OK this is getting sort of strange and kind of ridiculous. For some time now I can find PS5 consoles in major retailers here but only in 700 euro bundles with games I already have!!!!! Apparently they also sell them. Some of them have warnings that you this is a bundle and you cannot return part of it in the store. The most common one is PS5 Disk Edition + Gran Turismo 7 + Horizon FW + second controller for 700 euros.
I have all those games already. It is still "hard" to "just" buy a 400 euro digital edition or a 500 disk one. I know you could sell the games somewhere else but still you loose money and time. You also have to spend out the 700 euros though.
@belmont Yeah, the bundles can be good for new adopters to the ecosystem, but overall I find them annoying.
And if my math is correct, buying that bundle actually only saves 10 euros. Furthermore, if you consider that HFW is only 60 euros for the PS4 disk with a free upgrade to PS5, then it’s the same price as buying each component separately. Not to mention that DualSense are currently on sale right now during State of Play for €60 so it’s actually more expensive to buy all the stuff through the bundle than buying them separately — and you’d get to choose your DualSense color if you bought it yourself! 😄
But if that’s the only way you’re going to get a PS5, I guess it’s better than no PS5 at all.

@KidBoruto I’ve owned a PS5 before, but sold it due to issues with my internet. I already own games like Demon Souls and Returnal. I’ll be buying Ghostwire: Tokyo this weekend though.
My bad, I didn't know. That aside, great selection of games to choose from!
I own Forbidden West and Returnal but haven't played them yet...will buy Demon's Souls and Ghostwire: Tokyo once I've conquered more of my backlog first.
@nessisonett are those actual David Cage quotes? Like, how have I never heard of this?

@zupertramp Came out during the trial last year in the French courts. What’s rather laughable is his defence where he claimed he isn’t homophobic as he worked with Elliott Page, leaving out the part where he supervised a nude model being made without Page’s consent, leading to the exploration of a lawsuit against Quantic Dream. Page’s legal team then made a statement saying that QD’s representatives wouldn’t take part in mediation or arbitration so yes, David Cage is clearly such a friend of the gays.
@nessisonett I had no idea. Not a huge fan of QD games anyway but good to know going forward.
Feel like this really slipped under the radar. Weird.

@JohnnyShoulder All they had to do was adapt the original story of FF7 while expanding on the less-explained elements. The chapter of Remake where you go off and meet Jessie’s parents totally worked in that respect. Instead we got an overcomplicated sequel that relies on knowledge of the original game and reads like dodgy AU fanfiction. I don’t get why Nomura is allowed near anything, he overcomplicated Kingdom Hearts and now he’s set his sights on FF7.
@nessisonett It could end up being a turd. Any game technically could be, but I have my doubts given how much I enjoyed the first one. I'm sure plenty of people will love it for what it is, while others will be crying when they could just go back to the original or play something else they enjoy instead of complaining.
That comes off even harsher than intended, I know, but it's the internet and I don't think sugarcoating it really is effective. It's just aggravating to see this almost every time a beloved classic whatever gets remade and it's not exactly how the person imagined it would be, while it's a big deal for people who are willing to accept something different instead of basically calling it trash.

@KilloWertz I never played the original but I'd like to think that if I had, I would still enjoy the remake and actually get a kick out of it being its own thing. Surprises are good, no?
I think the intention was to make something that was respectful of the original game and of the fans of said game, but update it for modern times and not just on terms of graphics. Attempting to appeal to new fans as much as old and maybe this is why the remake is controversial with many gamers.
If it wasn't for a couple of chapters after the big even around chapter 12 or 13, the remake would've been a 10/10 as far as I'm concerned.
