The amount of people interested in buying a Halo game, who are unable to connect their PS5 to the internet is zero.

@datamonkey just play it now on an emulator

@INeedGoodGraphics games sell consoles, consoles don't sell games. You have it backwards bruv

@THEBrew triggering intensifies.

Oh dang, no "put plastic ***** on a shelf and forget about" edition! They will just have to be happy with a video game to play.

@Sammy_G trying to justify that misguided purchase huh?

VR is dead

But all these price increases are worth it because every day AI gets better at stealing human jobs.

@LikelySatan forgive me for living in modern times. Perhaps if you cannot deal with the realities of our current world, you would be better served heading over to Time Extension. I hear some more mediocre SNES games just got a new physical re-release, no internet required!*

*Internet required to actually buy the game

If you can read this comment, you have the ability to get online and download the update. How long are people going to whine about this non-issue?

The same players who cry about mandatory online checks love how their games are constantly updated via online updates to make them better.

Go figure

@Ken_Kaniff yeah, that's typically how society works, the places where a lot of people live get cool ***** that the rural dorks don't.

It's 2026 and there are still Always Online dorks crying about video games existing that weren't made for them.

Yeah, gotta pre-order what will be the most popular and plentiful game in human history. You might miss out.

Moral of the story: create levels, not algorithms

Remember folks, AI is absolutely, positively 100 percent the future of gaming.

The same fear mongering Sony DRM folks are the ones coming up with this completely illogical $100 GTA6 stuff. It's just noise, and something they manufactured so they have something to complain about until the game comes out.

@Haruki_NLI if I buy a loaf of bread and forget to eat it and it goes bad, that's my fault, not the baker's. Consumers are responsible for managing and taking care of the things they buy.

Are there really players in 2026 who go 30+ days without connecting their console to the Internet? This is another big nothing.

Spoiler: it's not, and I don't even need to play it to tell you that

@Luigia yeah, the way they were meant to be played.... several decades later and with the Saudi's, not the original developers, raking in all the money

Saw the Galaxy movie on opening night, in a theater packed with kids, and they all loved it. Who gives a ***** about what critics think about something not made for them?

Shacknews whining about the LUDONARRATIVE DISSONANCE (remember when people used to knock Uncharted for this?) in a game where you play as a cartoon mouse is pretty hilarious.

Great news for people who love shooters where the shooting is the worst part of the game

@AnginaPectoris "git gud" can also be said about developers who lean on alogrithms instead of design chops.

Imagine how great this would be if the developer took time to actually make well designed and thought out levels instead of the algorithm spitting out the same variations on a theme over and over again

@Queesh don't want it to be too good eh?

@freddquadros sir, this is a Wendy's. Uh, I mean a Level-5 story. They had nothing to do with Wild Arms 5

@UnlimitedSevens why does physical music still exist? Why does Walmart still have $5 DVD bins? Because consumers enjoy choices. Physical media will always exist, and that includes games. It's MUCH more economically viable for Sony to sell you a console and have you buy games, either physical or digital, in which they get a cut of each copy.

@GeminiX53 I live in the real world, where game streaming isn't even close to the same thing as video and audio streaming. The same real world where Google Glass and VR headsets flopped despite being the wave of the future and backed by tech titans. The same real world where 3D TVs don't exist anymore because consumers rightfully recognized it was a gimmick and far inferior to the normal way they've been consuming content for almost a century.

Tell me why a consumer would pay full retail price for a WORSE experience that's less reliable, slows down the Internet in the rest of their house, and eats up their data cap? You can't. You just say "future future future" as if economic and infrastructure issues don't exist now and won't be even worse then.

@Neonix finally, someone who knows what they are talking about!

@GeminiX53 I'll print them off and keep them next to the dozens of VR headsets that were supposed to be the future by now. How did that turn out?

Streaming a song or a movie off a server is a completely different business model than streaming games. And it's a business model nobody has found a way to capitalize on because it's a losing model.

Do people think Internet bandwidth is free? That the pipes are magical? And that everyone online has a blazing fast, always online connection? Some of you people truly are clueless, and the type who probably think flying cars and teleporters are right around the corner.

@GeminiX53 bro, Netflix can't even handle too many people watching a Jake Paul fight, and that's basic streaming video. Your jock riding on this topic is weird, and makes me think you were an Ouya backer who still thinks people want to pay premium prices for laggy games.

@Juanalf OH NO, 30 FRAMES PER SECOND!!!!!!

I spent $65 on 16GB of RAM in 2020

32GB of RAM is now $500

The largest companies on Earth are in an arms race to build data centers the size of small towns. This is the result. If you think Sony is just being greedy, you've got your head in the sand, ignoring a bigger issue.

But I was told last week that the controls were flawless and it's the reviewers who were wrong.

Remember folks, journalists are only allowed to write game reviews when you agree with everything they say.

@WolfyTn if you can't fill your game with human made *****, scale back the scope of your game

@NielsNL I explored the hell out of every environment in Resident Evil Requiem, and didn't see a single piece of work that didn't look like it was done by a human who gave a ***** about quality.

Standards have sunk to a new low from both developers and players.

"We apologize that you caught us. We will be more careful in the future with hiding the ways in which we take money out of the pockets of workers to give to tech CEOs.'

What improvements? Several commenters here say the game is fantastic and totally worth paying full price on day 1!

@Doomcrow is the Western Media Boogeyman in the room with you right now?

Some of you people truly, madly, deeply need to get offline and outside.

@MrPeanutbutterz a big ass open world game with tons of "scope" doesn't mean anything if the game itself plays like garbage and you can't even remap controls.

It's wild how this game has broken so many brains. The people who bought into the hype and already paid full price simply MUST defend it and justify their purchase. And on the flip side there's an odd collection of people cheerleading for its failure.

@lazarus11 it was an incredible looking game that came completely out of nowhere, made by nobodies, and ended up not only living up to the hype, but exceeding it.

@Ambassador_Kong is this fanboy stuff STILL going on in 2026? Grow up dude.

This game is just further proof of how amazing Clair Obscur is

@Oram77 I remember when my entire 5th grade class refused to play Aladdin on SNES because it didn't run at 60 fps.

@Oram77 of course. What else are gamers going to do online besides complain about anything and everything? Actually PLAY games? Pfffph!
