oh look, is that a gruff 30yo in armor who didn’t ask to be dragged into this war ?
You’re no where close to the story
A £70 roguelike is a big fucking ask.
The only one I’ve played, completed and enjoyed was Hades. It doesn’t waste your time even on a failed run. A run is like 40 minutes of real time. That’s about where this shit needs to be to attract non-masochists. Even then, £70.

If only we could see the reason why… jesus is everyone in modern gaming business turning into morons?
That would imply they weren’t morons already
Sony eventually has to see that the console model is not functioning like it used to. There are many reasons for it, some up for debate, but the writing is on the wall.
Question is: will they adapt and stop with their console exclusive nonsense in time, or will every studio they own slowly get shut down?
I hope for the former, but I expect the latter.
Nintendo will be next up as consoles fall away. Their fans are rabid, but you can’t expect reselling 30-year-old games on cheap-ass hardware to last forever as a business model, especially when no one has as much disposable income anymore.
Noone wants to make exclusive games these days since it cuts ~66% of the profit.
Nintendo will be fine so long as they maintain control over their intellectual property and stay focused on the handheld market. Nintendo Switch (1 and 2) has sold nearly 200 million units. Steam deck, their closest competition, is closer to 10 million. Obviously the Switch has been around for nearly a decade. But handheld consoles are here to stay. Plus Nintendo is vicious when it comes to maintaining control of their properties… Which are beloved. Pokemon, Mario, Zelda… As long as it keeps those locked down and stays ahead of the handheld competition, they will be fine.
There is no more cheap-ass hardware, so they don’t even have that going for them.
It’s not cheap-ass for the consumer, but it is cheap-ass for Nintendo to produce.

Probably doesn’t help that this is the first I’ve heard of it.
I will definitely play this at some point. Returnal is up there in my like, top 5 games of the past few years. I will happily wait for sale.
Be warned, it is a much shallower game than Returnal was. It is a better 3D bullet hell. More bullets in denser patterns and more bullet types. Everything else about the game is worse and not by a little.
Returnal was fantastic. That is unfortunate to hear.
Does ps5 have good sales?
Sometimes. Though in my experience, the best sales prices were mostly with the PS+ additional discounts. Like without PS+ you could get 10% off but with the subscription you’d get another 5-10% off. Nothing like Steam’s sales.
The vast majority of sales don’t even have PS+ bonuses (which used to be the main draw on PS3). And the sales are regularly sub-$10 for older games. It doesn’t compare to Steam. But you can still get a lot of good deals.
I would be all over this if it were available on a platform I actually owned. But I’m not about to pay $1k to play it (or whatever it costs after Sony’s latest round of price hikes on aging hardware).
I would buy this on PC in a heartbeat. Too bad Sony doesn’t like profits
This is what blows my mind too. I think of if Helldivers 2 was exclusive, pretty much all of my friends own it and (as far as I know) none of them own a PS5. Locking it out of platforms is just saying that they down like money imo.
That’s alright. Can just emulate it in a few years
Hold on… Okay, so what you’re saying is… Locking games behind one platform, especially a dying one, leads to significantly fewer copies sold? I’m speechless. How is that even possible? If only we could figure out a way to foresee such events…
PS5 a dying platform? Have you seen Sony’s financial year statement from last month?
do you have a link to the breakdown by division ?
I can see general statements but nothing with breakdowns.
Magnets, how do they work!?
It’s ok, Sony doesn’t like PC money anyway so 300k copies must be perfectly fine for them.
only 300k
Only fuck guys.
That’s pretty average for a new game.
I know you lot have a weird hate boner for Sony. But Jesus H Christ
Release it on PC and watch it sell more, almost as if releasing it on more platforms allows more people to access it.
Looks like an interesting game. Where is the link to the Steam page, so I can buy and give my money to Sony, so Sony becomes more rich?
Just get Returnal instead, it’s the better game
That’s the fun part…
if only it was available on a different platform
