I’d rather they sold it for 400 on marketplace or something. At least then the buyer gets a fair price too. They may get more for the right firmware version
@Balaam_ and yet if you give creatives unlimited freedom they can often never end. This may be an example where it all works, one wants x, one wants z, we get y.
I always find units such as misleading thing. Resident evil 4 is currently £8 on the store. Of course that will sell. But what’s the split on the new release. If I want a game I will buy it physical. If I’m bored and just after something, I will grab it on a dirt cheap psn sale.
They made a good CG trailer but I no longer had any faith that BioWare would have actually made a good game. It’s sad but I think a lot of people realise that.
Current Sony has no place for players or innovation. They are aiming to make everything as streamlined, as cheap and as boring as possible. I always loved the quirkier side of PlayStation. The one that brought out things like eye of judgement and wonderbook. That Sony is gone, and although it saddens me, I think for now the majority of my gaming will move to switch 2
As everyone has said, this is the all digital future. And our kids are being trained to accept it. My son won’t play wwe because he can’t earn xp on it because he is offline.
Interesting that reports are Sony are going to rely on their most die hard fans because of the price of the ps6 but it’s those die hards they’ve most upset. I don’t thing a ps6 is a day 1 guarantee for me anymore
Been playing this with my son and been having a lot of fun, he is loving it, but the battle pass is horrendous. How can you have a game tell you how you are supposed to play especially when you have paid extra for it?
Resident Evil - highly successful horror, falls to an all time low for going action instead of horror, revived with a fantastic horror entry, Capcom:"shall we make it more action?"
@AllRedsAreFox exactly this, if we were seeing games coming out on PC that consoles couldnt handle I would understand but I dont think devs know what to do with the power they have now and for the most part i think the power is used to reduce the need for optimisation
I worry this will fail and Sony will see that as a lack of interest in mobile. The screen on the current one is more than good enough and although I may have gone for OLED to begin with I dont think it will be worth the upgrade and the Portal may have already found its ceiling in number of users.
@Jacko11 I wouldnt say it makes them entitled, everyone has different amount of disposable income on based on that hes free to feel its to much for him right now. We all know discounts come pretty quick for a lot of games.
@Oram77 as an adult with minimal that has to try and figure out which direction to go in every time I start the game a map would be beneficial. Its basically an accessibility option.
This is gonna be unpopular but seems a lesser way to cheat. If I understand it he actually won the tournament fairly he just used someone else to qualify? At least he had the ability. Anyway, still right to be disqualified though.
What a ridiculous approach. I might pay a tenner to upgrade, I wont pay 50 for something I already have. They could have had some money, instead they get none. So many idiotic moves this gen.
If we are honest Arkham Knight was a big disappointment, not just the Batmobile stuff but it was bloated and the story was poor after honouring batmans legacy so well in the past. But anything they put out now will make that look like a 10.
I dont really know much about this game, I enjoyed LiS but feel things have moved on since then. But I dont get why the default is: *Create fanbase *Do things with the property the fans dont like or want *Call them toxic if they dont buy it anyway?
I don’t think people realise what makes die hard a Christmas movie. I was thinking this watching carry on on Netflix, they trying to push it as a Christmas movie but it’s just taking place at Christmas. Die hard has Christmas theming and heavily utilises it, coming home for Christmas, family, Christmas party. You can’t just say something is Christmas because of the month
I’ve started with PSVR again after a long time, having a blast with drums rock, Jurassic World, played a bit of Kayak, might try before my eyes later today. But metro and aliens are what I’m looking forward to. I haven’t played the 3rd metro game though. Anyone know if it’s needed?
@RBMango I think we are largely on the same if not similar pages.
The sad fact is there was a time when no one would have batted an eye at this, but there has been so much cynical dei that people see this and expect it to be that, whereas Vasquez was an organic story driven choice.
@RBMango I think the problem is decisions like that used to be made in the name of a good story, then over the last few years the decisions have been made for corporate DEI reasons and now its gotten to the point where its hard to tell so people are expecting the worse. We can argue this is tiresome but that expectation has been set by gaming/media which is also tiresome.
People were expecting a bumper month because of the anniversary, 12 arriving, 17 leaving. These are decent quality for me but the maths isnt great as the ones leaving are decent too.

Re: First Final Fantasy Resonance PS5 Review Released, Rough Campaign Length Revealed
Man I saw the words rough campaign and panicked. I played the mobile game and the demo really hit the spot. Glad I misread that.

Re: Poll: Are You Considering Leaving PlayStation for PC?

Re: Mini Review: WWE 2K26 (PS5) - Grappling Sim's Championship Reign Holds Strong
@Dan12836666 I fully get that logic and support it, but it’s a shame as the dev team have done a really good job this year I think.

Re: Rumour: PS Portal OLED Version Coming This Year

Re: Final Fantasy 16 May Have Underperformed on PS5, But It's Doing Terribly on Xbox
It would have been fine for a spin off game but for me it didnt feel like a mainline FF.
They turned their backs on what FF fans like in search of new fans and ended up missing both.
