The overall numbers will go down to combat the increased revenue so is it really a win for them in the end?
This is why we must never ever have "loyalty" to a corporation. Only use them as long as they are useful to you. Once that stops, abandon ship with haste.
The Saints Row Reboot ironically ended the franchise and developer.
They actively ignored fans wishes and the game bombed as a result. It would be disingenuous to say i'm shocked but I am grateful for the OG Saints Row 1 & 2
That's why I've never managed to get into them. I like games that show me a 100% list and I can choose what to do or ignore. Once its completed, I move on or play the multiplayer from time to time.
People underestimate how the vast majority of gamers are not on places like here or Reddit. They casually play games.
There is a reason Fifa & COD are almost always the best selling games of the year. People want to play what they know when they have some free time and those 2 are as recognizable as they come to gamers and non gamers.
My thoughts exactly. If you wanted to use remote play, your phone, tablet, laptop or any screen you likely already have is there so all you need is your controller.
$200 is an expensive accessory for something that has literally 1 purpose.
PS4 has to be the most supported console of all time. Its close to 10 years old and has still been receiving major releases in its 10th year (Hogwarts Legacy, Resident Evil 4 Remake, MGS Collection etc)
A PS Plus Premium Subscription and a $100 or cheaper used PS4 is insane value for someone new to gaming.
The sad reality is gamers have shown they don't care about these practices so although we on here may be outraged, I fully expect this port to sell well on PS4/5 and especially Nintendo Switch.
Gamers tolerated GTA 5 on PS4 and then tolerated Shark Cards and then tolerated GTA 5 now PS5 and now GTA Plus and it still continues to sell like hotcakes.
He is laughing at us because he knows once the rage passes, it will still bring in many more millions.

Re: Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection PS4 Will Launch Alongside PS5 Version on 24th October
Will wait to see the state of these remasters before dabbling in it.
Konami is Konami afterall.
Re: Preview: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Has a Playable Sephiroth
Day 1 Purchase and going for the platinum
Re: CDPR Recommends a Fresh Save for the Best Cyberpunk 2077 2.0, Phantom Liberty Experience
Release First

Modern Gaming.
Re: PS3 Classics Oblivion and Fallout 3 are Reportedly Being Remastered
Wouldn't bet on these coming to Playstation.
Starfield didn't and future Betheseda games are most likely not going to either.
Re: Xbox Poised to Borrow from PS5's DualSense Controller
All companies do this. Apple copies Samsung. Sony copies Xbox.
Imitation is the greatest form of flattery
Re: If It Wasn't Obvious, The Elder Scrolls 6 Will Skip PlayStation
This was always going to happen the second they bought Betheseda.
Re: NBA 2K24 (PS5) - Stunning Sports Game Wants You to Spend
This is a gambling simulator disguised as basketball.
Re: Hands On: Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 Update Is an Outstanding, Game-Changing Overhaul
Release broken
Patch later
Thats the AAA gaming motto.
Re: Marvel's Spider-Man 2 the Big Winner from State of Play
Spider-Man is easily the more recognizable IP so this is not surprising at all.
Game is going to sell 5+million in the first week
Re: Preview: Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Plays Like PS5 Superhero Perfection
Twas my 1st ever platinum. This is a day 1 buy
Re: Final Fantasy 7 Remake Crosses the 7 Million Copies Sold Mark
When is the last time Square Enix were actually happy with the sales of a game?
Their expectations appear to be unrealistic.
Re: Secret PS5 Firmware Update Feature Spotlights Your Wall of Shame
Uncharted 4 Multiplayer - 960 Hours
The Witcher 3 - 170 Hours
Final Fantasy X Remaster -154 Hours (Platinum)
I mainly play single player games but love the multiplayer for Uncharted 4. Reckon most of my games are in the 30-40 hour range.
Re: GTA Online's 10th Anniversary Recognised with Free GTA 5 Threads
The fact this is all they do for a 10 year anniversary is beyond pathetic.
But then again, they have no incentive to try harder when people continue to buy the game and pay shark cards regardless.
A shareholder's wet dream.
Re: Square Enix Reveals Where Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Will End
Day 1 buy.
No need to watch any trailer
Re: Round Up: What Was Announced During Sony's State of Play Livestream for September 2023?
2023 has truly spoilt us with games.
Re: PS5 Discounts Keep Console, Accessories Selling Gangbusters in the UK
Red Dead Redemption 1 selling like hotcakes just goes to show that people on websites like these are the VAST minority when it comes to gamers.
People complained about the $50 price tag and the masses have shown they don't mind it. These practices shall sadly continue.
Re: Looks Like One of PS5's Best Games Is Getting a Complete Edition
@TabulaRasa
Technically not even a PS5 exclusive as I beat this on my PS4.
Re: UK Sales Charts: Starfield Soars While Mortal Kombat Hype Brings Back 11
Well done to Betheseda and Microsoft
Very impressive considering the UK is Sony dominant. Competition is good for us the consumers so long may they battle it out for supremacy
Re: Rumour: Six PS Plus Extra Games Leaked Ahead of September Announcement
NieR Replicant alone makes it a good Extra lineup
Re: Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters Surpass a Combined 3 Million Sales
@Bionic-Spencer
Came here to make this same comment lol. I can't remember the last time Square-Enix were publicly happy about the sales for a game.
Re: Three More PS Plus Essential Games Are Available to Download Now
Currently playing and loving Lost Judgment, have no desire to play these so hard pass for this month.
Re: Three More PS Plus Essential Games Are Available to Download Now
@Cikajovazmaj
Can't patch a terrible story and broken gameplay mechanics.

Your dedication to saying "word up son" on every single comment you make is next level lol
Re: Huge Final Fantasy 16 Update as Patch 1.10 Adds Outfits, Weapon Skins, Gameplay Changes; Two DLCs Now in Development
FF16 Complete Edition going to be stacked
Re: Reminder: Last Chance to Stack PS Plus Subscriptions Before Price Rise
Got 1 year of PS Plus Premium left and once that runs out, will downgrade to PS Plus Extra on a sale.
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for September 2023?
Has to be one of the worst months in PS Plus history.

Re: Saints Row May Be Free on PS Plus Soon, But Its Developer Is No More
The Saints Row Reboot ironically ended the franchise and developer.
They actively ignored fans wishes and the game bombed as a result. It would be disingenuous to say i'm shocked but I am grateful for the OG Saints Row 1 & 2
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for September 2023 Announced
Sony reeking of early PS3 levels of arrogance again.
Re: PS Plus Essential, Extra, Premium Price Increases Announced by Sony
Gamepass is cheaper than PS Plus Premium and gives far better perks with Starfield dropping Day 1.
Re: Reaction: Has Sony Put Together the Worst PS Plus Month Ever?
The fact the Saints Row Reboot is considered the best game of the month, just goes to show how abysmal this month is.
Re: Rumour: PS Plus Essential Game for September 2023 Leaked Early
Lower your expectations for this one.
There is a reason its a 3rd party game on PS Plus a year after release.
Go in with 5/10 expectations and you may be pleasantly surprised
Re: PS5, PS4 Fans Spot Similarities Between Marvel's Spider-Man and Promising Upcoming Gacha
@Mikey856
That's why I've never managed to get into them. I like games that show me a 100% list and I can choose what to do or ignore. Once its completed, I move on or play the multiplayer from time to time.
A game with no ending isn't for me.

Re: Rumour: God of War Ragnarok DLC Expansion Deep in Development for PS5
@General_Disarray
I'd hope so. Its going to be 4 years into the PS5 lifecycle at that point.
Re: Poll: Are You Sold on PlayStation Portal?
@lankieBD
My thoughts exactly. If you wanted to use remote play, your phone, tablet, laptop or any screen you likely already have is there so all you need is your controller.
$200 is an expensive accessory for something that has literally 1 purpose.
Re: Enjoy 9 Minutes of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Campaign Gameplay
They could release the same game with a new cover and it would still sell millions.
Re: UK Sales Charts: PS5 Slingshots GTA 5 to Number Two
No wonder Rockstar are taking their sweet time releasing GTA 6.
Why bother when your 10 year old game is selling better than games released this year.
Re: Microsoft to Sell Activision Blizzard Streaming Rights to Ubisoft in Revised Deal
Microsoft gains influence with another major publisher and still get what they want.
This deal is going through.
Re: Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 Also Sneaking to PS4
PS4 has to be the most supported console of all time. Its close to 10 years old and has still been receiving major releases in its 10th year (Hogwarts Legacy, Resident Evil 4 Remake, MGS Collection etc)
A PS Plus Premium Subscription and a $100 or cheaper used PS4 is insane value for someone new to gaming.
Re: Poll: Is 'Live Service' Becoming an Excuse to Release Unfinished Games?
This is why i stick to single player games and even then I have to be mindful (ubisoft games)
Yakuza and Judgment games are excellent examples of actual games. You get 100s of hours of content and feel satisfied when you hit 100%
Re: Red Dead Redemption PS4's Platinum Less of a Grind In Unexpected Bright Side
@Jacko11
Its top of the PSN Charts and likely the physical charts next week.
Companies know gamers are fools. Not even mad at Rockstar for swindling us. We accept it.
Re: Poll: Did You Buy Red Dead Redemption's PS4 Port?
Have it on Xbox for £10 with better performance & Multiplayer.
Playstation users being bent over and shafted with this and based on the sales, willingly taking it.
Re: Red Dead Redemption Runs at 4K, 30FPS on PS5
@XFsWorld
Which will sadly sell millions. Gamers encourage the laziness
Re: Red Dead Redemption PS4 Port Becomes Top Ranking Title on PS Store
@Arnna
Thats how microtransactions and releasing broken games became the norm.
Gamers have been conditioned to beta test games at launch and be drip fed content every few months
Re: Red Dead Redemption PS4 Trends on PS Store as $50 Port Attracts a Lot of Attention
This is why Rockstar don't care about the vocal minority. People will complain and it will still sell like hotcakes at $50.
They have no reason to change because gamers have shown they will pay
Re: Feature: Saints Row Expansion Pass Review - Is It Worth Buying?
Apologies for anyone who paid for this game
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for August 2023?
Lost Judgment alone makes this a stellar month.
Glad I didn't buy it in the last sale lol
Re: First Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Trailer Revealed
@theSpectre
Almost certainly not. They are bundled together. Warzone is their money maker.
Re: $50 for Red Dead Redemption PS4 Port 'Commercially Accurate', Says Publisher Take-Two
