@MetalGear_Yoshi Right. That’s the most unsettling part. Don’t think gamers are asking anything unreasonable. Especially with all the hype behind it.

@lazarus11 I loved brotherhood of the wolf. Great film. Will rewatch soon.

Article calling 35+ people as old really puts things into perspective. I am 43 and don’t consider myself old.

@Olmaz I do not think that is an option. But while questing away from towns I rarely met more than one or two players. You can easily lose yourself in exploration and forgetting it is a MP game.

@Olmaz I played ESO mainly as a single player game and loved it. There are certain areas or activities suited for PvE multiplayer, but if you wish to stick to storyline and main side-quests it plays wonderfully fine. Game mechanics are forgiving and levelling up can be fun. Quests can include stealth elements and lots of talking with NPCs (all voiced).

Admittedly, I am not big on multiplayer games so I never even attempted the parts where you need to team-up. I wanted something like Skyrim and it did not disappoint. I met other players who were at much higher level than mine and it was not possible to reach that level without multiplayer grinding.

While towns are filled with NPCs you will find other players crowding crafting stations and on same quest as yours so the atmosphere may not be totally single-player, but as long as you can look past that, it can be rewarding elder scrolls experience.

I had a lot of fun with ESO few years ago on PS4 Pro. I also subscribed to their separate online subscription for a few months. They offer yearly expansions which add new regions (like Morrowind, High Isles etc.) and Gold Road includes everything until 2024. The ESO currently on sale includes 2025 content pack too. But if you are just beginning, Gold Pack offers a lot of stuff to keep you happy for months.

@get2sammyb while superficially it may seems like change of times, there’s very specific targeted science behind this all. Large social networks have employed psychology to hijack attention. Gaming on the other hand is still grey area for psychologists. Some games, with short reward loops employ same psychology as apps. So even among gaming population there might seismic shift towards games which work same as apps. For example, in open world games, dotted with question marks, I have to be especially careful if my dopamine baseline is being hijacked. Neurodivergent people are highly susceptible to this. Thankfully, AI has rescued me more than once. Like I recently quit assassin’s creed shadows to more slow paced KCD1.

@johncalmc attention and focus are serious commodities in modern times. Those who can still control their minds to slow down whenever they want, hold great power.

I wish I could play it. I absolutely love period settings, and RPGs, but this is simply beyond my skill level. Bought the original PS4 version shortly after it was released and fell in love with its art style. Put in lots of hours before giving up. I hope they add some accessibility options for likes of me. 🥲

@Member_the_game A very low-key promotion. Advertised as 35% off in my region (ends 26th Feb). Unfortunately, won't allow stacking.

@PuppetMaster I do see the collection on discount here in India store so it might be a temporary glitch. Although the offer appears to be specific to PS Plus subscribers

@get2sammyb Should have had OLED to begin with. With HDR being integral part of modern media consumption , a standard edge lit IPS is now barely baseline. Perhaps costs held them back, or they wanted to set 'anchor' price among customers with first iteration since it was practically a new category. Seeing people are more than willing to pay for such a device, there are a lot of bells and whistles which can now be added. Although I wonder if they will first launch 400nits units and then bump up peak brightness in another iteration later. Note: I do not own a Portal.

Merry Christmas 🎄 everyone from India!

@anon_pel222 Yup! Finally Lara is coming back to India!

@Decimateh-xblz still remember pulling an all-nighter with my mate at his house playing Parasite Eve 2. We absolutely adored RE series and PE2 was amazing. Back then, RE formula felt like the best way to experience games.

As a side note, my PS1 story is quite different from most of the comments here. Where I live, PS3 was the first console officially launched. But that did not stopped us from getting PS1 and PS2. Although my world was definitely very very different.

Showing 100% off, here in India too. Added it, though not big on racing games.

Total surprise! I got notification from WhatsApp PlayStation community a minute ago, and for a moment I thought I missed some news article mentioning this as part of PS Extra. To double check, opened PushSquare and found this article.

Almost bought Spiderman remastered in last sale. That, with RE2 and Nemesis, makes up for a great month for me!

"A trip down memory lane..." is no small reason. For some people, this can be gold. Can't wait to boot these tonight after work.

I have been waiting for RE2 and RE3 for sake of nostalgia. My PS1 era game collection was limited and RE games stand out for introducing me to a whole new genre (SH1 upped the ante considerably though). Coming from Sega Genesis it was a huge leap both cinematically and in narrative storytelling. RE2 music still transports me to a different era. 🙂

Last time I heard Clive barker’s name with a single player game was during Undying and it was a mighty good game! Fingers crossed 🤞 for this one.

If only we had few more fellow Indians on PushSquare, the comment section would have exploded! I am not a Bollywood fan but good for Vidyut. While not a gaming crazy nation, many Indians who grew up in the 90s like me, Street Fighter would definitely ring a bell. I remember long hours with neighborhood kids slugging it out in PvP during summer vacations. And having a local lad in live action Street Fighter sounds as crazy as using yoga for combat!

@Dan12836666 For a moment, it made me envious

Never downloaded the trial. Says, 'Not available for purchase'. And changing the version does not works - at least in the app. Hopefully, as someone mentioned in another thread, it might work if redeemed via PS5. Will try later this evening.

@Lotan52 That’s a relief! I was not able to add Diablo via app and thought something was wrong with my account. Then I saw messages of other members here and it appeared widespread issue. I am still at work, and hopefully will be able to claim it via PS5 once back home.

I could hardly care less. Reason? It wasn’t available in my region to begin with. Can’t lose what I don’t have.

@OldGamer999 maybe budget-minded gamers are a minority. Maybe those who voice their opinions are also a minority. 🙂

@GirlVersusGame I guess, instead of raising prices, big corporations should offer discounted prices in countries where’s people face other financial challenges (with long term benefits in mind). Here in India, where average income is even lower, a lot of companies have India specific monthly subscription plans. For example Apple subscriptions are really cheap in comparison to first world countries. Btw, I paid approx US$58 equivalent for my PS Plus Deluxe this year.

In Reddit prediction thread Robocop was the most mentioned game. It felt like it was almost inevitable. That’s why I didn’t picked it up in the sale few weeks ago. Wanted to try it but only if or when it arrived on plus. A guy there also predicted Texas chainsaw.

@trev666 I might be be one of the people you just described. While I do not actively hate it, the limited time I spent with it didn’t gave me that Fallout kick I was craving for after Fallout 4. I have sunk countless hours in Elder Scrolls Online (playing solo) and it felt just the thing to scratch my elder scrolls itch. Maybe it set my expectations with Fallout 76 differently. I do hope I can dive in sometime in future and realise how wrong I was.

Sorry for the English, not my first language 😀

Didn't melt my mind 🙃 Nothing that I need is on sale here. Although still thinking about Outlaws, the deal of the week ending soon.

There are quite a few varieties of Naan here in India, and a restaurant dinner is invariably incomplete without one.

Finally! Can’t wait to boot DA tonight!

@AK4tywill words to live by. Although mind being what it is, wanders around. I let my PS Plus sub expire for a month and truly had wonderful time with limited catalogue I was left with. I guess human mind is not made to handle so many choices.

I loved all the past DA games, and Veilguard was always on my list. I was holding on to my PS Wallet balance for DA:V to go on sale, and this month turned out to be pretty big surprise. Totally unexpected, if I may. It has only raised the expectations for PS Premium offerings coming up later this month!

I wish there was a PS Plus Premium trial for DA (I know there’s one if you have EA Play). I recently finished DD2 and don’t want to start a new game just for the weekend. Can’t wait to sink my teeth into DA:V and a trial would have been proper head start. Character creator is more like a teaser.

@EfYI Well the official word is, it's something to do with regulatory compliance regarding WiFi 7 module in PS5 Pro. Not sure how long before we can get a hand on it, but it's frustrating.

I have fond memories of playing Gex on ps1. Will look forward to these being added to PS Plus Premium one day

Perhaps Sony can start by releasing PS5 Pro here 😕

And guys, don’t forget it’s Essential lineup. So these games aren’t leaving PS Plus unless you do. If anything, I would have expected DA to be part of Extra. This is super month!

I resubscribed PS Plus this month after much thinking. And now I think it was totally worth it since I was pretty sure I was going to buy Veilguard next from the store. Never expected this with all the general emotions that PS Plus was going downhill every month.

What a surprise!!!

I see the offer too, here in India. Allowed my sub to expire in December and so far haven't regretted it. But in two minds right now since Sony offers discounted PS Plus only once or twice a year.

@Fiendish-Beaver wow, 61! Respect 🫡

Capcom announces Devil May Cry 1 Remake.

Saw the images and clips on NYTimes. Looks terrible for anyone living in that area. Prayers for all those affected. Hope that things get under control soon and no more lives are affected…

@ShogunRok Missing the option 'PS Stars is not available in my region.' Therefore, falling back to option 'Nope, I don't care about it'.

@Romans12 Surely with all the new tech at their disposal one would think they should come out sooner, but alas, productivity is no substitute for creativity.

@Lukedfrt that was at launch. Later, IIRC there was a 12GB version. That’s the one I got. Thankfully not all games required installing on HDD. MGS4 ate good 4GB of it.

10/10! Yay…and no guesses. Being old has its perks. Still remember when I first bought dual stick for my PS1.

@__jamiie oh, never owned a GameCube. But would have loved to own one back in the day.
