Wait a second, didn't you guys publish an article a while back stating that Dragon Age sales were keeping pace with Dragon's Dogma 2 and Rebirth? Now you're saying it sold less than those two? Which is it?

Disappointed Dragon Age players going back to this to get their fantasy fix.

It's kind of weird that whenever a game gets a big update, Like San Andreas, it is soon pulled from the subscription service.

@Voltan
Premium is for the beta test. There's always the possibility that lower tiers and possibly even your gaming library could be streamable on the cloud eventually. At least, if Sony were smart this is where they'd go next.

So you don't need a PS5 to do this cloud streaming thing right? If you have a decent connection and don't care about the occasional lag, wouldn't this eventually make it a budget handheld PS5 as more games are added??

@saffeqwe
Hmm not sure since I haven't even played lost judgement yet...I'm fairly certain that it had left the service previously though...

I really don't think Sony having an even bigger monopoly over the anime industry is a good idea.

Judgement was on the subscription, then left. Then returned and is now leaving again. I know this is the case because I remember I had to scramble to finish the game the first time it was leaving the sub. I guess Sony "rents" out these games for a period of time and if they decide it was worth it to have them on, they rent them out again. Putting this thought into practice, we can likely predict which games will return to the service at some point in the future and which ones are leaving permanently.

To add to it, I feel as if a previous winner should not be nominated again. Elden Ring already won GoTY once.

I've still got my copies of Resistance so I'd rather play there rather than streaming.

I'm actually thinking I might finally get a steam deck this year and I'm hoping there's some good black Friday discounts on it.

@MeanBeanEgg
Yeah, ok.

@MeanBeanEgg
They're afraid of strong men and sexy women.

Anything to ensure they can exclude Black Myth: Wukong

Seems to me that they're ready to take the L with this one. Even if it turns out to be good the court of public opinion has already ruled against it at every turn.

@Hitoshura25
From what I've seen of the community, no.They even get upset when games have difficult or time consuming trophies, instead going out of their way to play stuff like Cars or Hannah Montana just for the gongs.

Doesn't look like it's ever worth buying Like A Dragon games since they always wind up on the service.

Unlock new characters? Are they adding Gacha to this? Will I have to hope and pray I pull an S rank Heavy Bowgun character with optimal skills and stats?

If devs fail to see why it didn't work they'll keep making the same mistakes and losing tons of money/getting studios shut down.

@VeldinX
Just seems like a lazy cash grab attempt from a publisher that can obviously do much better. It's honestly better to play the original with mods instead of this "definitive" version.

what an interesting X account...

They should have just released the original PS2 versions.

With how much this game was advertised it seems like a poor showing to me. Even my android TV, which usually only advertises huge stuff like Call of Duty, had a banner for Veilguard. Getting numbers comparable to the niche darling Dragon's Dogma 2 probably isn't what EA was hoping for.

@Bunchesopuppies
This is Blizzard, not Bethesda.

A new board to keep players coming back? For free?? What a novel concept.

Deserved. I hope they're forced to sit on a bunch of stock and eat a huge loss.

I wonder why Qunari were only chosen 11% of the time?

I'm gonna hold out for black Friday, probably just pick up another year of extra or something. I have a nasty habit of buying a game on sale only for it to be added to the sub like a month or two later.

@kevinm360
I'm tempted to agree with you but how long could a poorly written review bomb really take? Probably less time than it took for us to read an article about review bombing and then commenting in it. Maybe I don't have enough problems in my life either...

I absolutely loved how easy it was to start playing with other people, regardless of the platform they play on. Obviously performance sucked a bit but hopefully Capcom will get that sorted by the time the game is ready to ship. I am definitely buying this one because I know I'm going to get hundreds of hours out of it. Even at $70 this won't be a rip-off purchase that I'll only spend like 20 hours on.

Stop 👏 Remastering 👏 Everything 👏

A bit disingenuous not to compare it to other big single player releases is it not? I mean mass effect was basically a port and Anthem was straight up terrible. Sure it did decently for a Bioware game but Bioware haven't been doing all too hot lately and more importantly will 70k satisfy the money hungry execs at EA?

This is actually a good fit for Death Note. At least its not another arena fighter.

I wanted to turn it off but your Palico says important things to you and I don't want to take my eyes off the fight to read that it's bringing over a heal or cleanse or that it's getting ready to attack.

I played it and beat all 4(?) monsters. Not sure if there are any more hidden away but I'm pretty convinced I'll enjoy it now. I played Rise on the switch so I guess I'm just used to how bad everything looks.

Normally I prefer to know every monster's weakness before facing them and kitting myself out appropriately but you obviously can't do that with only one weapon so I kind of struggled but I did solo 3 of them. I can probably solo the 4th too but honestly I don't mind having a team for that one.

@HonestHick
On the plus side it's free on Xbox. The con is that you have to play it on Xbox.

At first I thought it was the usual suspects coming in hating the game for the themes that they don't like but I was surprised to find out that the hate and vitriol is coming from their own community. I guess it's all two sides of the same coin.

Might just get back into 7 days to die but honestly the monster hunter beta will probably rob most of my time for horror games.

Heh, I get to play early and seem cool as I carry my friends. They'll never know I actually suck at these kinds of games!

I also encourage everyone to check out Fextralife's most recent video regarding reviews for this game. You'll notice an interesting trend!

@Maubari
I don't think people were saying it was going to be a terrible game mechanics-wise. The complaints seem to be on the aesthetics. Just look at Concord, it wasn't a bad game mechanics wise...it just wasn't pretty to look at. Let's also take a look at the first descendant which push square didn't like...and still did incredibly well. Sometimes a game's look is all it needs to be successful and the popular consensus seems to be that people just don't enjoy this one's look.

@TruestoryYep
But how many people play through the games without delving into the side content? Without exploring Kamurocho? At certain points the game even forces you to at least play through the tutorials of the side missions, so you are introduced to them. They seem purpose placed to take some of that edge off. A good formula for the Yakuza show would be a few episodes of gritty serious story...and then an episode where Majima tries to help a hostess club reach #1 or something. Then again I guess it would be kind of weird to translate to tv...I dunno, I think I'll just play a Yakuza game instead.

It feels like someone tried to explain the premise of Yakuza to some suits and said suits said "ew no that's much too whimsical. We need a gritty violent crime show, totally original idea."

@Dalamar
My strategy is to not bother pulling for engines. I go for the character and once I get them I start saving for the next character. The A rank gear is still plenty strong for me.

@TicklefistCP
Women like hot guys just as much as men like hot girls. Hoyo likes money so...hot guys and hot girls.

Everyone is just tired of pretending like Shadow wasn't super cool all along. Every Goku needs a Vegeta

I remember being really confused when I saw that Chucky trailer for Roblox. This game has always seem like it's just for kids but I guess the investors wanted to chase that Fortnite money. What greed does to people...

I've seriously been unable to even load the app anymore. It instantly crashes and even uninstalling hasn't fixed it.

I can't even open the PlayStation app. It keeps crashing.
