Not surprising around 40% who visit here are getting it day one. I'm worried about the non ps blog visitors though. I'll wait for reviews and a sale. This isn't the game that will make me shell out $70. If this was a massive game then I get it, but its kind of a tight loop from what I've seen. I do think they've done a great job on presentation and it looks interesting. We'll see.
Add me to the waiting for price drop crew. A demo prior to release could help get people hooked and willing to spend 70 bucks. Well, if you are confident in it I guess.
Hey everyone. Buy physical. Don't give into the convenience of digital, because when these stores go tits up, you're left without support. I know that they'll eventually pull all of this stuff off the servers and if you don't have it downloaded anymore, you are s.o.l.
Half the games needing day one patches to be playable is another story. But surely people will be archiving patches for use many years down the road.
I guess when all of this goes down, which we know it will, people will be forced to pirate games because they can't get them anywhere else.
@awp69 Its all wrapped in the same thing. The app is called Game Pass and there are Cloud/PC/Console options within the Gamepass app. Yeah you can download it, but I don't have a dedicated Xbox and the point for me was to stream the games that were included in Gamepass. Which sucks compared the Nvidia and Sonys versions.
I won't be buying The Show for PS5 until it's 40 or 50 bucks (and physical). I get why everybody is upset but Gamepass isn't that great to be honest. I had a 14 day trial recently and had performance issues on my gigabit internet, and twice the whole thing was down and I could not stream games. It was a bad experience and I will not be going back.
@tinCAT-zero haha you need to chill and not be so offended by a video game commenter. Do you not see the irony in your comments? Actually I don't care what the answer is, I'm done. Sorry my one line comment of the game being overrated ruined your day
@Areus I know you think this is your shtick like "Ninja approved" or ".word up son", but reading your comments typed like that literally gives me a headache.
Also agree that the game is really fun. There are some poor decisions with the battle pass and such that should not be in a full price game.
As a tip, you can disable some presentation options, like the other pro golfer look ins during career to make loading faster. Its like the game has to think about if it wants to show you a highlight and then build the highlight before execution.
I'm hopeful that they put some more career rpg elements in the future as other sports games have done. The future is bright for this series if they can expand on what they've built.
I'm not too worried about it. I have a feeling that most of these will come to Playstation a year or two after Xbox. There will be too big of a market for Microsoft to ignore.
I mean look at Sony bringing exclusives to PC. Greed always wins out over long term strategy.
I don't want it to make me sick like the first iteration did. And cameras need to be built into the headset and controllers. I couldn't even play the current psvr in my media room since all of the equipment is in the back.
It's good that Bioware has been handed the reigns to control their own destiny. You have to think this is their last chance. EA must have come to them and said "Okay guys, this is it. What do you need for this to be a success?" To which Bioware replied, "Let us do the things that made us successful in the first place."
Why EA paid a ton of money for a single player RPG studio and then tried to shift them into something they were not is insane to me.
There is a lot of this game that is appealing, but a lot that is not. Rogue-ish games generally hide their lack of content behind their reset mechanics. I'm not seeing the value prop he mentioned but we'll see when it gets reviewed.

Re: Sony Suggests MLB Made the Decision to Include MLB The Show 21 on Xbox Game Pass
Wouldn't put it past Sony to let this play out, collect the pre-order and week 1 sales, and announce it as a PS Plus title in May or June.
Why say theyll give it up now and give up millions of pre-order and early week sales?
Re: Sony Suggests MLB Made the Decision to Include MLB The Show 21 on Xbox Game Pass
@CosmicFuzz Pre-order lesson learned my friend. Never pre-order (ever).

And calling a game overrated is crapping all over it? Maybe you're being a tad dramatic?
