@Haruki_NLI so what you’re saying is Sony should’ve just told them to subscribe to Ps+ instead of giving them the games free? Damned if they do, I guess… 🤷🏾♂️
@ChallengerxUK again! I don’t care, man! If you check my comments on PS exclusives going to PC you’ll know what I think: Other people being able to play the games don’t stop me from playing the games. I have no loyalty to Sony whatsoever. They just make the games I love to play. I used to be a heavy Nintendo fan. Then I moved on to PS. No “pony” over here.
@Challenger-UK 🤣 I. Don’t. Care! Didn’t care when the games went to PC and won’t care if and when they go to XBOX. I just think the response was funny. Didn’t know anyone would flip like you did.
Wife just bought me Split Fiction for Valentine’s Day! Will likely get into that when my son gets home from work. For now, it’s Division 2 solo and passing the controller with my wife on Astro Bot. It’s a family affair!! 💕
@Kairuuu I mean. They release remakes and remasters vs new games at such a lopsided ratio that I’m shocked that people still complain about remakes and remasters. Also, this is a remake that people actually asked for.
@babek just so you know “BGONE” is the acronymic name for Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden. Do yourself a favor and also add that to your wishlist. Thank me later.
@AdamNovice in a world where we can get almost everything shipped to us within 24 hours, you’ll have to expect that people will spoil themselves on instant gratification.
I won’t revel in the failure of anyone’s hard work. But at some point they’ll have to realize this push isn’t working. Far more misses than hits. And when you’re asking the gaming community to flock to a new live service every 2-3 months how can you expect any of it to be successful?
@StitchJones “PS3 level textures”?! Really? See, when people say things like this it leads me to believe that when people wax nostalgically about past console generations, they’re only being selective in their memory. Game wasn’t great. But PS3 level textures is nonsense!
@Th3solution Yeah, man. I'm discovering new games every time I finish one. And some great indy titles to boot. I've always not cared for the hoopla surrounding indys but there are some gems out there.
I've never been one to fan out over any particular studio. I like games from all the Sony studios, but if they're not releasing anything I don't care. They're not the only ones who make great PS games. Like, I happened upon Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden just because I was looking for something similar to Echoes of The End. Banishers is now one of my top 10 games all time. So yeah, there are so many great games out there that go unplayed because everyone is waiting for the heavy hitters to drop something.
In truth, the PS+ library alone can hold you over. For 2026, I've made the resolution to not buy any game more than $30. I luckily found Astro Bot online for that price. Game is so good that my wife plays it with me. I don't think she's played a video game in 25 years lol.
If you’re an RPG fan like I am, how can you not absolutely love this generation?! Every week there’s a new RPG being released. And not just turn-based stuff. Every iteration of RPG! You gotta love it!
@AdamNovice what you said about asking gamers what they want reminds me of when a friend of mine worked for a local radio station. Of course you know radio plays the same music daily. So, when people were complaining about this, the station started playing different music each day. They were flooded with complaints that they weren’t playing what they usually played. And that sums up everything!
I really don’t understand how people need Sony to make games for them to feel good about their PlayStation console. I honestly don’t care about a dev/publisher. None of that should matter to a gamer! If the game is good then who cares who made it? It’s like going to a Chinese restaurant and getting some really good Chinese food but can’t enjoy it because the chef is a white guy from Arkansas.
Honestly, this generation releases good/great games every month. The thing is so many gamers look to a games budget to determine its worth. AAA or AA comes up so often it’s ridiculous! Why do we, the consumer, care so much about the board room decisions? I’ve played 10 games recently, most of which are 7/10 rated, and I’ve had so much fun.
Make all fight scenes turn-based. Make the show as boring and monotonous as the game!
Also. You folks who hate TLOU show. You think too highly of yourselves. Just because you make the most noise doesn’t mean you outnumber those who like the show lol. The rest of us just enjoy it and don’t spend our time online trying to convince others to agree with us.
@JDINCINERATOR nostalgia is the killer of progress and creativity. People latch on to the past and always think things were better back then. Little do we know that it’s because it’s likely we lead simpler lives and had fewer worries.
Anyway, PS2 had many things that benefited it and lead it to be the commercial success that it is. But it’s not better than PS5. And if you list off why you think it’s better. I best most those things will reflect that it’s pure nostalgia.
@Divergent95 why’s there nothing in between? There’s a whole of in between. The spectrum between Expedition 33 and Cyberpunk is as vast as the Grand Canyon.
I think this’ll be more in the middle than anything else. We can’t expect another Expedition 33 so soon. And this game doesn’t bring the level of expectation that Cyberpunk brought.
Wait? So this isn’t a game where we’ll have to create a character? Interesting. I believe non-created characters can add to a more fleshed out story. We’ll see…
Friends and I started playing Division 2 again last night. We were all disappointed at no native PS5 version after all these years. A thousand updates and no one thought to upgrade the game to native PS5? Lazy AF in that regard!
@Scottyy yes. Looks just like her lol. That’s why I’m saying it would be a good pick. Like, they could’ve gone with the same Odin actor as well. He’s done enough live acting to repair the role. But Inigo Montoya is cool too.
@kailun yep. But COD and FIFA are very different games. They’re also franchises. What you say makes no sense as a rebuttal to what I said.Like, I can name 40+ western games released in the last 5 years that are very different. All those Chinese games can stand as sequels to the one before it.
@MichaelNau I plan on getting Absolum and Marvel. Wish the Double Dragon game followed the old school formula because those were my favorite beat’em ups.
Also, I’ve platinum’d The Witcher 3 five times lol. I hope when the rumored DLC drops that I’m able to do so one more time lol.
@MichaelNau the only thing I hate about Streets of Rage 4 is that there's no PS5 version. I usually platinum the PS4 and PS5 versions of these games because they're so fun to play. I did so with TMNT: Splintered Fate and TMNT: Shredder's Revenge. Checked back on Streets of Rage but there's no PS5 version to replay. Anyway, I was gonna pick up Absolum when it was $19.99 but I skipped it. Sucks, because now I'll be paying full price.

Re: God of War TV Casting Continues with Mimir, Brok, and Sindri Actors
