I'm slowly making my way through City myself atm. I think the problem is that Asylum was super focused, and City is super unfocused. City has new characters showing up to derail the story like every 15 minutes. It's too much. The city itself has the same problem. It's cool but there's too much of it and overall it's not as well designed as the smaller asylum. I'm gonna perservere though.
Fair. I don't have high hopes for that game though. Especially when I found the mainline entries while very pretty, decidedly mid.
I don't know why people keep saying this. Most of the ports were good to great. Two or three bad ones, which were mostly improved later on. And plenty of other AAA games do great on PC with shit ports. I just checked and the only "disasters" were HZD (fixed later on), TLOU (mostly fixed), and SM2 (still not in a great state, admittedly). I'm obviously not defending shit ports but that's three out of how many good ones? "tech disasters time after time" is not an accurate characterization.
Returnal as a port was pretty good if I recall. TLOU was fucking awful on release.
I said non PlayStation hardware, not everyone wants to be forced to play on 8" screen. Unless they can make the Portal also dockable to TV. The PS6 Portable would be dockable but then you're back to the argument of $500-$600 expense of hardware.
Except for the three I listed, none of their ports were worse than huge PC successes like Elden Ring and Jedi Survivor. I already mentioned TLOU as one of the few exceptions. Again, your characterization was inaccurate.First impressions and thus the FOMO sales are mainly day 1.
I'll refer you to this thread
and that's not even going with the worst port in probably a decade with TLOU. It took more VRAM at launch for low settings on 8GB cards while looking worse than a PS3 256MB TLOU texture wise. Cmon.
Oh, they care.

's points about streaming services generating more revenue because of the subscription required and only for games purchased via PSN. I think Portal's success was probably surprising for Sony and if anything, they are going to focus more on this segment. Expanding beyond PlayStation hardware wouldn't be surprising in this regard.
It's why people talk about Sony releasing games on PC and not Nintendo. Everyone knows the profit margins are thinner so it's much more likely Sony will put their games on PC since they already have.
'a bunch of games that don't even exist yet won't be coming to pc!'...
What is that cost?
HZD is probably the worst game I've ever played. Nobody hates Horizon more than me. But Marathon has humbled me. I will not shit on anyone excited for that game (if they exist).
???
What about all the other games that are already released?
This isn't something that Sony has officially stated, so your reasoning is weird.
Great, another useless troll.
Dudes a troll, don't waste ya energy lol
Yes, and they could've also served the PC community via PSN sales. They should've started off with that to begin with back in 2020. Could've been a refined experience by now.It's an add-on point to
They have cancelled almost all of their gaas games. Right now, we have Marathon, Horizon Hunters Gathering and well thats it. The jade raymond game Fair Games is all but dead, and no other studio that i know of is making a gaas game.
Tokon?
You were wondering why people don't bring up Nintendo games coming to PC and I explained it. No need to get upset.
Excellent news, they finally came back to their senses and stopped this madness. I will appreciate their games even more.
PC crowd realizing no more free SONY games
I can assure you, I'm not upset.
Then they have nothing to be upset about... oh wait, it's because it's not about the games themselves, really.The Schrodinger PC gamer
They lust for Sony games but Sony games is pulling out because PC gamers didn't care as much as Sony thought they would
and both of these GaaS games are bomba
You're overthinking this way too much. They didn't do that well on PC because they were late ports.
All this I can agree with. Most of their tentpole first-party games are just not that good. I think one reason the sequels did especially poorly on PC because by the time they finally released, word of mouth had gotten around that they were just more of the same - and not in a good way. The next entries in the GoW, Horizon, Ghost franchises need to do more to shake up the formula. But being delayed releases was probably still the biggest issue here.
Full priced late ports at that
I approve that he speak now at least. I must have thousands of laugh emojis from this guy, he's my biggest fan for sure he's boosting my reaction score everyday.
Yea, him and T Tacitus_killgore17 make me feel like a regular Rodney Dangerfield! What a great crowd
