He's spot on about asking EA where's the Strike games because more than 30 years on Desert Strike on the Mega Drive still remains in my top 10, perhaps even top 5, video games of all time!

Frankly I don't care if Yotei is a great game or a bad game, an epic story or yet another generic revenge yawnfest.

For me how Sucker Punch dealt with everything after the assassination, namely Brian Fleming's feeble response in that Kotaku interview ensured I'll never support that studio again.

@Oram77 when you go out of your way to provoke the sort people who already disagree with you then that equates to inviting hate. The geezer grinds my gears too so I'm definitely no fan of his but I do draw the line at some of the unhinged stuff that gets launched in his direction.

The money men are Naughty Dog clearly believe in his creative direction but many gamers do not. At the end of the day who's right and who's wrong will come down to the numbers that this heretic thing does when it comes out.

I personally won't be buying it, nor would I be interested in another instalment of TLOU but I would be all in if Naughty Dog were to resurrect something from the Uncharted universe.

@PerpetualBoredom no pyro no party 👊🏻

@Neither_scene you're entitled to your opinion and I get what you're saying but I've already outed both the ones that I bought spare, and not at outlandish prices I hasten to add.

Whilst the seasoned hard-core resellers are listing theirs at up to 150 quid a pop I sold my two at 90 quid each. One of the buyers is from abroad so he actually bought it through eBay's Global Shipping Programme.

I can assure you eBay appear to have earned far more out of the transaction than what I did because matey forked out over 128 quid in total, just putting it out there.

@Shinnok789 Did you really write all that in what is little more than an entitled rant?

Seiko get ridiculed for releasing their 'limited edition' watches that number 3000 or 4000 because the community feel those are saturation numbers.

Yet here's you advocating Sony should be releasing their limited edition controllers in the hundreds of thousands, wow just wow!

@Neither_scene Sorry to gatecrash your debate with Astro but I just couldn't sit idly by.

As someone who bought a few of these controllers on Friday and Saturday for myself, for Christmas pressies and two to sell I take exception to being called a scumbag. And as for using bots, blimey I wouldn't have a clue where to start!

They were in stock at multiple retailers all day Friday and still in stock with two or three of them on Saturday, with EE still having them available most of Sunday too.

So anyone who fancied an Astro Bot controller literally had the entire weekend to secure one, two or even more at RRP if they so wanted so please stop with lobbing personal insults about eh.

@Shinnok789 If something is marketed and released as a limited edition product and then the manufacturer opted to produce excessive amounts resulting in the market being flooded I'd say that would be very very wrong.

So I'm sorry but I totally disagree with your opinion, I'd say it does actually make the said action right and proper.

@Shinnok789 So Sony are merely doing what Nintendo and Rolex have been doing in their respective spheres for years now.

There's a big difference between folk buying up loads to sell at double or even treble the RRP and genuine gamers who buy a few to sell at 15 quid mark-up to make their own one for free.

They were available at Game, Smyths and Very near enough all day Friday and EE Store actually still had stock till yesterday so anyone who wanted one of these at retail had plenty of opportunity to grab one.

I missed out on the 500 million PS4 Pro and ended up paying through the nose for it because I was desperate to have one. I didn't hold a grudge against the reseller who made a quick 200 quid out of me, I was actually really grateful because I felt it a fair price.

People get irate whenever 'you snooze you lose' gets mentioned but it's always been that way with all high demand consumer goods. It was like it long before the Internet existed and will always be like it so it is what it is.

Personally I ordered a few as they'll make great Christmas pressies for certain members of the family and a couple of cheeky extra ones for eBay too. 😉
