I will stop renting games all together then. Ill be honest subscription has been more than good for me and I am too old now to have the time sinking into all the games I have access to anyways.
Downloading right now. 200 hours in the game and haven't played it for about 5 months now. Excited to go back and finish main story and the rest of the game.
GTA 5 did too have an incredible soundtrack that became iconic over time, so not a huge suprise. In a way GTA 5 made a revolution on the quality of soundtracks and many games later got inspired the way GTA 5 used them in the missions.
I am not planning to buy sony playstation headset any time soon as my ps platinum headset that I paid 160 euros back in the day disintegrated on its own while sitting in a box pretty much, altho I did have somewhat good experience with other 100 euro Sony headsets that aren't playstation branded.
I found the game to be as entertaining as any other simulator. It's fun for an hour or two , to mess around. But that's about it. Also the performance on ps5 pro is pretty rough..I got the frame rates dip to single digits with only 3 cars spawned in a city area.
@SuperSilverback you have answered it yourself. Fairgames is going on and they allocate every single penny they have so they can burn more cash when it launches and stays alive for 2 weeks
The build is now open to a wild..you can get it if you know where to look. Probably will give you a risk but if you know what you are doing you know what you are doing
Really happy how the game looks so far, game feels and looks much more grounded in terms of realism and the return of stamina is good too. They Gona drop the airplane flight video later today so really stocked, hope it's a jet
So the PS4 versions still have 30fps caps... I'm good, besides, these games were already given out for free so why would anyone rent the whole package for the full price again ?
Everyone knew that it's going to happen. Every new acquisition goes through the same type of restructuring. Revaluate the business, fire people to cut the costs and maximise profits.
@Propaperpusher they could have made some killer single player games with that 3.7 billion. Even if the game costs would be 250mil a game, we would still look at 14-15 AAA games. Enough to reboot uncharted, revive Syphon filter, infamous, get new IPs out. But nah, let's spend 4 bil on a online mp studio that has seen its peak long ago
Since you can't really own games anymore, I won't even bother buying it off the digital storefront so to me GTA 6 was the last purchase I have made. All the games will eventually come to subscriptions anyways, so I will just focus on the 80 euro year threshold..
I expect puhsquare to rename to square cube in the light of steam machine as I see the steam machine and pc in general a much better value from now on, where you aren't locked into one storefront that has all the control over pricing. You can go to steam summer sale rn and you can see even with steam's own cut the prices of games are are insanely low,to the point that you don't even have to rely on third party shops and can just buy straight from the steam so I am going to admit that my future with playstation may end when my ps5 pro dies and unless I will get my hands on ps6 for less than 500 euros, I probably won't be coming back to console gaming as it was. Playstation also offers some cheap games sometimes, but it can't match the the steam or open competitive markers on pc. Steam machine could be a new home console like experience that will liberate you from the monopolies and best of all, if they decide to take your games away or by any chance somehow steam disappeared, you can still utilize your pc and install games you have bought through the other means.
Just to think of it, I think we all knew this will be coming, but it would have been much lessen uproar if they done the next gen as the last physical supported consoles. It would have given another 10 years, meaning whole new generation of people that have not known the feel of owning physical media and are used to licenses and subscriptions. PC is the best place to play now, since if Sony goes down in the future, all your money spent will be gone too, but even if steam was to do the same you can still play games unaffected either via gog or any other storefront, or just download your games that you had purchased through the other means if necessary. This won't happen anymore with playstation unless someone actually publish a holy grain of hack that enables custom downloads.
In that regard you are better off buying digital licenses for pc, ecosystem that isn't closed and even if you lose access to your purchase at least you can warrant putting a pirate hat on. Might be the last playstation for me
Word on the streets it has already outsold GTA5 one billion dollars in 3 days milestone just from preorders,which would make it have sold over 10million preorders
@Fluberuper you are right..those two games look so alike I literally up to this exact moment thought that they are the same game. I guess it was the ananta game that I was interested in but when NTE launched I thought it's the game I was waiting for, and already have lots of hours in so might as well keep on playing it.
I have about 70 hours in the game.. but it's very mediocre at best. The fighting is alright, but the world is very stale. Also they did advertise so many features and gameplay types in their early game announcements and gameplay videos, but I did see only very few limited instances available from those videos and all of the already in gameplay modes are extremely limited.
What about adding that Spiderman swing movement or actual police patrol like.. it's like they tried to do so much but all of what they got is plain and simple.
I got the ultimate, but only because I got it for fairly cheap 78 euros. But I had the same thoughts when seeing the ultimate edition bonuses, locking out the content that's already produced in game is such a scum move.
Edit. I will be more pissed if they try to charge again for GTA Online
