Great month BUT, I traded in my PS4 Pro and two controllers to Game Stop for $384 store credit! I bought a Nintendo Switch Oled in white to go along with my PS5. Jan games may have to sit in my back catalog for a few weeks.
Its just a fun game. I picked it up at Walmart because I wanted their Exclusive: "Challenge Accepted Edition". that came with a Hot Wheels car. It gives you a Map path you follow doing races at each point. The free drop boxes with new cars are fun to collect.
What I have played the most on my PS5 is No Mans Sky new "Exposition missions" and Diablo 3 Seasons! Ratchet and Clank is the only game i played on the list. I have Guardian's of the Galaxy but haven't even opened it yet.
There is a bad thing about this new 3 tier subscription service. I did not see PS Now as a stand alone subscription! You can buy PS Plus or PS Plus AND PS Now.
@Bleachedsmiles What is this Value of game pass you talk about? I have looked at Xbox One and Xbox One X for value to see about buying one for game pass access. I have not seen value equal to or nothing to make me feel it was better than PlayStation! If I did I would also own both consoles. I don't say this with any biases towards Xbox gamers or conformation of my choice is "the best for everyone". What each individual enjoys most is what right for them!
I only sub to PS Plus and have from it's start. I subbed to PS now when it dropped to $59 for a year. I used it a grand total of 30 minuts to one hour the whole year I had it, I played Lemmings LOL. I buy a lot of games on Playstation New. My top focus in gaming is single player games! I don't play old or retro games I put a lot of time into them when they were new games. I know I missed Ori, Sunset Overdrive and Cuphead new, But that's not enough to justify a new $500 console and game pass.
Sony is adding a PS Plus and PS Now subscription bundle that's what everyone wanted. Right? Now it's not enough some people want so much more. Seems crazy to me when they could just add both the their cart and buy them as a bundle already!
PS Plus was on sale in the USA this year for 39$ was it not on sale in the UK? Jumping from $40-$60 a year, to something like Xbox's $180 a year is a jump I will not make. I would use that money to buy games I want to play. Heck I bought 5 Physical games on black Friday for $110! Three of them were PS5 games and one was Guardians of the Galaxy. It's easy to top game pass ultimate just buying your own games for less.
All I wanted to play was the Story part, Not online co-op! Lego games are good fun so that works for me. Godfall's choice made this a disappointing month.
@NateGoesLive I picked up the Switch lite (yellow). They were sold out sold out at all the stores and hard to find in the US. Wife asked about GameStop I tried everyone but them and yes they still had them. Grand Daughter will be Happy on Christmas Day.
Thankful for all the talented people that gave me the chance to experience Home Video games. That I also got to experience the birth of home video games on computers and home consoles while I was in my 20's. I was all in right from the start.
The Problem may be that $20 off a $70 game in the first year "FEEL'S" Like its less of a discount. The new price still being $50 not $40 like it was on PS4.
Anyone and everyone can wait for games to hit that $60 price of last gen or less. But many just don't have the ability to do so! Is this Sony's fault or the individual consumers?
As I do with all PS Plus game I added it to my library. I never took the time to Download and Try it. This may be a reason to jump in come November 30th.
After hearing the fan noise on my PS4 Pro for years, I am ecstatic about my PS5. The First year of PS4 I mostly played on my PS3. I was well prepared for what PS5's first year would be like. Because I have a external HDD for my PS4 games I had no issue with SSD storage space.
The PS5 is amazing, well worth my $500. I have always felt the best console is the current console from PS1 through to now PS5. I cant wait to see what PSVR will bring to the PS5.
This I will be excited for this Show. Geoff puts a lot of work into the shows and I am grateful for his efforts. With E3 dead this is the only thing we have left. The game awards and getting a look into whats coming in 2022 is some all Devs need to jump on each year! December is the right time to announce them.
There is no value in GaaS for consumers. Selling what should be in game rewards is just plain wrong. Content is King sell on going content to expand and continue the game in a series of smaller releases at a lower price. Then add new rewards to that content!
Simple cute game I ended up having fun playing. While my first reaction to its first trailer was WTF is this crap what a fail. I was really wrong and enjoyed my time to a platinum trophy in the game.
I buy PS-Plus by the year! I look at its value by the year. I have done so from the start 2 months after launch on PS3. There are many months I don't care for the games offered. But at the end of the year I am always happy and the value is more then what I paid.
@rjejr There was a time I spent excess money to mod my PC so I sort of get it. Maybe I would buy a custom art cover like the next God of War for $30 or maybe not. The thing is just to change the color heck NO. Software is a better place to put the $60.
@Jimmer-jammer I played one factions story on PS4 then jumped to PS5. By the end and my platinum I really enjoyed the game. I am ready for a Cyberpunk 2 and would still buy it day one!
I began playing day one and enjoyed playing solo with zero remorse for my purchase. Started this new Expedition soon as it went live this morning. I am doing the Settlement building also. Long live No Man's Sky! As long as they give us new things to do I well continue to play the game. At This point I wouldn't mind and would gladly pay for some of the content they add.
My 20 year old daughter won a PS4 from Taco Bell. She liked to play MMO's on PC. After trying to play on the console for a year she gave up, and gave it to my wife for Netflix watching. She went back to what she was more familiar with on PC.
I myself have had games I took a while to get into and enjoyed much more in the second half of the game when all the controls and combo-buttons became second nature.
This Saints Row game is still on my buy list. But I have not yet seen a reason not to wait on a $ 20 sale price. I do hope they can convince me to make it a day one buy before launch.
I as a general rule do not buy mtx or dlc at all. Any game that has them has zero effect on me. I bought Marvel Avengers when it hit $24.99 new physical. I enjoyed what I have played so far.
While i owned most of the games offered I was still blown away by the jester from PlayStation. Everyone should be humbled and very grateful for this act of kindness.
Been there done that is how I see it. I always look forward to whats coming in the future! I feel each PlayStation console was the best for its time when i lived it in that time period.
I have played World of Warcraft, Starcraft, and Diablo from Blizzard on PC. I have and will buy and play ever one they put on consoles! Woman who work at Blizzard decided not to quit and took action. We should support the woman who did that. I am supporting womwn that still work at Blizzard. I would hate to see them lose there jobs because Blizzard closed down after all they went through.
Pre-ordered Diablo 2 and will do the same for Diablo 4
Walmart has a exclusive "Challenge Accepted Edition" for $59. It has a steelbook and a real Bone Shaker hotwheel car included. Glad I pick this one up, having fun with it.
This is not about people and what they say. This is not about Best game ever!
This is about Christopher Judge and Santa Monica Studio's. Two entities that have qualities we all could use more of. I could sit in a room and listen to him repeat one word all day long "Boy" The man gave me goose bumps when he said "read it Boy" on the awards show! The Santa Monica Studio's Director on God of War Cory Barlog seems to be a man with a big heart packed with kindness.
Christopher Judge is the God of War, the game would not be the same with out him. I will gladly wait for the next chapter in the game.While knowing everything is leading down a good outcome and compassionate road to completion.
I would have enjoyed a game of the year from the start of home gaming to today more! But the game I played most and paid the most for in all time was "World of Warcraft" from launch to 8 years later almost exclusively on PC. Most gamers today are to young to qualify for voting on Best Game Ever.

Re: Reaction: Merging PS Plus and PS Now Makes Sense, But an Xbox Game Pass Competitor Can't Be Half-Arsed
@Th3solution I could see them going $100-$110 for both plus and now but no way will you get both for $50!
