Money is money. Why do anything that hurts income if no one says anything? It was removed because someone said something, and only because of that. Not because of some moral imperative to keep stolen property off the store. Sony/nin/xb/steam are collecting 30% off each purchase.
Anime style gacha games are the new soulslike. Surprised Sony hasn't jumped on this trend. Probably better chance of success than the hero/extraction shooters.
I can wait for a sale, or in borderlands case, for the ultimate edition with all the dlcs. They're just gonna hurt launch day numbers. New releases in general.
Gamestop offered $320 store credit for my base launch ps5 disc. Wanted to put it towards a ps5pro. Even with the trade-in I'm looking at upwards of $450+(ps5pro w/disc drive). Im good on the extra frames. And if gta vi is mainly dependant on the cpu, then the pro won't matter one lick.
It's a nice feature. Wish more game devs did cross progression. I play cyberpunk on the series x, pick up where i left off on the steam deck. Same with the witcher iii. Play on the series x, play it on the switch on the go.
Be nice considering my ps+ account is synced with my steam account, if it worked with GoTsushi and hd2. Play here, pick up there.
We live in an age where people who can afford to pay for privilege, do so. Simple. Whether it's buying a car(base model or top of the line), using a paid lane on the roads, or fast pass at amusement parks, buying a premium edition game over the vanilla version, or even ad-free tier on streaming platforms. People pay for privilege. Its OPTIONAL. Don't want the perks, then stay with the basic tier.
Make a great singleplayer farcry game with a fun multiplayer tacked on, like the olden days. Watch the money roll in.
By the time anyone releases a game based on a trend(br, hero shooters, extraction), the trend has usually passed or has its established games. Look at sony's late to the party gaas debacle.
I want a killzone or resistance made for the psvr2. And some patches for cyberpunk, gta, robocop, etc., for psvr2 as well. And imagine some of the old school light gun games on psvr2. Some time crisis, house of the dead, point blank.
Love my deck. Put about 100+hrs on helldivers 2. 30+ hrs on cyberpunk. Just starting rdr 2. What I see most from detractors is "it isn't really portable." My definition may be different than theirs. I don't try to play in the car, at a restaurant, etc. It's portable-ness comes down to i can bring grand triple-A experices with me, wherever I go, with out lugging my ps5/pc, or streaming, etc. Just my deck/switch and a charger and I'm gaming like I would've at home, but elsewhere.
Days gone, hzd, tlou 1/2, dead space, silent hill 2, resident evil, soul reaver, tomb raider remasters/remakes. Baldurs gate iii, astro bot, kcd2, and other sequels.
After all the silliness warzone introduced, and apex and fortnite being what they are, people probably just wanted something less absurd. Went back to a free pubg with plenty of updates.
The big complaint with the "compensation" is there are plenty of gamers affected by the outage that aren't subscribed. So this compensation means nothing to them. I understand where they are coming from.
Also, would you accept/want free food from a restaurant that gave you shyte food to begin with?

Re: Inquiry Already Underway Over Lacklustre DOOM: The Dark Ages Opening
Usually how it works is:
Gamers: that game was awesome! We want more! A sequel!
*Game releases
Gamers: boooo! It's too similar!! Or not similar enough!!
Either way, gamers tend to not know what they want.
Re: Fairgames, One of Sony's Last Live-Service PS5 Games, Loses Studio Founder Amid Internal Worries
Plenty of blame to go around. Jade for not releasing anything, ever. Sony for not recognizing talent, lately.

Re: PS Portal Keeps on Defying Odds, UK Makes It a Best-Seller
I'm sure the ps+ streaming has helped. A few people probably just grabbed the portal and a sub. Cheap way to play some ps5 games.
Re: Rumour: Far Cry Multiplayer Shooter Has Been 'Rebooted' as Ubisoft Turmoil Continues
Make a great singleplayer farcry game with a fun multiplayer tacked on, like the olden days. Watch the money roll in.
By the time anyone releases a game based on a trend(br, hero shooters, extraction), the trend has usually passed or has its established games. Look at sony's late to the party gaas debacle.
Re: Talking Point: Is Forza Horizon 5's PS5 Price Point Too High?
In the states it's 3rd and 4th(premium and standard edition) on the pre-order charts. Maybe similar elsewhere. Just saiyan.
Re: Talking Point: Is PSVR2 Worth Buying In 2025?
I want a killzone or resistance made for the psvr2. And some patches for cyberpunk, gta, robocop, etc., for psvr2 as well. And imagine some of the old school light gun games on psvr2. Some time crisis, house of the dead, point blank.
