How thick is my file?

@Aceofmace98 You, too, sir, have excellent taste! I've been there, I've done that!

@KingPev Why thank you!

I've often noticed the same with you.

@kyleforrester87

You really know how to hit a man in the sack.

Edit: You seem smart enough that I don't have to add it, but just in case, here you go:

@kyleforrester87

ok....bike wreck?

I just really hated the dialog, from the grunting, to the sighing, even the voice acting itself. I thought the whole game would be, I don't know, more....grown up? Train wreck might have been too strong. Just not my cup of malt liquor.

I agree with what most of you are saying. When I started reading these posts, I expected to find an army of fanboys outraged that someone could express an opinion that didn't put Cloud in the clouds.

Kudos to Stephen Tailby for having the courage to write what he really felt about the game instead of creating a mindless fluff-piece to appease the fans of this train-wreck.

For years I'd heard the praise for Final Fantasy, but I'd never jumped in until this game came out. The pre-game hype was so huge, I thought, why not now?

Then, I played it. I found both the story and the dialog to be like one big bad joke. I don't understand the attraction. Combat was interesting, a little, but not great. I ended up quitting at what must have been about half way through, though it felt longer. Life's too short to be a masochist.

Cyberpunk fresh replay, the new patch does wonders. XCOM 2 War of the Chosen, love this game but the load times, jeez..I'm actually typing this while waiting for a level to load. Disco Elysium, this game, while slow paced, has some of the funniest and darkest humor I've encountered game-wise in a very long time, and the guy who narrates it is just top notch. So, in my mind, 3 great games with some time outs for food. Hope you're all having as good a gaming weekend as I am!

@nessisonett

They should add all PS3 games to Now, and then combine it with Plus to give them something to compete against GamePass.

@truerbluer

Post of the day, that.

@UltimateOtaku91

I'm slow.

@everynowandben great points!

How many games have you thought you might try, but you're not sure about? I can see gamepass creating more game sales, since it lets you have a 4 month preview of anything you wanted to try but weren't sure you wanted to spend on. Basically, I look at it as the best demo service in existance.

@Shepherd_Tallon

No worries. Your dream is my dream.

@Shepherd_Tallon I could get behind that. If that were the case though, Sony could save themselves all this hate they're receiving by making that public.

@mucc buh bye

That feels so reverse cowgirl.

I'd rather they did Control 2, tbh. Unpopular? Sure!

@Gremio108

Good man!

If a game runs at 60fps in a forest...

I've been to E3 twice in my life, and loved it both times. In both cases, different clans and in heretic 2's case cults that I belonged to (pc online was king back then) decided to go and meet each other in real life. Online friends I'd made from gaming became real-life friends after E3. I still stay in touch with many of them today. I'll always miss E3, even if it doesn't make as much sense now as it used to. Some things don't have to make sense. We call them traditions.

Found just 2 things to buy on this sale, and that is MORE than fine! I've already got more 'great deals' then I'll ever play.

This sale, I picked up Phantom Doctrine (XCOM-like, it claims) and finally decided to dip my feet into Elder Scrolls online. Never tried ESO before because it was my protest for them seemingly abandoning single player games. But I got both of these games for the price of a frozen dinner. Hard to say no.

@Palleon

Just checked, nothing on the PS4 store for me, either. Still has the old ones good through today.

This looks fantastic. The traversal just blows me away. I really hope they can marry this with a non-groan inducing story and some interesting dialogue. Could be a masterpiece.

If you have to buy something, it's not a reward.

@orson

Negative. You probably haven't spent 5 hours in a game that takes 200 hours to complete. There is so much cool goodness in this game that only reveals itself after hours of play. You just make a lame blanket statement and act like your word is fact. Whose lap are you sitting on in the bandwagon?

@StonyKL

I feel you. I'd never advocate for a price hike, myself. It's just starting to look like MS is gobbling up the kind of games I like to play. I love Bethesda, at least back when they concentrated on single player games, and I'm hearing all their games are getting released free on GP. If that happens, those games alone would justify the subscription cost for me. Throw in all the other developers under the Zenimax umbrella, such as Obsidian, Arkane, id, Machine Games, etc. Then add some of the other development houses they've scooped up like InExile, and you've got a large pool of what I consider essential gaming right there. I wouldn't want a price hike, but for the games I like, this sounds like the best deal in gaming.

Bought it this morning and have put in about 3 hours so far on a base ps4, and have had no stuttering whatsoever. This game is not a graphical masterpiece, and seriously doubt you'd notice much difference between the 4 and 5. It can be finicky about where you have to stand to execute prompts. Not a big deal, though. The dialogue is great. It's a slow paced game so far, I'd call it a comedic graphic novel/old school rpg. I'm having a great time with it so far.

@LiamCroft

THIS playstation fan does have a business degree, and doesn't see anything fundamentally unsound about sony buying MM and adding dreams to pre-loaded software on new consoles. It's funny that you'd write an article disagreeing with some of your users posts, and then try to tie that to an imaginary level of education. I gave you the benefit of the doubt for a long time, but sometimes you can really come across as an arrogant buffoon.

@rpg2000

You're right, but from my understanding of all it includes, a price hike wouldn't be completely unjustified, maybe. If they really intend to include all AAA games on it, it seems to me like it would still be a great deal even if they double the price. I just don't understand how they plan to sustain it over the long haul.

@HuJack007 That's absurd.

@KingPev

I do believe you're on to something here!

@TrueAssassin86x

Gamepass seems like a great deal, almost too good to be true. I can't wait till I can find an X to try it out for myself.

@Northern_munkey

A drain on resources seems to me, in this instance, to mean they could keep probably at most 3 people on the payroll, at not much more than minimum wage, and still be able to cater to all ps1 and ps2 digital storefront needs. Sony isn't a small company, and it would seem they owe their fans at least this.

Downloading the patch right now. 3 hours, that's a lot of patch. They could have walked away from this, but they haven't. Some of you seem so wounded you'll never forgive them anyway. It's too bad for some of you who won't end up giving the game a chance. There's a great game hidden here.

@orson you are wrong.

@Ear_wiG So right.

@KingPev

Agree with you, it's one of the best games I've played.

What a long and glorious read that was! These guys have been busy! Can't wait to jump back in!

@lacerz

Yeah, courageous effort for that lone 'dozer, but I have a sneaking suspicion they're going to have to recruit a bit more help.

@lacerz LOL! That's what I'm talking about!

Well, at least they have that one bulldozer working on it. Shouldn't take more than a decade or so to dislodge it considering the vast manpower they were showing on the news.

It's a shame to have such a great license and not put in the effort to make as great a game as possible. Not sure if the studio wasn't up to the task or if the publisher just wanted to cash in. Either way, it's a shame for Marvel.

@Loftimus @TrueAssassin86x

You're right, I was looking at deluxe edition, I guess. Maybe I will get RE8 on release, then, as long as the PS5 upgrade is free. Thanks!

Used to love Civilization. Seems they dumb it down with every release, though. Don't think this would be a great plus game, just because the kind of people who like it already have it, and the rest probably won't like it.

@kyleforrester87

Thanks for the screens, dude. The subject matter strikes me as a little depressing for a strategy game, but those screenshots actually make me interested. They look great, love the detail.

Awesome! Best news of the day! This series is my personal all-time-favorite turn-based strategy series, even though it runs like crap on my PS4. Looking forward to playing this!

I'm bored, so a breakdown:

First, as noted by @ApostateMage, Disco Elysium on I think March 30? Anyway, a must buy.

April 30, Returnal: I'd buy this day one if I had a PS5. I'll save a little money by not having one yet, but I won't be happy about it.

May 7, Resident Evil Village: I won't pay 70 for a PS4 version of this. Again, I'll wait till I have a 5 and hopefully a price drop. These are typically short games, so I don't mind waiting, but around this time I'll start sweating not having a 5.

April 1, Outriders: I want to like this, but had troubles with the demo and read some negative things, so I'll wait on many reviews of the final version and make my decision then.

April 23, Nier Replicant: Must buy.

April 30, Cthulhu Saves Christmas: Come on, PushSquare, you owe it to yourselves and us to review this based on name alone.

May 14, a huge potential spending spree day! Mass Effect Legendary Edition: Day one must-buy-physical game for me. Subnautica Below Zero: Very crafty, Sony, as I've liked what I've played of the original so far. Will probably wait a bit on this, because it has the misfortune to come out on the same day as Deathloop and Mass Effect: Gluttony Edition. Deathloop: Despite my misgivings about game type, I'm going to trust Arcane and get this day one. Bittersweet, because it may be the last Arcane game to see the PlayStation.

May 25, Biomutant, which I was more excited for a few years ago than I am now, but will probably buy if reviews are positive. Also, as mentioned by @Ralizah, Nocturne HD hits on this day. A few people have done a wonderful job of selling me on this one based on my enjoyment of the type of gameplay they've described, so thanks for that.

Lastly, I hope that by this time, the end of May, I'll finally be able to get a PS5 and Xbox Series X by just plunking my money down on a store counter. I WANT to be broke by the end of May!

Oh god...May's going to be expensive.

Some part of your fact checking is wrong. While the 3 seconds of gameplay looked like XCOM, you said this game is a real-time strategy game, which XCOM absolutely is not. XCOM is turn based, nothing like real time.

@HotGoomba Good take!

I was going to say something like this, too.
Some sort of Old Testament age, at least.
