PS4 Version of Snarky Xbox Shooter High on Life Found Loitering in PlayStation Backend

Thought it was crap when i tried it out.

From what I've seen of the game, the humor is hit-or-miss depending on how peeps like that Rick and Morty style of humor, and the gunplay/combat is really stale in comparison to most fps games.

I kinda want to play it because redlettermedia, oneyplays etc are in it but i dont think i could put up Justin Roiland doing slight variations of his Morty voice for hours just for that.

A low-quality game which is only suitable for a sub model like game pass. Does anyone want to pay for this on PS?

Add this to another game Xbox would never pay to make it exclusive for its platform because they don't want to take games away from the gamers

To stay on topic, I hope it comes to Playstation. I want to play it.

@JAMes-BroWWWn and there are people saying Xbox has no games… crazy. Also, going all the way back to 2015?

I thought High on Life was a fun game. I completed it but didn’t mop up the last couple of achievements. But it depends on your sense of humour. It’s pretty messed up!

This makes me very happy. Was really wanting this to come to Playstation.

@Anke Just not my kind of humour in it.

The game was found on PSN backend. It would also be found on PSN frontend, but Sony is busy trying to figure out how to get that to work along with other PSN web page features.

This was my most disappointing game of last year. I was really looking forward to it. I like Rick & Morty and I’ve enjoyed pretty much all the other games the Squanch have made.

The gameplay just wasn’t fun, I think I hit about 5 hours in and never went back. I felt like I was forcing myself to play through it.

Is this the game that everybody praised for it's dialogue while simultaneously ripping Forspoken a new one?

@JAMes-BroWWWn most of those are timed exclusives

@Sekijo I enjoyed Rick and Morty but the community ruined it for me.

It's OK at best very repetitive and quite a few achievements didn't unlock for me and i had to redo multiple parts of the game due to bugs blocking progress and that was after it had been fixed apparently.

@Anke Haha im pretty sure the guns in this game talk and they dont shut up lol

@JAMes-BroWWWn PuBG?

High on Life is a fun game. The humor can be hit or miss. J.B. Smoove is great as the voice of one of the guns. Overall I really liked it.

@JAMes-BroWWWn Ark 2 and Powerwash Simulator

I'm looking forward to playing this

@Toot1st That Xbox touts as being exclusive. Say what you want about Playstation, but at the very least they're transparent about how long a game is timed for.

@AverageGamer Yup. That was timed for a long while before coming to PS. Cuphead was a 3 year timed exclusive. Nothing wrong with these timed deals, in my opinion, but at least say it's timed.

@Czar_Khastik

I never seen anyone as hatefull as you towards a brand it's kinda sad.

@Flaming_Kaiser First of all, I'm not hateful, I'm being CzarKhastik. What would be the point of hanging out on this site if I hate Sony/PS? I'm an avid PS collector, but I also like to point out everything wrong with the current state of the industry.

On the other hand, I am a software developer in real life which is why I'm commenting on the PSN web shop itself. It was released in a messy state and regarding its current state: I have seen better web pages from my local shops. Sony is a professional international company which charges a lot for its software/games. It would be nice if the user experience is on par with the prices we pay for their products.

If you disagree, fine by me, we're already offtopic, but please try to stay objective. If something has a fancy brand logo on it and is charged a big buck, it doesn't mean it's in good shape and that people should not comment on its faults.

I found this game to be a lot of fun, but anyone jumping in needs to know what they are going into. It's not only the humor (if you hate Rick and Morty, you wont like this game) but also the fact that its not a "first person shooter".

This game is closer to a Metroid Prime inspired game than a refined shooter. It's focus is mostly on exploration, finding upgrades, traversal, means to unlock paths via special weapons, etc. It's shooting gameplay is below average, but as a 3D metroidvania, it has a bit of meat on its bones.

@Rafie I don’t think you can count PuBG as the only reason it was “exclusive” was due MS allowing early access games on the platform and Sony did not. PuBG came to PS4 during it full release less than 4 month later.

Great game, really enjoyed. Will be a great play for PS gamers if it comes.

I can never decide whether Rick & Morty is the dumbest smart show ever, or the smartest dumb show ever.

But I imagine this game will just be the dumb part of the humour. Which is okay with me, for short bursts, anyway. I'd play it if it came on PS Plus or deep sale, I reckon.

@JAMes-BroWWWn
"To stay on topic..."

You say, after massively attempting to derail the conversation.

I loved high on life.

Especially when chatting to an NPC and he stopped halfway through a sentence to tell me he was sorry for peeing his pants. If that's not your humour, don't play it. If you don't mind it, the games great.

I enjoyed it on Game Pass.

I would definitely play it again on PS5.

@Khayl The trophy lists have now synced online too, and confirm a PS5 version. 😉

@Rafie I will say about Playstation that they are also not transparent. Especially with extensions to their timed deals. Occasionally an advert will say *exclusive for 2 years, but it’s not that often.

@Sekijo Microsoft approached the devs of Valheim & essentially payed for it's console development. Just like how Sony helped finance Final Fantasy 16 but that's OK.

@Czar_Khastik No. ignore that man. your comments are hilarious (and insightful). I come here just for your stuff.

I'd cautiously recommend this for anyone on game pass, but for me, im not sure I'd buy it. The shooting mechanics felt servicable, and it feels better as you unlock more abilities, but it never has that shooter feeling 'nailed' like a Halo or something. I dont mind Rick and Morty humour, so that didnt bother me much, though there are a few ott sections.
For those that just want a crazy romp through some colourful worlds with some whacky humour, it would be good if was on ps platforms too.

@K1LLEGAL How do you know there are extensions to deals? If you're referring to deals like FF7R, then folks should go to Square. Sony is actually the most transparent when it comes to these deals versus Nintendo and Xbox.

@Rafie I don’t get it… you’re saying go to Square because what? It’s third party? Literally all of what we are talking about are third party deals, but you are saying Sony is transparent and Xbox is not. So then surely in all these cases we should go to the third party; which means it’s not up to Xbox at all then is it? Why should folks go to Square (not Sony) in that case, but with Xbox timed exclusives only ask Xbox?

@Sekijo I definitely misworded that comment with “especially” their timed deals when really I was thinking of the one; but I brought it up to emphasise my point about Sony not being any more transparent than Xbox (but they weren’t transparent about it and then it became permanent and they didn’t say a word about it). And in that sense… i have no examples because i’m referring to something that isn’t there… (the transparency). I feel like we only knew Deathloop & Ghostwire were specifically 1 year because Xbox literally bought Zenimax. Just like we only know about Stalker 2 being a 3 month timed because of an internal Microsoft document. I don’t think either are transparent about it.

@Cordyceps Well thank you, glad you understand me, I appreciate that

@K1LLEGAL You're missing what I'm saying. Sony is very transparent about the timed deals. They even give a date to when the deal ends. Where do Xbox do that at?! If the title of a game doesn't go elsewhere AFTER the deal is done, why should Sony have to answer for that?! At that point it's on the developer/publisher. You get it now? Almost every timed deals I've seen recently had a date to which it was done. Xbox or Nintendo don't really do that. You'll get the game whenever the deal is finished.... whenever that is. No date or timeframe.

I had fun for like 6hrs but I feel like the game ran out of squanch.

@Rafie lol yes I get it now. I still disagree about their transparency but there we go.

@K1LLEGAL 👍🏾 Game on fellow gamer.

It's on store right now, and it's a cool £50 🫣

It smacks of a £29.99 game, brand new, with sales soon after. So i'm shocked at that price tag tbh.

@Rafie lol no they not! Did Sony say stay was only a timed exclusive? Nope. Did they mention that sifu was a timed exclusive nope did Sony mention Marquette was only a timed exclusive? Nope as far as anyone knew they was only ever going to be on the playstation. Or what about ff7 remake? People still don't know if that's ever gonna go to Xbox or permanently a Sony exclusive

@Toot1st Yes they are. Do you read the comments or just skim through them? I said Sony are more transparent on timed deals than Xbox. That's not debatable. I can list a whole slew of games from Xbox that came over to PlayStation without no one ever knowing they were timed in the first place. Sifu was certainly known as a timed exclusive. What are you talking about?! Also read my comment about FF7R. Not on Sony to tell Xbox fans when that game is coming to their console. That's on Square. Sony did their part by telling folks it was only for a year. Go to Square and ask them why it's not on Xbox. Don't know what's so hard to understand about that.
