I can't really blame them for it when some maniac is willing to spend $227 for a code they've presumably been emailed for free

You love to see it. Lot of debbie downers on this game but I always had faith and I'm very excited for it. Kupo!

I am very bored of hearing about this buyout, but I also don't want Activision to be bought by MS.

What surprises me is the change in perception with the deal. Sony are positioned as the babies throwing their toys out of the pram now, but in reality Microsoft just have zero right to buy Activision. Screw their "deals" and "offers". If Microsoft can't create meaningful IP with the many many talented studios they already own (including the 7 billion dollar Bethesda buyout), like Sony and Nintendo have done, then they deserve to fail.

And for the record I want Microsoft to succeed, competition is always good. There is no Gamepass without PS Plus, and there is no PS Extra without Gamepass.

Got about a week left of Extra so I'm gonna jump into a bit of Rogue Legacy 2 after work. Quite a few good indies this month in my opinion, Forager is good fun by the way.

Mixed opinions on these. I was excited for a Persona Tactics game but I pictured it looking more like FF Tactics with cool sprites. And as @Judal27 says Persona 3 remake looks good but It looks a lot like Persona 5 and will likely reuse the demon models.

Not to sound too debbie downer I'm just hoping Atlus isn't getting complacent

The first was one of the worst games I've played in a long long time. I'm actually disappointed to hear it sold so well

I was waiting for a physical version with Rise + Sunbreak bundled together but it looks like that might be a lost cause at this point 😔

It was disappointing but it wasn't the disaster people are claiming it to be

It's a smart looking device but I just don't want to stream games

I've never spent £50 on a digital game

I loved the first game, one of my fave co-op games on the PS4

I think it looks incredibly underwhelming personally

I'll be disappointed if there's anything to do with Assassins Creed at Playstation's showcase.

I know people like them but I'm starting to wonder if the franchise might actually outlive me.

@Cutmastavictory Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate is Mortal Kombat 11 with all the DLC. It includes the extra characters and the Aftermath expansion.

Its actually a pretty good deal, its a great game even without the DLC. But can be had for a similar price physical

@OrtadragoonX I can't think of any bad voice actors in FF12. I'd even go as far as saying it's some of the best in the genre.

There is talent at NIS, but I wish they'd make fewer games and concentrate on one really good one

@Grimwood if even this fake list doesn't excite you then yeah, you probably will be disappointed...

My only wish for this show is for one colourful platformer, preferably by Media Molecule

"Pre-order to get Shang Tsung"

No.

@KingPev Guys got a real chip on his shoulder about Horizon. He can't write a comment without moaning about it in one way or another

@KundaliniRising333 what's so lame about it? They're just teasing another character skin

@Dloki it is a big deal. It's the principle. 1. Nobody wants advertisements in their purchased games. 2. They've updated a 4 year old game with an advertisement for the already best-selling game of 2023.

Also, like every scummy practice in gaming you can expect to see more of it if people don't push back.

I was interested in this but not gonna bother if it's just a code in a box 😒

Bring back my boy Reptile 🦎

@Grimwood what's a "promising exclusive masterpiece" in your opinion? 🤨

People have been hating on Horizon for the past year and a half anyway so it's just the same old at this point.

@Hydra_Spectre I disagree with Illumination being anything other than a mediocre-at-best studio. They make shallow, colourful movies for very young children and the Mario movie didn't change that. A far cry from Pixar quality, even at their worst

The pixel art looks awesome to me. Also the first game was supported with really good updates. Will definitely keep an eye on this one

Wow they really made no effort with that trophy list. Better than nothing though I suppose

I enjoyed the PSP remake a lot, I played it on the Vita a few years ago. As far as I know it's the DS remake but with a bunch of quality-of-life improvements. I highly recommend it.

Will give this version a try one day and see how they differ 😀

I'm playing the hot new game everybody is talking about: Breath of Fire 3 on the PS Vita 😅

Not interested in what other people consider a "proper Final Fantasy" or a "proper RPG". Final Fantasy has changed many times over the years.

I think it's going to be really good and I'm looking forward to it 👍

It's insane what Media Molecule were able to make on a technical level. But at the end of the day I just wanted to play levels rather than make them, and I think a lot of other people felt the same way

Hoping for a Final Fantasy 16 special edition console myself 🤞

Yeah but, did she receive hate because she's Asian or because her voice acting was bad? I don't know if the comments she received were racist, but if not, this seems like a deflection.

Might be something to do with that free-to-play mobile game. Wouldn't surprise me if old Persona characters were part of the gacha elements

This is actually quite a good little game, I completed it a while back. Some of the trophies were a bit buggy though so if you care about that stuff I'd advise making a few separate saves 👍

They just couldn't help themselves, could they?

@DrGonzo who cares about either of those? Why is everyone obsessed with what wins game of the year?

As for not out-selling Elden Ring, you mean the biggest selling game of 2022 that sold 20 million plus across 5 platforms? Yeah, probably not. But why does that matter?

I was hoping for a Crash Bash/Mario Party kind of party game.

This is definitely not for me and any talk of "premium battle pass" is an instant pass regardless

@trev666 You don't have to keep saying this. We get it, you like Game pass. Nobody even brought it up

It's nice to see Level-5 make something other than mobile junk, thought we'd lost them for good

This is weird.

Game looks awesome but I'm a bit burnt out on the Soulsborne/brutally hard genre. I'm sure I'll love it when I finally get round to it, however right now I'm in a very rare "let's just put this on easy mode" phase 😆

Sony should have taken better care of this launch, even if its a niche title. But at least they've been quick to patch it, unlike Square Enix with Chrono Cross

Outstanding Technical Achievement: Elden Ring

Really?

I think Larian are one of the best developers in the industry right now, they've been quietly making top-tier games for a while. Divinity Original Sin 1 and 2 are the best in the genre in my opinion.

If you're interested in the PS1 classics some of them can be had for cheaper if you buy them on PS3/Vita. Wild Arms 1 is £3.99 on PS3/Vita and £7.99 on PS4, for example

Not a chance I'm buying this at £70 when Monster Hunter Rise launched a month ago at £32.99. I also watched some gameplay and was a bit underwhelmed, it comes across quite low-budget.

I welcome more games in the genre. They don't need to be as good as Monster Hunter to be worthwhile, but I'm not sure on this one

It'd be a mistake not to, especially as this is one of the more requested PS1 games. Excited to play it as we never got the game digitally in EU for whatever reason
