Sony is REALLY cashing out this year

First they drop Helldivers 2 and now Ghost of Tsushima is coming to Steam? Sony’s really making some power moves!

(It took them long enough…)

Oh…niiiice. One of those few PS “exclusives” I’m actually looking forward to on PC.

Me too! I got Platinum on Ghost of Tsushima, then gave my PS4 to my younger brother back in 2021. I never ended up getting to play the Iki Island expansion, so it looks like Sony’s getting lotsa pearls from me this year!

If they REALLY were cashing out, there’s this niche little title, more of a cult classic, really. Been 9 years now. Universally beloved, but kinda obscure, by this niche little company called FromSoftware…

I hear some people even carry the game’s core symbol in their profiles for years… Must be a dedicated fanbase… Surely, it will sell. Hmmm…

(SONYYYYYYYYYYY!!!)

Wouldn’t really sell it as a win.
It’s a move of desperation. After +20 years of dunking on PC gamers and doing their damnest to exclude us from all the good stuff, they start finally folding now that most studios release multi-platform and now that Sony is losing relevance.

F*** Sony. GABEN FOREVER!

Mays… what in the take is that? Umm… ok, so - Sony has an entire PC-related division and an ongoing Live Service division, the latter of which collaborated with Arrowhead on this game that came out recently, might’ve heard of it here and there.

Aside from that, the legit info that Ghost of Tsushima will be coming to PC has been out for many months. I don’t think a Director’s Cut (heh, naming…) was in the talks, but a port - yes.

So… yeah. It’s a win.

With that said - f**k Sony. I don’t own their hardware. Nor do I appreciate their exclusives policy (read two posts above…).

It’s a revenge take because Sony has given me the middle finger during the entirety of my childhood (kid with PC that never got to have the cool things).

I will never forgive them. Screw Sony. Without Valve they wouldn’t be taking PC serious to begin with.

Оh. Well! In that case: +1!

I was the opposite :joy:

For reference, I was born in 2001 and only switched to PC fully around September of 2021. Before that, I was a little PlayStation boy. Now I’m a fully-grown PC gamer gril :sunglasses:

I’m happy that I made the change and Sony seems to have to follow me from platform to platform for their cash moneys :wink:

I have a day 1 PS5 sitting gathering dust. Just hasn’t been many exclusives for it. But when there is, they are fantastic and almost cinematic quality in story telling.

At same time the dual sense controller works great for steam.

Ghost of Tsushima

Really nice games I got. Then once done, back to steam.

Sony’s digital store pricing is hefty. It has always been cheaper to get retail discs and friends pass discs around.

Sony has this thing where you have to pay subscription just for cloud saves. At least Xbox cloud saves are free without any subscription like steam cloud saves are free.

So if you’re PS5 single player, no subscription for online. Then you have to get into routine of doing system backup via USB regularly or potentially lose save game files in case of hardware failure using their backup wizard menus.

Ghost of Tsushima has great story telling to drive it. The music, voice actors, covering adult themes of despair etc. Like a long movie. VERY good melee combat system

But you will come to see it has depth of a Ubisoft game - Go to free outpost of enemies, ride horse across empty land, repeat. It has POIs to pickup things to improve gear. Empty world, more empty than a Far Cry game.

I played it for story, so I guess that was worth it alone.

Agreed on that Ghost of Tsushima thing. I still haven’t played the Iki Island expansion and I’m mainly getting it on Steam to replay it for nostalgia and try the new expansion.

It’s not NEARLY as expensive as I thought they’d make it too, only $95 Australian for the premium edition (less than most standard edition AAA games these days)
