@11001100110zero @Oram77 I'm lucky that I get a 6% discount at Argos through my job, and this got me £30 off an already great black friday deal. Plus some other gift cards I had. So yeah, I'm well chuffed!
Nice for Japanese players. I've finally succumbed and bought the gold Ghost of Yotei PS5 console plus a copy Astro Bot in a Black Friday deal from Argos! There are actually some really good deals in the UK this year!
Reminds me of being a Nintendo fan during the Wii U era when they simply abandoned it and put games on mobile and ported a load of its exclusives to 3DS.
Sounds just like Black Ops 2 (the last COD I bought). Is there actually any difference in the gameplay these days, or is it really just the same every year?
@Runex2121 In the same way retro gamers like buying old cartridge games or PS1/2 games, why shouldn't we be able to buy old games that were digital-only on the PS3 to experience them?
That's enough of a problem too. Old games I want to try on these consoles, I cannot buy. They are completely unavailable if they don't have proper, physical copies. And there's nothing to say Nintendo won't suddenly remove the ability to redownload purchases on a whim.
Nintendo have already closed down the Wii's, Wii U's, DSi's, and 3DS's eShops. And recently Miyamoto stated he feels games are simply products to be sold, not art to be preserved. Nintendo WILL close down the Switch 2 eShop and keycards WILL become useless plastic. I won't be buying any.
@Jey887 @Ralizah It was more the remaking games with content missing only to sell it as DLC later, day one DLC, day one DLC on re-releases, and no upgrade paths on PS5 versions of PS4 games. Those are what made me stop supporting Atlus. They can replace voice actors if they want to. I've no problem with that.
Great! Even less of a reason to buy a PS5 if Sony are putting out these games on other platforms. Saves me money. Looking forward to the new Everybody's Golf, Patapon 1+2, and hopefully Ape Escape on Switch.
Pretty shocking that this is the level of insanity that DLC/microtransactions have reached. I'll simply just not buy the game or any others made by Crapcom. No skin off my nose.

Re: Looks Like PS5 Is Going to Clean Up This Black Friday
Well it worked for me! I finally bought the Ghost of Yotei gold PS5, with Astro Bot, Expedition 33, and Final Fantasy VI for a cool £454 in total.

Re: Horizon MMO Uses AI 'Extensively' in Development, Says NCSOFT
No interest in AI slop.
Re: The Next Horizon Game Is an MMO for Mobile and PC, Prompting Fury from PS5 Fans

Re: Don't Expect Any PS5 Exclusives from Square Enix in the Future
@Toot1st Same thing.
Re: In Japan, Switch 2 Retail Sales Are Already Closing on PS5
They shouldn't include key cards in the physical sales, really.
Re: Don't Expect Any PS5 Exclusives from Square Enix in the Future
That's fine. I won't be buying any more Squeenix games anyway, after them firing staff and wanting Q&A to be 70% AI.
Re: Talking Point: If Xbox Drops the Cost, Would You Be Happy Still Paying for PS6 Multiplayer?
Paying for online has always been a scam. I have not paid, and will continue to not pay.

I'd rather they were nowhere.
Re: There Are Big Concerns About Plants vs Zombies' PS5, PS4 Re-Release
I got the Steam version for 90p a few years ago. I guess I'll stick with that if this is true. And the DS version.

Re: Call of Duty Is Trying Everything It Can to Make You Play Black Ops 7 Over Battlefield 6
Sounds just like Black Ops 2 (the last COD I bought). Is there actually any difference in the gameplay these days, or is it really just the same every year?
Re: Battlefield 6 PS5 Physical Copies Break Street Date, Full Game on Disc
So it's just as useless as a game key disc, because when the servers go down you've got yourself an expensive drinks coaster.
Re: Sounds Like Sony May Finally Be Starting to Wind Down PS4 Support
So could someone explain what this actually means for games released after spring? What do most of these things do?

Re: New PS5 Slim Is Cheaper in Every Way Except the Retail Price, New Teardown Video Reveals
"However, due to global conditions outside the company's control..."
No. Due to having the best ever profits still not being enough for the scumbags in charge, Sony are nickel-and-diming even more .
Re: PlayStation's New 'Rewards' Program Goes Down Like a Lead Balloon
I think Sony dropped the 'L' from their "For The Players" slogan this gen.
Re: Even More Xbox Price Increases Make PS5 Look Like a Good Deal
@LuDaurre Agreed. I'm playing PS4 and Switch games, and have no interest in getting any of the current gen consoles.
Re: PS4 Is Still Getting Firmware Updates Too, Here Are the Patch Notes
Yep, still on PS4. Not really seeing any reasons to "upgrade" to PS5.
Re: Rumour: To Avoid Even More PS5 Price Increases, Digital Edition to Get Reduced SSD Space
Yawn. Shareholders and CEOs want all the money in the world. It's been so easy to just check out of this terrible, greedy generation.

Re: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Beta: All Start Times, How to Play, and What's Included
The demo is really selling the game. It feels really good to play, and it runs and loads surprisingly well on Switch, too!

Re: PS5's Profit Margin Problems Are a Thing of the Past as Division Tops $1 Billion Operating Income for Q1 2025

Re: PS3's Store Has Been Offline for a Day, Forcing Fans to Fear the Worst
@Runex2121 In the same way retro gamers like buying old cartridge games or PS1/2 games, why shouldn't we be able to buy old games that were digital-only on the PS3 to experience them?
Re: PS5 Is the Only Console with a Proper Physical Copy of Cronos: The New Dawn
@Olmectron "You just can't buy new games."
That's enough of a problem too. Old games I want to try on these consoles, I cannot buy. They are completely unavailable if they don't have proper, physical copies. And there's nothing to say Nintendo won't suddenly remove the ability to redownload purchases on a whim.

Re: Sonic Racing CrossWorlds Includes Guest Drivers from Minecraft, Like a Dragon, More
Minecraft is paid DLC, which is worth pointing out. I'll be really interested to see if there will be any other characters from other Sega franchises.
Re: Microtransactions Reach New Low in Call of Duty
"I'm not asking for a great game, just not a buggy game."
I think that last comment sums up the thoughts of people still buying COD. Their standards have unfortunately fallen through the floor.
Re: Japanese VTuber Usada Pekora Is in Death Stranding 2, and We Don't Know Why
Well now I have to buy it. 😆
Re: Second Persona 4 Voice Actor Says They're Not in Rumoured Remake
@Jey887 @Ralizah It was more the remaking games with content missing only to sell it as DLC later, day one DLC, day one DLC on re-releases, and no upgrade paths on PS5 versions of PS4 games. Those are what made me stop supporting Atlus. They can replace voice actors if they want to. I've no problem with that.
Re: Second Persona 4 Voice Actor Says They're Not in Rumoured Remake
Why are people still buying Atlus games when you treat their fans like dirt? I'm genuinely baffled here.

Re: Reaction: Sony's Licensing Strategy May Be the Best Route to Reviving Some of PlayStation's Lost Classics
