@Northern_munkey: Grinding or not when you are not paying for the microtransanctions sooner or later the base game is going to make you feel cheap and outdated.....you can only grind so much until you realize my words.
@Northern_munkey : Right... you don't have to purchase the microtransanctions but that means you will be playing with an interior version...do you like playing with inferior versions of the games?.....would you like other people to see you playing with an inferior version of the game?...I'm sure you don't.
That's exactly the reason these Free-to-Play games exist, to make sure you later on pay for what it should have been in the game from the beginning.
I'm shocked to see that none of those games would release on PSPlus and that's very disappointing as quite a few titles announced today will be releasing on GamePass Day 1.
@MikeOrator : I guess Sony could do that if they want to miss a massive amount of viewership...but once again Sony is not known for capitalizing in viewership as they keep ruining their own showcases and presentations as the latest disappointing State of Play has shown.
If the new PlayStation CEOs are smart they will take this opportunity to announce and show the PS5 Pro, otherwise it will be a waste of a perfect stage for advertisement and massive viewership
@KoopaTheGamer:
So is it ok for Sony to mislead people just because the circumstances doesn't affect you?
I wonder if that's how you would think of any other company misleading the consumers affecting you directly....right, you would be up in arms about it.
@DennisReynolds "its just in the age of DLC they don't need to sell you the same game again just with a few extra characters and new mode"
You mean like every single remake PlayStation is being releasing for the past 10 years?
Yes, Capcom is the worst by far, but Sony surely learned to be just as bad...I mean how many The Last Us remasters/remakes a human being can possibly need?
People supporting those LIVE-SERVICE games, more than single player titles.....that's already having a negative impact on how we game in spending more and owing less.
@Aladin_Run : I personally prefer to game on consoles, but it's actually cheaper to game on PC in the long run as their games go on sale far more often that it does on consoles.
With that said, the more PlayStation gets to release their superior ports on PC the more people are going to hold back to play them on PC instead.
Before it used to be years before the PlayStation PC ports now we have them being announced months later eventually it will be Day and Day simultaneous releases.
Everyone wins, PlayStation gamers get to play the games, Microsoft gets full revenue from PlayStation gamers and GamePass subscribers get to keep gaming for a fraction of the price.
@Juanalf : Live Service games are a slippery slope for the industry, you say "better have games like this as live service and leave the single player games/studios alone." but there's no stopping on where publishers are willing to draw a line, sadly any LIVE-SERVICE game success is and will be used on any franchise the more people support it.
It's business 101.
Not long ago 99% of most gamers were against pay-to-unlock content, but those same people are now embracing LIVE-SERVICE games which technically is the same model just with a different name... yes they make it look like you can have fun with the base game and not buy anything but how much fun can you possibly have with a game that its "cool" content is locked behind a paywall?
One way or another people cave into the additional purchases.

Re: We Heard You Like Dark Fantasy Action RPGs! So, Here's WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers on PS5
Another title I can't way to try on GamePass.
Re: Need Another Soulslike? Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn Attacks PS5 Next Month
Certainly checking it out on GamePass Day 1.
Re: Huge Free Fallout 76 Expansion Hopes to Capitalise on the TV Show's Success Next Week
This announcement was for sure one of the many pleasant surprises.
Kudos to Microsoft they indeed know how to put up a great gaming showcase.
Re: DOOM: The Dark Ages Rips and Tears Day One on PS5
Day on 1 at full price on PS5 and Day 1 on GamePass for Xbox.
Everyone wins!
Re: Some PlayStation Fans Are Losing Their Minds Over LEGO Horizon Being on Switch
Sony decides for a Switch release but NOT on PS4....ouch!
They first allow they characters in other systems and eventually their games.
It's inevitable for them to go fully multiplatform eventually.
Re: Round Up: What Was Announced at Summer Game Fest 2024?
@Kraven : I bet you do....on the other hand I prefer to travel or buy new gaming equipment with the money Gamepass saves me in a yearly basis.
But hey everyone is entitled to buy games they don't have to buy, right?

Re: Big Budget, Free-to-Play Looter Shooter The First Descendant Finally Drops in July on PS5
Another LIVE-SERVICE game?
No thank you.
Re: Black Myth: Wukong's Physical Editions Won't Have Actual Discs at Launch, Just Digital Codes
No discs??
Then I will wait until the digital version drops down to $14.99
Thank goodness for my backlog so no rush to buy anything these developers are poorly trying.

Concord...That game will honor the airline that once was.....going down in flames.

Re: Feature: Predict Summer Game Fest 2024 with Our 20 Question Quiz

Re: Final Fantasy 16 Patch 1.33 Makes Us Think the Frame Rate Will Never Be Fixed on PS5
Perhaps it will be fixed on the Xbox release.
Re: When Is Summer Game Fest Live Showcase 2024?
This on Friday and Xbox on Sunday the gaming world couldn't possibly be more entertaining.

Let's see how sharp those new CEOs really are....
Re: PS5 Packaging No Longer Mentions 8K, Some Fans Accuse Sony of False Advertising
@AdamNovice And people would use this opportunity to defend Sony's misleading practices.

Re: PS5 Packaging No Longer Mentions 8K, Some Fans Accuse Sony of False Advertising
Sony misleading people?
Is not the first time, neither the last.
But people will still defend Sony regardless as we clearly see on these comments.
Re: The Latest State of Play Was Completely Leaked, and It's a Growing Problem with YouTube
@The_Wailing_Doom : Or Xbox actually cares for their "World Premiers"
Re: Metal Slug Tactics Now Also Heading to PS5, PS4, Out This Year
Hopefully a GamePass or PSPlus day 1 release.
Re: PSVR2's PC Adapter Available on 7th August, Costs $60
HDR, HEADSET FEEDBACK, EYE TRACKING, ADAPTIVE TRIGGERS AND HAPTIC FEEDBACK WON’T BE SUPPORTED
In another words the PSVR2 on PC will be useless.
Re: The Latest State of Play Was Completely Leaked, and It's a Growing Problem with YouTube
It's an issue with Sony....The Xbox Showcase hasn't leaked so it goes to show how much security they got around the content.
Re: Reaction: PS5 Livestreams Are No Longer Speaking to the Fans Who Built the Brand
Shawn Layden was the last PlayStation CEO that actually cared for the gamers....No wonder PlayStation has lost that especial flare it had years ago.
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for June 2024?
Perhaps if it included a brand new release I would be.
Re: Big New PS5, PC Shooter Concord Has an Uphill Battle Ahead of It
@theSpectre: Do you know what the word showcase has in common with the words:
Presentation, display, exhibit, exposition, broadcast?
They are all the synonymous and mean exactly the same no matter how badly you want to dress it down by the State of Play poor reception.
Re: Big New PS5, PC Shooter Concord Has an Uphill Battle Ahead of It
One of the worst Sony showcases so not really shocked by this news.
Re: Latest State of Play Is One of the Worst-Received PS5 Shows Yet
Terrible State of Play.
Thankfully we get another gaming presentation this time around from Xbox in a few days.

Re: Rumour: Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake a 2025 Game, More News Soon
Expect more proper info during the Xbox Showcase in a few days!
Re: PS5, PC Fans Are Trying to Figure Out if Concord Is Free-to-Play
What was the point of this presentation if Sony can't even provide the most basic details such as what type of game this is....
Just throwing trailer out there without any context feels like we are going backwards in an era in which Sony should be far more forthcoming.

Re: Homelander Takes Centre Stage in Mortal Kombat 1 Gameplay Trailer
@DennisReynolds : That's why it was called Ultimate MK3 a whole different version, and not locked behind a paywall from the very beginning.
Re: Poll: What Did You Think of Sony's State of Play for May 2024?
Terribly a lackluster showcase.....waste of resources that could have been announced just on any site at any time.
Re: PS5 Players Are Buying Fewer New Games, But Spending More Than Ever Overall
People supporting those LIVE-SERVICE games, more than single player titles.....that's already having a negative impact on how we game in spending more and owing less.

Re: Homelander Takes Centre Stage in Mortal Kombat 1 Gameplay Trailer
Let me know when Mortal Kombat is no longer a money sucking LIVE-SERVICE game.
Whatever happened to those days in which games where shipped as a complete package with the option to play offline.
Good old days that won't come back as long as we keep supporting this outrageous trend.
Re: Sony Plans to Convert PC Gamers Through the Power of PlayStation
The other way around, us PlayStation gamers will eventually be converted to PC gamers with each superior port that releases on PC.
Re: Xbox Games Are Selling Gangbusters on PS5
Everyone wins, PlayStation gamers get to play the games, Microsoft gets full revenue from PlayStation gamers and GamePass subscribers get to keep gaming for a fraction of the price.
A total win-win situation!
Re: When Is PlayStation's State of Play?
@anoyonmus That's because the current PS5 is way overpriced....you see everything makes sense.
Re: When Is PlayStation's State of Play?
A PS5 Pro price announcement for $449.99 is the sweet spot otherwise it will be dead on arrival.
