I "rent" them to try as much games as I want, and then if I really like it, I buy it to support the devs. I can also see people not wanting to spend so much to play just one game. I mean, it's not for everyone, but that doesn't mean it isn't for anyone.
I had a feeling about God of War, based on your profile pic. I despised the new one too, just used it as an example because I don't think there's a matching language available? I might be wrong, though.
I'm done with this incredible game too. But I will be expecting the expansion to drop to go back. Already 100% completed it. Some really cool missions. The only thing it needed was more Animus stuff.
Most people who wanted to play it, already did on PS5 or PC. It's probably a game that's gonna sell more during sales. But it's two years old, and Xbox it's the smaller of the three.
You forgot Lost in Random which is a Day 1 addition too, but I guess it can be considered indie? EA Sports FC 25 thanks to EA Play. And the Space Marine Remaster.
Eiyuden it's a pretty good -if flawed- turn based RPG.
Very old school, kinda like the first Suikoden.
I'll warn you though, you'll need a freaking guide to recruit everyone and even then, it's a headache.
My first Persona game was Persona 4 back in the PS2. Didn't have any issues, but couldn't complete everything in one playthrough.
If you don't mind that, P4 (or its remake I guess) it's a good starting point.
Metaphor is pretty much a culmination of past games. It's cool to see and play after knowing the past games.
Just be aware that you probably won't Platinum the games just playing them one time (if you care about that).

Not the first time it happens.

No thanks. Too late. I just use my PS3.

Sounds like you just don't like suscription services as a whole then. Nothing wrong with that.

@crackeastwood2
Why are you on PureXbox?
Re: 'We're Not Looking to Put First-Party Games in Day and Date': PS Plus Rejects Xbox Game Pass Model
@Bionic-Spencer
But there's also Day 1 stuff like Expedition 33 which many people seemed to love.
Game Pass isn't good just because of the first party stuff.
Re: 'We're Not Looking to Put First-Party Games in Day and Date': PS Plus Rejects Xbox Game Pass Model
Yeah, PS+ isn't really good. I mean it's good for Sony, but as a gamer there's better ways to spend my money.
Re: Persona Fans, You Can Pre-Load a New Game in the Franchise Now
@EfYI
There's quite a number of people in the fandom hyped for this.
Myself... I don't know. Will also wait for some reviews/impressions I guess.
Re: PS5's AI Slop Shovelware Has Hit a New Low
The idea is actually cool, not gonna lie. Could be interesting if done properly and seriously.
Re: Feature: Top 20 PS5 Games of 2025 So Far
I'll be giving Expedition 33 another chance on Game Pass soon.
Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Update 1.0.6 Out Tomorrow on PS5, Full Patch Notes Revealed
Oh man, I'm tempted to go back just for Critical Role.
@Dalamar
Critical Role has actually done at least one one-shot about the setting of this game (specifically AC, not just Japan) so it fits perfectly.

I had a feeling about God of War, based on your profile pic. I despised the new one too, just used it as an example because I don't think there's a matching language available? I might be wrong, though.
But thanks for the answer! 🙏🏻
Re: 'I Feel Like a Total Fraud': Actor Charlie Cox Reflects on Expedition 33 Success
@Dalamar
Native from the developer team or the setting? What do you do in a game like God of War? Just curious.
Re: Intergalactic PS5 May See Naughty Dog Leaning Further into RPG Elements
I'll pass. Haven't really liked a Naugthy Dog game.
Re: SEGA's Accidentally Outed Sales Numbers Put a Lot into Context
@somnambulance
I don't think FF16 sold as much as you think it did. But I agree that a Switch 2 version could help it a lot.
Re: You Really Will Be Waiting a While to Play Persona 4 Revival
I have a feeling they've been working on both Raidou games at the same time.
Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows' Next Huge Update Teased for 25th June
I'm done with this incredible game too. But I will be expecting the expansion to drop to go back.
Already 100% completed it. Some really cool missions.
The only thing it needed was more Animus stuff.
Re: Shinobi: Art of Vengeance Will Have an Absolutely Banging Soundtrack
@16BitHero
Yeah, I know my man. The quality was nowhere near Koshiro for most of the game.
I think he only did one or two songs. Really sad to be honest.
Re: Shinobi: Art of Vengeance Will Have an Absolutely Banging Soundtrack
Not a fan at all of SoR 4's soundtrack but I love Yuzo Koshiro, so I'm hyped.
Re: Poll: How Do You Feel About The Last of Us Part 2, 5 Years Later?
Didn't like the first one, so never played the second and have no interest in doing it.
Re: Fans Can't Believe PS5 Has Made More Profit Than All Previous PlayStations Combined
And it's still the worst gen in my opinion. And not just Sony.
Re: Y'Know What? This New Goosebumps PS5 Game Could Be Good Fun
It looks good... The price... I don't know. I'd try it for $20.
Re: Talking Point: What's Your PS5 Game of the Year for 2025 So Far?
Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii. Zero competition.
Re: Bungie Delays Marathon Indefinitely, No New PS5, PC Release Date Given
The sequel to Concord already?
Re: Final Fantasy 16 May Have Underperformed on PS5, But It's Doing Terribly on Xbox
So... The tweet was deleted. So is this news or not?
Re: Crash Team Racing Has Topped 10 Million Units, But Is Still Locked to 30fps
So I guess that many people don't care about FPS?
Re: Death Stranding 2 Feedback Was 'Too Good', So Hideo Kojima Made Big Changes
I'll pass. Again.
Re: Critically Panned MindsEye Makes Surprising Debut in First Sales Report
You would be surprised at how much more casual gamers don't have any idea about gaming news.
Re: Final Fantasy 16 May Have Underperformed on PS5, But It's Doing Terribly on Xbox
Most people who wanted to play it, already did on PS5 or PC. It's probably a game that's gonna sell more during sales.
But it's two years old, and Xbox it's the smaller of the three.
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for June 2025?
@LogicStrikesAgain
You forgot Lost in Random which is a Day 1 addition too, but I guess it can be considered indie?
EA Sports FC 25 thanks to EA Play.
And the Space Marine Remaster.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 585
Wildermyth and South of Midnight. Loving both.

Re: Talking Point: What Are Your Most Anticipated PS5 Games for the Second Half of 2025?
Probably Toxic Crusaders and Shinobi.
Both Ninja Gaiden games, too.
And I think that's it. I don't care about any other game releasing this year.
Re: Atelier's New PS5 Protagonist Looks Like a VTuber, And That's Fine by Us
Glad to see another turn-based one! I'm becoming a fan of this series.
Re: Mini Review: Date Everything (PS5) - Delightfully Silly Visual Novel Has a Lot of Heart
Just reading the review, makes it sound like a 10/10.
Re: MindsEye (PS5) - GTA Producer's Latest Is a Futuristic Faceplant
So did you guys had to buy this one or did they finally have review codes?
Re: Resident Evil Requiem Playable in 1st and 3rd Person, New Screenshots
Honestly can't get excited for RE anymore. Hoping this one changes my mind, though.
Re: 9 PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for June 2025 Announced
Eiyuden it's a pretty good -if flawed- turn based RPG.
Very old school, kinda like the first Suikoden.
I'll warn you though, you'll need a freaking guide to recruit everyone and even then, it's a headache.
Re: Yep, PlayStation's PC Games Will Be Playable on Xbox's New Handheld System
When Nioh 3 comes out, that'll be the first exclusive I'll be interested in.
Re: Splitgate 2 (PS5) - Sleek Shooter Sequel Is Uninspired Fun
So... As good as Concord then. I'll pass.
Re: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Patch 1.3.0 Makes Big Balance and Difficulty Adjustments
@Oram77
Mini map, full map with a button, I would take anything.
Sadly, I couldn't enjoy it as it is.
Re: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Patch 1.3.0 Makes Big Balance and Difficulty Adjustments
I'll be giving up on those maps, I guess.
Re: The Rogue Prince of Persia Leaves Early Access This August, Console Details Coming Soon

Re: The Outer Worlds 2 Gets Gameplay Blowout Covering RPG Systems, Combat, More
It looks a lot better than the first one.
Re: Sounds Like Switch 2 May Have Obliterated PS5's Launch Record in France
As much as I don't like it, Nintendo is king, and they don't even need amazing graphics to do it.
Re: Black Ops 7 Will Be the 'Most Mind-Bending' Call of Duty Ever on PS5, PS4
Still PS4? They know how to make money.
Re: Third Plague Tale Game Leaks Ahead of Xbox Show, Out for PS5 in 2026
I've found these ones to be a little TLOU-like, but I enjoyed them immensely more. Glad to see another one!
