This is not surprising. The PS4 has amazing longevity. To put things into perspective:
PS3 release date: November 2006 PS4 release date: November 2013 PS5 release date: November 2020
We're in March 2024, 10⅓ years post-PS4 launch and 3⅓ years post-PS5 launch. The vast majority of games being released are available on PS4. The next FFXIV expansion, Dawntrail, will also be released on PS4.
The equivalent of this was March 2017, 10⅓ years post-PS3 launch and 3⅓ years post-PS4 launch. The only games released on PS3 that year were Persona 5, PES 2017, NBA 2K18, FIFA 18, and barely half a dozen of small indie titles. The FFXIV expansion of that year, Stormblood, was not released on PS3.
@Ken_Kaniff RIght, so using proper, correct, spelling and grammar means being a "grammar Nazi" now? People like you epitomize everything that's wrong with internet culture, the dude was helpfully pointing out a basic error, which to be fair, an "editor" should not even be making in the first place, he even apologized, when he shouldn't have, and you straight out verbally assault the dude.
Just when you begin to think Atlus can't get any more anti-consumer than they already are, you get another revelation to prove you wrong. Unbelievable.
So scummy from their part. After the whole Persona 5 debacle (many bought the game 3 times), I'd decided to only buy Atlus games second hand so that they don't get a penny from me.
Second-hand purchases only when it comes to Atlus titles on my part. People shouldn't give them their hard-earned money with these shady practices. Their statements are pure lies.
I believe this is normal. Since the content is not a game, but rather Addon Content (DLC), it isn't possible to download it. You need to have the base game Destiny 2 installed first. That's my theory.
I have 0 interest in this. I don't want to get used to not owning the games I buy, after all. Also, a Quadruple-A game is way too much of a novelty for me.
Excellent news. Ys is a legendary franchise with their games having god-tier soundtracks!
Considering Ys IX had a September 2019 release in Japan and February 2021 release in the West, I was expecting Ys X (released in Japan in September 2023) to have a February 2025 release, glad to see it come earlier!
@NotGeno dude, firstly, The Answer does not include FeMC. secondly, Atlus, being as money-hungry as they are, definitely would release an edition of P3R which includes its DLC, à la Cyberpunk Ultimate Edition and Resident Evil 4 Gold Edition.
I always buy games in physical format. The day gaming goes full-digital is the day I quit buying new releases to focus only on playing through my backlog of discs/cartridges.
Bravo Tremblay, what an amazing job! Alienating gamers and ensuring many people (me included) won't be spending their hard-earned money on Ubisoft products. Congratulations!
Not surprising at all. The PS4 is a great console even a decade after its original release. I still use mine for playing PS4 games and keep my PS5 exclusively for PS5 games.
The PS4 completely trumps the PS5 in certain aspects such as better UI, themes, and games management via folders to mention a few.

The PS4 sure is impressive, what an achievement.

@jFug You did nothing wrong, that guy is deranged

Re: First Persona 3 Reload DLC Out Now, Adds Songs from Persona 5 and 4
So scummy from their part. After the whole Persona 5 debacle (many bought the game 3 times), I'd decided to only buy Atlus games second hand so that they don't get a penny from me.
Re: Persona 3 Reload's Episode Aigis DLC Was Dropped from the Base Game Due to Development Difficulties
Another day, another disgusting Atlus lie, can't wait to read their next one!
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth?
I'd rate it 9/10 after 48 hours of gametime, the very obnoxious minigames are the reason I can't give it a 10
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Unicorn Overlord?
I plan on playing it, right after finishing Rebirth.
As for Vanillaware, it's defo one of my favourite devs.
Re: Trails, Ys Developer Falcom Confirms New Tokyo Xanadu Game
Tokyo Xanadu was my first ever Falcom game, and it introduced me to my favourite franchises in gaming: Ys and Trails. Can't wait for this one!
Re: What Year Is It? There's a New PS3 Firmware Update Out Now
Recently turned mine on to play Folklore, such a unique PS3-exclusive, really enjoyed it

Second-hand purchases only when it comes to Atlus titles on my part. People shouldn't give them their hard-earned money with these shady practices. Their statements are pure lies.
Re: Unicorn Overlord (PS5) - An Utterly Brilliant Strategy RPG
Excellent news, looking forward to play this once I'm done with Rebirth!

Re: Mini Review: Pentiment (PS5) - A Slow-Burning 16th-Century Murder Mystery
Very nice meme potential, after IGN's "Too much water", we now have Push Square's "Not for everyone".
Re: PS5, PS4 Action RPG REYNATIS Looks Hella Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts
Oh great, another mediocre-looking Furyu game after the two Caligula Effects, Monark, and Crymachina...
I'll probably buy it though!
Re: Pentiment and Hi-Fi Rush Treated to Physical PS5 Versions by Limited Run Games

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 516
Currently on Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade after finishing Crisis Core Reunion a few days back. Getting prepared to Rebirth.

Re: Poll: Will You Be Watching the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth State of Play?
No, because I don't want to have the game ruined by spoilers
Re: Potential Persona 3 Reload DLC The Answer Found in New Datamine
And this is exactly why I only buy Atlus stuff second-hand now
Re: No Expanded Royal or Golden Edition for Persona 3 Reload, Atlus Promises
@NotGeno dude, firstly, The Answer does not include FeMC. secondly, Atlus, being as money-hungry as they are, definitely would release an edition of P3R which includes its DLC, à la Cyberpunk Ultimate Edition and Resident Evil 4 Gold Edition.
Re: No Expanded Royal or Golden Edition for Persona 3 Reload, Atlus Promises
Ah yes, "currently"! Hilarious! Come next month they will definitely start planning for the next versions of the game featuring FeMC and FES content.
Empty words from this scummy company.
Re: Rumour: A New PlayStation Handheld Console Reportedly in the Works
The PS Vita is my favourite handheld, I have 3 (all different models), would love a successor to it!
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Persona 3 Reload?
I refuse to support Atlus and their scummy anti-consumer practices, so I'll buy this second-hand once it's heavily discounted at CEX or eBay
Re: Rumour: Persona 3 Reload Lines Up The Answer as DLC
And this is exactly why I don't give any more of my hard-earned money to scummy Atlus.
Re: Soapbox: This Is Why Physical Games Are Still Important to Me

Re: UK's GAME Stores to Stop Accepting Trade-Ins from Next Month
Ah, lovely GAME, that garbage shop which charges £5 for postage/delivery and also £5 for picking up an order in-store
Re: Free Rise of the Ronin PS5 Avatars Available Now
Redeemed all 6. Looking forward to this PS5 exclusive.

Re: Happy New Year from the Push Square Team
Happy new year everyone! Looking forward to JRPG Paradise this year.
Re: Game of the Year: #5 - Final Fantasy 16
This game should be on the podium, only 5th is ridiculous
Re: Game of the Year: Best PS5, PS4 Story Game of 2023

Re: Persona Studio's Fantasy RPG Metaphor: ReFantazio Looking Slick in Stylish Screens
Why did they have to include a carbon copy of the Persona 3 protagonist... facepalm
Re: PS5 Sales Absolutely Explode in Europe as Sony Single-Handedly Drives Industry Up
The PlayStation has always been, and will always be an iconic powerhouse in gaming. The PS5 being an excellent product easily explains these numbers.

Ace Attorney, Decapolice, FF7R, Metaphor, Trails to Daybreak

Re: Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition Announced, Launches Physically and Digitally in December
Hahaha, calling this an Ultimate Edition is as bad as those Switch "code in a box" games
Re: The Last of Us 2 PS5 Version Appears Inevitable Now
Still haven't played the original PS4 release, despite a colleague lending me his copy of the game after completing it....... 3 years ago!
Re: Part of Your PS5 Profile Is Now Pretty Much Useless
Stop the misinformation! As others have said, the Shared tab displays content that is shared on YouTube. This article is useless.
Re: Atlus Announces Inevitable Day 1 DLC for Persona 5 Tactica
@RainbowGazelle Couldn't have said it better. That's why I only buy second-hand Atlus games a few years after release at a bargain price.
Re: AI Could Make Grand Theft Auto NPCs 'Really Interesting and Fun', Says Take-Two CEO
Pretty cringe.
Re: Baldur's Gate 3 PS5 Physical Version Set to Be Announced This Week
Preordering it as soon as it's available. There was no way I was going to spend over £55 on a digital game.
Re: Baldur's Gate 3 Dominates Golden Joystick Awards, Wins Game of the Year
@MikeOrator I read that this version will be censored, no?
Re: New Sony PS5 Advert Designed to Set Pulses Racing
I love my PS5 but I really don't get this ad. All of those games are either already or soon-to-be playable on PC.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Alan Wake 2?
Won't buy the game as long as there is only one forced option from which to do so
