What?

They can, difference is a vast majority of people don’t want to buy/build a PC, or deal with a PC setup in general, they just want to press one button to make it work and sit on the couch. So the easy option for them is buying a console, it’s plug and play, while a PC requires quite some setup.

The difference is the price of buying discs vs. buying from a digital store that has no competitors.

I’ve bought almost exclusively second-hand discs for my PS5, because they’re like half the price for the exact same content.

Sadly it’ll probably be just a matter of time before those will be phased out as well, one way or another.

It was pretty much a given that this would happen, since there were already options with and without disc drives.

And obviously sooner or later gaming will probably move to an entirely online service like streaming.

It’s just a matter of time until the internet and worldwide coverage is ready for it. I always imagined that in a distant future we’d basically only buy a controller, that connects to an app that’ll let you stream. And every game will be in a subscription service like a Netflix.

From what I read it was over 8 years in development, it should’ve been well beyond a rework, or maybe even a couple, already.

I’m almost certain that Sony, as any boss, was quite done with the whole fiasco and just said “fuck it, let’s go” and just see what happens. It probably wasn’t worth the time and effort to keep putting resources into a project going nowhere.

Damn I remember needing those things to get proper sound in Battlefield 1942, otherwise they’d all sound like frikkin’ chipmunks lmao

It takes only a minute to check on Metacritic what the majority of negative reviews are about.

There are a few legit ones, but most are just trashtalking Ubisoft. Or saying horsecrap like “looks like PS3 games”, which it clearly doesn’t. Or every positive review is “paid by Ubisoft”, and people even complaining about it being a woke political agenda, fucking lmao.

I strongly doubt these trolls even installed the game.

I’m not defending a large company.

I’m expressing my enjoyment of this game. I do not care what company is behind it.

The problem lies with the people that let their entire opinions be molded by the large company behind it.

I never said I assume that every bad review is from someone who hasn’t played.

But you can’t ignore the insane amount of hate Ubisoft is getting for the most insignificant non-issues just because they’re Ubisoft. It takes like a few seconds to notice how the troll armies are linking stuff from various clickbait YouTubers and streamers on social media, and no doubt a vast majority of negative feedback is coming from there.

I’m not ignoring the legit issues this game has, because they are definitely present. And I’m doing my part in reporting them to Ubisoft, instead of making trollposts about it on social media, so we can all enjoy a better game. Sadly that isn’t part of the majority’s crusade against Ubisoft, they’re just out there farming internet points, banking on the circlejerk hate.

I can almost guarantee that the upcoming Metacritic user reviews are a prime example of “Hue hue Ubisoft bad”.

It really isn’t a bad game.

I’m 7 hours in and having a blast (pun intended). It’s an alright game if you’re not into SW, it’s an awesome game if you are. Reminds me a lot of Hogwarts Legacy, the game didn’t bring anythinbg new to the market, but it’s fun if you’re into the theme.

There have been a few technical difficulties but nothing as bad as games I played before, which got much higher ratings and didn’t get blasted for it as hard as people do with this game.

People just really let their hate for Ubisoft take over and jump on that social bandwagon for internet points, even though the game plays barely like any other Ubisoft game I’ve played in the past 30 years.

I bet later today Metacritic user reviews will be flooded with people who haven’t even played the game and just base their entire opinion on a few buggy game clips.

Frankly it’s not even a big deal. There is still the special ability that lets you shoot multiple targets like Red Dead, but I basically never use it.

I don’t really got the impression that the main character is the kind that does random ghetto drive-bys from a speeder.

I’m almost certain the only reason Concord has players is because of social media incessantly talking about it. The only reason I know of the game is because of social media.

Just let it die and move on already.

Well just saying, there are 59 reviews on there right now, and only 8 of them score a 6,5 and lower. I doubt that all of them are pandering to publishers, most seem pretty legit and realistic about the issues they have with the game.

That said, I don’t think the game was ever meant to do anything groundbreaking anyway, so it being mid seems alright to me.

That’s a bit of cherry-picking though. Almost all reviews seem to range from 7,5 to 8,5 with a few lower ones dragging down the overall score.

Just got into it yesterday too, it seems alright so far, but frankly it’s nowhere near the 96% rating on Steam for me. Especially considering the technical issues for many, I got a 4080 Super I had expected it to handle better than it does, so anyone with lower cards is going to have to turn down a lot of settings that make it look so good.

Like around 70-80% score would seem more realistic. God of War also has 96% overall rating on Steam, I’d still recommend that game over Wukong if anyone hasn’t played either. At least based on the first few hours.

I think it’s like a trope for many of these kind of games to put (optional) ridiculously difficult bosses at the start of the game as some kind of skill check.

I wish they updated some of the visuals like other MMOs often do after many years. I like GW2 and gameplay still works well, but it looks so dated compared to other MMOs that refreshed most of their stuff.

I think they just meant it to be what gameplay looks like on PC specifically. Probably should’ve called it a PC graphics showcase instead or something.

There are a bunch of gameplay trailers out there, as well as impressions from people that got to play it.

“Single, how you still are?”

This is the most ridiculous American thing I’ve read in a long time.

They really went above and beyond to look for any “legal” excuse to get away with it. Whoever suggested to even use this as a defense can’t possibly be a human being. What an absolutely disgusting low-point for such a company…
