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
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.
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.
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.
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.
The sad reality is gamers have shown they don't care about these practices so although we on here may be outraged, I fully expect this port to sell well on PS4/5 and especially Nintendo Switch.
Gamers tolerated GTA 5 on PS4 and then tolerated Shark Cards and then tolerated GTA 5 now PS5 and now GTA Plus and it still continues to sell like hotcakes.
He is laughing at us because he knows once the rage passes, it will still bring in many more millions.
Consistently the best selling games of the year after year.
Baffles me too but If people have shown they are willing to pay £60-70 every year for a few updates, I would give the people what they accept from us as a publisher.

Re: Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters Surpass a Combined 3 Million Sales
@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.
Re: Three More PS Plus Essential Games Are Available to Download Now
Currently playing and loving Lost Judgment, have no desire to play these so hard pass for this month.

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

Re: Reminder: Last Chance to Stack PS Plus Subscriptions Before Price Rise
Got 1 year of PS Plus Premium left and once that runs out, will downgrade to PS Plus Extra on a sale.
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for September 2023?
Has to be one of the worst months in PS Plus history.

Re: PS Plus Essential Games for September 2023 Announced
Sony reeking of early PS3 levels of arrogance again.
Re: PS Plus Essential, Extra, Premium Price Increases Announced by Sony
Gamepass is cheaper than PS Plus Premium and gives far better perks with Starfield dropping Day 1.
Re: Reaction: Has Sony Put Together the Worst PS Plus Month Ever?
The fact the Saints Row Reboot is considered the best game of the month, just goes to show how abysmal this month is.
Re: Rumour: PS Plus Essential Game for September 2023 Leaked Early
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

A game with no ending isn't for me.

Re: Rumour: God of War Ragnarok DLC Expansion Deep in Development for PS5

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

Re: Enjoy 9 Minutes of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Campaign Gameplay
They could release the same game with a new cover and it would still sell millions.
Re: UK Sales Charts: PS5 Slingshots GTA 5 to Number Two
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.
Re: Microsoft to Sell Activision Blizzard Streaming Rights to Ubisoft in Revised Deal
Microsoft gains influence with another major publisher and still get what they want.
This deal is going through.

Re: Poll: Is 'Live Service' Becoming an Excuse to Release Unfinished Games?
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%
Re: Red Dead Redemption PS4's Platinum Less of a Grind In Unexpected Bright Side
@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.
Re: Poll: Did You Buy Red Dead Redemption's PS4 Port?
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.
Re: Red Dead Redemption Runs at 4K, 30FPS on PS5
@XFsWorld
Which will sadly sell millions. Gamers encourage the laziness
Re: Red Dead Redemption PS4 Port Becomes Top Ranking Title on PS Store
@Arnna
Thats how microtransactions and releasing broken games became the norm.
Gamers have been conditioned to beta test games at launch and be drip fed content every few months
Re: Red Dead Redemption PS4 Trends on PS Store as $50 Port Attracts a Lot of Attention
This is why Rockstar don't care about the vocal minority. People will complain and it will still sell like hotcakes at $50.
They have no reason to change because gamers have shown they will pay
Re: Feature: Saints Row Expansion Pass Review - Is It Worth Buying?
Apologies for anyone who paid for this game
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for August 2023?
Lost Judgment alone makes this a stellar month.
Glad I didn't buy it in the last sale lol
Re: First Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Trailer Revealed
@theSpectre
Almost certainly not. They are bundled together. Warzone is their money maker.

Re: 17 New PS Plus Extra, Premium Games Revealed for Huge Update Next Week
@DarkTron
This is to ensure that when this month passes, people are still able to claim and play Dreams.
There will be more PS5 users buying consoles later in the year and this allows them to try it out
Re: Sony's PS5 Shipments Now Total 41.7 Million
To think they have managed these numbers without having many PS5 only games is wild.
Returnal
Ratchet and Clank
Final Fantasy 16
Demon Souls
Re: GTA 6 Release Window Seemingly Narrowed Down to Fiscal Year 2024
@Splat
Its almost a certainty that GTA Online 2.0 will be its main focus.
Going to be loaded with microtransactions and GTA Plus. I expect them to minimise the single player and incentivize people to play online.
The Rockstar we knew has been dead for a long time.
Re: Poll: Will You Be Buying Red Dead Redemption on PS4?
No interest at all. Played and beaten several times on PS3.
Re: Saints Row Gets Another Huge Update Ahead of Third and Final Expansion

Re: Poll: Will You Be Muting Your PS5's Beep?
Beep lets me know if I accidentally turn on the console so It shall stay.

Re: Hands On: The Expanse: A Telltale Series PS5, PS4 Gets Off to a Strong Start
@Rob_230
Well said. This episodic format where you wait for the next episode really messes up the consistent flow of the game.
They are basically telling people not to bother getting it until the full season is complete.
Re: Lara Croft, Nicki Minaj Coming to Call of Duty

Re: PS5 Sales Live Now in More Regions, Save $50/£75
PS5 Slim is almost certainly on its way.
Black Friday deals should be great
Re: PS5 Console Sales Surpass 40 Million, Sony Confirms
@Arnna
Agreed. My friends haven't bothered upgrading because there has literally been no reason for them to.
They played GOW Ragnarok. Horizon Forbidden West, Hogwarts Legacy and they love COD so they have been playing COD MW2 as well.
The only time I can see them upgrading is this winter once Spider-Man 2 and games like FF7 Rebirth come out which are PS5 only.
Re: PS5 Console Sales Surpass 40 Million, Sony Confirms
This winter is the only time there is a real need to upgrade. Nearly all PS5 exclusives can be found on PS4.
Re: Skate 4 Playtests Will Kickflip onto Console Eventually, EA Promises
Lost me at "Free To Play"
All I heard was "Microtransactions and ads"
Re: Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Will Feature the Same Mary Jane Face Model, Insomniac Insists
I am more invested in knowing how this game improves upon the first one than someone's hairstyle.

Re: Of Course Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3's Logo Leaks from a Pack of Monster Energy Drinks

Fifa (Now EA Sports FC 24)
Call Of Duty
NBA 2K24
Consistently the best selling games of the year after year.

Re: Insomniac Games May Have a Third AAA PS5 Exclusive in Development
Makes you wonder what the heck are the other studios doing when Insomniac could have 3-4 games released this generation so far and they have none yet.
