@SBBuds LOL! There are far more than just these five games coming out this week.

@RadioHedgeFund Anyone that thinks Balatro is the best game of the last decade has not played any other game outside of Balatro for the last decade.

@Fiendish-Beaver Or, get on the Pro cycle of things instead of the base models. Get a PS5 Pro, then wait for the PS6 Pro.

"Those of you living in the UK". Ummmm. This is happening in the USA as well.

Be happy while you can. 2026 will mark the beginning of $80 AA games.

@Northern_munkey Do you know what "most" means? And yes, most of the tvs shown are junk. Not all.... MOST.

@Jammer I'm about halfway through Veilguard. Just like Outlaws, it did not deserve all of the hate it received from people that never played either. Neither are perfect or GotY material, but they're also not at all the disasters a lot of people called them. It's clear that most all of the hate came from people that never even played the games.

@Boxmonkey Thanks for clarifying that you never played it.

Monsters? Pffft. Pixeljunk Shooter 3 please!!!

Will pass on this due to storyline. It all seems like it would be so boring.

@Nekomichu Perhaps try reading the article?

@MARl0 Yeah. Because a whopping ONE first party title for Switch 2 launch is so exciting that I don't care about any other news games on any other platforms. LOL!

@Smackosynthesis But, the combat is bad to only some people. Not everyone who played that game has issues with the combat. Many people also love the game. If I skipped every movie, game, song that other people said was *****.... I'd have missed out on many things that I absolutely love. To write something off based on other peoples opinions is just an odd concept to me. Why not try it & decide on your own? You don't have to play the entire game if you dislike it. But if you go into something already having a mindset that you're not going to like it.... don't bother.

A recent example for me are the movies Sinners and Until Dawn. Sinners has received tons of praise while Until Dawn has received tons of hate. I LOVED Until Dawn and thought Sinners was a boring, average, vampire flick. The majority, popularity, or big numbers does not = good. Look at the music charts too. Are you going to say that the most popular artists with number one hits are the better option to spend time on listening to? Because it's popular and has good reviews people should take time to listen to say, a new Beyonce album, over music that got bad reviews from Beyonce fans? See my point here?

@Steelninja That is not an accurate comparison to even make. These are the "free" monthly essentials, not the monthly catalog additions. A fair comparison would be these games vs Xbox's monthly Games With Gold games... but those haven't been a thing since 2023.

@Smackosynthesis Because you should always play (or not play) a game based upon what someone else thinks of it. I loved the Alone in the Dark reboot and I don't agree with the low review scores.

@EfYI I gave my opinion that most everything you said is a crock of bs. Why argue that opinion with you only for you to argue back? There's no point. I already gave my opinion on your opinions and there's no need for more. But if something like that is all it takes for you to be triggered to the point of putting someone on ignore, by all means, go for it. I mean, you acting like we were friends at some point and that my opinion mattered to you at some point... until now... is pretty weird. As if you were ever going to see me in the first place. Weird.

@Haruki_NLI That's not even true. PS3, PS4, PS5 all have startup sounds that are not just a beep.

@Darude84 I'm in the US so not sure how it is if you live elsewhere. But like if I order on Amazon, Walmart, etc. there is an option to purchase warranty during checkout. Otherwise, a person usually has up to 30 days after purchasing the item to buy a warranty, depending on who the warranty is through,

Like in this image from Amazon for example, you can see the options on the bottom right:

And at Walmart here:

Or on their own within 30 days (Amazon):

Or here (Walmart):
https://www.walmart.com/ip/3-Year-Accident-Protection-Plan-For-Gaming-60-79-99/693095131

Keep in mind the item itself does not need to be purchased at Amazon, Walmart, etc. it only needs to be purchased from an authorized retailer/seller. You can also get the warranty in store. At least at Walmart, Target, and Best Buy. Don't know about any other locations or about anywhere outside of the US.

@Toilet_Goat I'm pretty certain they did all of that on purpose so a large amount of people can't renew for a discount.

@Darude84 The pearl controller looks great. Just make sure to wear gloves when playing or those white thumbsticks wont stay white for very long.

I also suggest everyone purchases a warranty when buying a DualSense (or any controller). It's like $10 for an additional two years past Sonys 1 yr warranty. Paying $10 is far better than paying another $80 if your controller gets stick drift within three years.

I would have purchased this if it didn't have the stupid forging mechanics that it does.

I gave it a 4. Repetitive as hell gameplay, crap soundtrack, boring level design, bland af environments. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

@nomither6 Unless a person only owns Nintendo consoles, I'd say that statement is quite inaccurate.

@EVIL-C And I can't stand CoD. At least not multiplayer. Some of the campaigns have been okay and at least have tried to have a somewhat decent story for what they are. Doom games have stories that are House of the Dead level in story quality. lol

Zzzzzzzzz. Tried it on Game Pass for a few hours and deleted it. Same old, same old. Just incredibly repetitive running, gunning, and jumping combat from one boring monotone colored area to another.

Nothing at all for me.

It's odd that only some on the beta fw are getting this while others using beta are not.

So it's not a remaster or remake at all. It's the same as the first remaster graphically but they upped the resolution and fps, and added a few extras like VRR, HDR, Dolby Vision, Spatial Audio & Dolby ATMOS. I'll have to pass.

I'd gladly give them my $ if they let everyone who claimed the game on PS+ have the $10 upgrade. They're losing out on sooooooooooooooo much $$$ because of that nonsense.

@trev666 Only GoW 2018, Ragnarok, and 3 are on PS+. OG 1, 2, and Ascension are not available on any tier.

Damn fugly imo. I just want Sony to make the Nova Pink DualSense available in the USA again. Makes no sense that it's still available in other regions but was limited in the US.

@Flaming_Kaiser As opposed to Mac and Linux? Lol. Come on now. You're grasping. 😂😂😂😂😂

@Dragoon1994 What are you even talking about? You're creating a straw man. I was talking about the benefits of owning more than one console. But to answer your question, yes. It's clear you don't understand how Game Pass works. Devs are absolutely getting paid to have their games on there. In more ways than one.

@Dampsponge You have to be kidding. LOL! Why should you be compensated for something you don't even pay for?

Not for me at all. Looks like a complete bore-fest imo.

Day One on Game Pass is a great deal. Things like this are why I own a PS5, Series X, and Switch. Every console has it's benefits, while not one of them has them all.

Have never once seen the appeal of this series and I've tried almost every one of them. I've even had much more fun playing Veilguard than any Monster Hunter game I've ever played, including Wilds.

@Flaming_Kaiser LOL! Win 11 updates operate the exact same way as Win 10 updates. And why do some people want to stay on 10? Simple. The majority don't like change. There is nothing less user friendly about 11. At all. Period. Just stop already and stay on topic. P.S. You're also 10 days late to the party.

Guess it's a good thing I'm not a member of Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTok, etc. etc. etc. Funny though, how advertising for things like Burger King and garbage Fox News can be displayed literally right on the Xbox home screen, yet crickets....

Got mine, which will make me not able to renew at Black Friday pricing. Almost seems they did this on purpose to push people beyond the Days of Play and Black Friday sales.

They say that signing up does not guarantee you are accepted, but did anyone that signed up NOT get an acceptance email right away?

Never understood the love for these games. I've tried many Monster Hunter games through the years and they're all complete bore fests... imo.

@LifeGirl @Matroska The game is fine. The only reason for poor sales was the review bombing by people that never even played it. Period. No debate to even be had.

Day one on Game Pass. Let's Go!

@B0udoir Visual-wise, sure. But 60fps vs 30fps with the same visuals is pretty significant.
