People are literally paying full price for an expansion lol.
Sadly it will still be one of the best selling games of 2023. Us gamers complain and then reward their nonsense practices so I wouldn't bother changing either if I was them.
Rarely buy games since 2018 due to subscription models. As someone who games on a budget, paying less than £80/Year for access to all the titles just makes sense as I rarely ever replay games.
I wouldn't be surprised if major Sony meetings are being called for as I type this.
In the short - term, nothing much will change but the precedent has been set. Microsoft is going to try buy Sony out of the gaming market and with how deep their pockets are, I am waiting for the inevitable acquisition of SEGA or something similar.
Not much will change in the short term since COD will release on Playstation for 10 years but Sony has to start making counter moves now or they could disappear by 2040
@ShogunRok I am definitely big into the story,world,character building part of final fantasy and I am decent at action games so I reckon I will buy this Day 1 and start playing over the weekend after work.

£300 for the Digital PS5 is a great price point
Re: Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Sets Pulses Racing with Jaw Dropping PS5 Story Trailer
Ignoring all trailers as I know this is a Day 1 purchase.
Re: Microsoft Extends Deadline of $69 Billion Activision Blizzard Acquisition
Getting an Xbox Series S refurbished for £150 is going to be extremely tempting with Gamepass.
Re: Venom Is the Focus of Fresh Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Look
That tongue looks so good!
Re: PS Store Summer Sale Live Now, Get All the Best PS5, PS4 Deals Here
The Last Of Us Part 1 can be found for £30 regularly on marketplaces.
We're going to miss Physical once it inevitably gets phased out.
Re: PS5 Sales Spike a Staggering 116% in Europe
Christmas 2023 is going to do record numbers at this rate especially with Spider-Man 2
Re: Another 10 PS5, PS4 Games Leave PS Plus Extra, Premium in August
Yakuza goes on sale regularly but I highly recommend anyone to play Yakuza 0 before it leaves in August.
One of the best franchises ever
Re: Won't Someone Think of the Children? UK Moves to Protect Kids from Loot Boxes
Parents should not be putting their credit card details on any console. Use giftcards and actually monitor what their children are spending it on.

People are literally paying full price for an expansion lol.

Re: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 PS5, PS4 Details Are Leaking Everywhere
@get2sammyb
And yet it will still be one of the best selling games of 2023.
Why should they try hard when mediocrity gets rewarded
Re: Reminder: 10 Quality PS5, PS4 Games Taken Off PS Plus Extra, Premium Tomorrow
Bioshock Collection goes on sale for under £10 regularly for those that have missed out.
Great FPS collection and for the price of a medium pizza at Dominos.
Re: Every Little Helps! UK Giant Tesco Will Stop Stocking Physical Video Games
Rarely buy games since 2018 due to subscription models. As someone who games on a budget, paying less than £80/Year for access to all the titles just makes sense as I rarely ever replay games.

Tomba 2 is one of my fave platformers!
Re: 18 More Games Join PS Plus Extra, Premium Next Week
Gives me time to go through Alan Wake and the past few months PS Plus Extra backlog
Re: UK Regulator 'Still Stands' by Decision to Block Xbox's $69 Billion Activision Blizzard Buyout
This deal is going through.
Sony is likely already planning for the future and how to counter this with their own moves
eg: Square-Enix being bought out.
Re: Microsoft Beats US Regulator FTC in Activision Blizzard Buyout Battle
I wouldn't be surprised if major Sony meetings are being called for as I type this.

Re: Need for Speed: Most Wanted Remake Seemingly Outed by Voice Actor
The best NFS game ever.
Re: Reaction: What Happens to PlayStation if Microsoft Buys Activision Blizzard?
Not much will change in the short term since COD will release on Playstation for 10 years but Sony has to start making counter moves now or they could disappear by 2040
Re: Another Six-Month Apple TV+ Free Trial Available Now on PS5, PS4
@Member_the_game
That's what they literally hope for with these trials. You'd be surprised how many people are paying for subscriptions they don't even use.
Re: Square Enix Plotting More Retro Revivals After Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster Success
Surprised they never released Final Fantasy 13 Trilogy on PS4/5.
I am sure there is a market for it.
Re: Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Given a Quite Literal Hype Train
Day 1 Purchase.

@riceNpea
Extremely well said!
Re: Very Questionable Face Renders Are on the EA Sports FC Ultimate Edition Cover
Gambling Simulator in disguise of a football game.
Re: Total Final Fantasy Franchise Sales at 180 Million
GTA V - 180 Million Copies Sold
Final Fantasy Franchise - 180 Million Copies Sold
No wonder Rockstar are taking their sweet time with GTA 6!
Re: PlayStation and Other Gaming Titans Flock to Twitter Rival Threads
Instagram is enough social media for me. Can't be bothered with this.
Re: SEGA Survey Suggests Persona 3 Reload to Retail for $69.99
Will play it on the Series S.
Save myself $70.
PS5 / Series S - Consoles for the generation.
Re: NBA 2K24 Adds PS5, Xbox Series X|S Crossplay in Franchise First
Gambling Simulator in disguise of a basketball game.
Re: Like a Dragon Fandom Divided After Hearing Kiryu's New English Voice
Yakuza & Judgment games are meant to be played in Japanese.
Adds so much more to the game.
Good for him but I'll likely never use the dub.
Re: New PS Store Essential Picks Sale Has 1,400 PS5, PS4 Game Discounts
Do not waste your money on Saints Row.
It will eventually be put on PS Plus and even then don't waste your time.
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for July 2023 Leaked Early
If true, excellent month!
Will play all 3 of them after finishing Far Cry 6
Re: PS5 Exclusive Final Fantasy 16 Hits a Slightly Skewed 3 Million Sales at Launch
If 3 Million copies sold in a week isn't impressive anymore, the industry is in trouble.
Re: CD Projekt Exec Suggests Cyberpunk 2077 Launch Not That Bad, Actually, Dunking 'Became a Cool Thing'
He can f*** off all the way to the curb with this nonsense take.
So its cool to scam people now? What a load of bull
Re: PS Plus Extra, Premium Lose These 10 PS5, PS4 Games Next Month
These have been on the service for close to a year so not unexpected.
Definitely try out Bioshock if you haven't played it yet.
Re: New Korean Rating for Red Dead Redemption Has Fans Hoping for a Remaster
Red Dead Redemption Collection.
Both Games & DLCs Included.
I can dream.
Re: Existence of 'Undisclosed' Rockstar VR Game Leaks via Actor's Resume
Rockstar as we knew it ended when Dan Houser and other key people left the company.
A Bully sequel would likely underwhelm without their involvement.
Re: Yakuza Series Creator, Former Developers Disappear from Credits in New Collection
Konami did the same thing to Kojima with Metal Gear.
Once the management and lifeblood of the franchise moves on, it ceases to be Yakuza anymore.
Will be interesting to see how Yakuza 8 and other RGG are received compared to their previous ones.
Re: SEGA and Bungie Were On Microsoft's Shopping List in 2020, Xbox Emails Show
I love Judgment and Yakuza so i am glad this did not go through (for now at least)
Re: UK Sales Charts: PS5 Exclusive Final Fantasy 16 Debuts at Number One
I've been seeing FF16 Buses and marketing everywhere so glad to see it has paid off for them.
Re: Metal Gear Solid 4, 5, Peace Walker Reportedly in Master Collection Vol. 2
About damn time. Its been 15 years at this point.
Loved it back on PS3 but didn't think I wouldn't be able to play it on any other console since then
Re: Full Final Fantasy 16 Takeover on PS Store for PS5 Launch
All I see is marketing for this everywhere I go and its great
Re: YouTuber Yong Yea Is the New English Voice of Kazuma Kiryu
Japanese Kiryu is the only Kiryu for me.
Can't play these games in English. Feels weird.
Re: Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Is Out for PS5 on 24th October
@anoyonmus Time to upgrade. Its been 3 years since PS5 launched. PS4 has had a great 10 year run.
Re: Final Fantasy 16 (PS5) - Final Fantasy's Triumphant Return to the Top
@ShogunRok I am definitely big into the story,world,character building part of final fantasy and I am decent at action games so I reckon I will buy this Day 1 and start playing over the weekend after work.
Thanks for the reply
Re: Final Fantasy 16 (PS5) - Final Fantasy's Triumphant Return to the Top
@ShogunRok As a Final Fantasy fan that loved the older FF titles, would I be put off by the seemingly huge change from RPG to action game?
I wasn't that much of a fan of FFXV's combat system although I did enjoy FF13's combat.

Re: Final Fantasy 16 PS5 Pre-Load Available Now
Waiting for the review embargo to lift before deciding to get this Day 1.
Re: No Plans for a Marvel's Spider-Man 2 PS5 Demo, Says Insomniac
They know this is going to sell 10 million + copies within weeks without the need for a demo.
I anticipate it to be the highest selling game of the year if it matches the numbers the first game did in 2018.
Re: PS5 Bundle with Two Years of PS Plus Premium Appears to Leak
Only worth it if its cheaper getting the 2 years through the bundle.
Then any new Playstation user getting this is a no brainer.
Re: GTA 6 Speculation Further Inflamed After Rumored Voice Actor Returns to Tease a Reveal
@Czar_Khastik
This is probably closer to reality than we realise.
Imagine saying back in 2012 that you're looking forward to playing GTA 5 on PS3, PS4 & PS5 yet here we are lol
