@Marquez I'm working on clearing my PS4 and Steam backlog until the 'days of play' sale, when I check my wishlist. RE8 and ME Trilogy are pretty hard to resist, though...
I will never understand why we all agree that gunning down civilians in GTA left right and centre is just fine, but shooting animals is some weird controversy. It's bizarre to me. Obviously you need limits, somewhere, (e.g. child characters in games) but animals? Especially ones that are attacking you? What's the problem?
@TraCuz- Why? None of this debacle (and yes, I agree it's a debacle) affects games released on PS5/PC right now and in the future. That said, maybe a PS5 boycott IS a good idea, a nasty sudden drop in profit might give Sony a kick up the arse to get PS1, 2 and 3 emulation working on PS5. It's definitely possible if they're willing to spend the time and money.
It's selling ok, but nowhere near enough for Sony to spend much time and money on courting Japanese gamers. They abandoned (or are abandoning) console gaming, not the other way around.
@ShiningStar I agree with you on the TV dramas. I hate this trend of weekly releases made to keep people subscribed for longer. I just wait until the whole thing is released and watch one or two episodes a day! That's the best way for me, as I don't like watching two series (or playing two games) at once.
@RBMango This 100%. Sony are approaching 2005 era Sony with how arrogant and wrong-headed they seem to be acting. Calling them out and withholding custom are good for the company, because it'll force them to make better, more pro-consumer decisions.
@Shstrick I'm pretty sure Joe Casual Public love GamePass, too. Hardcore Sony fans will buy PS5s (when they can bloody find them) and £70 games just fine, but when JC Public see GP's offering and price, it'll seem like a no-brainer to them. Again, it's good as it'll force Sony to make interesting, pro-consumer decisions.
@Rob_230 I'm guessing people are getting rubbed the wrong way by how bad the PS5's games' values seem compared to Game Pass. This massive upheaval in game consumption, kind of makes Sony look like a rip-off merchant even though they're doing what was seen as normal, a year ago. It's good really, though. When publishers feel the heat and have their backs against the wall, that's when we get their best efforts.
@RogerRoger To be fair, that game was released on a newer engine and looked noticeably better than LIS1 and BTS. I guess they didn't feel that it needed a remaster
@Playstation I will never understand this logic. If shooting humans left right and centre is fine in games, why are people so squeamish about shooting animals? Especially animals that are basically mythical to all intents and purposes. (i.e. They probably won't have feathers etc.) If this really is the reason we never get dinosaur games, then this is the one 'anti-snowflake' thing, I'll get behind.
I'm really looking forward to this. I've held off buying the game until all the DLC is out. Does it run OK on OG PS4, without making it sound like it's going to take off?
@Tigerhoodman Short answer: Yes, they're awesome (OK ME3's ending is...not perfect,but still play it) Long answer: Yes and why on Earth would not playing the originals mean you can't play the remasters?! The whole point of stuff like this is to introduce new people.
@Amin1998 For what it's worth, you can switch the tank controls to regular analog controls with sprint always on, on the Origins collection. That's what I do. You're stuck with the fixed camera, sadly.
@TaterSlap69 Remember, you'll get the Hitman 2 levels on H3 for free, and the H1 levels as well, if you own that (or you can essentially download them as DLC).

Re: Assassin's Creed Valhalla: Wrath of the Druids (PS5) - The Series' Biggest DLC Is Also One of Its Best
I almost wish these DLC were standalone (without the need for the main game) for people who might want a more compact AC experience.

Re: All EA Play Games on PS5, PS4
So is EA Play essentially Game Pass but for EA games?
Re: Mass Effect Legendary Edition Download Size Is Massive on PS5, PS4
Well, it's 3 massive games, so I guess not too surprising. Why can't EU countries get language options, though!
Re: Assassin's Creed Valhalla Devs Now Working on Better Updates at a Slower Pace
@Olmaz Don't BUY a buggy game.
Re: Assassin's Creed Valhalla Update Incoming, DLC Trophies Live on PS4
@nessisonett You should have been a patient gamer with ACV. You will be able to get the gold edition for £40 by the time you beat Odyssey!

Re: Disco Elysium: The Final Cut Out Now on PS5, PS4
@kingtoten This is the first game, it's just an improved edition of it. It's gotten very good reviews, too.

@Total_Weirdo The DLC looks interesting. Maybe you should check that out?
