The Forza horizon games have all had their online shut down and been delisted after 5 to 6 years. So asking full price for a game that’s reaching its end of life is kind of a ***** move by Microsoft.
I’m still haunted by some of my poor decisions I made in fable 3, the sound of townspeople and villagers constantly vomiting from drunkenness is all I can hear when anyone mentions fable.
Kind of fishy that they didn’t compare prices between other digital storefronts and only went with physical but then again 0% doesn’t grab headlines like 47%.
Still flailing with my sword about in kingdom come deliverance 1, I think I kind of got the hang of the combat after 130 hours, but I still flub it up depending how many enemies are attacking me. Beyond that I might play a psvr2 game to mix it up.
I bought pirate yakuza because I’ve bought every Like a Yakuza at launch since 2, I don’t plan on playing it anytime soon because I'm at least 3 to 5 games behind.
I think Sony problem with their AA games wasn’t that the market disappeared but that no one bought them. I also don’t think the AA market has disappeared at all on the PS5 it’s booming. It’s just really hard to classify what counts as a AA game anymore.
I’ll be playing Kingdom come deliverance, The first one on my ps5. I took a seven year break from playing it so I ended up putting 15 hours in before realizing that the save I was using was missing about 30 hours of playtime. So that was fun. Other than that, maybe gunner’s heaven.
Sony could announce every game that’s in development for the next 10 years during a single state of play and the discourse would still be negative. I’ve stopped caring what the allegedly hard-core opinion is at this point because usually it’s just miserable for the sake of being miserable.
It didn’t impact my gaming plans. I just continued playing the game I was playing. most of the online features that I use were back up for me after 10 hours.
Getting near the end of banishers. once that’s done I’ll probably be resuming the first kingdom come deliverance after a 5 year hiatus, so it should be fun being thrown into the mid point with no clue how to do anything anymore.
Usually a couple of weeks to a month if I don’t get burnt out. On a good gaming day I can usually manage 3 to 4 hours as a middle ager. I will also drop the difficulty down if I feel the game is dragging on for to long, this is something I would never I done when I had young thumbs and a stronger bladder.
I’ll be playing banishers, I’m liking it so far even though the gameplay side of things kinda suck. I’ve been playing games that I’ve been meaning to play for years recently, I beat blue stinger a few days ago so I think I’m gonna play either snatcher or omikron next.
It’s been 20+ years since I’ve done a proper play though so I’m down for a skies remaster, just hope it gets a physical release that doesn’t involve limited run games.
I’ll be playing Star Wars outlaws, near the end but have some trophy run around to do. Finished Indiana Jones and the staff of kings yesterday, it was fun jank so I’m looking to play more fun jank, blue stringer, or rent a hero are the likely candidates. Also Luigi’s mansion two.
I wasn’t expecting Veilguard to be an action JRPG but I had a lot of fun playing it and it’s my second favourite game of the series. It’s disappointing to see that it didn’t do well but the market for single player games is diminishing and a sizeable chunk of the remaining audience seems to be miserable c***, so not that surprising I guess.
I’ve played through the first 2 levels of king’s staff, it’s kind of fun, lots of jank and a little bit terrifying if you do anything but glance at the character models, I think Indie‘s eyes are just a white and brown smear texture
I’ll be booping every enemy on the head instead of killing them that I possibly can in Star Wars outlaws on the 5pro and will be continuing my slog through Luigi mansion 2 on switch.
I miss the days when nobody pretended to care about Sonys first party output and just played the billion others games that got released on PlayStation.
My TV’s decided that it no longer wanted to live so I upgraded to a 55 inch 120 Hz VRR enabled television, so I’ll be playing the most graphically intensive new ps5 release that I possibly can, Ys the oath of falghana!
Also sims 4 on lappytop and Luigi’s mansion 2 on switch.
I bought it. I haven’t gotten around playing it yet but every time I look at the box art I think it’s a totally new character and not Max. I would say that probably didn’t help but after scrolling through some comments, it seems life is strange has a miserable fan base so probably that more so.
I’m sure if gorilla announced the new IP tomorrow the same lot of people will be raging about that to just like they did with intergalactic, they’re just a bunch of sh*t birds
The only game on the list I played was indika, it was fine and the only other indie game I finished this year was Loretta which was good, so Loretta is the indie of the year for me I guess.

Re: PS5 Fans Are Desperate for a Physical Version of Xbox Game Forza Horizon 5
For a game that’s going to be delisted in a couple of years no physical option is a real downer

Re: Poll: What Were Your Favourite PS5 Games from State of Play?
