Only played Ratchet from the list and it is just an average game and should not even be included, its graphically and technically very good, but the rest is just average and not GOTY worthy.
Never play San Andreas but I'll wait for a physical version to go on sale, doesn't look like there be a PS5 physical edition this year either. Bit sneaky though to release it digitally only 1st and the physical a month later.
I don't really care if its not like a previous AC or if one of the previous games were better, all that matters is I enjoyed playing it and still play it.
The gold edition I purchased came with the season pass and it was cheaper than most other PS5 games that get less support and no additional content.
Also you said its only £49 a year but you have to factor in that you still need Plus if you want to play online for a game that is not included in Now or not installed from Now.
@fR_eeBritney all contribute to more plastic waste, and ignorant thought like that which has lead the ocean getting to the point where it will soon contain more plastic than fish soon.
Do you work for dbrand since you seem to be on personal crusade to defend them.
On Amazon the WD Black 850 1TB with a heat-sink is double the price of the non heat-sink version which is currently £139 and its little brother the 1TB SN750 is £100.
2 as its the last one I played. They got look and feel, sounds etc of Africa all spot on. Its also the most believable story and could have been any African country since most of them are failed countries being run into the ground while the general population is left to suffer.
@Legionari True if you know you getting a free upgrade people would just buy the PS4 version. Think the question is PS5 versions extra £10 cost justified over the PS4 version.
@PlayNation5 the last Quarterly results say different as gamepass helped increase Microsoft gaming revenue by 11% and offset a decline in 3rd party revenue from titles like Cod, Fifa and Fortnight with people no longer in lockdown anymore. Also have to remember that Game-pass members spend a lot more on games than non members.
As the tests have shown you don't need the super duper internal SSD to do this, even the slowest pcie 4 sdd with 3,900MB/s reads and 3,200MB/s writes can run this game the same way.
Borrowed Ratchet and Clank from a friend and glad I did as that was not worth £70. Its pretty, colourful and good example of what the PS5 can do and it had it moments but it was too easy, too short and story was not great.
This was a shock to system, because its really good and best update in long long long time and they never given us such good rewards, cleared the Blackwater one and got think almost 3 gold bars, over 1700 dollars, and so much XP I went through 10 ranks in the quick draw club. Its also really good fun.
Going by how take 2 and rockstar work now their decision will have been based on which games they can milk for the highest amount of money with in game purchases etc.
Guess they had to add it in case "SIE cannot guarantee that all M.2 SSD devices meeting the described specifications will work with your console and assumes no responsibility for the selection, performance, or use of third-party products."
Will let others be testers before decide, will be interesting to see how the thermals go and if it causes the fan speed to be sped up as Sony mentioned they could of needed.
Think PS5 stock Dropped in the UK last week, when ever that happens Miles sales jump, probably also Ratchet now as well. Not much else out there so show off the fast loading and ray tracing so naturally when people finally get a PS5 they buy these.
Going to borrow Ratchet from my friend, +1 to physical.
Will give it miss, 14 hours of the main game was enough for me and I don't think I'll ever be able to finish it, after act one it just wasn't worth my time anymore.
RDR2 just gets some new re-branded stranger missions, no new items, and the ability to buy past outlaw pass outfits for 50 gold which would cost about £18 if you really wanted it didn't have gold.
Would give it a 6 as I found it too repetitive and I got bored after completing act one and have not played it since. It got to point where it became too laborious and it was here we go again another village to clear, another patrol or another person to rescue all of which play out in the same way as the last one. Stand off gets old after the 100th time.
The grass and trees and wind is impressive but then a lot of other things like rocks are very low res and look terrible. The characters feet often either sinking into the ground or there is a gap between them and the ground.
Latest update probably the worst so far, 7 months for worthless boring missions, new currency that's no waste of time. Rockstar are now in my view the worst developer out there as it's been pretty clear for a while that they don't care what players are asking for and all they interested in is driving to micro transactions.
They enabled you to buy outfits only available from previous outlaw passes, but some cost 52gold bars, that would cost $20 USD if you were silly enough to buy the gold.
Can only imagine what's coming in the next GTA game.
Oh is there 2k quarterly update soon? Normally they only do things like this to boost player numbers so it looks good when they release the financials.
@RubyCarbuncle play in defensive mode then you they won;t be able to lasso you anywhere. If they attack you, you are then free to attack them back at in defensive mode where you take a lot less damage than they will.
@Boucho11 maybe in 2025, given its taken them this long to add this.
It is surprising though that they have not added properties as would imaging those would cost a lot of gold given how much some of the newer items cost, and would have pushed gold sales which is their top priority.
They are probably also working hard on new ways to push players to by shark cards or what ever the new will have. As well as further improving their current methods.
Used to think highly of rockstar but they are now one of the worst when it comes to pushing people to buy money and gold. RDR2 online is still bug ridden and it took them months to fix game breaking bugs but only a few days to fix a bug that benefited players as that could have meant players would not buy gold.
@Zuljaras I get why a few people didn't like it but I don't get why after a year some still feel the need to have to continually post the same comments again and again reminding us why they didn't like it every time an article mentions the game, maybe they are somehow trying to justify their dislike, or did the game really piss them off that much?

Buying needless plastic crap that we don't need like this is part of how we got the world in the state it is.

Re: Soapbox: I Don't Know How to Feel About This PS4-to-PS5 Upgrade Uproar
@wiiware Rachet and Clank was not worth $70 that's for sure, it was flashy graphics and nothing more the rest of it was average. Glad I borrowed it.
