I bought mine about a month later. The PlayStation was the first console I bought on my own before that all the consoles I got were Christmas or Birthday gifts.
My best friend bought one at launch and I remember going to his house to play Tekken 2, Battle Arena Toshinden and a few other games, till I got my own.
@ShogunRok I assume you contacted THQ about it. If you did did they have anything to say about it like is it only happening on the PSpro? Is it a certain event? Hopefully they get it patched before release.
@PeakyBlinder It's not up to Phil Spencer or.any of the uppers, it's up to the consumers. And I never said that I believe that it will sell better then the PS5 or vice versa.
I can honestly give a crap about which sells more or what I am not one of those elitetist fanboys. What it comes down to for me is price and which console out of the two has the better library to suite my tastes.
I was just saying that Activision will probably look at the sales numbers and if possible either keep the exclusivity rights with Sony for CoD or move it too Xbox One which ever one sells better. They did it in the past, during 360 they were exclusive with MS cause that sold better then PS3. This gen they went with PS4 cause that sold better then Xbox One. I wouldn't be at all surprised if Activision does the same thing go with whatever sells better.
@MarcG420 You never know. The 360 did beat the PS3 up untill the end of that generation. The only reason PS4 beat Xbox One was because of the disastrous launch of the Xbox One. If it weren't for that they would have been pretty close.
I am sure the exclusivity with Sony will last untill sale figures from the PS5 and Xbox Series X start rolling in then Activision will redo the game exclusivity with which console is selling better.
@redd214 Mutant Football League is pretty "worthy" as you put it. There's even an option where you can turn off the field hazards and dirty plays and then it plays like a regular football game.
@get2sammyb Try playing Borderlands 3 in splitscreen and looking at your skills and talents or even try reading subtitles. Add to the fact that you can't switch to a vertical splitscreen to fix it and the game is just unplayable for me which is a shame.
@stuzster Well at least the message will be a step towards the end of console wars if a console manufacturers next console looks like a peace sign standing up.
Who is buying that broken game?? No wonder devs and publisher can get away with broken. So now if a game is released in a broken state people can not cry about it.
We gotta show the devs and publishers that we won't buy their broken games.
Nothing for me this weekend since I have 2 days of NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 14 to watch. One of my favorite wrestlers is having his retirement match tonight. Jushin Thunder Liger!!!
Never been a fan of the Uncharted games and Goat Simulator isn't my cup of tea. I will add them though so my son can play them if he wants but I won't touch them.
Anyone who really wants GTA V owns it by now I am pretty sure, so this doesn't really matter. Now if it was a much newer game then I can see how this could matter but I doubt anyone who has PSNow or Xbox Game Pass is getting the service for GTA V.
Still haven't played this game and I won't until either Gearbox adds vertical splitscreen option or cross play between XBO and PS4. Till then I will just stick with 2.
@get2sammyb Very interesting article Sammy. But I have to ask why didn't you just use the remote play app on your laptop and play your purchased games that way?? Or was your PS4 packed away?
@get2sammyb I am just curious why do you disagree? It was never released. Heck it wasn't even a full game that was on the cusp of being released. How is P.T. different then say a demo of some other game?
That makes sense as I tend to see that trend with people his age from Europe. It seems that PCs were more popular the NES and such when he was a kid in Europe at that time.
Didn't play this game on PS3 (didn't own a PS3) so I waited till the PS4 remaster came out. It was everything I hope it would be and now can't wait for the second one to come out.
@Rudy_Manchego How does it run on Switch? Was thinking of picking it up on Switch but that price 😬. Kinda hard to justify paying $60 when I can get it for $20 or less on Xbox One or PS4.
I actually just started the game yesterday since it became available on Xbox Game Pass recently. Didn't know the show came out till a co-worker told me about it the other day.
@NoxAeturnus I agree it wasn't even a game in the sense for a game of the decade list. It was never realeased and it went even a full fledge game. That would be like putting a concept car on the Great Cars of the Decade list.
@get2sammyb Perhaps call the list best Gaming Ideas of the Decade
I tried this game a few years ago the only problem I had is it released really close to Battlefield 1 and at the time BF1 seemed to be the better game. Might go back and check it out since they updated it.

Re: Guess the Launch Prices of These PlayStation Products

Re: Hands On: Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning Has a Game-Breaking Bug and Crashing Issues on PS4
@Bazooka This game never came out on the OG Xbox, only 360 and now One.
Re: Hands On: Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning Has a Game-Breaking Bug and Crashing Issues on PS4
@ShogunRok Definitely a concern. Hopefully they will be able to fix it before launch.
