Everytime an Atelier game comes out, I add to my wishlist to buy it on a sale. But then they release a new game, and then I decide to wait for that instead. In the end, I don't buy them. I did buy the 1st ryza on ps4 tho. Never got to finish it coz that's when I stopped playing the PS4.
@Sunraku it's only Microsoft I'm boycotting in gaming. And EA too, since they're owned by Saudi now, I think. But I've never bought anything ea anyway. I don't need to boycott companies that used to be owned by Microsoft. Since I don't know anything about compulsion games, there's no reason to boycott them.
@Sunraku no. And I don't care. I hate Microsoft. Microsoft supports terrorists. So if I bought that game, my money would have been used for something I don't agree with. So don't tell me what I should or shouldn't do.
I avoided this game because it was part of Microsoft. But now the Devs are independent, will Microsoft still make any money from future purchases of this game or will it go to the devs?
These updates were expected. I always had my consoles updated to the latest versions. So never noticed that I needed to update to play disc games. If I had a 2nd PS5, I would have jailbroken 1 of them. but since I only have one, I'm not going to do that.
I don't really browse through the store to find new games as I usually know what games I want and add them to wishlist. So I only look at my wishlist when I'm in the store. But a filter for AI would still be nice.
@AdamNovice think they would only let you rent it with a monthly subscription and then when you stop, you return it. They did that with the PS5. Not sure if they are still doing it.
Off topic. But can someone confirm if buying digital games now requires you to be online once within 30 days or is it every 30 days? I know Sony has confirmed it is a one time check within 30 days. But people are saying it's every 30 days. And I just wanna make sure I have the correct information. I haven't bought any games on the PS store, so I can't confirm.
I've cancelled my subscription about a year ago I think. And I think I deleted my account. There's no easy way to delete it. I had to send a support ticket requesting to delete my account. I didn't get a reply and haven't logged in since then, so I'm assuming it has been deleted. I'll stick with pirates for now until a better streaming platform becomes available.
@GirlVersusGame ok but how are they getting proof of purchase tho. Every purchase has a unique id number, right? Like a transaction id or order number. Wouldn't they need that to verify the purchase?
I don't get how they can do that. How are they able to login without the 2 step verification? And if they didn't log in, how were they able to change the email?
@Ken_Kaniff I like how it looks. Looked good on PS3, looked good on PS4. And still looks good now on PS5. And I'm sure a lot of other people like how it looks too.
I wish steam has platinum trophies. It does give you a badge when you get all the achievements, but that also includes paid DLCs as well. So if you don't buy the DLC, and get all the non-DLC achievements, you still won't get the 100% badge.
If they make a port, you'll have to buy it again. And if you have to buy it again, people will complain. I don't think they have the time or resources to do it for free.
I don't get why people here complain about people complaining about no physical discs. If it's got nothing to do with you, then mind your business. And enjoy renting games.
@Suda51ueda top selling is different from concurrent players. And a single customer will pay once for a single player game. For live service games and multiplayer games, a single customer will pay more than once. A single customer can spend thousands on one game. So if successful, a live service game will make them more money than a single player game.
I'm not a fan of the PS4 and PS5 designs, but the controllers are nice and feel comfortable. The PS vita was also good but the back touchpad may have been a bad choice. And also the vita exclusive memory card was a bad idea. Would love to see another Vita without the back touchpad.
I bought 3 games from that list of releases but only played and finished one of those games. It was ok, but I didn't really like it that much. Still need to play the other games I bought.
That combat style seems interesting. But that block, holding 3 buttons together seems very inconvenient and I may not use it. If there's a dodge button, I might use that or just take the hit.

That would be good if they could go independent and reclaim the IPs that they created or worked on.

Re: There's Demand to Remake Final Fantasy 6 from Within Square Enix, Says Series Boss
What about 9? I thought that has a lot of fans. I don't like 16 coz of the medieval and western style.
Well whatever they remake, I'll give it a go and see if I like it. I like 7 remake. So I'm sure I'd like the remakes of any older ff game.
Re: No Disc, No Buy and PS5 Blackout Protests Fail to Impact PlayStation

Re: New Call of Duty to Remove 'Appalling' Footage of Real-Life Tragedy
Why would they take real news footage? And I bet this game is full of propaganda.

Re: Study Finds Almost Half of PS5 Disc Backlash Came from Fake Accounts
