Not a single Streaming service out there is doing right buy the consumer. Why is there no expiration date for every single game from the moment the game joins the service, Sony knows exactly how long the deals last. And if there are cases were it is unclear, give a 3 months warning.
Don’t get me started on Premium, I am appalled by the offerings they provided so far, given all the classic games they own and could bring in.
I played and finished LIMBO on the PS4 and on the Vita, such a good game. Grabbed all the trophies as well. Furthermore I finished FAR Lone Sails and I tried out Animal Well, ZAU and FAR Changing Tides.
Hard to come to a decision which one I will play next.
Good decision, Sony should put all their big hitters on PC. I still prefer to play on console, since I am not willing to spend a huge amount of money on a PC video card, however I enjoy lots of indie games and less performance hungry games on PC.
I completed Ender Lilies and Lamentum, both pretty good games. Started them ages ago and stopped somewhere in between, as I often do.
On the side I play Limbo, Rebel Galaxy Outlaw and Axiom Verge. Even started Steam and playes a little bit of Desktop Dungeons, quite nice that one.
All smaller games, cause I can not deal with this bloated open world stuff right now.
Besides the obvious missing ui and qol features, i wish they would improve the game library. Give us tabs/filters. If you have no creative bone in your body, look over to xbox game library, there I can easily sort my games (owned, essential and so on).
Worst thing, you can not backup single game saves to usb.
I could not bring myself to start another 50 plus hour game, so I started Bugsnax, on the side I am visiting Iki island in Ghost of Tsushima, I think I am halfway through it.
This hits the nail on the head. Demo gets better the further you play, I didn’t wanna dizz the game. It was truly just the feeling that came up first. Everyone who is getting it, have lots of fun with the game.
Please look up what I wrote, I can summarize for you guys: For ME it FEELS like a mobile game. So no assumption, no comparison to a specific mobile game.
Only thing I can say, I started and played the Demo a few times and in the beginning, the graphics look mediocre and the combat, the impact for your weapon, when it connects with the first bigger enemy, it just felt shallow. This it what most mobile game that I tried felt to me, swallow. Therefore my comparison.
I just finished Ghost of Tsushima, did everything possible within the main game. It took me round about 73 hours.
Inbetween I took a sneak peak at Iki Island and I liked it better for it feels more compact. The main game has just to much of everything. All in all it was a pretty good game.
Will finish up Iki Island and after that I am not sure, I started:
Mass Effect 2 God of War 2018 Death Stranding Dragon Quest 11 Yakuza 0
No idea where to go next.
Whatever you play, I hope you all have of fun with it. Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
Go get a streaming abo, there you can have countless more hours of entertainment for less money. We should not even go there and compare different forms of entertainment.
Games back then were at least 99.9% bug free, plus modules had higher production costs than discs. Today there are way more customers. Look at the sales numbers for Genesis and SNES.
I bought 2 games full price on release in the last 10 plus years, Eldenring and Death Stranding.
There is barely any progress in games, besides graphics. If Sony is crying about rising production costs, why even make a PS6?
After not playing for over a week, I picked up Ghost of Tsushima again, I am about 50% in. In the current sale I bought quite a few games, on top of that I ordered some physical games: MGS Collection, Unicorn Overlord, Pacific Drive, Vertigo 2, Labyrinth of Galleria Moon Society and Aliens Dark Desenct.
Now the only question that remains is, when will I play all the potentially great games?
I played for a bit, will try more later. So far not impressed at all. It feels somehow like a mobile game, the character seems to have zero weight and the combat feels dull and empty so far, reminds me of Skyrim.
I hope we get a Demo, player models looked mediocre at best. Hope the gameplay will be top notch. Not day one for me, I never do day one, except smaller titles. Plus it is 2K, so I wanna see watch they charge for some more „legend“ players.
I started Ghost of Tsushima again, I played it before and just stopped at one point. There is a lot to like about this game. Also, at times it feels very repetitive.
Unicorn Overlord Demo was also very good, I am very tempted by that game.
On the side I start Final Fantasy 3 Pixel Remaster. I will play through the whole series of FF games ( MMO excluded). There are a few games in the series I never played before. Curious if FF 6 will remain the pinnacle for me.
As always, enjoy your weekend and don’t get to worked up over the small things.
Thanks for taking the time and searching for the option, much appreciated. Enjoy the game. I will definitely give it a try at some point. I like the theme and time it plays in.
Thanks for clearing that up. I will get DD2 eventually, I just finished the first DD a few weeks ago. I am in no rush whatsoever, there are so many games to play. It is mayhem.
Days gone is highly underrated. Loved the game. Slow start, but man it gets better and better the longer you play.
This weekend I am playing A Plague Tale Requiem. In Chapter 7 right now, some areas you explore are truly beautiful, sadly I experienced some bugs and weird animations. Overall I enjoy it.
So far I prefer the first game of the series, curious if this will change once I finished the game.
Enjoy your weekend guys and gals and lots of fun with whatever game you are playing.

Going Multiplatform is an excellent decision, widen your audience. Bring in more money and it might result in better games.

I second that, make a poll. It gives a nice overview and one might find a game that slipped through the cracks.

Re: Over 1,250 Massive PS5, PS4 Games Discounted Right Now

I like checking games out for a low price.
Re: Destiny 2 'Expansion Open Access' Announced, Could Be the Perfect Time to Dive Back In
Horrible experience for newcomers, to think they (Bungie) allegedly sealed the fate of Naughty Dogs game, is another of Sonys commendable moves.
Re: Helldivers 2 PSN Requirement Backtracked on PC After Brutal Review Bombing Campaign
Good decision. It was all quite unnecessary.
Re: Sony Doubles Down on Helldivers 2 PSN Requirement by Taking It Off Sale for PC in Numerous Countries
So around 170 countries are just out of the picture. Almost a quarter million negative votes on Steam because of that.
Sony did it again, I think this belongs in the top 3 of ALL TIME stupid moves regarding video games. Sony made history.
Kudos!

Late to the party. I finished Ghost of Tsushima DLC and Bugsnax. Now I am playing Ender Lilies, good game.
Have a nice week.

Re: Stellar Blade Download Size Will Respect Your PS5 Storage
@anubisvel
That's the beauty of it, you just don't have to.
@Torque
Your assumption is wrong, just because I do not go hand in hand with your experience regarding the demo, does not mean that mine isn't valid.
If you liked the demo, it's grand. I hope you enjoy the end product.
I will give the game a chance in a deep deep sale, it just did not click with me.
Re: Rockstar's GTA+ Membership Putting Its Price Up

Re: Stellar Blade Download Size Will Respect Your PS5 Storage
The Demo gave me the feeling I was playing a mobile game, so this sounds about right.
Re: A Further 2,000 Major PS5, PS4 Games Are on Sale Right Now

Is there a chance to see only the newly added deals?
If not, they pulled a typical Sony…. For the players.

This site rated the game a 7/10 and this means I haven’t lived, if I did not play it ? I am slightly confused.
Anyway, I will give it a try on PS5.

Still playing Ghost of Tsushima and on the side I finished The Pedestrian, good game.
Happy gaming everyone.
Re: The Triple-i Initiative Spotlights More Than 30 Indie Games in April Showcase
They likely will put most of those wannabes AAA or AAAA (especially for you oh mighty Ubisoft) to shame.
Re: Xbox Planning to Release the 'Majority' of Its Exclusives on PS5
I hope MS stays in the race for the next console generation, without them we will get warped back in time to hear statements like:
You want to buy the ps3, get a second job or gamepad rumble features are so last generation.
I can deal without.
Re: TopSpin 2K25 Looks Like a Real Winner in PS5, PS4 Gameplay Showcase
I hope we get a Demo, player models looked mediocre at best.
Hope the gameplay will be top notch. Not day one for me, I never do day one, except smaller titles. Plus it is 2K, so I wanna see watch they charge for some more „legend“ players.

Re: Dragon's Dogma 2 Slated for Adding Sinister PS5 Microtransactions at Launch
Time will tell if they tempered with the gameplay to make people go and buy stuff. No judgment here as of now.
Fact is tho, they did not inform the reviewers about the MTX, right? If that is true, F thoose effers!
Re: Rise of the Ronin (PS5) - A Safe, Outdated Open World Game

Maybe you can answer my question. Can you change the HUD, so you don’t see all the map markers?
Re: Big PS Store Discounts on Major PS5, PS4 Titles for PS Plus Members This Weekend
AC Mirage is here in Germany 24 € and the deluxe 30 € (physical).
Is anyone here, that buys Ubisoft games on release date still?
Also if an AAAA game costs 45 € so shortly after release, how can anyone dare to charge us 70 - 80 € for only 3A games?
Outrageous!
Re: Rise of the Ronin (PS5) - A Safe, Outdated Open World Game

In the review you said the map is cluttered with markers. Is there an option ( immersive HUD) to minimize the markers?
