Loving rematch with the friend group. Only frustration is a bunch of the trophies are bugged blocking the platinum.

Assuming this is how they will look at live service games. Just put on everything possible? But not on gamepass and late. Will this sell like 40,000 copies or something

Wasnt one of them from a 2nd party publishing deal with xbox or am i mistaking with another. Seems like xbox is cutting alot of those publishing deals with the restructure

Weren’t people touting how much money candy crush and mobile was printing for Microsoft?
Not just gamepass effect, but xbox’s games have been mediocre at best and generally agenda driven. Like more and more of western games, its not a shocker less people are buying them. For xbox more people care about their 360 and OG games being ported than their new and upcoming lineup

I’d love if this meant playstation was leaning more towards games and products from japan and eastern devs. Thats where most of the desired games are coming from

@HallowMoonshadow FR. No one wants this game then theyll be like no one wants the games on PS.

Again with players with how many played via subscription. On pc the peak 24 hour is under 200. No one is playing this

@SBBuds honestly the snobs at Microsoft would probably laugh at others who lose their jobs

@SeaDaVie machine games have made well selling games in the past. Compulsion and ninja theory both make games that maybe top a million over time. And their games now taking 7-8 years and cost going up, while cutting on gamepass for 6/10 games make them a prime candidate

@Reeneman it certainly didn’t help with expectations with xbox and their social parrots claiming this was the best thing since sliced bread. They were calling it the last of us for xbox and the studio was their naughty dog

Fell off the first gameplay. They do well from a graphic standpoint but if the game is an absolute bore and chore, it doesn’t really mean much. Most reviews have said it got much worse on the gameplay department with most of the 5 hours being cutscenes or just walking straight

@ThomasHL goalies rotate for each goal scored. But if the goalie leaves the box, they tear off gloves and anyone can run in to take the role

@OldGamer999 i think thats more Nintendo just trying to force people to digital ecosystem then them being generous. They already made their games $80 when their budgets and profits dont demand it

I’ll likely pass on this game. Maybe MR CEO can help “make it happen” for their gamers

@GASEOUS yeah but square likely got more significantly more money from the exclusivity deal than they made on xbox and px combined.

The media will still spin the idea that $1 revenue minus platform split is somehow greater than >$210 million in revenue in a week on playstation.

Did exclusivity hurt the game on xbox. Maybe to a degree, but you would expect it to atleast sell hundreds of thousands for something “so sought after on xbox”.
Even at $50 and includes DLC, the base also will wait for it to go to gamepass

What else does embracer own. That seems to be one of the main pipeline games are gonna come from

I would just take a PS2 with built in memory and hd, just so i can play my ps2 games

They are not giving up. They still have Bungie burning billions of dollars in their stables and Haven who will likely not release a game

Wasted all the time on live service and have to restart. Gonna be alot of unneeded people for a bit. I’ll be interested to see what they come up with. With how they treated Days Gone and the people who won that battle, i don’t believe the game will be very appealing from a character and story standpoint

I’ll just wait for deep sales on games like any that go into gamepass day 1. Theres no reason to support them day 1 and at higher prices if they turn around and offer for a fraction elsewhere

Great more people can play it. Maybe now the hate and slander from media will stop. Already annoyed with the usual people demanding it be in gamepass when its only $50 including dlc.

@Oram77 yeah and in Japan they subsidized the price there by $100+ cheaper.

Ps5 launched during the pandemic with supply constraints and start of harder economic times. Also pretty sure the switch 2 has been ready and been stacking storage for quite a long time. With how much they had warehoused pretty easy to burst out

Wonder why sega is selling its soul yo the vast minority of its playerbase

Great to see this game re-emerge. Looking forward to seeing more

More of a Square or Sega guy myself

I’ve really been falling out of this type of game. I’ll still be interested but at a much lower price point

Was interested at start until i thought it was exclusive to switch. Definitely interested in it now

@trev666 i don’t think its solely Square problem as thats just a partnership. Most western devs need to look at why their products cost so much and efficiency issues compared the East. Plus i imagine there are a ton of people in western companies (not gaming specific) where u have a ton a people who really dont do much and drive up the cost

How many games did they have in development there at once? Always seemed like they were all over the place from a time and resourcement commitment standpoint

Got it on steam and sure as hell will be buying on PS

Well glad ive just waited for complete edition and drop in price. Will wait longer

Grandparents gonna be telling grandkids in the future of what caused the riots of May 2025

All this comment does is plant doubt in this game. Also probably just confirms preorders are very low and they want sympathy preorders. It was on my list for a deep sale price.

The characters s themselves wont be changed correct? Dont want any swappings going on

I’d edit Dragon Age out of the list titles games you should buy

I’ll just replay their older games.

Interesting that when a company actually sells copies they make note of it instead of total players.

Also take note bigger pubs, if you make a great game and characters you will sell copies. And turn-based games are possible to sell as well

Can anyone advise of the way to downgrade subscription. Looking to drop from premium to extra

There really isnt a reason to get premium. The choices of classics suck

Interesting month with alone in the Dark and as a group that has continued to mess around w 3v3 in nhl for 100 hours, i will take nba 2k to mess with friends online.

Will ps plus sub be discounted for current members or only for new signups?

Save ya money.

With this and hypercharge, my group has 2 games to reenergize MP

Its surprising developers arent asking them if they can get out of any timed exclusives seeing as xbox themselves are no longer doing it

Always funny that a company like bungie who prides themselves on being so progressive are actually one of the most toxic and unethical in the business. Not crazy to believe just funny

PS first party studios are cooked for this gen with very few of note coming. Luckily they have the dominant hardware getting 30% rips on everything otherwise many of the teams more would have been shuttered or more heavily gutted

Can’t even reward people who spend alot on their platform with the occasional $5 reward.
