Offering a multiplayer weekend where you dont need PS Plus is a weird benefit for PS Plus members or to celebrate PS Plus.

This hasnt much to do with the 48 hours early-access, since that ll be midnight today ( 24th of June ) and in most parts of the world it isnt past midnight yet. It has more to do with retailers breaking the street dates and selling the game early ( and review copies but most reviewers wont spoil anything ).

So while i agree early-access with the more expensive editions shouldnt be a thing, it would not solve the problem which already existed before early-access became a thing. Ive got plenty of games up to 1-2 weeks early from retailers since the PS3, there was no paid "early-access" back then.

So years of support becomes weeks of support. This will be on PS Plus before the end of the year.

@LiamCroft A bit like Low Roar with the original i guess. Looking forward to it. Thanks for answering!

@LiamCroft Hows the soundtrack? Is it mostly Woodkid or plenty of other artists too, like the original?

Do some grinding in Fantasy Life to get more Lifes to max ranking and probably try my luck at soloing another Deep Dungeon in FFXIV after completing HoH solo a year ago.
Next week its finally DS2 time.

Maybe next time just wait till things get announced/confirmed. Same with the GoW rumors, which went from remasters of the old games to a smaller new title this year to a metroidvania next year, but all just rumors so far and nothing might happen at all. Media nowadays....

Ive put 60 hours into Fantasy Life so far and nearing the end of the story, so i voted that. Still plenty to do after that though since i havent even mastered 1 Life.
Also voted for Clair Obscur, probably my GOTY so far. As 3rd choice i picked Lost Records, but mainly because i havent played most of the remaining games from the list.

At least Concord did release, im afraid Marathon wont even get that far.

Been playing Clair Obscure and enjoying it very much. A game everyone who loves RPG's should play, its that good.

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.

@mrbone Its only Gears 1 yea, not the Trilogy sadly.

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.

@Cikajovazmaj LG C1 has 4 HDMI 2.1 ports

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.

My sub runs out June 2nd and i already got an offer to renew my sub with 25% discount. I'll wait till next week to see if i get 30% though.

Probably will get my Pro also, with the extra 5% Plus discount it will be €87,50 off the price.

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.

@get2sammyb where are these furious PS5 fans, i dont see any examples in the article.

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.

Forgot about Oblivion already it seems, that would score higher than Klonoa i think.

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.

Fantasy Life i, which isnt even mentioned in the list, and Death Stranding 2 for me. Gonna wait for reviews for MindsEye.

They said before they already were working on part 3 while doing part 2, so im guessing late next year or early 2027.

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 ?

€55 in Europe, guess i'll grab it later today on PS5

@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.

@ShogunRok

Tomorrow:

One of my favourite 3DS games, so happy we get this 1 on the PS5. Cant wait to master all lives again.

Pre-ordered the Deluxe Edition, which comes with 48 hours early-access.

PC version has a MetaCritic of 92 and on OpenCritic 90, so i'll try it myself since its included in Plus Extra.

@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.

Not my type of game, so i'll probably wont be watching. Hope its good for the people who enjoy this kind of game.

@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.
