Tbh I burned myself out on games during the pandemic which culminated with elden ring. After pouring something like 300-400 hours into that I'm kind of done with big fancy games for a while. Have just been chilling with some ace attorney and AI: Somnium Files.
@IOI I think Phil has been great for the industry. With Xbox being a legit competitor again the whole industry benefits. I'm subscribed to gamepass on and off depending on content and don't even own an Xbox console.
@tameshiyaku I've sort of gone off the big budget cinematic Sony games recently, but the strong ties to 3rd party JP developers you mentioned is a big selling point for me. Need mah weeb games
Most annoying one to me recently was mortal shell on PS plus. It usually has a free upgrade, but the PS4 version given away wasn't eligible. Like, c'mon man... it's so stingy.
AAA gaming is such a ***** show these days. Games released half-broken without a whole lot of content (you have to buy the rest of the game in tiny chunks via MTX), and now this slap in the face. I know it's not every dev doing it but I don't know why anybody bothers with the exploitative trash of AAA anymore.
@Fenbops Tom Holland is great but he's 100% miscast in the Uncharted movie, feels completely wrong tonally. I guess he signed something with Sony as part of the Spider-Man movies.
Feel kinda the same. Lots of CGI trailers not showing the game, lots of remasters and remakes (KOTOR is great news but was literally just the announcement), God of War looks damn good but still feels last gen (actually there wasn't much at all in the way of showing off the PS5's power). GTAV is just shameful at this point. Project Eve looks like some silly B-movie kind of fun though.
@PabloProuty I feel like PlayStation has so much momentum behind it from previous gen, Sony are getting cocky again and seeing how much they are able to get away with. No business or brand is ever your friend...
Looking forward to playing this in 3 years when the price is reasonable. I'm not paying ridiculous Sony taxes just to play it on release, it's a digital product that doesn't degrade over time (and arguably gets better with updates), if you're paying the full £70 you might as well just be throwing cash into the fireplace, total waste of money.
Ubisoft are literally incapable of not running any of their IPs into the ground through endless yearly iteration. I'm not saying their long running series haven't had some pretty great moments but it's drowned out in the endless noise of the same thing being repeated over and over for eternity. Skip this snoozefest.
Absolute garbage month, that is beyond doubt. That said I feel if there's 3-4 good PS+ games I like in a year the subscription has paid for itself, which has already happened for me.

Re: Loveable Sony Suit Shuhei Yoshida Is a Legit Let's Play YouTuber Now
The same shuhei yoshida that said demon's souls is unplayable garbage. Real clever guy.
Re: Elden Ring IP to Expand 'Beyond the Realm of Games'
An anime, or a manga maybe? Don't think a novelisation is realistic, GRRM writes one sentence per year.

Re: Analyst Expects PS5 to Seriously Outperform Xbox This Year
I'd argue all that matters to MS now is Gamepass subscribers. With pc and game streaming actual Xbox sales aren't as relevant to them anymore.
Re: Harry Potter Game Hogwarts Legacy Allegedly in Trouble on PS5, PS4
Imagine after all this hype and waiting the game isn't good. The last game the studio worked on is Cars 3: Driven to Win. Let that sink in...

Re: PS Plus Blocks Free Mortal Shell PS5 Upgrade
This is some BS. Was looking forwards to this, but don't see any point in playing an inferior version seeing as I'm in no rush.
Re: Poll: Are You Happy With Your PS Plus Games for December 2021?
Have been interested in mortal shell for a while so this is a good month for me. Don't care about the other two.
Re: Rumour: PS Plus December 2021 PS5, PS4 Games Leaked Early
Probably won't bother with the other two, but Mortal Shell is something I've been interested in for a while as a Souls fan. Will gladly take that.

Re: Poll: Are You Happy With Your PS Plus Games for October 2021?
Big meh from me. Not bothered though, have had a few good games this year already so it's paid for itself.
Re: GTA 5 and GTA Online Delayed to March 2022 on PS5
What a joke! Rockstar really are shameless.

Re: Rumour: PS Plus September 2021 PS5, PS4 Games Leaked Ahead of Official Reveal
Hitman 2 would make this a good month for me, will give Overcooked a whirl with the kiddo as well.
Re: PS Plus Games for August 2021 Available to Download on PS5, PS4 Now
@drk not adding them to avoid cluttering up my library with junk. I know I will never play them even if I do add them.
