Havent played Outer Worlds, so im not really interested in Outer Worlds 2 either. The price is also a thing, but i wouldnt be surprised if GTA 6 and Sony's 1st party titles ( after Ghost 2 ) will cost the same and its gonna be the new standard price.
Ghost 2, the announcement of the deep-dive was enough to get me excited for next months SoP. Baby Steps and Sword of the Sea make up the rest of my top 3.
Also interested to see more of Tides of Tomorrow. Marvel Tokon looked great, but fighting games arent for me. Pragmata didnt impress me tbh.
So they printed a broken mess on disc and then ask people to wait with their judgement until they fixed the broken mess. How about print a game on disc when its fully playable and polished. Physical games are getting useless.
I'll be grinding my relic weapon and Phantom jobs in Occult Crescent in FFXIV and grinding my lives in Fantasy Life. Im also gonna test some Pro Enhanced games on my new PS5 Pro and see how they look / run.
@Darude84 Coolblue selling Lego Horizon for €20 at the moment. And Nedgame TLoU 2 for €28, but they charge delivery costs. So in that case BOL would be cheaper at €30. 😉
Got my PS5 Pro for €665, so got €135 off the price. Glad i waited a bit and didnt buy 1 earlier this month because everyone was saying prices would rise.
According to Billbil-kun several EU countries get 30% off Premium and not the 33% which US gets. Still a nice discount though if your sub ran out before or during Days of Play.
@LiamCroft I only see $50 off the PS5 Pro on their Blog and no mention of £ or € discount, while those are mentioned with the standard and digital PS5. Where did you get that info if i may ask, was planning to get a Pro if theres €50 off so would be nice to have it confirmed.
Why list Borderlands GOTY and Borderlands: The Handsome Collection, both €9,99 each, while you can get Borderlands Legendary Collection for €9,99 ( which includes both ).
Hope there are some nice discounts during State of Play, so i can get the points im missing for another €5 store credit. You save more money by buying games physically anyway.
I've played for 12 hours now and still barely touched the story. Im still in the "tutorial village" and got all available lives to apprentice now, so i guess its time to start progressing the story. Anyone who liked the 3DS game will love this 1 too. Very addictive game.
Already played Fantasy Life I for 8 hours and all i did was fish and start a couple of other lives. Barely did any story so far. This will keep me busy till DS2 i think.
@old_gamer74 Yes that race can be really annoying and i had to do it on classic mode for the platinum. It helps to just stay 3rd since the 2 cars before you always crash in the 2nd and 3rd lap, so you ll be in the lead right before the finish. And getting all the collectibles took some time. Still a great game though, enjoy it!
After finishing Mafia i started Mafia II, so i'll be playing that to keep me busy till tomorrow. Tomorrow i'll be playing Fantasy Life I when early-access goes live.
@AhmadSumadi Its always the same person doing these articles, dont even have to look at who wrote the article anymore. And the way he words it, its simply false. But it gets clicks i guess.
Lets hope the reason for adding only 1 game to Premium is that they have something during Days of Play, but if not then this is by far the worst month for Premium ever.
Just raise the prices of hardware and software in the US to what we already pay in the EU and UK, problem solved. We are already paying way more for our consoles and games.
This has to be the worst looking limited edition dualsense so far. Missed chance to make a see-through dualsense like the thing BB is in, and just some handprints on it. But that probably would fit DS1 more.
Im considering a PS5 Pro atm, but im gonna gamble and wait till Days of Play. Lets hope Sony doesnt raise the prices before that, but decides to do it after. Worst case i'll reconsider and get to keep money.
@PlatinumMikey Yeah i have all of those games, except Shadows. But i'll get that when its discounted. And also DS2, Ghost 2 and GTAVI ( hopefully ) coming this year. I'll wait for Days of Play though and see if theres a discount first, only a couple weeks till that.
@JalapenoSpiceLife I would wait another month till Days of Play and see if hardware gets a discount during that. Im considering a Pro aswell if it gets discounted and sell my standard PS5, since i decided to not get a Switch 2.
Im sure they'll also add more games than usual because of Days of Play. Or give us a bigger discount with Days of Play because less games in the service. Right, Sony ?
@GirlVersusGame Since all leaks said its probably a shadowdrop, im gonna assume it'll release tomorrow after the reveal. Just hope the price is around €40-50 and not another €80 remaster, but might even get it at €80 in this case.
@Coffeeglitch Gaming is a luxury, you arent forced to buy games either. You dont want to go broke on games, but you are ok with robbing others from their income by pirating games apparently. Pretty low standards you got, sir.
6 Extra games is not a lot. Especially when you already own Hogwarts and have no interest in Battlefield and Golf. Lost Records and Blue Prince make it a decent month still.
Premium is still a joke, so many PS1, PS2 , PSP titles and they keep adding just 2 most of the time and often not the most interesting ones either.
@tameshiyaku Cheapest i can find MKW in the Netherlands is €85 and that is with the retailer i mentioned earlier, which also sells the Switch 2 and the Switch 2 MKW bundle for the same price as Nintendo. Other retailers are asking €90 and €500/€550 for the console and console bundle. I hope there will be lower prices, but i'm not that sure of it. Doesnt matter for me anyway, bc i decided to skip the Switch 2. The prices are too high imo, even if they lower the software prices to €70/€75 and the line-up didnt impress me at all. Also stuff like chat behind a paywall, Switch 2 Edition versions physical which just are the Switch 1 games with a code for the patch incl., a paid tutorial demo, games no longer on the cartridge. Stuff like that doesnt make me want to buy a Switch 2, so i'll pass.
@themightyant Mafia indeed, but also Just Cause, True Crime, Crackdown, Yakuza. You could also see Prototype, InFamous, Spiderman as sort of Superhero GTA's. You could even argue it evolved into open-world games, since San Andreas is at least a hybrid between sandbox/open world imo.
GTA should be way higher, probably at no. 1, the whole industry avoids releasing their game against GTA and so far every entry set a new bar. Thats the most influence you can have
I would pay it for a few selective titles like GTA6, but im already doing that now and the amount of games i would buy would only become less than i do now. It would be buying more titles in sale or just wait till they hit PS Plus Extra and not buy them at all.
@tameshiyaku I dont think Switch 2 games will drop to €50-€60 soon, Switch 1 games from Nintendo also dont drop a lot in price, even after years. At least here in the Netherlands.
And Ive never seen a game €90 bc of a greedy retailer either. But we ll see, i just dont see it happening. I can say though that i was interested in getting a Nintendo console for the first time since the GameCube, and after this Direct im not even considering getting a Switch 2 anymore.
@tameshiyaku Amazon is way too expensive then, DS2 is €70 in the Netherlands at a well known online store comparable to Amazon ( BOL.com ). AC Shadows €65, MH Wilds €55 at the same shop. And i never paid €90 for a game yet, also not at the launch of the PS5.
Besides that, Nintendo used to be cheaper than PlayStation/ Xbox games. Mario Kart being €20 more expensive as a big budget title like DS2 is wild. And there probably will be a season pass on top of that.
€470 for the console and €90! for Mario Kart World physical here. Insane asking €90 for a game and not a good sign.
DK game physical €80. And people call Sony greedy lmao. Also voice chat behind a paywall and paying for a showcase demo about the console. I lost all interest in getting a Switch 2 and hope for a nice deal for the Pro with Days of Play instead.
Finished my playthrough of the Directors Cut last week, might even go for the platinum. Probably will do a few deliveries each day to get max rank on all facilities, while also working on the premium delivery trophies.
