So...here’s the thing about the exclusives. With consoles, you have to buy the hardware, and the games need to be coded uniquely for each console. Also, you’ve got a (relatively) captive set of customers. No HW, no game. While they suck, exclusives make sense in this space. With PC, a computer is a computer. Every PC…

Maybe closer to BtoW2? Who knows.

They’re about in 2, but they don’t really do anything. Lore wise they’re giant assholes and nuisances though.

eesh. For me, it’s mostly hiring people do things for me (house repairs, etc.) I imagine it’s even worse for a manager/business owner.

You’re not wrong there. Almost no one teaches personal responsibility these days. It’s super frustrating. (I suspect we’re about the same age TBH) Might sound dumb, but I hate hiring anybody to do anything for me, because I can’t expect the job to get done correctly the first time anymore.

IDK, my dad co-signed on my first car. It brought the interest down significantly, and also helped get my credit rolling. That said, a lot of it depends on the person and situation. I made all my payments and was responsible, but it was also only about a $7k loan and it was still a fairly high interest rate at the…

Sure, but it was frustrating being halfway up a large cliff and having to wait it out. You can fight against it, but it’s just a waste of resources. It really depended what you were doing 

Eh, the difference is the rain literally just kept your from climbing, which is a major way of getting around the world. It was generally more irritating and a time waster than a fun mechanic. I loved BotW and the rain is about my only gripe with it. Maybe if the climbing gear let you ignore it or something, but it…

Ironically, the ex wife and I were pretty interested in one for her back around 2015/16, until they axed the manual on the higher trims.

That’s my thought too. Also, nothing says they can’t release DLC down the road to expand it (free or otherwise, though free would be preferred)

That’s fine. Aside from FF and maybe Death Stranding, what has been announced that’s PS4 exclusive? I haven’t seen anything interesting to me, and if it’s mutliplat I’m most likely going to get it on PC.

Such as?

Not really. I have a PS4, but since I also have a PC, there haven’t really been many compelling games for it in the last several years (for me anyway). Their presentations have been pretty mediocre for some time.

Sony hasn’t had a good presentation in YEARS.

Really? The animation is kinda turning me off. Has that janky flash game animation I can’t stand (somewhat). Otherwise, it’s very pretty.

Haha, I long ago decided it's not worth arguing over the internet (much) and accepted that others have different opinions than I.

Well, major reason I’ve seen is the buying exclusives. Combo with sketchy security and backing, and a store/platform missing many standard features and you’ve got a mess.

Go for it. As long as you’re happy that’s all that really matters. My issue isn’t the price. It’s a combo of their business practices, lax security, primary investor, and poor interface. As such, no money to that store.

To be fair, the best way to express your opinion is to vote with your money. I don’t like the epic store for various reasons, so I don’t spend money there. That said, this does look like an interesting game.

Awesome. One of my favorites and the first Anime I actually bought.
