None. Worst versions for the worst price.

These days they throw discounts at you months if not weeks after release.

For Horizon I'll have to wait for the PC version anyway. I'll definitely buy Elden Ring, but not at launch.

There is no PC version of Horizon FW.

Both, I just won't platinum Horizon 2 - unless it turns out spectacular. Should be able to crush the campaign in a week and move on.

When did Sony say PS5 exclusives were coming to PC?

What, you think they ported Horizon, God of War, Uncharted and Ghost of Tsishuma to PC and then said "that's enough"?

It may not be every exclusive but the fact that Horizon 1 already made it says it all, really. It's sold well over a million copies on PC by now, you think they're gonna leave that extra audience untapped?

You listed PS4 games.
What I think or you think doesn't matter, what matters is what Sony says or announces and not a single PS5 game from them has been announced.

Elden Ring Day One. Huge Souls fan here. Platinumed everyone so far. Horizon Forbidden West looks incredible but it'll have to wait a month or two until I'm done with the first playthrough of Elden Ring. Either way, two high profile bangers in the same month. Excited as fuck!

Has Tsushima been announced? When is it releasing? Asking for a friend who’s dying to play it on PC.

Its funny because the release of these two games motivated me to get my shit together in january so I have more time to play these come february. So this month is gonna be work work work and after that I'll take some overtime.

Both games are probably going to be great.
As a side note, the demon souls remake made me interested in Elden Ring, since it was my first Soulsborne game

Unless you have a breaking news scoop showing what I said to be wrong about this.... it's a bit disingenuous to say a PC version exist.

No it isn't, they already ported the first game to PC, it's sold well over a million copies, they continued to port more games to PC, them porting the sequel eventually is a very reasonable assumption to make.

Answer me this, when people talk about the PS6, is your honest reaction "it doesn't exist because Sony haven't said it does"?

No, but the "Only on Playstation" text was removed from the Amazon listing (which is exactly how people figured out the Horizon and Days Gone ports), it was listed in one of the GeForce Now leaks, and the port's been listed on third party sites with a February release date which would coincide with the approximate time of a rumoured State of Play.

So no, no official confirmation yet, but it shouldn't be long.

You can avoid admitting you completely forgot Horizon 2 was a PS4 game and avoid answering the PS6 question I already know the answer to all you like, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure these things out.

But sure, pretend Sony ported a handful of games then stopped to justify your system purchase if you must.

I can't in good consciencness go with Horizon because I just didn't like the original game enough.

I'll get it second hand at a good mark down shortly after release.

Elden Ring is on preorder already.

I hope it doesn't feel janky after bluepoint.. but after Sekiro i have to believe FromSoftware have come of age in certain areas

I chose both because I effectively pre-ordered both as two different gifts to a friend (also to get into my friends' pool of libraries and play them myself later duh).


Though I am a bit wary of Horizon 2. After TLoU2 and Aloy's chubby face I wonder what might come of that.

I see Playstation exclusive in the link.
I see no proof in any of your posts just port begging and speculation.
Show me the money!


I am not entertaining your speculation by answering questions based on such.


Pretend eh? You keep pretending that it hasn't been anything more than older PS4 games Playstation owners got for free that been released/announced.

Both prolly. Elden Ring on PC is cheap on third-party sites instead of that shitty Sony 70/80 euro price so that will be a priority and I will prolly also get Horizon after I finish ER or I'll wait for a 25% sale like I did with Returnal, dunno, will see.

I’m stuck with a DE PS5. It came with £50 credit in the bundle, which I slapped down pre-ordering Elden Ring. This is the game to end all games. Would have bought it day one no matter what. Love GRRM, love Miyazaki.

Horizon was a solid 9/10 for me, in my top 4 of PS4 exclusives alongside GoW, Spider-Man and Bloodborne. I completed everything in the main game and the DLC, and I’ll gladly buy Horizon FW as soon as it hits £44 in its first digital sale on PSN (those were the first sale prices for DeS Remastered etc).

Horizon looked nice, and the gameplay was cool at first, but halfway through it got boring, the story let me down and in terms of progression I saw no reason to keep on playing.

GG have yet to make a fun game, but I guess pretty is more important to some people. Obviously Elden Ring for me.

Elden Ring is a definite. I feel like that game is going to be quite special, and From Software never lets me down. Horizon would've been a day one certainty for me in the past, but I just am not finding myself interested in it as I was when the first one came out. Not sure why. And with Triangle Strategy and Relayer coming out over the following month, I just don't have the time to play it. So Ill wait on that one.

Because they remove the label later when the port is in the works, which is exactly what they did with Horizon 1, Days Gone, and now GoT.

Deductive reasoning is this easy:


When you talk about "when the PS6 launches", how do you know there will be a PS6? Where's your proof? How can you say such things without official Sony confirmation?

So What No GIF

Probably both, though I prefer to dive into a souls game a little later so there's a community that has already discovered plenty of stuff. Going in completely blind, you can easily miss half the game.

Just like any other From Software game, I'll never finish Elden Ring so I'm more hyped for Horizon. But I pre-ordered both special editions.

I’d happily pay £70 for Elden Ring, it’s probably the only game that I would pay £70 For. And they are one of the only publishers charging £50. Crazy.

£35 on PC via CDKeys which is an absolute steal. Literally half what I'll pay for Horizon on PS5 and I'll probably spend twice as much time with ER.

Horizon will be straight on eBay the week after it's done, god bless physical and god bless third party key sellers.

FROM games don't really change massively between release and after patches. Maybe one or two annoying bugs, but it's not worth waiting.

Probably Elden Ring for PC if it turns out to be as good as it looks.

I want Horizon, but the PS5 issue will last a while. No chance I’m playing any PS-exclusive on inferior hardware anymore.

Wouldent waiting on Horizon be the better option considering that there will no doubt be an expansion for it sooner or later + a heavily discounted "Ubisoft game of the year" edition after that.

Good chance Elden Ring will have the same, though. FromSoft are like 4/6 on Soulsborne DLC.
