It’s a thing. Don’t love it. Don’t hate it. It exists… 🤷🏾‍♂️

I just started playing it and I like it. But really hate the GaaS they did to it. Makes the game feel monotonous.

I’m betting it’s ventilation issues. I’m gonna load the game on my Pro and test it.

I bought Diablo at release and I’m just now getting around to playing it. I know it’s been 2 years, but if I’d have waited, this drop would’ve coincided with the time I started playing. Wish I could read the fyoocher…

Elder Scrolls Online, Diablo IV, and Star Wars: Outlaws. Possibly getting back into my 2nd run of Dragon Age: The Veilguard. But, ultimately, I’m just waiting for Everybody’s Golf to drop.

Edit: A lot of Star Wars: Outlaws players. Love to see it! Really good game that’s been maligned a lot more than it deserves.

@8bit4Life I've not bought physical in about 5 years but I agree with you on the PS Store sales. I see them all the time, usually even as quickly as a month or 2 after release. I saw someone mention Dragon Age: The Veilguard being $30 on PSN but listed as $12 physically. I mean, they gave that game away for $0.00 a few months ago so I think paying $0.00 beats paying $12.00.

I need all devs to start embracing the ridiculousness from fans who review bomb.

I swear. This gen, most of the interaction I see on gaming forums has more to do with the business side of the gaming industry than then games themselves. Always with the arguments about 1st/3rd party, digital/physical, etc. Gamers have driven themselves to become miserable turds. Maybe it’s because we 80s gamers are in our 40s now and have become old curmudgeons? 🤷🏾‍♂️

@ButterySmooth30FPS I think this game’s issue is that it’s unfinished and loaded with bugs. But I’m the same as you. I played Dragon Age: The Veilguard and absolutely loved it! I can’t recall a game I wanted to play being pushed aside by me due to negative critic and player noise.

@wildcat_kickz I didn’t even realize he’s is the same guy from Mafia 3.

You mean to tell me all these Sony 1st party studieos have released games this gen? I feel like no one knows this! GG Mr. Darryl Dixon! ✌🏾

@wiiware as soon as I started reading your comment I knew where you were going. Always with your boogeyman.

How is it that the same folks who hate going digital and not actually “owning” their games also the people who love Game Pass? It’s weird. The Game Pass model would kill Sony and their far inferior net worth compared to MS. The only way MS competes is because of their huge net worth. And even then, they’ve never “won” a gaming generation.

AI and cryptocurrency data mining will lead to the ruination of mankind! 2 very unnecessary things that can have serious consequences.

@amatmulisha saying something is “cringe” is cringe AF… 🤷🏾‍♂️

I can honestly say that this is my most anticipated game this year! I have $20 in PS Stars points and I’m waving for this very title!

lol kidding. More power to my turn-based loving gaming comrades.

Also, being turn-based is not what people loved. They love a good game. Doesn’t have to be turn-based to make it so.

@Flaming_Kaiser @Oram77 What's crazy is that these people haven't always been this way. They didn't always "cry woke" at the sight of any game character who's not white male or a female who's not built to be eye candy. Something has made them all of a sudden become this way.

My greatest example of how they've changed comes in a comparison between Dragon Age: Inquisition and Dragon Age: The Veilguard. Inquisition had gay characters and a trans character. I remember being able to interact with fans of that game and none of that ever came up. Inquisition even had a quest in which you'd help a gay Mage come out to his father.

Now, take Veilguard. It has gay and trans characters and they've lost their minds over it! Every interaction between people who like the game gets bombarded with those who scream "DEI" or "woke". But the previous game had all these same elements...

At this point it's clear that a political agenda isn't necessary for them to bemoan these things. Al they need to see is a woman who's not there for them to just gawk at, or a main character who's not a straight, white man and they go nuts.

I'll be honest. One of the things I hate most is when I come to this site and I see an article posted about a game I know is gonna garner some crazy comments. Then when I get there, the crazy comments are already moderated. Can a brotha get 5 minutes?! I wanna see the nonsense people are posting!

To one publisher, 2.3 million is “amazing”. To some others, 2.3 million is considered and abject failure and 50 people must lose their jobs.

Honestly, all these RPGs are why this gen is my absolute favorite! But damn, how can I possibly play them all?!

Excited to try Black Desert. I’ve been trying to break away from ESO and this could be it. Although, I tried to quit ESO with the other Black Desert and, well…

@lazarus11 and see. Those are valid criticisms. The same ones I had. My most hated thing about it is the fact that you can romance any character. That leaves them all feeling shallow and robotic. Inquisition had straight, gay, bi, etc. Even had a character who wouldn’t romance anyone because she thought she was too good for anybody lol. But yeah, overall, a good game.

@J2theEzzo that’s fine, man. I gave it a 7/10 myself. Good but not great. But I see many comments like “Even when they gave it away I didn’t play it!” Then they go on to say how bad it is. How do you know if you’ve not played it? How about you try it since it’s free? Then make a valid critique. Right?

@naruball I’ll be honest. I’m a basic b——. I only play dual wield in RPGs. Anytime it’s an option is always my choice. I find magic/ranged to be rather boring. I started my 2nd playthrough as sword & board and had to restart as dual wield.

Last comment (hopefully).

I’m loving the influx of Asian characters in games!

@naruball on my 2nd playthrough. Great game! Most detractors have never even played it!

This gen it loaded with phenomenal single player games. But for some reason they’re not important unless Sony first party studios are releasing them. Also, who wants to have fun playing awesome solo joints when you can just complain about failed live services you’ve never played to begin with? Sorry, haven’t had my coffee yet this morning. 😊

Best PlayStation console! Absolutely love it! As a medieval action RPG fan, I’m absolutely loving this generation! Went from playing ESO, to Dragon Age: The Veilguard, the Diablo, and next will be Dragon’s Dogma II. What’s not to love?!

Why ya’ll mad?! 😜

A spot of bother over footy?

Dark. Cloud! Thank you! lol

Seriously though. I might wanna try this because it’s Level-5.

@MrGawain First, check out what @get2sammyb said. Second, it's not the family games that do it for Nintendo. It's the portability. Make those same games on a mediocre console that has no novelty and you get... WiiU.

If Sony could sell the same games in the PS library that exist now, but sell it on a portable console, They'd compete with Nintendo in that space. Ask any gamer if they were able to play the PS library portably (reliably) if they'd jump on?

@CaptainWow see Switch 2. Exorbitantly priced. People complained. But it didn’t matter a single bit. This is why the industry doesn’t care if the prices are raised.

I thought it looked generic from the beginning. But more power to you if you picked it up. Also, Nintendo hot damn?!

@Nei I hope they stick to their word. But Cyperpunk left a bad taste in people’s mouths. As for me, The Witcher 4 is a day 1 purchase for sure! Might take a week off work to be honest. Last game I did that for was Ocarina Of Time. Got suspend from school on purpose just to play it lol.

Lost In Random looks interesting. But that’s the only one.

@Axelay71 now that’s how you do hyperbole!

@Damage99 Me:

WHAT???? A new Atelier already? And turn-based? I'm out.
Returning characters but no Ryza or Klaudia? da heck

😜

Wasn't Playstation around long before XBOX? There was a period where it was only Nintendo and Sony. I'll be honest, XBOX has always been 3rd in a 3-man race, so I don't think their exit would allow Sony to just go apesh!t. Hopefully...

@Rich33 Spotify is a good measure of how these services work for the service itself, but not for the people who actually work on the projects. Like, an artist's album has to be steamed 1500 times before it counts as 1 record sale for them. Then they're paid something like 10 cents per record sale.

I remember Snoop Dogg saying he had 1 billion streams on Spotify and only got paid $45,000.00 for the year. That's almost minimum wage.

@Rich33 What you're describing is also who video streaming services work. Quantity over quality. Because people are paying monthly, they constantly push out new, often terrible, content because they need to keep folks from canceling their subscription. It's the worst!

I mean, so many here are contributing to this! In one breath some of you lament the layoffs and loss of jobs. But then turn around and praise Game Pass and chastise PS Plus for not having day 1 releases.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Gaming will become just like streaming if this stuff continues. Instead of buying a game you want ever 3 months or so, you'll be playing upwards of $90/month to play every devs' best games on their individual steaming platform.

Nice! 3rd person FTW!

“This is an XBOX!”

@czDante92 thanks. Definitely will give it a go!

I’ve seen so many Dragon Age: The Veilguard commenters be like: “That game is so bad that I didn’t play it when it came out and I still won’t play it for free!” But how do you know it’s bad if you’ve never played it?! 🤷🏾‍♂️

Trophy support?

@Strikke Wow! I didn’t know this! I’ll definitely be checking it out much to the chagrin of my wife lol.

Edit: One of my fondest memories of that show is the fact that Razor has the same voice as Donatello from the early TMNT series. Blew mind 11-year-old mind lol.

See how everyone is so sure it’ll flop because it’s not on Game Pass? They’re right! And this is why I DO NOT want video games becoming “Netflixified”.

@Strikke “The Radical Squadron”! Those were the days!
