I will probably get it on a deep sale. Odyssey and Valhalla were too long. Felt like a chore halfway through. I don’t like to quit games halfway, always finish a game that I start. I really enjoyed Origins and Black Flag and hated how they minimized ships later on. Recent AC games are beautiful but I have found them rather boring and dull. Kind of burned out at the moment, need a break from AC games.
I have love lost faith in Rockstar (Take Two). Their PS2 games, all the Max Payne, Read Dead Redemption games have been classics. I enjoyed GTA 5 single player campaign, but Rockstar's push to online , terrible GTA Trilogy and RDR 1 port rollout makes me question future releases. I know that every company wants to make money and I don't begrudge them, but Rockstar has crossed over to pure greed.
They are finally moving on from PS4 and have not shown the full capability of PS5 games, which have been held back by PS4 versions. PS5 Pro seems too soon.
So, Sony will just have the same sale prices on same games as they have been having for the last 6 months? I still remember their fantastic flash sales that they used to have. At one point, they had a $1 Flash sale in 2015 and several $5 flash sales. Their sales were crazy back then. Nothing in last couple of years even comes close anymore.
I blame Gamespass and PS Plus. Gamers wait for games to go to these services. Developers then have no choice but to participate in these services most likely for next to nothing. It's that or this is what happens if they don't. PS Plus and Gamepass are great deals for gamers, terrible for developers and publishers.
I think Sony was holding back because of Sony fighting with Microsoft over Activision acquisition. Sony did not want to seem like they have big games without Activision. Now that it is over, I have high expectations to see what Sony has been hiding.
I liked Origins and Black Flag a lot. I liked Syndicate because it was different than a typical AC game. Odysseus and Valhalla were both some of the best looking games , yet I was bored playing them. I love in game movies to set up the story, but the conversations between characters were plain dull in both games. Not to mention discouraging sneaking around, and basically making the bird useless. Next game needs to be different, maybe a more exciting storyline.
Didn't they say that they wanted a Trilogy. Horizon 3 is a given the way Horizon 2 ends. Love the graphics, the world, and the Aloy character. I find the conversations between the characters incredibly boring. And I want and love story driven games. All the other characters do is stare at Aloy and go into boring speeches. Uncharted, Last of Us, God of War show how it can be done with more excitement. Hope Horizon 3 fixes those interactions.
While PS Plus and game pass are fantastic deals for gamers, they are terrible for developers. Most gamers will now wait for a game to come to game pass and will purchase less games. The quality of games will decrease as Redfall has just shown. But if Microsoft starts investing in a lot of quality games, they could overtake Sony. But they also have to balance that with making a profit on game pass. I don’t see it sustainable for Microsoft to have day one games on game pass that are of high production values and quality.
Great handheld, lots of great Indie games and HD collections. Awesome AAA games like Uncharted Golden Abyss were very rare on Vita, something PSP had plenty of. Exclusive AAA games like GTA would have helped to make Vita more popular. I sold the Vita and moved to Switch, which shows that AAA can still sell on handhelds. Maybe one day Sony will try again with the handheld. I would buy it.
This was on my to buy list, so I will eventually get the PS5 version. I don’t think a $10 upgrade should be a big deal. And it is dumb to skip this game just because the sequel might only be on Xbox.
I was interested in this turn based game and then heard about the card portion of it and immediately lost interest. Not interested in card based games.

Re: Media Molecule Confirms Report of Layoffs, Has Begun Consultation Process
I wonder what the breakdown is of people being laid off in-office vs at-home. I bet people at home are more likely to be let go.
Re: Venom Spin-Off Game an Option for Insomniac, If Fans Want It

Re: The Last of Us 2 PS5 Remaster Seems to Be Real
A remaster or remake of any PS3 game (or before), yes please. But remastering a PS4 game is a waste of time.

Re: PS5 Remote Play Handheld Allegedly Has Just Four Hours of Battery Life
How do the hours compare to Vita, Switch, etc? About the same? Which by the way was fine. Poorly written article without doing those comparisons.

Great handheld, lots of great Indie games and HD collections. Awesome AAA games like Uncharted Golden Abyss were very rare on Vita, something PSP had plenty of.

Re: Clouds Are One Reason Why Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores Is PS5 Only
