I hadn't played PoE2 in a couple weeks and finally had an urge to play. Literally 10 mins into my session it went down. Didn't really have anything else I wanted to play that weekend.
How the hell does Fallout beat Arcane? The artistry in Arcane is off the damn charts. Seeing Fallout live was nice but it really wasn't anything that new.
@thefourfoldroot1 They know what 3 games will be free way beforehand I'm sure. All they need to do is not put those three games up for sale. In this case I fully believe SONY hoped they could get some PS+ subscribers to spend extra money they didn't need to.
@thefourfoldroot1 Frankly it's a predatory practice hoping people w/ PS+ will excitedly buy a game that's 50% off before they find out it will be free.
Bought Aliens cause it was on sale, then 3 days later they tell us it's going to be free in December SONY is a scumbag! Won't even give me a refund either.
I literally just bought Aliens on Friday since it was on sale, now these ***** say it woulda been free for me in December!? I went and asked for a refund and was of course denied. SONY is ***** predatory!
It def has a soulslike feel. The BIGGEST issue I have with it is that the dodge button and sprint button are different buttons! I very much prefer the DS way of rolling/sprinting being the same button. Playing this I kept messing up and confusing my buttons.
People call this a "luxury item" but what kind of luxury item doesn't come with the basics, like a disc drive? Also, the upgrades they showcased amounted to higher fidelity in the backgrounds. Not a great selling point.
It's very strange as some of the outfits seem to morph her naval. Her belly button is legit in a different position, and also looks different with some of the belly-exposed suits.
Does it LOOK better than the original, sure. But as far as full remakes go it really feels like it falls short. I'm probably just too spoiled on Capcom RE remakes though.
Wait, this isn't some soulsborne single player game? How is it a F2P RPG? I don't get it. This was one of the few games that REALLY piqued my interest in the SoP. Hearing this really drags my anticipation down.
My wife and I looked forward to co-op'ing in Diablo 4. She was very sad to see it was such a massive stinker. We'll definitely give this a try. Price is right at least
No none of these interest me. Me and practically everyone else was expecting info on what their new game is. WTF is Sony and friends doing teasing the crap out of us?! ANNOUNCE YOUR GAMES!
While the presentation and such was very well done, as usual, messing around with the demo was actually a bit disappointing. Going to have to pass on this one.
Was disappointed w/ the launch and got my money back. Now 3 years later, with everything fixed and the game as initially intended I got it on sale. It is an amazing game and I'm loving every second. Only one crash in 33 hours of play on PS5. Even bought Phantom Liberty I am loving the game so much. Three years too late, but good job CDPR.
Patiently awaiting this. I played Bloober's "The Medium" and thought it was very well down. Giving them a great piece like SH2 and having them update it should be a homerun for them.
@zhoont From what I saw, a rep at Epic Games complained they could NOT choose to lower the price of their games simply because their contract with SONY said they could not.
So if an Epic game was $30 on PSN and Epic Game Store.... if Epic wanted to lower the price or put it on sale they would not be able to because SONY says, "No the price is $30 everywhere." Thus the argument is that SONY artificially keeps prices high.
@Odium Check out that movie they mention(No One Will Save You), It's pretty good, and even Steven King liked it. She was also in the hit series Dope Sick.
Look, I can afford it, but of course nobody will ever like any price increase. $135 a year is still a steal for how many games I get access to. Many of which were games I was on the fence about buying but now get to try, and maybe even find an unknown gem here and there.
From the gameplay I've seen my only gripe is the sound effects appear pretty basic. The clangs and clunks aren't very satisfying to hear, and it's similar to how the original game sounded. Everything else appears really well done though and I AM looking forward to this.
If they want me to buy a battle pass perhaps they should fix their website. I have two accounts and always get caught in a log-in loop, never actually being able to log in. It's atrocious!
@kyleforrester87 You won't need two ps+ subs. You just need a psn acct for each player to link to a bnet acct. You will be playing via one copy of D4 through one acct that has ps+.

Re: Reaction: Switch 2 Looks Solid But the Many PS5, PS4 Ports Won't Spook Sony Yet
$450 for a console with a measly 256gb? $80-90 for a game when we know what games bring for the most part already. No freakin' way Nintendo.

Re: Critically Maligned 90s Street Fighter Animated Series to Make Shock Blu-ray Comeback
They'll do blu-rays for crap like this but not masterpieces like Scavengers Reign. FML.
Re: Poll: Will the Switch 2 Compete with PS5?
All signs point to it being maybe as good as a PS4 Pro. SONY and Nintendo will stay in their lanes as they always have.

Re: AI Limit PS5 Demo Available for One Week Only

Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for October 2024?
@Northern_munkey You can start anywhere w/ the Dark Pictures stuff. It's an anthology so none of the stories intertwine. Enjoy!
Re: Upcoming PS5 Games for October and November 2024
IMO, Metaphor is the big game for October. So excited to play it! The demo definitely got me hooked for more.
