Disappointing but unsurprising given the state of the store recently. I'm quickly losing faith in PS
Wanted to buy this and Shadow of the Colossus for the prices that THEY advertised and yet can't get the discount for this or even buy SotC at all atm in UK
These games are so frustrating. Surely it can't be that difficult to put a bit of decent writing, acting and gameplay into a series like this yet they fail every single time
I'm hoping to finish Mortal Shell 2. I've enjoyed it but do feel the end is starting to feel noticeably weaker than earlier in the game and it's starting to drag a bit
Typically this far into a generation (as was the case with PS3 & PS4), PS Plus would've been stacked with great games each month. Now they just don't need to and the more attractive games seem to just go to Extra instead for obvious reasons
Ultimately it does depend on the games mostly for me. If PS6 comes out at anywhere near £1000 or more then that's a big ask and I'm likely out
However if that was the case and they then had a Bloodborne 2 and a handful of standout exclusives or true next gen upgrades, all of a sudden I'm looking at my finances and seeing if I can maybe make it work
I started replaying Drake's Fortune the other day oddly enough. Agree it hasn't aged particularly well so would've needed a lot of fixing if they wanted to remake properly
How ridiculous is it that a company can just sit on these games and do nothing? A port of RDR2 or GTA 4 would make more money than most publishers could ever dream of, and yet Rockstar just don't need it. Quite sad
You guys know you don't have to buy or play the game if you don't want to right?
It's absolutely fair to call out scummy business practices, as this article does. But it also is what it is. Given the anticipation for this game, it could be much, much worse. Which doesn't justify anything of course, but still
It's not entirely true to say I'm not interested in a PS6, but I have by far the least interest in it than I've had in any potential next gen system in 30 years of gaming. If prices were more reasonable then sure, maybe, but even then, without standout games to make the leap worthwhile I just can't get on board. At least not for day one
I played South of Midnight when I had game pass for the odd month and enjoyed it. Would I have bought it otherwise? Possibly down the line but probably not. There are simply just too many games available
All of these games are good/decent. None of them are groundbreaking 10/10 must buys
I think it makes sense tbh. They want people constantly engaged with these services so the once or twice a month updates seems out of date. Also keeps the sub in the news cycles more often
Mine expired in April and I'm not sure I want to resubscribe anyway, this of course makes me less inclined.. I don't play online much and the PS+ essential games haven't appealed to me mostly for a long time too. Or when they do it's a game I have or would rather buy anyway
I'm enjoying Saros, but certainly have a strong feeling that I did enjoy Returnal a lot more
It's possible a lot of that is biased towards Returnal being the first game like this and that made more of an impact at the time, but I do think the weapon variety, biome diversity and story were just simply better the first time round
I wouldn't have thought I'd gone this way say 10 years ago, but I'm all digital now.
The convenience of not having to change discs and not having to find storage space is very nice for me. As someone who had a huge collection of games at one point, once I moved house a couple of times with it all you realise what a hassle it is!
Now I'm quite happy to have a digital library for emulation, and a digital library on PS as well

Re: The Wolf Among Us Remastered Hit with PS5 Upgrade Pricing Issues
Disappointing but unsurprising given the state of the store recently. I'm quickly losing faith in PS
Wanted to buy this and Shadow of the Colossus for the prices that THEY advertised and yet can't get the discount for this or even buy SotC at all atm in UK
Very disappointing, possibly even illegal
Re: GTA 6's Original Soundtrack Is Going to Be Incredible, if This Leaked Song Is Anything to Go By
Love it
Just something that Miami/80s vibe just gets me every time
Re: 50+ PS5, PS4 Games to Buy in PS Store's Planet of the Deals Sale (North America/Europe)
Looks like a few (Shadow of the Colossus) have since been delisted and removed!
Digital future woooo
Re: Poll: Are You Taking Time Off for GTA 6?
No, but I am ever so slightly annoyed as I'm off the Thursday and Friday the week before for my birthday (12th)
Will probably stay up for an hour or two on the morning and then likely play a decent amount Thursday evening then over the weekend
I'm not massively concerned about spoilers as I always kind of enjoy the community discussion around new information and story beats etc
Re: Do Not Miss This PlayStation All-Timer While It Costs Less Than a Frothy Coffee
@MFTWrecks it was the most fun I had getting a platinum in a game tbh. Such a brilliant world to just be in
Re: Poll: Would You Pay $1,000 for a PS6?
Too many variables to decide fully at this point but the way it's going I'd lean towards a heavy nope
Re: In Time for Halloween, Directive 8020 Adds Online Multiplayer in Major Update on PS5
I didn't even realise this had already come out
These games are so frustrating. Surely it can't be that difficult to put a bit of decent writing, acting and gameplay into a series like this yet they fail every single time
Re: Going Platinum: Stray Is Probably the Only Game I've Speedran for a Trophy
I never finished this game as I got lost in one of the city areas and had no idea what to do next
Enjoyed jumping around as a cat before this though
Re: GTA 6's Original Music Score Is Composed by Excellent French Electronic Duo Justice
Not typically my go to music outside of things like this but this new track is a banger indeed
Re: GTA 6 Tech Will Help Create the Next Rockstar Game, Won't Be Another 8-Year Wait

I loved Wukong so I'm absolutely down for this whenever it's out
Re: Mortal Shell 2 (PS5) - An Ingeniously Playful Take on the Dark Souls Formula
I started last night, basically just running through what I played in the beta again, but I'm really enjoying it so far
Glad to hear it mostly holds up
Re: Hyped PS5 Soulslike Mortal Shell 2 Has an Easy Difficulty Mode, But There's a Catch
Regardless of this being the news story here for some reason and the comments so far - this game is shaping up to be excellent
The beta looked and played phenomenally imo. Can't wait for next week

Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for July 2026?
Typically this far into a generation (as was the case with PS3 & PS4), PS Plus would've been stacked with great games each month. Now they just don't need to and the more attractive games seem to just go to Extra instead for obvious reasons
Another negative from this generation I'm afraid
Re: Poll: $1,000 and No Disc Drive - Is PS6 Dead on Arrival?
Ultimately it does depend on the games mostly for me. If PS6 comes out at anywhere near £1000 or more then that's a big ask and I'm likely out
However if that was the case and they then had a Bloodborne 2 and a handful of standout exclusives or true next gen upgrades, all of a sudden I'm looking at my finances and seeing if I can maybe make it work
Re: Sony Can't Stop Hinting at the Portable Nature of PS6
PS U coming soon
Re: Rumour: Naughty Dog Chose to Remake The Last of Us 1 for PS5 Instead of Uncharted 1

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2's PS5 Port May Have Been Delayed While Rockstar Focuses on GTA 6
How ridiculous is it that a company can just sit on these games and do nothing? A port of RDR2 or GTA 4 would make more money than most publishers could ever dream of, and yet Rockstar just don't need it. Quite sad

Re: You Can Upgrade to GTA 6's Ultimate Edition Whenever You Like
@Flaming_Kaiser while upgrades to digital deluxe editions etc are quite common now this wasn't always the case
I'm happy to hear this is an option personally so this article has helped me 🙂
Re: Gallery: GTA 6 Looks Phenomenal in Dozens of New PS5 Screenshots
Looks beautiful. LFG
Re: Opinion: The PS6 Cannot Come Out in This Era of $1,000+ Consoles
It's not entirely true to say I'm not interested in a PS6, but I have by far the least interest in it than I've had in any potential next gen system in 30 years of gaming.

Re: New Senua Game Reveal Used as a Way to Sell Ninja Theory to Suitors

Re: Sony 'Exploring New Ways' to Deliver PS Plus Games
I think it makes sense tbh. They want people constantly engaged with these services so the once or twice a month updates seems out of date. Also keeps the sub in the news cycles more often
Surprised they didn't do this a while ago
Re: Poll: How Would You Rate Summer Game Fest 2026?
I really liked it. Lots of announcements that got my interest, although I do wonder how far off some of them may be (Cuphead, gen Atlas, etc)
Re: God of War Laufey Is Much Closer to Releasing on PS5 Than You Think
I'm not sure I believe this at first but seeing that it can now be wishlisted on the store gives hope
