It is a shame to see Assassins Creed 2 in the top ten. I guess PC gamers have spoken and they have said "I don't mind having a mandatory connection to a server whilst I play a single player game". I miss the old days when PC gamers actually had some cojones.

RagTagBnd4455164d ago

The problem is that we do not approve the DRM but we really want to play the game, it is an evil circle than cannot be broken.

Charmers5164d ago

Naturally it was a life or death matter if people didn't get to play Assassins Creed 2 wasn't it ? People that bought this game have now sent a clear message to publishers and developers. That message is simply "yes we will buy games with this invasive DRM so bring it on".

A simple bit of restraint and we could've had Assassins Creed 2 with no DRM but no people just couldn't control themselves. Now thanks to all those that bought Assassins Creed 2 we can expect within the year nearly ALL single player games to feature a protection system like this.

raztad5164d ago

I remember the fuss about No having Dedicated Servers on MW2, still the game was on top for quite a while.

Is it still in the top 10 best sellers?

Some people just want to play the game, regardless "minor details".

Revvin5164d ago

I remember the boycott groups on Steam, all standing up for PC gamers so they said. Easy to say before the release but afterwards when you looked at the groups and what games the members of those groups were playing it showed a large percentage had forgotten all about the boycott. Its unbelievable such a buggy and poorly play balanced game can still sell so well.

You do know it is ubisoft right? If the game had not sold on PC they would just say: every pc gamer is a pirate, we stop making pc games. Ubisoft would rather stop making pc games, than making less DRM, trust me.

Charmers5164d ago

I would personally preferred that outcome rather than the outcome we are faced with now. The way Ubisoft treats the PC I don't want a publisher/developer that behaves like Ubisoft on the PC. However they did a nice big bold experiment in DRM and now you can bet your life other publishers will be hopping on board.

So if it was a choice between losing Ubisoft or losing my ability to play single player games without internet access I know which route I would prefer to go.

RagTagBnd4455164d ago

Activision did try to raise the price of pc games with MW2, how did that turned out? Stores selling it at low prices anyways, and no other company have tried something similar.

I think most companies will not do this, instead they are going for a solution like Steam, where some singleplayer games are forced on steam.

jy_mrnd5163d ago

I hate DRM but i only play games on PC.I loved the first assassin creed so i had no chocie but to buy the second one on steam.

Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising - Reality Bites Hard

Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising launched back in 2009, bringing the realistic military operations to console for the first time.

Jingsing12d ago

Seeing as EA now own this franchise wouldn't it make sense for DICE to develop a new Operation Flashpoint game? Battlefield has realism to a certain extent but it isn't exactly "real"

While there’s likely already a list behind closed doors, one can still speculate and offer logical suggestions for titles new and old that should find their way into the PlayStation and Switch libraries.

Single A games and live service games. Those make sense

S2Killinit48d ago

None of it makes sense. But its happening.

Ps5conehead48d ago

That’s up to Microsoft they want return on there investment. From buying up those publishers. That’s what there in business for. And they made a mistake putting day one exclusive on game pass. So now Microsoft wants to profit any way they can.its called buisness . Just like Sony putting games on pc a year are two after ps5 launch.
So if they can make money off PlayStation and Nintendo. They will do that. And I bet soon real soon they will release some aaa exclusives .and I bet one day it will be same day release

TheEroica48d ago

Sony gamers begging for Xbox games.... Who would've thunk it?

BISHOP-BRASIL48d ago

Yeah, because random site off the internet represents all Sony gamers, they have the letter of attorney and all...

S2Killinit48d ago

Lol what a spin. You dizzy?

AsunaYuukiTheFlash47d ago (Edited 47d ago )

We don’t care about shovelwares. Get that junk out of PS5

StormSnooper47d ago

More like MS begging to put their games on PlayStation.

TheEroica46d ago

Keep begging Sony gamers!

Friendlygamer48d ago

Some of these seem to be exclusive for lack of enthusiasm of the publisher rather than because of deals. A lot of cool indies skip ps for some reason like katana zero, el paso, elsewhere and gunbrela

S2Killinit48d ago

Even more indies skip xbox. We know that right?

Friendlygamer48d ago

Quality over quantity, Microsoft got some really interesting and curated niche games on their machines, maybe in part because of gamepass

S2Killinit48d ago

Quality and MS are not things you bring up in same sentence.

shinoff218348d ago (Edited 48d ago )

Alot of indies skip xbox to. It goes round and round. Personally I think your off base on that but no need to have the argument.

Friendlygamer48d ago

Between katana zero, valheim, Battletech, el passo... I don't feel off base. maybe ps got a million of light novel games that will never release on Xbox but like I've said, I'm talking about niche games highlights, the 10%.

  Heck, it's probably thanks to Microsoft that the s.t.a.l.k.e.r games came to console ps included, meanwhile Sony backwards compatibility continues to be extremely anemic.

And I'm sure most ps5 users are happy to ignore these games and just play wathever new 3rd person action game is trending but it's cool that Microsoft gives some love to smaller audiences and software preservation

shinoff218348d ago

Again your off base just to be snide. All it's showing though is your ignorance.

One light novels wtf is that even. Ps has plenty of pretty damn good indies.

Speaking of indies and ms being responsible. You know F.I.S.T. of course you do alot of you guys just support gamepass. Well here's a history of Sony being responsible for helping indies. Look up the China project from Sony.

Lastly lol your ignorance showing again. Sony has plenty of games. Personally third person is better then first anyway but that's besides the point. Sony gets so many games that xbox doesn't get because yall don't support the games. Jrpgs being a great example. I personally am not into every Sony first party game. Alot of us aren't. On the other side you don't get to eat often so you gobble up everything. Me personally God of War not my cup, etc. For me I'm into jrpgs and ms just can't touch Sony on those. Again because the Xbox base doesn't support it. Devs dont wanna waste their time or money. Hit me up when falcom develops a game over there.

Speaking of third person narrative games. Aren't yall drooling over hellblade 2. The first one was Sony exclusive at one point. Another not my cup game. Showing we don't have to fall in line and agree we love everything Sony puts out. The facts are they sell though unlike elsewhere(not nintendo)

StormSnooper47d ago

You are same person as GamerRN, yes?

Abnor_Mal48d ago

They really think PlayStation fans would want to play Redfall? Pfft.

Personally nothing on that list would be any game I’d want to play.

TwoPicklesGood48d ago

I’d absolutely love Hellblade 2, Palworld, and Quantum Break on ps5 as I’m sure tons of others would too. There’s nothing wrong with wanting games from another console and its sad that people try to act like they aren’t interested in them.

shinoff218348d ago

While indont agree with the games. I agree with the point. Your not wrong.

DarXyde48d ago

Sunset Overdrive makes very good sense. Palworld might.

Don't know about the others. Hellblade II does make sense given the original launched on PS4 first. Quantum Break was a massive letdown for me. I absolutely hated the whole TV show thing and I don't think anyone should have to relive that on modern hardware.

I just started playing Spec op. I've had it for years on steam and forgot about it. Such a good game.

EvertonFC71d ago (Edited 71d ago )

Fantastic game,.so underated

Cacabunga71d ago

Yes great game spec ops! Since the time we’ve been asking sony to make one:/

Auto Modelista.. a PS2 capcom racer!! A blast to play and great graphics!
Maximo!
Rival Schools!

LordoftheCritics71d ago

Spec Ops: The Line was super dark.

Incredible story.

SheenuTheLegend70d ago

all the games in the above list are bang on. this is the only reason we need backwards compatibility and physical presense of games for the upcoming future, no matter what.

Yi-Long71d ago

Honorable mention to the excellent Driveclub, one of the best racing games of all-time and one of my favourite games ever.

melons71d ago

yes! incredible rain effects; so good to drive along in rain with your Spotify playlist blaring

Skuletor71d ago

I really wanted a MotorStorm using the same engine, Driveclub is easily one of the best looking games on PS4 and I'm surprised they didn't even give it a PS4 Pro patch.

ravens5270d ago

Yes indeed. May just install it on my PS5. You know, physical copy and all.

monkey60270d ago

I adored Driveclub and the Bike expansion. I also loved Motorstorm. Evolution shutting down was a crime

Outrun Online Arcade, Sega Rally Online Arcade, After Burner Climax... all good stuff. I keep my 360 hooked up to play these as well as the TMNT games that were also delisted.

Skuletor71d ago

I have quite a few of these. Timed licenses suck.

Terry_B70d ago (Edited 70d ago )

wow...I have all of them except the Nintendo ones either in physical or digital version.

Also..Deadpool the Game is missing on that list.
