I don't know, man. Huge diablo fan (primarily 1+2) and I bought into the hype train and I wish I didn't. D4 is my biggest regret purchase in years. I'm not giving them anymore money. I hate the level scaling. It makes the whole game beginning to end feel the same. There's no moments like in D2 in maggot lair where based on the enemies and size of hallways that you need to change your strategy. D4 can be played blindfolded beginning to end just going off of audio cues.
In a way I get it, but I think it'd be smarter to take advantage of spooky season. I think that alone would give this game more eyeballs than releasing in January.
Canadian here, so knowing that the price increase will be even worse here I hate to say it cause I've been subscribed since the beginning but that is way to big an increase overnight and I will not be re-upping.
EDIT: For Canadians (rough prices)
Essential: $122
Extra: $205
PS Premium for one year will now cost $250 Canadian. That is BRUTAL!!
I'm a diehard diablo 2 player and I can't believe I got suckered into buying D4. This game is devoid of fun. How can killing a million enemies in D2 feel continuously fun, and yet D4 a mindless slog? To me, it's the level scaling. Terrible idea.
If there's one thing I've learned these last few years it's that whatever video games Chris Ray Gun liked as a kid will come back in one form or another 😂
@sanderson72 Appreciate the comment. It could just be my PSP then, it kills batteries. A couple years ago I went through three before I decided something was up, then of course I turn to Google which led me to others having similar issue. Figured it was everybody. Enjoy
Wow, I hate this. You better be sure that Sony isn't going to change cigarettes from Metal Gear Solid in a couple of months to cigarette candy. This is a bad sign of things to come for smaller developers. Sony should not be doing this. Censorship is bad
Wow. I know that's the physical edition price with quirks and all, but the quirks have more value than the games they've chosen. Beating a dead horse here, but Jurassic Park and it's Rampage edition blow these games out of the water in comparison 😂
I'm interested to see what Sony does under pressure, but I sure as all hope they aren't putting all their eggs in their games as service hand basket. I don't care about 90% ATK games, I don't care about 90% of games as service, but I do care about how the video game console I support through purchases chooses which games come next.
Lol we can't produce our own games, so we'll buy out anyone else's. I don't know how Xbox players could have respect for Microsoft at this point. This is a big joke to me. They stink
Metal Gear Solid 1 with trophies is going to be sick. I hope each game comes with its own set of trophies (the max games included), but I have a feeling that's hoping too much from Konami.
The coddling of the mind. Who in what respects would be interested in bioware games enough to view their merchandise who would be offended by this enough en masse apparently to make bioware want to pull the product and refund buyers? Strange times.
As a huge Tolkien fan, no.. Leave LotR alone. It's already taken so much abuse these last two years alone. The idea now that the powers at be want to tackle the "fourth age" my suggestion is DON'T. There is no fourth age, Tolkien and his son (the only two that really respected the source material) are dead. Leave LotR alone! Make something new, you're doing more damage than good.
Uh-huh, that'll be a first. Does no one remember the recent Overwatch 2 launch? Granted it was free to play, but D2R was a mess as well. I'll wait a month tbh.
Shinji Mikami wasn't involved in RE4 remake, but that turned out great. Of course Capcom and Konami are very different companies currently, but l don't see a reason to stress over this. The games story is complete and is being replicated. All we need is to change camo/eat/cure on the fly and crouch walk.
Yikes, that's a big disheartening. I thought this game looked right for me, but little did I know this is the game that only does everything. After learning about the developers past and all of these promises I've got to say this is sliding right out of my radar.
Fantastic game. I didn't play it until Ps Extra came out, but that was my first download and I was not disappointed. Using wind to guide you in the right direction is brilliant
I don't understand this switch era Zelda. I understand what people like about it, but to me it's felt like Legend of Zelda Nuts n Bolts. I don't play Zelda games for the physic puzzle shrines, I play them for the tight dungeons. That being said, I don't care what people like - have fun!
No offense to Game Freak, but I'm not convinced of their product given the games they've released sitting on their Pokemon laurels. Guess we'll wait and see
But Phil, the only reason I have bought playstation since it's first iteration is because of their great games. Oof, the Jedi are going to feel this one.
What other games will be featured in the upcoming showcase that have already been leaked numerous times to the point the surprise is gone? Show me first and second party games. It's been two years
Been saying this for years. Do shows/movies in the style of the games in game cutscenes. Who cares if general audiences don't get it at first, if it's good and done well in time they will come around. I've had people tell me they can't watch the netflix Pinocchio because of the stop motion animation. You can't please everybody

Re: Reminder: Last Chance to Stack PS Plus Subscriptions Before Price Rise
Expires in March, after that I'm out. This will be my last home console as well. I'm going to graduate to the pc master race after this generation.

Re: The Last of Us' Neil Druckmann Confirms He's Writing, Directing New PS5 Game
@theSpectre But they weren't a first party studio when a Returnal released. That's not semantics, that's how this works.
If tomorrow Sony buys From Software tomorrow that doesn't make Bloodborne a first party release, it was second party.
Re: The Last of Us' Neil Druckmann Confirms He's Writing, Directing New PS5 Game
@theSpectre @Rob_230 Housemarque was technically bought after the release of Returnal making this a second party release.

Re: LISA: Definitive Edition Removes and Changes Content to Release on PS5, PS4
@StrawberryTurtle No, but I was once a 12 year old using cigarettes in a game. You realize these are fictional characters, right?
Re: If Sony Does Ever Make a PS Vita 2, It'll Probably Need Replaceable Batteries
How did replaceable batteries work out for PSP? Good luck finding ones that still work.

Re: FTC Fails to Delay Microsoft's $69 Billion Buyout of Activision Blizzard
@Splat I believe Sony's worry is that if COD were to become exclusive to Xbox they would lose our on billions in gross revenue.

Re: Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Is Out for PS5 on 24th October
Metal Gear Solid 1 with trophies is going to be sick. I hope each game comes with its own set of trophies (the max games included), but I have a feeling that's hoping too much from Konami.

Re: Shocking: Hideo Kojima Not Involved in Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake
@Beerheadgamer82 Shinji was the director of Resident Evil 4. Goes with my point that he wasn't involved in the remake and that was fine.

Re: Expect Some Animated Adaptations of PS5, PS4's Biggest Franchises
