No thanks. The very few good games in those that are worth getting, I already have. The rest are still far too expensive, especially for a digital copy I can't resell.

Those machines are 5 years old at this point. Not only do the last 2 price increases shouldn't have happened, but the price should have gone down. Even with tarrifs and ram price increase, there is no way those machines are that expensive to produce, they're 5 years old, it's basically ancient at this point.

Here is the real reason price are increasing and not decreasing: Pure greed.

At this point, they're trolling people who want RDR2 60fps on purpose.

@Balie3000 PS2 more doable? Are you kidding? It's actually a joke. Any computer that was released in the last 10 and even maybe 15 years can do it perfectly. I have an old lenovo t480 around and it can do it perfectly and that doesn't even have a dedicated gpu.

I didn't care about it when it released originally, I still don't give a **** even in 2025. Unless it's Forza Horizon, I literally don't care about anything Microsoft does.

I will believe it when it's actually released.

I got Ninja Gaiden 2 Black for 40 CAD.

Let's be realistic: It's just not as good as GTA or RDR, which is why it hasn't happened.

I don't see why people are hyping this. It looks mediocre at best.

They should use the same disc drive as the PS5 and PS5 Pro, that way we wouldn't have to buy another one and you'd be able to find them more easily if you don't have one.

I returned the game to amazon for a full refund. Performance is bad. Otherwise it was a solid game from what I played. I will get it again down the line at 50-75% off after a ton of patches.

They could actually reduce the price if they wanted, the components don't cost nearly as much as they did in 2020. The console cost a lot less to manufacture. They're just greedy and using tariffs as an excuse. Same for Nintendo and Microsoft.

They really don't want to give us Tales of the Abyss ...

No thanks, it's not for me. It just looks so bad.

This looks better than 90% of the AAA trash that releases today, especially the stuff Ubisoft and EA releases.

AA and indies are the future, AAA actually need to die. Rising production costs are killing AAA studios anyway, it will happen sooner or later after 1 or 2 flops. AA and indies will be all that remains and it's a good thing.

This actually looks like an easy and straightforward platinum, unlike the mainline games.

@RoomWithaMoose Except for Mario Party Jamboree, the upgrade pack doesn't upgrade the resolution and framerate of the Switch 1 content. Jamboree TV is 1440p, but the rest of the game is still 1080p docked and 720 undocked. In fact, the upgrade for Jamboree is not worth it.

As for the The outer worlds 2, it's not even worth pirating. The first one was bad and I doubt Obsidian are good enough to have improved on anything.

I found the demo rough around the edges. Will get on heavy discount unlike THPS1+2 which I got at launch and was perfect.

Plus removing THPS4 career mode didn't help.

Had tony hawk preordered, but then I played the demo a few days ago and found it to rough around the edges. It didn't play right, unlike Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1+2 which was much better and perfect. It made me cancel my preorder, I will get it on heavy discount.

Them gutting the THPS4 career mode also helped with the decision.

PS: I compared the THPS3+4 demo to the THPS1+2 demo, not the full game.

Maybe they should actually produce more stock now so some of us can get a physical copy.

Atelier Yumia was good, but this definitely looks a lot better.

Still can't find a physical copy in Canada.

Still can't find a physical copy.

I cancelled my preorder. This went from must buy to absolute trash almost instantly. 30fps in 2025 is unacceptable.

@nomither6 30fps, no thanks.

No thanks, I would rather set my money on fire ... literally.

And people give Bethesda games 9/10 and 10/10 when they're filled with glitches and bugs like these, yet better games get trashed around and dragged through the mud for less.

I guess reviewers are either paid by Bethesda or they're going out of their ways to suck their **** for some reasons. But then again, the Bethesda fanbase is so dumb. They released Skyrim 5000 times and people probably bought it on all systems. Todd Howard must be laughing so hard.

I hope it has a 60fps mode. I don't want to play a game in 30fps in 2025.

I am waiting for it to be 50% off. Should take a month or two. Buying a ubisoft game at launch is stupid when they drop this fast.

As if releasing it on Xbox Series would have made a difference. The fanboys who wants it there clearly overestimate the importance of Xbox. It wouldn't even have registered in sales. In fact, porting the game there would likely cost more money than they would actually make.

Xbox fanboys don't even buy games anymore, they get it on gamepass. In this case, Gamepass would make SE lose money on those sales.

@OmegaStriver This is why on PC, you use ad blockers and on mobile, you use Brave. No ads.

No physical edition
Full price even though it's 4 years old
Need a Microsoft account to play

I wanted to buy it, but there is just too many things going against it.

I am not paying full price for a downgrade. I will get deluxe when it drops to 20$ or below.

I will wait until it's 40-50$ CAD for the complete edition. No way I am paying full price for a 4 years old game.

I've played them all, but this is obviously a spinoff and it doesn't seem important enough to play. I will get the next main game though.

Yet, AA games and indies are what will save the industry from doom. AAA games need to die as quickly as possible.

Of course, they're a third party publisher now, nothing more. If they try to release a Xbox next-gen, nobody is going to buy that *****. Also, releasing a handheld would be dumb, no one actually buy their consoles, why would they buy a handheld.

Why? You could still play all your digital games that were installed on your PS5. Hasn't affected me one bit.

Only thing that affected me was that you couldn't play on your portal.

This pretty much confirms it. Yes it appeared by error, but there wouldn't be any page that could appear by error if the game wasn't coming to PS5/PS4 at all. I am glad, I am not getting a third party game on Switch or Switch 2, performance is *****.

You mean there are still people who believe this guy's lies?

Instead of developers making games prettier and bigger and then wanting to charge more, maybe they should stop improving graphics and size and focus on literally everything else. If you keep making games better looking and bigger, your developments costs are going to go up further making the whole industry head into an obvious crash. Raising the price isn't going to work because most people don't want to pay higher than what they're already paying, so raising the price will results in fewer sales.

If anything, graphics and size need to scale back, not stagnate. Better hardware shouldn't be used to make games bigger and have better visuals if those said games still run like *****.

100m gamepass subscriptions? They're delusional considering this already peaked and won't go higher than it already is.

The thing was only worth it when you could get it for 1$ a month, otherwise it's garbage.

The only Microsoft game that even interest me is Forza Horizon 5 and State of Decay 3 (this is vaporware at this point, likely never coming out).

I don't give a ***** about any of those in this article.

I am not interested is what is obviously a spinoff title. I will wait for Like a Dragon 9

All the negatives except for the sinning system could also apply to Monster Hunter.

I've seen gameplay of this game when they released the translation patch. I don't see what people see in this game, it looks terrible.

In all the games nominated, it deserved it the less. It was full of glitches and the performance was terrible. To be honest, the story and gameplay are good, but inferior to the other nominees as well.

Sales doesn't mean you win. That guy is a pathetic loser.

Even that Elden Ring DLC deserved it better and as a DLC, it shouldn't even be eligible.

I will stay with Honkai Star Rail, no thanks.

I hope there is a sale on the portal.

I wish there was a sale on PS Portal.
