I can think of a few things I'd like to see for DLC but I'll probably be satisfied with what they come up with. FFXVI is one of my faves of the year so far.
Not pleased at all with the options. Luckily I still have Sea of Stars, Blasphemous 2 which I am playing and BG3 will be available in just over an hour, and then MK1 later on this month.
It was a good month for PS+ to offer forgettable titles for the essentials.
Have it downloading right now and am very much looking forward to my first experience with Baldur’s Gate 3, or Baldur’s Gate in general, tomorrow when I boot up my PS5.
@Mince Content leaves streaming services. It's not a problem with only PS+ as every streaming service is guilty of it, including GamePass. It's how they work.
@BeerIsAwesome I think a big part of it is leadership. Not just having the proper amount leaders for the size of the company, but just having quality leaders.
Have a big team and someone calling the shots who has no business doing so? Sure, I'll pull up a chair and watch the ensuing dumpster fire that'll come of it.
As much as I want to be into this I can't help but feel it's going to be mid at best. I hope I'm wrong, I really enjoyed Alan Wake when it first came out so I bought the remaster but it just didn't hold my interest like it once did.
@Pranwell no, that's not what I'm getting at. I see no point in you tagging me in your comment. It's irrelevant to me as I don't care how others spend their money.
Your last comment comes off as projection and I made absolutely no judgements of your character, you were the one triggered.
@themcnoisy "There are around 320 games on GP Ultimate. Today Sea of Stars, then Starfield, lies of P, forza Motorsport, cities Skylines 2, the next payday and persona strikers."
I claimed Sea of Stars through PS+, Lies of P I can just purchase for less than the cost of buying a new console and GPU, and Forza Motorsport and particularly Starfield are of no interest to me.
The idea of it having value to new customers, as always is entirely subjective. I looked through the entire GamePass collection and not one title grabbed my interest. I've already got tons of titles claimed through PS+ and that I've purchased filling up my backlog, I've already got a lot to work through.
Buying an Xbox and a subscription to GamePass has no value to me at this point if the only purpose it serves it so inflate my backlog and lighten my wallet.
I was teasing the idea of getting a Series X and GamePass but I honest-to-god can't find any titles on there worth playing.
Halo? Couldn't even finish the 2nd one because I lost interest. Gears? 4th one was boring as could be which was a downer because I loved the OG trilogy. Forza? GT7 has VR support. Couldn't care any less about Starfield or Bethesda in general, ABK hasn't made a game that's had my interest since Sekiro, and if combat in Hellblade 2 is anything like the first one, it's going to be very mid.
Anything else one there I either a) already own or b) is available on PS so no need to buy another console.
I must be one of the only people who aren't hyped for this. Alan Wake one was great when it first came out but I bought the remaster and can't be bothered to play it.
Same goes for Control. Got it for free but I felt myself losing interest very quickly. Interesting concept, just meh delivery.
Having never played AC, it’s not high on my list of games to buy. I do plan to get it at some point but there’s other games I’d rather be playing now, so I am.
Potato gonna potato, it’s a shame that series S gamers can’t experience split screen because it can’t handle it.
MS should have done what Sony did this gen and offer a discless version, it’d still be as powerful as the X and the devs wouldn’t have to make compromises just to launch their games.
Hopefully Phil Spencer and the folks at Xbox realize it was a mistake this gen.

Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for September 2023?
@Luvstagrind there's still plenty of people who would not want to play Starfield even if it were available on PS5, myself included.
As long as you're enjoying it what do you care what other people think?

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 492
This weekend I will be experiencing a Baldur's Gate game for the very first time thanks to early access!

@GeeEssEff likewise, cheers!
Re: PS5 Trophies for the Highest Rated Game of the Year Hit Sony's Servers
@GeeEssEff not as early as I thought, 1PM, which is fine, I still have Sea of Stars and Blasphemous 2 to hold me over.
There’s no shortage of games from now until 2024.

I've only made it past the first boss so far but I'm really enjoying it. Great addition to PS+!

Re: Alan Wake 2 Was Delayed on PS5 to Avoid Going Neck to Neck with Spider-Man 2
I must be one of the only people who aren't hyped for this. Alan Wake one was great when it first came out but I bought the remaster and can't be bothered to play it.
Same goes for Control. Got it for free but I felt myself losing interest very quickly. Interesting concept, just meh delivery.

Re: Baldur's Gate 3's Accidental PS5 Console Exclusivity Truncated as Xbox Backtracks
@Fiendish-Beaver
Potato gonna potato, it’s a shame that series S gamers can’t experience split screen because it can’t handle it.
MS should have done what Sony did this gen and offer a discless version, it’d still be as powerful as the X and the devs wouldn’t have to make compromises just to launch their games.
Hopefully Phil Spencer and the folks at Xbox realize it was a mistake this gen.
Re: Baldur's Gate 3's Accidental PS5 Console Exclusivity Truncated as Xbox Backtracks
@PixelDragon “At this point I don't know if it really is a complete lack of understanding the obvious difference or just blatant trolling.”
The answer is both. It’s both.
Re: Baldur's Gate 3's Accidental PS5 Console Exclusivity Truncated as Xbox Backtracks
@Al3 good for the Switch, I don’t care but good for it and still doesn’t change the fact that the series S is a potato and holding back this gen.
Devs shouldn’t have to compromise their vision to account for weaker hardware.
Re: Baldur's Gate 3's Accidental PS5 Console Exclusivity Truncated as Xbox Backtracks
@Sil_Am couldn’t agree more.
Re: Baldur's Gate 3's Accidental PS5 Console Exclusivity Truncated as Xbox Backtracks
@UltimateOtaku91 wasn’t the Series S the reason why Gotham Knights was only hitting 30fps across all consoles?
Re: Baldur's Gate 3's Accidental PS5 Console Exclusivity Truncated as Xbox Backtracks
Xbox Series S, the console of compromise.

Re: Poll: Are You Sold on PlayStation Portal?
@lightningbolt79 a lot of people didn’t want the RDR remaster but the sales of it tells us otherwise.
Re: Sony to Acquire Audio Tech and Headphone Specialist Audeze
@VaultGuy415 well then it sounds like PlayStation gamers can look forward to some premium audio products!
Re: Poll: Are You Sold on PlayStation Portal?
@XboxTheBestBox has username XboxTheBestXbox, claims not to be troll, constantly craps on everything Sony does.
Read the comments, people here do want this, it’s targeted towards certain gamers and it looks like it will find an audience.
Re: Poll: Are You Sold on PlayStation Portal?
@lightningbolt79 I prefer a wired connection anyway but then I also have no intention of buying this so I don’t care.
Re: Poll: Are You Sold on PlayStation Portal?
@lightningbolt79 what Sony charges for hardware? The PS5 and the series X are the same price where I live.
Re: Sony to Acquire Audio Tech and Headphone Specialist Audeze
@VaultGuy415 and your point? SIE is still Sony so what’s it matter if it’s the mothership or SIE?
