This seems to be on the lower end for scores (Nintendo Life gave it a 9/10). The main complaint of the first two games was the disparate stories (I still enjoyed them though). Surely the more singular approach to storytelling is a positive for those people no?

I started playing last week and put it on the back burner in case of an update coming. Once I'm done with RDR I'm going to jump back in. Looking forward to playing Phantom Liberty (I have completed the base game once already) as I hear nothing but praise for it.

@Kraven Everything is apparently a scam now. The word has lost all meaning.

@SeanOhOgain Have you noticed it's always the same people? Those that were accepting of NFTs and the metaverse seem to be championing AI. It's almost like they exist in a bubble being controlled by those with financial interests in the next grift....

It's subpar because no auto popping trophies or haptic feedback? The game looks and runs fantastic.

People are obsessed with finding things to complain about.

I haven't played this game since release and I've just started ok my PS5. It looks stunning at 4k60. I'm surprised at how well it holds up. Let's hope we get GTAIV (with both expansions) next.

@nessisonett Did you ever play LMA manager back in the day? I loved that game.

I feel like there is a real gap in the market for those kinds of simpler management Sims. FM has been too complex for a while now. I have zero desire to attend press conferences and set training schedules (I know you can kind of automate them but still....).

@TrollOfWar No one said there was anything wrong with it. There is just a increase in the amount of people dooming on here and submitting comments such as: 'Just another reason to get a PC rather than a PS5' (as evidenced in this thread). It's always the same commenters as well. They know exactly what they are doing and why they are doing it.

As stated in my previous comment - I'm happy that these games are reacher larger audiences.

What's up with r/pcmasterrace hijacking the comments on this site recently. Yes a you have a pc. Well done. So do lots of others. Lots of people prefer to play on console regardless of your ownership of a PC. Get over it.

Reminds me of the old joke - How do you know someone games on a PC? Don't worry - they will tell you.

On topic - Awesome news. I'm yet to play 2 but I'm always happy to see games reaching as wide an audience as possible.

I wish I had the time that some of you do. I adore my PS5 and my backlog is huge. I'm a patient gamer and cannot keep up with how many great games are released for the system every year.

@tselliot 'Lizardman's Constant is an estimated 4% of responses to surveys or polls that are not sincere, due to reasons like carelessness, humor, or spite'.

i think I'm going to buy this game. £28 seems reasonable for what you are getting and I love a good visual novel.

Id argue it's the best time to be a fan of JRPGs since the golden days when Square and Enix were separate companies.

I've had my eye on this one for a while.

People complain about PSN all the time but the Extra tier is great value for money. I'll be playing this and RDR on it this month.

I can't wait to pick this up and play it. So many games, so little time.

It blows my mind anyone would buy this sh*t.

Then again, as the saying goes: "A fool and his money are easily parted".

That's actually great. I'm going to play this.

Lol at the people still trying to spin this as negative.

Isn't it getting tiring moving those goalposts constantly?

Seems I touched a nerve with my joke. I love The Last of Us and have purchased all the remasters. Guess I should have put a winking emoji or /jk at the end of my comment.

ND are one of you favourite developers and I can't wait for Intergalactic.

And they have been releasing The Last of Us remasters for 39 of them.

Penny's Big Breakaway and Nine Sols for me.

I keep looking at Dragon Quest 3 remake as well but I have so many RPGs to finish I can't justify buying another one....

Good sale though.

@dodgykebaab Particularly the online gaming discourse.

Reddit in particular is really bad for this. I've stopped visiting r/games as it's full of people patting each other on the back with constant spirals of confirmation bias.

@ShogunRok I respect the commitment you must have put into finishing a meaty JRPG in the space of a week. Great stuff.

I'm a big JRPG fan but have somehow never played a Tales game. Would this be a good jumping on point in your opinion?

@Elfuggingjefe Great post. It's nice to see a somewhat nuanced take on here. These comments sections devolve into people attacking each other way too often.

The subject of the article doesn't sit well with me I must admit. Whether it is enough to stop me from playing the game remains to be seen.

@Kienda Sold less physical copies. An important caveat in a market moving increasingly towards digital.

It's the biggest SIE launch in Japan this generation. Anyone suggesting this is evidence of a flop is coping real hard.

Ball x Pit looks like it could be a good time.

@somnambulance Your comment has just made me stop and think about how many games I'm actually playing through PS Extra. I have a few installed but I own my current rotation. I don't play games online so I'm literally paying for nothing.

I think I might use the rest of my current sub to play through The Last of Us Part 1 and hit that cancel button. Subscription services really are out of control.

The market is going to force people back into buying games when on sale. Something has to give. Prices are through the roof for food let alone gaming. I feel like we are going to hit the tipping point soon. Greedy corporations doing what they do best.

I've just had my physical copy delivered. I'm playing Silksong and Metaphor at the moment though so saving it until I finish them.

@LieutenantFatman You and me both brother.

People shouldn't sleep on Bomb Rush. I got the platinum for it. Enjoyed it way more than I expected.

I loved The Impossible Lair but never played the first after hearing negative things. Excited to give this demo a blast.

I played the base game on Xbox so will wait for a game of the year edition with all dlc included to buy it on Playstation. Fantastic game though.

Its a great month. Anyone that thinks it isn't has unrealistic expectations.

@QiaraIris Hollow Knight has sold 15 millions copies. That's nearly as many as the Metroid franchise combined.

I realise it's cool to hate on Silksong these days but what you are saying makes no sense. Im not the biggest HK fan (thought it was decent) but there is no denying its appeal. Silksong is going to sell gangbusters.

Vandal Hearts 1 and 2 Re-release please.

Thanks for the list. I've just picked up The Messenger for 3 quid. I played it on Switch when it was released but fancy another playthrough. Going to go for the platinum.

Ps Extra has been fantastic this month. Today I have downloaded Unicorn Overlord, Harold Halibut, Indika, Prince of Persia and Sword of the Sea. Not bad for a tenner.

Are we all tired of winning yet?

@themightyant Ah ok, thanks for the explanation. That clears it up. Crazy figures considering thier live service push has been considered largely unsuccessful.

@rjejr I think you are right. The 40% figure includes (and is likely largely made up of) the 30% cut Sony receive as part of the MTX sales of the live service behemoths (Fortnite, Genshin, Overwatch. Etc).

Im not sure if Sony are trying to suggest all this revenue is from THEIR games or whether I am misunderstanding the quotes. Either way it isn't very clear.

@themightyant Im confused by this breakdown. Surely the 31% you have stated includes any revenue received from third party live services (Fortnite, Genshin. Etc). If it doesn't then what category do these fall under?

In another thread it is claimed that 40% of Sonys revenue is coming from their 4 live service titles. Don't these figures seem to contradict this?

This is a genuine question as I'm not sure whether I am just being dense....

@TheArt 'You go linear and think you can beat the likes of TLOU, Uncharted or RE4... pfft.'

Who said it was a competition?

@sanderson72 There will always be a market for physical ethusiasts, just like there still is for 4k/ bluray. The CD drive will be an optional extra going forward.

Flip - Flip - Flipadelphia!

@Hylian-Likely You should really go back if difficulty was the issue. High rank Zoh Shia, tempered gore, tempered seregios and tempered lagiacrus all put up a good fight.

I played it at EGX in 2019. Insane to think its taken this long.

@Pacific Job security is huge. Thinking you might lose your livelihood at any minute must be crippling.

@VaultGuy415 Have you tried update 2? Both new monsters are significantly more challenging. The tempered versions are on par with 8 star gore. I actually find one of them quite a bit harder.

@lazarus11 I play it at 60fps on the pro. Looks great to me. A few dodgy textures here and there but that's about it. Performance is buttery smooth.

@RagnarLothbrok Yeah. I've had numerous assists as a goalkeeper and that trophy hasn't popped. Ill have to take your word for it as none of my mates play it. Fun with randos anyway though.
