@nomither6 I understand the social thing but there are other multiplayer games being released. I know someone who plays just Fortnite, Minecraft, GTA V and Forza Horizon 5 on Xbox and seldom with friends although does play Roblox occasionally with friends on PC. That is all they play and have done for years. They also watch the same few TV shows and movies over and over again. How do people not get bored of the same game after such a long time?
@Medic_alert The subscription services don't help the backlog either. You buy a new game and end up playing something on PS Plus or Game Pass instead before it leaves.
@AdamNovice I guess they are prioritising install base which for Japan is easily the Switch at over 36 million consoles which is about double the PS4 + PS5 in Japan. If they release worldwide then PS4 and PS5 would be more worthwhile.
@Max_the_German You can also purchase Astro's Playroom for free on the store. If they included free games then Fortnite and Roblox would likely be duking it out for the top spot.
Not too bad as it includes the season pass which is normally £28 although whoever is buying that at full price these days deserves to be fleeced of all of their money. There will be a sale after Xmas on this anyway.
Isn't everything on Fortnite overpriced? Everytime something new comes out to purchase on Fortnite the numpties seem too come out and chunter on the Internet and usually buy it anyway.
I think the execs have been watching too much tikitok and killed off their braincells with most of their decisions lately. I feel like I get more stupid after watching 10 minutes of tiktok if I can even make it through a video that is. How someone can.make.a.video less than 15 seconds be boring is an impressive skill.
I'm still not sure how this bigger and better sequel got a lower score than the first game it is better than. Clearly these bugs on all versions rip a few points from the score.
@Lowdefal I suppose the increasing price of the PS5 even before tariffs could be them subsidising the cost of the new console perhaps but if the console is to be more powerful than the PS5 Pro I can't see how else t could be cheaper.
@KundaliniRising333 It's still a teenager so not allowed to drink in some places. It's these teenagers that need remasters to bring them.up to speed in 2025 rather than the toddlers they tend to focus on at the minute.
Whenever I go clothes shopping I always think "this pullover will make my life more fun" and this applies to my microtransaction virtual clothing purchases too so I agree with Ubisoft on this one. This may contain sarcasm.
I would be tempted to play the game with these skins as I love stupid things in games but assume you have to buy the battle pass and then play for 300 hours to unlock what you have paid for within a one month window.
@Ooccoo_Jr Exactly this. In 2020 it was a PS/Xbox race but Nintendo does whatever it likes since the Switch so can take its time to have stock ready for a console.launch.
@Matroska I didn't check stock. I was just basing it on an article I read on this site last week. 75p interest is better in our pockets than Sony's though.
@Matroska They ran out of copies of Clair Obscur so people who wanted a boxed copy have to wait. The pre load thing is useful on a digital pre-order but you can't pre-load 5 months in advance. I believe you are charged straight away for digital. With interest rates as they are now you should earn a little bit of interest on that charge over 5 months if you waited.

Super Empty Ball.
Re: Talking Point: Did ANTHEM Deserve the Hate?
I enjoyed it and got my money's worth from it. It wasn't the best game ever but then there is only one of those and I don't think I have found it yet.
Re: Fans Wonder if The Game Awards' Big Finale Highguard Is Even Coming Out
They spent a lot of money on being the closer to the show and have blown their marketing budget on that reveal.

More games than ever being released on a daily basis and the same old games at the top.

Re: PS5 Sales Now Top 84.2 Million Units, Well on Way to 100 Million Milestone
@Max_the_German You can see it on the PS Store on a browser for free while logged out so you don't need a PS5.

Re: Battlefield 6 Is a Smash Hit in First Sales Report, Selling Best on PS5
82% despite it not being on Game Pass.

Re: PS4's Record-Setting US Sales Pace Is Being Comfortably Beaten by Switch 2
They don't go head to head with Xbox so don't have to rush a console out without enough stock to meet demand.

Re: PS6 May Go Uncontested as Rumours of Next-Gen Xbox Cancellation Spiral
Without a new Xbox i can see a $1000 PS6 on the cards.
Re: Xbox Squandered Over $300 Million Putting Call of Duty in Game Pass
I don't think the split is that different for games that aren't on gamepass like the annual sports games. It's not like it is 50/50 for those games.
Re: Fans Left Speechless as Capcom Locks Street Fighter 6 Finals Behind Paywall
I am guessing they are testing this to see how it goes down. If they do it again it will show that the people complaining are in the minority.
Re: Romeo Is a Dead Man Gives Wolverine PS5's Gore a Run for Its Money

Re: Rumour: Leaked PS6 Specs Reveal Affordable, Power Efficient Next-Gen Console
Will they finally stop supporting the PS4 by the time the PS6 comes out or will the be supporting 3 gens then?

As much as I will enjoy this, Clive needs to crack on with The Art 3 and finish the Abarat quintet.

Diablo 4 not available for purchase but I can add it to my wishlist. I can buy the Vessel of Hatred bundle though.
Re: Bungie Delays Marathon Indefinitely, No New PS5, PC Release Date Given
Concord's two weeks now seems like a lifetime compared to this which will likely never even get to release now.

Re: Poll: How Would You Rate State of Play for June 2025?
Very good. Romeo is a Dead Man being the big highlight for me. Minimal exclusives it seems so a good show for everyone.
Re: State of Play Confirmed for 4th June, 40+ Minutes of PS5 Games
@Member_the_game They just need to announce all their game prices under the Mario Kart World RRP to steal Nintendo's thunder.
Re: Despite Black Panther Cancellation, EA Is Still Making Three Games with Marvel
Until they get cancelled one by one as well.
