For me, this month:

• Sonic X Shadow Generations
• Dragon Age: The Veilguard
• YS X Nordics
• Smurfs Dreams

Quite a lineup; i'm buying more games for my PS5 in one month than I did the last three years altogether haha

@CrashBandicoat Naturally.
Aside from the first game, I absolutely love this franchise and from what I've seen it actually looks really good. Sure, some MINOR things bug me (Like the Qunari design), but it's certaintly not enough to deter me from buying this game.
Mostly, also, because I don't give a rat's ass about reviews and people's opinions haha.

I'll probably wait with the Xbox version to go on sale - I don't want to spend that much money at once. But I 100% will buy it for PS5 day 1, no matter what.

Oh that's fantastic - personally super excited for this game to (finally) come out. I know alot of negative nancy's will jump on the hate wagon once it comes out, but let them wallow in misery. I'll be playing this on both the xbox and playstation. Super hyped.

@Mikey856 This is exactly what you SHOULDN'T want! If Horizon Online is succesfull they might just make the entire franchise and other Sony ip's online online/live service - which means you can't play it ever again once they remove them from their servers :/

Haha absolutely not, not even if you OFFER me money to play it. Singleplayer or bust.

Hell no. My original PS5 is still working really well and I really don't see any reason to upgrade for a few minor differences.

See that, Sony? See how a SINGLEPLAYER game does this well over the course of a few weeks.. while your live service games keep failing and failing, with Concord failing within two weeks? Take note.

(And yes, I'm fully aware Helldivers did well.. but that's more of an exception to the rule).

I guess Dragon Age and Sonic Generations? But they were already confirmed to be coming and I'm 100 % buying them both so...
In which case: None of the other titles mentioned

@Shad361 The only thing not meaningful here is you and your silly ignorant comment. Astro Bot, like others have mentioned above me, has sold quite well in most of the world.
But go ahead and try to deny it. I'm sure SOMEONE will eventually fall for it... lmfao

Also, the game industry is quite weak, I have to agree with that... but mostly in the UK. These people still eat up GTA V as if it's yesterday's leftovers (which is actually kinda accurate if you think about it), but in most other countries, the game still sold really well.

@Shad361 Unfortunately true. Most gamers only want generic superhero games or walking simulators these days. That, or horrible live service crap like Fortnite. Damn shame most players (Including the ones in Japan), lost their sense of self and imagination

LoH Kai No Kiseki and Sonic X Shadow Generations for me, personally! The rest I really just can't care enough about.. except for the dragonball z one but I'll pick that one up once it's price goes under 30 bucks

Ooof.. not a good sign... I guess people like being ripped off?
Oh well, their money and their choice.

So many butthurt comments on here, good lord.
Makes me wonder whether I not I should just stop reading comments all together, considering all that people do is whine, whine, whine. In every. single. article.

@Chupa_loyzer The fate of kirkwall, etc? I thought that wouldn't be relevant so far into the future of the franchise; That they rebuild.
Never got far enough into Origins, so I can't judge that one

I mean - what other choices would there be to carry over? I played through Inquisition several times and I'm fairly certain these three are the most important ones.

.... But I better see Dorian again in Veilguard, or Maker so help me..

How about.... "NO".
You know what's a very good investment? The Nintendo Switch and its massive library of games... something the PS5 (still) lacks, especially compared to the PS4.

Aaaand nothing of value was lost.

Meh. Can't honestly say I'm hyped for any of it, but I got Astro Bot this year so I'm good. And quite frankly this just strengthens my resolve to stop supporting Sony more; most of the games they put out are just not interesting to me anymore. However, I am happy for people that are excited for the games being shown!

Oh a female protaganist? That's an interesting choice for sure. Fairly certain people will complain about this...
Makes me wonder if people would also complain if Gravity Rush would return - since the lead of that game was also a women?

... Stupid times we live in.

I can't wait for this one; I'm hoping it will actually get really good reviews - just to finally shut the negative nancy's up. If it does get bad reviews, well... that's the end of Bioware then. Oh well.

I'm getting it day 1 regardless of the reviews, which I mostly ignore nowadays... thankfully.

Nothing worth mentioning then - at least for me. But that's ok; plenty of games to keep me going and I HAVE been wanting to replay Zero Dawn again.. so i'll probably do that 10 euro upgrade path that they're offering

@sanderson72 I agree and the exact reason why I don't support Sony much more these days. Damn shame they let greed take hold of their hearts...

Sounds to me Sony needs to get a visit from the Phantom Thieves hah

Normally I would be annoyed - however, I did just get Astro Bot and with Epic Mickey now out and Sonic Generations AND Dragon Age coming out next month I don't think I have a right to complain haha.

Oh, and then also YS X Nordics in October too!

Curious to see what they'll show. Unless it's a JRPG or Platformer I'm not really that interested.. but I could still be surprised

@sanderson72 This one is actually ALOT better. 2 is much shorter, cringe dialogue, worse level design.. Believe me, this first one is a 8/10 easily - the second one is a 5.

Still loads better than Sony's walking simulators tho.

Yikes, that's quite a bad sign.... At least, that's what I thought until I read the rest of the headline. ''Uk'' huh? Haha.

I'll stay physical, no matter what. And if it all become digital? Well, then I guess I'll become a retro gamer.

Epic Mickey Rebrushed came in early, so I'll be playing that over the weekend - also some Trails of Cold Steel 2 and Hogwarts Legacy!

Happy weekend everyone

Yikes!! I was already glad it flopped immensly; but now i'm just straightup super, SUPER relieved it failed. Screw live service, screw account bound games and SCREW multiplayer games!
If ANYONE believes these are the future... well.. we all have our illusions I guess.

Really hope Sony doesn't try something this stupid again.

An addictive drug that can turn its users into monsters... Now WHERE have I heard this before...? (People that played the Crossbell games will know!)

I'll probably pick up the controller since that looks really neat!

The game really does look good... but as mentioned in the article, the complexity will scare some away - including me. After a long day of work, I'm not looking to get confused or annoyed because there are multiple buttons doing ONE action all at once. Oh well, will probably still pick this one up... just not on day 1 or for full price

Good to hear! Inquisition is still my favourite of the three, though I do enjoy DA2 as well. Origins is horribly outdated, though, and barely playable. It doesn't help that it has the worst cast of the franchise... although the Mabari is actually adorable and I wish it came back in Inquisition.

Can't wait to see what Veilguard brings to the table.

@Frmknst

I do - 23 hours into it and taking my time with it; It's highly enjoyable and rushing things doesn't work for me, so...
And like NintenGuy, I don't sell my games either, ESPECIALLY not this one. It'd be an insult to Team Asobi imo

And just like that, physical games just got better... again.
I will 100% become a retro gamer if future consoles require an account/online connection to play a game.. I can totally see Sony do this.

Nintendo - not so much, fortunately.
And Microsoft is basically already doing it

@naruball

Is it really that simple? If such an expensive console is going to sell really well.. won't it mean that the PS6 will be around the same price, if not more? Alot of people won't be able to afford it.. Gaming will be considered for the elite and that's just something I can't justify, no matter what. However, if Sony releases a more affordable PS6 at the time with less ''impressive'' specs, then I'm OK with it; I just don't want to splurge that much money on a new console - and I know ALOT of people don't want to do that either. The same thing here with the PS5 - I don't mind the Pro THAT much (Even though it's blatantly obvious Sony's being a greedy little beaver here), but if it co-exists with the regular model, then I don't mind it that much. However, if they pull out all the older models and force people to buy the Pro... yeah, then we're going to have a problem

@Diaclone_Dad I feel the exact same way; glad to see some rational comments on here! I, too, will be using the PS5 only for retro gaming and some third party titles from now on; Astro Bot being my final Playstation Studios game

@Pandalulz ..... Then don't support this kind of practice and just get another regular PS5 for your kid.

@wildcat_kickz You buy that, you are part of the reason Sony keeps doing this *****... and you reward them for your arrogance and greed :/.

@B0udoir Yeah, most likely. What I can't figure out is WHY Sony's being so greedy? Like, do they WANT the pro to fail, because I'm fairly certain most people just don't want to spend that much money for what's essentially a slightly faster PS5.. and maybe a slightly better looking one.. and then also cutting away stuff that are there at the original model's launch.

I knew Sony was greedy, but this practice really confuses me

Is this a troll poll? Yikes, but it seems that there ARE people who are sold on it.. Not much, but still.

Does Sony LIKE to shoot itself in the foot? Nobody, and I will repeat, almost NOBODY will be buying this. Prices for groceries and gas are already sky high thanks to inflation, so putting this ''pro'' console at such a ridiculous price... will only raise the sales for the original model. Yikes, Sony. Big yikes.

Oh Sony. If only I could believe you.

I miiight start to believe you if you bring back Japan Studios - and therefor Knack, Gravity Rush and many other dead franchises as well.

Huh, that actually speaks well of them.. It was the main reason I held off on the game. I might pick it up

... Once it drops down to 30 euro's or lower, that is!
