Got rid of my Xbox and PS5 as I was sick of having to pay out for subs (PSN/XBL) so I'll gladly take any of the PS5 games that Sony offer on PC, even if we have to wait a while.

Good to see the Sony exclusives still coming.

There's no way Sony is giving up on PC ports now.

They invest into developing a game and get all the sales within their own game store, plus the exclusivity boosts the sales of the console itself and next titles in the franchise. Then, after all this effort and cost is long gone, they get to invest minimal effort to sell and hype the same game all over again to another audience and, again, try to hook these players into the franchise perhaps even selling a console to them. There are no downsides, only extra money.

Finally the patience has held off. No need for a console when you have a PC

Recently finished zero dawn on PC and really enjoyed it. Hopefully this lives up to it's predecessor!

[–] Dasnap@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Played on PS5 and I enjoyed Forbidden West more than the first one.

[–] newthrowaway20@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

I feel like the gameplay and traversal was a lot more fun, but the story in the first one is way way better.

[–] MonkCanatella@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Right on, finally coming to PC. Now we just need GOW

[–] Greensauce@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

Assuming you mean Ragnarok? The 2018 version of GoW already came to PC.

WAT that's a lot sooner than I was expecting!

Aiming with kbm let's gooo.

I play these games with DualSense even on PC.

6 October 2023 for PS5

Hopefully all the content is on the disc!

It hopefully won't have built-in spyware like the predecessor.

On PC, HZD is a privacy nightmare with no option to turn off data collection - you either comply to full data collection, or "limited", whatever that means.

Another reason not to buy a PS5! Yay PC.

[–] echoplex21@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Oh my god does that mean we can finally stop seeing the “What the point of buying an Xbox if I have a PC” comments everywhere ?

So you don't have to reinstall windows to get your install fo halo infinite to work properly (true story)

[–] Destraight@lemm.ee -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh it's finally being completed? Then what happened to it being released 6 years ago? What was that? The BETA? I thought it was a full game?

[–] calculuschild@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

This game came out in 2022.
