Re: Sifu Pre-Order Early Access Issues Fixed on PS5, PS4

@TotallySpectacul why punish the Devs for a mistake Sony made? Physical will cost £45. You've saved money either way. I'm a dad too, I get that time is valuable but you can spend the coming weeks and months playing it as much as you like. You'll likely get compensated too. No need for the bitterness.

Re: Reaction: We Need to Talk About Tiny Tina on PS Plus

@TheCollector316 cod isn't going anywhere anytime soon. People don't seem to realise the cash cow that it is, particularly on ps! Microsoft would have to be real bitter to just throw that profit away. Shoving it on gamepass for £10.99 a month (majority don't even pay that) won't bring in the millions it's generated for Activision over the years.

Re: BioWare Still 'Hard at Work' on New Mass Effect, Dragon Age 4

I've not played many of their games. I finished ME1 and played a good chunk of 2. Didn't get around to 3 or any of the DA games. I do hope they recover from Anthem though. They were put in a ***** position by EA to rush that game out and suffered massively from it.

I think in terms of open world, Witcher 3 nailed it down. Not only with it being single player but it lasting much longer with all the DLC too. Nobody is against DLC as a whole. If it keeps people playing the game long term then I'm all for it. Too many games skimp on story DLC these days and save it for sequels. It's not the way to do it. Hopefully BW go along these lines.

Re: Days Gone Also Sold Over 8 Million Copies on PS4, Claims Director

Bought it after all the hype for it got to me. I'm sure I spent a good few days going back to it but it just didn't end up hooking me in. I purchased it from the ps+ collection and will possibly go back down the line but the attitude of the dev is beyond ridiculous at this point. Your game didn't perform to standards set this generation. You've been given the green light to work on a new IP for Sony, think yourselves lucky your studio hasn't been dropped.

ND - Crash - Uncharted - TLOU
SP - Infamous - Ghost of Tsushima
G - Killzone - Horizon ZD/FW

nothing stopping them knocking this new IP out the park bar their own attitudes.

Re: PS Plus Blocks Free Mortal Shell PS5 Upgrade

dapinionated

@Bleachedsmiles that's not always gonna be a plus for Microsoft. At one point they'll have to take full advantage of the series X hardware and produce games that aren't held back by the previous gen. Otherwise they've sold you an upgraded Xbox one S/X.

Bad practice from Sony still but don't act like Microsoft have it all figured out.

Re: Talking Point: Is Sony Being Stingy with PS5's First-Party Pricing?

dapinionated

Doesn't affect me in the slightest. I'll always usually stump for special editions of Sony exclusives anyways. Have done since TLOU. Followed suit with UC4, HZD and then TLOU2.

I get the ease of buying digitally and not having to get off your ass to put a disc in but physical will always win that battle. R&C Rift Apart was literally going for £25 physical yesterday at Tesco here in the UK. That's literally more than half the price of digital. If there's a game I desperately want and it's sitting under say £20 digitally then I'll be tempted to get it but that's my limit.

There's too many folk enabling these price hikes by account sharing. I guarantee if Sony put a stop to that, digital sales would drop massively.

Let's not forget that (as mentioned in the article) Nintendo are probably worse if not just as bad as Sony and while Gamepass is a fun, fleshed out concept, it's still expensive or will be expensive in the long run. The £1 stacking deals won't last forever, then you're over £130 a year for it. Let's not also forget that they sell their first party titles digitally at roughly the same price as Sony do too.

Re: Kena: Bridge of Spirits Characters Don't Look Quite So Cute as Fall Guys Costumes

dapinionated

Kena has been on my radar since the reveal. With the price range it's safe to assume the game won't be overly long but the world looks incredible. The guys behind it are former animators for Pixar right?! It shows! Who knows, maybe we'll get some nice dlc if the game sells well. The lack of reviews doesn't concern me for an indie title.

On the other hand I only have 4 crowns right now...
