when you ask people what did they expect when trying to run the game on an original PS4 that has hardware many generations old?

This is a really, really, bad argument...
It doesn't matter when a game comes out on any console... Consoles (outside of the more recent base vs pro versions) are static hardware (unlike our beloved million-variation PCs), and every game launched on them, should work on them. It's up to those companies releasing on a console to make sure their engine is 'dumbed down' enough that it runs smoothly, not up to the consumers, who rightly assumed a product for their console should work on their console.

Hmmm... Did not expect a Launch Trailer to make me less interested in the game... The concept never sold me, but that trailer was like anti-hype for me, which is odd... Maybe I'm becoming one of the curmudgeons afterall : )

Anyhow, I know a lot of people are stoked, and looking forward to this, and I hope they have the time of their gaming lives tomorrow+ with it.

I watched the trailer and.. already played something better (Genshin) pass....

Wow... Just imagine how many great games would have been ignored if this was a common feeling...

Oh good... They're repeating the LK Pre-patch event mostly intact ; )

"Sword wielding tin can of whoop ass"...
Sold!

That was a quick crunch.

lol... Crunch is until a few weeks after launch... There'll be a massive Day 0 patch, and another in the next week or two...

Interesting they're calling out the end of Flash being the reason... Because the switch would be fairly trivial/cheap, relative to what they've raked in over the years... If they were still profitable.

So we didn't know pre-orders were ACTUALLY the day before than the day they said they were, until an hour after it started, so BB was naturally sold out... But the wife persevered on a slowly loading EB and nabbed one. Whether that turns out to be legit and actually shipped/received in a few months, we'll see : )

Didn't see any launch titles worth jumping on; I thought Horizon was going to be a launch title, but it wasn't in the list, so I don't know... However, I'm more interested in re-playing some PS4 games from an SSD; namely, Bloodborne, which I haven't had the patience to replay since launch because of how slow that thing chugs along. Seems a good time to also play through Horizon, God of War, maybe finally finish Spidey...

Maybe Steam should throw their two cents into this to and Sue EPIC for trying to monopolize the market with the backstabbing bullshit they are doing. I mean in all honestly I think Steam might have a case in this.

This one Doctor, this comment right here...

Geezus... This is Trump level logic there.

Wet Dreams Come True was too much for them?

That was an entertaining trailer : )

$20 on PS4 but $50$ on PC. For a 3+ year old game.

Then go play it on a PS4. Your entitlement to assume that all the time and expense it took the developers to port it over to PC to then sell it on Steam for $20 minus Valve's 30% is foolish. I own it on PS4 but as far as I see it, this is a new game for PC gamers.

Its the same assets. Same story. 99.99% of the game is already done! Why do we have to pay an extra $20 for a old game? PC users getting screwed over just like when PC games jumped to $60 for no damned reason other than "well we milked the console users for an extra $10 why not the PC users too!".

Look, I get it that you're new to gaming, and this is one of the first games you HAVE to pay 'an extra $20' for... But the trend of PC gaming (more quickly than console IMHO), is that the price will drop fairly rapidly. Do what you should be doing for any game... Buy it at the price point that has value for you.

I'll be picking this up, again, when it gets around $20, as it's one of the very rare games I've gone through everything (minus expansion) twice.

Well, on the plus side, I had stopped looking forward to trying it years ago, so I guess nothing has changed.

Good for them... Hope it ends up being a fun game.

The way that email is written implies that Epic is reaching out to recent purchase makers to just throw some money at them... Like, I could, and have, had other stores do this (Future Shop, in Canada, before BB bought them, you could just head up to the Customer Service desk with your receipt and get the difference), but for the company to pro-actively do that is just straight bad business practice heh

Dang it, I told myself I wasn’t going to buy anything until my backlog was reduced, but FarCry 5 for $5 was too much for my weak constitution to handle and I caved.

I ended up using the GTA V awarded sale coupon for New Dawn, Deluxe Version (because it wouldn't work with the cheaper base version)... I thoroughly enjoyed 5 (and Primal, 4, 3), so figured this'd be a good bet finally.

And speaking of GTA V... Anyone know if it's any good? : )

Cool trailer... And some gameplay (though mostly cinematic)... Going on the wish list for when it's at a 'reasonable' price ; )

Cool video... But it tells me absolutely nothing about the game... So that's a pass.

Good luck getting Just Cause 4 to run. Many are getting a "missing DLL file" upon trying to launch the game.

Well that's unfortunate... I tried one of the previous JC games (not sure if 2 or 3), and it felt like an Open World Playground instead of a game, but I was turned off pretty quick, so didn't end up really getting a feel for it.

JC 4 though... I binged the shit out of... Played all day Thursday, half the day Friday and Saturday, focusing on the missions, ignoring the challenges, and enjoyed the process quite a bit. Enjoyed the story, and the voice acting, for the most part.

Had some issues with some of the controls, and it felt like a (so bad) console port at times... Almost just said fuck it and threw it out after fumbling with the menu initially.

And this is why the free games stuff can work... It's a game I would never have bought, but now I'm curious about #5, if that happens... Not like, a launch purchase, but definitely an eventual purchase.

I like this series overall, so it's interesting to see this... Hopefully graphics aren't the only thing they're updating, as the interface could use some love.

My only problem with the series is when someone claimed they loved Crisis, up until the aliens were introduced, because, if they were paying attention, that happens in like, the first mission heh.

I also liked both environments, and ducking under tiny bushes making myself invisible until they wandered within half a foot. And standing still invis to not drain energy, then toggling it off, silenced headshot, toggle on, rinse and repeat.
