The whole backlash against microtransactions has been overblown. I've had the game from the start. The better you are and the more you play, the more stuff you get. That's life. What hasn't helped is the people who spend more time moaning about what didn't happen than actually playing. Modern phenomena. Sad!
While multiplayer games are undoubtedly popular, could it be the industry that wants more of them over single player games? Think about it. Single player games can be played and then sold on which the industry doesn't like. With multiplayer games you keep the game longer and resale is limited because by the time most will have finished with a game there won't be many others to go online with. Just saying
It's the modern way..... moan about a game not being EXACTLY what you want, demand changes, then when second version is released complain about that and say first game was actually OK.
I played first one to death, I shall do same with this one
Always people complaining that they already have one of the free games. Well as they're old games some people will have already bought them. Personally, I haven't got round to getting Second Son so I'd be well chuffed 👍
Businesses exist to make money. Businesses with shareholders have extra pressure to make money. That's capitalism. If they'd put the price up a little each year or two no one would be moaning but we'd be paying even more. It's a shame Sony didn't offer a reason or say there'd be more benefit. But hey. I dare say most of those moaning will stay pay For me? I'll buy a year before the increase and stack it. I'll get 16 months before the increase that way
I don't doubt that the Pro makes a difference but it's still the price of a new console for an updated version. And like others here I'm worried that developers will blame performance issues on the lower spec machines. This is what put me off PC gaming many years ago. @get2sammyb I'd also like to ask how you will review games now.
I've always thought the reason that Nintendo's handhelds sell better than Sony is that the former are chunky, quite utilitarian devices you don't mind taking out with you and chucking in a bag. The PSP and Vita are gorgeous devices you want to look after. And, therefore, don't use away from home. So I wonder if this more stylish Nintendo device will work quite as well as the mobile device it's being pushed as.
Hasn't every game ever been misrepresented lol Never read the back of a box and saw "don't bother. It's rubbish" or "not a bad game but there's some flaws we couldn't fix"
I keep bigging this game up. Love it. More fun than more competitive multiplayers. Wasn't keen on paying for the dlc but I don't regret it now. Worth it as far as I'm concerned for the amount I've played it.
I used to love Guitar Hero. Great fun and one up on air guitar. But now the technology can let me plug my real guitar in and use Rocksmith there's no going back for me
@Neolit My real point is there is too much negativity going on around this hobby. We can't expect every service to be available 100% of the time. Sony responded. Let's be happy about that.
I'm in UK and got mine evening of the 15th. Nice gesture from Sony. They didn't have to do it. Have I ever got anything when my electricity supply has been interrupted? No. How about when my TV, broadband or mobile service goes down? Mmmm? Sometimes if I've made a fuss. I bet those who complain about it "only being a day" won't refuse to take it lol
Not a big fan of multiplayer but am a big Star Wars fan. I LOVE it Not missing a single player campaign. They always get criticised in games which are mostly for multiplayer anyway. Season pass is pricey but I'll either buy individually as and when I can afford it or wait for a deal. So much negativity for every game released these days it seems but it's fun, no issues with servers and Dice have done an excellent job of making the game feel like Star Wars.
@Patinator I enjoyed it too. And I don't normally get on with online shooters. I'm looking forward to the full version. As for the balance issue in Walker Assault. Why should it be equal? Why not have a slim chance of winning? It's as it was in the film and you swap sides anyway.
@jess1963 how much refund will you get back for a few days loss of service? Sure it would cost Sony a lot if we all did it but that's what Lizard Squad want. They want us all moaning and Sony to lose out. Don't play in to their hands. Stand up to these annoying childish idiots.
I have this and the original Rocksmith on PS3 and think it's fantastic. Unlike lessons and other teaching aids you can do whatever you like so there's no getting bored because you MUST do scales today or MUST get a chord right. And unlike a game such as Guitar Hero you don't get thrown out of a song if you don't do well enough. Can't recommend this highly enough for anyone wanting to learn to play.

Re: Poll: Do You Think Single Player Games Are Really In Danger of Dying Out?

Re: Star Wars Battlefront's Final DLC Will Be Rogue One Themed
I keep bigging this game up.
Love it.
More fun than more competitive multiplayers.

Re: Some UK Schools Are Cracking Down on Children Playing More Mature Games

Re: PSN Offline for Second Day as Attackers Bring Servers Down

As for Sony/Microsoft making money. Dur! They aren't charities.
