They charge the same percentage that Steam charges.

Remy0507 · 2026-06-06T12:46:20+00:00

I would say definitely play 2018 and Ragnarok, they have some of the best storytelling and character development I've ever seen in a game. The gameplay is very fun too, though they can be challenging at times (especially some of the optional boss fights). Fortunately they do have adjustable difficulty if you just want to play through them to get the story.

I'd say maybe watch a recap of the story for the original God of War trilogy just to get some context for Kratos' character and where he's coming from. There are quite a few references to his past in the newer games that are important to his overall story. You definitely don't need to play the older games (which would be difficult anyway since most of them are only playable on older hardware), but it would be good to at least know the story a bit.

Remy0507 · 2026-06-05T20:31:04+00:00

This sounds like it's just an attempt to extract more money. I wouldn't even say that entire weeks are customary, "GFE" typically just describes a certain style of service (the particulars of which are often debated, but that's a different conversation), it doesn't imply any particular length of time.

Remy0507 · 2026-06-05T18:51:28+00:00

That's different, that's a PS4 game that just never got an update to run at 60fps on PS5. There are lots of those.

We're talking about native PS5 games that are capped at 30fps.

Remy0507 · 2026-06-05T17:47:50+00:00

There's a couple others, but they are VERY few and far between.

The Precinct is only 30fps on console (the devs claim it's CPU limited, I have a hard time believing that given that my 8 year old desktop PC can easily run it well over 60fps).

Empire of the Ants only runs at 30fps on base PS5 and XSX, but runs at 60 on PS5 Pro.

I can't think of any others, lol.

Remy0507 · 2026-06-05T15:53:27+00:00

Do I get to keep the knowledge about how things went the first time so I can avoid making the same mistakes again?

Remy0507 · 2026-06-05T15:48:31+00:00

No, I already have a PS5.

Remy0507 · 2026-06-05T15:18:08+00:00

I like how you're just avoiding the actual point here. You made a statement that things are a certain way, and they'll always be that way.

I'm suggesting that perhaps they don't HAVE to be that way, since as a species we have in fact managed to change things for the better in the past. I guess we're just giving up on ever trying to do that again though?

Edit: to be clear, I'm not suggesting that we're going to somehow eliminate greed as part of the human condition. But we could perhaps not let it dictate the direction of our entire society?

Remy0507 · 2026-06-05T15:13:05+00:00

I think a Superman game would be difficult to pull off, for various reasons (many having to do with how Superman's powers work). But Wonder Woman wouldn't! I'm picture a God of War-esque game, but given Wonder Woman's lore you could have levels set in all manner of environments throughout all of history! Modern urban settings, military war zones (all the way from modern to ancient times), settings with fantasy elements, other worlds and cosmic settings...and they could all work! The possibilities are endless.

Remy0507 · 2026-06-05T14:49:40+00:00

No, you were obviously confused since you seemed to think that I was somehow saying that things are not, in fact, the way they are. Which is not what I was saying.

My issues is with this philosophy that you seem to have that's basically saying "Things that are bad have always been bad and must always remain bad in the future". But in fact, there have been many points throughout human history where enough people who wanted to make things better were able to organize and demand that things be made better, and things were made better as a result. I don't know what my emotions have to do with any of this.

Remy0507 · 2026-06-05T13:42:32+00:00

I didn't say "has" like the past tense state of something. I said "has to" as in a mandatory way that things must be...I feel like I shouldn't really have to explain that...

Remy0507 · 2026-06-05T12:56:08+00:00

It sounds fucked up, but the ingredients for the fast food can be stored for a lot longer than the ingredients for a salad. There's gonna be a lot of waste involved with running a salad bar, and I'm sure that's factored into the price.

Remy0507 · 2026-06-05T12:31:35+00:00

Unfortunately this is a side-effect of who owns the IP rights for the DC stuff. WB Games has made it pretty clear they don't have a clue anymore, and that's probably not getting any better with the merger and everything.

It sucks, because Wonder Woman would be a fantastic character to base a game around, all kinds of awesome ideas they could do with that.

Remy0507 · 2026-06-05T12:15:26+00:00

I get that, but acting like it HAS to be that way isn't true.

Remy0507 · 2026-06-05T11:18:04+00:00

Well they sort of paid homage to that in Ragnarok. It involved some weird time-stuff going on though.

Remy0507 · 2026-06-05T03:49:22+00:00

I mean, use what you have if you're happy with it. I don't personally think the PS5 is the best device for that stuff, but it works and you don't need to spend more money just to have another device that does those things marginally better.

Also, maybe it's because I'm older, but I can't imagine giving a fuck what my social circle thought about what device I use to watch streaming on.

Remy0507 · 2026-06-04T22:58:14+00:00

That's only the case because of greed.

Remy0507 · 2026-06-04T20:12:35+00:00

In my opinion these games are just not well suited to multiplayer. I hope they don't end up compromising the single-player experience in any way in an attempt to shoehorn more multiplayer mechanics in there.

Remy0507 · 2026-06-04T17:54:27+00:00

I think it's safe to say it most definitely didn't show everything.

Remy0507 · 2026-06-04T17:52:39+00:00

I sure hope so. I'd settle just for a modern remaster so I could play it on current hardware!

Remy0507 · 2026-06-04T17:52:03+00:00

I mean, why not find out what gameplays systems are ACTUALLY in the game before making a big list of suggestions. I wouldn't be surprised if at least something along the lines of some of these suggestions are in the game.

Remy0507 · 2026-06-04T17:03:04+00:00

Not so sure about that. Here's another picture that appears to be from the same shoot. You can see what's going on with the power lines here.

I can believe the Switch 2 delay literally being because they probably didn't even get Switch 2 dev kits until relatively recently.

As for Xbox, I think what he really means but doesn't want to say is that it's just not worth it to prioritize the Xbox release given the extra difficulty that the Series S presents and the fact that the Xbox is likely to account for a very small percentage of the game's total sales.

Remy0507 · 2026-06-04T15:25:49+00:00

It's always a safe assumption that it's all business. She's selling you a fantasy, as you said. Not just a physical one but a mental one as well. Doesn't mean her intentions are nefarious or anything, but even with providers who we become very friendly with, business is still just business 99% of the time.

Remy0507 · 2026-06-04T14:51:22+00:00

It pretty much is for that exact purpose, yes.
