I played a couple of hours on my brother's machine. Didn't do any quests or anything too in depth but the combat is a ton of fun

I bet!

just get it man, its almost half year away for PS5...This game is tons of fun in just the early couple hours I played. Beautiful, nice story, and AMAZINGLY engaging combat.

Yeah, i rented it. I don't know if you have something similar in Europe but here in the US there's a rent service called Gamefly. You pay a monthly membership and get as many games as you want. Most games aren't really worth paying full price not because they aren't good but I'm not really into beating games multiple times unless it's a 400+ hour journey like The Witcher.

 

Buy on AliExpress.com

It seems Ghost of Tsushima is being praised by everyone. I'm having the same dilemma as with Cyberpunk; should I wait for the next gen version of the game or just play it now?

Well, while I won't be buying any brand new full price current gen games I couldn't resist and decided to rent it. Can't wait to Samurai the shit out of it.

Just get both, planning to get a new pc in August so I'll get cyberpunk for the pc no doubt, GoT looks great though, defo getting that for the ps4

How is it going in Tsushima @KB824? Such a beautiful game. I'm making lunch while watching all the haikus I wrote lol. Havent done much main mission's yet, but upgraded Jin in skills alot with side quests /free roaming, combat gotten easy after big improvements so changed to hardest difficulty. Duels are the most fun, heres my first one:

I just don't have the time, to be honest.

how profitable these console exclusive games for developers anyway? it is like thousands of people want to pay for your product but you kindly tell them to fuck off.

 

[Osman]

It what makes Playstation the highest selling consoles every generation. Its litterally the brand maker. Multiplatform is the norm, but you have to have some exciting exclusives to incentivize why gamers should pick your platform the most. Its litterally the main reason why it wildly outsold Xbox for 20 years. Because gamers have the choice of play it on PC or Xbox, for the few Microsoft exclusives, while for PS usually just there (until way later with some more widlly released). They have in house owned studios that churn these out for them.


If it was all just multiplatform games for everyone, then Xbox might win it out because they have better all around friendly online mechanics and excellent menue/choice systems.

Holy crap the Legendary Yuji Naka is making a game for Xbox

 

[KB824]

Ok. That was fucking awful. No reason for me to get rid of my One X and move onto the next generation

Lol, why, what did they show.

 

[KB824]

Lol, why, what did they show.

10 minutes of Halo Infinite gameplay with graphics that showed no improvement at all, and a bunch of trailers. In fact, Halo Infinite was the only game that had any gameplay.

A lot of people took a shit on Sony's show, but they showed far more gameplay footage. By a mile.

Nothing interesting?

IMO Xbox will most likely lose the console war again unless they come up with new mind blowing exclusives, I just don’t care for a new Halo or Gears of War.

Microsoft are in danger of semi becoming like Nintendo who bet all their chips at Super Mario name, with Halo infinite. New Halo should only be the icing of the cake, not the whole cake you are offering.


You have to diversify and give fans a whole new brand of gaming experience too with a new console. Multiple in house franchises or new games to entice. Exclusives is the single most important reason PlayStation dominates, and why I and many others get it.
