@MrPeanutbutterz platinuming those games means turning gaming into a chore, spending so much time and effort on them they stop being fun. There’ll always be great games, and there’ll always be slop. May as well have fun with both.
Lame choices. The MH series is overrated, Slime Rancher is forgettable, a dull golf game and an online version of a game everyone has played. Do better, Sony
@Buckeye4Life2015 there are too many metroidvanias available to the extent that making a new one is lazy and derivative. We all wanted a proper new GOW game, preferably one that follows from Ragnarok
I liked the demo, something a bit different and I imagine it gets a lot more challenging. Holding fire on pre ordering until I see what else is available around that time
I never got the fuss about Journey and why everyone praised it despite being a short game with no real gameplay or skill involved. This is the same. More like an interactive screensaver than a game.

Re: PS5's PS Store Shovelware Purge Continues with the Removal of More Garbage Games
Some of these were 7p, and were fun for 20 minutes. Good value for money, what can you buy for 7p?
Re: Poll: How Would You Rate State of Play for June 2026?
One of the best in a while. Maybe too many horror games but a lot to look forward to. GOW Laufey is a Day One purchase.

Re: 'We're Continuing Our Journey on Xbox, Switch, and Steam': Sony Wages War on 1,000+ Crappy PS5 Games
@MrPeanutbutterz but trophies are meaningless anyway, just for bragging rights.
Re: 'We're Continuing Our Journey on Xbox, Switch, and Steam': Sony Wages War on 1,000+ Crappy PS5 Games
@Slideaway1983 there are games for 7p that are a distraction for roughly 20 minutes and you can get a platinum trophy from them. It's a bit of fun.
Re: 'We're Continuing Our Journey on Xbox, Switch, and Steam': Sony Wages War on 1,000+ Crappy PS5 Games
@SuplexingTrains I agree it's daft, in my defence I'm doing it out of petty competition with a family member.
Re: 'We're Continuing Our Journey on Xbox, Switch, and Steam': Sony Wages War on 1,000+ Crappy PS5 Games
Meh, they were fun for ten minutes and good for trophies
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for June 2026?
This month assumes I have friends.
Re: Final Fantasy X Turns 25 This Summer, as Square Enix Opens Special Website
One of the best, if not the best. The games that followed X-2 were nowhere near as good. XII was particularly bad
Re: Saros (PS5) - Housemarque at the Peak of Its Powers with Its Best Game Yet
It just looks too similar to Returnal. Think I’ll skip it.
Re: 8 PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for April 2026 Announced
@Stocksy called it!
Re: PS Plus Extra Games for April Leak Ahead of Official Announcement
@Stocksy you are welcome, kind sir/miss/ma’am
Re: PS Plus Extra Games for April Leak Ahead of Official Announcement
HDZ Remastered will definitely be on the catalog because I bought it two weeks ago.
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for March 2026?
Lame choices. The MH series is overrated, Slime Rancher is forgettable, a dull golf game and an online version of a game everyone has played. Do better, Sony
Re: Star Wars: Galactic Racer Seems Like an Exciting Mix of Burnout, MotorStorm, and WipEout
The boost system that overheats if you use it too long was used in the N64 pod racing game. It’s not a new concept.
Re: Roblox Is Being Played More Than PlayStation and Steam Combined
I don’t want to live on this planet anymore
Re: Poll: How Would You Rate State of Play for February 2026?
@Buckeye4Life2015 fair enough, I didn’t know that, the trailer was preceded by the Santa Monica studios logo. Objection withdrawn, defeat admitted
Re: Poll: How Would You Rate State of Play for February 2026?
@Buckeye4Life2015 yes it is taking time and resources away from a proper sequel. There’s always an opportunity cost.
Re: Some of SEGA's Retro Revivals May Release within the Next Year
Fingers crossed for Crazy Taxi, one of my favourite PS2 games that needs a remaster, sequel or at least bringing to the PS Plus Classic catalog
Re: Poll: How Would You Rate State of Play for February 2026?
@Buckeye4Life2015 there are too many metroidvanias available to the extent that making a new one is lazy and derivative. We all wanted a proper new GOW game, preferably one that follows from Ragnarok
Re: Poll: How Would You Rate State of Play for February 2026?
Meh, some interesting titles but too many remakes, and ending was disappointing.
Re: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Permanently Cheaper on PS5 from Next Week
Might buy it again then digitally, assuming this price decrease is global
Re: Try Pragmata's Hack-and-Shoot Action in Playable Demo, Available Now on PS5
I liked the demo, something a bit different and I imagine it gets a lot more challenging. Holding fire on pre ordering until I see what else is available around that time
Re: One of PS5's Most Promising Adventure Games Gets a Playable Demo
@UltimateOtaku91 so does Danganrompa but that’s still a visual novel
Re: One of PS5's Most Promising Adventure Games Gets a Playable Demo
You can’t call it an adventure game in the title if it’s actually just a visual novel.
Re: Bloodborne Mentioned: Director Calls it a 'Special Game' and the 'Strongest Reflection' of Himself
It’s just a more angsty Dark Souls.
Re: Feature: 15 PS5 Predictions for 2026
Well finally get some news about the third FF7 remake game, and also some news about the sequel to Jedi Survivor
Re: Former PS4 Exclusive Detroit: Become Human Has Now Sold 15 Million Copies
Must give it another playthrough. Heavy going in places but worth it.
Re: Game of the Year: Best PS5 Indie Game of 2025
Silksong is overrated af. It’s a generic metroidvania just like the first game
Re: Ghost of Yotei Wins Big in PS Blog's Game of the Year Awards
More snubs for Death Stranding 2?! This is why democracy doesn’t work!
Re: You'll Probably Be Able to Pre-Order Saros PS5 Soon
@SeaDaVie so very similar then
Re: You'll Probably Be Able to Pre-Order Saros PS5 Soon
It looks too similar to Returnal
Re: PS5 Roguelike Let It Die: Inferno Uses a Crapload of Generative AI
I hope people vote with their wallets re AI, which will hopefully stop developers using it and save some jobs
Re: Poll: Five Years of PS5 - How Would You Rate Sony's Console?
The PS6 would have to be something special for me to buy it, not just a more powerful PS6
Re: Talking Point: The Game Awards 2025 Nominations Announced: Who Are Your Winners?
Hopefully Silksong gets nothing
Re: State of Play Announced for 11th November, Focus on Japanese PS5 Games
I know Persona 6 is a long way off but a man can dream.
Re: Study Claims Physical PS5 Games Are 100 Times Worse for the Planet Than Digital Downloads
Make digital games cheaper then
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for November 2025 Announced
Pretty lame, Sony.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Ghost of Yotei?
Whoever gave this game 1 obviously hasn’t played it
Re: 'It's Selling Like Hot Cakes': Hokkaido Goes Crazy for Ghost of Yotei on PS5
I’d like it to outsell GOT eventually, as I think it surpasses it in every way, but I know that won’t happen due to whiny people
Re: Rumour: New PS5 DualSense Controller Will Feature a Removable Battery
Considering the current controllers need charging pretty much all the time, this could be a good thing
Re: PS5 Fans Anticipate Big State of Play Livestream This Week
Always good to expect disappointment, there might not be a State of Play this week
Re: PS5 Exclusive Ghost of Yotei Is Just Two Weeks Away, So Here's a Gorgeous Cinematic Trailer
Genuine question- is there data showing that the more trailers a game has, the higher the sales?
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Hollow Knight: Silksong?
I don’t get the fuss about it, it’s a generic platformer
Re: Could You Be Persuaded to Watch a Call of Duty Movie?
No. Next question.
Re: Sword of the Sea (PS5) - Stunning Journey-Like Is a PS Plus Extra Hall of Famer
I never got the fuss about Journey and why everyone praised it despite being a short game with no real gameplay or skill involved. This is the same. More like an interactive screensaver than a game.
Re: Poll: 5 Years Later, What Do You Think of Ghost of Tsushima?
Why hasn’t Sucker Punch given us a new Infamous?!
Re: Try Out Anime Fighter Hunter x Hunter on PS5 Right Now
Hunter x Hunter would’ve been a great open world game, instead it’s just Dragonball Fighterz
Re: Talking Point: Do Early Access Editions Go Too Far for Story Games Like Death Stranding 2?
The Death Stranding fanbase is generally quite good at not spoiling things for others. Plus it’s easy enough to avoid spoilers.
Re: PS5's Brilliant New State of Play Breaks Records for Sony
@Jrs1 the games were underwhelming, no big surprises.
