@dancingmind On your profile, click into either your worldwide or country rank.

On the next screen, you'll see a header near the top, towards the right, saying 'All platforms - PS5 - PS4 PS3 - Vita -VR - Multiplatform'.

Click any of those to get to the platform-specific leaderboard. You'll see your world rank and domestic rank next to the 'Cheaters removed' number above the leaderboard, on the left. Now click into that domestic rank to be taken to the relevant page of the leaderboard you're currently sat on.

Aaaaaaand only once I typed this all out did I realize you figured it out already. Damn. In my experience, it's all spammers. Check the guys directly above and below you on the leaderboard. Can almost guarantee both have spammed Rata games.

@jdv95 surely Tomb Raider outsold those three in lifetime series sales - possibly multiple times over.

Just Cause is as good as dead anyway after their rinky-dink New York studio botched 3 and saw 4 undersell badly.

Loved the trilogy, even if H3 underdelivered. Peak was Hokkaido for me. Looking forward to the new DLC map.

Has been the case for years and years. On PSNProfiles, I'm in the top 100 of Vita players in my country, but everyone around me on the leaderboard has 30+ ten minute RatalaikaPlats.

Frustrating, but it is what it is. Sony sees money from these 'games' so of course they're happy to let them onto the store.

Are we officially going to chuck Battlefield in the 'failed' bin? Not that I disagree.

Even with five years of Premium, I don't think I'll ever touch this one. Just doesn't tickle my pickle.

Another zero redemptions month for me, sadly. Madden 22 instead of FIFA 22 would have been fantastic.

Hope that everyone who is happy with this selection will enjoy their time playing the games.

Nothing but I suppose I'll start Everybody's Gone To The Rapture on Monday or Tuesday. Gotta put those five stacked years of PS Now to good use.

@Kooky_Daisuke That's one of this summer's monthly PS5 games for Plus Essential sorted then. Paired with Dead Multiplayer Game #537 and Niche Sports Title 202X on PS4 no doubt.

And it only took, what, 500 abused Singaporean workers? The hard-working and highly skilled workforce of that country deserves so much better.

Honestly surprised other big publishers haven't opened shop on Pulau Ujong to take advantage, but then maybe that is for the best.

looks at fat stack of physical Vita games

Mmmh, not like I am ever going to sell most of them, but... good stuff. Think I have everything I need apart from Yomawari Night Alone, which I never did buy. Maybe the Euro version of Persona 4 Golden as well, for some reason the copy I bought in the UK is for the US (separate Trophy lists, so worth owning both). If Sony is going to stick the knife in, then at least give us one more period of respite to finish up buying everything.

No Trophies, no play.

One day I will take Sony to court for frying my dopamine receptors.

I turn my PS5 off, but leave it plugged in. Does that consume anything at all? Tiny little bit right?

Another month of three swings and three misses for me - not going to redeem any of them. Madden instead of Fifa would have been swell.

Not that I'm too mad. I view Plus membership as a monthly lottery ticket. At times you luck out, but usually there's no win beyond the anticipation and thrill of the reveal/leak date approaching.

@Scob I invested in Now until March 2027, even though I had never subscribed previously. Quite the caper.... if the unrevealed list of games turns out to be decent.

Something interesting to consider; I'm one of the guys who loaded up on Now subscriptions to get Premium at a reasonable price. My email tells me I get access to the 400+ PS4/5 games and 300+ PS1/2/3 games. So, any rumours that Now subscribers / loophole exploiters get shafted in terms of the tiers can hopefully be consigned to the rubbish bin

Such a shame that it has to be this way.

@Curien98 thank you, that was extremely helpful. Finally have my answer!

Can someone explain 'suffer like G did' to me? Saw it previously as a Trophy for the zombie minigame in Lost Judgment, this a reference to something?

What I want; anything with Yakuza in the title

What I will get; dead-on-arrival multiplayer game from two years ago, cheap PS5 indie game, and either a sports game or a forgotten budget title that's already on PS Now.

Trophies are the only thing I need to be happy. Having different icons on profiles to show what tier of Plus you are on would be nice too but ultimately trivial compared to a fat load of Platinums.

If you didn't tell me what movie that article header image was from, I wouldn't have a clue frankly.

Not gonna lie, this is quite a blatant case of.... uh... being inspired by something.

SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Anyone taking bets on when the servers for this go offline? I'll stick a tenner on 2024.

Need to see everyone single Yakuza game (or at least up until Judgment) on there so I can leave a few of my copies shrink-wrapped.

Sony left 12 month Now subscriptions up on my local PSN store. Those translate to Premium Plus subs from June onward. Bought five full years worth, because it works out to 5 Euro per month. Pretty happy with that, all things considered.

Four chapters for that price while the main game has, what, 14 chapters?

That being said, this is RGG Studio so they immediately get the benefit of the doubt.

It’s a “different SKU” = We couldn't "be bothered".

Yeah, the game's key art is all over local public transit. Mercifully all manner of cringe that was on there first, like Illumination's latest turgid 'cinematic' dropping, has been removed for it.

Too little too late. This game should never have shipped in 2020.

From the very first reveal I honestly couldn't care less, but I'm glad for everyone who will now (hopefully) get the properly functioning game they paid for.

All you dudes talking about graphics and I'm sitting here grinding kills in Far Cry 2 with a SCART rather than a HDMI cable. I am lost in time.

Look at the Trophies for Killzones 2 and 3, they've been needlessly including the requirements in the titles for well over a decade.

BIG.
MOMMY.

@Kidfunkadelic83 get Madden 18, nice and cheap with a reasonably enjoyable story mode. Maddens 21 and 22 are busted.

So.... do trophies unlock during the trial?

SEGA did just offload their arcades, although I'd prefer them to be independent forever. If someone really does have to buy them, then let it be Sony.

Not worth 85 bucks when I can play the game with a subscription for a month elsewhere :^(

Gorgeous Steelbook otherwise, glad they contracted a Japanese artist for this one.

Please for the love of God nobody buy SEGA. Only way I'll ever step away from gaming is if Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio's games go exclusive some place that isn't Playstation.

Couldn't care less about Destiny, feel like the money could have been better spent elsewhere. But I'm happy for PS Destiny fans.

Didn't care before release, still don't care now. Just never caught my fancy. Hope people finally get the game they wanted.

This sadly makes SEGA more interesting for takeovers by certain companies that would otherwise have no interest in the arcade business....

Can't wait to play the entire saga from Episode I to Episode VI!

@lolwhatno Not mine either, but we're all united in the face of hijinks like what Rockstar is pulling

@lolwhatno no, it's used correctly; clearly, what the customer deserved was up for debate at the Rockstar offices when you consider the final product.

One look at these character designs was enough to turn me off. Lucid are probably better off as support devs to Studios that have better vision and execution.

These wonderful games deserved so much better.
Arguably, so did the consumer.

I don't think I've ever bought a Activision game new in store (and never ever a Blizzard game in any way, shape, or form), so it's not like my choice of games as a Playstation owner is now becoming a lot slimmer.

But this is obviously a huge blow in the larger scheme of things. Sony cannot compete with Microsoft, and never will be able to. Economies of scale. Believe me on that, as someone who works in the Microsoft ecosystem. Keep doing your own thing, and rely on being who you are. Squenix or even SEGA are peanuts compared to Actiblizz, don't waste money on buying them in a blind panic.

Actually, maybe do buy SEGA because the Yakuza games going exclusive would actually bring me to tears.
