For me, it’s Everybody’s Golf(PS4) edition, CFB26, and Stange Brigade. Have a great weekend, everyone

As someone who considers this series my absolute favorite, I think I’ll take a wait and see approach. Last year’s release was a breath of fresh air in the stale football market- the kind of impact that few games in the series have had-‘98, 2002, 2006, and 2014.

In this article, it sounds like EA marketing speech for changes that will be hard to notice. They have done this with Madden since they bought the exclusive license back in 2004- all hype, no substance. If it doesn’t completely outshine 25, then prepare for excuses like shirt dev cycles.

I absolutely love and adore CFB 25. It plays a great, and more importantly, FUN game of football. That’s enough for me. For now.

Hopefully we’ll get the chance to play Gears of War on PS5. Love that game.

I’ll keep my eye on this.

Wonder if they will update the fighting, climbing mechanics, and control scheme.

@UltimateOtaku91 This! When I got my PS5, only the digital version was available. Even though I had a mostly digital library on my PS4 and Xbox One, I still had a disc drive and would take chances on games that I found interesting. Now, with digital only, I am very picky about what games I buy, and I usually wait for them to go on sale or be available through PS Plus.

I guess I could trade for a disc based version now that they are more available, but, in this economy, it’s hard to justify.

CFB 25 and Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered.

Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered, Astro Bot, FC25, and CFB 25 for me.

Merry Christmas!!!

For me, more CFB 25. And, in honor of Spooky Season, Batman Arkham Knight, Haunted House, and Ghostbusters the Video Game.

For me, it’s College Football 25 and maybe diving into Terminator Resistance or the Strange Brigade.

I wonder if that means we could put PS2 discs into the PS5 and play whatever we want.

@homelesscretin That is such an underrated game- gameplay, story, art style. I love to hear when people are enjoying it.

I’d like Gears of War…

Finally jumping into The Outer Worlds- Spacers’ Choice Edition. Absolutely loving the humor so far.

So, we get the PS5 version for free?? Nice!

I have always been a console player. My middle son built a gaming PC and was always talking about frame rate. I didn’t pay it too much attention.

It wasn’t until I started playing games on the higher frame rate that I noticed the difference. Now, I’m a frame rate snob. I won’t play it unless it’s at 60fps.

@LifeGirl Spot on! I sound like an old man, but I tell my kids about the PS2/Xbox era where games were just fun. The graphics were good enough, but there was always something new and exciting to play.

Games now feel stale- the same safe big budget sequels pumped out year after year.

Gears of War on PS5? Yes, please…

Would it have an updated control scheme and movement? Or, would it be a prettier version of what we already have?

Merry Christmas from Florida…

Sad. When we’re bullying the voice actors in video games, we have really reached the epitome of a entitled society.

@LifeGirl spot on! It’s criminal what has happened to my country. The government here is corrupt to the core, and lobbyists are a big reason why. Big corporations are buying influence to increase their profits at the expense of the people.

The game looks amazing! I would pay 20 to 30 for it, just to support the team.

7/10 is good enough for me to give it a shot and support these guys. It’s tough competing against the big boys. If we don’t support them, we’ll soon be left with nothing but EA, Ubisoft, and Activision.

One of my favorite all-time series. This is unfortunate.

@Dudditz09 Hahahahahahahahaha!! I was also looking at FIFA.

@Green-Bandit Thanks! I’ve bought it twice now, once on PS3 and then again on PS4. I couldn’t justify buying it again for full price on PS5. My PS5 is the digital only one, so I try to be smart with my purchases But, if the price is right, I don’t mind jumping again.

25%off The Last of Us, Part 1? What do you think, guys?

Don’t crucify me for saying this, but I never finished the 2018 version. Grad School, plus my gaming ADD, guaranteed that I would not complete the journey. That being said, do I need to go back and finish that one before I enter into this one?

So, do you need to buy the expansion to get the third person mode? I thought that it was a patch.

Gotham Knights and Arkham Knight(because it’s spooky season, and I always play it during spooky season)

When will third person mode me released? Can’t wait to play it from this perspective.

How does one access this content? I haven’t ventured very far into the game.

@BoldAndBrash Agreed. I feel like, beginning in the 360/PS3 era, there was a focus on blockbusters and sequels, instead of taking chances with new IPs, like they did in the PS2/Xbox era. Games were more fun back then.

@Chicken_Boy_1781 Most of them. They have a list of what’s available. Plus, new games have a ten hour free trial.

Wonder how that’ll work with EA Access? When PS gave away the Star Wars Squadrons game, it kept telling me that it was the 10 hour trial, not that I owned the game.

Let’s gooooooooo!!!!!!! Loved the first title!!! Can’t wait for this one.

@Uncharted2007 if I’m thinking correctly, it’s their attempt at the Oasis. It’s not going the way they thought though. I saw a report of a mom who logged on, and her avatar was cyber molested by three other players within 45 seconds of appearing.

I am a fan of the series from the PS3 days, but haven’t played a new one since ‘19. Since I haven’t touched a new game in three years, it feels very much improved. I am having a blast with it. They have added a lot since ‘19.

The problem with yearly sports games is that it’s hard to innovate year after year. It’s my favorite genre, and I’ve been playing them for 30 years now. They should be released every two to three years, with roster updates and other tweaks in between.

MLB the Show 22 and Mass Effect for me.

If you buy the game, do you need the yearly membership? Can you play without it?

@Milktastrophe Thanks! I may pick it up then.

@frankmcma Thanks! I love the setting, but just didn’t want to deal with other people messing with me.

Can you play the game solo? I don’t like playing games. Against people. Online.

MLB the Show 22. Come on Sony! You can do it!

Mutant Football League, Sniper V2, and Ace Combat- all on the PS5 for me.

All I want is for Dino Crisis to get the Resident Evil 2 treatment. Is that so much to ask?

Yeah, not cool. If this dlc was released three times six months after launch, then I have no issue with it. It gives longevity to the game. But, anything dlc day 1 SHOULD be included with the base game.

They’re not even trying to hide it anymore.

Does the price of gas affect the price? Real world availability of components, chips, or parts?
