CORRECTION: One of the biggest PS Plus Essential games for some time, TMNT: The Cowabunga Collection, is available to download now for all active members, along with two additional PS5, PS4 titles in Sonic Colors: Ultimate and Dragon Age: The Veilguard.

I'm glad I finished it somehow on Normal.

But it reminds me how I've tried RockBand Endless Song List 2 on Hard. Few songs before finish (Ace of Spades) I got cramp to my wrist so I even couldn't hold anything. ...8 hours straight was wasted...

@tameshiyaku Remote Play was working perfectly before updates. Now it even won't boot up.

Around 800 people are looking forward DA:V ??? It looks like asylum here...

I bought Twisted Metal on PS2 in those days as everybody was talking about it. I've played it for about 20 minutes and returned back to Carmageddon. Actually, Twisted Metal is one huge chaos. Even TES:Daggerfall map has more sense.

So last month Sony quickly put SSKJL to PS Plus for what? Now Dragon Age Veilsomething... do we get DOA crap on Essential constantly?

It is all only backlash of their acts they made to gaming industry (meaning ALL developers).

Since World of Warcraft success, everybody try to make same milking cow. Pushing industry towards MMO has reached it's peak years ago and all years now it is only about dragging players from one to another.

Yes, MTXs hepled to slice more money, but it is not solution.

More terrible acts they made to singleplayer. They jumped on delusion wagon their game must be bigger, better, longer. This myth reached absurdly huge dimensions so we get to point where thousands people work for years on one game, thinking it will live for years.

None of them just stop and think about current situation. What is current state of gaming?

Millions of players are playing one game for years (Fortnite, Fifa, GTA5...) and they are not willing to spend their money elsewere, only occasionally. Rest is pushed to thinking any new game must bring long game experience. But it also leads to "don't spend on another game". Constant updates, seasons, added content... this all leads to "you don't need another game".

Simply, they are wondering why people don't spend on new games, when they are pushed on not spending on another games.

Isn't it better give people shorter, smaller, simpler games and if it succeed sell them sequels?
No stupid DLCs, no MTXs, just equaly good stand alone sequels.

Leave MMO live their life, where lost souls drown their gaming in endless grinding, never ending repeating same things, and don't try to make same thing out of any singleplayer game.

Any game isn't famous because of it is bigger or longer than another. Don't create huge worlds just to fill it with generic content. Make worlds adequate to it's story. It saves resources, time and money.

Focus on fun, not size!

...they have forgotten this.

While majority of you around here have Steam Deck, may I ask you how long holds fully charged battery?

I gave up thinking about ROGally because of 30 minutes battery.

@Oram77 You don't understand black humor, do you? It was sarcasm. Huge, cruel mirror of all publishers thinking sarcasm.

Please M$, give me original Fable 1. Thank you.

I simply have no stomach to swallow modern audience oriented Dragon Age (even if I love previous titles).

But HEY! Ninja Turtleeeees!

Yes, disclaimer in the middle of game that this system is patented made me hate WB games.

I still cannot use to reworked Jokers, but hey, Assassin.

So what is that? Arkanoid with moving blocks, or what?

@Bagwag82 Yes. The beast has been stupidly released without considering consequences or any backdoors.

@Bagwag82 AI will screw up after Real Look post-process so it will be clearly recognised.

It looks like this PEGI - a self called experts - finaly got slapped in face. But what a worst thing is, it looks they even didn't play game before, because normal, reasonable thinking person, couldn't give Balatro 18 and claim it is about gambling (contrary to FIFA and its "booster packs"). So it looks PEGI is another useless institution that even doesn't do it's job right.

@Bagwag82 Yes

It is fun to see how stupid people are with showing off.

When Phil Spencer first showed it to me, where he had an Xbox controller and this model basically took the input and generated the output based on the input and it was consistent with the game [that was] a massive moment of ‘wow’. It’s kind of like the first time we saw ChatGPT complete sentences or Dolly draw or Sora, this is kind of one such moment." is translated as "Wow! Money printing machine! You have money printing machine! Now we will release milions of so called games for free and those idiots (customers) will buy as crazy!" "Exactly..."

Pro is rather enthusiast thing. Contrary to PS4 era, this PS5 brings especialy higher price rather than higher experience. But it all doesn't matter while this or next year we get PS6.

Bring back option to disable activity cards

@Oram77 Yes, but question has been already placed in article: "But some fans feel that Sony is diluting PlayStation’s appeal by releasing on PC – after all, why would you bother owning a PS5 if you can play all the games on Steam?"

I love review embargos, it always gives hope developer believes in it's product...

Ehm... "pretty much done" ... shouldn't it already be in disc print factory? So physical version will AGAIN be broken or unfinished???

I'm still angry to myself I've exchanged my PS5 copy of Demon Souls for Diablo 4 crap (I'm lifetime fan of Diablo series... except Diablo 4) but at least I have my day one PS3 copy.

It is choice that don't affect result, only the way how things happen, than why not? AC has lost it's track long ago, so why bother?

Why buy $600 console if you can build $2000 PC to run these games?

The fact most of people have previous console so they are used to it's system and have some backlog.

@Czar_Khastik And I've played Concord offline and it was even better.

Your friends will jump and smash in clear air above small wooden sign "boss, see for $1.99"

A HUGE DIFFERENCE!!! There is no blood on his grey t-shirt when heli lift off! So pay ten bucks for one missing texture!

Please give me Fable.

@ no

Messy trophies is just piece of messy PS5 system UI.

I think about leaving Plus completely. It is nice to have huge backlog, but...

@ 2027

I don't care remastering. Better graphics doesn't affect if the game is fun or not.

@LogicStrikesAgain Open PS store, open Deals tab, filter Full Games and Bundles, change sorting Cheapest first and voila... you have looooong list of slopware

Vampire Survivors don't support mouse??? So why it has clickable pause button on screen hud???

Yes, that sounds perfect God of War can be back. (Million times better than God of Kindergarden)

Maybe one day they realise "modern audience" direction was source of failure...

@Northern_munkey I've put aside my FragFX after reconstruction of my flat. I've find out how to play FPSs on controler (it took me only 18 years).

FragFX (half controler, half mouse) was my best friend for FPS on PS3 and PS4. It is absolutely perfect solution for exPC players, especialy when right stick is heavily limited with it's 1cm movement radius. I would lovely use mouse again in point click adventures, FPSs, iso RPGs, strategies, browser (if PS5 has updated). So many games could be way faster to play. I don't care multiplayer, so I don't care if it is banned for online.

I'm not fan of big RPGs anymore. I always turn every stone just to check everything, finish everything, collect everything and than finally complete main story. When credits roll I take game as closed and uninstall. Unfortunately most new RPGs lost any sense. Side quests are locked until main story is finished, collecting something has ceased, secrets are gone too and crafting has no meaning... so I just finish story and things I can do on the road.

I think I cannot remember RPG, where I was able to go where I want, do what I want, when I want. Last one was Sacred 2 ???

@Sarcasmatwork Eeer... banger? That is another word for flop?

@ Price?

@Mintie OK it doesn't need to be completely offline (it's better) but at least completely singleplayer, like Outriders for example.

Ohh, how I would love to play Kingdom Come... unfortunately I didn't get how to fight, so it is unplayable for me... 😢
