Looking forward to this

 

[dEvAnGeL]

cdkeys day 1 here we go!

 

[BennyBlanco]

Isn't this old "news"
Wouldn't have anything to do with last night's GTA VI thread would it?

1. Everyone knows Rockstar’s MO by now. PC release later to bait double dippers.
2. Way to inadvertently admit this steam page triggers you.

 

[Bkdk]

If there is a aloy looks overhaul mod then I might buy it on deep sale.

 

[Pejo]

Neat. I'm gonna mod Aloy to be somewhat attractive and remove all the UHD raytraced facial hair and ResetEra can't stop me.

 

[Lillie]

PC won, except for GTA 6

 

[bender]

I'd like to offer my condolences to PC Gamers everywhere.

 

[FearlessBelgian]

Is the game worth it ? Not too much woke shit in it ?

 

[Kilau]

I loved the game but Sony had to go there in the DLC so I’m done with the series.

 

[drotahorror]

You’re right of course but I find it difficult. It’s difficult both to stay away from the console version to play the PC version later and to play on consoles first and then stay away from the PC version later. I’ve double dipped many times. It’s frustrating.
Currently staying away from FF16, SM2. It’s hard. Will try to stay away from GTA6 on console. It’ll suck.

It can be annoying for sure. My plan with GoW:R was to buy physically, beat it fast as possible, sell on ebay. Then amazon delayed my order so I caved and bought it digitally due to impatience and I never even beat the game. Since HZD was on PC, I figured FW would be coming so I never went for it.

With GTA6, I do believe I'll preorder and beat it and then sell it. Then just wait for PC version. R* got me triple dipping on GTAV last time.

Cheaper? It's going to launch at full price and you'll have to wait at least 6-9 months before the price of the PC version drops below the lowest price of the PS5 version.

Looks like it's only $60 for PS5. Why would it not launch at $60 for PC? And I guarantee CDKeys and other sites will have it for $45 and under for pre-order. The only time I buy something full price is when I buy it on Steam. That is rare.

 

[Krappadizzle]

Alright, this can come out so Ghost of Tsushima can come out right?

 

[ShadowkillXNA]

Finally a non handicapped experience again.

You'll be playing it with the same brain you would have played it with on the ps5.
So, no still a handicapped experience for you.

 

[Husky]

Nice, I liked the first one.

 

[mckmas8808]

Who's making this port?

 

[Krappadizzle]

Who's making this port?

Hopefully Bluepoint.

I’ve been all digital since 10 years back, when I double dip I literally buy the game twice, means $160 per game at my area. I want to say I’m done with this, no more PS versions, but I know I’ll cave in when it’s something truly great. I wish Sony would at least have some standards on how long the delays may be but we get no hints. TLOUP2 is still not out but Ratchet and Returnal is already out.

 

[PixelatedBeast]

Isnt Horizon an RPG? In an RPG you're given choices. Horizon gives you dialogue choices to choose, as well as in the DLC as well. So there really isnt any "going there", unless thats what you choose. Lots of people are choosing to "go there" and acting like its forced.

 

[Nickolaidas]

Meh where is demons soul

Holy shit, THIS.

Yea have plenty of legit double dips as well. RDR2 was one, digital on ps4 then on PC. I triple dipped HZD, bought digitally day 1, bought the physical complete, then bought on PC too.

It's a problem.

If Ghosts of Tsushima comes out on PC, that will be a triple dip as well.

 

[amigastar]

I still have Horizon Zero Dawn in my Steam Library. Never played it honestly.

 

[Midn1ght]

Good. Now give us the game PC truly deserves and wants.

 

[Revolutionary]

I didn't love this game but I didn't hate it either. I'll pick it up on sale to play around in 60fps and with all settings cranked up. Also mods.

 

[nowhat]

If/when you do, just a protip: the starting area is a chore/bore, do the tutorials and all that, but once you're ready, GTFO. You can clear the rest of the markers on the map later on if you're so inclined, but the game really starts/opens up once you reach that-one-location-beyond-the-desert. Also when it comes to gear, there are only three levels of each weapon (this is much improved in Forbidden West) - there's really no point getting the mid-tier gear, just wait later until all the vendors have the top level gear.

 

[VinnyMac]

The game wasn't as good as the first it was good don't get me wrong but honestly felt like an expansion. I'm glad pc players get to play it tho it's definitely still worth a playthrough

 

[Darkness_Arises]

Currently playing through HZD on the Steam Deck. I will be double dipping for HFW, if it runs acceptably on the Deck. The portability and the fact that you can change the field of view makes it worth it. I do not know why these games have such low unchangeable FoV on the PS4. It is absolutely claustrophobic and has a huge negative impact on gameplay. I wouldn't mind giving up stable 30 fps just to go from 70 degrees to 90 degrees FoV.

That's gonna be a tall order! maybe streaming is the way forward on that one

 

[Moses85]

Visually stunning game but boring as hell.

Hopefully their next game is a Killzone

 

[Tomi]

Just in time
I have only ultra hard left to complete in hzd

 

[Senua]

Hopefully but I think they'll just milk Horizon into the ground, it's a big success for them. Like TLoU with ND

 

[ResilientBanana]

Thats not everyone though. I will say that, as someone with a 7900xt PC, the PS5 version is really impressive. Don’t crap on it just because “lol console suxxxxx”

Yeah im skipping Horizon as well. Got the platinum on PS5 but im good with one playthrough. GoW Ragnarok on the other hand is day 1 on PC.

The PS5 version looks great, but PC won’t be limited.

 

[mayham2199]

I enjoyed Shadowfall a lot. I almost dropped the game because it seemed like a typical FPS game but then the story popped off and I loved it. So whatever they do next I'm ok with. There's still at least one more game left for Horizon based on the story but if they retire the series after that I'm ok with that. I typically don't like any series to go beyond 3 games. Yakuza games are the only ones who have been able to maintain my interest in the series with so many titles.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

GOW Ragnarok will come in 2024 too. Similar to their big titles going PC, two year gap is the trend lately. So Q4 2024 for Ragnarok.

 

[Gameplay Gods Bless]

what handicap? it looks amazing on PS5

Super Mario Sunshine looks amazing on Gamecube, doesn't mean it couldn't have looked and ran better if it was on PC.

 

[Gameplay Gods Bless]

How do you all handle these late PC releases?
Already bought it on PS5, enjoyed it but stopped playing when Elden Ring released and never got around to start it again.
Now they’re going to get me to buy it again if it’s updated on PC. Sigh

Easy I don't play them on PS5, same with Switch. I play switch games at 8k 60fps on PC, why would I waste my time buying a game twice to just to play the inferior version first, too many good games available to play right now, there's no rush.

 

[Gameplay Gods Bless]

Will be the best looking game on the platform, and the best looking thing until GTA6 on PS5PRO

GTA6 trailer doesn't even beat cyberpunk RT let alone path tracing and cyberpunk was on last gen.

 

[Represent.]

GTA6 destroys Cyberpunk based off what we saw in that trailer alone.

The GTA6 trailer is a collection of cutscenes, in engine or not we don’t know how it looks during gameplay yet.

 

[rofif]

Good. Now give us the game PC truly deserves and wants.

But you have a ps5 don’t you?
The game is 4k60 already.

 

[Balducci30]

Is there any possibility they’ll add like path tracing to this game? The one thing that stood out as bad to me was the lighting and pop in

 

[Midn1ght]

But you have a ps5 don’t you?

I don't.
Almost bit the bullet during Black Friday for FFVII but resisted the urge.
Will probably wait for the PC version like I always do.

 

[Gameplay Gods Bless]

No it doesn't. Even the Digital Foundry analysis said as much, it has some better things like character models but many things are worse like for example the RT Reflections and I'm talking about launch Cyberpunk RT not Path traced Cyberpunk and certainly not the recently updated version with Restir, Path Traced Cyberpunk is a next gen (PS5) game as current gen consoles don't have anywhere near the power to run it.

 

[Zathalus]

And it is. Missing pixels, frames, better controllers support, 21:9 or more, mods, less lag, etc as I already pointed.

Most PC players would be able to play this at least FPS, less pixels, and more lag then the PS5 would. Not to mention that a tiny, tiny portion of PC gamers use 21:9 or better and the mods for this game would basically amount to nude skins and shitty reshades. By your criteria the vast majority of PC gamers would play an even more handicapped version of this game.

Sure, if you have a 3080 or better you are getting that better experience, but that amounts to 10% of PC gamers. So by your logic, most of PC gaming is handicapped which is obviously silly.

 

[Aces High]

If there is a aloy looks overhaul mod then I might buy it on deep sale.

 

[Terenty]

No thanks, you can keep it

 

[sendit]

Lay off the crack. GTA6 shits on Cyberpunk.

 

[DenchDeckard]

So, the wait will then be Ghost of tsushima, GOW Ragnarok and demons souls.

I think we will be caught up then, right?

 

[nemiroff]

I don't understand why people are into these games, they seem contrived, boring and with a faux pas art direction. But I might be the one in the wrong here, who knows..

 

[SJRB]

I can’t believe they’re doing this first instead of Ghost of Tsushima.

Ridiculous.

 

[GrayChild]

Who's making this port?

Nixxes.

 

[SmokedMeat]

I’m going to have to watch some FW reviews now. Hopefully it’s not as boring as the first game.
