Hopefully there's a single player mode. 🙃

@CWill97 so not two playthroughs like OP originally claimed.

@freddquadros you absolutely can max everything in a single run, and there's like 1-1.5 months of extra time. You can check this guide for the optimal route: https://psnprofiles.com/guide/7236-persona-5-complete-100-walkthrough

@Balosi Persona 5 only needs a single playthrough for platinum. After maxing everything, there's still like 1-1.5 months of extra time.

Beat the game twice? Guess I'll buy it zero times then and save myself the time.

A pretty bad start to 2023. Hopefully extra/premium are better.

Naw, bring on the new games!

@CieloAzure American TV shows suck on average just as much as British tv shows suck on average, there's just so many more American shows than most other countries' offerings. There's plenty of incredible American shows, like Yellowjackets and Severance, both of which should be having second seasons soon.

I'm honestly surprised a writers room isn't a common thing in games already. Why wouldn't you want input on the story you're writing?

I don't think anyone can truthfully answer this poll given we don't know what other games are on the list yet.

Ugh, another wasted slot for a game already on Plus.

@get2sammyb 2 hours may be a slight exaggeration, but it is seriously like multiple back to back 10+ minutes scenes only broken up by walking between two close by waypoints. Mondstat wasn't bad, but I really feel like they've only gotten longer and longer the farther you get into the story.

@TheMarinePS @Nepp67 I'm pretty sure they delay NG+ solely for player engagement reasons. The goal is to get people talking about the game again months after release to try to get more sales.

I think you'll find it easy to stop part way through Liyue. The biggest problem with the game is you can't skip cutscenes and it's around there that each cutscene starts to be like 2 hours long.

@stvevan yeah, but this is the guy who's responsible for millions of PSN users getting banned after they jailbroke their PS3's.

@daveyboyps101 no, they're not only leaving streaming. If you haven't added the game to your library, it also shows the offer ends for the download option. It not showing on download after you've added it to your library is a bad design by Sony. This is what the other games that have the left service have done as well.

I'd rather pool all the 50 cents's I could pay to buy a ton of these proper games and buy a single proper proper game instead.

If this is representative of the sale, then my wallet has nothing to worry about.

@McBurn I'm pretty sure it was some recent update that made it pop sooner. I never saw a low battery notification for the first year on PS5, but now see it pop up during same length as always game sessions. It's like it pops when it hits 1 bar or something, not even flashing one bar indicating low battery.

Elsewhere, The Verge was given two hours to play about with the PS5 pro controller

Because then the battery ran out?

Seriously though, for $200 I'd expect like 20 hours of battery. Sometimes I plug my controller in during cutscenes for a top up, would be nice not to have to do things like that when you've been playing for a while.

Oh no, I've been wanting to play The Council, looks like I'll have to get on it before it goes.

Good that it has trophies (irrelevant that it's an easy list). I've got too many games to play so not going to bother with any of the classics that didn't add trophies. What's the point if you don't even get a record of your accomplishments.

I redeemed them because why not, but they all look pretty bad so I won't use any.

This is a pretty bad month for Extra/Premium. Most of it has already been on Plus/Now.

I'm ok with a bad month every now and then, it gives me an opportunity to whittle at my backlog that's been bolstered by all the good months.

I would never play a wrestling game anyway, so I'm completely indifferent to this.

@Cyberpsycho you shouldn't buy any US-developed games either for what their government does and has done too.

I'll watch it if it stars Conan O'Brien.

A couple months late on reporting this, eh? https://www.pushsquare.com/forums/ps4/ps_support_is_about_to_get_a_whole_lot_worse

Wasn't expecting reasonable prices for these. I figured it'd be $50 each.

Pretty sure that's part of the painting. It's a commentary on today's society.

My top games I've played this year:

1. Yakuza Like a Dragon
2. Persona 5 Strikers
3. FF7 Remake's Intermission
4. Dead or School
5. Stray

It's neat, though some parts are wildly inaccurate. Like my second most played game I've only played for 4 hours but my third most is 59 hours (and those are Sony's own tracked times).

@Deoxyr1bose Path of Radiance is one of the worst Fire Emblems. If he was from the SNES/GBA eras I'd be all for this. But since he's from the GCN+ era, I'll have to wait and find out more about this game first.

Hmm, so I'm guessing I can't use the cross save because I played the complete edition through PS Now, meaning I can't boot the PS4 version anymore to upload the save.

@Rafie clearly it's part of the contract to say this, not to imply Sony is intentionally making their console the best release.

I ended up passing the multiple invites I got. They didn't announce any interesting looking launch titles.

@Would_you_kindly Exactly there were 50 years of Peter before Miles. Peter is old and played out, it'll be nice to get more fresh stories with Miles.

Oof, that's rough. But I'm already hyped for the game so nothing any review can say would make me pass on this one.

@admeister @Nepp67 I thought it was a flashback. So she had a kid at some point, and then she has the come-back-to-life disease but her kid didn't.

The fact that it's class-based rather a character collector makes it sound nothing like Genshin Impact.

Elden Ring is highly overrated, so no surprise it won.

I thought Syndicate was playable, but with graphical glitches.

Oh no, Rift Apart being on sale means it probably won't be on Extra this month. Guess I'll need to wait a bit longer. Shame after playing through all the other Ratchet and Clanks last month.

@Digit2021 I'm sure the devs who make online games appreciate not having to pay the full cost of servers for consoles like they would/do for PC. Though what percentage goes towards servers vs other perks of plus is a mystery.

@NikCanPlay it's toxic to claim it's completely the programmers fault and not managements for releasing a buggy game. They should've delayed the game to release it in a better state, then they would've gotten better initial reviews.

Not a good move to publicly reveal how toxic you are, especially if he still might be looking for another job in the industry. Not just in gaming, when you work in a team the failures are not a single person's/group's fault for management to blame, it's a learning opportunity for everyone to improve next time.

No reason to, Push Square will just summarize all the relevant bits.

@TechaNinja sounds like Genshin should win then if their players are more passionate to go to such lengths.

It's probably because they gave away too many free copies of Moss during COVID that they figured they won't have many actual sales anymore.

Don't do it Sony! Let's get COD off of PlayStation.
