Oh wow, the memories this one brings me. I remember not having a PS1 Memory Card, so I tried to play the whole thing in one sitting (never completed it). Years later went back to it through emulation and damn, It did feel great completing it. A classic!
Bloodborne is a masterpiece. The best PlayStation 4 game and the only game I have ever platinumed. It would be great if we were treated to either a remake or a remaster, everyone should be able to play it.
Game was fun, I played a handful of matches, thought it had potential. Then I realized how much of a GRIND it was to unlock the battle pass, and I just do not have the time to do so, nor want a game to become my second job.
Yeah I don't think I'll ever bother with this game. In my case, I can only dedicate so many hours to gaming; if I'm going to pay $50-$70 for a game and put decent hours on it, it MUST be a GOW:R-tier game. I won't settle for less at that price range.
Currently 30 hours in (New Gen update) and I'm loving it. The setting, story, lore, side missions, characters, everything is so compelling, makes me wanna get lost in Night City. Looking forward to this DLC.
These companies know their target, know the sheer desire of immediate gratification they crave for, that they are willing to pay $70 (sometimes even more), that they don't care because they rarely rationalize their purchases.
Still, in the end it is all about how much a certain group of people is willing to pay for a game (whether that choice is behind a thought process or not). Very few will think it through and wait until the price really matches what they are willing to pay for.
@Discol76 Push Square is one of the best Playstation sites around, and I love reading their articles and the comments section, so of course I´m around here writing my opinions. Even if I keep losing interest in Playstation.
The fact that I know I won't be able to get a hold of a PS5 where I live for MSRP, and that the stock issue isn't getting any better, makes me lose a lot if interest in all playstation-related. Plus all decisions Sony has made lately.
Sadly, this is expected, and won't be the last MP game to shut down servers. Sometimes I feel like there's just not enough time to keep up with one multiplayer game, let alone several...It's tough to retain a player base with just so many options out there.
I genuinelly smiled when I noticed the Saw Cleaver from Bloodborne. One of the best Playstation games ever and the amount of love it gets even 7 years later will never be enough.
I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed about the amount of shows/TV/streaming platforms lately, those shows would have to be Top Tier in order to get me interested. A day only has 24 hours, and we all have a lot of things to do.
No interest in PS1/PS3 games, so I'll go with the Extra tier. I'm suscribed to PS plus until May next year, I'm interested to see how much more will I have to pay in order to upgrade to PS Plus Extra.
I'm far more interested in new IPs and experiences, but boy did I enjoy playing FF7R and looking at how great Midgar was recreated, even better than I imagined it was when I played the original as a kid.
Right now there's nothing in either of the two premium tiers that justifies upgrading my current subscription. I respect those who find value in nostalgia, but I'd rather have fresh, new experiences. Good for the consumer though, more options mean more satisfied customers.
Totally deserved. The wait was worth it and Elden Ring lived up to the hype: I can see myself spending a huge amount of hours until total completion. Congrats, Fromsoft!
10/10 , to say that I love it is an understatement. Ever since I played Bloodborne, I always chase that feeling of overcoming diffcult bosses and areas, and of course Elden Ring delivers + the sense of exploration and adventure.

Re: In the UK, PS5 Pro Has Already Completely Sold Out
People really let companies get away with whatever they want. Mindless consumerism.

Re: FromSoftware Boss Twists the Bloodborne Knife, Says It's 'A Special Game for Me'

Re: Job Listing Confirms EA's Black Panther Game Is Open World
Hard pass. Though I wish they gave more details about it.
How is your game differentiating from the other open world games out there?
Re: Bloodborne PS5 Running at 60fps a Welcome Sight for Old Hunters
A 60 FPS Bloodborne patch would make me buy a PS5 no questions asked. It's the best game I have ever played. Glad the modders are doing God's work.
Re: Mini Review: Final Fantasy IV Pixel Remaster (PS4) - The Gripping RPG That Rocked Square's Series
My favorite 2D FF of all time! I'll pick this one up for sure.

Fantastic game and well deserved. You can see all the love devs put into it.

Well deserved, can't wait to play this one!
Re: Final Fantasy 7 Remake Producer Says Narrative Changes 'Necessary' to Keep Players Interested
I agree that nostalgia can only take you so far, but I also did not like the Kingdom-hearts-esque approach they are taking with the remake.

Props to GOW: R but Elden Ring is my #1.

Will there be a separate article in PushSquare about Elden Ring winning GOTY?

Both TLOU2 and Endgame: All show no substance (And bad writing).
Re: Marvel's Spider-Man PC Wall Climbs Up the Steam Best-Sellers List
It's a matter of time until exclusives take less and less time to be ported to PC. Sony knows there's a lot of money there to be made.
Re: Square Enix Spits on the Spirit of Final Fantasy 7 with Cloud NFT Figure
SE leadership has a serious problem. You can't be this disconnected from the world and your fanbase while running a big company as SE is.
Re: First Impressions: Resident Evil Netflix Deviates from the Games But Still Entertains
Could not get past through the first couple of episodes. This is not for me honestly.
Re: Soapbox: I Tried So Hard to Like Elden Ring, But I Just Couldn’t Do It

Perfect, as it should.

Crash 4 is great news, as I've been wanting to play it for a while now but buying was not on my plans for now.

Re: PS Plus June 2022 PS5, PS4 Games Announced
I really wish I hadn't renewed my PS + subscription one more year.
Re: Poll: Do You Care About PlayStation TV Shows?
I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed about the amount of shows/TV/streaming platforms lately, those shows would have to be Top Tier in order to get me interested. A day only has 24 hours, and we all have a lot of things to do.
Re: Rumour: PS5 Exclusive Returnal Likely Heading to PC Soon
Great, please Bloodborne next (we can only hope).
Re: Hands On: MultiVersus Leans on Fantastic Cast of Characters in Entertaining Smash Clone
Played a couple of hours already and I'm loving it. There's a huge potential for this game.
Re: Poll: Are You Sold on PS Plus Extra or Premium?

Re: Streets of Rage Movie in the Works, Written by John Wick Creator
Love this franchise and I keep getting back at SOR 4, hopefully the movie will make it justice.

Re: Rumour: PS Plus PS5, PS4 Games for April 2022 Leaked Early
Not really interested in any of these games.
Re: Poll: Did You Buy Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin?
I will buy it once the price drops down. I know I'd have a great time playing this based on the memes and the clips I've seen so far 😂
Re: New Gran Turismo 7 Patch Lowers Currency Rewards, Fuelling More Microtransaction Criticism
Unacceptable, especially coming from a $69 game.

Even though I don't particularly like the Harry Potter IP and its universe, I gotta say this game looks cool.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Elden Ring?

Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Games for May 2021?
Neither of these are my cup of tea to be honest. I'm not complaining though, I've had a solid year so far with PS+, can't win them all!
Re: Genshin Impact Gets 8 Minutes of 4K, 60FPS Gameplay on PS5
I wish they made a sequel as a proper AAA full game without MTX, it has a lot of potential. Ah yes, a man can dream.
