I got given FF16, Tekken 8 and FF7 Part 2 for father day last year and I've only played Tekken 8. FF16 is still sealed I haven't even completed Part 1 of FF7 as I was playing it through PS+ but don't have the sub now I just don't have the time anymore. You can't play these game for a day or 2 and come back to them in 2 weeks time because I can't remember what happened previously.
@naruball I used to get them but they like take of a few pence than actually topping up your wallet with £10, they are getting really crafty now since changing and the BS replies "We change what the market is in demand" please you sent the email out with a lower price that's illegal and price gouging
@UnlimitedSevens PS2 was my favourite because I 100% agree it was a games machine first the dvd player was an extra and at the time dvd players were more expensive than a PS2. But Sony knew what it was first a games console
They were mostly a disaster anyway I was one of those who got Horizon Zero Dawn when I came to PC got it free with my Ryzen 3600 CPU (had to wait till launch claimed through the AMD program). It was an absolute mess and it took them a year to just get it okay for them to re release it a year or so later but I had to pay for the upgrade £10 so it wasnt too bad.
Spiderman abd Miles were decent ports, as was God of War and Days Gone, I thought they were on the up and then The Last of Us Part 1 came out and jesus Christ what was even worse than Horizon. They still never fixed it to this day still takes about ages to do it's shader compilation, uses far too much RAM and doesn't work on 8GB VRAM because it stutters having more makes it better but that's not available to everyone.
Personally I'm glad they have I would love both to go back to the console exclusive (Xbox maybe a year later or 2 as I like it's Play anywhere program). Competition in the console industry is needed now more than ever but Microsoft won't go back they can't because of GamePass and they sold loads on PS they need cash to fund their AI habits
CDkeys or Loaded as it's now called is doing it as well I had Gears 4 (Xbox One) on my list to let me know when it was back on stock. I got an email and it said it's back in stock £4.79 I clicked on it and it loaded up the game and it was £7.89 I emailed them about it and they gave me a BS answer saying they adjust prices on the market which I know is BS
I'm starting to look elsewhere now or even waiting for steam as they have been deals for games that are same price as CDKEYS used to be
Generally think why Xbox has gone the way it has with GamePass now of they just did Xbox Play anywhere between console and PC (Xbox App, handheld) kept it's exclusive games to ots own platform then yeah that would have been a far better option personally.
Yes Xbox One reveal really was the worst thing they did completely destroying the Xbox 360 momentum, but competition is needed in the industry
Never finished it on PS3 or on PC when I got it I was disappointed with AC3 alot and was burnt out of AC at that point. I haven't touched a new one since but I've been playing the Ezio Trilogy remaster because it was my fave set of AC games
FromSoft broke Armoured Core FoR on PC with an update to it's stupid DRM as it absolutely crippled the games FPS and they never fixed it, a game I paid £40 for and won't play after the 4th level the FPS just absolutely tanks.
They obviously blocked it because it would mean the wouldn't be getting any revenue from it
Herman Hults should be fired for his incompetence how much money has he lost Sony
That means Test Drive Solar Crown which just became a PS+ game will probably end up getting shut down then how can they continue to fix and update it if they have no money????
The fact is Hultz had cost them so much money in loss it's unbelievable that they closed a studio that the could have given an IP they had that hasn't seen the light of day with that money lost
It's great to see old studios come back from the dead, I mean Aklaim came back a while back, I mean the PS1 era had so many greats I would love to see the industry like that again away from the big greed
@Reeneman It wasn't mainly him it was the CEO and Shareholders who saw the AI bubble with Nvidia and OpenAI and wanted in that race. Microsoft made a mistake decades ago with the search engine and let Google take that crown and look how Google turned out the search engine pays for everything
We all knew it was going to happen because it's been a sinking ship since Xbox Ones reveal under Don Mattrick. The Microslop CEO has stripped Xbox of what it can to fund it's position on the AI race and I can't wait till the day it falls and they all lose millions
I generally started to see the decline in Sony and it's respect for it's ownn Studios when it lost COD to Microsoft's buyout, yes the latest didnt sell well at all because it was generally crap but considering they probably stopped getting as much money from it and MT's in game that used to fund games development in the past.
They tried to push for live service tried to force it on PS players and then for some reason thought everyone wanted Concord???? It flopped they wasted $400 million on it so decided screw it lets buy Bungie for the biggest amount ever that was so way overpriced another $3 billion+ lost.
They sit on so many IPs they could have made a deal with someone else to have Bluepoint remake a classic that was on PS1 or PS2 but nope shut it down
Why I don't play live service games I've even quit Helldivers 2 on PS5 for the PC version as I don't want PS+ I don't play online games anymore on console I just don't have the time like I used too especially when friends are on and I can't
I got it free with my RX6600 in 2022 or 23 was it I can't remember because it actually dropped to £180 when mid range GPUs were stupid prices not as bad as they are now. But if that deal was just one month after I would have got RE4 Remake instead this game is boring as hell so much so I actually quit after 2 weeks and went back and played a new save of Skyrim.
This game honst to god makes you lose I had to write down the galaxy and planet of where I could actually buy and sell stuff. Planets where bland and empty it's clear they were hoping for modders to do the work for them but they even said no
Got MGS4 on disc for like £1.50 at my local CEX in great condition too just my PS3 died a month ago double beep flashing red light i've tried the HDD swap but nothing so think motherboard is dead and I don't know any place I can trust to repair it
I always remember the PS4 updates all they had was updated for messaging and chat that's all I would see and then stability updates more like security key encryption updates
Why didn't they just release it as an add on to the current collection as a separate purchase you know they will charge a out £30 for this you know that right probably more
Omg they seriously are after players for that Test Drive Solar Crown ain't they, you can't tell me they've not asked Sony to put it on for the months free games. The thing is Early Access it's not even finished and was a cash grab when they did release it, it's got no houses or hardly anything going for it they've even lowered the price to like £14 for the basic edition.
@Balaam_ I hate it when they incorp HARD mode trophies in the main list why couldn't they do what Spiderman did and offset it under a side list. End of the day I agree peoples time isnt precious and some like myself seriously dont have the time to game as much as I did years ago.
I should be able to play at my own pace and what difficulty I want
I'm excited for the new Tomb Raider the one that looks like a Uncharted style one, I expect a trailer from FF7 Part 3 or some thing depends if they will now it's going multi platform at launch.
Some PS2 games would be nice to see or some sort of shadow drop on emulation for it
How about they put Part 1 for £15 perm I would buy it digitally I was playing it through plus but I haven't subbed for months. £15 for part 1 is a decent price for those who now maybe interested I got bored at chapter 9 I just bought the original on Xbox to play again because I love it to death
@sanderson72 I tried the HDD swap with a working 500GB it still does the double beep and flashing red light and I hear the hard drive just stop instantly so it's dead unfortunately
@Balaam_ One reason why I got bored I got to chapter 9 wall market and I stopped but as much I love the original I miss the random battle between places. Their isn't many battles unless you go back and forth to areas to makes them come back to grind a few levels
I welcome it you know why exclusives should have died with PS4, Xbox have the idea but they executed it wrong by releasing XSX and for years doing what they did to then basically say we don't care for XSX now and are going MP.
I still to this day didn't understand why they named it OW2 when it really didn't need it they could have left it and just kept adding stuff as normal to it like Apex.
I expect its name to change on my trophy list then to Overwatch
Saving so much per month it and I'm keeping an eye on pre ordering, I haven't done that since MGS2 or FF10 on PS2. Shame GAME UK shut up shop but there pricing was ridiculous and if they matched online they would have done far better and as soon as pre ordering was available they would have made some money
My PS3 died last month gives me the double beep and shuts down I'm really pissed off because I've proper looked after it no scratches or anything. So now I'm looking for a used one nearby on Facebook as I can't seem to find any anywhere else and CEX want about £60+.
