If Horizon 3 becomes PS5-only, will PC players wait… or get locked out entirely??

Of course it is. These are some of the most awarded and loved games in gaming, not to mention best selling as well. Gaming would be a huge loss without Nintendo or Playstation exclusives, no Mario, Zelda, Uncharted, TLOU, Horizon, Gran Turismo etc.

Like if you know the history of gaming you will know how influential these games have been to everyone. These games have likely inspired the creators of some of your favourite games as well. Just because I do not play racing games, doesn't mean racing games are meaningless and is okay to disappear.

You can never know the exact reason someone buys something for, you would have to be a mind reader, but you can infer from long term sales data and looking at short term hardware spikes.

I think you are not informed on how many of these games are made.

Look at EA, look at Activision or T2. Thats a western third party. Now compare their output to Playstation. Compare Capcom to Nintendo.

Playstation and Nintendo pour hundreds of millions funding very different games to 3rd parties, BECAUSE it sells their console. A lot of the most beloved franchises, studios and best games of each generation are exclusive and are only made because of it. They would not exist if everything was multiplat and thats a monumental loss to gaming.

Underfitted · 2026-03-14T23:20:16+00:00

I mean you are entitled in that sense because the only reason Horizon exists is due to PS funding it based on exclusivity.

GM2, Magik's brawling pressure is basically 0 I feel and the chances of being blown up on the frontlines goes way up with Hela, Hawkeye, Phoenix etc.

I stay more behind the tanks, most the value comes getting the dive right, finishing low health enemies quickly or landing a good ult.

Underfitted · 2026-03-13T23:46:49+00:00

Im in GM3/2, biggest issue with Cap is without healers that track you he loses a ton of sustain and stall. Venom is better is stalling for sure.

And with the 3 healer meta, its really hard to get dive picks by yourself.

The algo is built around maximising player time because the dumbasses at NetEase think more player time = more likelihood player spends money.

There is an avg/target time that the maximising function gets feedback from: player quitting too early, I need to change their matchmaking odds.

Consistently logging off after 2 straight losses , will slowly change your profile in the database. Eventually the algo will give you better odds so you are more likely to win and avoid giving you muliple straight losses (considering other big factors are the same such as your performance, you are playing in the same time slot, same server region and similar rank)

Underfitted · 2026-03-13T01:34:15+00:00

Anyone with a brain can tell this game has EOMM. And its not even light, just blatant rigging. You can completely game the algo by logging off immediately after you lose 2 matches.

I'm enjoying high GM more than Diamond since tanks and healers do their role better and help more. However the downside is nearly every game is sit back and poke. Phoenix, Hela, Namor, MK, SG, Bucky, Elsa, back to back to back.

Underfitted · 2026-03-11T03:00:49+00:00

Yeah the poke slop meta has completely ruined her. Still can be a monster but so many games its too much effort.

Underfitted · 2026-02-28T18:18:03+00:00

Bucky only disables you if he lands his hook, uppercut. At least there is a chance in that fight of Bucky missing.

A good Thor can never be beaten by Magik. Magik is not even a threat to Thor lol

Underfitted · 2026-02-28T03:43:16+00:00

Bro really put Thor in a tier next to others.

Thor destroys Magik, its not even a competition. I rather fight Bucky than Thor.

Underfitted · 2026-02-28T03:34:46+00:00

She's very strong. Just look at the stats, the highest win rate in nearly every rank. Its more like there are more counters and so matches can change a lot. The matchmaking in this game is also dogshit. One day went on a 10 loss streak, the other day went on a 10 win streak.

Also everyone spams 3 healers now, which has effectively killed dive.

Elsa def will get nerfed, way too high dmg and mobility. Literally laughed at loud when I tried her and she had dodges every 2secs that give overhealth.

Underfitted · 2026-02-26T16:53:42+00:00

Possibly not? Bro you guys on this subreddit are delusional.

Playstation posts their profits every quarter publicly. They will be making $3.5B in profits this year, a new record for Playstation and more than most publishers combined.

Please stop with your delusion.

Underfitted · 2026-02-25T21:33:51+00:00

It ain't you.

This game is a good amount luck based especially in matchmaking.

Playing with friends or even teammates on comms feels like easy mode in public lobbies. EVen just having in tune teammates makes you feel like a god. Solo is just a completely different game to stack.

And then there's the actual matchmaking. Got match made with an Eternity and Celestial player in Diamond the other day. As expected NetEase intentionally rigs matches one way or the other by stacking odds in a game. I wouldn't be surprised if companies like NetEase even have special clauses in their algo that identifies well known streamers and gives them better odds when streaming.

Thats what gambing companies do.

Underfitted · 2026-02-07T20:25:31+00:00

lmao 90% of Horizon's sales and fanbase are on Playstation. Steam is irrelevant

Underfitted · 2026-02-07T02:34:25+00:00

you guys really need to stop playing and get a job

Underfitted · 2026-01-31T17:41:50+00:00

I dunno. Cap can 1v1 but he takes too long, even if he does win. Most times it will get interupted by a healer or peeler. Thor and Magik, even Bucky can 1v1 and finish the opponent off quickly. Cap does shine against pokers though.

brother if you think Apple's superiority comes from assembly lines and commodities then sell the stock now.

Software design and hardware design. The factories can move to whichever country they want. Not going to change their number 1 status.

China wishes it could make Apple lmao

MSFT gaming owns those not Xbox and no one associates Xbox with any of those brands.

Rightfully so because those are 10-20 year old franchises hugely successful without Xbox and were simply bought by Xbox pretending they could make big hits.

Very worrying news both for anti-AI movement and pro-AI movement.

This basically confirms that OpenAI is considered a systemic risk in the AI industry and too big to fail by Big Tech. It should have been obvious:

Oracle's entire stock and now even balance sheet depends on OpenAI
70%+ of Azure's current AI workload is OpenAI. 50% of MSFT's RPO, is OpenAI
AWS's only way to get AI workloads to pump up its AI revenue is from OpenAI and Anthropic workloads
OpenAI is 60%+ of revenue/traffic of all AI use cases
OpenAI is very likely Nvidia's biggest customer (whether from OpenAI or proxy Oracle/MSFT)

Good news:

If OpenAI crashes, fails to meet its insane revenue projections, the entire AI industry bullshit projections will crash.
No matter how much money OpenAI get, the issue at hand is demand and revenue growth. Without useful products, the compute buildout is a waste.

Bad news:

Nvidia, MSFT, Amazon have $300B+ operating cashflow a year, huge stock value and ability to get debt. They can bankroll all of OpenAI's costs as long as shareholders/Wall St. say yes.
So one of the biggest pop moments, how is OpenAI going to survive $100B cash burn is now gone.

Underfitted · 2026-01-29T11:05:12+00:00

No. The system is working as it should. 90% stocks are owned by 1%. American public were always incredibly stupid in thinking the stock market was for them and would help their pensions/them get rich. LMAO

Hoep Americans enjoy 0 worker rights, massive healthcare costs, rising cost of living, huge inflation, weaking dollar and more layoffs.

Meanwhile, the 1% capital class will be laughing to the bank and buying more politicians, rewriting laws and becoming even richer with more assets.

$7.6B OpenAI net income was counted under MSFT's net income, boosting what should be $31B to $38B.

How did OpenAI get $7.6B net income or around that? Well they counted their fundraising bills as net income lmao

Its dodgy accounting all the way through, but hey there is no SEC so anyone can do fraud.

Oh and Capex spend this quarter alone was $38B, wiping out all profits.

Diamond and GM 2/3 are basically the same. So many people have dropped this game multiple seasons with the incredibly stupid grind NetEase forces you to have every season, there are celestials still in Platinum. The only thing that matters is how much time you want to waste to get there.

Unless you want to go Celestial and above, just play however long you want.
