People can keep parroting the same over exaggerated excuses as to why this game failed, like character and art design. But it’s much bigger than that. This game had a target on its back and people looking for it to fail the moment it was announced.
The quality still isn’t what it used to be which I’ll continue to point out. But that said I’m very happy with this month’s selection on both extra and premium.
The character design being this games downfall is so over exaggerated. This game has had a target on its back the moment it was announced before we even knew what the characters would look like.
There were a couple great announcements, but overall it was another pretty lame show in my opinion. Mafia: The Old Country and Indiana Jones coming to PS5 are probably my highlights. Indie wise I’m very excited to see more of Reanimal. Directive 8020 looks awesome as well, but I didn’t actually see it announced while watching the show for some reason but just saw it posted online.
The fact the developers have said they had to scale back the game to compensate for the Xbox Series S has really tarnished my hype for this one. Looking forward to seeing more though
I really enjoyed TP Hospital but haven’t tried Campus yet. Museum setting sounds far more appealing than the two previous games so I’m very excited to give this a go.
Whose fault is that? As the saying goes buyer beware. Think of all the games we could have gotten for 3 billion dollars from studios like Ember Labs, Supermassive, Quantic Dream, etc. Everyone knew it was a bone headed acquisition the day it was announced.
@Kidfunkadelic83 Assuming you meant Planet Zoo, if so, in my experience it is much more about creating things from scratch than Planet Coaster. If you’re on Reddit, I found the Planet Coaster subreddit immensely helpful in learning how to play better
@LikelySatan that’s definitely exaggerated, but the grind and micro transactions are both predatory af. For example, Agent Smith. No normal person will accomplish the tasks required to unlock him for free. So the grind is technically a ruse to make you think you can get him for free by just playing the game.
I’m gonna stick with it for a bit, but somehow the game feels cheaper and less polished than it did in beta. Also not happy about the gold I saved for new characters being taken away without some type of compensation in return. The new stages are cool though, and I like the addition of Jason and Agent Smith. I’m excited to see who gets revealed next, I just hope they don’t flood us with more DC characters.
@Americansamurai1 Sony doesn’t own the IP for a fighter, especially a platform fighter like this one. BUT they will if they the rumored acquisition of Paramount goes through.
Absolutely not. Feels like all there’s been is games from Square Enix and other eastern studios. Which normally would be great but has had a negative effect on my interest in things like Final Fantasy and even Death Stranding 2. I miss the days of getting stuff like Detroit Become Human, Order 1886, and Until Dawn.
Yawn. Honestly think the lack of new IP from their internal teams is actually making me less interested in the franchises and sequels I was once in love with. Even the rumors of GoT 2 being announced soon isn’t really doing it for me.
Still haven’t seen any justification for the price increase. We’ve actually been getting significantly less games the last few months than we were before. I also feel like the games that they have been offering have been of lesser quality as well.
Honestly pathetic. Seems like they’ve announced more cancelled games than they’ve actually released the last two years and for good measure let’s add an entire studio closure on top.
Totally fine with this since I’ll be playing Helldivers 2 instead anyways. But I’m curious why any game would release without a platinum in the first place. Even if niche, trophy hunters are very much a thing. Including a platinum would have absolutely resulted with more players especially releasing on PS+

Just got home from GameStop with my copy!
Re: Scalpers Want $10k to Try to Buy You a 30th Anniversary PS5 Pro
Sony should seriously sell those things based off player level and account activity. Give people with over 100 platinum’s first dibs and so forth.

Unfortunately the more I see of this game the less interested I’ve become. Hoping it reviews well.

Re: Poll: Are You Hyped for Gamescom 2024?
I appreciate what Geoff tries to do. But it’s been years and he’s yet to put on a single show I’d consider good.
Re: Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Delayed to February 2025 Ahead of Gamescom Blowout
The fact the developers have said they had to scale back the game to compensate for the Xbox Series S has really tarnished my hype for this one. Looking forward to seeing more though
Re: SEGA Announces Two Point Museum for PS5
I really enjoyed TP Hospital but haven’t tried Campus yet. Museum setting sounds far more appealing than the two previous games so I’m very excited to give this a go.
Re: Halloween, Ash vs. Evil Dead Getting 16-Bit Platformers, Launching This October
Both look cool but I personally have zero interest in another platformer currently. Maybe in October I’ll feel different though

Re: Poll: Are You Playing Tomba! Special Edition?
I bought it but haven’t started it yet. Also picked up Thank Goodness You’re Here. Gonna be a solid weekend me thinks

Would love a Mega Man game in the same vein of a Ratchet and Clank game
Re: Xbox Console Exclusive Party Animals Will Soon Arrive Fashionably Late on PlayStation
Looking forward to this. This was low key one of the few games I was actually jealous that it was exclusive.

Re: Planet Coaster 2 Adds Water Parks in PS5 Sequel Out This Year
Surprised it’s releasing this year since Planet Zoo just came out a few months ago. But this’ll be another day one buy regardless. Can’t wait.

I have a strong feeling that they either won’t offer or I won’t have enough points to redeem
that 20$ gift card anymore
Re: Sony Game LEGO Horizon Adventures Reveals Footage in Nintendo Direct
@VaultGuy415 still more powerful than a switch.
Re: Sony Game LEGO Horizon Adventures Reveals Footage in Nintendo Direct
Absolutely trash that this game is releasing on the Nintendo switch but not the PS4. Skipping it for that reason alone.
Re: Inventive PS2 Horror The Thing May Infect PS5, PS4
Gahh I still have my PS2 copy from when I was a kid. Absolutely day one buy for me.

Re: MultiVersus (PS5) - Fun Free-to-Play Fighter Is Finally Fit for Purpose
Definitely a generous review in my opinion.
Re: MultiVersus Makes a Grand Return with Over 114,000 Concurrent Players on Steam
I’m gonna stick with it for a bit, but somehow the game feels cheaper and less polished than it did in beta.

Re: Soapbox: Once a PS4 Console Exclusive, PS5 Players Are Missing a Visual Stunner in Hellblade 2
This is actually a pretty pathetic article coming from you guys.
Re: Agent Smith, Jason Voorhees Revealed in MultiVersus Cinematic Launch Trailer
@Americansamurai1 Sony doesn’t own the IP for a fighter, especially a platform fighter like this one. BUT they will if they the rumored acquisition of Paramount goes through.
Re: Talking Point: Have Sony's Third-Party PS5 Deals Made Up for Its Lack of First-Party Games?
Absolutely not. Feels like all there’s been is games from Square Enix and other eastern studios. Which normally would be great but has had a negative effect on my interest in things like Final Fantasy and even Death Stranding 2. I miss the days of getting stuff like Detroit Become Human, Order 1886, and Until Dawn.

Such a delusional take.

Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for March 2024?
Still haven’t seen any justification for the price increase. We’ve actually been getting significantly less games the last few months than we were before. I also feel like the games that they have been offering have been of lesser quality as well.
Re: Unannounced Games from PlayStation Studios Have Been Cancelled
Honestly pathetic. Seems like they’ve announced more cancelled games than they’ve actually released the last two years and for good measure let’s add an entire studio closure on top.
Re: Layoffs Hit Until Dawn, Dark Pictures Dev Supermassive Games, 90 People Affected

Re: Xbox Games Hi-Fi Rush, Sea of Thieves, Pentiment, Grounded All Confirmed for PS5, PS4
Hoping they include platinum trophies. Also it’s pretty cool to see a Rare game release on PlayStation for I think the first time
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for February 2024?
Both quantity and quality has been slipping since the price increase imo.
Re: Foamstars Is Another PS5 Game Not Bothering with a Platinum Trophy

Re: Rumour: Even Gears of War Is Reportedly in Talks to Come to PlayStation
Besides what Bethesda does this is really the only franchise from Xbox I’d really care about. Would love to platinum the first 3 on PlayStation
