Your Highness is too kind. /s

Interesting that the mainstream media are starting to admitting there is a problem (or at least ask the question if there is) but will still circle around the issue coming up with their own reasons for it, like the sequels are "too safe"...

The actual reason behind the sequels not being as good as the predecessors is pretty obvious but mentioning will either get you banned, or your comment removed and you'll be called "trolls", "vocall minority" etc. The truth is this "vocal minority" is actually the silent majority who will not participate in comment sections but will simply not buy this kind of games. If you compare the sales of all the titles from the poll (add TLOU for good measure), each of these sequels sold worse (or much worse) than the original and each suffers from the same issue - characters and writing being influenced by the same politics, whether you want to see it or not.

@GirlVersusGame awesome gameplay aside, the performance on PS5 (Pro) and UI adaptation for controller is fantastic!

As for multiplayer, I can imagine it must be epic fun! Unfortunately my friends play it on PC and there's no crossplay... 🥺

V Rising - it's an awesome crafting survival game and it's free in PS+ Extra catalog!

I'm more excited for this than The Witcher 4. My most anticipated game along with GTA 6.

The article and the poll are a bit tendentious, pretending to asking questions if Portal is a hit but really assuming and trying to convince you it is without any meaningful arguments.

I can agree that the update is a great surprise for the people who already own the device. Good (and uncharacteristic?) for Sony to improve something they already sold.

And I agree it sold better than I expected - because I didn't expect people to buy it, hehe.

It's definitely not for me. I didn't buy a high-end 65" OLED TV to play on a tiny handheld. And if I wanted to play on a portable device, it needs to be able to install and play games offline.

Still better than Switch though as it at least can play good games.

F76 is empty and boring. It's a downgrade from F4 and on top of that you get all the issues that come with playing online.

I'm more interested if Black Friday will have PS+ discounts.

We will see if new Xbox even releases at all. Microsoft can make a U-turn in a matter of months. They've already increased the price of Xbox twice this year, significantly increased the price of game pass and now they increased the price of XDKs by 33%. It kind of looks like Microsoft wants to get out of the gaming industry but needs to ensure the tax write-offs and insurance claims have proper backing.

They need to make sure that backwards compatibility is resolved better than this gen. So they need to find a way to make prior-gen games run better on the new-gen console without the need of dedicated game patches.

While current subscribers are excluded from those rare occasions when PS+ is discounted...

@Darude84 not to mention that big chunk of the "article" are amazon ref-links to physical discs even though the "article" is supposed to be about PS Store deals. If they actually tried to be helpful, they would link to these games on PS Store instead.

"Oh No!"? What's the problem? 🤔

I don't want to live on this planet anymore 😐

Medieval Dynasty ⚒️

Mark Strong would be a great pick. He's not a spring chicken but doesn't look his age. Also just 1 yeard older than Christopher Judge.

Christopher Judge as live action Kratos can't be real... unless it's being made by Netflix? 😅

Do you guys know if there will be discounted PS+ subscriptions anytime soon?

First time since almost a decade I didn't extend PS because it's so annoying they don't offer discounts to those already subscribed... 🫤

@NorrinRadd behaviour, attitude, looks, everything we've seen so far.

I wish we were allowed to create our own protagonist because the one we saw in the trailer was really off-putting.

I'm interested what role Troy Baker has here. I recently realized that he was the one voicing my favourite character in Diablo series - Lyndon the Scoundrel

Also I'm glad seeing other people being tired of soulslikes.

@underthegun it's not just you, this is very annoying. It makes sense in a book title but not in an article title, especially in a longer and dumber one like this one. I guess they think it makes it look more professional but it doesn't.

As somone who spent 850h & €1k in World of Tanks, I do NOT RECOMMEND this game. It's very addictive and great at the beginning but they keep ensh*ttify your experience. Pay to win tanks, paid "boosters" which on higher levels are simply required to make progress, immersion breaking - silly tanks (e.g. spider tanks), horny-bait sexy commanders, ads everywhere. Don't waste your time and money.

@djlard it sounds like a sponsored article. This site is turning into IGN... 🫤

Review please 🙂

Really unimpressed by the gameplay and the performance was awful - even though it was a demo. Low framerate, poor graphics (especially character faces), janky gameplay. Overscripted car pursuit scene feels a lot like Mafia: The Old Country.

NPC's AI looks dumb - setting a wheelbarrow on fire makes the person next to it blindly stare at it and nobody else from security is alerted? And he can just move along the building wall unnoticed by anyone?

During fight enemies just run at him or aim at him without shooting giving him time to throw his shotgun at them or take their gun... Cars explode just from a little gunfire.

Honestly the only thing I liked was multiple conversation options. Didn't really spot what the options were but it gives me hope there are multiple ways of approaching missions.

>this just goes to show how rabid the Cyberpunk 2077 fanbase can be

Well maybe if they got right to the point instead of being intentionally cryptic and teasing, there wouldn't be need for speculations.

The poll is missing an answer "I'll play it when it's finished". Is there a confirmed date yet?

Meh, another fighting game with these "stop-motion" animations. Give me Injustice 3 👊

>This New PS Plus Extra Game

Could you just write the title of the game? 🙄

Crusader Kings 3 until Mafia comes out.

What is happening with this website...?

God of War in ancient Egypt.

New titles can be made by other studios but only Santa Monica can make a new GoW.

God of War in Egypt - fingers crossed.

The fact that avatars generally are not available in PS Store for PS5 is mindblowing.

@DonkeyFantasy I thought I was the only one! Have Cyberpunk 2077 on wishlist even though I already bought. Can't remove it. It's only in mobile app though, nowhere else 🤔

Wait, since when it's possible to post pictures here? 🤔

I'm playing Crusader Kings 3, it lately got a new DLC, and big update with bugfixes and QoL improvements!

Honestly, all the offers mentioned in this article are laughable... At least let us buy PS+ Extra at discount even if we're subscribed already. It's 15th birthday after all, pretend you give a 💩 about loyal customers at least for a couple of days!

@SBBuds I hope it's as much like Stranded: Alien Dawn as possible. That game is awesome!

Poland can into space!

Worst scenario: interviews with employees (taken from diffrent camera angles, in some takes not looking directly at camera) where they say how excited they are about the game, how they've been overcoming challenges to give us most immersive experience, how each and every employee poured their heart in it and gave their blood, sweat and tears. The interviews will be intertwined with footage of graphic designers working on models of characters, locations, objects in their 3D object desing software.

Best scenario: previews of some actual gameplay, maybe a short side quest, character stats sheet, inventory etc.

I'm one of the culprits.

"For the players"? More like "For the quarterly results".

Guys, Microsoft didn't start to release games on PS5 because of this case. They did it because almost no one is buying Xboxes.

@SleepyNick you are totally right. I searched on the PS app, got inly 1 results with standard picture, no indication that it's 'elite' edition...

I was hoping it would be my Rocket League replacement. But Rocket League is free and this doesn't look like something worth 190PLN/€45.

You should have made another poll with the list of titles added to PS Premium 😆

For those that will be playing this game for the first time: if you park you motorbike next to a petrol dispenser just right, you can top up the tank without getting off the bike 😎
