@SeaDaVie I'd take a step further. People who are constantly negative and criticize things 95% of the time are unlikely to have any meaningful relationships.
I really don’t get the hate. Fortnite isn’t for me, but I’m really glad that so many people enjoy it. Whatever they’re doing, it’s clearly resonating with millions of people.
@Sam_ATLUS since the Wii, the only console with which Nintendo struggled was the WiiU and that was a failure everywhere, so I'd say they've done quite well in the UK for about 2 decades now.
@SuperYlvis you're free to focus on anything you want. As long as you want to be respectful and not call others names, it's all good as far as I'm concerned.
Two or more things can be noteworthy at the same time.
@Ambassador_Kong see, if you use several links which use the same source, is there a point to them?
They lead back to this source, which provides estimates, not an official source: https://tech4gamers.com/assassins-creed-shadows-lowest-sales-last-five-games/
"Across all platforms, Shadows performed well in isolation, selling just over 4.3M copies as per our estimates, with 56% on PS5, 26% on Xbox, and 18% on Steam"
Currently playing the game and I have to ask, is better in English or French, in your opinion? I prefer the original but I read somewhere that it's better in English? Can anyone confirm?
@Dogbreath haha, no you don’t. Not everyone plays online. I have premium and I pay less per year. Also, games are not always that much cheaper. Especially if you buy older games that have received significant price cuts.
I just bought Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and I should be playing it. Instead, I find myself playing Vampire Survivors, as I have very little time at them moment and want to properly enjoy 33.
@LazyDaisy so... not everything is a reaction to Nintendo. Sony already had this feature? I know I've played Vampire Survivors for 198 hours, when I got each trophy, how rare it is, etc.
@AdamNovice I think it's also got to do with how much hate female characters with a personality attract in video games. They're supposed to say very little and wear sexy outfits. Anything else is pretty much unacceptable.
"Points were made about consumer law and ownership. UK law is very clear: it requires information to consumers to be clear and correct. The Government are clear that the law works, but companies might need to communicate better. In response to a specific point made by my hon. Friend the Member for Leeds South West and Morley, I should say that it is particularly important in cases where projects fail or games have to be pulled shortly after launch that the information provided to consumers is clear and timely"
@Slayer25c context is important. The psvita cost a whole lot more for research and development than psportal. There were exclusive games made for it, taking resources that could have been spent on ps3/ps4, they must have spent a significant amount on advertising.
Oh, and most importantly, it was sold at a loss, unlike psportal.
So, yes, all things considered the psportal unlike the psvita has been a success

@themightyant I think it was around 30 quid.
Re: Black Ops 7 Dominates PS5 Downloads Despite Backlash
@themightyant Just wanted to say that I bought Expedition 33 in November, but solely because of the price cut it received. It was the biggest one yet.
Re: PS5 Action RPG The God Slayer No Longer Part of Sony's China Hero Project, First Gameplay Footage Is Jaw-Dropping
@IronCrow86 they could be trying to attract extra funding or something. Otherwise, I agree.
Re: PS5 Action RPG The God Slayer No Longer Part of Sony's China Hero Project, First Gameplay Footage Is Jaw-Dropping
I ain't watching that. I'd like my jaw to remain where it is. Thank you very much.
In all seriousness, I watched the trailer and it's exactly my cup of tea (martial arts + magical powers). Hope it turns out as impressive as it looks.

Re: PS5 Is Edging Out the Switch 2 in the UK So Far This Year
@Noone2025 indeed. All evidence would suggest that consoles in their 5th year sell better than new consoles.
Plenty of examples to be found, like...
Re: PS5 Is Edging Out the Switch 2 in the UK So Far This Year
@RoomWithaMoose "And yes, you two sound threatened. Maybe insecure is the better word for it."
"And I can only assume that's because you"
By all means, do keep it up. It's unintentionally hilarious.
Re: PS5 Is Edging Out the Switch 2 in the UK So Far This Year
@RoomWithaMoose yes. And that was clear. And addressed several times. That's why they said, let's make a fairer comparison: October 2025.
"I don't know why both of you are so threatened"
Dear God, that's hilarious.

@Oram77 don't worry. Facts don't matter to them. They'll surely find a way to spin these numbers into something negative.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 606
I managed to beat Absolum yesterday and now I'm trying to figure out what's left to 100% it.
Excellent game that's perfect for co op, as long as it's not someone online who randomly quits.
Edit: also, how could I forget? The absolute time sink Vampire Survivors.

@Toot1st well there are also more ps3 users, but how many are buying ps3 games? Same with ps4.
