Review bombings happen at launch. Horizon, even BOTW, was in the red at launch, but more positive reviews organically posted over time.
Ah right. BOTW and HZD released close to each other. Well, I'm not sure it's fair to blame PC palyers here. While maybe a factor, dismissing Nintendo vs Sony fans is unreasonable.

The game is higher on EGS than Steam for me though, $5 difference.

Seems like they're still not done updating the prices.
I think the initial price on Steam was a bit lower too.

The entire rollout is a disaster starting with the fact that the game was overpriced in some regions to begin with.

nah , they are just waiting for EGS folks to "fix it" after the weekend , like they upped in on steam after idiots whined
Damn, they decided to punish everyone? Nice job Hulst.

Lmao, seems like Sony really wants EGS to happen. The price on Steam is 2800 while EGS is at 1099 rubles. No way I'm paying almost 3 grands for a 3 years old game.
Nah, some folks already told you, while you have access to everything on steam as a dev (prices included) on EGS all that works manually so prices have to be changed manually by the team itself, so yeah, weekend and 4th of July? no one at that building xd
Damn, they decided to punish everyone? Nice job Hulst.
Yup, some folks fucked the entire world, as always, living in economically better countries and yet "MY ARGENTINAN FRIEND" or talking about VPNs, seriously, all cunts.

Man, the combat of Watch Dogs is underappreciated. I love toying with the enemies by controlling doors, forklifts and all sorts of stuff just to make them scared as shit. Then, when they spread out for searching, I just sneak around and pop their heads one-by-one with the silence pistol. If I see two enemies in a group, I usually intentionally kill the guy on the back but left the guy at the front alive just to hear their "wa!" when they turn around and suddenly find a deadbody on their back. Sometimes I also leave explosives on deadbody to blow up enemies who come close and check up.

Aiden Pearce, what a psychopath.

I lost 2k points today. Pretty weird.
I lost 500 to 1k points. I remember sitting at over 9000 points, and I am not at 8.5k points. No refund to explain this.

I don't see what could be wrong though in the point history, everything looks fine.

Yeah same, the point history is the same as always. And there isnt an expiration on the points so not sure what it is.

Sony Defence Force trying to damage control that the price hike is justified is hilarious. Come on people, you're better than that.
You can't justify a price hike for poorer regions. you just can't.

Also funny to read some reactions like that when game is 10 to 7€ on PS4 on sale, but whatever, console war yada yada

By the way, Horizon still holding number 1 global top seller in terms of revenue in the middle of a SUMMER sale is fucking nuts, today the weekly top 10 seller list will get updated, if it debuts at number 5 or higher, expect crazy numbers like Persona 4 Golden did, in just 48 hours. :cat-heart-blob:

Will be interesting to check the numbers once it's released alongside the CCU.

Horizon is going to be so eye opening for Sony, it isn't even funny.

Microsoft has realised that PC gamers were either ignoring their games, or buying their hardware and only turning it on once in a blue moon (and not subsidising the hardware cost via third party games and subscriptions) is leaving money on the table.

And I really hope the fanboys don't think the sky is falling forever as a result of this. Sony wouldn't be doing it if they felt it would hurt them, but obviously that doesn't take into consideration the emotions they've invested into their little (or not so little these days) plastic boxes.

Played through Depanneur Nocturne yesterday. It's a very short game about shopping for your loved one but it still managed to blow away my expectations. It's set in Montreal and the way it handles being both in French and English at the same time is done in a way I don't think I've seen before in a video game. As usual with walking sims you get to explore a bit within the confines of the shop and there's a bunch of dialogue with the clerk so it's nothing really out of the ordinary for the genre but it's very well executed and gives back for what you put into it for sure. If you like walking sims and have half an hour give it a try, getting all the achievements will probably double the playtime.

Yep. Some people really think that it's fair to pay one tenth (or more) of your monthly salary for a video game. And if you can't afford it, well, find another hobby.

What's the cheapest way to buy a legit win10 key ? Just toying with the idea of a secondary PC for my mom, won't be soon I'm afraid given the circumstances.

If you are a student, you should look into getting a Windows 10 Education license.
Just need to check if your schools is supported

Do you guys know if they fixed Resonance Of Fate performance? I remember it had stutter/fps drops everytime a combat turn began and at the start of battles

It really is crazy to me that at such a high price, even with the threefold hike this is still top seller. I'm a bit unhappy at it but overall I'm hoping that it will show the industry that exclusivity of any kind is utter bullshit.

I used to say SoftwareGeeks was great but they've been bought out, rebranded as Unitysoft or some crap and put their prices up a bit. They are OEM keys but i've never had a problem with them. Don't know what UnitySoft are like now, haven't used them.

Buy Windows 10 Professional genuine license keys with Lifetime Validity - £19.99

So apparently the new thing from PS only folks when a PS exclusive hits top spot on Steam global best seller is "it's based on revenue so doesn't mean anything".

I expect a lot of stuff like that when other PS exclusives hits PC.

"Bloodborne only had 300k concurrent players day 1 so only 300k bought the game".

I don't see how people can be so rabidly loyal to a corporation? It's not like Sony are going to say "Well done defending us, have a job!". It's bewildering how bad it gets at times and how some people have built their persona around gushing at multi-million dollar international corporations of all types.

Well done, whiners, well done.

I have my doubts, especially with PC now also becoming a (one-sided) battleground for exclusivity deals, but hopefully! The PC market is a rich vein for ports of console games.

I agree. At the end of the day the reality is that it's a place filled to the brim with people who want nothing more than play good games.

I'm not sure what is really bringing Sony here other than perhaps a knee-jerk reaction to Microsoft making their exclusives available as well.

Finished D4: Dark Dreams Don't Die. That was probably even weirder and quirkier than Deadly Premonition.
Shame that it ends before it even really starts though.
Would be cool if the rumors about Deadly Premonition 2 also being a stealth sequel to D4 turn out to be true.

I hope DP2 comes to PC at some point like Travis Strikes Again and Daemon X Machina before it.

It's definitely a rough diamond. I love it and i have it both physical and digital on a couple of the platforms and i backed the board game on Kickstarter.
It's a great bonkers story with great characters and a ton of odd design decisions with a healthy serving of "almost broken".

Swery is like Yoko Taro in that their games have great, mad stories, personality and atmosphere but the gameplay is borderline broken as fuck in places.
Love 'em both.
