Some comments here don't make much sense. First of all Capcom released this year Monster Hunter Rise to critical and commercial success. Also last year the released at least two games with the same success according to their expectations in form of RE Village and Monster Hunter Stories 2.
Also most of their games recently have been released in fully functional state (which is a miracle in the recent industry environment) and in the case of Monster Hunter with continuous free support and a new strong DLC.
Not only Capcom's recent success is not surprising, it's also deserved.
So, from Persona 5 to Royal an extra £50 and for this version an extra £50 or £70 maybe? At least £150 to play the same game every time it upgrades, SEGA is disgusting.
They're platform exclusives, it wouldn't make much sense. But if Sony did this, it would've been much smarter to delay Horizon Forbidden West because Elden Ring obliterated its sales.
All of them were solid, none of them were amazing. Overall I liked Sony's presentation a tad more than Nintendo's, but I like to keep my expectations in check. No boarding on the hype train for me.
Totally understandable. It's Dark Souls with some classic Open World features, good and bad. For example it has huge unique and beautiful areas, but some repetitive content like the catacombs.
It's my favourite Souls game and one of my favourite games of all time, but it's definitely not for everyone and it has its flaws.
@marty8370 The point is Sony is trying to sell something for way more than it should be sold. But thanks for the tip, you're so clever. I hope one day I grow up to be as cool as you are.
And a reminder to all the people that say we're complaining about "free games", it's a subscription service. They're by no means free and if you stop paying you lose access to these games.
Aside from the "woke" not "woke" argument that I don't want to touch with a ten foot pole, the game looks a bit dated and everything about it looks just ok.
I could be wrong, but it's looking like another average open world game with not much new to offer.
To me it feels like he made a deal and it didn't work out as well as he wanted and now he's crying about it. These 3 months don't make that much of a difference and Soulstorm is not that good of a game.
It's one of my favorite franchises of all time but almost everyone involved with the original trilogy is long gone from BioWare. I hope for a great game but I know it will probably be another EA blunder.
I'm gonna give you a solid example of a failing. The catacombs are repetitive in design and so are some bosses. They could've cut down the numbers and made better focused bosses and dungeons. But like most developers that develop open-world games they went for quantity.
It's not the whole game and I think it's a fantastic game overall, but it's clear to see the signs of repetition that could've been cut down.

Re: Rumour: PS Plus Essential PS5, PS4 Games for August 2022 Have Leaked
Wow! That's a strong month! Sony finally showing the goods!
Re: In-Depth The Last of Us Remake Comparison Deep Dives PS5 Improvements
If I squint my eyes I think I can see the difference......
£70? Yep, that's the difference.
Re: Gotham Knights Dev Claims Batman Is 'Really Dead'
So, the two most liked characters of Gotham are not going to be in the game? Very smart move.

Re: TV Show Review: Resident Evil (Netflix) - Braindead Horror for the Riverdale Crowd
I'm in shock! Nobody would ever expect a Netflix adaptation to be bad!

That's an ameowzing initiative!

12/15! Best one yet!
Re: Final Fantasy 7 Remake Devs Considered a Two-Game Series Instead of a Trilogy
Can't wait until they release Final Fantasy VII Crisis Armored Core Intergradial Remake Rebirthing Remastered Part XI in 2050.

Re: SEGA Considering Movie Adaptations of Persona Games
My god. Can you imagine Netflix's vision for a Persona series? Just the thought of it makes me shudder.

Re: Rumour: PS Plus Essential PS5, PS4 Games for July 2022 Leaked Early
Crash 4, cool! Good month!

Re: The Last of Us: Part I Could Be Almost Double the File Size of PS4 Remaster
I don't need to delete anything as I'm not going to buy a remake of a 9 year old game for £70.
Re: Square Enix Hosting Star Ocean: The Divine Force Showcase Next Week
The good thing about this new entry is that considering how bad the last one was, it's almost impossible for this to not be an improvement.
Re: Sony Exceeds PS Plus Promise with Over 800 Games Across New Tiers
Here in Europe cut that number to 750 and almost no PS3 games.
Re: A Handful of Games Separate PS Plus Extra, Premium Lists in USA, Europe
Wow, so screw us in Europe when it comes to PS3 games. Thanks, Sony!
Re: Boldly Go Where Many Others Have Gone Before in Star Trek Online: Stormfall, Live Now on PS4
@jrt87 Is it going to feature Jada Pinkett Smith?
Re: Final Fantasy 16 Dev Praises PS5 for Game's 'Breakneck Pace' with No Loading Screens
I have my PS5 for almost a year and I'm still impressed on how fast it loads. It makes even PS4 games more enjoyable due to that speed.
Re: Video: In Defence of The Last of Us' PS5 Remake
If you need to make a video with that title, it means its existence is at least a bit questionable.
Re: Persona 3 Portable, Persona 4 Golden Confirmed for PS5
What a messy announcement. First it looks like it's an Xbox exclusive and now it looks like there won't be a PS4 version.
Re: First Hands-On Impressions of Sonic Frontiers Are Mostly Positive
Suuuure. I definitely trust these media outlets that were paid to promote Sonic.
Re: Prince of Persia Remake Hit with Another Delay Causing Retailers to Delist Pre-Orders
I hope they scrapped the whole thing and started from zero again. It looked so rough that I doubt it could've been just tweaked.
Re: Here's a Better Look at That New Resident Evil Netflix Show
Amazing! Can't wait for it to be cancelled!
Re: Final Fantasy 16's Key Staff Confirmation Is the Biggest Reason to Get Hyped
@WadeIsInsane True! Fingers crossed!
Re: Final Fantasy 16's Key Staff Confirmation Is the Biggest Reason to Get Hyped
Everything points out to this game being at least solid, at most groundbreaking.
I think it's gonna be the first great entry since FFXII
Re: PS Plus June 2022 PS5, PS4 Games Announced
@OmegaStriver Wait? My post was about my opinion, not yours??? I thought I spoke for the entire world!
Thanks for the clarification, Sherlock.
Re: PS Plus June 2022 PS5, PS4 Games Announced
Yay, crap!
And a reminder to all the people that say we're complaining about "free games", it's a subscription service. They're by no means free and if you stop paying you lose access to these games.
Re: Sonic Frontiers Gameplay Teaser Released Ahead of IGN First Coverage
It looks ok. Not bad, not great. I think it's gonna be an average title, which for Sonic team is considered a great achievement.
Re: PS Plus Members Bemused by Potential God of War Inclusion Across Multiple Tiers
Sony's quality of first party games is inversely proportional to the quality of their subscription service.
Re: Sonic Frontiers Is Aiming for High Review Scores, Says SEGA
So their other games were aiming for low review scores?
If so, congratulations!
Re: Preview: New Saints Row Looks Like Fantastic Fun, But It's Also Distinctly Last-Gen
Aside from the "woke" not "woke" argument that I don't want to touch with a ten foot pole, the game looks a bit dated and everything about it looks just ok.
I could be wrong, but it's looking like another average open world game with not much new to offer.
Re: So, Apparently Sony Demanded Changes to Salt and Sacrifice's Price on Other Platforms
@BReal "I'm not affected by it, so I don't care about anybody who is."
Not selfish at all, are you?
Re: Here's Your First Look at Netflix's Resident Evil
So, it looks like crap for people that like RE and extremely bland to be able to attract the casual crowd.
And Netflix execs think the issue is password sharing.
Re: Ghostwire: Tokyo Given First Digital Discount in Deal of the Week
@REALAIS Wow, we really get the short end of the stick don't we?
Re: Ghostwire: Tokyo Given First Digital Discount in Deal of the Week
I love that the price in £ and $ is the same. Very fair.
Re: PS Vita's PS Store Says Content Is No Longer for Sale
It's sad that Sony killed the Vita. It was a powerful little beast.
Re: Trails of Cold Steel 1, 2, 3, 4 and Trails into Reverie are Being Bundled into One Big Boxset in Japan
Never played them but always heard good things. If this bundle comes west I might be tempted to buy it
Re: PS Plus May 2022 PS5, PS4 Games Announced
That's the only way I'll ever play a FIFA. I'll pay £0 for it and that's how much EA deserves.
Re: Rumour: PS Plus PS5, PS4 Games for May 2022 Leaked Early
Finally a good month. Not a fan of FIFA, but definitely would play for free.
Re: Sony Experimenting with Ads in Free-to-Play PS5, PS4 Games
@Steve30000 By his behavior I doubt it's just a coincidence.
Don't know him as a person, but as a CEO I thoroughly dislike him.
Re: Sony Experimenting with Ads in Free-to-Play PS5, PS4 Games
This is a disgusting kind of behavior that has the stink of Jim Ryan all over the place. Hoping it massively backfires as it should.
Re: Poll: What's Your PS5, PS4 Game of the Year So Far?
Elden Ring. It's the Dark Souls of Open World games. (Sorry, had to make this joke)
Re: New Mass Effect 'Now Early in Development', BioWare Confirms
@Blackjay Oh if that's true it gives me a glimmer of hope! Thanks for the info!
Re: PS Plus Deal Devastates Oddworld: Soulstorm Developer
To me it feels like he made a deal and it didn't work out as well as he wanted and now he's crying about it.
These 3 months don't make that much of a difference and Soulstorm is not that good of a game.
Re: New Mass Effect 'Now Early in Development', BioWare Confirms
It's one of my favorite franchises of all time but almost everyone involved with the original trilogy is long gone from BioWare.
I hope for a great game but I know it will probably be another EA blunder.
Re: The 19th Huge No Man's Sky Update Is Out Now on PS5, PS4
These guys went from heroes to villains back to heroes again.
What a redemption arc!
Re: PS Store Sales Charts: Gran Turismo 7 Laps Elden Ring in Europe as Horizon Falls Off a Cliff
@Nepp67 That's your opinion.
Which by the way, you backed up with zero facts.
I'm gonna give you a solid example of a failing. The catacombs are repetitive in design and so are some bosses. They could've cut down the numbers and made better focused bosses and dungeons.
