@Pat_trick That was an interesting child like response accusing me of being a child by me correcting you. Lol. Not everyone agrees with you on this issue and I was just pointing it out.
@PuppetMaster Do you actually enjoy playing video games? Or just enjoy collecting games? Denying myself a great game just because it's digital only, makes no sense to me.
@Rezium I don't know a single person from family, friends or work that still buys DVDs. I think that I myself bought one last over 15 years ago. I actually got rid of 95% of my DVD/Blu-ray collection. But apparently they still release those, my bad.
Thinking that once you subtract Game Pass downloads from that total, not many people bought it on Xbox as well. I am waiting for a bigger sale to purchase it. Too many games to play right now and then there's is that new GTA6
@RadioHedgeFund I am for digital games, and I agree that laws should be introduced to eliminate delisting of games and improve copyright restrictions/deals.
PC games are usually much cheaper than the console versions. Less money for Sega to make but I am sure that they will figure it out. I will stick with consoles for now. See what happens with digital only consoles.
It shows that this small percentage of gamers is very vocal on sites like this one but doesn't represent the majority of gamers. You should see the gamers on Nintendolife complaining about key cards.
You all are complaining now, but we all know that many of you will still buy it. People complained about music and movies and talked about not buying intodigital, yet many of you have no problem with using services like Netflix or Spotify.
With some exceptions for games like Call of Duty, a small number of PC gamers buy games at full price. Many wait for deep discounts before buying a game. A fully priced Sony game is not going to sell.
If you are doing co-op from same console on same screen, you should not have to pay. But I could see it differently if you are somehow using 2 different consoles or screens.
I am happy with my PS5, not in a rush to get PS6 anytime soon. I think it will depend on what Microsoft decides on their next console Helix. Sony would not want to lose potential gamers to Xbox
I own too many games. At this point I wait for discounts even for Sony's first party games. I never buy day 1 releases. I am just now playing Wolfenstein 2 for the first time. I am very interested in Microsoft games but will wait for a discount.
I was actually looking forward to playing this on PS5. Xbox One was my last Xbox, so it would have been nice to play to revisit the series. I feel bad for Microsoft right now, because it feels like they might be going the Sega trajectory back in the day.
I would love a collection of old Wolverine games. I know different 3rd parties made those and there is the licensing issue. But would love to see them return
I am looking forward to Wolverine and the female GOW looks interesting. That and Stuntman were games that I was not aware of. Many of the games, were already announced before. Maybe I am spoiled, but was hoping for a couple more announcements for previously unknown games.
Surprised to see this version come to Switch 2. Sony only managed to have the below average Declassified on Vita back in the day. Great time to be a Switch 2 and PS Portal owner.
I used to buy games every week on PSN, especially with some of the deep discounts that PSN used to have. I also bought newer games. I have not bought a game since last November. Granted, I have been distracted by Switch 2. For PS5 (and Portal), I do have Essential PS plus games to play and have been working on my backlog. But this year, that will change with Wolverine and GTA6. Hoping that Sony will have some special reveals for surprise games that I have not heard about. I feel like they have been coasting lately. I think my buying habits will hopefully change this year (and in 2027) starting with Wolverine, GTA6 and other games.
@get2sammyb I agree with you on that. They went for the hardcore player audience with Returnal, and not for players like me who play games on easy or medium difficulty. Even if they did make it easier for Saros, it is still is too much associated to Returnal. And now in addition, they may have lost that audience that loves unforgiving games in difficulty.
I didn't get Returnal due to the difficulty and progression issues. Saros seemed more of the same. And with higher prices, I am less likely to take a chance on a game like that.

Re: With Digital Game Sales at 90%, Capcom Appears Unfazed By Sony's Disc-Free Future
@Pat_trick when you say "us", you mean less than 10%? When you say "us," you imply more than that. Maybe say "some of us".
Re: The Whole Assassin's Creed Series Is Now Spearheaded by Valhalla's Director
While Valhalla was a massive game with fantastic graphics, I found it boring. My least favorite AC game.

Re: 'We Are Not Seeing Any Impact on Our Business': Sony Says Physical Disc Backlash Is Having Zero Affect
Wasn't there backlash when music and movies went digital? Yet, everyone accepted those eventually. This is on the same path to that acceptance

Re: Angry PlayStation Fans Propose PS5 Blackout in Protest of Sony's Disc Decision
Sony should have a mega sale that week with discount prices not seen in years. That would test the will of the protesters.

Re: Fallout 3, New Vegas PS5 Remasters Confirmed by Bethesda
It has been rumored but these are the remasters that I have been waiting for. No longer trapped on PS3 for PS users.

Re: 'It Kills My Desire to Develop for the PS5': Acclaimed Indie Devastated by Sony's Physical Games Decision
And does the digital copy owner have to pay more for the digital copy, just so a physical copy can be released to the 15% that still buy them?
Re: Reaction: PlayStation's Burned Through the Last Remaining Goodwill of Its Fans
Clearly this website has been overtaken by 15% physical media owners with the comments as this is not representative of the 85% like me.

@MrGawain I am pretty sure that they will be just fine

I was actually looking forward to playing this on PS5. Xbox One was my last Xbox, so it would have been nice to play to revisit the series. I feel bad for Microsoft right now, because it feels like they might be going the Sega trajectory back in the day.
Re: Rumour: Halo PS5 Trailer Was Planned for State of Play, Sony Allegedly Angered by Removal
PS5 is still getting the game, that is all that matters. Sony shouldn't be angry as Microsoft doesn't seem to have a clear direction these days.
Re: Crazy Taxi: World Tour Revives an Arcade Classic in 2027, But There's a Catch
I don't like AI but I feel like I have no choice here. I am not going to stop buying games.
Re: Round Up: What Was Announced at Summer Game Fest 2026?
I feel like this had better announcements than State of Play. State of Play did have the God of War announcement but this show was better.
Re: Gen Atlas Is ICO, The Last Guardian Creator's Next Game
This should have been announced on State of Play. Very exciting announcement
Re: God of War Laufey Voted Best PS5 Game at State of Play
I would love a collection of old Wolverine games. I know different 3rd parties made those and there is the licensing issue. But would love to see them return
Re: PS5 Early Access Pre-Orders Truly Are Getting Out of Hand
This is a huge monetary waste for Sony to make this 48 hour early access deal.
Re: Poll: How Would You Rate State of Play for June 2026?
I am looking forward to Wolverine and the female GOW looks interesting. That and Stuntman were games that I was not aware of. Many of the games, were already announced before. Maybe I am spoiled, but was hoping for a couple more announcements for previously unknown games.
Re: All the Best Toy Story Games Are Coming Back with Retro Revivals on PS5
Looking forward to the Story 3 remaster based on the best version (PS3) of that game
Re: 17 PS5 Predictions for State of Play June 2026
Meh predictions. Most of these games we already know about. I want to have surprise announcements. Maybe that Infamous remake rumor.
Re: Mina the Hollower (PS5) - Masterpiece for Many, But Not for Me
Souls like. That means that I am not getting this. I don't mind challenging games but not ultra hard.
Re: Xbox Will Show PS5 Logos at Showcase, But May Adjust Moving Forward as Execs Publicly Contradict Each Other
@8th_Observer in my mind, there are consoles and there's PC. Two different realms. I know that many disagree, but I only play games on consoles.
Re: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 Is Official, Launching This October on PS5
Surprised to see this version come to Switch 2. Sony only managed to have the below average Declassified on Vita back in the day. Great time to be a Switch 2 and PS Portal owner.
Re: PS Store Days of Play Sale Live Now with 2,000+ PS5 Game Deals
There might a game or two on a good sale, but I am thinking that this will be the same old sale with the same sale prices

Re: State of Play Confirmed for 2nd June, 60+ Minutes of Wolverine and PS5 Games
Wish list: New Jak and Daxter, Infamous 1 and 2 Remakes, and brand new Infamous with Cole returning. Highly unlikely but one can dream.
Re: 'There's Truth to It': Sony 'Considering' Bringing Back Your Fave Franchises on PS5
I would kill for a brand new Jak and Dexter, Sly Cooper and Infamous
Re: Halo PS5 Spotted in Stores, And It's Making Everyone Feel Weird
Not making me feel weird at all. I welcome the game.
Re: What Do You Want from a May 2026 State of Play Showcase?
I would love a new Jak and Daxter, Sly Cooper, and Infamous with Cole. One of those would be awesome but probably unlikely

I liked the first one. Just waiting for a deeper discount to pick this one up
Re: New Gears of War Could Go Head-to-Head with Sony's Wolverine, But Will It Be on PS5?
I never buy day one, but I intend to buy both at some point if Gears of War Eday is also released on PS5
