I’ve got a buddy that constantly goes on about how PlayStation’s exclusives are what keep him buying PlayStation but at this point they’ve got Bloodborne and Ratchet and Clank and then some times exclusives like Final Fantasy. I don’t get it.

Ratchet and clank is also available on PC

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

The latest one is, but all the others ain't yet as far as I am aware. Either way, it blows my mind they decided to go that route, making a playstation less desirable.

The sales for software must be more profitable than the hardware, that's also why Microsoft made everything Xbox also on PC.

I think it's also that the people that want the games but haven't bought a PS4 or 4 after so many years would never buy one, so they might as well sell just the games to them.

I got a PS5 partly for God of war and partly for a 4k DVD player to watch Lord of the Rings... Was it worth it? Probably not, but I do like the controller and use it on PC more than the PS5 😄

Lmao my PS4 is the similar. I use it for Plex almost exclusively since their like 80%, completely unjustified PS Plus price hike(s).

Sold my PS5 and bought a guitar instead.

Bloodborne is the only real must-play they have if you ask me.

[–] tkohldesac 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I still need to get around to this. Everything I hear is just amazing.

[–] Renacles 1 points 9 months ago

It holds up really well, on par with Dark Souls 3 I'd say.

And it's not even new. The audacity to charge $70 for a makeup artist to touch hp a ps3 game. It baffles me that bloodborne is a title Sony refuses to allow a port of, even as they let first party in-house developments and ps exclusive since ps2 era - Ratchet and Clank and God of War go to pc.

[–] Renacles 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Demon Souls and Bloodborne are stuck there it seems, they probably are free publicity for Playstation whenever From makes anything new.

[–] Exusia 2 points 9 months ago

My headcanon is that Demon souls and Bloodbourne must be something special to someone pretty high up at Sony, because nothing else really makes sense.

It's all they have known, he just doesn't know any better.

[–] tkohldesac 1 points 9 months ago

It isn’t, though. He went FROM PC gaming to PS4/5 exclusively for some reason. Just wild to me.
