I don't need more cheap clothes and junk around my house, I want rewards I could use to purchase more games!
Sony should be sending out developers to every big third party game that suffers on the Pro. I own a regular PS5 and a Pro but now I have to play it on the regular to play the best definitive version, make it make sense π
@Rich33 "Devs only care about scores. They may even decide that they don't need to patch the game if review scores dont indicate a problem."
I don't disagree with most of what you're saying is just that you're going after the wrong people. I think your anger needs to be directed at the higher ups (specially Randy).
The devs don't decide when a game gets released, they are rushed to release it in whatever state is in and they can't say no or else they'll easily be replaced.
@Jammer "Many have tried, all have failed. Judge is Kratos!"
Didn't Terrence voice Kratos for longer with 6 full games (plus 3 guest appearances) under his belt? So is not exactly Judge has always been Kratos! Just like the torch was passed to him he can pass it to someone else
This was Jade's baby and she basically said "F this trash, I'm out" so why is Sony still wasting resources on it? This was worse received than freaking Concord!
We all know that if it does come out it will bomb on day one, if we know this why doesn't Sony?
I'm waiting for a sale cause $40 is too much for a 6 hour campaign and I'm not interested in the multiplayer. Also the console wars are alive and thriving on Twitter/X.
First playthrough will be first person as that's probably the true vision of the director, the second playthrough will be third person then I will go back to first person for trophy clean up ππ»
"asymmetric online multiplayer mode as well as a singleplayer experience."
I have a feeling asymmetrical multiplayer is the star of the show here and the single player is some 4 hour experience that they made so they can say it has single player π
Well since Netflix had more faith in the product they should benefit from it. Definitely another Sony blunder, since Netflix has the rights they don't even need Sony anymore.
Is not like the general public will know the difference between a sequel being done by Sony or any other animation company. You lose Sony, next time have more faith in your products and don't be like WB.
Maybe there's something wrong with me or I'm not getting it. This looks awful and annoying π maybe it will be funny the first couple of minutes but the entire game?
"Hellblade 2 is at its best across all the factors that donβt require you to properly play it."

I Platinum the first one and it still holds the record for most boring and slowest game that I have ever played! It was torture lightly walking everywhere, they can add this one a PS Plus free game and I still won't touch it.
Hell yeah I'm buying it as soon as I finish writing this comment! I logged in hundreds of hours in Hexen on the N64 then beat the PS1 & PC version. I haven't played the other stuff so it will be new experiences for me ππ»
@SeaDaVie "I think Microsoft thought everyone would follow them"
I think you mean Nintendo thought everyone would follow. Let's give credit to the people that start crappy practices as every other company will just follow the leader.
I wish we were getting a 6, maybe these sales can convince Capcom to bring in the people that left after V. Also I do have just one small little gripe, why do they have to make the Platinums 10/10 hard as hell? π
I already have the Steam version of Killer Instinct 2013 but I would still buy a PS5 port in an instant to trophy hunt! I also want ports of Killer Instinct 1 & 2 arcade if you're reading these comments Phil π

@SeaDaVie "It's Ubisoft so people will be outraged, but of course a company like Capcom has basically the exact same approach, and Capcom are one of the "Good Guys""
Can you point me to quotes of the Capcom higher ups gushing over microtransactions and live service? You won't find them because they are not stupid, they know they have a negative connotation so they keep their mouths shut.
Ubisoft on the other hand likes to shout every month from the roof tops that every scummy practice done today is actually amazing and we are all idiots for thinking otherwise.
What a waste with Karl Urban, his normal self looks exactly like Kano plus the New Zealand accent for complete authenticity. They could have saved in the make up department π€·π»ββοΈ
I love all the infamous games, they are games where having fun is prioritize over everything else. I would buy a bare minimum port of the first three games day one!
I still have a problem with the mute SpongeBob characters but everything else looks great so far, I just need a few of the past Sega characters so it can be a day one.
The only way it happens is when Microsoft officially exists the hardware space otherwise there's no reason to throw your main competitor a life jacket.
@TruestoryYep "Stray on Xbox, Death Stranding on Xbox, Final Fantasy 7 Remake on Xbox, 16 on Xbox and now Helldivers 2 on Xbox.
Every single one of those games is made by a third party developer and only one of those ips do they actually own π€¦π»ββοΈ but sure Naughty Dog is releasing TLOU on Xbox next week!
Why isn't Phil and Booty stepping down? They greenlight these games and studios, now they are saying "oops guess we shouldn't have approved these games my bad, y'all can leave now".
@UltimateOtaku91 I didn't even know till now that they had two whole studios dedicated to making racing games, now I wish they brought over the last Forza Motorsport.

@Liamsufc1 "I'll just get a switch 2 ps5 has been a disaster for me"
How? There's been a ton of great games and much more to come. GTA6 and RE9 are around the corner! Do you only play exclusives? You don't play all the fantastic third party games releasing on PS5?
Switch 2 is not even getting most of these third party games, so that's a platform where you're actually only buying it to play exclusives π€·π»ββοΈ
Stop trying to compete with 2K directly and make an complete alternative. How amazing would NBA Street do today, you guys can be arcade and 2k does realism. Both games can easily coexist!
It's too much work slightly touching up the PS3 ports? Who's asking for them to remake them completely and to modernize? Just upscale those games to 4K and 60fps like many free emulators on PC already do.
@LifeGirl "such as the Saints Row reboot or Mind's Eye, they come nowhere near it."
That Saints Row game has many problems but compared to Mind's Eye it looks like GTA 6 π
It's crazy that the whole sales pitch for Mind's Eye is basically "made by former Rockstar Big shot!" yet it's inferior to every Rockstar game ever made. Did he not look at his past work and compare and contrast with this new stinker?
I gave up on me playing PS3 games natively on any current or future PlayStation system, I had to build a PC just to be able to play them at 4K 60fps π Now as soon as Sony announces a PS3 emulator for PS5/PS6 I will happily support every port.
Yeah this is definitely flopping on PlayStation too, who goes out of their way to buy a very boring game. I hope Ninja Theory is done with this movie lnonsense and goes back to gameplay first games!
So Nintendo went and bought up this random company but they didn't purchase Rare when they were rapid firing hit after hit? You would figure after a studio has many like 10+ hits for you that would warrant an immediate purchase π€·π»ββοΈ
@Pleasance "Oh, besides game "journalists" using the term "AI Slop"."
