Nope. I actually won D4 in an O2 give away and i think I played it for about an hour. I loved D3 to bits and have played many hours, also played on switch. I might get the switch version again to play on the switch 2 just for giggles. No way I’m paying silly money for cosmetics which are absolutely worthless once purchased. May as well spend £150 on the lottery at least I know I’m throwing money away with the odd chance of a return.
I was thinking about this the other day - what a shame they don’t share content like this between games so you can keep your game version exclusive DLC and use it in all other blizzard games and future versions. That at least with give this DLC BS some value. But instead, when the game dies, so does any money spent on DLC. Spend your money elsewhere and hopefully games companies stop this madness! waits for GTA6 to be £200 on release
Not sure why but I’ve played the game on series x, series s and now ps5 and for some unknown reason it plays smoother in my head. But there is absolutely no basis for this, as both series x and ps5 are locked 60fps with no frame drops on both. Both maybe it’s the vrr - I’m not sure
Due to SNK having Saudi involvement, I’m out. I don’t agree with anything related to that country and their policies, especially how they treat women and anyone who objects to power. Shame, SNK used to be one of my favourite companies for fighters, but that was over 20 years ago and things do change I guess
@The_Pixel_King I’m the same boat as you, exactly my thinking with waiting for the switch 2 as well. This along with potentially ghost will block out my summer gaming until switch 2, then Mario kart and a month later donkey Kong will cover the rest
@Magatsuhi it’s not even T7 as that had rage, the patch removes that as well as heat.
As for me, my main is Leo, who has been nerfed beyond useless and I actually cannot play until they fix him. So I won’t be buying the season pass at all!
We saw it Friday and it’s one of the only films I saw which got a clap at the end. We certainly laughed at some bits but amazing considering there is almost zero story.

Got to warrant the £85 price tag somehow! I’ll wait for the videos and hopefully a slightly reduced price before I stump up for Forza for a third time. I’ve even sold my Xbox in preparation!
Wow ok I wasn’t expecting that kind of level of full price. £100 for the deluxe? Kinda makes me want to subscribe to gamepass to cover off the cost… oh wait… that’s the idea right? What’s annoying is my ultimate license I have on Xbox (which I have now sold) won’t count for this at all. Shame, I’ll wait for the price to reduce a bit for paying. I do wonder if the port works well and if it’s better than the Xbox series x version…
@get2sammyb nothing that can be done. In effect, it’s buying out the competition to eliminate the competition. Basically we are at that phase of gaming economics which will eventually lead to three big players surviving and the occasional new studio popping up. Right now it’s the buyout and destroy phase - which happened with IBM, Microsoft and others in the past. You have this massive bubble that then bursts, much like the internet boom of 2000s. AI is the next bubble to burst so wait to see for buyouts and layoffs there once people actually realise actual uses for AI. Sadly, it’s just how economics works and it ruins creativity. Imagine if art went through the same, with a mega conglomerate buying all new art and companies selling art, only for that type of art to not fall into demand resulting in layoffs and bankrupting a ton of local artists. It’s doesn’t quite work that way in art because there is only 1 copy of a painting and it’s heavily subjective but something with mass appeal and massive supply can only really generate cash, if managed right. It’s fear of competition and therefore greed that has brought us into this current mess, and the casualty will always be the artists that create these wonderful games.
So this report is basically reporting “go play most of this months games”, then attaches affiliate links to all the games. Shameless advertising spin on this one I have to say pushsquare! Got to make those pennies somehow I suppose
Why are we now the beta test generation? Every release seems plagued with issues and they patch and update later. What happened to the as released solid product? Nintendo seems to be the only one to be keeping this (first party titles). A game doesn’t need DLC to succeed
It’s in there court to screw things up with gta6. But these numbers are extreme. If anything, this is why the gaming industry is currently boom and bust, they are all driving for these numbers. Which are unobtainable for most publishers. The question is, no matter the hype, sales, or whatever - gta6 has the most pressure any game has ever had. If screw it up, then take two goes
So thinking economics here. Raise a price and you get three types of people - 1) who will never pay that much for any game. 2) people who will either get impatient and buy after a period of times or can wait for a reduced price. 3) people who will just accept the price.
Rockstar have great demand and supply doesn’t really come into it (as its digital), other than how much money people have (as a supply). So it’s all dependent on the demand - if rockstar know they are going to get 10m day 1 sales at x amount = n profit, and 20m sales at y amount = n+1 then they will choose the one that gives the best number depending on priorities, which I should imagine will be profit but they might want “the fastest selling game of all time” to encourage further longer term. I reckon a significant amount of money has been spent already by rockstar on this type of market research to find out how they can get the most sales.
In terms of the inflation argument etc that’s all BS as that doesn’t matter when you have a game that’s going to sell as many as this. Basically rockstar will put this game out for as much as they can to maximise profit, so if they will put to the maximum they foresee that will maximise numbers, sales numbers and profits. 100 is also a psychological price and a big milestone to break. Not sure other developers will be successful in pushing this price but whatever rockstar do is what others such as EA will try for sure.
One other point - GTA6 could be the last of the decade or longer development games - it’s too big and takes too long to develop rewards and gamers are not into this so much anymore. But who knows their might be more, but really a game that takes as long as someone to go through puberty is too long!
Oh god I hope it plays like it looks here. I’ve always wanted a proper martial arts game where you can counter a counter of a counter etc and then it’s a battle of wits to who gets the actual punch. Main issue with that is speed + button mashing and how to make things play well. Dead or alive 5 countering well, but most games just are as you counter you then can hit on the next move, rarely if at all games have layered countering.
Both otherwise, the graphics here look great. Also lets hope it doesn’t do a tekken 8 adding loads of paid for stuff after release!
I would love more levels. I would gladly pay for more levels. GIMMI MORE LEVELS! It was such a fun game, would love something to help me return to it. Sadly platting it has meant there has been very little for me to return too. They should add like hidden bits like mario games
Lost all cash options. Thankfully, I just redeemed £20 two weeks ago (as it was about to expire), however was saving for the £5 option. Is it almost a year just after they started this, so have they removed the option just before points expiry in some scummy tactic?
Destruction all stars without the cars anyone? We all know how well that went... Seriously it's actually quite difficult to judge what to buy these days as things are becoming so over saturated with free then paid for, paid for then pay some more, increased charges for base game - anyone would think it's a multi billion pound industry trying to work out the way to make the next billion... Oh wait....
Simple thing - let's not buy into this stuff. Let it all fail and then hopefully we will be left with the companies that choose to provide whole games on release and not these cheap sloppy add-ons that only cheapen the original mega purchase of £80
@DennisReynolds I guess but there is a lot more content that is paid for Vs not paid for, and wasn't communicated before buying a season pass or the ultimate edition. I expected paying so much money for at least the first years worth of content, but now I have to pay for another few bits. Forget about it
Let's hope they don't pull a Tekken 8 and add battle passes, paid for extra stages NOT IN season passes, and other scummy not communicated money making techniques.
Weirdly this game seems to be one of the most complete fighters for a decade. Surely this isn't the direction Bamco are actually going? Thought they were going the scummy route!
It also allows them to set the price for the ps6 to be higher or the same. If the pro sells well then the price point has been proven. With a distinct possibility the next gen Xbox will be less power than the ps6, they can charge the ps5 pro sort of prices
Tbh there was quite a bit square in astros playroom, so I didn't feel it needed any more. I did feel however they needed more ghost, one single bot? Grrr
But in the case of the original question, I think people are reading too much into this!
I guess this means there is still a chance for DOA7, and it would fit lovingly between Tekken 8 and sf6. But you know, better to release a really specific audience game first - why not
Jeeze kick a person while their down PushSqaure why not... I mean every day for 2 weeks you made your view known about the game, it's been 1 week since closure and your going to keep it going?
@rusty82 tbh this is a multi console release and the developer is US based. Best to release when people are in the office rather than end of the day incase things go wrong! I'm happy to wait, it might be a nice addition to astro bot once I've completed that
@Cloud39472 think people have speculated the ps6 will be the last to support disks, and they are starting to make it more difficult for disks with selling them as a separate accessory and being out of stock drives people to software only. I suspect this is one tactic they will start using - very limited disk production numbers.
Anyway, why are we talking the ps6 now? I just want the switch 2DS!
In all seriousness, hardware developers go into conversations about this almost immediately after the manufacturing of the next model has got over so many and confirmed the design works. Be it a hardware uplift (like the fans or cooling for the ps5) or the ps5 pro. I would not think they stop for any period chasing updating components, cheaper prices or some other new competitive advantage in the hardware market.
For example, I should imagine the switch 2 hardware is done, the manufacturer has started so the next port will be to start looking at the switch 3 or other intermediate hardware/accessories. Everything has to be years in advance so the orders can be made to the manufacturers, which when large scale like this you book months of production time at once and so that has to be coordinated years in advance. Sega used to have the next one starting the day after the current one starts production, sometimes even two consoles in R&D at the same time such as the Saturn. Things are thankfully a bit more linear now, but still the same concept - everything is done years in advance and most likely the day after the current next console design is complete.
Every level has something brilliant and fun about it. Tbh I think it's even better than mario wonder, there is more to it. Some levels even remind me of when I played mario 64 the first time as they have so much originality it makes me laugh out loud.
Granted platformers are tried and tested, and this game borrows a lot from other games, but there is enough originality that makes it one of the best platformers for the last 20 years. It plays amazingly well too and is very well programmed to help you out. Not too frustrating, except the harder levels but as they should be!
Man I wish 60fps was standard like on the Dreamcast era, I really cannot stand 30fps and always turn it off. GTA6 is going to be a beast though when it lands
The problem is the lack of games that are currently taking advantage. If all games showed upgrades, for free, then it helps justify the £700 cost. But as it's under 10 games "and many more" - I'll believe it when I see it/when enough games utilise it and even then I won't be buying until that price comes down and after I've bought the switch 2. So late next year at the earliest. By which time they might have cancelled it anyway!
Finally, ray tracing as promised the first time round with the ps5!
Tbh I won't be buying this unless there is something really special for it or my ps5 blows up. Feel like I only got my ps5 yesterday and I'm actually reserving money for the switch 2, which I hope they release a lot of decent games for. Let's see how we go!
@roe I think you along with everyone else has missed that the second question is a double negative - it's basically saying "are you surprised it's brilliant?" And everyone is answering "yes" which means you are surprised it's brilliant, which makes it's bad. "no" I'm not surprised it's brilliant is the right answer
