Is this covered? Not cheap if Rolling plan is selected, but still, Sony promoted Playstation leasing in UK

"He explained: “Releasing on PC does many things: it reaches a new audience who do not own consoles – especially in regions where consoles are not as popular."

And then follow up with PSN requirement to block game access in more than 190 countries/regions
This was little bit hilarious.

@Ainu20 if we take your view as 100% rigght, that there would never be mistakes from experienced people. But its not reality. They wanted something more. They started at it and after many years and possibly more deeper consultation with Bungie for example they understood that creating game is only small part of live service and maintaining live service would need same resources again and again. Why it is so hard to believe in simple truth around this? Not everything must be so difficult and hard to figure out. They tried, got knowledge how it would look like and at the end decided they dont want to go that route anymore. If you are not ready to make mistakes on your journey, you will never start any journey.

Ehh, tried Demo. And it is too much reading. KCD2 everything is voice acted, here it is deal breaker for me. Looks fun but I really like to "hear" more. (

I would love to continue to play. But I am not touching Civ7 till those first patches drops on PS5. In general I enjoy game.

@Frmknst and what is not immersive about this world? Subjectively Poor game? Why would you rate like that?

I picked it up with Founders edition. And that already comes with steep price. I would expect that after October they will announce Year 2 Season Pass for another 30-40£.
But I am happy with the game in general. I am not mega fan of Civ series, but this years game feel great with all the Gameplay changes. Sadly there is too many game crashes but every turn autosave is atleast helping with that.

@EthanMars you dont have active Offline play? Or you are reffering to Online game?

I have over 20hrs in on PS5. And I am happy with game in general. Yes, it crashes, but savegames are awsome.
Tried coop multiplayer with my wife and even there are autosaves if some error happens or just to continue next day to play.

On bad parts, there are almost 0 descriptions for settings when starting game.

For me as Casual Civ player I dont see any gameplay issues with game. Everything seems works as it should gameplay wise. Grind for Mementos are real but it is expensive game, thats true. I managed to spend "only" 97£ for Founders edition, but still. I am guessing they will drop 2nd year Season pass after October.

@ironcrow86 one likes and another doesnt? And you are saying that those both cant be truth at the same time? Interesting concept

Criterion team is working on Battlefield game since 2023 September. There was left 10ish devs who stayed and developed extra year of content for NFS Unbound. And now that small team joined to others.

200k queue to just register interest for these playtest opportunities )

@Judal27 oh you silly. GTA 6 and GTA Online 2.0 lifetime budget is over 2 billion $. It will be special.

I will maybe look towards FH6 on Day 1. Getting this game with almost 900 cars? Thats too overwhelming for new player. And living in Menu more than racing aswell seems trend with this game. Maybe I am totally wrong, then be free to tell me that.

I'm getting older and those bad practices are catching me in, because whats the point to wait for significant sale 1-2 years later, I better play now. I waited 2 years for GOW:R to drop to 50% off and it wasnt really worth it.

After those previews for some YT people I preorder Founders Edition. I'm ready to conquer World by Force, Monetary systems, Culture or Science. Game looks awsome. And the music... mmm.

@OthmaneAD Sims 4 would disagree with you.
Why does Dragon Age Inquisiton received DLC?
ME Andromeda has two non story DLC you probably dont count it.
NFS games has some DLC
EA WRC is getting DLC's

But in general, they do not make good SP games. Star wars was okay. Aveum flopped, and Veilguard flopped aswell. Yesh sold over 1 million copies, but that is flop for big company and investment to create game

@LavenderShroud Dragon Age Veilguard was in headlines aswell. How that turned out?

@PorkChopExpress oh stop it. If game would be successfull then there would be DLC. If that would not be expected they wouldnt be mentioning that in first place. It is EA game, you have to monetize games more than smaller companies do due to costs maintaining large teams.

@wiiware oh, using atomic bomb monument for their toy is okay? Copy Japanese national symbols in game which is forbidden from Japan stance for any monetisation is okay? Sending nonsense text to Japanese streamers to promote game? Releasing now game on national terroract 30th anniversary is okay? Using hip hop song to show off Yasuke is okay? They have done so many misteps and yoy still defend such lazy research and respect for nation which culture is about "respect".
Maybe game is not so bad, especially that now it is confirmed that outside Tutorial you can play all game with one character if you wish, but still they have created bad narrative themselves.

@PorkChopExpress you are just lying. You dont play it for free and now you claim you would pay 70? keep that EA hate rolling xD

@dark_knightmare2 and? In most protests you can find that most people are not affected by what they are protesting, and thats why they cant join in protest? Yes, especially that there are no benefits to own Sony account either play large role. Maybe Sony BS about security and integrity of games needed by implementing that Sony account aswell plays role? But you keep this attitude, that Sony is doing everything correctly. I come from one of those EU countries which doesnt have Sony/Xbox region, while every other company doesnt have issue to provide that. Now I'm living in UK, and it doesnt affect me, but lots of my friends back in there are not even able to buy it on their Steam account. I will not be positivie about lack of Sony respecting everyone and stop this BS about creating two worlds out there.

@Jamesblob is Sega limiting their account to not be opened in 180+ countries? Why are you bringing up this, when Sony is at wrong in general. There would be lot less backlash for another account if it wouldnt take away access to games in most of the World. Even if those player numbers are minority.

@RoomWithaMoose 1st trailer date was promoted like that on GTA Online T-shirt "One day will reveal it all". So if you dont care about it doesnt mean it couldnt happen. And why not have some silly fun while waiting for something to happen? You are tired of that? Then skip past GTA6 posts

This is full video from RGG DirectShowcase. Probably they will create many shorter videos ones to put on Playstation and ramp up promoting game.

I am agreeing with conspiracy, that French brothers and Tencent are smashing company to ground to push out all other investors soon and then with buy-out they would bring company back to Private status. There is some shady political game in background.

@Balaam_ you can use all those services in all over world. Sony is NOT

@WavesOfActivity that is main issue why I stopped to play it. I dont like it

@silversteel91 why there are games which looks and runs better on PS5 PRO? How that is a con? Where it is stated as "New console"? Sony has been pretty upfront about it, have not made imaginery BS. I dont get the hate about this )

@get2sammyb Merry christmas. I am grinch and very rude

All this post is utterly rubbish.
It all started from two Rockstar Devs from R* North, thay posted photos with new R* merch with GTA6 color scheme.
One posted Cat in a bag. Other posted Cat out of bag in background, and this guy has captured in photo paper with lot of numbers and hotel name in Florida which stated booking 27.12, Auto shop phone number "27Auto sales" on 27 road, etc

Maybe that is all just fun from those devs, but all that 27 numbers came after that theory just to extra "proove" 27 number meaning. Low quality post this is. Even for crazy theory

Cool. Yes, I have now 5£ and 10£ rewards svailable. Collected 5£ while it is available. Never know about that with Playstation.

Yeah, continue what PS Portal is doing, but usable without internet connection. "Take Playstation with you wherever you go"

@sanderson72 i will disagree. Xbox is ugly, 0 design

@OldGamer999 Because everything must be done straight away. Game reviews are relevant only first couple days. You have to put out video for most value. But this game wasnt ready for Pre-Reviews. Now it is suffering.

@OldGamer999 why are you spamming same response again and again? Full comment section with this blob

@XenonKnight Series X.

@DennisReynolds maybe better watch livestream for now. Game today got 36GB patch. 136GB patch 2 days ago. Eho knows how old prr review copy they got.
I played 2 hours on Xbox today. Zero bugs and mess. Yeah, not locked 60fps, but it is playable

This is LAST content update to game. There was already great deals for Ultimate edition which includes all paid seasonal content. But don't expect anything new after 3 months or more. This is it. But it has plenty of things to do etc. And all these updates are for Online. Base Story campaign hasnt been changed since release.

@Blauwe_Chimay it is already too old for that. And it is decent as PS5 version goes.

I haven't played Original games. And I'm avoiding anything from that side of spoiler. This Remake Trilogy is awsome for me. I enjoyed 1st Remake, I am enjoying Rebirth on Pro finally and I will definitely pre-order final game. Let them create something epic )

@DonJorginho you are easily forgetting that they raised PS5 prices after release. And now you are saying they will drop them? To original price?

@DonJorginho coping already? PS5 pricing vs PS4 PRO was just a fluke? Fingers crossed xD

@bighal Isnt Playstation selling all Activision games? Why are you fixated so much on GamePass. Overall revenue is important, thats why you buy those companies.
Zero of real world ads for Black Ops 6 mentioned GamePass. It is telling something. But XB is no loser at any point. They got yearly cash cow on their hands, only need to continue to milk it "correctly", so people come back for more and more throigh GamePass or buying on PC/PS

@Savage_Joe such things doesnt change in next morning. Only time will tell how it will work out.

@get2sammyb why would you say that? I am very happy with Funko Pop Diablo almost full set

Definately. I have not played any previous such type games.

@rjejr I have 7 controllers at home after getting PS5 Pro. 3 of those are broken.
No cleaning will help stick drift because it is physical damage most likely.
I opened all stick drift controllers I have, and I tried to clean them, but every one of those has damaged black colored strips in those joysticks inner parts. And that is not fixable by cleaning. It will quickly start to stick drift again.
Just poor quality to push for Controller sales. I would easily spend extra 10 money for nonstick drift controller, but that would not benefit SONY.

@GADG3Tx87 I can't agree with such mindset. 190 countries are not on list. Such attitude as yours feels very rubbish. Sony should fix that, and provide every country with possibility to open PSN account. I can understand request for PSN account, but make it available for everyone, no matter if those are 5%.

@somnambulance Stellar Blade will never be Classic. It is too much Controversial, even if its true gameplay is solid

@IOI I just started to play FF7 Rebirth on PRO. Still in Prologue, but imo it looks so much better and it kooks on another level in Versatility mode. I wouldnt really put Stellar close to GOTY, it is specific type of game, but it is great Action game tho.

@LogicStrikesAgain Yeah, there are couple variants how to go about that. But that type of game would be great game to Celebrate history of Playstation and brave future ahead of us. Maybe for 40th Anniversary?
