My sub runs until Xmas, will see what the discounted rates are then, I don't get a lot of value out of PS Plus so happy to let it lapse. A reasonable increase I'd accept but this is ridiculous.
@Emperor_Rusty a ten doesn't mean a game is perfect, as what would constitute perfect anyway? That's entirely subjective. Breath of the Wild is a ten in my eyes as it took the open world genre in a new direction and combined it with a brilliant feeling of exploration, great mechanics with a wonderful art style, great audio and an interesting story.
@supergurr It was clear all the versions were going to have issues as so little footage or screenshots were released prior to launch, especially the Switch.
R&C can be had on disc for £52.95 from The Game Collection, still overpriced in my opinion but at least you can sell on after completing the 10 hour campaign.
There was a lot of (unofficial) talk before release of how you could use rifts to jump between worlds at will. Wasn't surprised when it was actually a very limited game mechanic that was massively oversold.
They were having a dig at Microsoft for supporting last gen, and they've done exactly the same.
I think it's good MS and Sony support the previous generation for all sorts of reasons but they were trying to make out that PS5 was going to be better than Series X as the games were "proper" next gen.
PC games can look and play amazing despite needing to scale for older hardware.
I get where he is coming from, the bulk of the revenue comes at full price in the first month along with all the press coverage and marketing, be nice if most new releases weren't a buggy mess at launch.
I bought Cyberpunk on release for £50, returned it due to the state and just rebought for £30 and the game works now (mostly).
We all know most big titles are half price within months, I picked up Resi 2 from the supermarket about 3 months after launch for £12... £12!
You know what I buy at full price? Nintendo first party games, due to a. they tend to hold their price and b. they actually work on release.
@OmegaStriver I don't think Spider-Man needs to swing much faster, but if that's what constitutes next gen I'd rather have ray tracing or better frame rates.
I think for players it's great Sony are supporting current and next gen, it's even better due to the fanboys who were criticising MS for doing exactly this having to eat their words.
@OmegaStriver your idea of what constitutes next gen might not align with anyone else.
If you take away the trademark names next gen is simply a faster CPU, GPU and an SSD. MS and Sony might try and make it sound like more but in reality it ain't.

Re: Poll: This Is Your Last Chance to Vote for Our PS5 Game of the Year 2024
Don't understand why this vote isn't a single selection, the only game on that list which I have played and is goty for me is Astro.
Re: Acclaimed PS5 Platformer Astro Bot Really Couldn't Be Selling Any Better
@Deljo I love so many Mario games but Astro bot beats Odyssey & Wonder for me, it's close with Mario 3D World which is one of my all time favs.
Re: Acclaimed PS5 Platformer Astro Bot Really Couldn't Be Selling Any Better
My game of the year. Absolutely stunning work from Team Asobi, I loved Astro's playroom and this is exactly what I'd hoped for.

@KidBoruto at least until the servers get switched off at some point.

Re: Poll: Do You Want Even More PS5 Marvel Games from Sony?
I'd be up for more but needs to be quality over quantity.
I'm sure most will make money regardless but Sony need to keep the excellent standards they have for first party single player experiences.

Re: Poll: Are You Sold on Horizon Forbidden West?
Looks very good, not paying £70, more than happy to wait a few months after release until the price drops.

Re: dbrand Reveals Black PS5 Faceplates Because You Assholes Can Install Them
@Total_Weirdo this is already an issue what with the PS5 being white and the controller grey.
