As much as I want to be optimistic about 'Concord,' Sony's approach to handling PC players is worrying. Unlike PlayStation users, who are often left with no choice but to adapt, PC gamers have countless alternatives. Helldivers 2 showed that even a promising game with huge potential and "crafted with passion" can be mishandled. Sony's track record with live services isn't reassuring, especially when smaller publishers continue to support older ps3 titles, meanwhile Sony is pulling the plug on anything older than few years old. If Sony can't maintain reliability, I wonder how they would convince PC players to invest in their ecosystem.
The game looks visually appealing but doesn’t bring anything particularly new/unique to the table. The $40 price tag feels a bit too much, especially when you consider how many free-to-play options are out there with similar gameplay. Just my two cents, but I wouldn't be surprised if we see it as a PS Plus Essential freebie in a few months
I've learned the hard way to buy physical copies of games after the famous hack back in 2011... My only question now would be "are they cutting online support & trophies sync at the same time as closing the stores ?"
Instead of focusing on how long a game should be, studios should work on their gaming loop, if you couple that with a great story whether it's 5 hours long (11-11 memories retold for the sake of an example) or +100 hours (long live The Witcher), gamers will keep playing... this poll is absurd otherwise.

Re: Poll: Are You Sold on PS5 Pro?
If this console generation lacked backward compatibility, it would have been a disaster. An upgrade wouldn't be necessary for me.

Re: 15 New PS Plus Extra, Premium Games Available to Download on PS5, PS4 Now
I hate it when they put +5 sequels of the same game. I only managed to finish one Star Ocean, now it's on leaving soon...

I hope there will be no fishing-related trophy in the sequel.
Re: Poll: Do You Actually Play Your PS Plus Games?
I'm always giving a shot to games I've never played or heard of (that was the beauty of ps+) unless it's Combat or Sports games.
Re: Poll: Would You Pay $70 for a Brand New PS5 Game?
It can be understandable for a single-player game with no in-app purchase to be $70, I can't see any legit reason otherwise besides publishers greed.
Re: Talking Point: Is the PlayStation Store Starting to Rival Steam Sales?
PSN is focusing only on ps4 games recently, haven't seen deals on vita/ps3 games for more than a year which is kind of a letdown...
