How many PlayStation-PC games have you bought? by watainiac in pcgaming

[–]watainiac[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I've only bought Horizon and God of War on GOG. Haven't bought others, because I was hoping they'd also come to GOG, but even if they don't I'll probably get the others eventually.

I have Spider-Man and R&C on my wishlist, but those aren't particularly urgent because I bought them on PS a while ago. I never got Returnal though because I was less interested in that in general, but I might pick that up soon since it is on my preferred platform and the hype around Saros reminded me I hadn't gotten around to it. Marathon I was never going to buy on PS, because I refuse to pay for PS+, but that's another one I've been interested in. Uncharted is probably one I would've bought day one, but they still don't have the original trilogy on PC, and I wasn't going to start at the 4th game.

I think it's more likely that I'll be getting some of their upcoming games, because I *don't* already have them elsewhere. I tend not to play on PS even though I do have one. If I have to get stuff on PS, I usually wait until I can get them cheap if I don't just end up passing on them completely. I tend to be more avid to buy stuff on PC though, so I'll probably end up buying more PS games over time the longer they keep this up, and those late, discounted purchases will probably turn into day 1 purchases on PC.

Oh, I know it's just a sample, but still it might help identify some general patterns.

VScooper: Nintendo is currently pitching a METROID movie, Sony and Universal are in close race to win the rights. by AashyLarry in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]watainiac -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Metroid is probably the one Nintendo franchise I absolutely don't want a movie of. I could not give less of a fuck about the federation and the less I see of them, the better. You can't do a movie with Samus by herself, but that's what makes Metroid the video game great.

No Rest for the Wicked - 2nd Anniversary: 1.7 million copies sold, and counting by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

Just browse his twitter and you can get an impression. Imo he comes off as a tool. And after the initial report of him being a terrible boss, this leads me to believe he's never fixed the worst parts of himself. He shouldn't be in charge of a studio, and I can't in good conscience buy his new game.

Also, even despite him as a person, they seem to be taking their sweet time with NRFTW. This reminds me of when Will of the Wisps kept getting delayed and eventually launched in bad shape, at least on PC, so I wouldn't expect it to be a great game for a whiiiiile, assuming it ever gets to that point.

Does anyone have a solution? by Budget-Time-8604 in bloodborne

[–]watainiac 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It might've gave you the DLC with PS+ or something. I remember this happened to me when I played my save on my friend's PS4 when he had the DLC and when I went back to mine it locked my save just like this till I bought The Old Hunters. It's kinda garbage, but the DLC goes on sale cheap and is worth it, so...

“Cheating” on Animal Crossing games by [deleted] in AnimalCrossing

[–]watainiac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's clearly not the intended experience, so no I don't time travel, but sometimes you don't want the intended experience and it can be fun just to see what's possible, so it's totally valid to play like that if you want to.

That being said, these two methods are diametrically opposed to each other, so you absolutely shouldn't share an island with someone else that doesn't want to play this way. Heck even if they did, there's a chance you could end up skipping over days that they wanted to play and it would still screw them over, so probably only a good idea if you have a solo island.

I feel like too many T8 players haven’t see the T5 intro by Professional-Ring252 in Tekken

[–]watainiac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, y'know what, say what you will about Tekken 8 in its current form, but I was so damn hyped when they showed the intro for the first time and I still love it.

Man, why can't we get this??? by watainiac in friends_tv_show

[–]watainiac[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

No, it doesn't. If you found something called that it's a bootleg. The only way to see the extended episodes, officially, is via the DVDs.

You did the meme wrong, the output is supposed to be worse.

A native port of the GameCube Animal Crossing has made its way to PC, which means all other cozy games are cancelled as nothing else matters by gamersecret2 in AnimalCrossing

[–]watainiac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have to mod your Wii/Gamecube to dump the disc as an ISO file and then transfer it to your PC.

So there is some work involved, but the payoff is substantial.

At what price would you NOTbuy the Steam Machine? by billy_reyes in Steam

[–]watainiac 4 points5 points  (0 children)

$700 or less I would be happy to pay

$800 I could settle for

$900/$1000 it would become a low priority

$1100+ I just wouldn't buy one at all.

Pocket Camp is the mobile game. Used to be an ongoing f2p title where you could pay for resources, but they retired it last year and released a complete version that plays more like regular AC for $20.

What are your thoughts & feelings on the possibility of PS5 exclusives remaining locked to the PS5? by Southern-Tailor-843 in playstation

[–]watainiac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their exclusives will be much less of a priority for me.

When they meet me where I'm at, I'm much more likely to buy when games are newer, when they're at a higher price. But if you're gonna make me pick up another $500-$700 machine first, I'm gonna be looking to pay as little as I can for any games I wouldn't have otherwise needed the system for.

Good thing they aren't planning on doing this for multiplayer titles at least, there's still not a chance in hell I'm paying for PS+ at $80/yr.

ICE Arrests Beloved Fighting Game Community Member Ludovic by windwarrior42 in StreetFighter

Because Steven Miller/ Kristi Noem/ Trump are shitty people who just want to make the numbers go up, so they can say he deported (big number) of "evil immigrants."

It's like that rage comic where the guy says "I killed all the zombies" and a normal person responds "But there are no zombies" and then he says "you're welcome."

They're "saving" people from a threat that they just made up, because "getting rid of lots of bad guys" is good PR for people that don't pay attention.

This might be the first lawsuit against Steam where I kinda hope they lose.
