The game itself is also a ps5 exclusive currently I believe, with plans to eventually come to other platforms. So maybe just some weird technical disclaimer?
That's a good point. Very weird disclaimer indeed, lol.
So it’s only exclusive for 23 days?
Really weird when the game isn’t currently on any other system…
Yeah, I didnt even realize it had come out already.
I'm looking forward to jumping back in. Loved the story, loved the gameplay. I just hate having to wait so long after finishing a story to jump back in with new content.
Have they made a patch to let you require the worthless sword if you sold it before realizing it's needed to craft a better one? Because I lost all desire to play at that point.
Are you mad that you sold a sword? That's probably one of the worst reasons I've seen for "losing all desire" for something I assume you spent money on
I get how it sounds, but I had the exact same situation in it freaking pissed me off to the point where I didn't bother with any of the other side quests.
When the final upgrade requires you to keep a sword that was weaker than the sword you just got, and you've never kept another sword prior to this, it kind of makes sense that you think it's okay to sell that old sword. Till it turns out you get another quest immediately after saying hey, if you have this old sword you can upgrade it. They could have avoided that whole situation if they just allowed me to buy it back. Or create it again, oh but it uses item quests that are exclusive to prior quests you can't redo, so you really only get that one chance.
I beat the game. It killed any desire to finish the rest of the side quests/hunts. And I'm mad that everything that you get from the hunts requires a sword that got surpassed ages ago in the game, with no way to get it back or any hint that you might want to hold on to outdated gear that was worse than what you had.
Basically, in order to craft the best gear, you have to do hunts for material. But you also need that sword. No hint not to sell it. And no way to buy it back. So no reason to do the rest of the game as you can no longer craft the reward for doing so.
I have quit playing games over way less than that, lol. I have so many games I own but haven't finished, and just as many that I've finished but would play again, there is no reason to stick with any particular one if I'm not feeling it.
"not feeling it" is a different reason than "I'm mad that i sold a sword and can't buy it back again"
Buying the game makes me lose all reason to live smh. Should've bought something better like diablo
If they continued playing simply because they spent money, they'd be yet another victim of the sunk cost fallacy.
