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
new game
roguelike
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
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
I would buy this on PC in a heartbeat. Too bad Sony doesn’t like profits
That's alright. Can just emulate it in a few years
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.
It's ok, Sony doesn't like PC money anyway so 300k copies must be perfectly fine for them.
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.....
Geez after the debacle with their new DRM shit for digital purchases and rolling back their pledge to release to PC, I wonder fucking why people aren't climbing over themselves to throw money at 'em.
Not to mention general economics issues plaguing the world right now. Can't imagine many people have the disposable income to throw at video games to begin with.
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.
if only it was available on a different platform
Probably doesn't help that this is the first I've heard of it.
Is this some Hollywood accounting, where they set the game up to fail? I’ve literally never heard of it until this post.
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 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.
