      Their PC ports are typically trash as far as performance goes i was thinking of EAs star wars PC ports. Sony games themselves are pretty good though. Sony has a horrible (and well deserved) reputation with online gaming though.

      The games themselves are still good overall - but they’re forcing that you need a psn account in order to play them. It started with helldiver’s 2, it was wildly popular - then a few months after launch they started forcing that you had to have a connected psn account in order to play even though they said it was optional when it launched.

        In Helldiver 2’s case it was optional because it was broke on launch, then they added it in later and folks felt like they were bait n’ switched.

        Sony will learn the same lesson the other big companies learned. More hoops = less players. Its not like there’s a shortage of good PC games out there.

      People don’t like that they’re wanting them to log into a psn account. But otherwise the ports are fine and the games are great (if you like the kinds of games that they make).

      No they are not. In Fact they are one of the best games being made right now . Alghtough they are getting a tad too similar to each other. Also there is just mot enough of them being made

      Some might be, but the Horizon games (including the PC ports) are bonafide masterpieces and I personally love the Assassin’s Creed RPG trilogy and Rock Band 🤷

          I’ll take your word for it but I never played it myself since I’m not really into the whole survival genre 🤷

            If you like story driven games, it’s pretty good, if you look for good gameplay, this is not it.

            Oh my god you’re missing it. It isn’t a survival game. It is a masterpiece of story telling.

            I haven’t played it since the month it was released, but thinking about it still makes the hairs on my arms stand up. Within 5 minutes of playing the game I was on an emotional rollercoaster. It might be the only game I ever played that hit me that hard, with Red Dead 2 trailing it by a mile despite being the best game I’ve played in years.

            You are cheating yourself if you never play it. I do not like survival games either, at all. Not even a little bit. The Last of Us might be the greatest game ever made.

              It’s like you get to play the main character in a movie - a really good movie. I would agree, it’s one of the best games ever!

            The Last of Us is as much of a survival game as Elden Ring is a toddler-level Peppa Pig clone. You are crazy to pass from playing TLoU it is a fucking magnum opus chefs kiss of a video game.
