Still not getting it but good for those that want to.
I platinumed it. Beat it twice. Loved it far more than Forbidden West. Don't have the time to re-platinum it again when there are other new games I could play.
50% of PS users are still on PS4 with no need to upgrade to a base PS5 as it is.
This number for PS5 Pro is beyond optimistic with inflation and little incentive to upgrade as the latest COD and Fifa and live service games all being available on PS4 as of this year
I already don't buy at full price except for extreme exceptions such as God Of War Ragnarok & likely GTA 6.
With PS Plus Premium, I have no need to buy games as I mainly play SP games, beat them and move on. I won't mind waiting for a sale or it goes on PS Plus
Gears Of War does this very well. Recently got into the franchise and I can still plays Gears of War 1-3 matches with a few real players and bots to fill out the map.

Re: PS5 May Soon Be Unchallenged by Xbox in Some Regions
@IOI
Well said. Xbox leaving the console space is horrible news for us all.
PS Plus Premium/Extra happened as a direct result of Gamepass.
If Sony is left unchecked, you get the PS3 launch all over again. PS6 at $699 starting price etc
Re: Sony Product Manager Urges PS5 Fans to 'Settle Down' Over Ads
@Kanji-Tatsumi
Precisely.
This wasn't a mistake, it was a beta test to guage public reaction.
Re: Poll: Did You Pre-Order a PS5 Pro?
Not interested.
Got my PS5 for roughly £230 when you include the money I made from trading in my PS4.
More than enough

If true, I don't know how the hell Herman Hulst still has a job.

Loving going through them again and getting the platinums
Re: PS5's Building Insurmountable Lead Over Rival, Outselling Xbox Almost 3:1
This is horrible news because if you recall, when Sony had no real competition, they became very arrogant and the PS3 launch happened.

Re: Sony Priming 'Even Less Exciting' PS5 Remaster for State of Play
This gen has been garbage in terms of actual new PS5 only games.
No wonder nearly half of PS users haven't upgraded to PS5
Re: Blizzard Reportedly Made $150 Million in Diablo 4 Microtransactions
@UltimateOtaku91
Sad but true.
As a company, If I see people are willing to pay for microtransactions which is essentially free money for us, I'd be mad not to consider it.
Gamers getting what gamers deserve
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 546
Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty edition.
Going in completely blind.
Re: PS5 Pro Probably Won't Run GTA 6 at 4K 60FPS, Tech Expert Claims
I care more about whether GTA 6 will be fun to play.
The reason people are still playing GTA Online after all these years is because its "fun" not because it has the best graphics.
Re: 13 More Games Join PS Plus Extra, Premium Next Week
@ShogunRok
Precisely my thoughts. Not going to bother with anything here.
Re: Despite Price Point, Analyst Firm Expects PS5 Pro to Sell Like PS4 Pro

Re: PS5 Pro Announced, Costs $700 and Out in November
£700 is nearly $1000 WITHOUT a disc drive or a stand.
Insanity.
I'll be shocked if this sells well.
Re: Metal Gear Solid Delta PS5 Won't Be 'a Hideo Kojima Game'
Whether the title card is there or not, the entire Metal Gear franchise would not exist without Hideo Kojima.
Re: Poll: Are You Sold on PS5 Pro?
£700 is nearly $1000.
Lmao.
No chance.
Re: Astro Bot PS5 Sales 'Aren't Huge' in UK, But There's Still Hope
I wonder what Sony will consider a "success" in terms of sales.
I'd imagine costs were lower than a God Of War so hopefully they are satisfied enough to continue making more games like it.
Re: PS5, PC Disaster Concord Is Now Officially Offline Indefinitely
Dying on the day Astro Bot comes out to rave reviews is sweet
Re: Astro Bot (PS5) - One of the Greatest PlayStation Platformers of All Time
Buying at Full Price for £55 to support more of these kind of games.
Re: Star Wars Outlaws, XDefiant Disappointments Pour Pain on Ubisoft's Share Prices
Chaos is a ladder. The stock price shall rise. Buy.
Re: Reaction: PlayStation Needs to Take a Long, Hard Look at Itself
TLOU Online
Bungie
Concord
The 6 live service games cancelled
Yep its a complete and utter disaster at Sony with its live service push
Re: Layoffs Hit Ballistic Moon Ahead of Until Dawn PS5's October Release
Morale must be low if this is needed BEFORE the remake gets released.
A sign of low faith in sales?
Working in the industry is a nightmare it seems.
Re: Harry Potter's New PS Plus Game Will Come with a Bonus for Hogwarts Legacy Owners on PS5, PS4
Enjoyed his storyline in the game. Will give this a go on launch day.
Plenty of room for growth with a potential sequel to Hogwarts Legacy.
Re: Concord PS5, PC Sales Estimates Are Somehow Even Worse Than We Thought
At 25K units, they could have made more money making this a tax write-off.
Re: Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions' Snitch Has Been Dramatically Nerfed on PS5, PS4
@Enuo
J.K. Rowling's books have had such an impact on peoples lives that your comment looks so bitter.
I loved Hogwarts Legacy and excited to play this one.
Re: How Much Would You Pay for Your PS5 Games? Dev Says Industry Is Waiting for GTA 6 to Hike Prices
I already don't buy at full price except for extreme exceptions such as God Of War Ragnarok & likely GTA 6.
With PS Plus Premium, I have no need to buy games as I mainly play SP games, beat them and move on. I won't mind waiting for a sale or it goes on PS Plus
Re: Players Complain of Lengthy PS5 Matchmaking Times As Concord Numbers Dwindle
@DETfaninATL
Gears Of War does this very well. Recently got into the franchise and I can still plays Gears of War 1-3 matches with a few real players and bots to fill out the map.
Re: The Witcher 4 Close to Full Production, Next Cyberpunk Progressing as Planned
If its out before 2030, I'll be shocked.
Re: Rumour: PS5 Pro Design Seemingly Leaked
Sony would be insane not to sell a disc version of it.
Surely there must be a disc attachment to it or I forsee most people not bothering to get it.
Re: Crash Bandicoot 5 Reportedly Cut in Favour of More Live Service Games
@naruball
Exception does not disprove the rule.
For every helldivers, there are several cancelled Live service games and Concords
Re: Crash Bandicoot 5 Reportedly Cut in Favour of More Live Service Games
Black Myth Wukong breaks records and sells millions of copies. Single Player.
Concord breaks records for all the wrong reasons and is dead on arrival. Live service.
Take the hint Sony.
Re: Things Are Getting Worse for Floundering PS5, PC FPS Concord
My expectations for the game were low but geez this is an abject failure of catastrophic proportions.
If I worked at the studio, I'd be brushing up my CV right about now.
Re: Concord (PS5) - Live Service Debut Beats the Hate with Stellar Presentation and Good Gameplay
@get2sammyb
For £40, its asking a lot to compete with better live service games which are free.
Is it worth £40 in your opinion?
Re: Xbox on Bringing Exclusives to PS5: The Industry Is Changing for All of Us
They are basically 3rd party developers at this point.
The real truth is the game costs a fortune and they want to get as much money as possible since the PS5 has more players.
The PR answer is just window dressing
Re: Sadly, PS Plus Premium's TimeSplitters Trilogy Doesn't Have Trophies on PS5, PS4
@Member_the_game
Fair play. You do make valid points. Hope whenever trophy support is added, it pops trophies according to the saved data.
Haven't owned a Nintendo console since the SNES (I'm old lol) but I always hear good things about their exclusives.
Re: Borderlands 4 Announced, Coming to PS5 in 2025
Hope its more similar to Borderlands 2 than 3
Re: Sadly, PS Plus Premium's TimeSplitters Trilogy Doesn't Have Trophies on PS5, PS4
Not playing until trophy support is there then.
Re: UK Sales Charts: EA Sports FC 24 the Best Selling PS5, PS4 Game in Stagnant Top 10
@Mikey856
Majority of gamers do not come to websites like this.
Its FIFA / Call Of Duty / Fortnite and maybe the odd exclusive for most gamers.
Re: Final Fantasy 16's PS5 Exclusivity Ends in September as PC Launch Is Locked Down
Hope those that waited enjoy it. It strayed too far from what I expect from Final Fantasy but I hope its good for newcomers to the series.
Re: Sony Seemingly Leaks PC Port for Red Dead Redemption in PS Store Listing
@Ralizah
Its on purpose. They know people will double & even triple dip if they stagger releasing on consoles and PC.
GTA 6 coming to consoles will make people who mainly play on PC, get it for a console and a year later they will re-buy it for their PC.
Expect GTA 6 to follow a similar release schedule to GTA 5:
First release on PS5 / Xbox Series X
Then release on PC
Then re-release on PS6 / Xbox

Re: Ubisoft Suggests More Development Time Required for Future Assassin's Creed Games
"25% bigger than Valhalla"
Bigger isn't always better.
Valhalla was such a slog it put me off from even finishing it.
Re: It Took PS5 Longer Than PS4 to Pass 4 Million Units Milestone in the UK, But There's Context
The fact that majority of games are still released on PS4 defeats the purpose of upgrading for many people.
Black Ops 6
EA Sports 25
God Of War Ragnarok
Horizon
Hogwarts Legacy
Add in the F2P games like Fortnite / Apex, most casual gamers don't see the point.
Re: Yakuza Wars May Be the 'Surprising' New Game from RGG Studio
Give me a Goro Majima story in it and I'm sold.
Re: Queen's Blood Confirmed for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Sequel, CCG to Be Expanded
Absolutely loved queens blood. Would love more of it and would love being able to play against real people online.
Rebirth is my GOTY for now. Adored it. 120 hours
