@NathanUC it’s because it has become almost political now. And most people are just triggered by seeing the 2 letters together. There are so many ways AI actually helps the devs. But so many ignorant people see “AI” and fly off the handle.
Clearly not having a digital gifting feature is a sign of Sony “arrogance” lol. The “No disk, no buy” people will front this new outrage because they care so much about digital gaming.
How many of you know this is next to impossible but will still view it as a great take? Because if they were to make a PS5 cost $300 in today's tech climate, it would be a PS One.
I'm not fan of a $1200 gaming console. But I also know that the economic circumstance is causing the price hikes more so than just "greed" (quotations intentional).
Picked up Kena on sale for $15.99. Good deal. Would’ve been an even better deal if I’d played it when it was available via PS+. Anyway, starting it today. Wish me fun!
Why are so many people upset with the site for reporting this? It’s being reported everywhere because it’s PlayStation news. Are y’all mad at the reporting? Or mad at what’s being reported? Because I’m sure if it said the boycott worked and Sony lost big, you same people wouldn’t be so dismissive of it. Right?
@Rich33 the thing is, most played Veilguard like Veilguard. A ton of the criticism are people saying “This game sucks and I’ll never play it!” Inquisition is still my favorite. Followed by Origins. Veilguard is 3rd. And part 2 doesn’t even rank for me.
I undersold mine and I'm still kicking myself. Sold it for $150 a few weeks ago and I probably could've gotten double that. Anyway, VR gaming is crap. Not fun and feels very limiting.
Hopefully there’re more games than just these. Still waiting for Ghost of Yotëi and Resonance: A Plague Take Legacy to go on bigger sale. Maybe 40-50 percent.
@nomither6 that’s actually my biggest gripe with the PS5 controller. I feel like the colored shapes on the buttons are part of the brand. Even thought they’d have realized the mistake and would have corrected it. I’ve seen that colored buttons are available to purchase and install but I don’t wanna open up my controller for that reason.
I have a $35 PS5 controller with rear buttons and it works great. Really only use it when I wanna do something like power level I wanna sit the control down and walk away. But I’ve used it for other things to great effect.
Oblivion: Remastered. The buggiest game I’ve ever played in my life! This thing crashes so often that I have to save my game after every single fight! Fun game. But it’s terrible they released it like this!
Apparently this layoff has brought the “Yotëi flopped” people back out of the woodwork. Became companies “Don’t lay people off after a successful launch”. Nope, never seen that before…
Last time I played GTA was GTA IV. Had a young son and didn’t want that around so I skipped V. My son is 19 in the Navy, but I’ve moved on from GTA. Now, if it ain’t got swords/elves/orcs/dragons I’ll probably not play it. 🤷🏾♂️
Billionaire tech bro 🤬s caused this! Not MS. Not Sony. The people who are in this mad rush to build these data centers that are driving up costs for everyday people caused this! The people who apparently aren’t rich enough caused this! And I’m no rich guy hater. But call it what it is.
RAM costs are so high now that the only way to try to make a game console is to sell it at an exorbitant price. Either that, or console gaming is dead. And if that happens, the alternative is a gaming PC that costs the same price or more. And let’s face it. Not all of us want to play games on a PC.
I’d pay $1,000 for a game console. I’d like to not have to. But it’s likely that I will have to. And of course there’s no regulation for the data centers because it’s all the rich tech bros who run them. Ridiculous!
@MrPeanutbutterz I absolutely agree with this! MK is just pure violence. Even though I think MK has better story campaigns than SF. I stay away from MK because of the ridiculous amount of violence.
Oblivion: Remastered. Probably gonna try Black Myth: Wu Kong as well. I’m honestly most excited to get the trial for A Plague Tale: Resonance come next week .
@GirlVersusGame when my kid was younger, I remember he and 3 of his friends logging out of a game session because they were gonna go watch a streamer play the same game they were playing lol. I’ll never understand it!
@Balaam_ if only it were so simple. Like, one single change to the main character could’ve turned the tides. “Great games sell”, unless you take into account the hundreds of great games that don’t.
As I once called myself a Street Fighter super fan, I’ll watch this. The bar is set pretty low by the JCVD film, but I’m sure there will be some who say the JCVD film is better than this one.
@Rezium 🤣 The real reason is that the truth dismantles your belief system. Call it “anti-consumer” if you want. But reporting that most of the pushback came from bots is very much more likely than it being angry gamers. Maybe it’s why the “protest” failed. Because not too many were as upset as the internet claimed. Anyway, I’m sad that you’re leaving because of this. Always nice to have more real gamers to interact with.
When I learned about how mostly of the nasty people online are bots, it really caused me to breathe a sigh of relief. Because it would be so sad if this much of humanity is this inhumane to each other. And I’m not just talking about gaming.
Complaining about stuff like this is par for the course at this point. If anyone takes stock they’ll see this isn’t as bad as they perceive it to be. Still less expensive than past collector’s editions with the game.

Re: Sony's 10 Most Profitable PS5 Games Reported in New Estimates
@PuppetMaster current gen. Miles Morales is also a PS4 game. I get that so is TLOU. But I guess “Part 1” doesn’t count as a PS4 (or PS3) game…
Re: Sony's 10 Most Profitable PS5 Games Reported in New Estimates
Yōtei is the only one I’ve yet to play. This is counting me playing the Stellar Blade demo. Still waiting on that price drop for Yōtei.
