Remember renting this from Blockbuster when I was 13 or so and playing non stop over the weekend.

Looking back, absolutely wild I got the entire PS2 trilogy while I was in high school. And GTA6 is taking more than twice that long.

Unsure if I platinumed either game, but adored my time with both. Find memories of playing the first on Vita!

@UltimateOtaku91 I've seen multiple instances of TV show episodes being outright unavailable digitally now because the creator(s) thought the episodes are now in bad taste. Or movies being taken from Amazon's storefront for whatever reason and people losing access to those movies.

Is that what's happening now with Sony? No, but give these companies an inch....

@Almost_Ghostly ...

Herman, that you?

Disheartening to see people say this is a non issue.

I have a PS3. I haven't turned it on in quite some time. I shouldn't lose access to games PURCHASED WITH MONEY just because I haven't turned the damn thing on in awhile.

This is complete and utter anti consumer *****.

You will own nothing and you will like it.

#BuyPhysical

The fact that he's only selling them for $6 is amazing. May have to pick up some to support this work.

People really need to find better ***** to do with their time.

... Will have to add this to my PS3 Collector's Edition of MGS4

May need to buy Pro for this.

Wait.

Nvm.

I haven't played it, but I've seen the discourse on this and been... baffled? Amused?

I just think, at this point in gaming, we've seen devs and their games improve by leaps and bounds over what they have done in previous generations. Bethesda hasn't done that and, combined with a sense that they're ignoring their fanbase (Fallout 5? ES 6?), people are just tired of them.

Forget what version of their chair I bought, but it was definitely worth the investment. My wife has gone through numerous "office" chairs in the time I've gotten my Secretlab.

Looks inside article to see what "old."

Finds out I am, in fact, old.

Sobs.

@lazarus11 not angry. Or fake angry. Just pointing out what I'm seeing.

Any time I've seen any and all corporations unanimously decide to shove something down collective society's throats, it wasn't for our own good; quite the contrary. So forgive me if I'm skeptical about a company's use of this horse *****.

Sheesh. Didn't realize there were this many people schilling for the use of AI in artistic endeavors.

Goes to show you the folks who actually create and those that couldn't give 2 ***** about anything artistic.

Didn't have "agreeing with gaming's biggest doorknob" on my 2026 Bingo card but...

What a bunch of losers lol. I wish I had the amount of time that these dorks have to obsess over whether or not a game is "failing."

@Boomers-r-us To get to that level at a company as huge as Activision/Blizzard, it's essentially a requirement. You don't got to be a C-suite level Exec by being the guy everyone loves. Quite the opposite, actually.

My kid loves Lego. And I love Playstation. So I would probably buy this immediately

I remember when this came out. It was the first AC game I didn't play because of all the issues at launch.

I miss the old AC games. Gonna have to buy this and give it a shot now!

@Boxmonkey

... so financing a console. Insane. The fact that doing this with mobile phones is the norm now is ridiculous.

@Shaw_Brothers yes, it is.

It's isn't remotely offensive and those in the know, know. I laughed at it, and it takes a solid 5 second search in Google to find out.

Calmate.

Good. This only drives competition. And competition creates better games.

There is a very easy way to ease people's doubt about this yet y'all won't do that one thing.

People have the right to be worried. And probably should.

@Logonogo "The sales speak for themselves"

Nah, the market is doing the speaking unfortunately. The VAST majority of games these days are digital only without any physical option.

I'm down.

It's alluded to multiple times in Ragnarok that Faye is pretty badass; she stood toe to toe with Thor in a fight and the Leviathan Axe was made specifically for her.

Haven't played these games in years. Got kids now and I think they'd love this. Hopefully the setlist is great.

Glad it's good quality, but... It should be. I'm assuming this will be around $199? In no world should someone pay that much and it be ***** quality.

And it doesn't come with the physical game, which is bananas. Not news these days, I know, but stupid nonetheless.

Was really hoping to see the X-Men PS2 games here but this is sick, too!

Not as familiar with 3-5 as I am with the rest of the games, but I can't wait to get my hands on this. Glad to see the changes aren't THAT jarring. Going over to Reddit and everyone freaking out about stuff over there had me spooked.

Then I remember it's Reddit and those doorknobs have nothing better to do with their time.

Funny. I just saw this article:

https://www.pcguide.com/news/70-of-playstation-3-games-are-now-rated-playable-on-the-popular-rpcs3-emulator/

Maybe Sony should just give any and all support to this group of people who actually give a ***** about game preservation.

@Dalamar

Dunno man. My wife loves to put rouge on her cheeks and I cannot get ENOUGH.

That's what you meant, right?

On topic: game looks fun. I need more games like this so I can stop spending dozens of hours on Persona.

What a ***** move.

But also. Ahem

THIS IS WHY PHYSICAL MEDIA IS SO IMPORTANT!!!!!!!!!!

Demo schmemo. I'm buying the damn game immediately upon release.

You had me at "spiritual successor to the underrated PS4 Mad Max game."

And y'all wonder why they're taking their sweet ass time to release 6...

All we want - and by we, I mean probably just me - is to combine the best elements of Yakuza and Sleeping Dogs. That's it. Not too much to ask, right?

"...and thanks to a successful TV adaptation, it's back in vogue."

Sure as hell isn't because of anything they're doing with the games.

You guys have the stream going live on the 12th & 13th of February, not 22 December.

Can't wait for this though!

While you're at it, make owners of the physical copies eligible for the upgrade too.

@Enuo I'm in the same boat. Can't bring myself to give 2 ***** about the game after all the nonsense they've pulled over the past decade with GTA Online.

The Kamurocho sign at the end popped me. Can't wait for this!

I bought the game at launch mostly because I really wanted the steelbook that Best Buy was giving away with the game. Saw the reviews and let it collect dust until 2.0.

And now I've played through it twice with varying builds and will probably play it a 3rd time soon. Wonderful game.

Picked this up at launch, game had a bug that kept eating my saves, and I never played it again. May need to give it another shot after this update.

Most anticipated game of 2026. Cannot wait!

I own the physical copy of Kiwami 2. I'd assume free upgrade for those as well? Or are they saying digital for a reason....

As a parent of 2 kids 8 and under, I absolutely refuse to let them play games with this ***** in it. By consequence, the 8 year old loves AstroBot, Crash Bandicoot, and Sack Boy. You can blame companies all you want but, at some point, it's on the parents too.

ES6 was announced checks notes 7 YEARS AGO and I'm supposed to believe this clown and anything that leaves his lips at this point? C'mon dude.

Used to destroy people as Paul back in the day. Making me wanna jump back in.

Remember unlocking this little dude way back when. And being disappointed that he was borderline impossible to play as lol
