Sony has by far the worst online infrastructure, even worse than Nintendo. (Microsoft has the best.) Difference is Sony wants 60 EUR/a, Nintendo nothing right now and only 20 EUR/a later. And how many times has PSN gotten hacked? It's embarrassing really.
$4 for ONE GESTURE? Are they out of their minds?! Very disappointing to see, especially since cross-over content on the Nintendo systems has always been free in the past.
@shafedog247 what do you mean "now I can finish it"? Did you buy the Japanese versions? They won't patch those with English. You'd have to buy it again in one of the SEA stores to play in English.
@crimsontadpoles @zazzy i honestly can't believe that they put the horizon dlc badge right on the retail cover. it's not even a sticker that they could take off. yes, the badge does say that you can only get the dlc while the quest is active..but it's only going to be active for two weeks after release date and the retail package will be sold for many many months after that. it's such a strange decision to only have the quest for two weeks. maybe they will re-run the quest in the future..but who knows.

@Octane no one's saying that you need to be subscribed for a whole year. you could just pay the $10 for a month when a new game comes out, play it for a month and be done with it. which is what i'll be doing.
isn't incremental turning supposed to help with orientation and nausea? it does the exact opposite for me. it's really disorientating especially at large turn angles. smooth turning is the only way to play for me!
@CylonValis your blood pressure?! unless you're suffering from low blood pressure you don't want it raised lol! you wouldn't even notice high blood pressure, that's why it's so dangerous! what you're talking about is your pulse.
the state of plus games for the US and EU is sad. SEA territories got ratchet & clank and knack last month. add to that that plus costs almost nothing there. for example in indonesia you can get 12 months of plus + a full version of fifa 18 for 40 EUR right now. and the regular price for 12 months of plus is 20 EUR. WOW! (and no: it's not that games generally cost less there. games cost about the same as in US/EU)
@Anchorsam_9 considering this game isn't pro enhanced..did you by any chance play it on a pro with boost mode enabled? could you test again for bugs with boost mode disabled? i could well imagine that boost mode could easily break such a complex game.
@themcnoisy um what? 35/40 is EXACTLY the same as 8.75/10. it's not my own metric. it's called math. and I rounded it (correctly) to one decimal digit as I've never seen any publication give an "out of 10"-score with two decimals. but fine..we can also be conservative and round it to 8.7/10. it's still a score that shows how corrupt famitsu is, especially when you take into account that they were the only publication with a review copy before launch.
@RedMageLanakyn they're not just "handing out high scores". they let you pay for them. that's why they ask developers about their "budget for reviews". they gave sonic forces a 35/40 = 8.8... (and btw: famitsu seems to have been the only publication that even had a review copy for sonic forces before launch)
@Gremio108 the website doesn't mention the DLC specifically. it says it's the "complete series/works" so who knows...
(it does say however that the soundtrack CDs will include all of the additional music that was composed for DLC)
was to be expected considering capcom did the same thing for okami. and dragon's dogma. and resident evil 4. and re 5. and re 6. and re revelations. am i missing one?
the one where they have the american girl talking to you in (very basic and slow) japanese the whole time is actually pretty easy to understand for someone who's learning japanese lol

Re: Free Gran Turismo Sport Update Adds Cars, Tracks, and Bonus Campaigns

um no. because they very fully justified when the game launched. but i'm glad they're taking the splatoon approach with this game.

Re: Review: Kerbal Space Program (PS4)
@Tulio517 dude this is already a patched version of the game they released in 2016.
also it's inexcusable that it's not pro enhanced.
Re: We Happy Few Delayed to Summer 2018 Following Story Rearrangement
maybe don't start selling (pre-orders) the game and then move the release date...that's basically theft and something that should be illegal.

Re: First Monster Hunter: World Review Is Near Perfect
@themcnoisy 35/40 = 8.75/10 =~ 8.8/10
Re: First Monster Hunter: World Review Is Near Perfect
@themcnoisy giving sonic forces an 8.8 a couple of months ago seems to disagree
Re: First Monster Hunter: World Review Is Near Perfect
@RedMageLanakyn they're not just "handing out high scores". they let you pay for them. that's why they ask developers about their "budget for reviews". they gave sonic forces a 35/40 = 8.8... (and btw: famitsu seems to have been the only publication that even had a review copy for sonic forces before launch)

@RedMageLanakyn well in contrast to famitsu i have not heard of any developer being asked by NL about their "review budget". have you?

Re: Dark Souls Trilogy Coming Exclusively to PS4 This Summer in Japan
get your pricing right. it's not 49000 yen, it's 49800. so if you do round, you have to round to 50000 which is almost $450.
but that doesn't matter anyway as 49800 yen is the price before tax. with 8 % tax added it'll be 53784 yen or $480.
