Honestly I'd rather not cheapen my trophy list with Platinum's like this. I'd rather 100 or so trophies that took actual effort than 1000 padded with crap like this.
I'm seeing comments both for and against "crunch" while I sit somewhere in the middle. I think it's a necessary evil in an industry where deadlines matter so much but also shouldn't reach the level of it being the normal day to day.
If it's a free upgrade for those who own it I see no issue.
I'm all for humour in news articles but this actually came off more bitter for the sake of being bitter than tongue in cheek.
@JoeNobody This kinda comment helps nobody. They’re a business not your friend, if they’re doing something scummy they should be criticised and called out on it.
I wish they gave the retro collection more love because 1 or 2 additions per month is far from ideal for their “premium” service. P5R is a good addition but I wish they’d consider the PSP Persona games too.
This is really scummy as is but would be really scummy if a genre you show a lot of interest in has higher pricing because they know you’ll pay it. AC Unity is £3.24 on my end btw.
One I'll pick up down the road because the HD2D remakes kinda burned me out of the series for a little bit. Now a DQ8 remake would be day one even with burnout.
Pretty poor sale for me personally, it's just newer stuff I'd rather wait for deeper sales for or stuff that's in every sale that's pretty safe to leave till I actually want to play any. I was hoping Fantasy Life i would finally get a drop, I'm still salty my preorder at £30 got cancelled when it went digital only.
Only ever refunded Cyberpunk on PS and it took forever so I’m glad it’s streamlined now. That being said I’ll probably never use this unless a game I buy gets added to Plus within the two week period and I somehow haven’t downloaded yet.
The worst game I've played on a PS console by a long shot.
It could be somewhat fun with friends but good luck finding them in such a huge map where everything looks the same and all the signs are in Russian. The looting is boring because all the buildings are copy paste and empty most of the time.
I prefer to just use my games consoles to game. It takes one button press to get to the apps on my smart TV and I don't have to keep my PS5 running for any longer than it needs to be, it feels like its just asking for it to die sooner.
While all three seem good at what they’re trying to achieve none of them are my cup of tea unfortunately. Hopefully the mid month Extra/Premium drop offers me something more tempting.
Only reason I got Premium was becuase it was only £5 extra in the sale but boy has that sucked most of the time. Eiyuden and Katamari interest me at least plus I'm playing GTA so I at least got my monthy fee's worth.
My PS Plus runs out next month and I think I’ll hold out and just pick up the odd month here or there when I have nothing to play. I don’t play online anyway and I’ve pretty much exhausted all I want to play on the service atm.
Makes all the complaints about the Switch 2 price seem stupid. Nintendo will still have the cheapest top end option by some margin and you can almost guarantee a Lite equivalent eventually too.
I’ve wanted to play Prince of Persia so I’ll at least give that one a go other than that a pretty weak month outside of my slight curiosity of Captain Tsubasa.
Poor move when PS4 releases are still happening in big numbers. Won’t effect me much because I have PS5 but it’s still a bad move and weakens the service.

Re: 60+ PS5, PS4 Games to Buy in PS Store's Refreshed Spring Sale (North America/Europe)
I picked up Danganronpa 1.2 Reload which is at all time low right now at £3.49/$3.99 previous sales had it at over a tenner.

Re: Obscure GBA Genre Mashup Returns on PS5, But It's Not Cheap
If this was an indie game inspired by a GBA game you'd probably say £16 is cheap.
Re: 'The Solution Is to Get Rid of Consoles': Analyst Predicts $1,000 PS6 and a Transition to Game Streaming
Does anyone still take this fraud seriously?
Re: Re-Releases Go Too Far with New PS5 Version of Darksiders 1
If it's a free upgrade for those who own it I see no issue.
I'm all for humour in news articles but this actually came off more bitter for the sake of being bitter than tongue in cheek.
Re: School Girl JRPG Series Blue Reflection Getting Massive PS5 Overhaul, Including Mobile Game Remake
These games are better than the review scores they get.
Not as good as Gust’s other work but still decent enough 7/10 experiences.
Re: New Free FIFA Game Pits Greek God Zeus Against Argentinian Icon Diego Maradona, Will Come to PS5
Still weirdly not the most embaressing thing FIFA has done recently seeing as they gave the orange one a peace award.
Re: PS Plus Essential Game for April 2026 Leaked
The word Soulslike took away any interest I had for it. That genre just isn't my cup of tea because it always feels like it doesn't respect my time.

Re: PS5 Players Could Get Compensation as Sony Slammed for Monopolistic Practices in UK Court
@cragis0001 I mean the amount.
We will probably get a free game or a month of Plus.

Re: Poll: Has PS5's Dynamic Pricing Debacle Changed Your Relationship with the PS Store at All?
I’ll probably check previous sales prices a little more but can’t see me buying from it less.
Re: 8 PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for March 2026 Announced

P5R is a good addition but I wish they’d consider the PSP Persona games too.
Re: PS5 Players Could Get Compensation as Sony Slammed for Monopolistic Practices in UK Court
As a UK gamer I’d take the £162 but no way is that actually gonna happen.
Re: Rumour: PS Plus Extra Tipped to Add Two Giant PS5 Games This Month
I wanted to try Dragons Dogma 2 but never enough to actually buy it.
Hopefully this is true.
Re: Some PS5 Users Really Are Paying More for Their Games on PS Store Than Others
This is really scummy as is but would be really scummy if a genre you show a lot of interest in has higher pricing because they know you’ll pay it.
AC Unity is £3.24 on my end btw.
Re: Dragon Quest VII Reimagined (PS5) - A Tip-Top Remake of a Once Tedious RPG
One I'll pick up down the road because the HD2D remakes kinda burned me out of the series for a little bit.
Now a DQ8 remake would be day one even with burnout.

Anyway, N gets my vote.

@TrannosaurusBex @Michael2008ish I can back them up, I got offered 25% off when my sub was almost done earlier this year.

Re: PS Plus Essential Games for September 2025 Announced
Great month if I didn’t own 2/3
Re: Claim This Free PS5 Game in PS Store Cock Up
Not really my kinda thing even for free.
I hope it isn’t one of next month’s games up early by mistake.
Re: Sony's Convoluted PS Store Refund Process Has Finally Been Streamlined
Only ever refunded Cyberpunk on PS and it took forever so I’m glad it’s streamlined now.

Re: PS Plus Overloads DayZ's Servers and Causes Connectivity Issues
@Bunchesopuppies This game makes Goat Simulator look like Baldurs Gate 3.

Re: Sony Says PS5 Is the Best Place to Watch in TV Centric Ad
I prefer to just use my games consoles to game.

Re: Sony's Huge Days of Play Sale on PS5 Consoles, Games, PS Plus Subs Starts Next Week
My Plus runs out on the 5th so hopefully I can’t get the discount.
Re: Surprise Dragon Quest 3 Remake Patch Includes Loads of Welcome Improvements
Currently playing it going for the Platinum so nice timing.
Re: At Least Sony's New PS2 Classic Has a Platinum Trophy on PS5, PS4
My PS Plus runs out next month and I think I’ll hold out and just pick up the odd month here or there when I have nothing to play.

Re: PS5 Pro Is No Longer the Most Expensive Console You Can Buy
Makes all the complaints about the Switch 2 price seem stupid.
Nintendo will still have the cheapest top end option by some margin and you can almost guarantee a Lite equivalent eventually too.
Re: Xbox Now Selling PS5 Games for $80, Joins Switch 2 in Price Increase
I think this was always inevitable but Nintendo just moved first.
Fully expect Sony releases next year to follow suit.
Re: Marathon a 'Premium', Paid for Game on PS5, But It's Not $70
Wake me when it’s added to Plus.
Re: Remember to Get These 80+ PS5, PS4 Deals Before the Spring Sale Refresh
Finally bought Baldurs Gate 3 last week and it definitely lives up to hype.

Re: Disc Rot Already Afflicts Your Physical Game Collection
By the time/if my discs fail the digital versions will either be dirt cheap or I’ll not care about playing it anymore.

@Splash_Woman The 2011 outage lasted over three weeks so you better hope its not like that.

I guess some basement dwelling edgelord wants to cause chaos again.
Re: Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 (PS5) - Immersive Knight Sim Makes for a Peerless RPG
I'll probably wait for a deep sale because i'm not too big on WRPG's but I'm glad to hear this is a good one.
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for February 2025 Announced
2 games I’ve been wanting to play so best month in a while for me.
Re: Sony to Mostly Drop PS4 Games from PS Plus Starting January 2026
Poor move when PS4 releases are still happening in big numbers.
Won’t effect me much because I have PS5 but it’s still a bad move and weakens the service.
Re: Sony Patents Predictive AI Button Presses, So You Don't Have To
I hope enabling it makes trophies not pop at least.
Re: PS5 Tipped to Top Switch 2 Sales in the US This Year
It’ll have like half a year head start so I’d be surprised if it didn’t.
Re: Sony Subsidiary Crunchyroll to Release Manga App This Year
