@Th3solution I have family that live in America and I've been over a few times and attended a few live games of Basketball, NFL and Baseball and I enjoy the American culture as a whole. Yeah I do play madden I have 20 but both 19 and 20 weren't very good in my honest opinion and where basically like for like except for roster changes. I have really gone of EA sports games as a whole to be totally honest, I was a fifa and cod only player from about 2012 till 2016/17 when a friend of mine lent me the Nathan Drake Collection. I'm ranting on now so I'll stop there before I give you my whole gaming history 🤣.
@Arugula You are right that's why it's down to personal opinion, finances being one of those factors, although they will be people who can afford it and think its not worth the money and they will also be people who can't afford it but believe it is worth the money.
It ultimately comes down to what you enjoy personally I believe £70 for any franchise game that you can get 500+ hours from is well worth it though I do believe the cash cow for companies has them believing they don't need to put maximum effort into developing the next title(Not all but most).This is for alot of people where the problem is with these types of games not that the price is to high but that for the price your gonna pay your basically getting a game you've just played for the last year. That's why especially with sports titles I try to skip a few years just so I feel like I'm seeing enough of a upgrade to make the switch worthwhile. I played COD for years the last being WWII which I still play sometimes now when I feel like it and I paid £45 on the day it was released and I believe that was excellent value for money when I consider the time and enjoyment got from it.
I don’t like this whole argument of ‘the console’s expensive so you should be able to afford games’. I saved for months for the PS5 so I really don’t want to be spending just over 1/6th of the price of that console for one single game.
@nessisonett Nor me, I was the same when the PS4 came out and didn't have much disposal income left to spend on video games. Luckily I eventually traded in my 360 and games for a fair bit of CEX store credit which kept me going until I had saved up some more.
Personally I have no issues with the 70 quid price tag, it is just that this year there ain't a great deal that screams out to me to be a day one purchase. That would be the same whether the price is 40, 50 or 60 quid though. Last year a few titles did so ended buying em on day one, the previous year not so much. And I rarely pay full rrp either, if you shop around you get a few quid off, or use the shopto/CD keys trick to get cheaper psn store credit. Or just wait, prices will soon come down. The start of a new gen though, prices do tend to hold a bit longer than they do normally.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
A bit of a clique on this thread. Not sure what's so outrageous about the idea that if you afford the hardware then you should also be able to afford the software as well.
I'd prefer to pay as little as possible for a brand new game but often I'm happy to wait a few months or more upon release and eventually get it lower than RRP. Some games I can't wait for and as these often happen to big AAA titles I feel confident that I'll be getting my money's worth.
I feel more worried about the trend towards digital than the price of a brand new game. With physical, third parties will over reductions quicker than on digital and then there's the second hand market. With digital the control is completely with Sony and we'll be totally reliant on their generosity.
The game saves auto saves very regularly @Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy, and I always had a load of manual saves too, so you shouldn't lose too much progress. How are the load times on PS4? The game did crash a fair few times on me (at one point it was threes times in a 2-3 hour play time), but because of the speedy SSD in the PS5 I didn't mind too much.

Just had a lovely encounter in FIFA 21 where I got slaughtered 5-0 despite hitting the post 4 times and the bar twice. The guy messaged me basically saying bad luck, the score line didn’t reflect the game and he’d had fun playing against me. I basically said that I hadn’t played a FIFA game in years, he’d beaten me fair and square but I would have liked a goal or two as consolation. The guy then proceeded to give me a few tips. Not often this happens playing games online to be honest. Makes a change from last night where some self-titled ‘Youtubers’ messaged me calling me slurs because I wouldn’t quit after going a few goals down.
@RogerRoger on the ps5 you can actually commend good players now, you can give them badges like good sport, or helpful player ect and the commendations build that players overall score, its just superficial by the looks of it but its a decent step in the right direction.
@TraCuz- I'm glad to hear that there's more final fantasy awesomeness to come because I've been loving it so far!
I really enjoyed the motor bike sequence and chapter 4 in general as it was a whole new part added to the game. I'm also really enjoying getting to know the avalanche secondary characters alot better they get alot more screen time and I think it makes the story as whole seem more.....Human for want of a better word. I feel even after only 4 and a bit chapter's played I also like Cloud so much better he seems alot more fleshed out and even though he's as blunt as he is in the original he's got alot more personality so I'm excited to see where that goes. Also I was surprised in how early Sephiroth was introduced in the game but I actually quite liked it. Just really enjoying the whole game the combat is slick and refreshing. The one negative which to me really isn't a negative because graphics don't bother me at all and for the most part they are amazing but I can see the perfectionists complaint about it the background graphics are really plain and blurry sometimes even in cutscenes sometimes characters hands are like ps2 graphics lol like I say has no effect on my enjoyment of the game because I'm loving it but can see it affecting it for some people who expect a certain level of graphics.
@MaulTsir Without wanting to sound like a broken record on this topic, I think the combat really comes into its own on Hard mode as it forces you to switch characters, think more about your materia load out, and make best use of all your characters’ abilities and rely less on magic.
I enjoyed me first run through the game but the second one really elevated it for me.
@MaulTsir Yo man awesome insight into the game, it seems its impacting as much as it did me. Chapter 4 was one that stole my heart too. I think it's because I went in with little to no expectations for this game and they just completely blew me away. The combat is some the best I've ever played, and the cinematography is masterful. Do we even have to bring up the music? Keep me updated in your playthrough!

Started playing Ratchet & Clank. I've never gotten into the series on previous attempts but I figured it was worth another shot for such a popular and well reviewed game. Tastes do change after all.
I started a new game Plus of GoT, and it's pretty solid. I decided to use English voices this time so that was a bit jarring to start with (but the lips will sync now. For a game that made a big deal out of it's B&W Japanese cinema mode, the lack of lip-syncing for playing in Japanese was just embarrassing. It hurt so much sometimes to see). I like how some of the charms are just fun or make the game harder. I haven't had a challenge yet, but I also just liberated one area. I'm hoping that NG+ Lethal+ with keep me on my toes and give a good challenge. I'll use some charms to help with that if need be.
@RogerRoger
Thanks! I'm about 3 hours into it so far and it's a lot of fun. It does a much better job than the last one I played of keeping things interesting.
