I get the environmental benefits of digital gaming, but we're already f***ed anyway, so I don't see much point in trying anymore.

@NEStalgia @K1LLEGAL It was Asda that was owned by Walmart for a time, but they sold it in 2021.

So the usual money grubbing from Atlus. Due to this crap, I don't buy their games anymore.

Personally I'd like them to improve the ending. I was loving the game, and then it all fell apart with an incredibly weak ending that just destroyed any motivation I had to go back to the game.

Sony seem intent on pumping out lots of hardware right now. Maybe they should make some games to go along with them too.

It's €29.99, not $. It's a European publisher.

Same with Fall Guys too, if anyone's interested. I assume all Epic games are affected. Scum.

@naruball Well, it's free-to-play, so the gameplay loops will be designed to try to extract as much money from the player as possible. So for me, that will be garbage gameplay, or at the very least, it won't be as enjoyable as more traditional games. I don't want to be constantly begged at when I'm trying to play.

We're supposed to pre-order free-to-play garbage now? Absolute madness.

"goes on to explain the concept of infinity and concludes that once players have finished the game you may “even be enticed to provide a subtitle of your own”."

I think you're still confused, he talks about adding your own subtitle to the Japanese release.

Expect more microtransaction-ridden trash then.

Well duh. But people are obsessed with needing new games to have 4K, 60fps+, and (checks notes for current flavour of the month) ray-tracing, and whatever other graphical nonsense. Otherwise it's "lazy" or not good enough, regardless of story, gameplay, music, characters, world, etc. Consoles have been powerful enough to make amazing games for years now, but it's never good enough for long.

Watch them sell the missing content as DLC. Atlus are such a disgusting company. Stop supporting them.

I'd rather see a Revelations 3!

Absolutely disgusting. The Lego group have apparently shown their true colours here, and should be ashamed of themselves. It's a full-priced kids game, with multiple DLC "seasons", and aggressive micro-transactions! It's seriously impacted my view of Lego as a company.

So the £100 micro-transaction ridden hell game requires online as well, and they can't even get that right. Even before this nonsense I was disgusted by Lego for this game, but this is just hilarious. More money than brains cells, if you buy this trash.

@kyleforrester87 Weird, eh? I also only got the dispatch email from TheGameCollection on the day of release, but thankfully it did arrive that day. I'd checked the previous night on my order history, and it did say "shipped" on the Thursday.

I remember it being a good story, but bad game.

Great games don't sell consoles? So how did Nintendo and Sony become market leaders?! Must be all the terrible games they made. People bought their consoles for those. Idiot.

Sony are just so damn greedy these days.

I loved the game to begin with, but unfortunately the ending really brought it down. There's one cool twist, and it feels like the plot is building up to something, only to go absolutely nowhere and end on a whimper. Such a disappointment. Unfortunately, I probably won't bother with the DLC, as I reckon I'll have sold the game by then.

So Sony are going to continue to make zero games worth buying a PS5 for. Good to know I still don't need to buy one

Don't you need to make some games first, Sony?

@LeeHarveyOzgod Well duh. Not sure what that non-statement has to do with anything I said. But you do seem to be on some crazy tirade here against anyone not rolling over and accepting the gaming industy's latest gouging.

These kinda things used to be free cheat codes. But of course, the industry charges extea for them now. Just like paying extra for the original soundtrack that already existed, or for extra costumes which used to be unlockable by playing the game.

Yeah, should have been free in the first place, considering this was already a re-release. It's what made me decide to not get the game. Now I might actually buy it since the DLC is all free.

So make the new gen version open-world, and make the older versions not open-world? They did that with Lego Batman 2 on the Wii; lots of extra loading screens there.

Edit: Ah, beaten to it by @sjbsixpack

Don't be stupid enough to spend money on a beta then. Companies wouldn't do this if people weren't so happy to pay to be game tester. Companies used to pay people for that.

So the remake didn't even include all the original content?

Would have been nice if this PlayStation website had actually done a review of the PS4 version.

I loved this game, so it's great to have another excuse to go back! Really looking forward to the jukebox, and story DLC later!

Any gyroscope aiming, or is just sticks?

@Sakisa Do you know what the Fight'N Rage update did? I can't find an update anywhere online.

Wow, that's a popular coaster.

I never understood this particular craze. They're so ugly with the big black eyes, and look nothing like the characters they're supposed to represent.

So like, are Sony going to make some exclusives for the PS5 or...

If this had been a proper couch gaming release, and not free-to-play, I'd have probably bought it.

If it's free, I'll be all over it!

@thefourfoldroot1 How much are you wanting off the price? I think it's been on sale in Europe anyway, at least 3 times.

What's the point in not showing gameplay? It's probably a cool game, but many people won't bother to take the extra step to actively seek out gameplay footage.

EDIT: Had a look at some gameplay footage. Looks ace! I'll definitely keep an eye on this.

Looks awesome to me! Level up a squad of cards, making the GAME more fun to play? Brilliant. I'm glad RGG studio still know what games are, and how to make them fun to play.

@EVIL-C I'm at least interested in Resi 4 because it looks to be doing a lot of new stuff. It's also an older game in the first place. When a remake is basically the same game again though, I don't see the point.

@EVIL-C @AdamNovice Okay, fair.
£70 remasters and remakes with shinier graphics. Wow. What a generation...

£70 remasters. Wow. What an exciting generation...

Makes sense. The original game was a great story with crap gameplay. Making it purely a narrative only plays to its strengths.

@somnambulance @Ralizah I'm glad you two enjoyed NSMBU. For me, it was completely unmemorable and boring. Couldn't tell you about a single level other than the one with the Van Gogh background. Every NSMB game just fuses together in my head; they're all the same. Loved DK: Tropical Freeze on the other hand. And the 2D Raymans were great platformers.

@Octane I'll never understand it. The 2D "new" Marios are so average and copy-paste.

Well, some games that justify the console's existence will be a good start.

Well Sony always release revisions of their consoles, so this makes sense.

So uhh, what's the incentive to actually buy a PS5 these days? Genuinely curious.

How's the PS4 version play these days?

@PegasusActual93 It's because of differing refresh rates on CRT TVs, when they were first introduced, due to differences between AC frequency in NA/JP and EU. You can read about the AC differences here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utility_frequency.

Original TVs were very sensitive to interference, even from their own power supply ripple, so running the refresh rate at the same Hz would reduce this interference (60Hz for N/JPA, 50Hz for EU). You can check out more about that here, in the "Televisions" section: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refresh_rate.
