PSN account required for Ghost of Tushima Legends on PC (only mp). |UP| on Steam will be unavailable in countries without PSN.

[xollowsob]

Same difference.

Crazy how petty some PC gamers are.

Won’t buy a game cause they need to create an account.

Honestly you can’t make it up.

I won't buy games for a shit ton of reasons. Any 2fa required, personal ID, double sign in or any other bullshit and I won't play the game.

Personally, I have principles when it comes to gaming and how I spend my time in general. If I don't agree with some bullshit, I'll play another game, and there are thousands on my backlog spanning decades.

I have a PS4 for GoT. Though not having to sign in for the single player is A OK

100% focus should be on the console and VR.

Lol why won't you play a game that has 2fa?

It's their to decrease the chance of someone getting into your account.

I don't think Sony should waste time with mobile games either. Successful mobile games are the complete opposite of successful PlayStation games, it's not worth compromising your vision just to make a few extra bucks. 100% focus should be on the console and VR. Things like PC, cloud, and mobile sound good in theory, but are just a pipe dream, there's no such thing as infinite growth.

The mobile games big in Japan are gacha junk, I'd rather not see Sony go down that road.

Agreed. I'm not a PS gamer but if I were, I would want the company from which I bought a console to focus on said console, not other markets, PC, or whatever.

But talking now as the real me who isn't a PS gamer: Sony simply, in my opinion, wants to make more money by selling in more than one place. I can't prove or deny whether that affects the quality of games being made as some people seem to think. but to them, it's just business.

Sonys most successful game is on mobile.

If money is what they want then Mobile is a perfect market to complement console.

No I won't. I will not give any company or corporation my phone number unless absolutely necessary. I certainly won't do it for gaming, emails, software etc.

Imagine believing handing over more data keeps you safe. Have hacks and data leaks stopped since 2fa was introduced to services? No.

 

[Wing84]

The whining about this topic (outside of the negligence from Sony where they forgot that some of their PC customers aren't in PSN regions) is such artificial bullshit. Just don't buy Sony's games in the future and ask Steam for a refund. But that's not going to happen. The whiners actually like to whine and suck Gabe's toes (playfully and metaphorically speaking) lol.

Such a sophisticated answer...

Now, to further enrich your knowledge of Gaben. You cannot refund a game after two weeks and 2 hours of playtime. a PSN account requirement only now became real, months and hundreds of hours later for the average player. I hope you understand the situation better.

Also: "I won't change anything about my decision! In the future don't buy our games" Yeah, that's a wise business strategy.

Oh brother. Watch in about a week (likely less than that) and all the fake outrage will have found a new target to whine about.

The only thing i hope happens is Sony finds a way to properly serve those impacted due to region support.

2fa will absolutely make it harder for someone to hack you.

Many 2fa options don't even need a phone number. You can use passkey or an authenticator app.

When's the last time a SIE studio actually said something about something they're working on for the PS5?

Oh damn, it's really been that long, huh? Hmm ...

It's almost like they're saving up announcements for an event of some sort...

the last new single player game announcement was in 2021 All we've been hearing about the last few years is PC and gaas

 

[rofif]

Good. Now make them pay for online lol

 

[thicc_girls_are_teh_best]

It's almost like that didn't stop them from having a mediocre Showcase in 2023

Hell the "event" you're talking about hasn't even been officially confirmed. We may not even get it this year...

Besides if they have to hold back console-related announcements to upsell a PS5 Pro, maybe they should look into their production pipeline and ask why they don't have enough new 1P games, or substantial console-side QOL/feature improvements, to have semi-regular announcements throughout the year?

the last new single player game announcement was in 2021 All we've been hearing about the last few years is PC and gaas

Meanwhile tho...

Sony Corp to Sony Pictures: "HERE! TAKE THIS $13 BILLION AND SPEND, SPEND, SPEND!!!"

If you're mainly in it for games and want to see a lot of cool new 1P reveals and big investments for 1P & genuine 3P (not simple 3-month moneyhat) exclusives, it's been slowly turning into a circus with SIE feels like.

 

[Nhomnhom]

Sony should dump PC and focus on mobile.

It’s a bigger market than PC and doesn’t compete nor will it affect their console business.

Also will help Sony get some market share in Japan since they don’t have a handheld.

Depends on how they do it, getting too involved in mobile game could have a very negative impact on game design, the mobile audience sucks and will accept anything no matter how abusive.

When it comes to Sony It feels like 3 or 4 PC news for every console related news (usually about a GaaS). Whatever, I don't even care that much anymore, if they don't value their console business that is their problem.

 

[Muddasar]

Maybe have some small mobile dedicated studios making small budget games using existing franchises.

Currently they only have Neon Kai.

Would have been better acquiring a couple more mobile studios than acquiring Nixxes and Valkyrie.

Last thing you want is the likes of ND, Insomniac developing mobile games too after the GaaS development fiasco we have seen.

 

[Entropi]

Oh no! Evil $ony doing what no other publisher does or has ever done before.

 

[Say1nMan]

Today has provided a good laugh seeing PC losers getting roasted on social for their whining. Keep’em PSN login coming Sony.

 

[Yurinka]

At least they said so right away.

Well, Helldivers 2 mentioned it in all their trailers.

I don't think Sony should waste time with mobile games either.

Maybe have some small mobile dedicated studios making small budget games using existing franchises.

SIE mentioned multiple times that they also have plans to expand to mobile gaming too, and that have been making and that will make deals with important mobile gaming developers or small buotique devs to help them adapt their IPs to mobile gaming. They even created a dedicated subsidiary and bought Neon Koi. They are also working on bringing PS cloud gaming to mobile.

They have deals with companies like Tencent, Netease, Nexxon, Kadokawa+CyGames, Akatsuki+Koei Tecmo or MiHoyo.

After their big expansion to GaaS/MP and PC, they'll also have a big expansion to mobile.

This game would've done great on PC with Denuvo

It won't do great, even with Denuvo,

The game is already doing it great, apparently is the fastest selling Sony ever by far. It has 490K Steam user reviews, vs 114K in HZD or 129K in GoW 2018.

the last new single player game announcement was in 2021 All we've been hearing about the last few years is PC and gaas

As I remember the most recent new game announcement was Physint (ignoring MLB or Until Dawn remake).

maybe they should look into their production pipeline and ask why they don't have enough new 1P games,

Why do you act as if Spider-Man 2, TLOU Remaster, FFVII Rebirth, Granblue Fantasy Relink, Helldivers 2, Rise of the Ronin, MLB or Stellar Blade didn't exist? Or the upcoming Destiny 2 The Final Shape, Lost Soul Aside, Convallaria, Silent Hill 2, Until Dawn remake, Concord, Death Stranding 2, Wolverine, etc?

When's the last time a SIE studio actually said something about something they're working on for the PS5?

As I remember in the last month or so they said things about Stellar Blade, Rise of the Ronin, Destiny 2 The Final Shape and new Helldivers 2 content.

Plus outside PS, about the Ghost of Tsushima PC port.
