@Pinkman invasions murder is a huge let down. I skipped season 3 after getting board is season 1. It was just repeating the same thing and getting crap consumables that weren't necessary to win.
WB is more interested in creating live service and micro transactions then anything.
Remember when MK had kart racing, chess puzzle Kombat? Now we can't even get new fatalities without paying.
@Bunchesopuppies No it's not. The Arkham games are praised for being great. The Spiderman games are goty. The problem is WB salivating at the idea of making tons of extra money making the game live service.
I started with a PSVR, enjoyed it, then looked at and bought a quest 2. The draw of no wires, adding custom songs to Best Saber and for the most part much better tracking was appealing. I knew it wasn't as powerful, but it was a better fit.
While I'm SURE PSVR 2 is way more powerful, looking at the game library and seeing the lack of support from Sony isn't getting me back.
I enjoyed Until Dawn and The Quarry. However I don't think The Quarry was worth $70 for the amount of time I spent with it. I ended up getting it for $40 and was happy with that.
Thing is, it's a single player experience. I don't feel that I am missing out not playing it the day it's released. I think I am actually getting more if I wait, as patches generally make the experience better, adding things, fixing things.
Also, as history has shown, the games do not hold value and the price drops fast. So is it worth $70? Quali6wise, probably, but if I hold out a few months, I am sure I won't have to pay the $70 to experience a superior version.
You mean the multi billion dollar company that prints money and can focus group, and test and survey people knew what they were doing pricing something so high??
They know they are going to alienate a number of people at $50, but they know that the extra $ they're charging more then makes up for those people that will not buy because of the price.
@belmont Because no matter how many people complain, the guest selling characters are best sellers. Boon had said in the past the horror characters sold like crazy
@NinjaNicky It will never happen, WB made a small fortune selling characters. Especially with the guest characters, Boon had said the Freddy and Jason sold really well.
They aren't going to go backward. You can wait a year and get the "complete" edition though
@Hundred_Hand_Slap me too, they have so many games they could remake/remaster that would probably sell great Mk 1 2 3, Shalon Monks, I think they really dropped the ball when it came to taking advantage of the 30th anniversary.

@HistoricKombat Does it? Even after it was patched to run at 60 FPS??

@NinjaNicky nope Sony said it's for all versions, physical too.

Re: Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Post-Launch Updates to Add New Game+, Mission Replay
@trev666 Me too, and this is a reason I wait a few months. Look at Horizon, adding patches modes, it just doesn't pay to play day 1 anymore.
Re: Activision Boss Hints a Guitar Hero Revival Could Be on the Cards
I just play Clone Hero now, tons of songs.
Re: Assassin's Creed Mirage (PS5) - A Solid But Slightly Dated Return to the Series' Roots
Ubisoft will not fool me again in buying their game at launch. Their prices drop like stones after a couple of months
Re: Housemarque to Establish 'the Nordics' Most Advanced Gaming Headquarters' in 2024
Returnal was cool, but I would give anything for a Resogun 2.
Re: The Sims 5 Confirmed Free-to-Play, The Sims 4 to Receive Continued Support in Tandem
@Rob3008 Life By You from Paradox. No idea how it's going to be of course, but hopefully it will be good and not this insane greed by EA.

Who cares who is on the cover, all that matters is if the game is good or not.
Re: WrestleQuest Hit with Unexpected Stunner, Launch Delayed by Progression Bug
This looks like a purchase for the Switch, prefer this style, non action in handheld mode.
Re: Baraka, Li Mei, and Tanya Konfirmed in New Mortal Kombat 1 PS5 Trailer

Re: Rumour: PS5 Pro Release Date Reportedly Slated for November 2024
How about stop making games for the PS4 and just concentrate on the current PS5?

How does this"punish" people who quit? The quitter doesn't stick around to see the animation, it's just a way to end the match.

$50 is a budget title now.
Re: Sony Eager to Ensure PS Plus Remains Relevant and Offers More Value
What a crock, they just stated the other day about how they don't put their first party games on Plus until the games are old.
Hell, THEY make MLB The Show and it's a part of Game pass!
Re: Mortal Kombat 1 Will Bury Krypt System for Unlocks, Replacement Teased for PS5 Release
As long as there are unlocks for just playing the game, I'll have no problem with that. I'll actually enjoy it.
While I am enjoying SF6 a lot, the World Tour mode is getting a bit tedious.
Re: Mortal Kombat 1's Breathtaking First PS5 Footage Stains Summer Game Fest
I hated the character assists in MK11 Towers, this looks very similar. Start a combo get it interrupted by the kameo fighter.
They are latching into this kameo system for MK11 and it seems like the wrong thing.
Re: PS Plus, Game Pass Subscription Growth Has Totally Stalled in USA
I let my Ps Plus lapse partly because I rarely play multiplayer and the games they give each month are games I rarely play.
They may get me back though with some online SF6 and MK1.

Re: Mini Review: Beat Saber (PSVR2) - A Serviceable Port of One of VR's Best Games
@nessisonett Mods aren't supported for any version of Beat Saber. It is all done unofficially, but they do work well.
The fact that the PC/quest version allows the "hacking" of 1000's of songs will always make those the better version in my eyes.

Re: Mortal Kombat 1's PS5 Kombat Pack Kontents May Have Been Accidentally Outed

Re: Final Midnight Suns DLC, PS4 Version Both Launch on 11th May
The PS5 version is $35 now, what are they gonna sell the PS4 version for?
Re: Preview: Street Fighter 6 PS5, PS4 Chucks the Kitchen Sink At Fans Who Complained About the Previous Game
I enjoyed the fighting, that hub world or whatever was the cheesiest thing and not in a good way. I guess humor is subjective.
And that other shoe is gonna drop from that last paragraph "live service game" ugh

@somnambulance Something about that free roam mode seemed so cheesy to me.
Re: Alan Wake 2 Is Still on Track for 2023 Release on PS5
@PSXDave hopefully not, the last gen needs to die, so the current gen can take advantage of it's power.

Re: Diablo 4 Details Its Many Endgame Activities
@illegalmonkey so to play, there needs to be at least one ps+ sub? I let ps+ expire and haven't missed it at all.
Re: PSA: Resident Evil 4 Remake Has a Super Specific Game-Breaking Bug
@KundaliniRising333 What? The article is literally pointing out Capcom talking about it
Just don't start flailing the knife at that point. That's it; game is fine otherwise.

Re: Agent 47 Gets Hit with a Sleeper Hold, Hitman Franchise Is 'a Little Bit on Hiatus'
Very disappointed, I don't have much interest in 007. They don't even need to make a new Hitman game, create new levels and sell them as DLC
