@Col_McCafferty Funny how Nintendo is supposedly for kids yet most of their games have far more depth (in terms of mechanics and design) than what Sony has to offer.
Oh, I forgot. People who use descriptors like "juvenile" and "for kids" aren't actually looking to play videogames, they're looking for the 10 hour long D-tier watered down Hollywood imitations AAA devs ***** (edit: ahem, "excrete") out year after year.
@LiterallyDoNotCare "It seems people want to spend 70 for great games"
Yeah but who are these people ? And how many many of them are there?
Even if that were true, are these reasons for companies to raise costs? You could say that games are more expensive to make now, it's normal for inflation to happen, etc. I don't doubt that is true but I also question why these 10 potential extra dollars should be allocated to the consumer. Especially when you consider that extra money is not likely going to the salaries of the increasingly overworked videogame developers. I wonder how much Sony CEOs get paid.
You might say it's too radical to ask that last question or that I'm being too naive for the sake of politics but what else am I seriously supposed to say when a pandemic is ravaging the planet and millions have lost their jobs while it's a proven fact the richest have benefited. Yet we are expected to pay more and the entry barrier keeps on getting higher. If sales and deals were the only saving grace, then it would make this less of an issue. But what happens if this is normalised in the industry and companies like Nintendo who never lower their prices come along. Must be a bitter pill to swallow considering you are pretty much forced to upgrade at a high price if you want to play these new games. Much cheaper to maintain my PC than it is to buy a PS5. But that's another conversation; console's glory days ended after the PS2-era.
I sincerely wish to know why you are so strongly defending a corporation of this size without a touch of self awareness. I expect a reply that is more insult than conversation.
@DoctorP042 I don't really buy the "it could always be worse" line of thinking. If Sony plans to do this it will still be bad regardless of what other companies are doing.
...and the poor get poorer. Sad to see companies test the patience of the consumer knowing they will get away with it. Entertainment isn't necessary but it would sure be nice to live in a world where it's at least affordable. At least these days we have more choice than ever! I'll stick to PC.
As far as games released on the PS4 go, NieR:A is definitely worthy of being GOTY more than even titles like Horizon and Persona. Will be remembered for years to come.
I'm glad I live in the PST timezone so the store still hasn't updated for me yet... I forgot to download September's games but managed to grab them just in the nick of time!
@naruball omg IKR sigh -____- I hate it when people don't like my fav multi billion dollar corporation applying shady business practices too.... friggin HATERS
@RainbowGazelle I don't usually mind the bias but when you see them act sarcastic with a game like this and then see them act unironically excited for AAA garbage like Detroit or Days Gone you can't help but laugh.
Where is Asura? Phoenix Wright? Amaterasu? Gene? Viewtiful Joe? Wesker? Vergil? Rashid? Juri? Felicia? Lady? Trish? Akuma? Hsien-Ko or Demitri? Nina? T. Bonne????? This roster is so underwhelming it's not even funny!
@Giygas_95 Not many people agree with me on this, but Mario has had it fairly bad too. The endless mediocre spin-offs and soulless main titles like the NSMB games hurt his image a lot.
This game has it even worse than Battleborn. The latter is notorious and has become the butt of a joke, but at least it's still remembered. I don't think this game will share the same fate.
Played it on PC more than I care to admit, so I'll give this a pass. This port feels a bit pointless to me but if more people get to play it, that's better than nothing I guess.
That means he'll be on PTR in about a week and a half if we're being generous. About time too, since Overwatch was getting kind of boring and I took a break.
Would anyone else rather have something completely new from From Software, rather than a Bloodborne sequel? I think a new IP with a different theme/aesthetic would get me way more hyped.
@bahooney Not picking a side or anything but I have seen NL mods act aggressively to other users. This kind of stuff happens on both sites.
NL articles are usually pretty good though, but some can be poorly written or even misinformed (maybe just nitpicking, but as an example I remember reading an article where RH Wii was described as "making use of motion controls" when it did the opposite). Comment sections can devolve into circlejerk territory though.

Re: The Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales Reversible Cover Is Seriously Stylish
Looks great. Miles Morales is such a well designed and constructed character. Deserving of more games in the future

Re: Game of the Year 2017: #4 - What Remains of Edith Finch
So I'm guessing the last 3 games covered will be Horizon, Persona and NiER?

Re: December PlayStation Plus Games Announced
Kung Fu Panda??? It's November 29th not April 1st.
Re: Rumour: Devil May Cry 5 and SoulCalibur VI Will Be at PSX, Says Hard-to-Believe Leak
I really want this to be real. The same 5 or 6 games Sony are pushing for 2018 except MHW aren't doing anything for me.

Re: Feature: The Promising PS4 Games of October 2017
Mario for me. Nothing else compares.

Re: UK Sales Charts: Mario Can't Quite Topple Uncharted: The Lost Legacy
@KirbyTheVampire Maybe... but this is still Mario. I'd be surprised if it didn't sell.
Re: Rumour: September's PlayStation Plus Lineup May Be Amazing Again
I own neither so this sounds like a pretty fantastic month to me if true.
Re: Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite Fixes Chun-Li's Face
Awful roster. Also isn't Black panther confirmed DLC?
Re: Unsurprisingly, Sonic Mania Is the Highest Rated New Sonic Game of the Last 15 Years
@Giygas_95 Not many people agree with me on this, but Mario has had it fairly bad too. The endless mediocre spin-offs and soulless main titles like the NSMB games hurt his image a lot.
Re: Get Your Groove on with First Persona 3 Dancing and Persona 5 Dancing PS4 Screenshots
If the female protagonist from P3P is included I'll buy this. It's not a canon game after all, so why not?
Re: Rumour: P5R Domain Name Suggests Persona 5 Spin-Off or Enhanced Edition
Persona 5 Rouge/Red as an expanded edition? Another option could be Persona 5 Rumble, the inevitable fighting game.
Re: Agents of Mayhem's Marketing Is Getting Really Desperate
This game has it even worse than Battleborn. The latter is notorious and has become the butt of a joke, but at least it's still remembered. I don't think this game will share the same fate.

Re: Telltale Hints That The Wolf Among Us Rumours Are Fairytales
Stop putting Telltale games on PS+. If it's not TWAU I'm not interested.
Re: Cult Hit Undertale Comes to PS4, Vita on 15th August
Played it on PC more than I care to admit, so I'll give this a pass. This port feels a bit pointless to me but if more people get to play it, that's better than nothing I guess.
Re: Tekken 7's First Guest DLC Character Is Geese Howard From Fatal Fury, King of Fighters
This is so cool. Someone on Twitter mentioned how great it would be to have Kazuma Kiryu from Yakuza in Tekken 7. Make it happen!
Re: BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle Announced, Crossover Fighter Featuring Persona Characters and More
Looks cool! I'd love to see the Joker or another character from Persona 5.
Re: Guide: Evo 2017 Schedule - Tekken, Street Fighter, Injustice, and Guilty Gear Times
It always bothers me that Melee still gets top treatment after all these years. Then again, I'm not a hardcore fighting game fan so what do I know.
Re: Doomfist Teased as New Overwatch Hero Yet Again
That means he'll be on PTR in about a week and a half if we're being generous. About time too, since Overwatch was getting kind of boring and I took a break.
Re: Scores of Japanese Games Announced for PS4, Vita at Anime Expo 2017

Re: July 2017 PlayStation Plus Games Announced
Pretty good month for PS3. Can't wait to play Tokyo Jungle and Darkstalkers (wanted to try this series for a while now!)
Don't care at all about Until Dawn but I'll give it a try. Telltale games are usually lol tier these days so I'll give that one a pass.
Re: Round Up: Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy PS4 Reviews Spin In
I don't give a damn about reviews these days. Most game "journalists" are awful.

Re: Reaction: Curtain Closes on Ill-Tempered E3 2017
Unpopular opinion on this site, but I freaking just don't like VR, and don't care one bit when they show VR stuff off.
Re: Poll: What Was Your Favourite PS4 Game at E3 2017?
Crash, DBZ fighters, and Ni No Kuni 2.
I would put KH3 but that doesn't really count. Mario was my favorite game shown overall.
Re: Reaction: What Sony's E3 2017 Press Conference Got Wrong
Nintendo completely obliterated Sony this E3. They need to step up their game.
Re: E3 2017: Devolver Digital's Tongue-in-Cheek Presser Is Well Worth a Watch
Having this come after Bethesda's presentation was glorious, especially as you could draw so many parallels between the two.
"Tomorrow's unethical business practices today." They've got that covered with paid mods!
Re: Poll: Has Xbox One X Left You Feeling Green with Envy?
Absolutely not lol. Everything they showed is coming to PS4 and PC, so there is no reason for me to get one, ever.
Re: Feature: Two Unannounced PS4 Games We Expect at Sony's E3 2017
Would anyone else rather have something completely new from From Software, rather than a Bloodborne sequel? I think a new IP with a different theme/aesthetic would get me way more hyped.
Re: Guide: June 2017 PS4 Release Dates
Crash for sure, and maybe Tekken? If it's good for first time fans I will buy it for sure.

Re: The Order: 1886 Can Be Yours for Thruppence on PS4
Is AC4 worth it at 12 bucks? I've never played a game in the series before.
Re: Sonic Forces' Classic Gameplay Doesn't Exactly Inspire Confidence
@sketchturner With most of the comments bashing the game anyway.
Re: Guide: April 2017 PS4 Games Release Dates
Persona 5, Puyo Puyo, and Parappa for me. If Yooka-Laylee is good I'll get that too. Maybe Lego City when I can find it cheap.

Re: Rocking Persona 5 Trailer Kicks Things Up a Notch Ahead of Launch
I spoiled myself a lot when it came out in Japan, and yeah, P5 is probably going to be my favorite in the series. It's great.
Re: Review: NieR: Automata (PS4)
2017 has been fantastic so far! Resi 7, NieR, Zelda, Nioh, Yakuza 0, Horizon and probably a lot more I'm forgetting just in three months.
