― Tracer Hand, Thursday, 10 June 2021 20:00 (two years ago) link
i mean if you really want me to buy a ps5, new souls by any other name is how you do it

its on ps4 too
― ciderpress, Thursday, 10 June 2021 20:04 (two years ago) link
I reaaally don't want to have to buy a PS5 (especially since just finding one seems like a whole thing), but given that Dark Souls 3 seems to barely run on my PS4, I can't imagine how current gen will handle this.
Anyway, it looks amazing.

For purely selfish reasons, all I can say is - and I'm sorry for this - please be delayed.

you're allowed to buy it later
― ciderpress, Thursday, 10 June 2021 21:03 (two years ago) link
you're allowed to buy it later, when it costs less!
― Karl Malone, Thursday, 10 June 2021 21:07 (two years ago) link
if you purely selfish, you would want it to be released today so that you could play the GOTY version of it at $19.99
that would maximize the gaming pleasure / $ ratio
― Karl Malone, Thursday, 10 June 2021 21:08 (two years ago) link
Fair enough. Though we don't know how long it takes as of yet for a $70 PS5 game to drop down to $20 or less. Or even if they ever will. But yeah, I figure it will be ... 2025 before I get to Elden Ring?

But if this and nu-God of War 2 hit in 2022, it will be hard for me to resist their call for much more than a year.
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 10 June 2021 21:14 (two years ago) link
I only want to play it at launch for the traditional chaos of everyone trying to figure out the multiplayer at the same time, before anyone really knows what they're doing.

unfortunately the god of war 2 sequel has been sacked, due to the little boy in the game. he died
― Karl Malone, Thursday, 10 June 2021 21:26 (two years ago) link
was murdered, actually, for being too annoying
oh, he wasn't that bad.
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 10 June 2021 21:32 (two years ago) link
i just hope that in the sequel he's more of a sullen, say-nothing teenager. but he's really angry and good at fighting

I wish I was a person who had fewer bad video game opinions and cared about anything from From.
― Burying A Horse: C or D? (Leee), Friday, 11 June 2021 00:45 (two years ago) link
i don't like from games but this one's a bigger temptation to give them another shot than the last few
― ciderpress, Friday, 11 June 2021 00:53 (two years ago) link
Oh, wait, this is coming to PS4, too? Problem solved.
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 11 June 2021 01:12 (two years ago) link
so is god of war, probably
― ciderpress, Friday, 11 June 2021 01:28 (two years ago) link
I've no problem waiting another year for a PS5. There's not much that's essential on it yet and still have a backlog of PS4 games to play.
― groovypanda, Friday, 11 June 2021 08:59 (two years ago) link
In fact, because not only are most of these future PS5 games coming out for the PS4 as well, looks like they will often be offering upgrades and patches to make them PS5 ready anyway. So I can take my time with my massive PS4 backlog, and when it's time to get a new system, a lot of the stuff I have can suddenly be transformed into PS5 games, and I can continue the backlog from there. So far, there are only a couple of big titles that are PS5 exclusive, right? Demon's Souls and Returnal, which are both still kind of niche, and the latter which seems like the most maddening of all worlds (bullet-hell plus rogue like plus Dark Souls).
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 11 June 2021 12:05 (two years ago) link
Think the new Ratchet & Clank is PS5 only too
― groovypanda, Friday, 11 June 2021 13:06 (two years ago) link
The last game was fun but pretty slight, and the reviews for this new one scan pretty tepid to me. That is, more of the same. So that's not the one to do it for me.
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 11 June 2021 13:46 (two years ago) link
only game that would get me to buy a PS 5 is GTA VI
― calstars, Friday, 11 June 2021 13:54 (two years ago) link
everyone forgets that other than bloodborne ps4's first big wave of system-selling games came out 3-4 years in
― ciderpress, Friday, 11 June 2021 14:27 (two years ago) link
I'm curious why, since this looks Extremely From? (which is exactly what I was hoping for)
― change display name (Jordan), Friday, 11 June 2021 14:37 (two years ago) link
oh it's more the timing than the content. its been long enough since i bounced off my last attempt at dark souls
― ciderpress, Friday, 11 June 2021 14:49 (two years ago) link
Ah I see. :)
I'm just hoping that all the cool things they're apparently adding - open world, horses, Sekiro-style blocking - don't mean that invasions are off the table.

will probably get a PS5 when FFXVI eventually releases, not in a hurry tbhcan't think of anything I want to play less than Death Standing Directors Cut lol
― ( X '____' )/ (zappi), Friday, 11 June 2021 16:27 (two years ago) link
I love the R&C games but it's not going to make me rush out and buy a PS5 xps
― groovypanda, Friday, 11 June 2021 18:05 (two years ago) link
I love "not going to rush out and buy a ps5" posts... as if that's the thing you can actually do...
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Friday, 11 June 2021 18:11 (two years ago) link
i managed to get a switch during the launch period bottleneck, if i actually wanted a ps5 i'd find a way
― ciderpress, Friday, 11 June 2021 18:19 (two years ago) link
if you are really bothered about getting a PS5 they are not that hard to find, just a lot of effort and time babysitting websites etcSeries S/X are a lot more available in the UK tho, I wonder how those are selling overall
― ( X '____' )/ (zappi), Friday, 11 June 2021 18:24 (two years ago) link
zappi please teach me... i have failed like 50 times to get one
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Friday, 11 June 2021 18:46 (two years ago) link
Lol depends where you are in the world, plenty of websites that have alerts set up for stock e.g. for US @wario64 and @mattswider on twitter, there's a Bestbuy restock happening today for example
― ( X '____' )/ (zappi), Friday, 11 June 2021 19:16 (two years ago) link
Really tho being in UK I'd handroll my own alerts system by using one of the many browser extensions to watch for webpage changes on any webpage that is selling the PS5 in my country. just a lot of waiting around and hoping I'm quick enough on the draw.
― ( X '____' )/ (zappi), Friday, 11 June 2021 19:35 (two years ago) link
italy need little balls. apparently.
― Fizzles, Friday, 11 June 2021 19:43 (two years ago) link
not that hard, just need to roll your own alert system is all lol
― Tracer Hand, Friday, 11 June 2021 19:48 (two years ago) link
i believe i posted in the wrong thread.
― Fizzles, Friday, 11 June 2021 19:50 (two years ago) link
xplol you don't really need to, but it sure would help a lot!

showing my little balls to the shopkeep so i can buy an italian PS5
