Sony! Give it to meeeeeeee

I do gotta hope they rework the chalice dungeons tho.

[–] Zehzin 7 points 9 months ago

My take since the beginning is that chalice dungeons can be worked into a great riguelike mode

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

Really all they have to do with chalice dungeons is make them way less grindy. It takes way too long to get to the next tier.

At this point it feels like a Bloodborne remake that gets ported to PC is more likely than Bloodborne itself ever getting an official PC port.

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.

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

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 😄

[–] tkohldesac 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

Don’t forget about Infamous: Second Son, the only open world game set in Seattle.

I don’t care if they butchered the map, they nailed the drizzly rainy atmosphere and that sold me on the game alone.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

I hope if they'd ever do this, they won't make it like Dark Souls's first port. They were very bad on my not-so-good PC. And my newer PC would age before they even announce it. I loved it's speed.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver 6 points 9 months ago (2 children)

The first dark souls PC port was so bad... Lol

They've gotten much better at it since that embarrassment.

[–] RaoulDook 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It was still better than no PC port at all. I enjoyed it for years before Remastered came out. Still haven't played Bloodborne since it's not worth buying a playstation for

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, I played the original port way more than I've played remastered. I was just happy to be able to play it! (...any port in a storm?)

Bloodborne is really good. I hope you get to play it sometime if you enjoy the Souls games.

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

Prepare to die edition with dsfix was better that the remaster in my experience. I have hundreds of hours on PTDE compared to the 34 hours playing the remaster.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver 2 points 9 months ago

My numbers are pretty similar. The remaster was cool, but PTDE with dsfix was where I got most of my time in.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Good to know. I hope so!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

I'm still sad there's no sequel to Days Gone.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Holding out for Spider-Man 2 myself. Ghosts was the only other one on my list.
