@nessisonett At least Avengers is still playable.

I often think about how this game's codename was Dylan. As in Bob Dylan. As in, they thought this game would have the same impact on video games that Bob Dylan had on music.

Eh, guess I'm part of the 4 percent.

I don’t get why people think Bowser’s comments were arrogant. All he’s saying is that Nintendo is going to continue to support the Switch for the foreseeable future, so if you don’t want a Switch 2 yet, you don’t have to feel like you’re getting completely left behind. That’s a good thing! I’m not sure why so many people are acting like it’s not.

I remember reading an interview with the guitarist from DragonForce back when this game first came out and they asked him if he could beat that song on hard or whatever and he was like “lol absolutely not”.

I don’t intend to play this any time soon (got a huge backlog to work through first), but when I do play it, it’s gonna be on PS5 Pro. Unless the PS6 is out by then…

@Darude84 Hey, I did the same thing (traded in my base PS5 and my Series X to get a Pro) and I totally agree with you. The difference between the base PS5 and the Pro is night and day. Even my wife, who does not play video games or care about video game graphics at all, watched me play and said “whoa, this looks way better!” I think there’s some people out there who need to get their eyes checked.

@Gazray I just bought an OLED tv for $500 to go with my PS5 Pro and games look amazing on it, way better than on my old tv, which was a 4K HDR tv, but not OLED. I don’t know what tv prices are like in the UK, but at least in the US, you absolutely can get a good tv for less than a thousand dollars.

@LifeGirl Speak for yourself. I’ve been playing video games since 1988, and this has been my favorite generation so far. And the PS5 is easily my favorite PlayStation. I don’t know why so many people are so jaded and cynical these days, but I’m having fun at least.

@RiverGenie Honestly, if you tried God of War 2018 and didn’t like it, I would say don’t even bother with Ragnarok. It’s just 2018 but even more so.

I would never do it, but I don’t have a problem with the practice. If people want to spend extra money to play games a few days “early”, that’s their problem. I don’t see how it hurts anything.

@Nepp67 Need? No. Want? Yes!

It was pretty obvious that it was just a bug. I don’t know why there was so much angst about this.

@Nepp67 You’re right, it’s not a bad price, but it would be even better if it was cheaper!

That’s gotta be a bug. It doesn’t make any sense to replace the game backgrounds with ads for games you already own.

That’s all well and good, but I already have the base game. I wish they’d lower the price of the DLC, or at least put it on sale.

Well, I don’t particularly like multiplayer games, but I do love Horizon, so I’d be willing to give this a shot, depending on what it’s like.

I mean, it’s only 10 bucks, so I’m gonna buy it regardless, but it’s wild to me that so much judgment is being thrown at this game based on one screenshot that some guy posted on Twitter. Why don’t we wait until the game comes out before we decide whether it’s terrible or not?

I’m not convinced that listing was ever real. Feels like something someone made up to get people on the internet riled up, and it worked!

@Unit_DTH Yeah, honestly, the main reason I love the Series X is that it’s a great console to play 360 games on.

I mean, the quote’s not wrong. I love my Series X, and I loved my Xbox One, but it’s hard to deny that Xbox has been pretty much superfluous since the 360 days.

There’s not a lot coming out soon that I’m interested in, for sure, but I don’t really care because my backlog never seems to get any smaller.

Hopefully they go back and update PS2 games they’ve already released with this new emulator. Being able to play Jak II with rewind would improve that game immensely.

What is the point of PS Plus Extra/Premium if you can’t even count on first party titles like Horizon Zero Dawn staying on the service?

Why didn’t they just make it so that preordering the PS5 version cost $10 if you had the PS4 version? Seems like an easier way to deal with this situation.

Every time David Jaffe opens his mouth I’m glad he’s not making video games anymore.

@dskatter Yeah, that’s pretty much the point I was making. A lot of people seem to think that physical is definitively better than digital, but the reality is that both have their pros and cons. Personally, I’m not all that concerned about “ownership”, so I prefer the convenience of digital. Plus, I live in a small house, so if my collection was all physical, I simply wouldn’t have space for it.

@PixelDragon I’ve had physical games I owned get stolen or destroyed. I’ve never lost access to a digital game I purchased. So to me, digital feels more secure. I guess it comes down to a person’s experiences.

This sucks and it should not happen, but I find it weird that people take this as proof of the fragility of a digital collection versus a physical collection. A physical collection may not be subject to the whims of greedy corporations, but it’s hardly permanent. What if your house burns down? Or is flooded? Or destroyed in a storm? What if someone breaks into your house and steals your collection? What if one of your discs break? I’m not saying a digital collection is unambiguously better than a physical collection, but neither is a physical collection unambiguously better than a digital collection.

It looks like the sort of licensed game that studios used to pump out by the dozens in the PS2 era and earlier. It seems like those games all went to mobile for a long time, but now that publishers have figured out that mobile isn’t an infinite money pit after all, these kinds of games are coming back to consoles. It doesn’t look TERRIBLE, per se, but it does look boring as hell. And what’s with the narrator?

I’m very excited to play Baldur’s Gate III someday, but I have too many other games I want to play first (such as finally getting around to playing Baldur’s Gate I & II!)

I hadn’t really thought about it, because I don’t subscribe to PS Plus, but $80 a year for what is basically just the ability to play online is absolutely absurd. That’s the same price as the NSO Expansion Pack family plan. Ridiculous pricing.

@GamingFan4Lyf Personally, I find it very annoying to have a cord dangling down from my head while I play games. I tried using a wired headset I already had when I first got my PS5, but I ended up getting the Pulse 3D headset soon after, and it was worth the extra expense to me.

I have 7-12 on Switch and 13 and 15 on Xbox, and I’m going to buy 1-6 on Switch soon, but I will buy them all again on Playstation in a heartbeat if they ever put 13 on Playstation.

This is the dumbest thing to be mad about in all of video game discourse, and that’s really saying something.
