@Gaia093 that was my first thought to, and if they do it'd be a bit hypocritical, the gore is similar to MK. It is the sex and nudity that I wonder if they'll censor.
For the little I used online, I got rid of it 2 years ago and haven't missed it. The few games I want to play online Lumines Arise and MK Legacy, I got on steam and they run great on my mini pc
@Oram77 give me remasters of hard to play games. The PS5 can play PS4 games, I don't need Horizon, TLOU, Until Dawn, remaster games from PS3 and earlier
@get2sammyb felt the same exact way. Every 4 or so years I'll but a COD game to play for a bit, now that I know I'll probably get out with people that play 24/7 and I will have no shot? No thanks. I don't need to win every game I play, but it won't be fun either.
@Jey887 that is where I am now. I realized I barely play online, so when PS Plus subscription ended, I didn't bother to renew, it's been over a year.
Games drop in price fast, game fly has good sales too even on fairly new games, I just got AC Shadows with the DLC expansion code included for $30 after shipping.
@Splat that's the thing though, a publicly traded company has the duty to make as much money as they can. So if with all the complaining customers saying Beavis & Butthead, American Dad don't fit, but the skins sell, make a lot of money, or the license holder pays Activision for exposure, they almost have to to do it.
$70 games is a big problem. A game has to be something that I can't live without to want to buy it when it releases. A lot of that is I have zero interest in online or multiplayer games.
I know that not only will there be fixed, update, modes added (like new game plus), more often the not a game will go on sale after a few months.
$30 for Silent Hill 2 remake $20 for RE4 $30 Alan Wake 2
I paid $80 for 3 amazing games by just waiting a few months after each was released.
Tony Hawk 3&4 is already $35 (was $50) and it's a few weeks old. Almost crazy to buy a game when it releases.
This is where I think intead of new entries, release an update, charge something for it and keep the game alive.
Is this game that different then part 6? I look at Cities, a game that ended up in such a good place, and the disaster that Part 2 was, other then revenue was the game needed?
Of course I understand revenue is very important, but sometimes a company has to pivot and create new streams rather then release a sequel.
Could have just tossed out a 6 as the review score as soon as they tried to hype "only $50". They knew it's flaws, if they truly believed they had something special, it would have been $70, even if it was only 12 hours.
EA would probably want to monetize everything separately, but charge $30 or $40, put PvZ 1,2 (without the freemium stuff) and the Garden Warfares in one package
Will support this game because it's single player! So many horror franchises just getting the crappy multiplayer DBD game, F13, Evil Dead, TCM, Killer Klowns.
I know Saber has been a big contribute to that, but they were beholden to the rights holder.
@Stragen8 Uncharted 2 online co op was the last online game I played regularly, spent hours in that mode just shooting enemies, was so much fun and lacked all the live service stuff
Especially knowing how fast these games go on sale. In the last 2 weeks, I purchased Dead Rising Remaster $27, Ghostwire Toyko $20, Warhammer 2 $39.99, and I am not going to have time to play all of those, by the time I have time Doom will be $10.
@LogicStrikesAgain there has to be a reason it's only $50. I'm guessing with them coming out, saying it's not open world, and touting the game isnt going to be a "time sink" it's going to be really short.
@Oz_Who_Dat_Dare it was also $20 for a long time, I bought it for $20, I have tried to get into 3 times, but just can't, I gave it about 3 hours in each time.
@MrPeanutbutterz yeah, really was reading the review saying how good it was, then just casually drops the worst thing about the GAME is the gameplay, like wth?
Still, when it's dirt cheap I'll grab it, I got patience, just bought Shadow of Mordor for $5.
@Residentsteven I really want a PSVR2 for Hitman, but it's just not enough to justify the price. Sony dropped the ball hard on PSVR2. I had the first one, and while it was clunky, there was enough software that I was happy with it.
@Oz_Who_Dat_Dare I don't totally disagree, but it's more what games are getting remastered, Until Dawn, Last of US, Horizon, Days Gone. Games that are easily accessible, games that already look great on current Gen.
The GOW games are stuck on PS2 and PS3, and could be updated.
The shooter spin offs were fun. EA totally killed the tower defense game with part 2 and all the stupid micro transactions.
For me Bloons took over to scratch that tower defense itch. Mobile game paid the $10 for it, and can ignore all the micro transactions and have a full fledged game.

I remember Enter the Matrix being panned, I still got it, and thought it was much more then just a cash in, I enjoyed it.
Few months ago I downloaded a fresh texture pack and played it again, while there were rose colored glasses, it still was so much fun playing as Neo.

Re: Analytics Firm Predicts Paltry Full-Price Sales for DOOM: The Dark Ages on PS5

Re: Poll: Are You Sold on Borderlands 4?
I played 2 and 3 way after they came out, in fact, just finished 3 about 3 months ago, only paid $10 for it and it included everything.
Enjoyed them, but they aren't must play, no interest in online or co op, so I'll play it a year or two down the road
Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Major Updates Announced, Story Missions, New Game+, and More Coming Soon

@Oz_Who_Dat_Dare it was also $20 for a long time, I bought it for $20, I have tried to get into 3 times, but just can't, I gave it about 3 hours in each time.
Maybe I'll drop $10 and try one more time.

Re: God of War Fans Gutted with Free 20th Anniversary Goodies
@Oz_Who_Dat_Dare I don't totally disagree, but it's more what games are getting remastered, Until Dawn, Last of US, Horizon, Days Gone. Games that are easily accessible, games that already look great on current Gen.
The GOW games are stuck on PS2 and PS3, and could be updated.
