@LikelySatan yea but once you ‘own’ the game you always do. Sadly Horizon 4 is delisted but Xbox offered it to me for £8 for the ultimate edition as it was in my GamePass library for years. CDKeys still have plenty of Xbox Anywhere codes FYI.
But yes it will be delisted unless MS renew licences.

@MrPeanutbutterz 100%. The ‘no disc no buy’ posts on every single comments section especially on Xbox ports have become tedious and nothing to do with the actual games.
This poll is about who is playing Forza and clearly lots of people are and loving it. It’s a masterpiece of a racer and I am so pleased PS players are now playing it too.

@Dampsponge I mean you are probably right but it’s still been released, it’s still out.

@Dampsponge it’s literally out now mate on the store.

@Silenos 😂😂😂

@gomersoul selling for less logically makes sense to sell more copies of course…
It’s an old game but brand new on PS5 and it’s a AAA banger so Microsoft would be insane not to charge new AAA money.

Heresy on here I suspect, but I find GT7 a little bland, a bit sterile. Menus remind me of Pro Evolution Soccer…
Be interesting to see if Forza Motorsport would do numbers on PS5 as a direct competitor… it’s absolute rubbish on PC!

I still think Microsoft has backed itself into a corner with GamePass. Great value. Too great a value. Promising everything including big expensive AAA day one is insane. I do think a more ‘core’ or curated experience of some games for a set fee would have better whilst still selling the Crown Jewels for top money. Could drop the odd, older AAA in and out on rotation too.
I’m no businessman so it’s just my opinion. PS users are buying Microsoft games so perhaps helps prove my uneducated opinion a little!
They are producing so many games and leaving money on the table as I don’t think number of subs is rising? So what are Microsoft getting for putting more and more multi million pound games on the service? Not a lot.

@reddevilcat you are spot-on bruv imo.

@Shrek_Realista ‘ What a game needs to get a 9 or 10 in this site?’

A Naughty Dog label. 😂

😜

@Dodoo does read like it’s digital only doesn’t it? Would it be the first, first party Somy game to go digital only if the case? I genuinely don’t know btw.

@Cerny yeah bit of a basic (but not bad) review. No mention of DualSense or Pro features. No real mention of character customisation, properties to be purchased and the real good soundtrack actually via the radio stations and DJs.

@Rich33 I don’t think it’s overwhelming at all tbh. It’s full of content for your money and a very casual game. You can lazily travel the map and do things or don’t do things. Really chill if that is what you want.

@DennisReynolds basically the same albeit I prefer FH4 and have both on PC (after selling XSX.) I double dipped on pre order.

@Toot1st 100% it’s a 10/10 game.

Still seems surreal it’s turned up on PlayStation. As it is an Xbox game I expect the usual negative comments for the sake of it such as ‘no disc no buy’ blah blah. Truth is it’s a remarkable game which will hit hard with the casual gamer and sell bucketloads.

I can see as an Xbox console user it sucks to see the Crown Jewels go full slate but lots of wonderful games are going out to more people.

Crew and NFS are good but Horizon is wonderful. 😁

Who knew that customers are interested in good quality single player first party experiences…

Playing through original Ghost now so hopefully the sequel will change it up enough to warrant me getting it.

@GirlVersusGame thank you

@GirlVersusGame probably not but tell me more!

Any spiders in this game? Hate them!

@dark_knightmare2 excellent. I love it too. I played on GamePass PC for fre… um, a sub, for money. Bought it for the PS5. Very very happy. I thought the review here was good but disagree the gameplay is weak. A bit basic maybe but not weak but everyone has different opinions. Hope it sells well and we get a sequel.

This poll is missing the PushSquare Indiana Jones & The Great Circle comments section obligatory answers …

• No disc, no buy.
• No third person, no buy.

No. Just no. It’s obvious that no one wants this. I fear for Marathon too.

If Concord was a sprint finish that lasted a week, Marathon might be a, um, marathon if it lasts a month.

@EfYI do you think Xbox made a mistake promising every Microsoft game ‘day 1?’
I can’t help but think that having a selection of games on GP would be better than putting everything they own on there for no extra cost. Seems insane to me from a business point of view. Surely the more they put on without numbers rising much is just losing more and more money?
I still can’t figure out if the ABK acquisition has killed Xbox or made Microsoft gaming better (for non Xbox console players.)

It is rare I spend £70 on a game… funnily enough I’ve bought Indy and Forza H5…
I’m more of a CD Keys £5-£10 a game merchant. 😂 PC is great value.

@thefourfoldroot1 fair. Not happy with the game?

@thefourfoldroot1 ?

@old_gamer74 no you won’t.

@EfYI to be fair, for most people Game Pass isn’t free. It’s a sub which costs money. Great value but I am not sure how sustainable it is. I don’t think it is and the concern is that gamers expect a lot for not a lot.
£70 is a lot of money. But like most art, some will be happy and some won’t. Games can cost millions to make and hopefully with a lot of love and passion gone into it. For me, this is one of those games and I will and am paying £70 day 1. It’s expensive but I will get my money’s worth over and over.
I get most games on sale or cheap especially on PC and PS Store do good deals. That is the market.
I don’t see it an issue of fairness but of value. It’s a first world hobby but of course there is a balance. Customers need to be able to afford the products otherwise no one will buy.
Life does seem to be getting more expensive though!

@DennisReynolds the game is excellent mate. Works very well in first person. I’ve played/rented on Game Pass PC and despite having a reasonable PC there are some optimisation issues so I am happy to buy for PS5. 4K/60fps on Pro appears to be the Holy Grail or Black Magic as you say.
I don’t agree that gameplay is weak at all. It’s a 10/10 from me and I am hard to please. It was like me playing Batman Arkham or Spider-man for the first time. I knew it was special.
I can’t say enough good about this game especially if one is a huge Indy fan like I am.
The on or not on disc or lack of real physical edition is an argument done to death over a dozen articles at this point. I just want to talk about and praise THE GAME.
£70 day 1 - I still chose wisely.

Ark de triumph

Indiana Jones and the Half Circle!

@Slideaway1983 I agree. Servers aren’t particularly green and gaming in general isnt. I’m just saying that shipping discs and plastic all over the world when one can just download the thing seems to me to make the most sense. Also, I absolutely hate this Frankenstein option of a box and a code or empty disc inside. Just insane. Do the whole game or go digital with the release!

There is a green element here… a disc that is just a key and all the plastic box etc is a complete waste of resources and the shipping element.
All digital makes sense for many reasons. I don’t dispute others like to collect and ‘own’ games but that day has gone if we are being honest.
I moved all digital this gen due to Series S and have never looked back.

Sorry to say it looks terrible. Arguably worse than Concord.

Ghost of Tshushima. Hurtling towards Act 3 in and around work, kids and real life.

Microsoft chose… wisely. Will sell bucket loads.

@Mostik I’ve a Steam Deck and it’s great for handheld for certain console-like games that aren’t too demanding or older AAA. I wouldn’t recommend TV play as it’s not like a Switch. There is no performance boost. Resolution and performance is very poor on TV imo. It’s fine as a basic desktop Linux PC but not for gaming.

I’m hoping Indy gets a PS5 Pro patch… I ended up biting the bullet and trading my old model for one… even though I swore I wouldn’t…

@Mostik I’ve played it on PC GP but not overly happy with how it runs so have bought on PS5. It’s a fantastic game anyway and I’m a huge Indy fan.

@Mostik physical seems to be on the way out? I’ve moved to purely digital now and PC has been that way for years. To be honest I’m glad not to have so much clutter in the house and have a library that will follow me. I’ve never been a collector though and just see discs as a means to an end and I find digital better as more convenient to buy and play. Once the game plays it makes little difference either way.

P-Day.

Just need Halo to make the jump.

@Mostik why?

Halo Infinite on PS5 would be welcome. Increase that player count!

The Microsoft showcases are becoming very good.

lol. I mean what is there to say? No one likes paying more.

Don’t these CEO types talk absolute corporate garbage.

Hope people keep their jobs.

Assassins Greed.

Amen to that. Cyberpunk is a real success story.

Seriously, why all the hate for this game? It’s just a video game. Probably a good video game by the looks of it. But just a game.

@Ainu20 crazy but cool AF

@IOI I know. Seems crazy how much Microsoft are pushing the PlayStation version over its own software. Shows where Xbox is at.

@graymamba I agree. I wasn’t sold on the Pro at all especially for the cost and the upgraded grass on the reveal video… but looking at AC I think you are spot on… the games that come out built for Pro will define it. Is it worth pulling the trigger on a Pro? Have you got one?

I don’t understand the hate for this game and does it matter if every Japanese person loves or hates it? It’s a game. It’s entertainment. It’s looks great, seems to be selling well and the media seem to love it and give it a lot of air time. AC is always a great time. A franchise a lot of gamers would miss it if it disappeared.

@Americansamurai1 it’s unbelievable. Best in class in terms of open world racer. 10/10.
Still seems surreal it’s hitting PlayStation.

@HammerKirby3 CDkeys is very reliable. Been using for years with zero issues. Can buy full PC/Xbox games and gift cards for all the platforms at decent discounts. Sometimes 13% off.
My guess on PS6 will be optional disc drive to play previous gen games but virtually all new PS6 games will be digital only barring the odd one.

I’m looking forward to Indy on the PS5. I’ve got it through GP on PC (Xbox) but I don’t rate the optimisation… my PC is pretty good though. I’m hoping an optimised console may actually be better here. As people have said, it’s more an adventure stealth game with some action rather than all action but I love it. Masterpiece I would say.
