Someday when this game is $2.99 on sale I am going to buy and play it just to see the disaster myself.

Great month, I can't say I want to play Tomb Raider 1 yet again, but I would love to play II & III a lot. LotF and their chud lead exec can suck it.

There are so many games I'm excited to play and just don't have the time yet, so a game like this is one I will wait for a substantial discount on. I mean I know I'll get some enjoyment out of it, but the procedurally generated parts seem exactly like the kind of tedium that makes me bounce off games. In a few years, on sale.

I picked up Marvel's Midnight Suns Legendary Edition for $19.99 and Deliver Us Mars for &8.99

I'm seeing $39 for Astro Bot and DekuDeals also has that price. I wonder how DekuDeals and other similar sites will deal with this exploitative pricing practice. Same price after logging out too though cookies may be involved and I didn't delete those.

deep sale a few years from now just so I can check it out

Translation: "We really need the sales from PS fans" Yeah I'm definitely waiting for a deep sale on this one, oh , not what you meant?

My favorite meme I've seen so far: https://bsky.app/profile/pspolygons.bsky.social/post/3mh7vohavuc2s

I'm more concerned about whether it has a good story and characters and whether the actual gameplay is fun or just a lot of tedious tasking.

Is it going to put smokey eye makeup and lipstick on every face?

Someone will make a tracking site so that you can check how the prices are playing out for different people, and I will be checking that site before I buy anything.

Always wait for a patch if you care about a good experience, especially for single-player games. I get why Day 1 is exciting for multiplayer but these days there's really no reason to buy Day 1 for single-player.

As much as I want to play this game, I'll be waiting for at least (but probably more) one patch before I dive in.

Kratos looks like he has a dad bod, he should be ripped. Hard to tell with that pose though...

These are the kind of games that will sit in my library until it's the very end of the generation, when I'm running out of things to play in my back catalog, similar to where I'm at on my ps4, which I still boot up at least once a week.

Kratos was a parody of hyper-masculinity, it was supposed to be funny, same with the cartoonish violence. If they ditch that idea entirely it will not be the same game and they should completely re-do it keeping only the core story elements.

Disappointing on more than one level, the future of Ubisoft does not look bright (for me).

@EfYI I'm playing Assassin's Creed Odyssey on the PS4 pro, and then on another night will play Dragon Age Veilguard. I chose performance mode for the faster framerate though so I imagine the graphics could look even better. I mean the PS5 does look better but both games are beautiful and the differences in graphics don't really wow me.

I got a new TV and a PS5 Pro but I've only played a couple games on it so far. I honestly can't tell if PSSR is being used or not? I mean it looks a bit better than games on my ps4 (I switch back and forth regularly) but nothing mind-blowing. So I am rather indifferent to this news. Guess I'm not a graphics hound like some gamers are.

Bloodborne is my least favorite FromSoft game, though I haven't played Seikiro yet. In fact I can honestly say I struggled to finish it because I disliked it so much. Dark Souls 3 is still my favorite.

Th ranged telekinetics from Control were really fun so I am a little worried, but I loved Control and it's world so much, I am willing to keep my hopes up.

I'm good with a longer generation cycle over all, the the shortages are going to really hurt price-wise for a long time. And if the shortage ends, prices will still not come down, just like price rises from the recent egg shortage have also not come down (In the USA)

Nothing for me, but that's OK. I have way too many games in my back catalog to care.

What does early access matter? LOL, it's digital sales, infinite supply, for games that will be on sale over and over again for that matter. I mean, buy it now or buy it in January or even later next year when they're on sale again.

You completed the tutorial! Ding! Trophy! You completed a chapter of the game which you'd have to do anyway to get through the game! Ding! Trophy! You killed something with a weapon! Now do this 99 more tedious times! Trophy! Now do this with all 15 weapons in the game! Barf!

Trophies as a concept aren't a totally bad thing, but the way the super grand majority of them are implemented are what turned me off trophies entirely. I just ignore them. Notifications turned off. I don't need anyone else determining for me when I'm done with a game, I just know it.

I always meant to go back and do a 2nd playthrough with the characters I didn't choose the first time, this may well be the motivation I need.

I hope it ends the trend of traversal being an effortless walking/climbing sim. Climbing up used to entail some tricky combo moves. Bring back the gymnastics with double pistols and stupidly large tombs and I'm in. Although I can't say playing the original game is that appealing, I've played it and Anniversary multiple times already.

I loved Original Sin 2 even though it looked very much like a PC game (those giant dialog text boxes!) rather than a console RPG, but I am very excited for this. RPGs are my favorite.

There's probably a whole generation of gamers who haven't played, and won't play, Black Flag simply due to its age, so I have no problem with a remake. However I'm currently struggling with the repetitive grandiosity of Odyssey, which borrows heavily from Black Flag, and can say with confidence it's a remake I'll never play.

With Tencent's stake in Ubisoft and Saudi Arabia's EA deal, those of us who want to make ethical choices when buying video games are seeing fewer and fewer options.

@Sketti Well... "essential" is a matter of opinion I think. Even though I liked the graphic design and music the idea of spending 30+ more hours playing P5 is not appealing to me, the base game was long enough as it was. And I don't mean any disrespect here, but "true endings" are just a marketing scheme for the FOMO crowd. I didn't feel like I was missing out on anything playing the base game and have no desire to go back despite knowing there is more content to be had, or different endings etc. Don't feel "stiffed" at all.

But I agree that for fans of the series or any game, training them to wait for the complete version down the road was a bad business mistake. DLC was always about generating sales though, not about pleasing fans with more.

I got my Pro this week, finally - now just need to get a compatible tv. The prices are looking pretty good this week.

Sometimes I buy the base game even when a "definitive" edition is out because I consider the extra stuff to be just more bloat and I value somewhat shorter game experiences these days. Roller Coaster, not Small World.

Giant breast fetishists rejoice!

I'm not familiar with Killing Floor or Synduality and after reading this post, still not.

I wonder if they'll ever patch out the ultra-misogynist dialog in this game. I was shocked by it myself. Turned me off of trying out any of the other Tales games, that and the repetitive combat.

An endless grind for better gear and weapons is just never gonna be my thing.

Alien Isolation is still my favorite horror game and it's not in the list

In my imagination TABS is the most inaccurate battle simulator ever and it would be really fun to play.

The number one priority in RPGs, for me, is the writing (really in any game that tries to make the story a significant part of the game). Sounds like I will enjoy this game as much as the first one, which was not that much. Wait for steep sale for me.

I know when I get my PS5 I will never go back to the 4, and so I really want to finish all the games I have bought first, and... it's taking me a bit longer to do than I thought.

I always upgrade mid-generation so that there's at least a few games I want that are on sale on a regular basis. Add to that that I need to get a new TV also for the PS5 Pro's upscaling tech. I have the money to get these things but I always have a hard time making myself do it. What do I do with my giant old TV that still works but no one will buy?

I can't believe people still eat that poison in this day and age knowing what we know about it.

I didn't like remake at all, though some of the art was nice. I found it tedious and the bad dialog didn't help. I found the combat system clunky and not much fun so I never played rebirth. Not much point in playing the 3rd installment at this point.

Well, he might be right in that there will be a large amount of money to be made on free-to-play games via a TV's native operating system, but gaming fans here won't be the target audience, it will be very casual gamers or people susceptible to gambling addiction. It seems like that kind of race to the bottom seems inevitable though. He might be wrong about Sony, who knows what they'll do with future markets, but he might be right about the future of gaming, sadly. Might be wrong too!

"The release’s inspirations run deep" is being excessively kind. I kinda hope they get sued.

I could see them messing it up with a super high price, pissing people off, but it will still be the biggest ever.

@kcarnes9051 We'll just have to agree to disagree about the "depth" of his character I guess.

@Northern_munkey Nope, just have a different opinion than you. I like the character but don't get the massive popularity. Maybe its because of the 2D nature of his character that people can project what they want to see in him? Dunno. If it's a 60 hour game with dialog consistent with the comics it's going to get repetitive real fast.

@rachetmarvel Solo comic or not he is written a little on the two dimensional side, he doesn't make for a compelling lead because of it, just my opinion.

Wolverine is a hard character to be the lead, he is more of a support character. I've deliberately avoided watching any videos so I can't speak to the violence, but I hope they justify it if it's really violent. Even the comics kept his violent nature restrained or at least out-of-frame.
