@Fiendish-Beaver I really wish I was as optimistic as you. I really, really do. Your version of what the future might be sounds wonderful, but I just can't see it happening.
And that's just for the digital console. Oof. I got the Ghost of Yotei limited edition PS5, which includes a download of the game, controller, AND a disc drive, for £420 in last year's black friday sales. These prices are insane.
@Theamazing1 See, it's talking like this that make people feel like they have no power. No, not everyone will betray their morals. Many people who never cared in the first place will keep buying, plenty who said they won't will stick to not buying any more EA games.
Believe in yourselves, people. Stick to your stand. Others are quietly doing the same.
So Sony didn't need to up console prices. The could have taken a little hit and still made billions.
Why is it that only us "consumers/poors/loyal customers" who have to tighten our belts and have less, but the big scumbag companies are making more money than anyone needs?
Why does everything need to be AAA? Nintendo has an attractive line-up of franchises because it has a wide range of types of games. Some are big sellers, like Zelda or Mario, and others are smaller, but still important for variety, such as Rhythm Heaven or Warioware.
They knew their product was broken and unfinished, but still chose to release it to scam customers. It was also never properly fixed on PS4, so I don't really trust them anymore.
"Only available for PS5 (unlike the digital versions which are PS4 as well), the physical copy includes both Retro Roundup and Toy Story 3 together as a double pack."
I agree these are stupid designs for actual armour, but nobody would blink if these were in an anime style game, so I'm not sure why Push Square is having such an issue with them.
EDIT: Although the developers' stance on women being in anything other than skimpy outfits is hugely problematic.
This is why I don't buy games digitally on Sony's systems very often. I simply don't trust them to not screw it up with a glitch. It's happened too many times.

Re: Do Not Miss This PlayStation All-Timer While It Costs Less Than a Frothy Coffee
Bloodborne is £3.99 and the entire Tomb Raider Survivor Trilogy is £4.49!
Re: Poll: Would You Pay $1,000 for a PS6?
No disc drive, no buy. It could be any price. Over £750 is just laughable.
Re: Viral Hit Supermarket Simulator Finally Opens Its Doors on PS5 This November
I might have given this a try if it didn't use AI generated images.

Re: 'No More Hand Written Code': Fortnite Dev's Disney Game to Be an 'AI First' Project
@Fiendish-Beaver AI is developed with the aim of improving the lives of the scum billionaires at the top. For everyone else, it will destroy lives.

Re: Poll: Are You Sold on GTA 6?
No physical, no buy. Unless it goes on a substantial sale.
Re: I Didn't Have a Golden Axe Cartoon on My 2026 Bingo Card
Just such over the top, unfunny American humour. Looks like absolute crap, and nothing like the games.

Good thing they're not putting this game on a disc to prevent spoilers! /s

Yep!

So, sorry, no sale.
Re: Reminder: The PS5 Release Schedule Is About to Become the Busiest It's Ever Been
I'll get the Toy Story Collection on PS4, assuming ig reviews well. Castlevania and Silent Hill will depend on reviews. That's about it.

Re: Poll: Did You Buy Halo: Campaign Evolved on PS5?
@Raffles Astro Bot and Horizon were both really good, and I loved Ape Escape back in the day. These days, it's more the third party support.
Re: Japan Studio Couldn't Keep Up with Sony's Push for Games That Would 'Drive Hardware Sales'

Re: Poll: Did You Buy Halo: Campaign Evolved on PS5?
No interest in a game-key disc or anything from Microsoft, really.
Re: There's No Doubt About It, Wolverine PS5 Looks Awesome
I'm still not convinced. The gameplay trailer shown before looked very by the numbers.

Re: 50+ Digital PS3, PS Vita Games to Buy Before It's Too Late
@Oram77 It closed. And now there's plenty of games you can't get any more.
Re: PlayStation Consoles to Stop Getting Disc-Based Physical Releases in 2028
Well f*** people who paid more for a PS5 with a disc drive, I guess.
At least I have a solid date for when I stop buying PlayStation games, as I refuse to buy digital.
Re: GTA 6 Not Expected to Run at 60fps on Any PS5 Console
Oh noooo, my poor eyessss. How can I possibly enjoy the game nowww?? /s
Re: GTA 6 PS5 Disc Hopes Seemingly Dashed by Rockstar Source
No disc, no sale. It's that simple.
Re: UK GTA 6 Buyers Pleasantly Surprised by No PS5 Pre-Order Price Hike
"Only" £70.
And not even a disc.

@DadJKP Yeah, we should just accept all our lives being made worse and the planet being destroyed.
Re: Stellar Blade: Blood Rain's Reveal Is Allegedly Riddled with Generative AI
Companies are making it so easy to not buy their games this gen.
Re: Poll: How Would You Rate Summer Game Fest 2026?
Yep, felt like E3! Mostly CGI trailers of people with guns, with very little gameplay, and almost nothing interesting shown.
Re: All the Best Toy Story Games Are Coming Back with Retro Revivals on PS5
"Only available for PS5 (unlike the digital versions which are PS4 as well), the physical copy includes both Retro Roundup and Toy Story 3 together as a double pack."
This is wrong. There's a physical coming to PS4 too. https://atari.com/products/toy-story-retro-roundup-physical?variant=47858633048229

I mean, it was also on PS4, but that console doesn't seem to exist anymore, according to PushSquare.

You really, really don't need trophies to enjoy a game. It's pretty sad that this is even an article at all.
Re: Overseas Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter Sales Propel Falcom Profits to Insane Heights
If the physical ever drops below £50, I'll get it.
Re: Lords of the Fallen 2's Idea of Female Armour Is Downright Embarrassing
I agree these are stupid designs for actual armour, but nobody would blink if these were in an anime style game, so I'm not sure why Push Square is having such an issue with them.
EDIT: Although the developers' stance on women being in anything other than skimpy outfits is hugely problematic.

Re: Assassin's Creed Fans Furious as Physical Copies of Black Flag's PS5 Remake Will Require Internet
@twick87 I didn't buy Shadows, didn't buy the Hogwarts game when Warner Bros. pulled the same crap, and I won't be buying this either. It's easy.
Re: Assassin's Creed Fans Furious as Physical Copies of Black Flag's PS5 Remake Will Require Internet
Just like Shadows. No sale!
Re: Poll: Are You Sold on Assassin's Creed: Black Flag's PS5 Remake?
I saw the dreaded "Internet Required To Install Game" on the game case. Now it's a definite no-buy.
Re: PS4 Game Expiry Timer Sparks DRM Concerns, Here's What We Know So Far
