Sony will follow with game prices, GoY will be the last one at £70.

Expect GP to rise by £2-3 in June/July. And although plus has risen in some countries I expect it to follow elsewhere.

I enjoyed it when I played it. I may be tempted again soon.

My only gripe was that it was a few hours too long, another mission just seemed to need doing.

@somnambulance problem right now is -

No one is buying Xbox - so subs aren’t increasing there.

They are pushing PC - but most PC gamers stick to steam where it’s often cheaper.

The biggest future growth - will be the play anywhere/GP on just tv etc … but the infrastructure isn’t there yet.

By the time everything is in place, what will the cost be?

I’ll be staying subscribed to GP, but as I’ve had it for years now and played stuff in the back catalogue, there will be months I unsubscribe now, wait till there’s a few games on it I want.

Started it, not very far yet.

Felt the devs deserved the early play rather than oblivion

Is it a ‘shadow drop’ if it’s already been leaked and everyone is expecting it to release?

So consoles up, not long till we get an increase in Plus prices.

Sony looking really messy this year.

@KoopaTheGamer oh yeah fully agree, just wanted people to know that this review is the lowest (by a decent margin) so it’s worth also reading elsewhere.

Certainly the lowest scoring review I’ve read of it.

Elsewhere seems to universally praise it much more. So I’d recommend reading several reviews.

Edit - in no way am I saying this review is wrong, just I’d recommend reading more than just this one.

So these countries now, rest to follow in summer, with GP not far behind.

Guess I’ll finally give hogwarts a go.

This will be the livestream where the switch2 ports get shown I guess

@HonestHick I meant it more sarcastically because PX is full of stupid switch articles too.

But console wars are (sadly) the only thing that drives traffic on PX. - and here we all are driving it on here too!

@HonestHick luckily PX is being just as cringe for you this week!

Anyone who voted they are ok with it, or would pay for certain games etc really need their head checking.

Polls like these are picked up by the companies. You may as well just email Sony and let them know you are willing to be fleeced.

And then people wonder why some people end up getting scammed etc.

I’ll be giving it a try on GP, so hopefully it runs decent on the S

@PloverNutter ooo didn’t notice that. Thanks for heads up!

Still really loving it.

I just wish the damn seikrets would be further away during a hunt.

Quite frustrating when using a HBG

Said elsewhere, the console is priced attractively for the upgrade.

The game prices? Not so, families are already struggling let alone without a large increase. I think this will hurt Nintendo.

How many parents can splash 75 on a new Mario?

@get2sammyb beat me to it by seconds!

Pro - console price, GameCube back compat, Mario kart, DK.

Cons - no oled, game prices, a lot of older games announced, upgrade costs.

I’m interested but probably not day 1

I wonder which game will be in the firing lines of the incels next?

Considering the have had DA and AC recently.

Anyway I’m glad shadows has started strongly and I look forward to playing it in the future

As I said on PX, I’m happy that so many people have tried this game, great for the devs.

I just hope that the many who played and stopped within first 30minutes, give it a real chance once the bugs and issues are patched.

Many are saying they dropped it early on (the beauty of GP)

@Llamageddon oh I’m not giving it grief at all. Honestly I’m glad Ubisoft got the win here. I’ll certainly be buying it in the future. (I always wait for ubi to drop price, yep I’m part of their problem!)

@Paramahansa are you totally missing something?

Ubisoft announced that AC shadows had 3million players (recently) total, that is across all consoles/PC and includes their subscription service.. meaning you can play it for £15.

Capcom announced that wilds (admittedly released couple of weeks earlier) has passed 10m in sales.

So that’s 3x more. And that’s not hating on shadows at all. That’s just the numbers.

They will just be holding off and releasing a ‘master edition’ type thing.

Makes sense for MS to spread their ‘bigger’ games across the year, or their is potential for fatigue.

Some hit and miss which is normal, as a good % will have played on Xbox/PC while many others will wait for a sale as the games are ‘old’ (even if new to ps).

But there is potential there for MS.

@naruball you will never get them from MS.

It’s a £50 AA game, it’s going to be janky and a mess on release.

That’s my guess anyway.

They are all just still playing monster hunter is all

I understand the devs don’t get the money from second hand sales.

But it contributes to the economy, creates jobs, lets people play things they may never have afforded before.

@heavyartillery56 you do realise it’s sold over 2million copies, that’s substantially better than Veilguard.

But you keep living under that rock

Im happy ubi are getting a commercial win, god knows they needed it

Sometimes I just read what people write on social media and I just sigh very heavily.

I’ll get it in a couple of months.

Let it be patched, updated and down to £30.

Same as I do with every AC

Guess I’ll get it in 3month when it’s 50% off

@themightyant how do you think it would go for MS considering Ubisoft have the rights to ABK stuff on xcloud? (Or whatever the exact deal was in the merger)

You think regulators would let them do more deals with Ubisoft? I know this one’s different but the other deal is still there

I said it on purexbox but I can’t see what Ubisoft have that MS really need?

Rainbowsix/division - they have cod
Crew - Forza
Rayman - banjo etc

Farcry?AC? Probably crazy expensive and can imagine ubi want to keep them.

I think MS have enough available in back catalogue to not need any.

It’s going to sell well. It’s Bethesda, it just will do decent.

But there will be a lot of grumbling and disappointment with it. Just as there was on Xbox/pc.

It was a 7/10 on release it’s probably 8/10 after some QoL

@KundaliniRising333

Unless they are doing the ‘early access’ nonsense. They can shadow drop it anytime (is it even a shadow drop if it’s leaked?!) because MS are releasing it onto a sub service primarily. So they don’t need to build up much fanfare.

If anyone thinks that MS/meta etc haven’t also looked at implementing AI in this way and in games in general then they will have a shock

@themightyant it’s the same few of us who protest on PX that also protest here.

There’s the usual posters who support everything MS does regardless that don’t mind it

It’s a scummy tactic. Whoever does it.

@OldGamer999 except it sells far more than 2:1. That figure is now outdated.

Series consoles sold 2.5m in 2024, Sony sold 5m in the last quarter alone.

This is the reason why MS are going multi platform. If they hadn’t been lucky with PS shortages at the start of the generation then that gap would be much wider.

It’s amazing that people still don’t understand that outside of the few people that post here, they don’t play the games we do.

They play live service. Look at the most played games on any platform.

The live service numbers dwarf anything a great single player game can bring.

Sony want some of that live service money to fund the ever growing expensive single player games.

It’s the reason why MS spent so much money on some of the biggest live service games out there. And it’s the reason why Sony will keep on trying to find the games that do this.

@carlos82 I agree it’s ridiculous and can’t see many people taking this up.

But people often do the same with cars etc.

Wasn’t the rumours in the last week that they were releasing it on ps4/xbone?

I think it should have been £70 complete edition.

Regardless of my personal opinion it is going to sell in bucket loads.

@darkswabber so you are agreeing it’s cosmetic then?

Because absolutely nothing you have mentioned affects anything other than cosmetics.

You can’t buy weapons, progression etc

It’s cosmetic only. Doesn’t affect the game in the slightest so far better than many MTX in most games.

I think most people would be happy if MTX was limited to just cosmetic

I guess that WW had to be a fair amount of time away. If not it would be wild to cancel it so late.

But they do have form with the batgirl movie or whatever it was that got cancelled
