How much does a kidney goes for these days?

It is amusing that it took them this long to file the lawsuit, but as the article said, their lawyers were definitely busy building the case for this one before filing it.

I tried Palword on PC, it's a great game on its own merit for an early access especially after the disappointment that was Scarlet/Violet. For me it doesn't have a lasting value as I got burn out quicker than regular Pokemon games. You can't argue however, some of the Pal designs are really close to their Pokemon counterpart with minimal alteration like colours and maybe body parts.

It'll be interesting to see where Nintendo is taking this case; but as a customer and a long-time Pokemon fan, I hope they lose this one and it'll be their wake up call to not release another sloppy trash like Scarlet/Violet.

Are those people available day 1 or released throughout the game via battle pass or season pass or whatever?

Why the hell do we need a Zero Dawn remaster when the PC version was just released and the OG still looks damn good.

I'm gonna boycott anything from Guerilla going forward on how much they milk this *****.

That cockroach Keighley is so unpleasant.

Seriously? with all the heavy hitters that are releasing in October and November, they chose that window?

Bold move.

Why the ***** are we blurring that *****? Everyone that owns a PS5 that the right one is what it looks like now.

Honestly, some of the comments and comparisons on this news are absolutely stupid.

You're comparing a $700 console with a $1500 PC when clearly the PC can do much more than just gaming. People don't build a $1500 PC just to play games on it. It's a major use of the machine, but capabilities wise, most people are ok paying $1500 for a PC than $700 for the new PS5 Pro. I have a $3000 PC for my needs, but even I'll be thinking twice of upgrading my PS5 to Pro.

It's the same stupid comparison with buying the latest smartphones for over $1000.00. A smartphone has been pretty much integral to everyone's daily lifes these days. And yet again, is capable of doing much much more as well as fulfilling more human needs than a PS5 Pro.

While you're at it, why don't you compare the hesitance of buying the new PS5 Pro with spending over $500 over a nice Wagyu dinner? let's all be stupid about it.

It boils down to the perceived value of the offerings.

It's fine if you're ok with the price being charged for PS5 pro, but let's not kid yourself with stupid comparisons like those. It's 2024, get better.

Almost CA$1000 with no disk drive, yeah no thank you.

My current PS5 is fine for what it is.

CA$999 and doesn't come with a disk drive, c'mon Sony...

Bandai just doing this ***** so they can keep the gaming license for this anime.

"Currently Unavailable" in all of the affiliates link ads.

And there it is.

It's dead, Jim.

I'm gonna post this again as we still have people asking others to "sympathize" for this studio like they're in a lifesaving line of works or something. They created a failed product, ignored all the early reviews and feedback, out of nothing but hubris. Customers flat out rejected their product from the first reveal.

So no, I have no sympathy for these people.

As I mentioned in previous comments about this disaster, they have more than enough money from Sony to do their own market research and trend analysis. Yet their ego and hubris not only made them went ahead with a dying genre (even back then if you're not Overwatch), charged a price tag for it (when most of your competitors are F2P), provided no single-player campaign (on a platform famous for its single-players), or AI bots to play with (to alleviate match-making if needed), and came up with some of the ugliest Marvel's reject characters I ever seen in any medium.

You don't need a degree in brand and marketing or be a product executive to see that the game would be DOA. You just need common sense.

The irony was also The Finals and The First Descendant were a launch success because they did provide something fresh on an already saturated genre. Something Concord yet again failed to provide.

This studio deserves to be shut down. You can virtue signal and feel sorry for them, but don't expect others to.

@NEStalgia It's Schadenfreude and it's funny. The server is also literally got shutdown today.

Unspoken words tones are perceived by the readers, are you sour that Concord is gone? The projection is real.

Concord be like: "I really was a joke to you?"

Don't forget to purchase this tomorrow to send the message to Sony loud and clear.

Wasn't going to be D1 for me but after this review, just preordered it.

If it is indeed a timed exclusive, Sony would've been all over this for marketing reason. MS just couldn't stop lying about their ***** console.

If you actually believe that this is a timed exclusive, I have an X-Box original exclusive to sell you.

I was really skeptical after the reveal trailer, but the more the showed it, the more excited I am about this new Dragon Age.

Now I can't wait to play it!

I literally never heard of this game till today. But if it comes with a price tag, online only PVP mode, and a mandatory PSN sign-up for PC, it'll be DOA too.

@PsBoxSwitchOwner This is exactly what I do for any Ubisoft game now. Sub it for CAD$20, cancel right away, and finish the game within a month or so.

CAD20 is a more acceptable risk to hate the game than CAD90.

Best schadenfreude moment of the day.

Suicide Squad and now Concord. Are they listening the market on live service now?

@DennisReynolds Yep, I actually am looking forward to Marvel Rivals more and more. The final nail on Concord's coffin.

@DennisReynolds "Yeah i am against this game why? I'm not a fan of over confident Devs/Pubs thinking they can follow a very crowded trend while adding nothing to it and expecting $40 for it."

***** exactly.

I have no sympathy for these people.

As I mentioned in previous comments about this disaster, they have more than enough money from Sony to do their own market research and trend analysis. Yet their ego and hubris not only made them went ahead with a dying genre (even back then if you're not Overwatch), charged a price tag for it (when most of your competitors are F2P), provided no single-player campaign (on a platform famous for its single-players), or AI bots to play with (to alleviate match-making if needed), and came up with some of the ugliest Marvel's reject characters I ever seen in any medium.

This studio deserves to be shut down.

@glennthefrog This guy's get it.

I have no sympathy for their lack of planning and going against market research. They have more than enough cash to fund market trend research and act accordingly.

So yes, I'm glad the game is DOA and yes, I'll look forward to the studio shutting down because this product is *****.

To you people complaining about Push Square still covering this game, it's the biggest game disaster for under PlayStation. It still drives clicks and engagements even when you complained about it.

Just move on if you don't want to read about it as this game will still be covered all through the end of the month. it's like some of you really struggled to understand how online media works.

Don't forget to purchase Astro Bot next week to tell Sony that Single Player is where we're spending our money.

Definitely getting the Quidditch game.

@Drago201 lol you feel old?

I started this with Tales of Destiny on PS1

All my Trails games are on PC and PS, so I'll be waiting for this to come to PS5. They can have their timed exclusives, we Trails fans are used to waiting for their game to come to the correct console.

We have Daybreak 2 and 3 still to keep our time anyway.

Trails of Graces F? Is this the continuation after Trails of Daybreak 3: Farewell Zemuria?

@Flaming_Kaiser yeah I do too, that was actually a pretty fun JRPG with an interesting combat mechanic.

I wished there's a sequel or at least a remaster/remake of it.

Did they finally caved and dropped the trailer on PS channel too or not yet?

Definitely didn't want that 3:1 preorder ratio huh?

Mmmmm...

The game reveals started of really weak but the more they showcased, the more excited I am for this new Dragon Age.

@cragis0001 The same reason XBOX is paying millions to market Metaphor, because they have money to burn and out of touch with the market.

What are the next 4 JRPGs coming to XBOX after Metaphor?

Sony has Romancing Saga 2 Remake (PS, Switch and Steam, Skipping XBOX), Trails of Daybreak 2 (PS, Switch, and Steam, skipping XBOX), YSX:Nordics (PS, Switch, and Steam, skipping XBOX), Farmagia (PS, Switch, and Steam, skipping XBOX), Fairy Tail 2 (PS, Switch, Steam, and skipping XBOX) and we're only in November.

@cragis0001 We're talking about JRPGs here. Don't move the goalpost to suit your narrative.

Until XBOX figured out how to sell their systems in Asia, none of the Asian developers will bother developing their games for XBOX because it's a loss.

@UltimateOtaku91 Blue Dragon, Eternal Sonata, Lost Odyssey were the first and last 3 JRPGs ever graced the XBOX ecosystem.

Those 3 games failed miserably in sales as Japan and Asia still didn't buy XBOX. So much so, that Mistwalker Studio actually had to pivot to making Mobile Games only these days. Imagine making a JRPG made by the Father of Final Fantasy dies because of exclusivity on their ***** consoles.

XBOX is where JRPG goes to die.

No one is ever gonna buy an XBOX for JRPG. They've tried this strategy before with Mistwalker studio and still somehow failed miserably.

JRPG thrones are being held just fine by Sony and Nintendo, but if the suits at Microsoft want to waste their money on marketing a game no one wants to play at their system, more power to them I guess.

Although if anything, hopefully this game sales number is so low that SEGA and ATLUS finally learned that marketing their games for XBOX is ***** stupid.

All in all, hopefully this will make more and more CRPG and KRPG coming to the west.

As someone who really loves their narrative settings, I can't wait to play more of their games.

We need more Wuxia/Xianxia games after Jade Empire.

It looks ***** fantastic from the demo but damn, the Uncanny Valley effect is real with the engine.

Hopefully they'll do something to alleviate that a bit before the final release but right now it's unpleasant to play.

Why does it matter if it's from China? the game is Chinese and in Chinese settings. China promoted the game heavily before its launch to the point it's being mentioned in a national TV. If anything, this just shows how much purchasing power China has and 10 million is not a number to scoff at within a week. Especially since this is coming from a single player console game that usually has a tougher time in China due to their preference on online mobile games.

This is a major accomplishment and at least they're releasing their games globally instead of just locking it in China like other Chinese developers.

I don't usually play Souls-like game as I suck at it, but even I'm having fun with Black Myth.

"HoW MAnY oF ThoSE ARe FrOM ChINA???"

Oh yeah I'm getting it. Absolutely perfect timing too since September looks pretty barren.

Stellar Blade, Wu Kong: Black Myth, Crimson Desert, and Where Winds Meet.

Korean and Chinese developers are killing it with their games lately.

I don't usually bother with Souls-like game because I suck at it, but even I picked this one up just due to Wu Kong mythology.

One.
More.
Turn.

When the peripherals are more expensive than the system, you really need to revisit your money management skill or the lack thereof.

@Nepp67 That's why the sales was so abysmal for the budget it has right? Watch you come back with "sales aren't everything though!"

One of the most overrated and overhyped developer in the recent century with nothing backing him up after Metal Gear Solid. Just let him make a movie already and leave the games alone.

Probably the closest we'll ever get to a Skies of Arcadia remake on modern consoles since the cowards at SEGA refused to do anything with the IP. Can't wait!~

I'm actually really sick of watching this guy on my screen, he is just so unpleasant.

So I'll just recap the world trailers on YouTube after.
