People really not buying and missing out on the game because no physical? Weird.

@Darylb88 it's only the 'edgy' tools at Eurogamer that caused that. Once they're all in it'll make no difference.

@saffeqwe If Sony had said 'exclusive' then you'd have a point, but in what way is the phrase 'console exclusive', ie exclusivity pertaining to consoles at this time, incorrect?

@PsBoxSwitchOwner Eurogamer giving it 4/5 was tiresomely predictable, they are desperate to swim against the tide on anything. Yet they'll give obscure indie games where the dev more often than not knows someone on their staff 5/5's all day long.

Once all the reviews are in, theirs won't carry enough weight to move the average score at all; it'll just be a footnote to remind everyone what a whack site they are these days.

@PaperAlien Turkey only comes up after the inevitable 'physical is cheaper' comment, in an article about a digital sale.

It's fair enough to refute that.

@Wazeddie22 This is the biggest advantage to those who just have Essential - at least you know the monthly games you're given on that are not going anywhere.

Just Sea of Stars for me (when it finally comes) but that's fine, more than enough for the time being.

People should always use PCM when they can. It's the purest signal and should always be the first choice before messing about with other options.

@sop I loved it for the first hour or so, indifferent for the next couple, bored stiff after that.

It's like the review here said, it IS the best Far Cry game imo, but open worlds, mindless AI and too many alternatives that aren't a clone of the other 5 of these made it all meh for me.

Perfect for Extra though, tried and dropped with curiosity sated and no buyers remorse. You'll probably complete it or drop it well before they take it off.

And the pet crocodile is cute.

@ChrisDeku I've saved a fortune buying games from Turkey. FFXVI cost me about £25 day one, Spider-Man 2 pre-order even less. Even better, you can get PS+ Extra for about £15 a year. And play it all on your UK account. Insane.

They have increased pricing on some of the games recently, but even with that they're still cheaper than UK

Pre-ordered Baldurs Gate 3 the other day for just over twenty quid. 😀

@KingPev that's all fair enough, but Nintendo shouldn't get a pass for using potato hardware and ending up with games that have to run at 30fps and 540p or lower sometimes as a result of that penny pinching decision.

@tselliot then again, I've watched a number of YouTubers who are preferring to play with a controller.

Just going to depend on the individual I think.

There are idiots.on Nintendolife pretending they've 'never heard of the game', and even 'its a Diablo clone' 🤣

Switch owners don't need to worry about what BG3 would look like on their potato anyway, so back to totk for them.

Waiting for the Pro.

Day one buy for me if I'm able to get one.

Two Point Hospital is fun....hopefully the far superior Two Point Campus makes its way onto Extra as well sometime.

Played this on PC...pretentious rubbish of the very worst kind. And this needs a PS5 version why exactly? Oh, to extract more cash of course.

AVOID.

@dellyrascal Yeah, we often forget, as regular visitors here, that we are in the minority of the user base and most simply won't know or understand that this is a blatant cash grab, isn't enhanced etc.

They'll just see the marketing, see RDR for PS4 on the ads and go and buy. Ker-ching for Rockstar, as if they need more of that.

@deathaxe When it comes to fighting that demon, you can even make him drop the sword while you're fighting him and grab it there and then to use against him. 🤣

Larian and Rockstar.

Compare and contrast.

Kings of the lazy cash-in strike again.

@deathaxe it's just the usual few who aren't interested in the game and don't like the amount of coverage it's getting, or they're angry it's only on digital because they'd rather miss a game they'd love than not buy on disc, or they're angry because they simply don't understand this type of game etc etc

The 'getting angry over a videogame' thing is all too real for some!

I'm kind of glad PC gets it a month before...there's bound to be a whole bunch of egregious, yet easily fixable, bugs and glitches that will be patched out by the time we get our hands on it. 👍

Has a tough job if it wants to beat the batshit craziness of Rimworld 'romances'....

This is not like the PS1 boot sound, which is still the best.

Muting this cheap beep immediately.

@Powerplay94 Very good point about the purchasing.

I have PS+ Extra but I still buy the games I'm really interested in, often in their first decent sale. I view Extra as a big library to browse and dip in and out of, rather than the be all and end all that GamePass seems to be.

Sony are fine, all the whipped up 'concern' is ridiculous and these figures prove that.

Don't like earbuds, I'll stick with my lovely WH-1000XM5's. Best headphones I've ever owned.

@themightyant isn't it just? And yet people still say Sony is 'finished' on a regular basis.

Ask me if I could only have one console out of Series X, Switch and PS5, heck include PC if you want, and it's an easy choice for me to go with Sony.

I'll probably even stump up for a Pro if/when it happens too. Not because I'm bothered about 8K, because I'm not at all, but because it will hopefully mean the end of any 30/60 framerate compromises. Not expecting 4K60, but a lot closer to it and with more stability.

@ShadowofSparta same! bought in sale but waiting for all the dlc to play 👍

So how are we thinking the controller UI is going to be for this?

I'm guessing daunting, although DOS2 was playable on console, and that was years ago.

@MeerkatSimples Yes, if you want to pay more for the digital deluxe edition then you get 3 days beta testing early access to Act 1😉

I'll stick with the base game and the day one patch.

@Northern_munkey I looked at Far Cry 6 the other day, having downloaded it off Extra a while ago and turns out that crap is taking up somewhere north of 100GB, and I haven't even bothered to play it. So an easy solution for me on this occasion.

Having said that, I'd happily find a way of making 300GB free for this if I had to 😀

@ShadowofSparta these big DLCs are free anyway, which is great.

Definitely clearing stock before the new model is announced. Good bargain though for anyone not yet owning one.

@kuu_nousee I usually struggle with first person games but with this one, in 60fps mode and with the camera rotation speed slowed down, all ok.

No thanks, I'll grab it on a torrent whenever.

People who whine about games going digital, how they'll quit gaming when it happens.. .they're ok with some elements of it. Happy to not buy a disc when it suits them.

I just laugh because I won't ever buy a disc for any of my media....others... selective outrage. The NIMBYs of gaming.

Looking forward to this one 👍

It's probably going to be $249/£249, but even if it were $99/£99 I wouldn't be the slightest bit interested.

What's the point?

Not short of money, and love my tech. Have owned every Playstation since a Japanese import PS1 back in 1994, so I'll be buying this Day 1 if I'm able to find stock.

@BeerIsAwesome yep it'll be worth a torrent.

@Fiendish-Beaver Thanks for the detailed reply - you've managed to both tempt me for the game with your praise, and also dissuade it from it, as I very much enjoyed DOS2 years ago and LOVED Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous more recently, but I found those 2 quite the steep learning curves in themselves. May wait and watch some YT of the first few hours of this on release and see how confused I feel.

Is this going to be more or less complicated to play than the Pathfinder games?

So can we expect Gran Turismo The Game, based on Gran Turismo the movie, based on Gran Turismo The Game, soon?

@ChakaL00T it's just a numbers thing....a certain tiny percentage of products fail, and you're the unlucky statistic this time.

It sucks, but there you go...Laws of Probability are real.

Chose of us using the Turkey store are chuckling away at the usual comments saying physical is cheaper. 😄

@Falkirk4life Nah, that's the big disadvantage - when the Extra/Premium games are rotated out, everyone who was playing via those subs loses access to them.

At least the Essential games are yours to keep so long as your sub is active.

@ATaco People expressing opinions in a comments section?

Say it ain't so!

@lacerz you're absolutely right, even the PS+ Essential games don't have this problem as they stay as long as your sub does, so they're effectively in your library.

I got a long free upgrade to Premium when these tiers started, but I've already realised I don't like the transient nature of the games on the higher tiers - I just can't get invested in playing them, and will definitely drop back to Essential when it expires.

@IslandLogic haha you're quite right, in fact. I hadn't even realised
