In 2021, a number of hit PlayStation exclusives were released by different studios, and there was enough of a variety to please almost all gamers.
Ghost of Tsushima is being negatively reviewed on Steam due to its forced PSN requirements similar to Helldivers 2.
I don't know why sony would want people to sign into their service as if sony ownS the game.
They're review bombing because PSN is required to play multiplayer.
Unlike some sites have claimed, it's not a launcher, it's just an overlay.
It's a bizarre thing to review bomb over since anyone can play it the single player game without it.
It's a single player game. The MP is bonus material.
I know it’s not like every other company requires people to sign into their account. S:
Yes just because all other companies require you to log in doesn’t mean PlayStation should be allowed to do the same.
thats a weird thing to say. if all the others require you to do it, why should they not be allowed to?
how about we dont make it a requirement, period?
You keep saying this. But research first maybe. Most company's have wide reach so they are pretty much everywhere, psn has like a 62 country reach, so it's alienate all the other countries that doesn't have psn access...
Sony made the mistake of requiring a login for their service like EA, Take2, Microsoft, Rockstar, and more and by being named Sony.
I'd be more supportive of this drive to push back against secondary logins if people were actually criticizing the biggest offenders out there. But this is just controversy for Sony, not for the plethora of other companies.

Why can't you just recognize this as a step forward, why because it's Sony everyone need to prove their loyalty to the cause first before they attack them, Sony always needs to come last for you
Because they immediately stopped at Sony. I wholeheartedly support the movement, but gamers aren't moving forward with it. And that's why I'm rolling my eyes at gamers who think they're fighting the good fight. They're not. Just pounding chests and letting the worse offenders get away.
Were you living under a rock when it was reported that PSN is only available in a limited amount of countries? Compared to the other companies which greatly support more countries.
Because of Sony's requirement, their games like Helldivers 2 and Ghost of Tsushima have been delisted in over 170 countries. These restrictions would not have been in place if Sony didn't suddenly mandate those logins.
According to Steam, Sony, and Arrowhead, HD2 and GoT is available in 73 countries.
There are 195 countries on Earth.
Christopher is definitely aware of that situation, he's acting like Will Smith when he slapped Chris Rock right now, performing selective outrage.
That's a stupid reason to be upset about. It doesn't affect you so stop crying. It is sonys decision to handle their games the way they want to. If it's not available in certain countries it's not because they don't want to sell there, it's because there are laws in place that prevent them from currently selling there. That is none of your business and entirely sonys business.
You don't think they want to sell more? They're eventually going to do it so stop your nonsensical crying about stuff that doesnt affect you.
Hey Sony, At this point either make it an option or don't release your games on PC
I mean they review bomb all they want it still the #1 selling game at the moment on steam. Its best for Sony to stick it out and let the login normalize it. If those pc user really wanted to play there games like they said they did at one point. They'll comply with the login and stop being a B* about it and stop using the Sony hack 20 years ago as an excuse to not want a psn account. Matterfact just heard the game is already being pirated. This is the reason why there should be something to stop them or make it hard for them.
The review bombing is childish behavior and it’s only serving to undermine the “review” system in the end. If you don’t like something, don’t buy it. It’s okay. You don’t have to go out of your way to sling mud and burn down couches in the street to express your displeasure.
How about this… if I create a product, I am allowed to sell it the way I want to sell it. Sony’s not requiring a login just because they want to be funny or to piss people off. They are establishing an ecosystem and there is rationale, some known and some unknown to us, for why they would want to do it. If a consumer does not agree, they have the option of not buying the product. Seems like a fair situation.
Here’s what you need to know about the Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut PC release time, including a countdown and gameplay details.
Sucker Punch’s massive samurai adventure Ghost of Tsushima has come under fire because of the PSN requirement. However, unlike Helldivers 2, things are a lot different and more logical this time.
"Sony has made it clear long before its release that the PSN requirement is strictly for the online multi-player Legends mode in Ghost of Tsushima and the PlayStation overlay. Online connection or PSN is not applied to the single-player campaign, which is honestly what the game is all about."
Legends clearly was based around using the pan they hardly want to have to design a whole new account structure just to play it, that's alot of effort and work. Ultimately people kicked up a fuss despite there being workarounds in most of those territories that people with a ps console have used over there for literally like 15/16 years. This is the consequence of that, be careful what you wish for or demand because you don't necessarily get to pick the method by which you get it.
This game is not Helldivers 2. Every game doesn’t need to be Call of Duty. I may or may not play one minute of the online component. I’m buying it solely for the story/campaign. Sony needs to integrate it better but Microsoft does the same with Xbox live account. It’s an ecosystem they will always want to tie into the console audience and frankly don’t know why this is such a big deal.
It is because the PC isn't a console and shouldn't be tied to the same restrictions the console gamers are. If Sony wants PC gamers to buy their games they will need to learn what I and many others will accept.
Trying to harvest our personal details for any of their games on PC will not fly.
If Pc gamers want to play Sony games on their PC they will need to have a PSN account. It's not that difficult, people just like to cry on the Internet.
Or they can keep the games exclusive and you can keep dreaming about god of war Ragnarok on PC. Sony under no obligation to release on PC. You don’t like it don’t play it. I pick my battles in life.
I want to play it for single player and if I want to try legends I am willing to log into my PSN account. What’s the big deal anyway? If I want to play a rockstar game from steam I still have to have a different launcher and account other that launcher and same goes for UBI. On PC we have so many store front anyway what’s another log in. BTW the way we the pc gamers reacted to HD2 will only mean Sony will make it clear before launch that their online is only available with PSN account
Rift Apart and Deathloop were great - finished both. Returnal I really liked, but wouldn't say I loved. Not really into the super hero stuff or demon souls stuff so didn't get into any of that.
Good, not great.
I would only consider it “great” when taking into account how early we are in the ps5 lifecycle.
I wonder if 2022 will be “great”. I think we need something besides Horizon 2, GoW 2, and a racing game to break that threshold (I couldn’t care less about GT7. It’s a tech demo for me.).
2 solid exclusives within a yeah certainly appeases me, but it doesn’t impress me.
I guess it was okay. Am still waiting for a current gen fighting game.
Not really, it was just ok. 2022 on the other hand....
I mean its normal that the first year of a consoles not great.
R&C was an amazing peak into what "next gen" could be, and i haven't been that anxious to get back to a game for a long time. Sucks tho cause everything else seems to be back peddling into cross gen territory putting "next gen" essentially on hiatus. I'm sure the games will still be great, just not fully taking advantage of what these new consoles can do
