@get2sammyb so you do what the smart people do, get yourself a Turkish PSN account and pay £37 for '£70' games, and still play them from your UK account. There's a very simple guide on HotUKDeals on how to do it.

Makes even the smug disc lovers with their 'never go digital, never go digital' whines look like mugs.

@God_of_War_ buy these sales titles via a secondary Turkish account (can still play via your main UK one) and they make the oft lauded physical prices look expensive 👍

I think this, mass effect legendary edition and it takes two is enough for me to buy a year's sub for the £9 it'll cost me - the F1 games are great with the 'my team' mode.

@Mezzer you still paid £8.75 for it. It's weird how people use this bad logic of 'oh I had £5 from X so it only cost me £3'

Spoiler: that's not how money works.

People moan about why isn't there a GTA 6....then they hand over yet more cash for this three generation old ass game.

@render I was so upset by the fix last year I can't even think about watching it this season, let alone play a game based on it.

From someone who had watched it for about 35 years up until that point, thanks for destroying my former favourite sport Masi.

I enjoyed it when it came out almost a a decade ago. But by now i'm so done with this game I doubt I'd play it even as a PS5 PS+ game.

Even small Indies on my backlog would get priority over replaying this cash grab.

Doesn't bother me in the slightest.

The whole point of the career part of the game is to work your way towards affording the better cars and to have that enjoyment when you can buy and use them.

People who use microtransactions as a short cut are simply ruining their own game, so let them.

Fuss over nothing here.

@hbkay £38 from Turkish store. Better for you? It is for me. Pay £70 if you want though.

@marnelljm I buy from the Turkish PSN store, their prices make even retail look expensive:

Just bought Demon's Souls for £21, Judgment for £9 and Returnal for £25

@LazyLombax yeah, weird west looks interesting

Fortunately or otherwise, I'm not a trophy addict and just enjoy them as they pop up however and whenever.

But I'm every bit as excited for GT7, can remember eagerly handing over the cash for the original in WH Smith's all those years ago.

And for those who think games are overpriced now, that original GT was £49.99 and that was 25 years ago!

@Medic_Alert Indeed. I paid £33 for my digital copy (thanks, Turkey).

I await replies as to how digital is always more expensive, and how stupid I am for preferring it.

The Japanese have a specific word - tsundoku - to describe a growing library of books that continue to get added to rather than read.

Sound familiar?

Roll on March 4th.

It's a ducking joke. 10/10's everywhere with nary a mention of the technical issues and jank.

Reviewers should hang their heads in shame for their hive mind mentality over this game.

Just read DFs initial comments - the performance is pretty appalling by the sounds of it - can't even hit 60fps in 'performance' mode on a PS5! Get ready for some lovely judder. And this is with the launch day patch, which reviewers didn't even have access to when they failed to mention this.

Not sure why such jank gets overlooked. The circle jerking is strong with this one!

@Divergent95 I mean, I've bought the game (admittedly for a very reasonable £31) but I agree with the thrust of your comments.

I'm expecting a good, hard as nails experience but the circle jerk around it is already kind of embarrassing.

@Perturbator got it for £31 from the Turkish PSN store, no need to wait for a 'sale' with that kind of price for Day 1!

In most other comments sections, these games are being received fairly positively. Seems there is a much higher ratio of whiners on pushsquare, sadly.

Just another example of why day 1 purchases don't make sense.

Even if you don't want to wait for a sale, wait a few weeks for crap like this to be fixed.

Not interested for myself as I suffer from bad motion sickness with anything like this (even from first person games) but I'm hoping to grab at least two so I can scalp a couple of people for them

@munstre I know, right? You pick your price, you choose to pay or not pay.

Me, I bought it for £39 off the Turkish PSN store (which I do for most games) so even people who crow about physical being cheaper than digital can do one so far as that's concerned.

But if I didn't know how to do that or didn't want to do that, I'd suck it up and pay more. Or not.

Why do people whine so lol

@nicc83 thanks 👍

@nicc83 how do you fund the Turkish account to buy the games? Do you have to convert sterling to Turkish lira? Or can you buy Turkish PSN credit?

Sounds like more hoops and hassle than I can probably be bothered with, but the prices are tempting over there.

FYI Evil Genius 2 is down to £22.49 so soon after launch....under twenty quid with discounted credit is a great deal imo.

Today is also the last day of the 90% off Ace Combat 7 Deluxe Edition. Hard to argue that £6.99 isn't a great price.

Not even a 'recommended' from Eurogamer? And tbh this review scores higher than it sounds from reading it.

Glad I haven't dropped any cash for this as yet.
