I'll be grabbing Like A Dragon. With PS4 and Switch winding down, it's a great time to work on my backlog!

Hogwarts looks amazing. I'd have bought it if they'd actually put the whole game on the disc.

Did they ever fix it on PS4 and Xbox One? If not, then the developers get no praise from me for forcing you to buy another console and wait over 2 and a half years just to get what was originally promised.

The Cult of the Lamb devs are saying they'll delete the game on 1st January 2024 if these changes aren't reversed.

Something else I learned from this whole debacle is that apparently no one knows the difference between a verb and a noun.

Nice of Sony to finally complete the game. Shame it's not complete on PS4.

Never has PS Plus, never will.

Console price increase, games up to £70, a shifting focus to MTX crap, and now this. This gen really is for the payers, huh?

I've bought and (mostly) enjoyed all four previous PlayStation consoles, but Sony's greed has made them genuinely dead to me this generation. There's no chance I'm buying a PayStation 5.

I was really hoping Moss Book II would get a physical release on PS4, like Book I did.

If Astrobot gets a full sequel, that might just be the game that gets me to buy a PS5.

Wait for the inevitable complete/royal/gold/final/FU edition if you must give this terrible company money.

Which holiday? There's a lot of them.

Most of these were £3.99 on the PS3/Vita. Not sure what justifies the literal doubling of the price. Good that ones you already bought are unlocked on PS4/5 though. You'd never see Nintendo do something that generous.

"A physical edition of the game was released in Japan"

What do you mean "was", it's not out yet. Simultaneous worldwide release this time. I hoping the JP physical has English on it.

That has to be fake surely?! Especially with the phone "back", "home" and "tabs" buttons on the right of the touchscreen. I'm fairly certain it's fake, but if it's not, it's a godawful design.

I mean yeah. Most games can be downgraded to work on weaker hardware. I'm sure they could have done some kind of version for PS4 if they really wanted to. This is why I don't get people talking about cross-gen games being "held back". Almost any game could be made to run on weaker hardware in some gimped form. Just look at some of the PS4 games on Switch. It doesn't mean that the PS5 version of a cross-gen game has necessarily been held back in some way.

Poor baby Sony once again can't handle the same grown-up themes as Microsoft and Nintendo, apparently.

Genuinely sounds pretty good, but remember when people actually thought that publishers raising game prices to £70 would reduce microtransactions?

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.
