Most certainly will be playing SF6 and not watching. I will be looking at the huge amount of salt afterwards in the comment section of the youtube video, twitter and watch the excuses galore.ð
I probably will not even watch. It depends on what im doing at the time it streams. If im playing something like Street Fighter 6 with the new update, I may not even bother pausing that to watch this. We are truly in the no fun zone era when it comes to PlayStation streams.
Personally I didn't care too that much about the hints. It was slightly annoying to me. My problem is that the puzzles sucked and helped bring down the game.
These numbers for Astro Bot are basically pointless to me without digital at this point. The game has been top 5 - top 10 digitally since it released over there. Those PS5 sales though;(
There's been instances where the game has been basically causing crashes from seemingly overheating. Mine did it once but my PS5 is spotless(I clean it every 4 months and I just so happened to clean it a weak before Astro Bot launched) so I don't know what the cause was. It only did it once. I don't know if the update addresses it or not. Wish these updates told you what they did.
GT7 was the most interesting thing they showed. The game already looks great and with all the stuff confirmed, I really want to see it on my oled but sadly it's not going to happen. Unless someone buys me a PS5 pro lol.
$700 and that's just the digital version too. Nah im good, yall have fun. I still like my PS5 so im not that desperate to upgrade. The only thing that sucks is that I really wanted to experience the raytracing stuff on Gran Turismo 7(which looks great already without it). But I can live without it.
Welp, guess i'll look around and see what I can sell in order to pay for a PS5 pro. I can't sell my games because i'm a collector now. I could sell my body once or twice and then sell my PS5 to make up the difference. We'll see.
@NEStalgia when it comes to software sales, physical media isn't really that relevant for PlayStation any longer in Japan to the degree it used to be. I kind of realized this after paying attention to how Street Fighter 6 has been doing over there. It's a lot more relevant for Switch still.
Happy for Team Asobi. I''ll be even happier for them if people go out and buy it. PlayStation gamers, it's time to go out and buy that game. Get off cod, fortnite, 2k, Madden/College Football, all them gaas your continuously dropping money on and go buy Astro Bot PS5! ð No excuses! You got the money!
Got nothing new to add but it so i'll copy and paste from my past statement. I see people saying it should have been f2p. No, it being f2p would not have saved it. People were turned off as soon as they saw what it was. The character designs/the world etc and all the extra stuff that went along with it is the first thing people notice and if you can't pass that part, your gameplay better look hella tight to make up for it to at least keep their interest up. When it comes to this game, the latter doesn't. So the game was doomed from the start.
The funny thing is, the whole hiding till is practically done thing PlayStation likes to do now days may have bit them in the ass this time. Because if they had shown this off years back, they likely would have gotten the same reaction possibly leading to some other action. What action I don't know but you would have had time for more action instead of sticking your head in the sand because it's already too late.
RockSteady with the most predictable layoffs ever and like most AAA devs along with them and the publisher WarnerBros, the wrong lessons will be learned.
Welp there goes my dream of him making a fighting game again(like CVS3) but the guys over SF6 could technically handle that at the same time. I knew he was probably done with DMC, Capcom will find someone talented within if they haven't already found them. We'll see. Dang, Kamiya and now Itsuno, two of my favorite directors/creators are trying to revamp things. Im getting old;(. I'am old;(
Time to support. No excuses. Get off fortnite, cod, ubi stuff games, all these gaas games you're throwing your money at continuously. Money should be on Astro Bot.

Nah. I don't like the character designs and the maps. The gameplay is meh too so it can't make up for the former. It's a recipe for the disaster that is unfolding now. And f2p wouldn't have saved it neither.
I instantly got Sony Rewards program flashbacks. I remember how they slowly killed that program. They may as well kill this program now as far as im concerned.
I'm just sad still they changed it to PvPvE. I liked the setup more they had before. I still play Helldivers 2 til this day even with all the controversies. That and The Finals got me back into multiplayer games again. I played and enjoyed The Finals even with the balance problems at the time that I stopped playing the game(mainly because Helldivers 2 came out). So I actually trust Embark but like I said, it sucks they changed it to PvPvE.
My thing also is that I only have room for maybe 2 multiplayer games at a time at best so it's pushing even if it's good. These games usually demand most if all your time and that's part of the problem with these live services(Helldivers 2 being an example of the exception when it comes to live services).
Day one. 17 characters+Season1 for $60 is more than reasonable. Saying that, I don't really get hung up on just the number of characters in a fighting game though, especially in 1v1s as it's not at the top of my list of concerns.
Quite sad for me in one way, this is the type of game I surely want a physical copy of. That said, im buying. I don't like singleplayer games I really want to play being tied to a sub and id rather support the developer with my money this way.
Yeah I received an email requesting that I make a small write a small review of Helldivers 2.
I have over 500hours in the game and like 96% in terms of trophies. However it wouldn't let me actually review it and instead ask me to choose an edition. Like ratings, physical owners are left out it seems, are at least unless it's bugged for some games.
Profound sadness. The Order 1886 wasn't perfect but it had potential. They had something to build on. Wished PlayStation and them had come to an agreement on a proper sequel before they let themselves get bought out.
Yeah im playing and will be playing this weekend naturally, afterall, I have over 500 hours in this(441 mission time). That said, the update isn't going over well with a lot of the community thanks to some of the balance changes(right before the fire warbond lol). AH can't seem to get out of their own way at times. The short of the rest is that the update doesn't seem to be worth the wait. Hell, you practically nerfed the next warbond in a way and it's not even out yet lol. The way im seeing it right now, this game will see a temporary uptick but quickly go back to where it was before the update in player count.
I'll get it...if it's available when I try to pre-order it lol. Still holding out hope for the Glorious Graffiti Astro Bot DualSense to be a real thing in the future though.

I probably will not even watch. It depends on what im doing at the time it streams. If im playing something like Street Fighter 6 with the new update, I may not even bother pausing that to watch this. We are truly in the no fun zone era when it comes to PlayStation streams.

Re: Talking Point: Is PS5 Pro Way Too Expensive?
Yeah but there's going to be buyers for it without a doubt. It's a luxury item basically. Sony knows it so they don't care.
Re: Poll: Are You Sold on PS5 Pro?
$700 and that's just the digital version too. Nah im good, yall have fun. I still like my PS5 so im not that desperate to upgrade. The only thing that sucks is that I really wanted to experience the raytracing stuff on Gran Turismo 7(which looks great already without it). But I can live without it.
