dotSlashGaming counts down the top 5 games to play if you wanna get away.
From school politics to ping-pong, pistols to police procedurals, let’s dive into the best that Rockstar has to offer.
It looks like FSR 3.1 implementation is now a reality, allowing for DLSS and FSR 3 frame generation at the same time in Ghost of Tsushima.
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:
They are doing it because if Xbox creates a PC hybrid console they want a way to prevent them from accessing their games.
Sony own's the IP, Sucker Punch is Sony's first party developer. So yeah, they own the game whether you like it or not.
@inurfoxhole
Ghost of Tsushima released as a single player game. The MP was added later.
MP is available in 73 countries.
MP is not 1/4 of the game. It's closer to 1/50.
Careful! You don't want to take Sony to task in a chat filled with corporate shilling Sony fans... God forbid we call out obvious bull from our favorite plastic box overlord....
@TheEroica, only childish brats whine about such things or the occupy Wallstreet crowd such as yourself, lol. Its always laughable seeing westerners claim to be against "corporations " when the entire population across western civilization is steeped in corporate culture/product use.
I reported it as Old and gave that exact reason because the claims were outdated.
My report was removed.
I don't think I have ever agreed with anything you've said, but on this issue we're on the same page.
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...
As far as I understand at the technical level is to have the cross play features active between pure PSN and new Steam users, as the developers explained: "Legends co-op multiplayer mode requiring Windows to access PlayStation Network integrated features". I have purchased played and finished this game and its dlc on Playstation together with each and every exclusive and I can wholeheartly say that this is a fantastic game with amazing esploration, combat story graphics and ALL which includes a fantastic and unique multiplayer mode. Whining back at a company which is actually bringing innovation and a pletora of great games for everybody to enjoy is a bit lame and shows a bit of immaturity in my modest opinion. NOT buying this game because people do not want to sign up for PSN is a great loss in terms of enjoyment and pure discovery of a great game,
Yeah, i don't get either. If the game were to require online to play a single player game then by all means, yes we need to call them out. But a multiplayer requiring a psn connection for online gaming isn't much is it?
I'm asking for those that have a problem with it. Like what exactly is the problem here(i don't game on pc btw)
And aren't we required to sign on psn on ps anyway?
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.
@Magatsuhi
"It doesn't impact you so screw everyone else you may know that it does impact."
Cause nobody has friends or family in other countries. They can't enjoy a game with online coop all because Sony, ineptly with limited network range and poor planning, wants to artificially boost their PSN numbers to impress shareholders.
Those people should have just been born in a different country(/sarc) despite this wasn't a legal problem before rather always a lacking infrastructure on Sony's end that Steam's larger network circumvented.
@Magatsuhi
I'm definitely a Playstation fan, but I'm gonna call you right the fuck out.
"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."
I'm sorry, but I'm gonna need to see receipts on this claim. What laws? I'm not familiar with Japanese law so hey maybe you are correct, but I really feel as if you just made that whole statement up just to....defend a corporation. Please Show me. Because holy shit there is corporate simping but this feels past that more like "yes more daddy yes i'll do ops whenever you want uwu"
***Christopher is definitely aware of that situation, he's acting like Will Smith when he slapped Chris Rock right now, performing selective outrage. ***
The lack of awareness is amazing. I'm the one being performative while I can't get achievements in Mass Effect LE because EA app login requirements break Steam features.
Here, let me rephrase this for people who lack reading comprehension:
"HEY, GAMERS! Can you take this motivation to go after shit login needs and go after EA, Ubisoft, Take2, Rockstar, and more? Can we not just focus on one company that started what others have been doing for years, some for over a decade?
Thanks, me, Christopher"
When you realize that most people's internet anger is governed by what their favorite influencers/YouTubers tell them to be mad about and not by principles, it makes a lot more sense when they don't act with any level of consistency.
It's not just the recent anger at Sony over the PSN requirements, you see this all the time. People who happily play multiplayer-only games will join a dogpile on an upcoming game for lacking a "campaign" if the internet tells them to be mad about that. Similarly, people who are fine with certain games being digital only will swear they'll never buy a different game that is digital only (you saw a lot of this recently with Alan Wake 2).
@Jeece, yep. I hate the outrage culture in gaming. A bunch of phony's grandstanding about issues none of these dopes really care about.
Idk I've been against digital only since it was a thing. Still against it and won't be buying Alan wake 2. I think that particular situation is some of us being legit pissed.
@Christopher
Why do you completely keep ignoring PSN is only available in a more limited amount of places?
Why don't you understand that HD:2 was sold to people then taken away after they paid?
Why don't you understand that you sound ridiculous, and sound like a child...look, look, they are doing it so I can too mentally...you ever heard the saying '2 wrongs don't make a right"? Talk about Sony like you do every other companies, instead you deflect to other companies...the people that are complaining are obviously Sony fans or fans of Sony games, that want to play Sony games on PC, this shit got nothing to do with any other company...they don't like Sony doing it, you know, the company that is a cut above the rest, why can't you see that?
Again, screw MS, Ubisoft, EA or anyone else, Sony fan don't want Sony to do this, people that want to spend money on Sony games, you know the #1 gaming company in the world, they shouldn't stoop to a practice that YOU, yourself said is not good...you should be upset, not pointing at other companies.
Your post are not even saying Sony is fucked up for anything, but saying people should go after other companies...it just comes off as so damn fanboy. It's becoming harder and harder for you to hide bro.
It wasn't taken away, get real. They're just not selling anymore copies in those regions. People who have already bought the game will continue to play it as there is no psn login requirement.
*** Why do you completely keep ignoring PSN is only available in a more limited amount of places? ***
I'm not.
*** Why don't you understand that HD:2 was sold to people then taken away after they paid? ***
I do. And I'm happy they reversed their decision. I also understand that those people who bought it at release were asked to login to their PSN account, but it was disabled until they could fix whatever they needed fixing.
***Why don't you understand that you sound ridiculous, and sound like a child***
Yes. I'm the one who sounds like a child. Considering absolutely nothing you brought up is to do with Ghost of Tsushima. I'm also the one calling other people children rather than having an argument relevant to the comment to which I'm replying.
***Talk about Sony like you do every other companies***
Sony has shit first party support for the last year and no news on what's coming up. Third party support is a crutch that they don't deserve praise for. Sony's decision to focus on GaaS is dumb. Sony shouldn't have layed anyone off since the decisions affecting them were the fault of Jim Ryan and not because they failed to create what they were asked to do.
All things I've said about Sony recently.
***Your post are not even saying Sony is fucked up for anything, but saying people should go after other companies.***
You need to read more of my posts. You have no clue about me other than the posts you choose to reply to.
Idc either way but it is confusing as to why people ain't using the same energy for ea, ubisoft, Ms, etc. Sony certainly should find a way for people everywhere to play. Whatever reason psn isn't available in said countries. The more the merrier
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.
They are allowed to sell it the way they want… We are allowed tk not buy it…
But you know what the consumer is allowed to do in case they didnt like it as well? To make a negative review, and that is a fair situation…
And its not being review bombed anyways, its sitting at very positive.
Just Cause 2 is my personal favourite. A massive, beautiful tropical island.
