Please don't fuck up the PC port. Please don't fuck up the PC port. Please don't fuck up the PC port. Please don't fuck up the PC port.

The first one definitely had performance issues, but aside from that it was a pretty decent port. Hopefully they learned from that.

[-] snoons@lemmy.ca 3 points 11 months ago

It was fine for me, as long as I used a controller. As soon as I started using a keyboard it would start lagging and eventually crash.

[-] thalience@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

It was pretty bad at launch, but it improved a bunch just over the time I was playing it.

Today it will be me to go on everyone's nerves with the obligatory
"When Bloodborne?

At this rate I will eventually emulate it on my PC.

[-] domi@lemmy.secnd.me 6 points 11 months ago

Every game eventually comes out for PC. Either via emulation, reverse engineering, leaks or official releases.

Whether the developer/publisher gets paid for it is up to them.

[-] BudgieMania@kbin.social 2 points 11 months ago

If I could bet a thousand eurobucks that it will be playable in some innacurate emulation form before a PC port is even announced, I would lol

[-] conciselyverbose@kbin.social 1 points 11 months ago

It's even more frustrating because the performance is such a dumpster fire on PS4.

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 months ago

Sony has also been rumored to be considering a PlayStation PC launcher

Xbox has one so I don’t see why not

[-] Phanatik@kbin.social 4 points 11 months ago

Because that's what we need on PC; more launchers, more DRM.

[-] conciselyverbose@kbin.social 1 points 11 months ago

Microsoft is still on Steam, despite having their store built in to the OS. Sony launching a store doesn't inherently mean their games will disappear from other storefronts.

What if they add it and enable cross platform for at least their games and subscription library, without abandoning Steam? There are ways it could be a positive.

[-] Phanatik@kbin.social 1 points 11 months ago

I didn't say the games would disappear. That's not my contention. I would be much angrier if that's what they were planning. It adds another layer of bs that we already have to deal with. It makes the game launch take twice as long. You now have to install another application just to play the game you bought on STEAM. It's hell on Linux systems because most launchers are garbage bloatware. I could keep going but for me, there is no positive that outweighs these negatives.

[-] conciselyverbose@kbin.social 1 points 11 months ago

Having a PlayStation store on PC doesn't imply that at all. Like I said, Microsoft's stuff just works.

Sony doesn't need to pull petty bullshit to drag people to their store. Cross purchase is plenty.

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca -1 points 11 months ago

There would be DRM anyway for these games

[-] Phanatik@kbin.social 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

That DRM is currently Steam. Adding another launcher only adds to the headache PC users have to deal with: EA, Ubisoft, Rockstar, etc. Horizon ZD currently sits on GOG without DRM. Unfortunate that it's the only one but it's possible.

Just because it exists doesn't mean we should put up with it.

People gave Larian shit for their launcher so they added a launch option to skip it. It wasn't DRM, it was an added headache and they recognised that.

I don't understand why people are willing to let companies do shit like this just because their sacred cow is on Steam. Have some goddamn principles.

Horizon ZD currently sits on GOG without DRM

You’d be forgiven for thinking otherwise considering all the comments on GOG that say it has DRM and the length of agreements you have to sign after install

[-] RickyWars@lemmy.ca 4 points 11 months ago

Here I was hoping it'll come to GOG like the Zero Dawn did

[-] Phanatik@kbin.social 1 points 11 months ago

I would've been more optimistic if the other Playstation games were on GOG but HZD stands alone over there.

[-] Sigmatics@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 months ago

early next year

missing in post title

[-] dandroid@dandroid.app 1 points 11 months ago

I'm very excited. I loved the first one and was really disappointed when Forbidden West was not announced for PC right away. I guess I got spoiled by Microsoft launching game on PC same day.

[-] MrGerrit@feddit.nl 1 points 11 months ago

Nice!

Got platinum for both games and really loved it! Such a beautiful game, glad more people get to enjoy it.

[-] lobut@lemmy.ca -1 points 11 months ago

I've already beat this on PS5, I wonder if it's worth getting for the PC as well. I think I'll enjoy the keyboard and mouse layout a bit more.

[-] snoons@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 months ago

If the port is anything like ZD, K&M won't work.

[-] lobut@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 months ago

Oh wow, I did not know that was the case. Well, that makes it a clear decision then, thanks!
