Deserves to be there, but feels a stretch to say dark souls started it all when demon souls came first. But demon souls came out in 2009 so can't be on the list...
@get2sammyb You don't need to to work with the publisher in future if they do this. You have 2 days to buy the game and review before anyone else does.
A good game can get 10s or 100s of hours of playtime. A 7 isn't considered great because if you have limited time and like a variety of genres there really isn't a need to go down as far as a 7 when choosing what to play. Yes, tastes differ but as a general rule the majority of people can't even fit in the 8+s
It's bad, but Sony have been doing this a long time, look at their history on electronics, tons of products that failed commercially that they ditch as soon as they can and leave the people that supported them unsupported.
@kyleforrester87 There's nothing else to it than appealing to addictive tendencies, so yeah they shouldn't make it. Supporting anything pay 2 play is contributing to the death of gaming imo
@get2sammyb Yeah, you can apply the logic to any pay to win stuff, but at least FUT contains an element of skill. This stuff just appeals to those with addictive tendencies and some will spend ridiculous amounts as they can't help themselves.
@get2sammyb Possibly, but games like this are pretty immoral imo, they appeal to the same addictive tendencies as slot machines and are designed wholly to encourage you to spend more money. The prevalence of them on smart phones is going to kill dedicated consoles if developers can make more peddling this stuff than making proper gaming experiences
What people are ignoring is that the systems now sell each other. On PS+ with a ps3, eventually youll have racked up enough games you won't be able to say no to a vita. I have a vita and a ps3, will get a ps4 next year and will already have a nice catalogue. As plus is almost compulsory for ps4 there's bound to be vita sales off the back of its success
This is pretty great, but ME should surely be played in order, please let me have 1 and 2 next month. Not bothered by DOA but MSG Vita, glad I held out on buying it now!
Am seriously put off buying VITA games now tbh, may as well wait for them to turn up on PS+
Annoyed about Wipeout 2048, come on anyone with a 3G Vita's got this already. Still, given Lumines is a full release I suppose I can't complain.
Knew I didn't bother with f1 race stars for a reason. I love PS+, but can't help but think Sony is shooting themselves in the foot a litte, as I have zero reason to buy anything new now.
Yeah, not getting my hopes up it won't be one of the games that's been on sale - Although it's pretty cheeky imo if it's one of the ones that had the 10% plus discount in the past (Little Deviants would be my guess). I suppose they're not targeting people that already have plus though.

@naruball
It does if you want people to be early adopters of any future product.

Re: Poll: Where Do You Stand on Microtransactions?
You don't need these games. If you don't like microtransactions, don't just boycott them, boycott the game full stop.

I have no idea why anyone would buy a ps4 and then play this **** on it.

@Xaessya you can already play ps4 games on pc

Re: Gran Turismo PS4 Will Be the 'Best Entry You Can Imagine'
@Kohaku I logged in to post that, the lack of ps4 support for the logitech gt currently is shocking.
Re: Could You Be Getting Two Free PS4 Titles Next Month?
Plus games are supposed to have a metascore of 70+. Knack is only just over 50.
Re: You'll Totally Be Able to Upgrade DriveClub PS Plus Edition for a Discount
Given they often offer free trials to PS plus, this is fair enough, otherwise no one will play full price.
Re: Settle into South Park with 13 Minutes of Stick of Truth Gameplay
This looks incredible. I even stopped watching after 5 mins so I don't spoil the beginning.
Re: Talking Point: Is PlayStation Plus Helping or Hindering the PS Vita?

Re: GamesCom 2013: SEGA Places Football Manager Classic 2014 on the Vita Transfer List
It is, it's in line with the classic version on the PC, which removes some features for people who want a quicker game without some of the depth.
Re: Tokyo Jungle Mates with PlayStation Mobile on 10th July
I think so, you should be able to play TJ under the same account as your vita once its installed on ps3.
Re: Tokyo Jungle Mates with PlayStation Mobile on 10th July
You can remote play the original, works fine on Vita screen.
Re: Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two Paints the Vita
Why's it baffling?
Re: PS4 Developers Required to Support Vita Remote Play
This is likely to speed up my purchase of a PS4.
Will bet that EA use FIFA's "support" of ps move as an excuse not to support this though.
Re: ICO & Shadow of the Colossus HD Collection Free on EU PS Plus Next Month
Nice, ICO and SOTC are remote play on vita as well I believe.
Demon's Souls should come with a health warning.

Re: Retro City Rampage Pulls Up on the European PSN Next Week
Can't help but think this guaranteed to be a plus freebie at some point, so I'll hold off.
Re: BioShock 2 Plunders the Depths of January's EU PS Plus Update
Damn. I picked this up on disk for £4 the other week!
Re: Review: Worms: Revolution (PlayStation Network)
Anyone think this should be on Vita too? Play by mail turnbased multiplayer would be great for a quick 5 minute break. Could work over 3G too.
Re: Review: Chronovolt (PlayStation Network - Vita)
I think you'll find it's a "moot point".
Yeah, this kept me occupied for about 20 mins and I haven't touched it since.

I'll pass. This is free on android.
Re: PlayStation Vita Slumps to Its Saddest Defeat Yet in Japan
This is hardly the end of the world, Xbox does fine without being popular in Japan.
I think PS+ will help, especially in Europe/US where the offering is v strong.
Re: PlayStation Plus Expands to Vita in Style with Free Copies of Uncharted and Gravity Rush
Wow. Glad I held out on gravity rush now.
2 out of 4 isn't bad.

Re: Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee New N' Tasty! Coming to PS3 and Vita
Interested to see if this is full price. Especially given the original is on the ps1 store...
Re: Shuhei Yoshida: It's Too Early for a Vita Price Cut
Why not offer a bundle with one of those new games as a download and a mem stick?
Re: Sony's European PlayStation Vita Sale Expands
Rayman's more of a bargain now.
Re: Massive MotorStorm RC Update Retunes Difficulty
Really? I thought this was a pretty reasonable platinum (given it's my only one).
