With gaming bigger than ever and CEO's on extortionate amounts of money these companies didn't need to raise the price by $10(£20 in the UK!) to survive, they did it out of greed nothing more . The lack of a real pushback from those with a significant platform really cost gamers as a whole.

I agree with the contents of the article but this seems a bit like the pot calling the kettle black from this site. Just last month you thought someone leaving Twitter was newsworthy.
@thefourfoldroot1 I've seen the anime that's based on and it was really good so you're in for a really good VN I think, only thing holding me back is knowing how the story goes kinda kills a visual novel.
Some people need to learn to judge a game for themselves and only use reviews to get a general feel of what they're in for. At the end of the day the only opinion that matters is your own, I've played plenty of supposed 10/10s I've felt cold on and plenty of 6/10s I've adored.
A couple examples from this site is the 10/10 LoU Part II(7/10 for me) And the 6/10 Yakuza Kiwami(9/10 for my tastes)
@AstraeaV I would give the first game a similar score not to be different but because I genuinely didn't enjoy it as much as most. Usually on a 10 point review system 6 means "fine" which is how I'd describe GoW 2018, different opinions exist.
@thefourfoldroot1 Better than anything outside of VR? c'mon man not even the biggest VR fanboys believe that. VR is a fad that will go the way of motion controls before we know it.
This won't have any effect on Sony's plans, now if it was a bigger IP only having 600 maybe but not Sackboy.
Honestly I'd be more than happy for them to confirm every game going forward will come to PC within a year.
I'm guessing all the people that can't handle 30fps all of a sudden had another hobby a few years ago.
If you want 60fps minimum to be the norm theres a simple fix, ditch consoles and buy a good PC.
I must be the only person that's never streamed on console. I've always had a dedicated device for that kinda thing because I usually just stream stuff for background noise and I'm not sure I want my PS4/5 or whatever to be on for like 10 hours at a time.
They need to start offering a small number of points with every challenge otherwise people won't bother, plus some of the rewards are way too expensive.
Sekiro for 1500 is ridiculous, I'd rather just spend the £20 or whatever for the physical version.
What would make this really worthwhile is if they offered points for trophies, like 1 point for every trophy but 50 for a Platinum.

Re: Fire Emblem Veteran Plotting SRPG Redemption Reapers for PS4
With an actual FE out the month before I think I'll wait on this but will for sure get to it eventually.
Re: SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake Gets Ready for Release on PS4 in January
Really looking forward to it but it comes at a busy time for me so I'll be holding off till I have time.

Re: PS5 Can't Beat Pokémon, But It's Selling Well in Japan Right Now
Pokémon is actually pretty good under the mess sorta like Cyberpunk which makes it even more sad they couldn’t give it some extra polish.
Re: PS5 Can't Beat Pokémon, But It's Selling Well in Japan Right Now
@Fenbops I think somebody needs to look up the word literally.

They should just have two tiers tbh.
Re: We Were Denied a Grand Theft Auto Movie Starring Eminem, Proof the Earth Is a Cold, Dead Place
You guys should really adopt the "Random" tag NL uses.
Re: Goat Simulator 3 (PS5) - Bigger, Madder Sequel Is Udderly Ridiculous
Sounds like an easy pass for me.
Even if you're making a broken buggy game as a joke you're just making a broken buggy game.

Re: The Witcher 3 PS5 Version Releases 14th December, Details and Gameplay Coming Next Week
I stopped playing this just because of the load times, some of the worst I've seen in a game. so thankfully my main issue is being fixed.

Re: Latest PS Store Sale Discounts 1,000+ PS5, PS4 Games and DLC
I have so many games In my backlog I'm kinda glad nothing interests me in this sale.

Zero interest but I hope those that got it enjoy, as for me I'm waiting for Pokemon next week.

Already over it tbh.
Re: PS5 Exclusive Ghostwire Tokyo Is Coming to Xbox, According to Wall Art in Bethesda Office
@Northern_munkey You care enough to click on the article and comment.
Re: PS5 Exclusive Ghostwire Tokyo Is Coming to Xbox, According to Wall Art in Bethesda Office
The amount of salt in these comments😂
Pretend to love it when it's exclusive and pretend it sucks when it's not with some I swear.
Re: Poll: Will You Pay the PSVR2 Launch Price?
@thefourfoldroot1 Better than anything outside of VR? c'mon man not even the biggest VR fanboys believe that.
VR is a fad that will go the way of motion controls before we know it.
Re: Poll: Will You Pay the PSVR2 Launch Price?
I still think VR is underdeveloped with 90% of games being no more than shallow tech demos so I'll not be jumping in at any price.
Re: Star Ocean: The Divine Force (PS5) - Space Age JRPG Barely Takes Flight
A Push Square 6/10 for a JRPG might as well be an 8/10.
*Edit, I was wrong but not by much 7/10.

Re: Sackboy: A Big Adventure Has Proven Very Unpopular on PC
@TrickyDicky99 The reduction in game sales probably has to do with the price increase not the fact its on PC a few months later.
Re: Sony Accidentally Sends God of War Ragnarok PS5 Bundle to Customer
Tbh I'd probably give it back to Sony considering I have no interest in GoW anyway in hopes I get something extra like a controller.

She's as relevant as the PSP.

Re: Gotham Knights (PS5) - It's Actually Pretty Good
@nomither6 The way some entitled gamers act you'd think anything below 60 played like one of those LCD handhelds.
Re: Gotham Knights (PS5) - It's Actually Pretty Good
Half the people complaing its 30fps wouldn't even notice unless they was told.
Re: Silent Hill 2 PS5 Remake Announced as a Console Exclusive
Jim Ryan, biggest hypocrite in gaming.
Re: As Energy Prices Soar, Consider an Alternative to Video Streaming on PS5, PS4
I must be the only person that's never streamed on console.

Re: GTA 6 Hackers Potentially Under Investigation by the FBI
@dfsfdads You're what's wrong with modern gaming fans.
Companies owe you and us fans nothing, when they want to show stuff its up to them.

Playing a dangerous game posting those links guys.

I don’t care too much but still sucks.
Re: UK Sales Charts: Horizon Forbidden West and The Last of Us 1 Grounded in the Top 5
Bought Splatoon 3 and it deserves its sales.
It sold 3.5 million in Japan alone which is crazy, wouldn't be shocked if it broke 6 million in 3 days.

Re: The Last of Us PS5’s UK Physical Sales Half of Saints Row
Good.
Let's hope it's a trend to show Sony they were wrong to raise prices to unfair levels outside of America
