Everything related to the video game industry is so gloomy, negative and tiresome... and the future is NOT looking any better.

This strangling push from companies to extract the maximum amount of revenue and money and value from their customers to appease to shareholders and show record profits, while laying off their workforce and make ***** anti-consumer decisions... so exhausting.

At this rate what's the point in being REMOTELY interested in video games? In reading the news? In even considering buying a console or games? The worst part is that they don't care and they know people will buy either or. Well, congrats Sony, don't count me in to sponsor these pieces of c**p practices, I'd much rather touch grass and find more affordable and peaceful hobbies.

Edit: Typo.

People really let companies get away with whatever they want. Mindless consumerism.

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.

Hard pass. Though I wish they gave more details about it.

How is your game differentiating from the other open world games out there?

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.

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.

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.

Well deserved, can't wait to play this one!

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.

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.

@Valgore Amen to that!

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.

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

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

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.

Remember you vote with your wallets.

Ahh, the naked man. Works 2 out of 3 times.

It's a great game with great characters. Glad they could turn it around.

Bloodborne. That's it.

@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.

Both TLOU2 and Endgame: All show no substance (And bad writing).

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.

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.

Could not get past through the first couple of episodes. This is not for me honestly.

I believe in Bloodborne supremacy.

@ApostateMage Yes

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.

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.

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.

Great ad.

@nomither6 PREACH! No more boring stealth segments, just Spidey all day all night please!

This trailer got me so hyped, can't wait!

I really wish I hadn't renewed my PS + subscription one more year.

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.

Great, please Bloodborne next (we can only hope).

Played a couple of hours already and I'm loving it. There's a huge potential for this game.

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.

Love this franchise and I keep getting back at SOR 4, hopefully the movie will make it justice.

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.

This is exactly what a shady company would say.

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.

Not really interested in any of these games.

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 😂

Unacceptable, especially coming from a $69 game.

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!

Even though I don't particularly like the Harry Potter IP and its universe, I gotta say this game looks cool.

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.

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!
