So it will cost $1080 to play a first game on PS6 with no physical copy. I'm going to disable my networks on my Playstaytions so I don't get any more shittty updates, and switch to GOG. Fuck this walled garden shit.

For similar reasons I just flat out haven't bought a console since the PS3, except for the Switch. And even that I kind of regret. I really don't see any appeal anymore. The PS4, PS5, and various 'Bones are just cut down, locked down and DRM laden PCs anyway. There are no interesting architectural quirks anymore, the content and even input methods are all basically interchangeable now, and thus there's no reason to not just play on the PC I already have aside from exclusivity pigheadedness from Sony or Microsoft.

Agreed. I only bought the PS4 because they had Dark Souls 3. Don't think PC did for ay least a while. I can't see any games being worth it any longer. I'll just go outside or read a book if I can't get something that runs on a regular computer.

Wasn't there Bloodborne too? But yes, the point stands.

[–] ScoffingLizard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago

I was sore about Bloodbourne at first because the used dev reaources that were pulled from Dark Souls efforts. Also, I judged the game poorly for having a gun.

I changed my mind after being talked into playing it and now love it.
