@Yor-sama 15k? Is he a professional digital artist/photographer?

I'm hardly a PC diehard but that's high level editing/ production kind of prices

That is NOT a gaming set up- but a fun one if he games in it

This game had such a strange reception for a Doom game...

Will be interested to see how it sells

@8th_Observer Didn't realize they were doing that, thanks for the mention!
I really need to give this another chance

@ErrantRob Pretty cool insight you've got!
I actually think Pokémon and Magic the Gathering card resurgence helped a new generation appreciate physical things.

But again the minority, heck of a time to be a gamer

@ErrantRob My 21 year old daughter was disgusted by Nintendo starting the
"Code in a box" and it's why she hasn't bought a S2 yet.
But your probably right and she's the exception to the rule because dad still collects 85% physical

MW3 Campaign was roasted when it came out, despite needing to jump through hoops because Activision had deleted the physical copy I had, I enjoyed it, thought it was fun.

The Crosscode take sounds like a nice change of pace.

But at the same time, this looks like a garbage month in relation to endless terrible news

@ShogunRok The "Brink of a massive crash"- I would argue the crash has
started, it's just playing out in slow motion.

@PuppetMaster
I've had Sony use dynamic pricing in my account.
Actually worked out well for me, got a game 17 dollars cheaper

Only happened 1x though

@Mr-Cage So you can sell them in after your done, so people with a smaller income can purchase cheaper gamers.
So you can share a copy with friends. If you hate a game, you just sell it.

Digital offers - Preloading " not needing to change the disc" - I would just like to say that has got to be a remarkably stupid selling point, changing a disc is hard? Oh, also no refunds

Not having an issue with giving Sony all the power to set prices is certainly a choice

When GTA6 revealed they were not doing disks i said " Rockstar have destroyed the 2nd hand market with one behemoth of a game"
I guess I didn't process the extent of it.

Gamefly/Gamestop and EB Games/Antonline of Ebay fame are going to be destroyed

So Sony will open digital sales to other storefronts and match Steam refunds right?

RIGHT????

Todd Howard never lies, so this is obviously not true.

Trust in Todd and you won't be led astray

@devil76 Its a gaming website largely dedicated to Playstation.

Xbox is also a gaming company with most of their games releasing on Playstation. What happens to Xbox is very important in regards to VIDYAGAMES and Playstation

Pushsquare also regularly slams Playstation as well

So... what's your point?

@Banjo- I really do hope that 3 does get released, but with the state of the industry.....

There's being negative, and there's being mad.

Xbox has yo-yo'ed me nonstop for 2 years it's been infuriating, I was pleasantly surprised they were going to try and be "the only place to play(console exclusives) w/E-Day to build brand interest, to possibly pissed they go(obvs a rumor) scorched Earth on secondary studios

At least Sony has been consistently crap

@Weebleman He's quite literally gamings albatross..

I couldn't fathom how he was promoted?

Unless it was to oversee exactly this, the dismantling of most of Xbox

@Banjo- Look, I can appreciate your passion for Xbox but at some point you need to draw a line in the sand.

You said i was ' fear mongering" when I expressed " I hope I'm being paranoid" about Undead Labs and their Alpha.

All the while resolutely preaching Undead was in a great place and Xbox just wouldn't.

Xbox will never be healthy again if you keep moving the goalposts and just accepting and embracing their poor gaming choices.

We can both agree that Matt Booty is the last person that should be whispering in Asha's ear..... He only knows how to fail( Midway was sad loss)

@MrPeanutbutterz It's rather depressing when you consider they are under a "Microsoft and then Bethesda umbrella " neither company capable of continuous healthy decisions

@Boxmonkey Matt Booty has been wrecking gaming for longer than that, he oversaw the destruction of legendary Midway

It's been much longer than 15 years, Activision has been led by industry poisoning baboons since the mid 90s

@RamboMike I visit Pure Xbox, Pushsquare, Nintendo Life daily.

I see far more Playstation fans absolutely disgusted w/ Sony than other sites.

Of course there are toe the line diehards on every platform-PC Gamer threads can get aggressively anti console, and some Xbox/Nindy fans can be overly loyal to every single company bit of bad news.

That and it's a running joke MS puts out fantastic news, followed by disasters or one ups Sony by putting out worse news.

It was a joke made for the worst period in gaming for the last 40 yrs

@wildcat_kickz

@Frmknst Ah yes, another Frmknst seal of disapproval
l "It's not an Extraction online shooter, it's terrible and I hate it!"

I did seriously considered selling my 4tb Sony branded WD Black SSD when I finally bought the Pro.

Nuts that I bought it 2 years ago for 284$ off of Amazon - Nearly 700 dollars today

@AhmadSumadi

It's sobering to think that the execs leading Sony, that have been leading the charge in regards to closed studios after failed game release, to more closed studios, to MORE lackluster releases are still calling the shots.

Xbox cleaned house( how does Matt Booty still have a job????) of course it's yet to be seen if the radical changes make a difference at all.

Sonys insufferable arrogance on full display

@Futureshark Right behind ya, I've got the torches!

@MagicBrownie Yes Skyrim and Fallout 4 won games of the year from the DICE Awards and BAFTA(?), is that where you're pulling "4 GOTY" from?

Fun games , I've got FO4 on PS/SX- and SteamDeck., The chronically broken Skyrim on PS3(shockingly bad performance) is definitely a bench mark
FO76 was a rolling dumpster fire at release, Starfield was the most disappointing game I've played in a decade(at release)- They ported it to PS5 so it could crash like crazy

Glacially slow fixes and updates

Endless gaming threads talking about how shamefully bad Starfield was in comparison to CP2077 and Balders Gate 3

Ya, no one is looking at Bethesda as an industry leader

Oh man that looks deliciously crunchy!!

@MagicBrownie What are you on about???
Bethesda has always released busted , let the community fix our mistakes games.....

BETHESDA ..DID.. NOT ...MAKE ...PREY.... THEY ONLY PUBLISHED it!!!!

At no point since 2005 has anyone looked at Bethesda as " Leading the way"

@For-Kier Odd, it used to be if you were critical,
" you never played it, and are just hating with the group"

But now " you probably own it secretly and are just hating it for the mobs sake"

Weird fanbase,

I'll just wait until Black Friday to buy it, or wait do I already have a copy ?

@PuppetMaster You don't think North Korea should be painted negatively????

Please... explain why

I missed the memo when the futures market of gaming companies was being off-loaded to the consumer......

The people saying Kingdom Come's combat sucks???

Huh???

Sure it's not easy, but it hardly sucks. It took a lot of practice and training

Worlds are also incredibly realized, so I think LOTR is in very capable and talented hands

Sweet, now make up a rumor that all the Killzones are getting remade/mastered

@Spedfrom I loved Doom 3 and the expansion, so have the discs and box for PC
Same for 2016, Eternal was... not bad.

DDA- Played on Series X on Gamepass at release, absolutely hated it. It just felt , I guess almost kinda bad to me.

Need to give it another chance

@Skinny-Pete Impressively inane take.......

This is a BETHESDA game, MS has nothing to do with it

Remarkably stupid opinion from you gotta say

This honestly just sounds like more
" toxic positivity"

I've yet to hear Sony higher ups lamenting mass layoffs industry wide, or the deluge of games pouring into a stagnant install base.
No in depth reflection of constant live service failures
AAA,AA games selling middling across the board

This is game going to be an eye rolling magnet of the most egregious 2 sided social bickering for the next 2 years.

I'm already annoyed by the 2 chest thumping camps.

I'm forewarned i guess- DON'T go to the comments sections- little to no civil discourse

So people have different opinions, whoopdee doo.....

I'm not sure how any this is " weird"

@Frmknst I'm honestly not giving you crap, but I'm curious.

Do really even enjoy games that aren't extraction shooters?

Kudos if you're giving other games a try

Everyone has their favorite genre, but it seems like you hate most games that aren't built around the Escape from Tarkov model

@cainhurst94 Oh man those sales were like Crack, I bet 90% of my library was from those.

Flash deals, rotating stock... it was such an exciting event

@outlawprophet

Except Hitman isn't on sale for me

@ShogunRok This is a fantastic article, and why i visit this site so much- Reviews and opinions sound like they are written by diehard gamers.

I've said it before, but i can't help but wonder if it's "Bethesda" in name only and the magic is gone. Too much coasting and patting themselves on the back while yelling " THIS IS BETHESDA" in an echo chamber of their own making.

@Runex2121

Doom-Developed by ID
Deathloop-Arkane
Rage 2016- Avalanche/iD
Ghostwire-Tango

Bethesda published these and didn't make them, probably why you enjoyed them

Sigh..... I'll probably never get to it. I need better willpower when games are only 5 monies or less

@psmr It hurts my soul that so many devs have lost their jobs, but man.... Not even half way through the year and I've added 5 games to the back log that WILL get played.

This year is freaking nuts, amazed that gaming studios at large are not drowning in cash, speaks to just how badly most s5udios and gaming directors captain their ships

@ShogunRok "with lots of NPC activity"

Where exactly is this place? Is it the packed nightcub on Neon

We speak a lot of times in past tense of Studios glory days and how due to time the studio is a shell of its former self and legendary in name only.

It's this what Bethesda has become?

I'm waiting on a used copy to show up for around 30, so I can give it the Pro oled treatment as I'm curious.

I bought this full price at release on Xbox- still bummed- and will not give them a pence more

@nessisonett That is, without a doubt, one of the most ludicrous statements I've read in quite some time....

Samsung/Lotte/Hyundai... yes, it's all pomp to outshine North Korea..

They are also a prominent military supplier for other countries

I can't express how asinine your comment is enough

I lived there for 2.5 years, how long have you?

@playstation1995

I've been dreaming about this for far to long, make it happen Sony!!!!
I'm one of the few who loved the 1st Killzone, replayed it to death on PS2

@THEBrew They did though....

@StitchJones Thanks for the
" man I'm old" reminder

Word to your mother
