Even though digital per se is obviously great - you don't have to get up and put in a new disc etc - I still try to have a physical version as long as possible. Why? Because it's way cheaper. I buy every new blockbuster game for 50-60 bucks and sell them after a month or so for 50-60 bucks. If the game was really great I'll get it in a sale 6-12 months later or something for 10-20 bucks (this time digitally).
Could never get a full price game for 60-80 bucks (digital is more expensive obviously) and never be able to sell it again. Dark times await us.
How the f do people call this a launch game. It comes to PS4 and PC as well, so it's not a launch game. A launch game is an exclusive game to the platform.
Unfortunately I wasn't able to get some to sell them with profit. But it's always cool to capitalize on the dumbness of people (who always need their "new shiny capitalistic thingy" to be happy, for 2 seconds)
Funny that this mainstream AAA title is more innovative than pretty much every other game out there (including indies), there were so many new ideas and elements. Too bad at the end it became pretty awful. But started very impressive.
I really pray to the game gods there still will be at least a few developers who care more about an incredible cinematic experience and make their games on purpose with 30 frames and a lower resolution, like e.g. The Order back then. I know the masses love "sharpness through and through" but grain, and a lot of blur is so much more immersive.
Who cares about new entries by non ND developers. And yes, it's good, ND doesn't do it anymore, so they can do something new. And we don't need "middleclass" Uncharteds and co.
Finished it yesterday. Sold today. Great game. Unfortunately nothing more, just a "game". Never felt anything but it's the first and only open world (Rockstar aside) that I finished and wanted to play, so that's already worth a lot.
Wished it was way less mainstreamy and gamey, but still, best open world out there.
Unfortunately this game never is "more than a game" but for that it's pretty awesome. Sure is no masterpiece or artwork like a TLoU2 or similar (way too "gamey" for that) but the world is just incredible. Could have been a masterpiece as well (without the "gamey" parts) but oh well. A "real" multiplayer would be awesome too, but probably not possible.
Can anyone explain why anyone plays CoD multiplayer (or any of those shooting multiplayers)... What the f is fun about "spawn, shoot, dead, spawn, dead, spawn, shoot, kill, dead, spawn". So can't wait for TLoU2 multiplayer where you actually are in a "fight". Where you can get away from a fight, shoot, get in cover, survive, heal, come back etc. instead of "spawn, spawn, spawn" every few seconds.
Omg!!!11 Sooo hyyyped. About all those great and interesting games that will come out!!1 (zzz, hint. There are no (big) good games coming out until end of next year)
It will probably be the same as Xbox, so 500 (even though all the media clickbaits with 300 for "the new xbox!!!1"). So, I'll get it for around 400 in a sale somewhen next year. (not because of "financial situations" but because I don't waste money for nothing)
Would be so much cooler and better. Than there would be an actual impact when released end of next year when there are actually interesting/promising new titles coming at launch.
Coming this year, well, as always the "early adopters" waste their money for nothing. Which isn't bad, because that always helps the "intelligent" people, so.
@I_Like_It What do you mean "show us the dam thing". You haven't seen it yet? Go on Youtube, there are several (even official) announcement videos where you can see the whole dam thing.
No game whatsoever and everyone is joining the hype, woot woot. Will get every interesting game for PS4 and then end of next year getting the ps5 (for 100 bucks less) and the first few games dedicated amd exclusive to the hardware like a human with a brain not infested by hype.
So on the one hand you get every new game for 1 euro (or 5) per month, and on the other you get some for 70. "Thanks" to Microsofts price dumping I don't think we will see the latter for a long time since customers will "expect" to get every new blockbuster for said bucks per month. Everything will go downhill from there of course.
Not many (or at all) games with a well told single player story campaigns (well told, not good story itself mind you), so looking forward to it. How can you not if you care for well staged action blockbusters. (Ok, ignoring the fact you "have to hate cod" of course because that's the "in" thing to do)
Yeah, hm, maybe it will be a 1st person shooter??! And maybe you are a soldier shooting at other soldiers. Just a wild guess though, though so far gameplay could be anything.

What a shocker.
Always hilarious to see "surprise" from people about obvious generic crap.

Maybe I'll play it on my PS4.
(By the way, your attempt to "justify" your great new shiny hardware is hilarious!)
Re: Talking Point: What Do You Want to Know About PS5?
When do you think it will be worth to get into the new gen? Within 2 years or earlier?
Re: Demon's Souls Latest Trailer Shows Off Nearly Six Minutes of PS5 Gameplay
This looks so effin boring. But then again, that's not a new realisation.

Certainly. Because of a game series that comes out every 10 years.

So, like literally 99,9% of all games out there.
Re: UK Sales Charts: FIFA 21 Number One While Marvel's Avengers Leaves the Top 10
Somehow good/satisfying to see that "gamers" don't seem to care that much about superhero crap (like regular audiences for movies are)
Re: Ghost of Tsushima Patch 1.12 Out Now on PS4, Adds Legends Co-Op, New Game +, and Much More
Unfortunately this game never is "more than a game" but for that it's pretty awesome.

Re: Reaction: PS5's User Experience Is Made for Modern Games

Well, good ones are, and always will be.
Crap you forget seconds after and you just play "for fun", sure, are not those.
Re: This Is How NBA 2K21 Looks on PS5
Nothing about that has anything to do with "next-gen" and could be possible on "current gen" as well, but yeah.
Re: Ghost of Tsushima: Legends Arrives 16th October, Update 1.1 Adds New Game+
Damn, this looks so much worse than that "60fps!!! 4k!!11" version.

No, it's going down. Gamepass is just the beginning and games will sell at a loss even more in the future.

Re: Don't Panic, But More PlayStation Exclusives Will Come to PC
@SeverinMadara Microsoft never had any exclusives to Xbox at all (okay, 1 or 2), so not sure about the "comparison".
Re: Don't Panic, But More PlayStation Exclusives Will Come to PC
As long as it's several years, who cares.
As soon as it would only be a year or even just some months, bye PlayStation.
Re: PS5 Release Date Purportedly Pencilled for Mid-November
No game whatsoever and everyone is joining the hype, woot woot.

Pretty cool, both not good or anything, so nothing you have already anyway. Exactly what this if for, nice games for free that you don't have yet.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Is Part of Gamescom Opening Night Live

Yeah, hm, maybe it will be a 1st person shooter??! And maybe you are a soldier shooting at other soldiers. Just a wild guess though, though so far gameplay could be anything.
