What will PS players do? Stop buying consoles?

Yep, just the same as happened to Xbox.

 

[Ozriel]

Your GOTY last year contains tons of woke DEI crap, you’re completely disingenuous in your inflammatory takes

Indiana Jones?

Are you on crack?

 

[Hari Seldon]

This is a console-ass-console game. It turns out that people who like console games probably own a console. If you want to sell huge quantities of games on PC you have to make PC games. Coop, survival, strategy, etc; the games need to be deeper and more complicated than a game designed to babysit 8 year olds like Spider-Man.

Personally I played the first one, and just like the first Horizon game I thought it was good, but I was completely done with it. I want nothing more from either franchise. I think there is simply open world action game fatigue.

 

[LectureMaster]

I walk into my grocery store each week and start raging at how goddamn woke it is

Omg look there’s a black person

Jfc!!! Are you kidding me? A person in a wheelchair chair

Holy shit they even have short haired ugly white woman who dares to complain to the manager

Oh man, you were just self-portraiting right?

 

[GymWolf]

Tbf she was not really smokin hot but she was already annoying even in the first game.

 

[LectureMaster]

Best thing I love my man Adam is that fanboy about one platform doesn't turn you into a complete baby.

 

[Kacho]

Oh man, you were just self-portraiting right?

That wasn’t the time for nuance™

 

[diffusionx]

The original peaked at 67,000... at some point Sony is going to realize that this PC push is not working that well and tanking the PlayStation platform they spent 30 years building up at the same time.

Me on the bottom right

 

[TheStam]

Sony have to release competent ports and also stop acting like they're Rockstar. They don't have a single IP that people are willing to wait and pay full price for.

 

[Mortisfacio]

The game isn't good. Should be lower.

 

[Cakeboxer]

Been saying this for a while. PC gamers just don’t give a fuck about the Sony single player games.

What do you expect without any promo? Thoses games prpbably wouldn't sell very good on console without the big marketing either.

 

[Syphon Filter]

good, dont support any woke games.

 

[NeverYouMind]

Don't they own the rights to Bloodborne?

 

[FubukiJ]

What they did to Mary Jane is insane.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Oh man, you were just self-portraiting right?

Making a funny quip isn’t calling it “woke DEI slop” that I’m going to boycott, ostensibly under the premise that you have some sort of noble cause, when in reality it’s just surface level warring

Everwild has a great art style, and if it’s a good game I’ll buy it day 1, despite it featuring the “woke” elements you supposedly hate

 

[DenchDeckard]

Your GOTY last year contains tons of woke DEI crap, you’re completely disingenuous in your inflammatory takes

What is wrong with you?

Indiana jones doesn't have 1 percent of the shit spider man 2 has.

Give me examples of the DEI woke shit.

Stop being disingenuous.

NSFW - leaked Insomniac inclusivity training video

www.neogaf.com

Go watch their inclusivity training video. They were making devs do mandatory Discord calls with gay women for some reason. They said in plain English “We’re not making this game for white people”. They hired Sweet Baby Inc to edit their script.

Nobody is saying they hate seeing black people at the grocery store. People hate seeing devs taking a giant shoehorn and cramming these fringe liberal talking points into a fuckin Spiderman game. Nobody bought Spiderman 2 to have slow walk and chats about BIPOC artists.

I already did, your bias allows you to somehow forget it all

Honestly dude. You've lost the plot in recent months. I feel sorry for you.

 

[GymWolf]

How some people dare to say this game isn't woke is beyond me:

1. You got a mission helping a black blind woman.
2. You got a side mission helping a black deaf girl, which has several appearances in the game.
3. A side mission helping two gays date (da fuk?).
4. Black Spider-Man.
5. White Spider-Man turns into a villain and is black Spider-Man who brings the hero back.
5. Mary Jane went from hot to ugly and now is a "strong, brave" type, and even transforms into a She-Venom at some point.
6. Insomniac devs have three different hair dye colors and are Gender Studies graduates.

don't forget the sidequest with miles where the white old rich guy steal stuff from a black music history museum, these cunts were not even worried about being subtle, like at all.

The game hit you with the delicacy of a sledgehammer, people saying that the game is not woke are just sony fanboys or people who could not recognize woke even after being hit in the face by a fake dick.

In comparions both ragnarock and forbidden west have nothing on sp2 as far as woke shit goes.

 

[TheStam]

Don't they own the rights to Bloodborne?

Sure, FROM games would sell well no matter how late I'm sure. I was more refering to games from their own first party studios.

 

[Mortisfacio]

Concord did a number

 

[Physiognomonics]

Been saying this for a while. PC gamers just don’t give a fuck about the Sony single player games. But Sony keeps whoring them out and devaluing their brand for a few million.

This. Also they are making worse games by trying to appeal to a wider (or modern) audience. In order to target more players (PC players here) they are making worse games technically and creatively.

They just stupidly want people to buy Nvidia cards and giving those 30% to Gabe, it's a death wish. All the numbers I am seeing is showing this. PC gaming is a dead end for their first-party business and will kill their single player studios. What have Bluepoint and Bend been doing in 4 years ? Their rare studios that weren't DEIed and previously released highly successful SP games (Insomniac leak showed this), catering to their customers, and they asked them to lose 4 years of their time doing GAAS shit.

The worse thing is they are still on the same destructive path. This is like a deadly virus taking over the minds of those people taking all those decisions. China, Korea, Japan, all the eastern creative minds are going to crush them in a few years, if not already.

In the end of 2019 they were doing record profits from their 1st party studios and elsewhere. Why did they change the PS4 era winning formula? Because of those stupid managers and financial advisers taking control of Sony then Playstation...

 

[Buggy Loop]

Wow, wtf is this?

Did they truely went on the offensive on Baldur's Gate III ?

 

[DenchDeckard]

Concord did a number

Must have...I can't think what else is going on. Sonys wiped the floor with MS. All the games are coming to ps5...yet he's out here antagonising everyone. Even pc users now.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Honestly dude. You've lost the plot in recent months. I feel sorry for you.

Anyone who trashes the entirety of SM2 as “slop trash” due to some insignificant pandering, despite liking the first game and hand waiving similar offenses in their personal GOTY, has lost the plot and/or is warring, plain and simple.

I’ve been consistent in my messaging that a good game is a good game even if it’s been sullied a tad with a bit of political crap that could have been removed to make the game less of an eye roll at times

 

[Mikado]

Great. Hopefully no more ports

Just Stellar Blade* please and then they can stop.

* with mod support ofc

 

[Kacho]

Just Stellar Blade* please and then they can stop.

And Rise of the Ronin. Both are on my hit list this year.

 

[Buggy Loop]

He's in total meltdown

To even compare Indiana Jones to shit. GTFO

Exhibit A and B I was talking about in the prior post

 

[Parazels]

Disaster of a port. Way more than it deserves.

Lazy port on the sinking "platform".

What could go wrong?

 

[PixelatedBeast]

Why do people act like any Playstation ports on PC do well at all? They all failed to make any noise. The only game that made any profit was Horizon Zero Dawn, and thats mostly because it was the first Playstation port, but that too didnt sell much either. Their ports average 40-70M revenue from sales, which pretty much only covers some of the development cost. People think that Sony porting their games is the sign of them moving to a multiplatform strategy, when the truth is they're only doing to make extra money they otherwise wouldnt get from PC only players. Nobody says no to more money.

They would be satisfied even if they game peaked at 1k, because its already the fastest selling Playstation studio game. Helldivers 2 sold more faster, but technically Arrow Head isn owned by Sony, and it also released day 1 on PC. Fortunately its full build wasnt leaked on PC like Spiderman 2 was, and has never been the target of culture war attacks from featuring too many black characters for some people to handle.

you forgot episodes from liberty city: the ballad of gay tony

lol

And that was a great game. It was progressive but not woke.

[Jaybe]

Story is known to be garbage already, so most people are skipping it

 

[sncvsrtoip]

Very good game and yet another proof that sony porting game to pc losing more than gaining

 

[ANoa]

Nah, if you look at the top pc games they are all awful slop

Nothing but GaaS garbage up and down the lists.

They could use some better taste

 

[PeteBull]

Tbf she was not really smokin hot but she was already annoying even in the first game.

The thing is- we, men can forgive and tolerate a lot of hidious behaviour from a woman as long as she is hot and loyal, aka not a hoe, we dont give that leeway to cave trolls tho xD

 

[Buggy Loop]

 

[Kerotan]

Bad port with zero marketing. Plus it seems that as time goes by, less and less people speak highly of this game.

Not surprising.

Playstation the ultimate place to play playstation games. Who'd have thought it.

[Topher]

Can you show me this post? I gotta read this

 

[AFBT88]

Still 18k higher than it deserves. Absolutely dogshit game. Probably the worst Sony game i've played my entire life and i like Spiderman.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

“Most played”

 

[Hookshot]

2 MS games and 0 Sony ones? I see why 64% of MS's December sales came from PlayStation users.

 

[Muddy]

I am under the impression that every new Sony port on PC is flopping harder than the last one.

Sony sequels are just not very good, and PC gamers have stronger taste than base PS fanboys who are hyping up really mid games this gen

Édit: for those of you PC gamers on the fence, do not buy the game, it’s really bland and uninteresting

You’re right.

PC gamers have stronger taste.

Mostly GaaS and a game called Banana in the Top 10.

 

[Musashipan]

DEI garbage
I'll stay away from it

You’re vastly overestimating port costs. Nixxes ported 5 games in about 13 months, with one of them being a full blown remaster. It’s a tiny Dutch studio of 60 people. Porting costs are probably on the order of one to two million dollars per game.
