@McSavage I have several digital games already downloaded so I will just play those. I only play single player anyway. This only affects me if I want to download a game right at this moment but as I mentioned, I already have several
Why does Sony and 3rd parties release the inferior versions. I know that it is probably easier to bring over PSP or PS2 versions, but you would think that they would want the gamers to experience the best versions and not inferior ones.
@DennisReynolds I agree with you, but unfortunately, many parents are ignorant of what their kids play and probably should never had been parents in the first place. And if their kids do something wrong, it is always someone else's fault.
@ShadowRJ I participated in it, and told them I prefer digital releases over physical ones, but that I ultimately buy based on sales/prices. I also said that I don't mind key cards.
Key cards are not a big deal, but a small minority of players decided to be really vocal about it. I am a Switch 1 and PS5 owner and it doesn't bother me, when I will pick up Switch 2 later this year.
I hope that this game will be able to be played by people like me who enjoy games on easy or medium difficulty. Hard as nails games are not my thing as I am almost 50 and my reflexes are not what they used to be.
Valhalla came out right after covid when everyone stayed home which explains why it sold so well. So the expectations to meet those sales are not realistic. Personally I was bored with it. I do plan on picking up Shadows in the near future.
@graymamba I agree. I really loved the game but the side activities repeated quite a bit. I did finish the game and the DLC. It felt like a 10 out of 10 game for the first half, and an 8 for second half. I do look forward to the sequel but would have loved for Sucker Punch to go back to making new Infamous and Sly Cooper games.
I blame game pass. It is great for gamers, less so for publishers. Forces publishers to make deals to bring their games to game pass. There are rare exceptions that do sell well outside of being on game pass, but more games are impacted by low sales because of it. Gamers are conditioned by game pass to buy less games.
Gears of War running always made me feel dizzy and nauseous. This video brings that back. Even with that, back then I forced myself to play the game and did ultimately enjoy the game.
I have PS5 for the big screen experience and Switch for the handheld experience. Portal is great but it is streaming games that are tied to the internet connection. I will be purchasing Switch 2, so I can play games like Cyberpunk on the go.
I owned every PS console/handheld since day 1. While I enjoy my PS5, I don't feel as excited as in the past. Maybe I am older, but that magic feel is not there this console generation.
Pushsquare predictions are kind of boring. Are they trying to temper my expectations for PS5? I would love a brand new Sly Cooper, Jak and Daxter, something unique like Shadow of Collossus, maybe another remake or remaster collection of PS classic games. I do think this is the year of Switch 2 with tons of announcements for it.
I already that Ghost of Yotei is coming, which I am excited for. I hope that this not going to be about games we already know about but that it will have announcements for new games that had not been previously announced.
I don't want to pay $80 for a game, but people are so sensitive. He said exactly what every single developer/company is saying behind closed doors. Just speak with your wallets.
15% discount for Astro Bot? That's lame. Not seeing any great deals like in past Days of Play. I love Sony, but they are getting too complacent with these lacking sales.
After just spending a significant time playing Control on PS5, I decided to tackle some of the shorter PS Plus essential games that I redeemed. Finished Concrete Genie this week which I enjoyed. Currently playing Spongebob Cosmic Shake. It is ok, not as good as the older Spongebob games. Do plan to finish it this weekend.
Ghost of Yotei and Death Stranding 2 will be big for Sony this year, but Sony should have something smaller in addition for this year. Maybe that rumored Resistance or God of War Remaster or Remake? I would love to see Sly or Jak return even in a smaller scale game.
People will complain about prices and lack of physical games whether it is Nintendo or Sony, but at the end of day, only a small percentage will not purchase these games, majority will complain but still buy. And that is what Nintendo is counting on

Re: Tomb Raider: Anniversary Due Next Week on PS5, PS4, Not Mentioned in PS Plus Premium Update
@DennisReynolds I get that but still seems like a lazy effort/solution.

Re: State of Play September 2025 Predictions: Marvel's Wolverine, Resident Evil Requiem, God of War, and More
Would love a remaster/port of some games trapped on PS3 (not including streaming in this). Infamous or Resistance Collection would be nice.
Re: State of Play Confirmed for 24th September, 35 Minutes of PS5 News and Reveals
How about an Infamous remastered collection that is native to PS5?
Re: Classic Sony Series Everybody's Golf Sells Best on Switch in Japan
Can Sony license out Sly Cooper and Jak next since they abandoned these franchises?
Re: Gritty FPS Ready or Not Ruled the PS Store in July 2025
83% of games are bought digitally on PS. Thinking it is similar on Nintendo, but Switch 2 owners are complaining about key cards.
Re: PS5's Profit Margin Problems Are a Thing of the Past as Division Tops $1 Billion Operating Income for Q1 2025
Yikes. Low profit from physical games, doesn't bode well for the future of physical games

Re: All Three Classic Gothic Games Are Coming to PS5, PS4
I never played these. Would it be better to wait for the remake at this point instead of playing the classic version?
Re: Preview: Battlefield 6 on PS5 Is the Battlefield We've Been Praying For
The destructive environment is insane in this. I just went from somewhat interested to very interested.
Re: Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound Trophy List Will Put Your Skills to the Test for the Platinum

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 588
Playing the recent Alone in the Dark game. About 2/3rds into it. Not sure why this got bad reviews. I am enjoying it so far.
Re: Best inFAMOUS Games
We need a remastered collection of these. Many Sony classics are stuck on PS3 (and streaming them does not count).

Re: Hot Shots Golf Fans Fume at Use of Generative AI in PS5 Revival
They actually have programmers do each leaf individually? No wonder games are expensive to make. I am all for AI for something like this.

Re: Konami Continues Road to Resurrection with Metal Gear Solid, Silent Hill Livestream This Week

Re: Poll: Which Bethesda RPG Needs an Oblivion-Style Remaster Next?
Fallout 3 and NV are missing on PS5. Not counting streaming. Those would sell like hotcakes.
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for May 2025?
