I’m running out of excitement for this game. I wish game developers would quit blowing their loads in debuting games far too early and then over promising on delivery.
Cons just care about the kid until they are born. Not one second longer than that.
Fable is forever the game to me where the most complicated love triangles take place. I had a whole town in Fable II both trying to marry me and murder me, all at once. I’m honestly not even sure what happened in that game or what I was supposed to do, I was too busy managing the crazy hexagonal relationship dramas I had found myself entagled in.
It would be a massive loss for sure. One that will be felt for a long time. It’s the only way I can get around our thoroughly enshittified press up here in Canada. I mean I’d gladly pay, if it was worth paying for, which it’s not.
I agree with you on the second paragraph for sure. That’s a code issue here. But I suspect that a decision maker holding a budget at a development company, is going to struggle to want to spend development dollars on a product that has saturated 1% or however many percent of the market (we all know it’s super low).
There’s really only three ways to increase saturation though, to incite development: 1 - Create a product that’s a must have, which this pretty clearly isn’t. 2 - Target a core part of the market and bombard them with marketing and special pricing, which they pretty clearly aren’t. Or the ol’ usual go to, 3 - Cut the price to a level where people will make spur of the moment purchasing decisions to buy the product. 3 being about the only way, yet Sony has done none of this.
I remember buying the PSVR back in 2016, and while driving home being like, “Jesus did I really just spend $600 CAD on this?” If this same headset was $199 or maybe max $299 CAD, this wouldn’t even be a conversation and my dumb ass would probably have a PSVR2 downstairs right now, as would many many other people. It would be the ideal Christmas present for many people and kids at that price, especially when some of us have cranky wives that ask us what we want for Christmas, and we always just say I dunno, don’t worry about it. You’d probably would have way more games being developed too, because the thing would probably sell a heck of a lot better. Which brings me to my main point, if they can’t deliver the mainstream headsets in this sort of price range, I kind of question the feasibility of VR as a whole. No one wants to effectively pay for the equivalent of another PlayStation for something that is mostly novelty and of questionable lifespan/usage.
The PSVR had like 4 or 5 actually well thought out games, and the rest were shovelware you played once or showed your buddies when they were over, and that was that. So yeah, that was a lot of money for not a lot of entertainment.
I think I struggled to get to 20 hours, and now the things just a dust catcher in the living room, forever in the way. I couldn’t play it for more than 10 minutes without feeling like I was going to hurl, with the exception of 3 games (Resident Evil 7, which was awesome, Blood and Truth, which was also awesome, and that headbanging ball at the wall game the thing launched with, which was weirdly addicting and awesome). Even with those games, I could do an hour max, and it still made me queasy. That whole screen door thing was what did it, plus the blurry graphics and the lack of fresh air inside it. I’m sure the newer VR headsets are a lot better, but every time I walk by the dust catcher in the living room, I’m reminded to be wiser with my money.
I think PSVR2 was dead in the water before it was even released. It was pretty clear that nobody was going to pay that price, then Sony would do exactly what they are doing now, no more development, no more marketing, basically just letting it die a slow death. Which is on par with what they did with PSVR1. This whole PC thing is a low effort last ditch effort.
I remember telling people on Reddit on release day, that this thing was going to be a disaster, and getting down voted to like -144. None of those doornails are here to see this, but man was I fucking right.
Now if they would have priced it at like $199 or $299 maybe, we’d be having a different conversation, and I’m sure there’d be way more games being developed.
It’s actually the mods that did it for me. If you don’t have this really weird super specific but vague world view, and you can’t follow 143 different rules (some not specified), then they start censoring you and temp banning your comments and contributions. The mods on my community sub actually permabanned me when I questioned them on it, instead of discussing it. After that I was like this is infuriating, and I don’t really want to participate here. Problem is, they mod anything related to said topic, like city, province, country, most political parties, quite a few special interest topics, etc. Its super weird behaviour.
Glad to see they learned their lesson from rushing products out /s
If you are one of those 70 people, don’t even lift a finger from this point on. If you are required to go to the job, take a book or something to do and literally do nothing. Use it to find a new job, hopefully swiftly, where your talents will be appreciated.
For my work PC I feel like this could be really handy honestly. If it actually worked. Which AI never reliably does (nor Microsoft for that matter). AI feels like a pyramid scheme to me at this point, I mean this is bad and I get that, I’m just being honest. But I’ve never been able to get it to do something I actually wanted to that wasn’t more than a simple task.
But then all this said, any desire is immediately cancelled when I think about stuff like my work could probably use this to spy on me, and I’m pretty sure this means somebody could spy on my work, so I’m not so sure they’d be super for this tech either.
So I’m a bit confused here. Is this that I just have to have a PSN account to play multiplayer, or do I need an account + active subscription?
In my personal case a PS5 would be just fine. I spent a pile of money building an overpowered gaming PC, I’m in my 40s, work too much and have young kids, in retrospect it was kind of stupid. Should have just bought the PlayStation, but anyways, what do you do. It is fun to build and troubleshoot/fine tune them, I do enjoy that part. And I do get the appeal for others that want to mod and the like, it’s just not personally that applicable.
I went with a 4070ti, and honestly this is my last time building a gaming PC, because I just don’t see the advantage anymore vs just buying a PlayStation for like 1/4 of the cost.
Woulda bought one of those 7900xtx’s, if I could friggin have found one.
That maybe might have something to do with why the sales are not so hot. Just sayin…
Sega Master System. A kid never forgets his first video game system, and nothing has quite scratched that itch ever since.
Reddit is at end stage enshitification. I don’t even know how people tolerate that app or the website. It speaks volumes when there was a robust third party access marketplace.
I just wish the local content would relocate somewhere else. Once people wake up, and it does, that’s it for Reddit.
The enshitification of video gaming continues. It’s all about the stock market and investors now, not quality or experiences. It’s also why there hasn’t been an actually original video game since god knows when, it’s only about remakes and reproductions.
