Re: PS Store Sales Charts: Xbox's Sea of Thieves Is Massive on PS5, Helldivers 2 Finally Starts to Slip

@PsBoxSwitchOwner @BacklogBrad @K1llegal I guess that might explain MS closing the studio somewhat. Hellblade 2 is very likely next. Sadly this just reinforces the live service argument when unique single player games cant hold on the a fraction of their audience but we all put hundreds of hours into repetitive gameplay loops.

Live Services (when they're good) are really the perfect game but time is limited for many of us.

@Bez87 πŸ˜… Fair point! I didnt mention it cause I thought it was Steam only. I just now read on IGN that is multiplatform so now I'm stoked! I have 3 friends who immediately said this is a day 1 for them so I'm building up my ranger team!

Re: Octopath Traveler 1 Receives PS5, PS4 Age Ratings Ahead of SGF Show

@GamingFan4Lyf Yes exactly. Apparently they made the characters interact more and there stories connect more in OT2 in response to criticism from the 1st game.

New stories would nice to experience and this is the gsme that started it all.

Yes, and I have not gone back to play FF1-6 as I'm jot sure I'd enjoy them 😢

@GamingFan4Lyf honestly I'm happy PS is finally getting OT1 but I feel it might be too little too late. I played and loved OT2 so I'm finding it hard to want to play the game that has all the "problems" that the sequel fixed. I feel like it would be taking a step back in a way if you understand what I mean. I still want to experience it but this late on from original release I feel no urgency. πŸ€·πŸΎβ€β™‚οΈ

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Live-Action Trailer Revealed

@Godot25 Good morning!

Consider this: any person who play CoD on GP at no extra cost would have paid $70 for it in any other year plus MXT. So unless that person spent $70 in GP subscriptions that month MS is still getting less money that they would otherwise.

Consider too that even is MS SAYS they "only need 2.5 mill subs in a month" (for how many months?) we all know GP isnt sustainable. Tango got closed down for making a hit with a budget that's a fraction of a CoD game. How long before GP bleeds CoD dry? Those remaining Activision exec's are not gonna sit still and watch their baby shrivel up and die.

Ms is really gonna tank the biggest franchise in gaming just to try to prove a point.

Putting it on GP will de-value it in the eyes of gamers and the profits will dip. Then when they eventually stop putting it on GP day and date they will have already trained a subset of the audience that it's not worth full price and the sales number will still be lower than before.

@Blaze215 I agree with you 100% I'm at 53hs and just to to Cosmo canyon but I just stopped engaging with everything except what's needed to progress. The mini games are getting to be too much. I too am desperately avoiding spoilers.
Sadly alot of this was in the original (didnt like it there either) so I know why it's in Rebirth but still, it's too much.

Re: Helldivers 2 Director Pushes PlayStation to Backtrack on 170 Steam Delistings

@nessisonett "Imagine if Helldivers had been removed off the PS Store in this many countries? There would rightfully be a backlash, not everything is β€˜mob rule’."

But since buying off the PS Store requires a PSN account how would those players even do it in those countries?

They likely already have PSN accounts from a different region because it's super easy to make one.
