@Slayer25c That response couldn’t be any more stereotpically zoomer if you tried.

Also, saying that a reviewer or commenters that don’t like a basically 2d JRPG are “pass” their prime is rather hilarious, given that most of them likely cut their teeth on this style of game before you were old enough to walk.

I’ve been enjoying the heck out of this on my Switch 2 off and on. Really should pick it up for PS5, too!

It’s a resolution boost and image quality improvement for zero dollars.

Gamers are impossible to please.

@Drax007 A-freaking-men. Some of the English VAs are pretty decent but Kiryu is a COMPLETE miscast. That alone removed any desire I had to ever listen to an English LAD again.

@SeaDaVie There are western so-called “fans” who don’t understand why things in these games are the way they are and want them to be changed to cater to their sensibilities. This never ever goes well, and it’s usually people who don’t even play the games that are the complainers.

Damn right. They should make ZERO concessions to demands from the west for any kind of changes. Yakuza/LAD is great as it is and RGG knows what they’re doing.

@Vipor007 Let me know if you see an example sometime, then.

I was genuinely about to buy Lego Horizon for $19.99 on disc when I saw the announcement.

Saved me twenty bucks, so yeah I’m pretty darn happy with the games this coming month just for that!

@Vipor007 Which specific part of this article gives you that indication?

@JoeNobody …because this is a PS-centric site?

The fact that you can’t play Sky 3 in English outside of PC should make this a rather large no-brainer.

That said, I’m impatient and working on Zero right now, spoilers be damned. As much as I was left on a massive cliffhanger with Sky 1 remake, all the other games went on sale and I picked them up.

“Give us more money now so we can maybe make more stuff in this game that you can buy for even more money!”

Wow, way to sell me on buying your stuff, Ubisoft.

@themightyant …I have never heard that slang in over forty years on this earth as a native English speaker. Guess I live a sheltered life.

The other reason you might want to play the original version: If you don’t have a PS5.

Pretty big reason.

(Yes, I have a PS5 and own this game digitally and physically, so don’t hit me with “just buy a PS5 then!”)

These are all games I’ve considered but never purchased.

My patience has won out!

This sure is a change from the usual, “Sorry in advance, this next game is going to be a huge letdown.”

Refreshing honesty!

This pleases me. It’s a shame Sega couldn’t get the Switch 2 version to 60, but oh well! I’ll happily replay these in the very near future.

@FullMetalWesker Higher resolution, perhaps? And we still don’t know if Kiwami 2 will run at 60fps, nothing has been confirmed to my knowledge.

It would be utterly silly if it DIDN’T, but they couldn’t get it to 60fps on Switch 2 and you never know with Sega these days.

Who knows at this point? I just know I’m a sucker and will buy them no matter what because I’m an idiot!

Sega: “We want to offer our digital customers an upgrade and appreciate your business.”

Also Sega: “Eat s&$t and die, disc buyers lol”

Thankfully I own them all physically and non-PS-plus digitally, so the upgrade will be cheap alongside my preordered disc copies. But this is a pretty scummy move from Sega.

@LogicStrikesAgain Do I want Bungie in general to fail? Nah.

Do I want this game in particular to fail? Only because they used the name of a series I grew up with and loved as a skin suit. If they'd called it Jim Bob's Extraction Shooter instead, I'd feel nothing but "eh" for it rather than the annoyance I have at its existence. Pretty cringy? Perhaps, but I'd like to think that's the correct reaction to someone taking something you loved and completely altering it into something that feels utterly soulless.

As it is, I wish all the best to Bungie as a whole, but at this point my only interest in it will be how large Marathon's impact crater will be compared to Concord.

But hey, that's also just my opinion!

Given that the game requires a download, is the patch even optional when installing “from the disc” anyway?

@Kanji-Tatsumi Sorry to reply months later, but there IS a physical release for this game! I ordered it from play Asia, along with the Switch 2 physical copy as well! The import will play in English on both platforms.

Sorry, every other game. E33 is hopefully going to sweep every category it is in.

Bad year for Death Stranding 2 to come out.

“Interest” can mean a lot of things.

I sincerely doubt much of it is good at this point.

The harm is that it is Concord. Also, it still belongs to Sony and it is theirs to do with as they please.

Sony wants to forget it ever existed, and there are genuinely thousands of games worth play of before wasting time on dollar store Guardians of the Galaxy.

@AdamNovice It’s not the live service that’s the real issue. It’s releasing something like this and having the double whammy of “Oh, this PS property isn’t on PS, is that a problem?” and “Oh hell yeah, we AI’d the heck out of this game with AI!”

“How can we make people hate the idea of a Horizon mobile MMO that isn’t even on PlayStation even more?”

“Use AI to develop it and then brag about how extensively we used it?”

“BRILLIANT, get on that right now!”

Gamers: “Can we have a New Vegas port for our older systems?”

Bethesda: “Best I can do is a few tv episodes.”

I love the warped humor of the Disgaea series, and I’m definitely interested in this one for sure.

@KahnArtizt07 It did, as someone else also pointed out. I took advantage of it.

Doesn’t surprise me at all. Obviously Yotei will have technical improvements over its predecessor, especially being made for PS5. Sucker Punch obviously learned lessons with the first game and running it on newer hardware.

Story wise, it’s very hard to top GoT. Especially with Jin as the focus. Such a good character.

I’ll get to Yotei someday. Backlog is too high, and I’ll be happy with a used copy down the road.

Bungie does seem to be an albatross around Sony’s neck at this point.

It’s so deeply sad seeing the name that gave us the ORIGINAL Marathon, Pathways Into Darkness (deep cut for my fellow old school gamers!), Halo, etc reduced to this.

@Shigurui It did, and I took advantage of it at the time! It just blows my mind how Bethesda ever thought this was a good idea.

@LikelySatan Same. I want to like it but…I just don’t. I bounce off 4 every time I try.

…why would I pay anything for any of this when I already have fallout 4 and all the dlc with the free PS5 upgrade that already exists? Unless you have a mad-on for that creators club thing, this is a silly thing to blow cash on.

This is one of the most pointless things I’ve seen, and I say this in a universe where GTA5 and TLoU1 have both received releases on three separate consoles for full price.

@themightyant Yeah, why should we expect any news or updates five years to the day after they announced the next ME game was in development?

We’re totally unreasonable and toxic for wanting that!

@XenonKnight @Dogbreath Sadly I have no faith in them. As someone pointed out to me, this might be a studio with the same NAME as BioWare but it sure isn’t the same BioWare that did the ME trilogy. There might be one or two people there who were present, but the rest?

I have zero confidence in current BioWare. Mass Effect will remain a great trilogy (and meh side game) in my mind, just like those three (and ONLY three) Dragon Age games were pretty darn good.

Translation: “You idiots are still buying shark cards for GTA Online at a higher rate than we expected and we don’t want to interrupt that cash flow yet by releasing this game. We need yoy good and ready so we can make this the next game we use to milk you with for the next fifteen years!”

I’m sure this will go well.

@Jrs1 Amusingly, I’m going to try to do just that this weekend I think! My PS2 Slim and about 100 games physically in my possession might be getting a new lease on life soon.

@Propaperpusher Happy for you. Doesn’t change how I feel!

@tselliot Been nearsighted all my life and worn glasses constantly since the second grade. I’m essentially blind WITHOUT my glasses.

Problem is as I’m getting older it’s harder to see smaller things really close up WITH my glasses, so I’m on the way to bifocals/progressive lenses. Since I don’t want to take off my glasses just to play a portable screen… shrug

As I get older, the idea of a portable interests me less and less due to my eyesight not being what it once was.

That said, I figured the Portal would be a megaflop. A device to stream games from your PS5? Nah. Destined to fail. No one wants a device that relies on another device to play games portably.

Apparently I was quite wrong! Still have zero interest in it myself, but I definitely see how it would be useful for some. Still find direct game streaming from online to be a complete no-go, though.

Oh no whatever will I do?

Ah, right. Continue buying physical so I own my games instead of an indefinite rental. Same with my movies.

Not every month can be AAA mega releases, folks.

Stray is fun. I already owned it but I'm not whining and moaning about it. The other two games aren't my thing, though TABS at least looks a little interesting.

Everyone expects the games every month to cater to their specific desires. Its impossible.

Nah. I forgot this game existed till I saw this article and I’ll forget it exists again a few minutes after.

It was important only as a demonstration of how NOT to promote your product. Claiming to be the victim of a coordinated negativity campaign, for example.

I don’t have PS Plus essential for the online play. I don’t play online in general save for the occasional game of Helldivers 2 or random month of FF14. And FF14 doesn’t require Plus anyway.

I have it for the monthly games, access to years of said monthly games accumulated, and cloud saves. Online play is a bonus for those rare times I feel the need.

Is anyone actually surprised by this?

I tried Outer Worlds 1 several times. Each time I get further in but lose interest.

I’m not even trying the second one.

@Orpheus79V I don’t think I even knew there was a Grand Tour game. Huh!

Other than New World, what have they done? I struggle to think of any other games without googling.

@nomither6 I don’t even remember that level, so that’s how much of an impact it made on me during my single playthru of 3.

The Library, though? That level dragged so long that I instantly knew what level this article was referring to without remembering the name of said level.
