I'm onboard the get woke go broke shit,

But can you kindly explain exactly how Sony got woke, I've never played console shit

Did TLoU2 sell badly? I didn't play it because I didn't like the 1st one. I saw it getting dunked on a lot, but didn't really have a dog in the fight.

Saved me the trouble of reading all that shit.

The speedrunners for sure but that's for any game.

Ironically I disagree with you completely. I think the reason for this is that the industry chose to abandon the midsized team making annual or biannual releases in favor of always trying to make the biggest game ever with the biggest budget and best graphics. Not every game needs to be that.

I think software development is limited by bottlenecks rather than the amount of code your team can type, so I think most of the time having 500 people isn't any better than having 50, and actually the job of managing those people becomes a large enough undertaking that it slows everything down and distracts the most experienced and talented devs.

Back in like PS1 days you could have a midsize team crank out a decent quality game within 6-12 months or so. Now you need teams of hundreds dedicated to a specific task (rendering/engine/etc) taking a minimum of 3-4 years if everything goes well (it never does). Reusing middleware can cut into the time needed but not by much.

okay but why is this the case

like sure if the dev team was making their own engine from scratch i can see it taking years and years but arent most games these days even big ones made in like unreal engine and the like

why cant a team of 20 people make an unreal engine game in like 6-18 months

Ragnarok SUCKED! Liked the first well enough for a "movie" game. There's something off about every facet of Ragnarok, the writing is too quippy/modern, combat especially the heavy attack felt worse, pacing was atrocious, and the levels/puzzles felt less interesting.

Waiting on FF7 Remake 2.

Cheap to produce

Cheap to develop albeit

You really got to give it to nintendo for the prolific amount of gay ganon femlink porn they drop with every release. Most devs just wait for the degenerate fans to do the dirty work but you can always count on nintendo to c*m through

Mario in a wedding dress receiving luigi's blessing. Canonically trans paper mario sidekick. Splatoon 3 trans rights lobby propaganda.

nothing compares to PS2 slim :\

After all these years, consolestrags are still r-slurred.

You're paying a premium for its convenient GUI. Nevermind that you can do the same on Windows with a desktop. It's the fat laziness that counts.

Where "consoles" really shine are on shitty mobile devices like Switch and your phone. People's standards really are that low. We've basically got games that play themselves; you just have to tap the screen anywhere every minute.

Glad I could clear that up for you.

You do realize it costs less to upgrade a PC than to keep buying the next new shitbox, right.

>paying 560$ for a game

Ngmi

Yeah, that last one was butt on a plate

True weeb shit. Never understood the appeal on that game. Playing a game in between watching the gayest movie ever

For whatever reason

It's because Japs don't drive and spend all their time on the

There literally isn't enough room in the average japanese house for a PS5. They'd have to choose between that or their bed

I think I heard jp is moving towards pc away from non-mobile console too? At least more than before?

I feel like if they tried to release a new or updated version of the PSP/Vita these days they'd be more successful. Most handhelds are far too big to fit in your pocket (Switch, Steamdeck, etc.) but the PSP was perfect for 30-60 minute commute sessions.
