That is BIG. I have been holding off on both Scarlet Nexus and HFW. Can't believe I will be able to play HFW paying less for 1 year subscription than what the game actually costs.
Meanwhile I'm busy enjoying a game AT RELEASE that isn't as buggy as any of CDPR's recent games after 2+ years AFTER release. Namely, Hogwarts Legacy. And it's a blast.
@Arnna I'm past the point of wondering why I don't 'get' it. There are countless games that I love, but popularity is definitely not an indicator of quality. Haters gonna hate, but I just think that TW3 is lacking when it comes to actual gameplay. And if you are going to spend hundreds of hours in a game, then at least it should FEEL good to play it.
Very glad to hear. But just be cautious: fully playable from start to finish means nothing if the 'game' currently stands at 1 hour playtime. But of course they don't mean that. And of course fully playable doesn't mean 'we have sorted out the 15fps drop issues in these 50 places'.
I am super excited to play this. Docking points because of the JKR controversy is not fair in my view, because creative works should be able to stand on their own without pulling in the views of their creators. And in this case the creators were Avalanche and not some person on the internet.
Was lovely to have the collection when I just got my PS5 in 2021. At the time the only PS4 exclusive I had played was The Last of Us and (the best out of the lot) Bloodborne, so there were plenty to keep me busy.
Bill's arsenal, and mini-town run by himself is less believable than that but okay, let's draw attention to asinine points to make the internet talk more for a day
Decent episode for a TV show. But for Last of Us itself, I didn't feel like it did the game justice by deviating so much from the actual story. Bloating the show with a filler episode.
@DigimonMonster similar situation for me. I am trying this year to really cut back on buying games at release, and I keep reminding myself that there are so many games that I only played 5, 10, 20 years after release and still enjoyed them immensely. And like you said, it is much cheaper and you get the 'GOTY' or 'COMPLETE' Edition for next to nothing.
Got it on PC and played for an hour but would like to refund, just because the game is not actually that exciting to play having played the original quite a few times since its release. Unfortunately I found out that whilst AFK the game was 'running' on Steam but not actually open so the 2 hour grace period for refunds has lapsed. Still put in a refund request though.
update: Steam actually refunded even thought I apparently had 3.5 hrs playtime.
@Michael2008ish perhaps if you changed your sentence to 'love for Demon's Souls' then you have your answer: Because the game is great and people will pay to play an updated experience for a GOOD game regardless if it was janky or not. I love DeS Remake and I love the original
If you have to keep reminding yourself that a game is actually not cross-gen then I think you best not buy the game. I only realised today that the game is PS5-only
If you buy this at anywhere above 30% of full price you are crazy. Game costs nearly double that of what Elden Ring cost on Steam at release. ***** that.
@Grumblevolcano The minimum specs are (at least graphics wise) nearly on par with PS4 Pro. and that is for 720p so I doubt that the base PS4 would handle anything close to 720p Low settings. And that's not even mentioning the poor CPU on both the PS4 consoles.
@lindos I have a 3080 Ti and there are many games that can't do 4k120... 1440p120 is your most likely bet with most new games with RTX 3080. And that's with DLSS enabled usually
Comes out on PC soon, and the price is much better on Steam vs PS Store. Will wait for a Steam sale in any case. Can't justify spending 4x the amount I paid for the remastered version in 2018.

@awp69 Deathloop was already added last year
Re: PS Plus Essential, Extra Games for March 2023 Announced Early
Ghostwire exactly a year after release? Good lord Sony is actually killing it lately. I'm so glad I didn't buy any of the recently added games.
Re: Round Up: What Was Announced During Sony's State of Play Livestream for February 2023?
A very boring state of play. I watched it all in 2 mins by skipping most of it this morning. Nothing interesting.
Re: Returnal Is Sony's Second Most Unpopular PC Game at Launch
Death Stranding should also be on the list.
Re: Rumour: PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for February 2023 Possibly Leaked Early
@add286 Returnal was released on the service, and the game had just barely scratched past the 1-year mark.
Re: Rumour: PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for February 2023 Possibly Leaked Early
That is BIG. I have been holding off on both Scarlet Nexus and HFW. Can't believe I will be able to play HFW paying less for 1 year subscription than what the game actually costs.

Re: God of War Ragnarok Gets 3-Hour Trial on PS Plus Premium
Well, since you have access to GoW 2018 you might as well play that game and it'll tell you whether you will like Ragnarok.

Re: The Witcher 3 PS5 Performance Mode Noticeably Worse After Patch 4.01
Another reason for me to never play this game. I can't get into TW3 for some reason.

Re: Over 1,000 PS5, PS4 Games Discounted in PS Store Sale
TLOU Part 1 is MORE expensive (on sale right now) than Elden Ring at LAUNCH in my region. Sony can fek off with their ridiculous prices
Re: God of War TV Show Will Try to Appeal to Everyone
So uhm, just like every Sony-owned TV adaptation in recent years?

Re: Resident Evil 4 Gets 12 Minutes of Tense, Action-Packed Gameplay
Can't wait for 15 years from now to play a remake of a remake of every good game that was already remade.
Re: PS Plus Members Lose 19 Games in May as Sony Drops PS Plus Collection
Was lovely to have the collection when I just got my PS5 in 2021. At the time the only PS4 exclusive I had played was The Last of Us and (the best out of the lot) Bloodborne, so there were plenty to keep me busy.

Re: Actual Size PS5 Spotted Being Installed in Dubai
Ah, nothing like an Arab country to do something as extravagant and pointless such as this.
Re: Poll: Was The Last of Us - Episode 3 the Best One Yet?
Decent episode for a TV show. But for Last of Us itself, I didn't feel like it did the game justice by deviating so much from the actual story. Bloating the show with a filler episode.
Re: Dead Island 2 Ditches That Tired Skill Tree for a Based Skill Deck
Just sounds laborious to me. But let's see how it pans out when the game releases.
Re: Rumour: PS Plus Essential PS5, PS4 Games for February 2023 Leaked Early
Great... I literally bought and finished Olli Olli World less than a month ago on Steam.

Re: EA Confirms Dead Space PS5 New Game+ at Launch, Secret Ending
NG+ is not that simple to code into a game, especially regarding certain rules that some games might need when the NG+ run is executed.

@Vovander It's easy for you to say as a non-Russian citizen. If you were Russian then I'm pretty sure you wouldn't have typed that so easily.

Re: Monster Hunter Rise PS5 Port Is Practically Perfect, Says Performance Report
Yeah it runs great on PS5 but it looks like a 2013 game.
Re: Dead Space Remake Trophies Demand at Least Two Playthroughs for the Platinum
Plasma cutter only? well, if the weapon is still as strong as in the original, I don't see the issue.
Re: Returnal Continues the Cycle on PC in February
Can't wait to see what the modders do with this one.
Re: New PS Store Sale Drops PS5, PS4 Game Prices Below £20/$20
Kena was 66% of PlayStatin's 'sale' price on Steam thanks to regional pricing.
Re: Returnal Continues the Cycle on PC in February
@Grumblevolcano The minimum specs are (at least graphics wise) nearly on par with PS4 Pro. and that is for 720p so I doubt that the base PS4 would handle anything close to 720p Low settings. And that's not even mentioning the poor CPU on both the PS4 consoles.
Re: Returnal Continues the Cycle on PC in February
@lindos I have a 3080 Ti and there are many games that can't do 4k120... 1440p120 is your most likely bet with most new games with RTX 3080. And that's with DLSS enabled usually
Re: Rumour: Ex-Leaker The Snitch Reckons Sony Will Announce 'Third Party Stuff' Soon
Silent Hill PT for PS5?
Re: The Last of Us: Part I Handed a PS Plus Premium Trial on PS5
Comes out on PC soon, and the price is much better on Steam vs PS Store. Will wait for a Steam sale in any case. Can't justify spending 4x the amount I paid for the remastered version in 2018.
Re: Dead Space PS5 Remake Graphics and Performance Options Detailed
@lindos 4K, 60fps with raytracing? C'mon, even my GPU that cost double the price of the PS5 can't do that in most games.
Re: Dead Space PS5 Remake Graphics and Performance Options Detailed
But this looks so much better than Gotham Knights, how can 60fps even be possible?!
Re: 'AAAA' Title The Callisto Protocol Reportedly Falls Short of Expected Sales Figures
AAAA? AA production for the first half and AA production for the last half?
Re: Where to Watch The Last of Us TV Show
So glad this is coming to South Africa's Showmax streaming service.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing The Witcher 3's PS5 Upgrade?
The combat is so bad in this game that I cannot justify playing it. I could never get into it after trying it for 3 hours.
Re: Rumour: The Last of Us 3 Is In Development at Naughty Dog
A new IP would be refreshing at this point. 9 years with no new ND IPs is becoming stale.
Re: Out Today: The Witcher 3's Free PS5 Upgrade Is Available Now
@JohnnyShoulder this broken update is the day one patch apparently.
Re: Out Today: The Witcher 3's Free PS5 Upgrade Is Available Now
Ironic this 'free' upgrade is now much more expensive if you don't own the game yet. Ridiculous how they bumped up the price of the base game now.
Re: Hogwarts Legacy Delayed to April on PS4 While PS5 Version Goes Gold
Still won't be buying it on PS5 or any other platform for that matter. Doesn't look good.
Re: 'Flawless' New PS5 with Some Devs, Features Detachable Disc Drive
@WCamicase reading the discs is not the issue. Running the software is apparently too hard for PlayStation to implement.
Re: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Complete Edition (PS5) - The Perfect Excuse to Replay a Masterpiece
Couldn't get into the game a few years back when I tried it, twice. Will see if the bug finally bites this time.
Re: Returnal on PC Recommends Ridiculous Amount of RAM
@twitchtvpat not how it works. They don't recommend 32 just for the game.
