More and more acquisitions in the industry would lead us down a very boring road. One where all games would be exclusive. Sony needs to announce their response to GamePass ASAP. Sony has way better games and needs to flex that with this service.
I've gotten out of the Service trap in the recent months with FF7 Remake, Ghost of Tsushima, and Cyberpunk. I've just sat down and played a game and it's been great.
I need to mention: the article PushSquare wrote saying that the PS4 Pro ran the game pretty well was something I used to inform my purchase prior to release. What happened between that article and now?
Once these bugs are fixed, I think they should take a look at the "loot" and crafting systems. They are so broken. If they don't make any changes, at least add a button that equips the highest stat gear.
I own Withcer 3 on PS4, but never played more than 10 hours because it always felt awkward to play. But I'd be more than happy to repurchase it on PS5.
CDPR has also earned plenty of good will over the years. And the tough pill about crunch, everyone in every industry crunches. Some too much, but most people understand this before going in. AND CDPR paid their employees VERY well for their 6 extra days of work
@eddie429 I never argued they'd sell more Xboxes. I just pointed out the value proposition. Also, Sony has nothing at launch that I am interested in at the moment. So it's just opinion based.
Also, Microsoft bought quite a few studios in the recent years and now has 14. These include Double fine, Ninja Theory, and Obsidian. And while Sony has great first party studios, they all seem to make the same Third Person Action games.
@Mostik Considering there have been many games that improved like this and that this game has potential, yeah I think in six months this will be a much different game.
@eddie429 I think you are underestimating the value of Gamepass with EA Play. Games at release and they can be downloaded. It's all the best parts about renting games like back in the day.
Slinging Cap's shield and running around as the God of Thunder is extremely fun, it just sucks that the end game content doesn't live up to the res of the game
@iceno1 They put time and effort to making these upgrades. And they are fully giving you the opportunity to only buy what you want. they aren't forcing you to buy one version then the other. You can wait to get the better version.
I am being a BOOMER here? But why on Earth do people expect to essentially get 2 games for the price of 1? If you want it on PS5, wait and buy it there.
Is it really a Scandal if they are making you pay for a new version of a game? In 2013 I never expected to buy Call of Duty Ghosts on PS3 and get it for free on PS4. Why should we expect that now?

Re: Mini Review: A Plague Tale: Innocence (PS5) - Rats a Good Next-Gen Upgrade
I skipped this the first time around, but it has DualSense capabilities so I'll have to give it a shot!
Re: Kena: Bridge of Spirits Looks Lovely, New Gameplay Shown in Dev Presentation
Once Deathloop got delayed, this became my next most anticipated game
Re: Hot Wheels Unleashed Takes the Action to the Skatepark in Latest Trailer
The game looks pretty bland from this trailer. Is there more to it than just racing on hot wheels tracks?

Re: Soapbox: I Can't Keep Up with Service Games
I've gotten out of the Service trap in the recent months with FF7 Remake, Ghost of Tsushima, and Cyberpunk. I've just sat down and played a game and it's been great.

Re: Despite Delisting, CDPR Promises Cyberpunk 2077 Players Will Still Receive Patches on PS5, PS4
Once these bugs are fixed, I think they should take a look at the "loot" and crafting systems. They are so broken. If they don't make any changes, at least add a button that equips the highest stat gear.
Re: Best PS4 Strategy Games
I rarely fully play through strategy games because I use them to scratch an itch. But I played through XCOM. That game is so damn good.
Re: Deal: Immortals Fenyx Rising Discounted in UK Two Weeks After Launch
I legit just bought this over the weekend
Re: Cyberpunk 2077's Free PS5 Upgrade to Leverage All New Functions and Technical Possibilities of Next-Gen Console
I doubt they'll have dual sense haptic feedback
Re: Cyberpunk 2077's Multiplayer and DLC Not the Focus, As CDPR Preps Rescue Mission
I own Withcer 3 on PS4, but never played more than 10 hours because it always felt awkward to play. But I'd be more than happy to repurchase it on PS5.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077's Multiplayer and DLC Not the Focus, As CDPR Preps Rescue Mission
@theheadofabroom I imagine there are separate teams. I doubt you need all 500 or so people working on fixes.
Re: Fall Guys Season 3 Starts Today, New Levels and Patch Notes Detailed
It's a shame I stopped playing after a few days. It still looks fun, but there's just not enough variety.
Re: CD Projekt Red Apologises for Hiding Cyberpunk 2077 on Base PS4, Makes Refunds Widely Available
Anyone know if Gamestop is giving refunds for physical preorders?
Re: Poll: What Is Your PS5 and PS4 Game of the Year 2020?
I'm not a big RPG guy, but my 2 favorite games this year were RPG-ish: FF7 and Ghost of Tsushima
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Hovers Around 720p on PS4, Drops As Low As 15FPS
Been playing for about 5 hours on PS4 Pro. Had my first crash, but performance has been fine for me. Only a few moments of slow frames.
Re: Poll: Is Cyberpunk 2077's Poor PS4 Performance Acceptable?

CDPR has also earned plenty of good will over the years. And the tough pill about crunch, everyone in every industry crunches. Some too much, but most people understand this before going in. AND CDPR paid their employees VERY well for their 6 extra days of work
Re: Disco Elysium Website Is Teasing Something 'Soon'
I love the game, but damn I don't like that they have an unironic photo of Stalin in their office.
Re: Destruction AllStars PS5 Gameplay Finally Shown in Brand New Trailer
What even is this $70 monstrosity?
Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Requires 133GB of Free Space on PS5
this is the exact reason I uninstalled Modern Warfare. I'm not wasting ~15% of my hard drive on a game I play occasionally.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Dev 'Not Comfortable, but Confident' in December Release Date
I'm cancelling my preorder and will buy when it releases
Re: Mini Review: Stories Untold - Uneven Horror Anthology Frustrates More Than It Frights
I played this a few years back on PC. It is definitely something to play through with friends.
Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War PS4 Beta: Launch Times, Pre-Load, What's Included, and Rewards
It's probably not a good sign that I haven't thought about this game since I played the beta.
Re: Random: PS5 Looks Way Better As a Skyscraper Than a Games Console
I imagine the fins work to vent to console better. I'm into the functional look of it.
Re: Poll: Which Peter Parker Face Do You Prefer in Marvel's Spider-Man?
This is clearly a plan to get New Pete to look like Tom Holland
Re: PS Plus October 2020 PS4 Games Announced
I'm happy with this. I haven't played a NFS game in years and I have friends that really enjoy Vampyr.
Re: This Is What a Bloodborne PS5 Remaster Could Look Like
I could never get into the soulsborne genre. What am I doing wrong? This game looks amazing
Re: Reaction: Spider-Man PS5 Debacle Shows Sony Is Out of Touch
@JapaneseSonic Very well said. Glad to see we aren't alone.

Re: UK Sales Charts: Marvel's Avengers Triumphs Over Tony Hawk for a Second Week

Re: Talking Point: What Do You Want to See at PS5's Showcase Event?
@eddie429 I think you are underestimating the value of Gamepass with EA Play. Games at release and they can be downloaded. It's all the best parts about renting games like back in the day.
Re: Talking Point: What Do You Want to See at PS5's Showcase Event?
I'm getting one, but they need to convince me they have a better value than a $299 Series S with a Gamepass subscription
Re: UK Sales Charts: Marvel's Avengers Triumphs Over Tony Hawk for a Second Week
@Mostik I imagine in the next 6 months when they lose 90% of their current base there will be some good changes
Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Multiplayer Reveal Is Intense, Chaotic, and Running on PS5
I wanted more on Fireteam. Also, it's nice to see the Create a Class system allow for far more freedom than we've seen with the Pick 10 system.
Re: Marvel's Avengers - Crystal Dynamics' Heroic Risk Is a Game of Two Halves
Slinging Cap's shield and running around as the God of Thunder is extremely fun, it just sucks that the end game content doesn't live up to the res of the game
Re: Poll: Did You Buy Marvel's Avengers?
This game will have a monetization shift in the next 3-6 months I imagine. I'll pick it up then.
Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Free PS5 Upgrade Might Be Locked Behind More Expensive Versions
@iceno1 They put time and effort to making these upgrades. And they are fully giving you the opportunity to only buy what you want. they aren't forcing you to buy one version then the other. You can wait to get the better version.
Re: NBA 2K21 Demo Out on PS4 Now, Features MyPLAYER Builder
I played 2K20 with PS+. I'm not a fan of modern basketball games. they are far too complicated.

Re: PS5 Price and Release Date Rumour Is Making Headlines in Japan
$399 feels far too cheap. Even for a discless console.
Re: 505 Games Attempts to Explain Control's PS5 Upgrade Scandal
Is it really a Scandal if they are making you pay for a new version of a game? In 2013 I never expected to buy Call of Duty Ghosts on PS3 and get it for free on PS4. Why should we expect that now?
Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Teasing Continued This Weekend
The game must not be in good shape if they can't release so much as a clip of the game.
Re: Madden Embraces NFL Street with The Yard
I've waiting fora NFL Street game for a decade now. Maybe I'll pick this up to play.
