But people here cheer when Sony buy up companies but complain when Microsoft does it.

Its hypocrisy. Its either all bad or its fair game

@Martsmall

If Sony had the money to do so, they would 100% do the exact same thing.

Its only console fanboys who get weirdly obsessive over a brand that dont realise this

@naruball

The same way Xbox owners can't play Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, Spider-Man 2, God of War?

Exclusives have always been part of gaming. You now have a choice to make. Stick to playstation (which most people likely will do) or get an Xbox to play Xbox exclusive games.

Same thing with Nintendo. Lets not cheer Sony keeping things exclusive by buying Insomniac but get upset when Microsoft does the same thing.

Yakuza 0 is one of my favourite games of all time and I love the fact this franchise doesn't wait too long until the next game is released.

1-3 years is the sweet spot. You can fully enjoy one adventure (in this case two!) before the next one drops.

Just finished Lost Judgment through PS Plus and I am stoked to play these Day 1

@OneWingedAngel

This.

Its incredibly ignorant of people to assume their way of thinking is the only correct way.

The Yakuza & Judgment games have always displayed the female characters as being just as capable as the men from Sayama, Seto, Saiko, Mafuya & Haruka who we literally play as in Yakuza 5 as she takes charge of her destiny and life and makes decisions for herself to Saoru who was responsible for bringing Ichiban and team together in Yakuza 7.

I'm excited for the game. I appreciate Japanese culture a lot (Clearly as I love these games, anime etc) and understand that the culture there is different to mine and that's fine

This was expected. They will use Cid & Vincent to help market the 3rd game or they will be part of the "Intergrade" DLC for this game.

Glad its nearly over.

Competition is good for us the consumer as stuff like this forces Sony to keep innovating to stay competitive.

Also lets be real, if Sony had the finances to make such a deal themselves, they almost certainly would too.

Will wait to see the state of these remasters before dabbling in it.

Konami is Konami afterall.

Day 1 Purchase and going for the platinum

Release First
Fix Later

Modern Gaming.

Wouldn't bet on these coming to Playstation.

Starfield didn't and future Betheseda games are most likely not going to either.

All companies do this. Apple copies Samsung. Sony copies Xbox.

Imitation is the greatest form of flattery

This was always going to happen the second they bought Betheseda.

This is a gambling simulator disguised as basketball.

Release broken
Patch later

Thats the AAA gaming motto.

Spider-Man is easily the more recognizable IP so this is not surprising at all.

Game is going to sell 5+million in the first week

Twas my 1st ever platinum. This is a day 1 buy

When is the last time Square Enix were actually happy with the sales of a game?

Their expectations appear to be unrealistic.

Uncharted 4 Multiplayer - 960 Hours

The Witcher 3 - 170 Hours

Final Fantasy X Remaster -154 Hours (Platinum)

I mainly play single player games but love the multiplayer for Uncharted 4. Reckon most of my games are in the 30-40 hour range.

The fact this is all they do for a 10 year anniversary is beyond pathetic.

But then again, they have no incentive to try harder when people continue to buy the game and pay shark cards regardless.

A shareholder's wet dream.

Day 1 buy.

No need to watch any trailer

2023 has truly spoilt us with games.

Red Dead Redemption 1 selling like hotcakes just goes to show that people on websites like these are the VAST minority when it comes to gamers.

People complained about the $50 price tag and the masses have shown they don't mind it. These practices shall sadly continue.

@TabulaRasa

Technically not even a PS5 exclusive as I beat this on my PS4.

Well done to Betheseda and Microsoft

Very impressive considering the UK is Sony dominant. Competition is good for us the consumers so long may they battle it out for supremacy

NieR Replicant alone makes it a good Extra lineup

@Bionic-Spencer

Came here to make this same comment lol. I can't remember the last time Square-Enix were publicly happy about the sales for a game.

Currently playing and loving Lost Judgment, have no desire to play these so hard pass for this month.

@Cikajovazmaj

Can't patch a terrible story and broken gameplay mechanics.

@playstation1995

Your dedication to saying "word up son" on every single comment you make is next level lol

FF16 Complete Edition going to be stacked

Got 1 year of PS Plus Premium left and once that runs out, will downgrade to PS Plus Extra on a sale.

Has to be one of the worst months in PS Plus history.

The overall numbers will go down to combat the increased revenue so is it really a win for them in the end?

This is why we must never ever have "loyalty" to a corporation. Only use them as long as they are useful to you. Once that stops, abandon ship with haste.

The Saints Row Reboot ironically ended the franchise and developer.

They actively ignored fans wishes and the game bombed as a result. It would be disingenuous to say i'm shocked but I am grateful for the OG Saints Row 1 & 2

Sony reeking of early PS3 levels of arrogance again.

Gamepass is cheaper than PS Plus Premium and gives far better perks with Starfield dropping Day 1.

The fact the Saints Row Reboot is considered the best game of the month, just goes to show how abysmal this month is.

Lower your expectations for this one.

There is a reason its a 3rd party game on PS Plus a year after release.

Go in with 5/10 expectations and you may be pleasantly surprised

@Mikey856

That's why I've never managed to get into them. I like games that show me a 100% list and I can choose what to do or ignore. Once its completed, I move on or play the multiplayer from time to time.

A game with no ending isn't for me.

People underestimate how the vast majority of gamers are not on places like here or Reddit. They casually play games.

There is a reason Fifa & COD are almost always the best selling games of the year. People want to play what they know when they have some free time and those 2 are as recognizable as they come to gamers and non gamers.

@General_Disarray

I'd hope so. Its going to be 4 years into the PS5 lifecycle at that point.

@lankieBD

My thoughts exactly. If you wanted to use remote play, your phone, tablet, laptop or any screen you likely already have is there so all you need is your controller.

$200 is an expensive accessory for something that has literally 1 purpose.

They could release the same game with a new cover and it would still sell millions.

No wonder Rockstar are taking their sweet time releasing GTA 6.

Why bother when your 10 year old game is selling better than games released this year.

Microsoft gains influence with another major publisher and still get what they want.

This deal is going through.

PS4 has to be the most supported console of all time. Its close to 10 years old and has still been receiving major releases in its 10th year (Hogwarts Legacy, Resident Evil 4 Remake, MGS Collection etc)

A PS Plus Premium Subscription and a $100 or cheaper used PS4 is insane value for someone new to gaming.

This is why i stick to single player games and even then I have to be mindful (ubisoft games)

Yakuza and Judgment games are excellent examples of actual games. You get 100s of hours of content and feel satisfied when you hit 100%

@Jacko11

Its top of the PSN Charts and likely the physical charts next week.

Companies know gamers are fools. Not even mad at Rockstar for swindling us. We accept it.

Have it on Xbox for £10 with better performance & Multiplayer.

Playstation users being bent over and shafted with this and based on the sales, willingly taking it.
