Honestly, PSN+ feels a little like a cash grab to me where they require a ‘membership’ to play online and offer you a scant 3 games per month as throw-in’s, most of which are rarely anything good. Or at least anything I’m actually interested in, to be fair. Beyond that Extra and Premium are fairly decent value tho as long as you just play a few games offered on the service per year. So it’s a bit of a mixed bag in my opinion. 🤷🏽
@Anke The only site I know that sort of works like a wishlist is Psprices.com but it’s really just for tracking when games have a sale associated with them. Still a really good site and useful too.
I can’t imagine over 50 titles in someone’s wishlist let alone over 100. That seems absolutely crazy to me. I basically just use the feature to get alerts when something goes on sale.
I need to do a hacking mini-game every time I want to shoot something?? Hmmmmm……. I’m not so sure about this…….. Definitely looks interesting though and I like this type of game typically so hopefully it will be good
I'll pick it up once it's patched, playable and discounted. Patched and playable is never a condition that BF games release in and I, for one, am sick and tired of paying full price for the dreck that passes as a Battlefield game on release day.
Don’t really have a lot of time to game this weekend but what time I do have I’ll be playing Lies Of P as I picked up the game and DLC in a bundle sale last week. THOROUGHLY enjoying it so far! Can’t believe it’s taken me this long to get around to playing it as I really like Soulslikes and this is one of the better ones for sure. It’s also incredibly hard even on one of the lower difficulty settings. Anyways, hope everyone has a great time with whatever they’re playing!
@wilky2988 You're absolutely entitled to your opinion and I respect that, but Lies of P being better than any of FromSoftware's Soulsbourne games? C'mon, you can't really mean that, do you? It's a great game for sure but better than Elden Ring? Better than Bloodborne? Better than Dark Souls 3? Maybe even Sekiro? Just no way.
EASILY a top 2 or 3 contender for GOTY last year. If you haven’t played this yet and enjoy these types of games, do yourself a solid and grab this. You won’t be disappointed. As others have pointed out, it’s utterly gorgeous looking, solid in its gameplay, about the right difficulty and has an incredible amount of cool places / enemies / things to find. Can’t recommend this one enough!
Hey that’s awesome! I just picked up the game and DLC in a bundle sale on PS Store and I’m THOROUGHLY enjoying it! Can’t believe it’s taken me this long to get to playing it but I’m glad it worked out this way. Definitely as good as everyone’s been saying. And I’m happy the devs get rewarded like that for their efforts!
I'll definitely give this a shot at some point. The base game was just sooooo good and for $13, even if the DLC isn't as good as the base game it's a small price to pay. Besides, by the time I actually get around to playing this, **hopefully** the bugs and glitches will have been patched out and maybe I can even catch it at a bit of a discount.
I’d been looking forward to playing this but this review mirrors my thoughts on the game after spending some time with it in the Beta test. Ultimately not enough there to hook me and keep me coming back.
In light of there no longer being an E3 every Summer, of course SGF is going to see an increase in viewership, no matter how weak the lineup, cringe the dialogue or lame the hosts are. That said, I'll take it over the alternative which is nothing.
This will be the first Borderlands game I don't buy at launch. Those prices are absolutely absurd. I can wait for the inevitable price drops AND a sale on top of them.
I’m quite looking forward to FBC Firebreak as I enjoy shooters and the world of Control. The fact that it’ll be on PS+ Extra on day 1 is a nice bonus too so I’ll definitely be grabbing that and diving into it.
I have absolutely NOTHING to play right now so I’ll be spending my free time learning some songs on bass. Next week though, I’ll be grabbing FBC Firebreak for ‘free’ when it hits PS+ Extra on day 1 so I’m looking forward to that. Hope everyone has a great weekend gaming!
LOLOLOLOL @ the # of removed comments. I can only imagine what they were considering the game being discussed. That said tho, good for Stellar Blade - the game deserves every bit of success it has. My personal GOTY for last year.
Battlefield 20 FU2 is the main reason I’ll never buy a Battlefield game again until it’s been out for and while and had MANY patches to make it actually playable.
On the other hand, I’m very much looking forward to playing FBC Firebreak on day 1. Really nice bonus for this month IMHO.
EVERYTHING about this article (both what it says and doesn't) indicates this is gonna be a bad game, which is a bummer as I've been cautiously looking forward to it.
Well, I'll say this - now that Xbox is going cross-platform with most if not all of their games, my Get List is growing at a faster rate than it ever has. A LOOOOOOOT of good games coming out in the next couple of years I already have my eyes on. My wallet is gonna take BEATING.
Really looking forward to this! Always wanted to play Gears Of War but never had an Xbox. I'll be grabbing this on day 1. Also gotta say, it has such RESISTANCE vibes. Just wish Sony would remake / master the RESISTANCE trilogy. I need trophies for Fall Of Man on my profile. LOL
That looks REALLY impressive! I’m glad (as many others have said) that it’s not some Hitman re-skin which I was initially concerned about. Looking forward to this for sure!
@Titntin Thanks for not only pointing that out (I wasn't aware of that) but also your kindness in doing so. You seem like a truly charming person to be around.....
LOL Look at Sony trying to get the jump on Summer Game Fest by 2 days, and with a last minute notification no less. Smells a little desperate to me......
DOOM: The Dark Ages takes it easily for me. Wasn't expecting it to be as good as it is and I dare say I like it the best out of the new trilogy, though it's a close call as all are excellent.
I’ve had Alone In The Dark on my get list since before it came out so this is a nice surprise that PS+ is actually going to have a game offering that I not only will play but am looking forward to doing so. Well done (for a rare change) Sony. 💪🏽😉👍🏽
I’m on my second playthrough of DOOM: The Dark Ages and having a blast with it. Hope everyone enjoys what they’re spending their time with this weekend!
I find it funny they’re putting Alone In the Dark on sale when it’s gonna be one of the ‘free’ Essential tier games 1 week from today. I guess there’s a sucker born every minute, so-to-speak.
What a shame. The game was a lot of fun but definitely too short. Would have liked to have had the sequels for this. Funny enough, I’m actually looking for a copy of this game at the moment.
I actually like it better than DOOM: Eternal, but maybe not quite as much as the 2016 reboot by just a liiiiittle bit. Dark Ages is immensely fun and quite well made. Not really understanding all the hate for the Atlan and Dragon levels as I thought they were fun, a little something different and didn’t overstay their welcome.
I’ll sort of miss it but ONLY because it was nice to get some occasional wallet funds for menial actions or purchases. If it wasn’t for that I wouldn’t care at all.
Traveling to Colorado this weekend for the holiday so I won’t have much time at all to game, but if I do it’ll be on my PS Paperweight ………..uh, ‘Vita’. ……. 😂😉 where I’ll be playing some Gravity Rush. Gravity Rush is a great title for that device as it makes good use of most of the Vita’s features. Unfortunately, about the only time I ever play my Vita anymore is when I travel which isn’t too often and even then it’s not much since there’s (obviously) other stuff I’d rather be doing. Anyways, hope everyone has a great time with whatever they’re playing!
I paid full price for it on PS5 and I’m enjoying it immensely. Excellent game. Granted I’m disappointed that the physical copy is little more than a license key, but it doesn’t take away from the fact that the game is incredibly well made and lot of fun to play.
I haven’t played this yet and it’s been on my list of games to play since before it came out. Despite the fact I’ve played just about every Soulsborne, Souls-like and Souls-lite out there the difficulty of this one has had me hesitant about it. Seeing as how there’s going to be a difficulty option that can make it a bit easier, I may just give this a go when that happens…..
Not surprising in the least bit. The only things worth getting out of it were either free PS Store credit or free games. Both of which took forever and an eternity, respectively, to earn. Just have to make sure I cash out before it runs out
The games are certainly very good games and well made but, IMHO, are also somewhat overrated. Maybe it’s because I played the first one a few years after it came out, but I definitely didn’t think it was THEGREATESTGAMEEVERMADEINTHEHISTORYOFEVERANDDON’TYOUDARESAYOTHERWISE!!!!! Same for the sequel. As for the TV show, It’s definitely well done entertainment and I enjoy watching it but there’s no question it has its issues, much of which has been discussed on this site already so I won’t belabor the point. Suffice it to say, it’s a good story that works well in both mediums but isn’t the be-all, end-all many make it out to be.
I have a REALLY busy schedule this weekend so I don’t have much time to game but when I do I’ll be playing DOOM: The Dark Ages. Hope everyone enjoys their games!
I did something for this game that I very rarely do which was to pre-order it. With games like DOOM, God Of War, Call Of Duty, Remnant, any FromSoftware game and maybe one or two other series or developers, I know from past experience the quality of game I’ll be getting and that it will be loads of fun. All of which is to say I’m all about supporting good devs and game series with top dollar to show my support for them. Especially in a day and age when game studios seem to be closing down left and right every time you turn around.
