Same score as Gamespot and Game Informer, so why is it a problem here?

Currently at 70 on metacritic as well, not a good outlook for the game.

@cainhurst94 It does effect Playstation and so pushsquare are letting their users know that there are potential spoilers out there due to it releasing early.

That's PC players for you, I've never seen such a gaming community whinge and cry so much

Yes but that also includes older games in sales and games that are digital only, not to mention Sony has two digital only PS5 consoles.

We need to see data for brand new games during their launch period (1-2 weeks) to see if physical still has a big demand.

I would love a Dragon Quest 9 remake in the style of either 11 or 7 Reimagined.

On PS5 i will be playing Atelier Resleriana, Lego DC Super Villains and NTE.

On Switch 2 I will be continuing with Pokopia, Pragmata and Shuten Order.

On 3DS il be starting a new game on Luigis Mansion and Hey Pikmin

I was against AI (still am for certain uses) but I've gotten over it now especially after playing NTE for over 40 hours just to find out they've used AI images, at first I was annoyed but I've had so much fun with the game that I'm not going to let it stop me from continue playing.

But if a game uses AI for its character models and story then that's a definite no for me, why would I pay full price for a game that was made using AI? I pay full price for people's hard work and passion not laziness.

Won't make much of a difference as the majority buy a Nintendo console for its exclusives, not because it's cheaper than Playstation. For those that primarily play third party games then sure Playstation is the best console for it but Japan's multiplatform third party software fails in comparison (sales wise) to Nintendo's big games.

Nope as I quite enjoy Marathon and it has potential to grow, plus I'm sure Destiny 3 will be quite popular. Was it worth the price? Definitely not but it hasn't been a catastrophe like Concord, Firewalk for me is the worst acquisition in gaming history.

I think this time round they need a strong launch line up to really make it worth it. Most gamers base their purchases more on games than they do the specs so launch with TLOU 3, Horizon 3 or some amazing new IP as a PS6 exclusive and it will sell like hot cakes and those saying they should wait will soon be joining the queue.

This cost £70 mil? Yet games like NTE and Stellar Blade cost around 40 million and offer more, maybe Sony should start investing in some Chinese and Korean devs.

I think a major concern for Saros is it's price, a lot of people are not going to pay £70 for a roguelike and that's what hurt Returnal as well with most people I know who played the game being when it went into the PlayStation Plus subscription. So I think Saros will fare the same, maybe sell 1-2 million but then also gain a large following once it hits the subscription. But with this costing double what Returnal did to make, I don't think that will be enough for Sony.

@LogicStrikesAgain I believe so, they both put tweets out saying the same thing.

Intergalactic is confirmed for this so I'm defo going to be watching this one.

I thought they planned on giving these the Remake treatment next.

Come on now, Asian developers can't be the only ones allowed to (and get praised for) make over sexualized outfits.

Hopefully this isn't another Concord situation, but I think the IP will carry it some. Talking about Concords there's been another victim lately with Kiln, with a 193 peak and 17 players playing right now 😬.

Live service games either need a beloved IP behind it or offer something interesting yet simple for the casuals.

They had the exact same result with Tower of Fantasy which also cost the same to develop, but that game dropped off massively but somehow is still getting supported.

I've put around 26 hours into it so far and I've been thoroughly enjoying my time. It's basically Wuthering Waves, ZZZ and Control mixed into one, but with a lighter more comedic story.

For the combat it's no more basic than what you would find in Genshin or ZZZ.

It's a close one between Pragmata and NTE for me, but purely because I want to see proper single player games do well my vote goes to Pragmata. I also played Mouse PI for Hire but honestly looking back it wasn't very good, way too repetitive hardly any detective work and way too many cheese puns.

Let me guess, it's missing the golden content?

Nothing for me this month.

On PS5 i will be playing some more of the excellent NTE and Atelier Resleriana, and start The Casting of Frank Stone.

On Switch 2 I hope to complete Pragmata this weekend and continue with Pokopia and Shuten Order.

Finally on Steam Deck I will be wrapping up Bullet Girls Phantasia and moving onto Dragon Quest Monsters

Of course exclusives matter, that's why Playstation and Nintendo have always been my go to consoles as they have the best exclusives, either first or third party. That and both of them have way more games that appeal to me.

Most overrated game in history, there I said it.

So happy I bought my PS5 during its launch, best decision I've ever made lol. Also quite happy with the build quality this time round as after 5-6 years of owning a PS3 and PS4 I had to replace them.

There's also Raylo where you can pay monthly to rent a console which maybe an option for some just wanting to play a few games.

Been having a blast with this on the Switch 2, although doing some boses in handheld mode was a bit tricky.

Same reason why most Xbox games haven't done well on Playstation, if PC players really wanted to play these games then they would have already.

@AdamNovice I will agree ZZZ has a better more serious vibe to its story compared to NTE, I think I prefer NTE as I enjoy open world games more than linear ones.

@QBGaming12 Yeah it's been fun so far, hunting the anomalies on the maps, doing side quests, bonding with characters going on outings, just exploring the map finding collectibles, finding photo spots. Still have the city tycoon mode to unlock and fishing, I believe there's also races on the map but I haven't tried those yet as I only have a scooter.

The fighting is pretty good, fast, fluid and flashy, very similar to wuthering waves combat. The gacha so far has also been very generous, I'm close to having all the main characters in the basic draw already and I've spent no money.

The visuals, voice acting and cutscenes also feel high budget and well crafted. Only negative I would say might be for some is the game has a silly vibe to it so far with quite a big focus of comedic moments within the group your in.

I quite like ZZZ but I'm sorry NTE blows it out of the water. Been playing NTE for about 8 hours now and it's been fantastic, it's a blend of ZZZ, Wutha and Control and it's mechanics are well executed.

Yet again a big fuss made over nothing.

Just Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter for me day one. The rest il get on sale later on or if they hit PlayStation Plus first.

Not a great month for me, not interested in Sports and Soul-likes.

A nothing burger for me, this is why I have decent Internet for.

@CielloArc I'd still rather Sony come out and make a statement about this just to clarify instead of people making guesses on twitter and youtube. Even if it is a measure against scammers people are still going to complain.

@GeminiX53 Well it doesn't matter if i let Sony off the hook or not does it, at the end of the day it doesn't matter where I game there's going to be some form of DRM in place for digital purchases, Wether it's Playstation, Nintendo, Xbox or Steam (Don't even know what GoG is) any digital purchases I make I still don't own the game, Im just paying for a license.

Its either let DRM ruin my hobby and give up on console gaming altogether or just move on and continue gaming as usual as I don't believe DRM will effect me personally as im always connected online anyway.

@XenonKnight That would make sense if that's the case, just need Sony themselves to clarify with a statement.

And yeah PC elitists can't say anything since Steam is full of DRM of different kinds.

@Yousef- I was going to call you out on your comment as well, but then I realised if your comment was aimed at a Sony live service studio then it would have gained 20+ likes by now. So you do you 👍, can't be biased now can we.... 😜.

@HRdepartment I just googled about rights to digital games and this is what came up.

When you purchase digital games, you do not own them outright, but rather purchase a license to access and play them. This license is subject to terms and conditions, meaning access can be revoked if the platform shuts down, the account is banned, or the publisher removes the game.

Seems to me people need to start investing more into physical if they want to actually own their games. If the majority of people knew this then I wonder how many would still be championing an all digital future.

@JetmanUK If your net is down for 30 days then that's a bigger problem for you to fix than not being able to play some games.

The fact is nearly all gamers have Internet these days, especially with new consoles and games as it's a necessity for game and console updates and some games need it for initial downloads otherwise they are unplayable.

Worst case scenario you can even connect your Playstation to your mobile phones hotspot, just for that renewal.

So it's literally the same process Xbox currently uses and one Playstation already uses for Playstation Plus games. Those with Internet (99.9% of gamers) will not even notice this as a problem.

Hopefully I can get into this one as their games have been hit and miss lately, Crystar was painful to get through and Crymachina was just OK in my opinion, and don't get me started on Varlet and Reynatis some of the worst jrpgs I've played this gen.

Isn't this the same with Xbox consoles, any digital purchases can be played without being connected to the Internet for 30 days, after 30 days you have to connect to the Internet to renew the license and then you can disconnect from the Internet and play again for another 30 days before needing to renew again.

If you're are always connected to the internet or connect a few times a week then this will never be an issue for you.

For those few that do go longer than 30 days without connecting to the internet you don't actually lose access to your games, you can go 100 days without playing your console you just renew everything when you finally do connect to the Internet.

I thought this was already a thing with Playstation as well or maybe that's just with Playstation Plus games.

@RBRTMNZ Pretty sure its a roguelike, the whole premise is dying and to keep coming back more geared up until you can progress to the next level.

@RoomWithaMoose From those games you mentioned I've only played two of those IP's over the last 10 years, those being Crash and Fallout and I wouldn't say they were system sellers for me. There are people like myself that prefer Japanese/Asian games, mainly jrpgs which PlayStation is known for whereas Xbox is mainly a console for western games and has always been associated with shooters. So it wouldn't be surprising that quite a few people on Playstation don't have any interest in those games you mentioned.

@LogicStrikesAgain Compared to 5+ years ago there's 100% way more Xbox and PC fans on these comment sections, but don't worry we are the fan boys 😂.

Well if they take a data driven approach I'm sure the games will continue to be released on Playstation. If they want exclusives then they have to take a hit in revenue, it's either please the top brass or please their fans.

Goodbye Haven Studio 🪦

If you're triggered so much into commenting then please don't moan about click baiting... when you're the one biting 🙄.

This article is here for people who want a discussion about said topic or even those that just want to troll. If you're here just to moan about the article itself then gtfo 😜.

Didn't know people were forced to read these articles and then also forced to comment on them.
