Well I pre-ordered a copy from Japan under 50€, and it actually comes with a real disc with some actual data in this day and age. Let's compare to playstation store... 79.99€.

There you go, they'll still make enough money off of the fomo fueled streamer crowd. Man, I love games but I can't stand a large part of current gaming culture.

@Northern_munkey VGP has built a customer base as a solid provider of niche import games. The stuff that you can't pick up at Walmart. They'll do just fine as long as people see value in physical games.

Why do gamers, especially in the west, get exploited? Because they're exploitable schmucks! The steam machine selling out at that price, buying games for 70/80$€, pre-ordering digital or things which are not in limited stock, spending thousands on Disney world,... yet scoffing about paying taxes for a social system, consumer rights and regulations in the private sector.

VGP is amazing and has been my go-to for a while now, despite not even being on the same continent.

My hope is that Asia region might get a true physical edition eventually. I mean, come on, how greedy is Rockstar that they'll just sell you a code in a box. Nintendo with their game key cards sound generous in comparison.

Best news of the day, after one cash grab after the next.

Just don't, unless you want to have this be the industry standard.

@Canadadry that's a lot of guesswork

As with many of these cases, the family should determine what is disrespectful or inappropriate... not social media "warriors" who want to decorate themselves with undeserved moral authority through cheap, 2nd hand outrage.

I will pay 50€ for it, no more.

@twitchtvpat onimusha 3 HD is next! Looking forward to Jean Reno's nose in 4k crispness. And that opening cutscene from o3 is still one of the cooles cinematics in gaming history!

@Hyena_socks the anime has its moments, but I wouldn't put it on a level with cyberpunk edge runners.
I find the hd remasters make the game well playable as they add an optional modern control scheme on other quality of life improvements. Generally I don't care if I go dubbed or subbed but I'd say go subbed with these games.

It's so good to have onimusha back! Really want this to succeed. Getting myself ready by playing the hd remasters and rewatching that netflix anime.

It'll have the right price if you buy it physical and actually have options.

There'll be enough copies for everyone so what's the point? Especially puzzled about those who preorder digitally. You know, if they don't they might play the game an hour later because of DL and installation. Humanity is about as ridiculous as GTA satirises it.

Couldn't care less. First Light looks and runs fantastic on the base PS5 if you just play it rather than run it through a digital foundry lense. As long as Orange man is messing up the worlds economy there's no point in forcing a new console at a price that'll be to it's own detriment. Enthusiasts with deep pockets should not weigh in on this matter.

@pyrrhic_victory that would have been really great, personally more for Deus Ex rather than tomb raider, but all of it is great. Knowing post 2020 Sony they might have just have them make another avengers game for those elusive live service big bucks.

@AznTD they made a tripleA game like Senua on a budget and mostly made fantastic games like enslaved and DMC. Yes, lots of them flopped, but that was more bad luck, lack of exposure and toxic gamers bashing the studio relentlessly because of purists "that's not Dante!" and other petty grievances. It's funny how the overall narrative around DMC has also changed over the years and is now seen for what it was, a great game.
With Sony putting their games into the spotlight rather than game pass obscurity they could become a reliable studio that can work on a budget, which will also mitigate risks.

If Sony hadn't spent all it's spare change on bungie, Ninja Theory would fit the narrative single player portfolio.

I picked the only 5 new games I've played, so that makes it factually the best PS5 games!

@Dalamar I get you there, it's an insult to the franchise.

KCD for me. FF16 is bottom tier FF.

Good old Frank Miller story. Maybe we'll get Weapon X as a tutorial.

I'll buy pbz over GTA6 because the 2nd hand market will be overfilled with used copies of gta6 a month after release.

The dancing around that game has been really annoying.

Just doesn't look like the system seller Microsoft thinks it is. Seeing the trailer it looked good, but felt like something that's from the Xbox one days.

"I take no pleasure"... yet still churns out another cheap rage bait ai article. Of course real art is preferred, but bad journalism can be just as or even more disingenuous, even if it's "written" by a real person.

As a kid I really wanted to like the original pc/PS2 games, but felt that the stealth was oftentimes broken. Don't know if it really was that, or I just couldn't figure it out. Should have clicked though, as mgs and splinter cell were my favourite series at the time.

Don't care what the internet is saying, star wars is delivering the goods: Mando&Grogu: sweet standalone adventure, maul series: great, andor: peak, outlaws: great game hated for sport, the jedi games: great games.

These fanboys complain about anything really, f.e. "we have to move away from Skywalker's story" and when they get the Mando movie "it doesn't connect to any bigger story".

Makes sense. I mean, how would Logan's main form of transportation look like? Lunging from enemy to enemy?

Why did I know this game was made in South Korea by thumbnail image alone 🤷

Great, setting themselves up to send onimusha back to obscurity with that September release date.

@Angelus3K if you think about the pc market, then yes. Consoles on the other hand should be subsidized due to the compromise of a closed software ecosystem.

@Angelus3K buying an iPhone, or any other phone, every 2 years is highly problematic consumer behaviour.
I consider myself a tech enthusiast, but still hold on to my 300€ china phone for 5-6 years, which is now still being used by my daughter without any problems.

Anyone who's looking into x86 handhelds, I really just recommend buying a snapdragon8 phone or tablet and using pc emulators like gamenative and gamehub. It's way cheaper than any pc handheld and the performance isn't that far behind higher end handhelds and mostly on par with the steam deck.
Battery life on arm is vastly better. Put a x86 in sleep mode and pick up the day after and you'll basically have a dead device, while a phone/tablet maybe lost <5%.

We all know what bad players in the private and public sector (nowadays the same cesspool anyways) we can thank for that.

How do people keep up with warhammer games? People complain about assassin's creed, cod, star wars, marvel or final fantasy fatigue, but the got nothing on Warhammer.

If they put it all on a single ps5 Blu-ray I'll retire my PS4 launch edition disc. Even got the Gwent decks from the other 2 expansions.

Christmas, oh yeah... and forget the price hike.

Would enjoy a proper scary j Horror game.

Pushsquare is continuing it's series of positive affirmations for ps5pro users. Seriously, they should make an audio version.

Most people also play these without ever spending a penny. Yes there are exceptions, but those are people with developing brains or those with arrested development who can't be helped. Also the types of players who are able to clock in those insane times since they have zero responsibilities.

Hey, now all those who deemed outlaws as crap before even playing it can actually try it and make their own damn opinion rather than just hopping on a hate bandwagon.

One of the best open world games of the last years, but posting crap based on ill informed preconceived notions is more fun for people these days.

2006: "600$ for a console is too much!"... goes and buys a Blu-ray player for 350$ 🤦

@get2sammyb I'm not so sure about these numbers since adding plus games (base, extra and premium) count as a purchase. I receive an email stating that I've bought the game for 0€ with every plus game I add.
Take every base psplus user that adds the three monthly games to their library and then maybe buys a single physical game per month or every other month. Do you see how this considerably changes the numbers, even if that user hasn't really bought a single digital game.

This is a narrative that likes to be sold, physical is outdated and about to die. Then Sony doesn't have to mess with retailers, consumer rights and losses through a 2nd hand market. Let's not be fooled and continue to demand ownership of our purchases.

Take your time, we good

Thy will be done supreme leader @Frmknst ! We will outlaw all dubs and eradicate those that think they can escape the glorious cause!

Why are people complaining about the connection to Yakuza? It's a very different beast gameplay and setting wise. Can just as well complain then about Alan wake and control sharing the "remedy universe".

MK from 2021 was an odd one for me. For a movie bragging how "r rated" it will be, it felt like the most pg13 rated R movie ever.

Few people seem to remember the fantastic short MK rebirth and series MK legacy on machinima.

Pragmata is such a unicorn. A new game that doesn't aim to be a franchise. Made me feel like I was back in the PS2 days.

He has a good argument. There are too many games that just give you busy work or basically force you to grind to progress. Games can be long if warranted if it has a story that can sustain such a length, but must also respect the players time.

One example I can think of, Red dead redemption 1, great story, gameplay and length. Red dead 2, nice story but it didn't respect the players time. It ended up self indulgent and only offered the illusion of freedom.

Other example death stranding 1, very long and self indulgent, story all over the place and too long. Death stranding 2, perfect balance in all aspects, masterpiece.
