Not actually the logical equivalent because they sold the PS5 and didn't throw it in away like the proverbial banana peel...

i'm not a console gamer by trade but as a pc main the logical equivalent to me is buying a rtx 3090 to play, i dunno, through deathloop once, and then going "welp, done with that" and throwing it away, like you're the one who spent the time and money to get it did you realize you can use it for other stuff

other stuff such as getting money on the resale

not what i'd do with a ps5 by any stretch considering the time consumed in doing so, but not really that weird to me either

Well the other factor is I got a 3080 about the same time I got the PS5, so I didn't see the need for two gaming devices and I just prefer KB and mouse and mainly play FPS games. Also I spent no time looking for one, I got a pre-order from Amazon on the day of pre-orders.

It took zero effort to get the ps5, I even got 2 and sold one to a goon. Granted I did get lucky and got them right when they went on preorder at walmart and amazon.

i read that your beef is the devs said they were being faithful and seemingly weren't, ie if they'd kept their mouths shut you wouldn't be griping; do i have that right

or is your beef with the actual changes, and which ones

wasn't there one goon who kept selling his nintendo switch after he played a single game on it because he swore he just wanted to play that one and so he didn't need the switch, then rebuying one when a new game came out he wanted to play, repeating this process like 3 or 4 times

Selling a thing for more than you bought it for after you're done using it is much less psychotic than throwing away your own possessions, yes.

Again, I offered to sell it at cost in the PS5 thread (the post still exists) and ended up selling it locally for cost + $70 for the Demon's Souls disk. And I have a 3080 as a gaming thing and did not need the PS5 I got from my pre-order.

Not sure what the ??? is, I bought a PS5 to play Demon's Souls, I finished the game and sold the console.

I was making a snarky shitpost about how you've brought up the load times across multiple posts now but you interpreted that as me asking your opinions on PS5 load times in general and somehow that led to you saying you don't know anything about those, except clearly you have really strong opinions about the load times vis a vis Demon's Souls so ????

Rusty posted:

Did you play it on the PS5? Did you play it on the PS3? I have a real hard time believing you played both and were not blown away by the PS5 version, but it's subjective of course, but it was literally the same game with a better framerate and looked a lot better. The original was so bland looking not becuase of design decisions, but because it was on the PS3.

The PS5 version obviously looks better in a technical sense and at no point did I insinuate otherwise. I can't stress enough that my issues are down to specific choices Bluepoint made, and particularly in contrast to specific things Bluepoint said, none of which were a blanket statement about the overall quality of the remake.

(Though tbqh you're really barking up the wrong tree either way because I care very little about raw graphical prowess.)

((Also I strongly disagree with it being "literally the same game" and also that the original was bland looking to begin with and secondly that it looked that way because it was on the PS3 and no other reason.))

I mean, both. But mostly the first thing. I literally said as much in one of my posts lol.

No poo poo it was a snarky post, so was mine and it caused this huge controversy because I chose not to keep a consumer electronics device. I think since you haven't played it though you would not understand how much of a difference the loading makes for this one specific game which I have been trying to get across and you keep blowing off.

I care about raw power simply because framerates matter and the PS3 game was held back by that and awful textures. It makes a huge difference in a souls game.

I did think your first post was funny though, I did chuckle. I just would not have played anything else on it so I wanted to help someone else out and get my money back.

As I recall, it was even more explicit than that - the announcement trailer they first put up had an end card that said "coming to PS5 and PC" and they almost immediately pulled it down and replaced it with one that didn't have the PC part. Unless I'm mixing that up with some other game.

Yeah the trailer accidentally announced a PC version, then it also showed up in the GFN leak

They will technically have control of one or more characters during the combat encounters, so either advise them loudly or put it at the default difficulty and let them do whatever.

All this chat made me boot up the game again and I decided to try out the Walking Lunch difficulty and holy poo poo, is that kicking my rear end.

I had a lot of fun playing wildermyth with a friend, although we both enjoyed the combat. It's probably still worth playing a campaign or two for the story.
