There's no point buying a game on Day One release anymore, you'd be better off waiting another year until the game is actually finished or 2 years as was the case with Cyberpunk
I bought the ones I wanted when they were relatively new like Spiderman, Virginia, This War of Mine, the Metros, Resident Evil and Red Faction before the subscription service began. I wouldn't buy or play them today, they're too old. As for the rest of the games they too are years old and/or garbage. Good riddance I say. They're just clogging up the library and making it longer to search for something decent to play
Anyone who gives this game 10/10 has never played it till the end and that includes you Graham Banas. It's a 8/10 game all day long, sorry the few hours you play it, and that's being generous. 10/10? You're being silly now
I haven't read all the comments, there's too many, but my personal take on things is this: 1. Only a lunatic or someone who has more money than sense would pay an extra 20%, on average, for the digital version of a new game rather than the physical one 2. See No. 1. I still haven't figured out why digital versions of games cost 20% more than physical versions. I'm talking about in the UK. A new digital AAA release is £60-70 which doesn't have any overheads really. It's just a server that you download it from. Whereas a physical version is just that, it's physical. A factory and all the staff have worked to produce it. It costs money for the machines to run and for the staff to be paid yet it costs 20% less than the digital version which only costs pennies on a server. 3. Once you've finished playing your physical version of the game you can bang it on eBay and recuperate 90%ish of your money. So in real terms it's only cost you £5-10 4. Once you've finished playing your £70 digital version. That's it. It's dead. RIP. Especially if the game turns out to be garbage 5. Don't get me wrong, I'm a coder myself. I'm all for paying our way to help developers but charging an extra £10 for a non existent digital version is ludicrous. It shouldn't even be the same price. It should be £10, if not £30 cheaper than the physical version. You do all know that the shops that sell the physical versions of games only pay about £20-30 for them, don't you? Yet the same people charge you £70 for a digital version. But who am I to talk? As the headline suggests. The World Has Gone Mental. Go and support the High Street shop. Buy physical games for less money than the digital versions and then sell them on.
If we have to have a tennis game at least release it just before, or during, the French Open and Wimbledon. Ppl might see the tennis on the TV and fancy a game - in their house! Don't give us a tennis game in the middle of the Olympics and just before the football season starts FFS! No one's interested. I love a good tennis game, I just can't remember the last time I played one. It definitely wasn't on the PS4! PvZ is garbage. The other game I've no interest in. So, yeah, a complete pile of poo this month.
@JustPlainLoco Sorry to break it to you but everyone knows windmills originated in Holland but since you didn't know I'm glad a game gave you that information when your school failed to.

Re: The Last of Us: Part I Compares Tess on PS5 vs. PS3 Model, and the Results Are Impressive
@SoulChimera FIFA 2013 more like since that was when TLoU was released. You'd pay £70 wouldn't you to see the handsome Wayne "Shrek" Rooney in 4k? 🤣
