I wanted it until I saw the price. Ridiculous. You could almost get two PS5's for a slightly better machine. Sony are going out of their way to drive away their player base.
Removing comments as "unconstructive" when they are pointing out the possibility that you are shilling for this company is the sure fire way to get us to stop coming here. This is my last visit. Keep it going and watch your site fail.
@MrMeeeseeeks Live service games are whats killing it and by calling them that you have just proved that you are one of the reasons it's dying. Throwing your money at junk rather than supporting strong developers and creators who give us great games. But you would rather repeat the same game every year with new skins (woohoo, new colours). Those games are released by dev houses for one single reason, to turn your bank account into their bank account. And you look at other as if they are are daft, all the while praising the companies who just want your cash. And you give it to them, for new trinkets and shiny guns.
This is their plan. Get some ps players hooked on their stuff. Make it exclusive once the next xbox comes out, get all the PlayStation players. I'm serious. With how bad their strategies have been this wouldn't even surprise me.
@MrMeeeseeeks When I tell people I really dislike souls games or RDR2 or Witcher 3 or Death Stranding I always get those same responses "you didn't play it" or " you just didn't get it". Ever think that maybe, just maybe, people actually dislike things you like? Yeah, crazy thought innit.
Microsoft have been fairly anti-consumer for a while now and made a series of terrible decisions in the face of Playstation continuing to dominate. I think that they see the writing on the wall and want to try and open a bridge for cross over of exclusive titles. The problem is, why would Playstation give away these monster titles and franchises for almost nothing in return? I'm fine with exclusivity, it has brought us some incredible games BECAUSE of the competition. I still would like cross platform play but I see no reason why PS should give anything away. Gear of War is fun, but not that much fun.
Shockingly bad. I was amped up for a real show but we got a neon eye-bleeder and a ton of early PS4 graphics. The first game went on way too long and was really stock looking. The DS2 was painfully long and looked awful. Kojima-san is so bad at this. I genuinely think he stands on the shoulders of brilliant programmers because his concepts and stories are awful. Really like the Diablo style game and the Ronin game looks AWESOME. Outside of that everything was a worringly poor show.
Did we think they'd become friends? Nope. Did we expect such titanic disrespect to these characters and especially Arkham Batman? Your title is passive aggression and not appreciated mate.
@Loamy Not a fan of the games mate A friend has been pushing them for ages but I have tried multiple times and I just think they are clunky and kinda dull. The wavy shooting alone is beyond me why anyone likes that.
@ThatPSGamer Nope. Stop manipulating the narrative. Games need to and want to make a profit, but when your release schedule is just the same games remade, remastered and rereleased, even worse than rockstar, then you are just greedy and taking advantage of a loyal fanbase.
Is this a paid review? This isn't a troll message. I am serious. You guys are losing credibility with just how much you are trying to justify this greedy release. You list almost nothing worth paying again for and the list of pro's actually say "still a gripping story". How, in any way is that a justification to spend again? The story hasn't changed, so why is that there?
Ubi games are just giant, repetitive maps with little do inspire. Poorly tested mechanics and horrible AI. I only play them on PS plus. I would never give that company my actually money.
I've been fully digital for everything for years now and this new trend of removing properties is seriously making me consider going back to physical media.
@KundaliniRising333 The spent a decade with Online and many years developing RDR2 and since RDR2 they have been working on this. Do you think they've just been sitting on their hands for ten years? You realise how much it takes to make something like this? Stay salty kiddo.
Journey is one of the best games ever IMO. I would have paid a good price for it. Some Ubisoft games are so big and boring that I regret downloading them for free on PSPlus. Quality at all time. A 20 hour, rock-solid game is worth more than an AC Valhalla 100 hr+ snoozefest.
I want the buds but I can't pay half the price of my console for those. It's very high. I am going to have to read several reports saying these are game changers before commiting 200 bangers to them.
@Nepp67 Sekiro and BB are the most different for sure. Sekiro looks great. BB looks dull. The rest? Minor scalable differences at best in mechanics. EVerything could be interchangeable. It's as if they actually try to copy the othergames.
Let me guess, these games will be just like the other games. Basically the same feel, combat, progression systems, art style (for the most part) and play. People say that COD releases the same game every time but Sould stuff is really just a reskinned version of the last one now. Sekiro was the best thing to happen to them in a while.
I don't know why the waste time and resources on older games so often. If you are going to do it then do it justice and revamp something about them. There are tons of games out there and very little time.
Tried it. Looked fun bu the movement and especially aiming was horribly slow and clunky. Would probably buy if it was a bit sharper. And if the area of view was a little larger.
Saying that someone has all those titles on their CV means nothing creatively. Kathleen Kennedy has one of the most illustrious CV's in movie making yet is creatively bankrupt and by all accounts a terrible person.
I dabbled in the first two but then really played the last three. I hope this is like Origins but a lot smaller. I really don't want every game to be 80-120 hours anymore.
I see a lot of negative comments here and I don't follow behind the scenes so why is he disliked? I mean he was there while PlayStation was created and grew to dominance so can we really think this guy was all bad? Any time I've seen him talk he has been fine. Not a big charmer but straight forward and to the point. Good luck to the guy. And if he was part of bringing us the PlayStation then thanks Jim.
I'll have to try it. TC2 was so close to being awesome but the horrible deadzone and steering delay made it borderline unplayable. The rubber-banding was also the worst I have ever seen in any racing game.
Bloodborne? NOPE. FFVII? Back in the day yes, but I recently replayed it and struggled to get to the end. It doesn't hold up anywhere near as well. There are dozens of better games than either of these.
