Absolutely love these games. The world. The stories. The side content. Only on Chapter 2 but thats the point. The substories and side content is so good.
A dense smaller open world is better than an open empty one.
I'm like you. I rarely buy games day 1 as there is always a backlog available through PS Plus Premium.
Games I want to play day 1 like Spider-Man I will buy, beat and platinum within a week or 2 and then resell for close to the amount I purchased it for.
Did this for GOW Ragnarok and essentially spent $10 on it after reselling it.
Swinging should be easy to do that anyone can grab a controller and do it but have enough depth that people who get really good can swing faster and with more finesse.
I love Naruto (Stopped watching when Shippuden finished. Had a good ending.) Played all the ultimate ninja storm games so I'll likely wait for a sale since I have all 1-4 games.
The same way Xbox owners can't play Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, Spider-Man 2, God of War?
Exclusives have always been part of gaming. You now have a choice to make. Stick to playstation (which most people likely will do) or get an Xbox to play Xbox exclusive games.
Same thing with Nintendo. Lets not cheer Sony keeping things exclusive by buying Insomniac but get upset when Microsoft does the same thing.
Its incredibly ignorant of people to assume their way of thinking is the only correct way.
The Yakuza & Judgment games have always displayed the female characters as being just as capable as the men from Sayama, Seto, Saiko, Mafuya & Haruka who we literally play as in Yakuza 5 as she takes charge of her destiny and life and makes decisions for herself to Saoru who was responsible for bringing Ichiban and team together in Yakuza 7.
I'm excited for the game. I appreciate Japanese culture a lot (Clearly as I love these games, anime etc) and understand that the culture there is different to mine and that's fine

Re: UK Sales Charts: Everyone Hates Modern Warfare 3, But It's Still Number One
This is why publishers don't care about the outrage.
Worst reviewed COD game is likely going to be the best selling game of the year
Re: PS Plus Gets Heavy Discounts for Black Friday
@Hundred_Hand_Slap
Capitalism. Raise price by 30%
Have a "sale" at a 30% discount.
Re: PS5 'Slim' Is Now Officially for Sale in the US
If I can find this for £400 (Bundle) I'll bite on it.
Re: Marvel's Spider-Man 2 PS5 Sales Swing Past Amazing 5 Million Units Milestone
Game is going to have long legs.
Christmas is going to push it an extra few million. Probably 10 mill plus by next year april
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name?
Playing it and loving it.
Absolutely love these games. The world. The stories. The side content. Only on Chapter 2 but thats the point. The substories and side content is so good.

Re: Sony Has Stopped Updating PS Plus' Subscriber Numbers
They know people are letting their subscriptions lapse or they are downgrading their tier.
Can't increase the price by this much without expecting some backlash.
Re: PS5, PS4's Monthly Active Users Is Increasing
If there was a FC24 bundle for £400, a similar bundle for Spider-Man 2 will sell like mad.
Re: Poll: Is God of War Ragnarok Still One of Sony's Best Games, One Year Later?
Thoroughly enjoyed GOW 2018 and Ragnarok but I prefer the original trilogy.

Re: It's Clear to See Why Sony Isn't Calling the New PS5 Model 'Slim'
Prefer the OG and especially if i want the disc drive
Re: GTA 6 Reveal Trailer Debuts in Early December, Rockstar Says

Its finally happening.
Re: GTA 6 Could Be Announced Later This Week for PS5
Social media is going to be insane when its finally announced
Re: SEGA Attempts to Summarise Seven Games of Kiryu in Tiny Like a Dragon Gaiden Trailer
For 1min35secs
That was pretty good!
Although I highly recommend playing Yakuza 0-6 and ESPECIALLY 0
That game alone remains one of the best videogame stories of all time

Re: Crisis Core Remake Leads New Batch of PS Plus Premium Game Trials
PS Plus Premium is a horrible deal over Extra if you dont care for PS3 streaming.

Looks cheap. Hopefully it feels better in the hands and weight wise

Re: Sony Does a Lot Behind the Scenes to Ensure High Quality PS5 Exclusives
All the more baffling turning away from what made you successful in the first place and chase after live service games
Re: PS5, PS4's Most Played Games Probably Won't Surprise You
Shocked to see Saints Row there.
Re: Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth's Mature Age Rating Description Is Hilarious
Hope they maintain the seriousness of the main story with the wackiness of everything else.
RGG games are treats.
Re: Another Look at Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth Is Coming Our Way This Week
@BeerIsAwesome
Both games are dropping Day 1 on Gamepass so Xbox have to market them hard to make it worth the investment.
It will likely always sell more on Playstation regardless though.
Re: UK Sales Charts: Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Comes Out Swinging for Number One Debut
Curious to hear the overall sales numbers after one week.
I am going to guess its between 7 - 10 Million units sold.
Re: Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection (PS5) - Three Classics in One Messy Bundle
@LiamCroft
How did they address THAT fight in MGS1? (Controller Ports)
Re: Like a Dragon: Gaiden Won't Have an English Dub on PS5, PS4 At Launch
Yakuza is now a mainstream franchise. No english dub at launch will hurt sales although I highly recommend playing it in Japanese.

Keeping my wallet locked and loaded for Spider-Man 2.
Re: The Last of Us 2 PS5 Remaster Seems to Be Real
3 years into PS5 and nothing even hinted at by Naughty Dog yet Insomniac is about to release its 2nd major title.
Re: The New Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi Game Could Be Making a Comeback Soon
Dragonball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3 was my favourite back on PS2.
Easy enough for anyone to pick up and have a good time and deep enough for people to master too.
Re: The Last of Us Multiplayer's Microtransactions Man Has Left Naughty Dog
@Jswift56
I still play Factions to this day. TLOU multiplayer is so much fun and especially with friends.
How they messed up this badly when the formula was already there is insane.
Re: Looks Like Horizon Forbidden West's Complete Edition Will Ship on Two PS5 Discs
I wonder what the total download size will be on the PSN store.
Perfectly fine with 2 discs to store games. We have been doing it since the PS1 days and if you don't want discs, you can always download.
Choice is good for us.
Re: PlayStation's Push for Live Service Games Hasn't Been Going Smoothly
This is what happens when you ignore what made you the company you are today and go chasing what everyone else is doing.
AAA Single Player games. This is what Sony is known for and what makes them win the console generation after generation. Don't fix what isn't broken.
Re: Feature: Tokyo Game Show Was Everything I Expected, And Somehow More
Definitely a bucket list destination. Love Japanese games and Eastern culture in general.
Excellent article.
Re: Reminder: Last Chance to Claim Your PS Plus Essential PS5, PS4 Games for September
@MFTWrecks
Saints Row was the first game where I had to immediately go into the control setup and try play with it to make it even playable.
Then after playing a few missions, I deleted it and will almost certainly never go back.
The review scores were justified.
Re: Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Cinematic Teaches Us to Be Greater Together
10 Million sold in the first week is my prediction.
Re: Spider-Man 2 PS5 Will Empower You to Make the Swinging Much Tougher

Swinging should be easy to do that anyone can grab a controller and do it but have enough depth that people who get really good can swing faster and with more finesse.
Re: UK Sales Charts: EA Sports FC 24 Scores Flawless Victory on Mortal Kombat 1
@Tr3mm0r
Actually the opposite of moaning. I understand why they are in no rush to release GTA 6.
From a financial point of view, it makes perfect sense for them.
Re: UK Sales Charts: EA Sports FC 24 Scores Flawless Victory on Mortal Kombat 1
@Tr3mm0r
That's why Rockstar has little incentive to push out GTA 6. Their 10 year old game is consistently in the Top 10 and makes them billions each year.
Re: Feature: I Visited Yakuza's Real-Life Kamurocho, And Somehow Avoided an Ass Stomping
I have to visit Kamurocho once in my life as well
I feel like i'll know certain corners and streets despite never having been there in real life lol
Great article
Re: Naruto x Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections Gets Sneak Peak Story, Gameplay Trailers

Re: Microsoft One Step Closer to Activision Buyout as CMA Approves of Deal Changes
@Jaz007
But people here cheer when Sony buy up companies but complain when Microsoft does it.
Its hypocrisy. Its either all bad or its fair game
Re: Microsoft One Step Closer to Activision Buyout as CMA Approves of Deal Changes
@Martsmall
If Sony had the money to do so, they would 100% do the exact same thing.
Its only console fanboys who get weirdly obsessive over a brand that dont realise this

Re: Preview: Like a Dragon, SEGA's Once Embattled Yakuza Series, Has Never Been Better
Yakuza 0 is one of my favourite games of all time and I love the fact this franchise doesn't wait too long until the next game is released.
1-3 years is the sweet spot. You can fully enjoy one adventure (in this case two!) before the next one drops.
Just finished Lost Judgment through PS Plus and I am stoked to play these Day 1

Re: Final Fantasy 7's Coolest Companions Won't Be Playable in PS5's Rebirth
This was expected. They will use Cid & Vincent to help market the 3rd game or they will be part of the "Intergrade" DLC for this game.
Re: Microsoft One Step Closer to Activision Buyout as CMA Approves of Deal Changes
Glad its nearly over.
Competition is good for us the consumer as stuff like this forces Sony to keep innovating to stay competitive.
Also lets be real, if Sony had the finances to make such a deal themselves, they almost certainly would too.
