Damn, this reads like a human version of Nier:automata with its combination of despair and silliness in the story telling. Is that correct? Mixing the turn-based combat with souls-like parries feels like a great idea as well.

Never even heard about this game, but it could potentially be my game of the year if Death Stranding 2 didn’t exist.

Good thing I’ll be on holidays then. I want to experience everything as fresh as possible when I can play it.

Still fist deep into Night City and loving it!

Oh wow, didn’t expect this. Somehow I feared a half baked translation to the PS5 architecture. I’ll definitely play it next year or so.

I’m spending most of my time in Night City. If only more people knew this is essentially the ultimate GTA game…

@NotTelevision Perhaps not shovelware then, but most definitely not excellent value either. I’m thinking about games such as Returnal, Demon’s Souls and GOW: Ragnarok (all on Plus) when using such terms.

Doesn’t really matter though. It’s just that Push Square more often than not oversells stuff a bit too obviously. Not a disaster by any means, but it makes it harder to determine if something interesting actually did happen.

@naruball I know what is meant, but don’t agree on that logic. Mediocre games are just shovelware.

@LiamCroft Don’t really follow that logic I’m afraid 😅 A 7/10 being added to a subscription service doesn’t make it excellent. There’s a reason you normally wouldn’t play it.

“8 excellent games”. Clicks on reviews on this very website > all except one are 5/10, 6/10 and 7/10.

@ozkrmz I’m having an eye on this one as well, but according to psprices.com it’s never been on sale in the PS Store.

A spiritual successor should at the very least appeal to the same players. A multiplayer game most definitely isn’t a spiritual successor to one of the most popular single player games ever made. Just as with Nightreign I won’t even consider playing this.

Taking my time to slowly delve into Cyberpunk 2077. It’s a complex game to find your groove with, but I feel like it’s going to be worth the investment.

Perfectly fine with me. That’s hardly any inflation in 25 years time.

Never got it, although my subscription ended quite some time after the outage (March 7th).

@Jarl76 “We”? Who are we?

No, these Switch games don’t speak to me at all. Not interested in PS3 graphics in 2025.

No, I have zero interest to even look into this or watch the show. I respect the Nintendo of these days, I hear nothing but praise from their target audience, but I’m not it. Feels too arcade for me, just give me the more serious gaming experiences on my Pro.

Can’t wait to undertake this adventure once more, after having played for 200+ hours already. Feeling the dual sense rumble while leaving a planet should be heaven. For me this is the only downside of having sold my Series X.

Well, let's say that's AN opinion.

I have my eyes on Phantom Liberty with 25% off. Do you think it will get lower than this in the coming months?

How I interpret it the games on sale currently won’t run until April 23rd, but will be replaced by a new selection on April 10th. At least all the ones I checked have an end date of the 10th for now.

@DreamlandGem Ah okay, must be a technical glitch then.

Why has my comment been removed? Didn’t know we had censorship here, plus I said nothing controversial or disruptive.

@ZeroSum I see plenty of reactions (including pictures) on Reddit that prove exactly that.

@ZeroSum Well, that’s just A definition. The first hit I get is this one: “A killer app or system seller is a game that makes a consumer want to purchase a console primarily for that game. It can be because of a significant leap forward in graphics or because a game offers something unique, never seen before, critical acclaim, or appeals to an entirely new audience.”

This definition describes the case at hand pretty well.

What do people here have against the term system seller? The same reactions were given when PS called Starfield a system seller, while in fact that game almost was the definition of system seller.

As for Shadows: the Pro images/videos get lot of promotion currently and it already was a popular game. This naturally means more people will consider the Pro and some will actually buy it. That’s what a system seller is, folks.

I feel good now having waited buying it. By the time the game is in its best Pro form it will be a lot cheaper.

Since I was considering to sell my PS VR2 because I don’t play it very often I decided to give it one more test and fired up Gran Turismo 7. Holy *****! I never experienced anything so real before. The total immersion of being IN the actual car, looking around to check your mirrors and seeing all the interior makes racing so real. The side to side action on tracks is literally heart racing.

Mixing this up with some Resident Evil Village (non-VR) and F1 24 on my Pro.

Edit: Wow, the word sh*t is forbidden? Feels like I’m at my grandma’s again 😅

Wow, who came up with this idea? So original!

I’m sure this will be a great game as well, with the same studio and a bigger budget. I just hope it won’t be too easy, Returnal found just the right balance between challenging and doable.

@Toot1st Hard to make claims like this without actually viewing the differences on a television suited to benefit from the Pro. So many people (I’m not addressing this to you) are giving opinions on Pro images from most probably their smartphone while the difference on a good television is night and day. All these comparison videos tell me very little.

This game looks stunning and I couldn’t be happier with my Pro. With this game it annoys me though that I still have to choose between two things I want both. Other games I’ve played offer 60fps with full ray tracing. Why not here?

I’m so glad this one is reviewed well. Ubisoft games get lots of criticism but this setting (opposed to Valhalla) immediately spoke to me. Guess I’ll wait a few months for the inevitable price drop though.

Didn’t finish Call of the Mountain, it became too frustrating because of the controls. Started RE: Village instead and might pick up F1 24 on my way home. For the first time in four years I’m watching F1 again so I have some homework to do to learn the “new” tracks

@Dimey Good to know! There’s tons left to discover in the main game luckily.

Most definitely a system seller. I literally bought my first Xbox (Series X) solely for this game two years ago and many others did the same.

Traded in my Series X and PS5 for a PS5 Pro in the meantime, but would absolutely love to play it again. Especially on the dualsense. I put in over 250 hours already, but was nowhere near discovering all planets and haven’t played the DLC.

I hope there will also be a fairly priced alternative for people who like physical copies, such as a nice steelbook version for € 20 more or so as they did with Starfield.

@Shad361 Probably because those advertisements are being pushed to you because of your search history. Never seen those advertisements once.

@Shad361 Guess I and most others are just lucky then.

@Shad361 anything more than a very small chance probably means you’re too rough on your controllers. I’ve only had in once in four years (and plenty of others with me). Got a new one without any discussion.

@SoulChimera Not necessarily. FH5 was the first game in the series I played and I was quite bored actually. It’s good to know beforehand that it’s VERY arcade in setup and handling. If that’s your thing, you’ll probably have a great time with it.

@nessisonett You could say that about most luxury goods. 400 is actually a really good price for this type of niche hardware. Plus, there are tons of cool games to play, so the “forgotten about” thing isn’t a problem at all to me.

I need more information about the games first, but anything linked to Mars catches my attention so Surviving Mars might be interesting.

Thanks for the Reminder. I'll immediately go to Amazon.com to score these PS Store deals.

I mainly remember it as the prequel to one of my favorite games: XIII-2.

OMFG! I haven’t bought a new game in two years, but will be playing this one on release day.

Trying to finish Call of the Mountain this weekend. Quite a bad game (good tech demo), but I want to finish it now I got this far.

On the Pro I’ll continue with The Callisto Protocol after that.

I still haven’t got used to articles releasing the date of when the release date will be released.

I really want this to be good. The combination of setting and gameplay has potential. The bloodiness is a good sign as well.

No, I don’t have PS Plus and live alone, so I only play solo.
