On PS5, they should just update base game with the new content.

Or bundle up the QoL changes with new content as affordable DLC.

No one wants to rebuy a full price game just for QoL & minor add-ons.

I'm of the opinion that every portable gaming device should be OLED.

The image quality is waaay better and it's more power efficient.

For a gaming portable, those are the two most important factors.

The price per part vs LCD per system is minimal. S2 and Portal should already be OLED.

But they aren't, because greedy suits want to maximize profit & sell you a 2nd system later.

I don't game on PC, but you can still get decent prices on pre-built systems that were manufactured months ago.

Walmart has a decent box for $799 during BF.

How much are they listing this for?

I bought this game for $5.99 during greatest hits (red label) sale.

Can't imagine a native PS5 version would be much better than PS4 on PS5 using BC.

The only way I would get this is if physical PS5 came with nice extras (CD, Art book).

The price is decent, but what about the physical release???

$450 is better spent on a PS5 - Nintendo abandons it's 'value conscience' mantle.

I was moderately interested (for my son), till the prices were revealed...

Family Friendly my A$$.

Hummm...didn't want to pay the voice actors?

Just bought Dragon Age for $24 on Amazon...that's why they were dumping it.

Might still keep it due to increasing cost of Essential, might drop service someday.

When I saw all the recycled content, I assumed this was free-to-play...

Or at least owners of the $40 ER DLC would get it for free, but nope.

It's another paid multi-player game that could be (will be?) DOA in no time.

I wonder if anyone at Xbox is second-guessing decision to exit console wars...

After Activision/Blizzard purchase, Xbox could have challenged Playstation.

But they surrender without a shot, while Sony blew their advantage on Live Service BS.

Is this a free upgrade on PS5?

Didn't know there was a native PS5 version.

Based on quick read of this article...

The base 2020 PS5 system did much more for PS4 games.

Because uncapped games for the old PS4/Pro now hit 60fps.

AI sharpening of 1080p games seem really pretty underwhelming by comparison.

Will probably get this game on Black Friday.

Square needs to optimize all versions better.

Just fixing the Pro (mostly) is lazy and disrespectful.

No wonder their overall games sales are down...

Only game that looked like Night & Day was FF7 Rebirth.

But I'm not spending $800 + tax, just to fix one game...

It takes almost a year for AAA games to be fully patched.

DD2 just got fixed and now they can fix FF7 Rebirth too.

This really shouldn't be more than $60. No Sale.

Etrian Odyssey collection is also vastly over-priced.

Least tedious way to kill the Blue Dragon is Poison Daggers.

The merchant in the tunnel of 4-2 sells them for 200 souls.

You need about 100 daggers, but every poison cycle does 900HP.

It's way easier than using spells or arrows for tiny damage.

For the Payers.

These 'Live Service' trainwreaks are why we're only getting old remasters from Sony.

Honestly, the game looked like 20-30M tops. Very generic...

If there is a Game Crash coming, pricey PS5 Pro is even more useless.

For the Payers...

The best message to send to Sony is 'No Sale'.

PSVR2 & PS5 Pro will sell very low numbers due to corporate greed.

Higher game prices will also lead to much lower sales than the past.

If PS4 Pro was 1 in 5...then PS5 Pro will only be 1 in 10.

It's literally twice the price ($810 w/ stand & drive) vs old PS4 Pro.

That's way, way too much money to be even remotely mass-market.

Doesn't the Base PS5 already do this?

Not even remotely worth it...

Terrible show: $700 (system) + $80 (disc) + $30 (stand) + Tax.

That's over $900 (!) for only a modest/questionable upgrade?

Even $700 for everything would be pushing it...

I don't like the whole detachable-drive Slim vibe, it's cheap looking.

My preference for Pro would be that phat OG PS5 with drive built-in.

Something this expensive & powerful should not be skinny or cheap.

I just got to the final fog wall yesterday, but decided to tie up some loose ends first.

Guess I should have pushed ahead with that OP Thorns spell, before it got nerfed...

Maybe for Digital owners? Does seem odd though...

I always assumed he was talking about the show...

As in, the show might change how non-gamers see games.

Alot of people still think gaming is either Mario or COD, not strong narratives.

Diablo 4 did the same thing. But yeah, it sucks.

I'm excited for what is essentially a 'Free Upgrade' on PS5...

But we should remember, this is Bethesda.

I'm expecting this thing to only half work or look just like the PS4 version.

The game biz is in such a weird place lately. Not good.

What many companies are trying to do isn't what customers want.

Like WB announcing more online clones after Suicide Squad flopped.

Or Rockstar only making one game every 10 years...

Also, I don't think people want a more expensive PS5 Pro.

I'm salty over buying the Switch version for $30.

That and the extra content won't be on Switch.

But if I'm being honest, game still looks like a Switch game.

Maybe I'll wait for the inevitable Switch 2 version...

I'm playing DS2 now and I love it.

Extra mobs (over base game) are just extra EXP.

Everytime I spot a fat Hippo guy, I farm it for souls.

Level design and art direction are really top notch (for 2011).

You start w/ fast travel, so everything doesn't have to loop back.

DS1 is like a methodical guitar riff, DS2 is more like the wild solo.

I think most people just plug them in at home overnight...

It's not super fast, but it still works fine.

Reminds me of 007 in Die Another Day, so cool...

They're missing a huge opportunity...if they don't let you drive the car with the controller.

Also, I thought PS5 was actually on-board as Car's CPU system...

For this kind of money, you shouldn't be getting janky Remote Play.

Day One....This is amazing!

Evertime I saw an update on the game, I was wishing for physical.

If I'm paying full price for a game, I want something on my shelf.

Games As Service bubble seems to be bursting.

Too bad Sony bought into the hype and got burned.

Some people internally at Sony will have to answer for this.

Meanwhile, MS will benefit tremendous from Activision buyout.

Activision is going to double profitability of Xbox game division.

I kinda hate this thing...it looks so cheap.

At $500, this thing seems pretty ridiculous.

PS3 Super Slim was ugly too, but it was also affordable.

Reduced build quality should really come with reduced prices.

Pro better have the drive built-in and all stands included.

This 'Slim' looks a bit cheapish & doesn't have a vertical.

Some people think the add-on drive will be noisy & vibrate.

Pro will be the next real Sony system, better be loaded...

I played some of this on 3DS and enjoyed to vibe.

The game has a mysterious energy and some good character designs.

I like how you fill in map as you explore and get bonuses for clearing areas.

But I never expected a remaster, because the game wasn't well reviewed.

3D was pretty good too, so I'd probably rather go back to it on 3DS though.

This game needs a physical release.

Remedy always finds a way to scam people...no thanks.

Like all that nonsense about how they 'couldn't' do Control upgrades.

Now they 'can't' possibly do a physical release for AW2. Whatever.

The worst part is paying $5 extra (in tax) per year of Essential...

That's BS, there's no tax on subscriptions..Sony just pockets it.

The hilarious coverage of Golem was more entertaining than the actual game. I'm disappointed we won't be getting any more game development from them.

At least they put out their game on a Physical Disc.

More reasons to never Day One a AAA game...

Why pay $70 for unfinished & unpolished games.

Those two lines of code will probably cost us $70...

If Xbox really has lost...

Then they shouldn't be doing any exclusives at all.

They're just wasting good games like HiFi Rush.

Gamepass doesn't work. It just kills sales across the platform.

No one on Xbox wants to buy anything anymore, it's dysfunctional.
