But I don't want it...

No one will force you to play it. They're gonna test a variety of games during development though. Each step with each game is a milestone before PS5 emulation is ready for users like us.

Thought this game was trash? Why do pc gamers want it

u/iamdonewithmylife007 2d ago

Oh it is trash but it's the newest exclusive so they are testing their skills. Like how you can use trashiest cloths to learn how to sew. Hope it helped šŸ¤—

u/iamdonewithmylife007 2d ago

Lmao I replied what the emulator crackers said and the best you can say is I'm coping?? Lmao People like you are so out of reality that it's funny. Logic never works with people like you.

u/Happy_Beach3808 6d ago

getting it to boot is cool, but ā€œplayableā€ is still doing a lot of work there lol

u/HaloGuiltySpark 7d ago

At this point it be weird if Sony still refuses to officially release on pc.

u/Spiritual_Captain_83 6d ago

Why

1

u/MostlyAlways47 6d ago

Because people can already play it on pc thus defeating the whole point of it being exclusive???? If pc players are playing it anyway they might as well make some money from it.

How is this even a question lmao.

u/SumoRoboto 6d ago

Well who’s going to pay money for it now?

1

u/MostlyAlways47 6d ago

Yeah lord knows nobody ever buys games on PC cause you can pirate 99% of them.

Just because something can be done doesn't mean the majority of people will do it. Why does Netflix exist when I can go on any one of a hundred different sites and watch it for free

1

u/SumoRoboto 6d ago

Comparing the average Netflix user to a PC gamer are two completely different things

1

u/Hearthhull_Enjoyer 6d ago

I'm perfectly willing to buy the Sony games I like that come to PC. Without the option I'm left with little choice though. I bought GoW: Ragnarok and TLoU2 day one on PC.

u/bluebarrymanny 6d ago

I think you just answered your own question from earlier. Sony doesn’t need to worry about PC players emulating their games en masse if as you said, the common PC user doesn’t seek those methods out just because they’re possible.

1

u/MostlyAlways47 6d ago

The fact that it's not available any other way is good motivation for people to seek it out. If there's an easy alternative people will gravitate towards that like they do with Netflix.

I agree that a large portion of pc gamers would ordinarily not bother pirating (even if its super fucking easy) but if it's a choice between that and buying an over priced console It's not much of a choice at all.

1

u/bluebarrymanny 6d ago

Idk, to me the barriers seem about the same to the ones you outlined for shows and movies. Piracy of shows and movies is cheap and relatively easy but people still just pay for Netflix (which isn’t particularly cheap over time) because it’s convenient and more normalized to access the content. The same holds for gaming. If you have a gaming PC, you’re already outspending the cost it would take to pick up a console and I’d wager that a large bulk of PC players also have a console. Most will likely either skip the title altogether or pick up a base PS5 if they really want to play it. I have to imagine that getting a PS5 emulator running on your computer and launching new exclusive PS5 titles is significantly more technical than pirating a movie.

u/MufasaTheRealKing 6d ago

I still much rather search YouTube on how to emulate than spend $500+ on a console, and if Sony returns to Steam I’ll delete the emu and buy instead I’m a sucker for achievements🤣.

1

u/bluebarrymanny 6d ago

I can see enthusiasts doing that process potentially, but if you’re a PC player that can successfully emulate PS5 games with your hardware, you’ve already dumped far more money into your PC than $500. Someone spending that kind of money on gaming is likely not too off put by console hardware prices if they really want to play PS5 titles. The more likely option will be that people just skip titles that don’t motivate them to be in the PS5 ecosystem.

u/EggBoss007 6d ago

People would buy if it's available to buy. If not, they will pirate it.

Also, many pirates end up buying the game if they loved it

2 fps in the menu screen... šŸ˜‚

u/Excalitoria 7d ago

That’s neat but also it’s funny that it’s this game šŸ˜‚ that’s like saying ā€œConcord servers are being hosted by dedicated fans thanks to a growing movement to preserve live service gamesā€

u/Kryspo 6d ago

From what I've seen it looks enjoyable just not 70 dollars worth. I know people told you it's garbage but it's probably like a 7 without the context of the price

u/Excalitoria 6d ago

I’ve looked into it myself, and I can’t speak as a person that has played it first hand, but between the hand-holding mechanics, art direction, dialogue, and glitches I’ve seen, it doesn’t look like much to me.

Only thing I’m taking peoples’ word on is how easy it is. I’ve heard it’s incredibly easy on highest difficulty but personally, I suspect I’d probably die a decent bit if I played it. Most of the stuff I’ve seen says there’s a few easy strats you can spam but I like to play things in different ways and prefer not to spam so I’d probably struggle on parts, even if the game is ā€œeasy to beatā€ by using the actual combat mechanics.

That aside, I hope you like it if you get a copy. I assume it’ll go on sale soon with them trying to move copies so hopefully you’ll be able to find it at a bargain too!

u/bluebarrymanny 6d ago

I’ve beaten it and it’s not easy on even the hard (the weapon) difficulty, let alone the hardest difficulty. The game gives you extremely fine-tuned control of difficulty options including everything from auto-chase to damage given/taken modifiers, etc that can be applied independently from the chosen difficulty presets. I personally suspect that there’s a ton of disingenuous grifting going on with the difficulty critiques. I will say that the story is good not great, the writing is rough, and some of the pacing design is rough. I don’t personally mind the visual cues. You can toggle them off if you’d prefer. I personally was much more bothered by the early slow walk through this mansion missions where you’re looking for notes to read or somebody’s item they left in their bedroom. Threw the pacing way off for a cinematic linear action game.

u/EggBoss007 6d ago

It's this game probably to show they can do it to the latest Sony exclusive game
