I was considering this, and of course, FF7 Rebirth, but I'll just get this aways down the line.
Even though I won't be playing NG+, I bet they reverse the decision "we listened to the fans...".

Another sale on at DFS🤦🏼.
That resi 3 has been off and on that price for many many months.

GAME is all sorts of tat now, just had a look online and they sell Fisher Price toys for the little ones.
And yes, they do in store too as I went past a store a few weeks back and saw a little window display of such, made me double take.

Get real physical money with Facebook Marketplace.
No getting fleeced by a bricks and mortar store mark down.
And no eBay and PayPal taking their chunk if using that either.
The price is the price, you get what you list it for, or the 'buyer' doesn't get the item, in this case, game.

I bought FF16 for £30 and sold it 105 hours later to someone else for the same.

Couple of hours/chapters into Jedi: Survivor.
Enjoying it.

After having a chat with some bod last Wednesday I got a number of pings through the app just now, updating the totals I should have earned, and an apology email too.
That's now converted to a fiver added to me wallet.
Hope anyone else who had blips gets sorted 👍🏻

Did the chat, with a human, they asked for the transaction numbers for the stuff I bought, got them from the emails that Sony send as a receipt.
Said they would pass it to the next bod.

@Maaster89
Probably a skeleton crew of humans and the unhelpful bots getting swamped.

Anyone got the link for support team?

Yesterday I bought Jedi Survivor, Alan Wake 2 and Phantom Liberty, over £90, no points as yet.
Usually it's instant.

@get2sammyb
Hugely off topic and probably not the best way to contact you or a member of the editorial team, couldn't find a private message option, but thought I'd run this by you.. since Christmas Day, purchases made on the playstation network have not been rewarding stars to a number of users.
A few forums have a bit of chatter about it, I just wondered if anyone else has had a similar problem and if so, is there enough traction for an article on Push square to investigate and reach out to Sony.
Cheers.

Looks cool, as others have mentioned, within seconds you could tell this would struggle on PS4 without many compromises.
Hope it launches with a 60 option.
Which yes, would mean compromise. 🤭🤭

I paid £20 for the game, steelbook in mint condition.
But even if I had paid zero, I still wouldn't pay for costumes/outfits.
Their pricing structure for Fighter Coins is a con.

But still, this will sell loads. 🙄

@Nexozi
E.T. on Atari.
Come at me. 😘

It'll sell by the bucket load.
Regardless of content or quality.

Because sheep be sheep.

About 70 hours into FF16.
Really enjoying it.
Doing all side missions and hunts too.

Picked up FF16 for £30, that's been, and will be, my evenings until whenever 👍

Had my launch disc drive PS5 vertical since day one, never used the stand, it cannot topple over, it's too heavy and the left side broad enough to distribute it's weight to negate such a thing.
The original stand could do both vertical and horizontal, the redesign has been done just as a take from Sony to bleed a bit more from the consumer.
Saying that, I'll probably sell my original stand, just sitting in drawer somewhere.

The 2.0 feature reads well regardless, will probably get this again on the cheap, as I was sent a refund directly from CDPR during 'that period' and they didn't want the game back.
So I completed it, enjoyed it, then sold it.

@ShogunRok
As you have done 50 hours with 2.0, will you put a score for that alongside the phantom liberty one?

As another has said, I too have backed the PS3 book, looking forward to receiving it.

Steep price rises indeed.
Haven't paid full price due to discounted PSN cards/codes for many a year, but regardless of that will have a long think about which tier to renew to next July.
Hmm, let it lapse and have a ponder.

I feared it would be much dearer.
Will wait a good while for it to be out in the world before I consider it.

Well I for one would like to thank each and every day one beta tester who are paying full price.
And there will be many of them.
So that months down the line, all the bugs mentioned above, 'may' be fixed, hell, even, it might get a 60fps boost.
Then 'maybe' I might pick it up for £15ish.

Have I done a mess up?
On PS5, clicked on witch queen as read as included, nothing seemed to happen, looked again, it changed to £24.99, didn't retry, am downloading the destiny 2 main game, then will check.
Wonder if cos I didn't have destiny 2 already installed, it's gone a bit wrong.

Tales of Arise.
Never played one before, but reviewed well, got it for about £12 or £13 in the sale.
Only played about an hour briefly.
That'll while away the hours.

It's clearly a free to play game by it's very design.
With an at least £45 price tag.🤔

In an oversaturated F2P market.
That actually ARE free.

Really hope for anyone buying it enjoys it and gets value for money.

I'll pass.

Settle in for another boring story from a gaming old timer, (46).
I remember when metal gear solid first came out, me and my partner at that time, had a flat, you know, young couple, not too shabby, 28 inch TV that was the envy of friends lol
30 kilos plus!
Anyway, she toddled out with a group of our friends, and sent one of the lads back to get me cos I had committed day one to play it.
Anyway, long story short, too late, he knocked just as I was starting it.
Said was I coming out I said nope, playing new game, he sat down on the floor in front of me to have a look and I kid you not, he was transfixed.
Every now and again I'd say, do you want a go mate, and he'd say no, I'm loving just watching it.
It was probably 5 hours, the two of us, me with the wired controller on the sofa and him sat on the floor.
2 am rolls on, the door goes and my partner walks in with friends and kebabs in tow, (remember, this was before mobiles were absolutely everywhere), and said where you 2 been all night!!!

Gaming. Sometimes, just sometimes, it's special.

For me, I would love, absolutely 'love' for it to be a RDR remake. The storytelling was so good.. SO GOOD, it stayed with me for ages after.
And after playing RDR2, I still preferred the first one, the second was from a technical standpoint better, but a lot of bloat.
And I didn't really care for Arthur, I just wanted more John Marston.
The caveat is, that as mentioned above, the point to point gameplay could sometimes be a chore, not able to flank a target if they go down a little canyon/crevasse and I go highground, thinking outside the box, while chasing on horseback cos "they got away" and so on.
But the story beats, hunting the old gang, first going to Mexico... and the ending... Superb.
Better than many of the films and books that it took inspiration from.
And yes, I'd welcome a GTA4 remake too, I hardly remember it, but I remember that I enjoyed it.
Russian fella. Nico? I could look it up🤔

Well, I have recently hacked my Vita, yeah, remember them, so been playing loads of old school stuff. Whole new lease of life it has.
Was just sitting in a drawer for ages.
No time for anything else.

I was very interested in the 40th capcom museum thing, then when it was browser based I thought, nope, so that was that.

Exoprimal, to me, dirge.
Ok, there loads of people out there that will love it.
But not for me. And they are putting a ***** ton of marketing and time on it.

Pragmata. Good to see it isn't vapour and it's delayed. Better than silence.

And, erm, that's it. Dragons dogma, not even a year given, so I'm guessing mid 2024 at earliest.

Edit: ok, just had a look at the capcom town thing. Meh, each little hub just takes you to another capcom site.

I would have much preferred an actual app/game on the ps5, my interest was purely all the old archival stuff.

Nev mind.

Yeah, looks good.

I played the Lies of P demo...
Good grief, all of the systems used are lifted straight from the souls games, which I love.
I did enjoy it though👍

But this is cut n paste.
Even down to the woman with quest in window, which I just KNEW was coming way before it actually happened.

Wasn't keen on some of the clockwork enemies though.
Prefer a more visceral target.

Can From sue for blatant copyright?

@get2sammyb
Just looked around, can be had for just over £40!!!
Tempting. FF16 though....😁

Was going to delay getting this, I'm not the best fan of character seasons, and after getting stung, in my opinion, on day 1 SF5s lack of single player content, but if this has a lot to do, I may get it sooner. FF16 though.....

The Dishonered trilogy.

Further to what others have said about getting discounted codes, I just got an £84 code from ShopTo for £69.
I had Premium since it launched, paid about £83 for the discounted code at that time, and for me, Premium simply isn't worth £100 a year, it wasn't worth the £83 I actually paid.
So I will go with Extra.

The price is not that much higher than extra, but I will not support that tier for the dross it has had, and game trials and streaming games do not interest me.

I played just one Premium game in the past year Ghostbusters Remastered.

I paid less than the asking for Extra and got the Premium, using discounted network codes from either cdkeys or Shop.To, don't remember which.
Had I not done that, and with hindsight, Extra would have been my go to.
To me, Premium simply isn't worth £99.

I've never paid full price for any subscription, or game, for that matter if getting from the PSN, I always get a code from somewhere and apply that first.
Usually works out at 15% less than normal price.

E Honda.🥱
Never mained and does not even fit with the questions and answers given.
Thought I'd try it again, giving exact same answers, and it came out Juri.🤔

Slightly different traits I would say.

Activate random name generator!

But hey, it gets clicks I spose.

Very pleased with the selection here.
At least six games will be getting a full play through.
Solid month!👍👍

Just to add my 2 penneth.
I have in the past been a day one gamer.
Something I really wanted, that was it, day one purchase. End of.
But steadily into the mid to late PS4 era, I tuned out of day one purchases.
I WANTED to play the games so bad, and therefore to support the developers, but it became more and more of a guessing game who would release a game that was buggy, and who would release near, if not in a perfect state.
As others have stated, it has become the industry norm;
They set a date to please shareholders, release in whatever state it's in, then patch or patches to follow. I'm all for quality of life patches, but not when they are to fix that which is broken.
It's not what I paid all that money for, (for a PS4 then ps5), to be an unpaid QA tester.

@aj21009
34.99👍

2023 looking to be the twilight year for PS4.
Burning Shores is the start, and with PS5 stock levels way up, FFXVI and Spiderman 2, developers not held back by old tech.

To quote FFXVI producer Naoki Yoshida:
"At that time, we were developing the game with the possibility of releasing it on PlayStation 4 in mind, so we were worried about not being able to raise the quality."

Although there are ALWAYS compromises between vision and commercial reality, it's getting to a place this gen where developers can get that bit closer with less holding them back.

Just 2 short years later, less than £11.👍

Battlefield 1943, I loved that back in the day.
The many many hours I spent on that.

12 million sold on current platforms.
Conservative revenue of over £600,000.
Wouldn't be surprised if they cancel it.
Yes, they probably CAN get it to run on older systems, with a lot of compromises.
Not exactly their 'vision' I'm sure.

And the Switch version....🤦🏼‍♂️

Have a similar opinion to the minority here, played the demo didn't grab me whatsoever, despite that I love these sorts of games.
Completed the soulsbornes and niohs multiple times.
Ah well, maybe a-ways down the line.

Does anyone know if Tekkken 7 is the bare bones version?
Having to buy all the add-ons if wanting a more complete edition?

Bought it for the wife, she's a massive HP fan.
Got it Tuesday, deluxe from Game Collection, £62.
She's so happy with it 👍

Ordered the deluxe edition from the game collection for the Mrs, less than £62.
She'll be over the moon with this.

A ton of content, bought the deluxe add-on also, this will take a good while to get through 👍
