@PuppetMaster if they should be retired then they deserve a stage with spotlights centered on them to take the final bow while receiving thunderous applause from the audience. Requiem seems like a perfect stage to me.
As a huge LDR I can say that she is the most perfect choice for Bond theme. It's surprising that she wasn't picked sooner for a Bond movie, listen to her song "24" and tell me it isn't perfect for Bond.
@Paramahansa we're talking about not getting things we'd like because other people's feeling might be hurt. Some are upset you play as black guy in Japan, some are upset you shoot black guys in Africa.
@Paramahansa for the last 10 years or so I've been hearing for example how RE5 remake would be "problematic" or straight up racist, and other nonsense, that is the former foot. Now you're experiencing the same thing as "chuds" were and it seems like you don't like it at all.
Maybe a dumb question, but where is the screenshot from? My Firefox web browser store doesn't look like that, also I don't see the option to add review, not even to the games I bought with money. Also since you can only rate games you actually own (digitally) and even those are funky sometimes when there's PS+ version or multiple editions, I'm not worried about "0/10 it's woke" reviews since nobody will buy 70 dollar game just to post bad review.
I already see a lot of crying now that the shoe is on the other foot. Well, if devs cared what would sell or not in the first place rather than trying to own the chuds, maybe they wouldn't have to sell their family silver to chinese and arabs, but I guess it's never too late.
At least Sony can make bank from them this way @Acquiescence I mean, after all the slop Fortnite received, this will hardly make any difference. At least it's not CoD.
When new games drop I always check which will leave in a month so I can play them and I'm like 90% sure Disco Elysium was added later to the executioner's list, which is extremely scummy.
@naruball I don't know about sales, but I never heard anyone saying anything positive about Kinect in retrospective. It definitely hurt XB1 but 360 too went from powerhouse to "lol kinect xD" machine during its final years. And to Buzz, yeah, I'd love some new Buzz games, but there was a series of games called Knowledge Is Power on PS4, which were pretty much Buzz games with different title and they had phone app instead of special controllers. They seem to be delisted now, which is odd.
More like no one really cares. It was fun gimmick on PS2, then it caused Xbox 360 to lose the gen because it's not as cool as it actually sounds and now it goes back to being a gimmick, except now it's old news.
I'm afraid it's going to be an extremely low effort "remake" if true, but I doubt that very much, even basic PS5 ports get announced ahead to rev up the hype engine a bit.
These games are pretty much pay2platinum "games" for the trophy hunters, you can unlock the shiny award for mashing a button for 2 minutes or so, the "devs" give zero hecks and so does Sony it seems. SAD!
The last update bricked my PS3, so thanks for that Sony. If you don't play online, care about trophies or download games I recommend not downloading any more updates, just to be sure.
It's a 4 year old game. The Premium edition should be for the price of Standard edition and with that being said, the complete version of the game should be the only one being sold at this point. Don't test the goodwill of PS owners Microsoft.
@mariomaster96 if you want to play it now, play it, but otherwise I'd recommend playing at least 0 and Kiwamis first. I think devs stated that they made 7 the "new starting point" for new players, but the Yakuza series is just iconic and you're missing a lot by ignoring older titles, even if the gameplay in 3, 4 and 5 haven't aged that great.
@Shad361 Ratcher and Returnal didn't even achieve 10k peak players on Steam and Sackboy, probably the closest PS5 game to AB, had all time peak of whopping 610 players. Even if Sony doesn't care about PS legacy or prestige, these games simply don't sell on PC:
Well I ask dev to fix constant crashing in offline mode. But anyway, it's grossly overrated imo. I usually fall for roguelikes/roguelites HARD but this one I just don't get. It's fun but I had enough after dozen runs or so.
For GTA? Yes, but there better not be some 150 dollar Deluxe edition. And every, and I mean EVERY other publisher better not try anything funny, you're not Rockstar and your game isn't anywhere near Rockstar level. But let's be real, if there will be a price hike, it will be a sneaky 80 bucks and other will soon follow soon.
The thing that's puzzling me about Horizon is that it's somehow the most successful modern Playstation IP, yet there's zero community around the game. I've never seen a single Horizon meme, no joke, no edit, no nothing except that one Nicocado Avocado ones, which I doubt are from fans. Everything about this game seems like a Potemkin village to me, an artificial success to make it look better than it is. But hey, do you want to know the reason why those evil, mysoginistic racist incels online are "hating" Horizon? Let's look at Horizon IP products: Horizon Zero Dawn Horizon Frozen Wilds dlc Horizon Zero Dawn remastered Horizon 2 Forbidden West Horizon 2 Burning Shores dlc Horizon VR Horizon Lego Adventures Horizon tabletop game Horizon Lego set Horizon tv show, now turned into a Horizon movie and the cherry on top is stating that they basically axing Killzone, because it isn't "cheery and colorful" enough (yep, that's the reason they gave)
meanwhile Bloodborne IP: Bloodborne Old Hunters dlc tabletop game
guess whose fans are begging for sequel, remake, remaster, ANYTHING? hint: it's not Horizon you can cope about woman hating chuds all you want but a lot of players are tired of same old formula of open world Ubosoft-style action adventure and preferred treatment of Horizon over Sony's many great IPs
11/15
at least still in the highest rank, but as a self-proclaimed huge fan of Yakuza/LaD, it's a shamefur dispray and I must commit sudoku immediately
@ItsAlwaysSunnyyy PS3 games are just same old PS3 versions running on cloud, only PS1,2 and PSP games are "new" versions and have new sets of trophies. Hope PS6 will have full PS3 emulator running and thus complete backwards compatibility (except Vita I guess)
@Ooccoo_Jr the characters from Ishin are basically the same-ish as their modern day counterparts, not sure if it's supposed to be "real" LaD history or some parallel universe, but you might miss some minor stuff and "fan service" by not knowing the relations between Kiryu and Majima for example but you don't have to play any other games to enjoy this one. That being said, I definitely recommend playing Kiwamis and 0 first, they're iconic.
@Ooccoo_Jr well I don't have the PS5 version and wouldn't mind replaying it, so I guess at least one person says it. Also big thumbs up for LaD Ishin, the only Yakuza game I haven't played yet and was hoping it would be in Plus one day, and that day came it seems. Dying Light 2 and Blood Omen games are great too, this month is really strong!
Yeah, I think I'm skipping this one. VS already got way too much content for the type of game it is. I'm sure they worked hard on the DLC and it will be good, but it ultimately is the same old simple gameplay formula.

Re: Horizon Hatred Simmers Once More As Sony Announces Movie Adaptation
The thing that's puzzling me about Horizon is that it's somehow the most successful modern Playstation IP, yet there's zero community around the game.

But hey, do you want to know the reason why those evil, mysoginistic racist incels online are "hating" Horizon? Let's look at Horizon IP products:
Horizon Zero Dawn
Horizon Frozen Wilds dlc
Horizon Zero Dawn remastered
Horizon 2 Forbidden West
Horizon 2 Burning Shores dlc
Horizon VR
Horizon Lego Adventures
Horizon tabletop game
Horizon Lego set
Horizon tv show, now turned into a Horizon movie
and the cherry on top is stating that they basically axing Killzone, because it isn't "cheery and colorful" enough (yep, that's the reason they gave)
meanwhile Bloodborne IP:
Bloodborne
Old Hunters dlc
tabletop game
