I really don't think it's that big of a deal. 5-10 mins is nothing. I can't imagine being so lazy.

It kinda reminds me of the offices in Assassin's Creed IV.

Google, you made the Wii U look good by comparison...

Thanks! 😄

I'll get the inevitable gold edition in a few years when it's £15.

Why does this controversy feel so delicious? I shouldn't be enjoying this.

Btw, does this mean if you already own it, you could rush to complete it, then get a full refund, so you essentially got to play the game for free?

I mean, this sort of stuff used to be free in games in the form of cheat codes. So charging for it is a bad look, regardless of whether you feel the game actually needs the XP boost or not.

I'll wait until they finish the game before getting it (if I do).

If this is the general consensus of gamers these days, then I'm seriously out of touch. It boggles my mind how anyone could be happy with being so lazy that they can't be bothered to swap some discs over.

Not to mention that switching multiple games all the time, really quickly, is just going to rot away your attention span.

PS5: sells out
PushSquare: "What a poor launch."

Congrats guys, this is the biggest piece of clickbait and flat out biased twisting of facts I've ever seen on here. And that's some achievement.

@ThaBEN Thanks, but it's still just not something I'm interested in. I'm not paying to rent games, and for online which used to be free.

@Subsided I play loads of games, mostly single player ones. Online isn't essential, and I'm not paying money to rent games for a few years.

@Subsided Okay, sure. Call it free, call it not. The whole package isn't really worth $60 a year, in my opinion.

@Subsided Pretty certain $60 a year isn't "free".

Why the would anyone even consider this? I can just buy the games I want individually (most of which are cheap "PlayStation Hits" titles now), and still be able to play them after a year.

@Daveuppercut @get2sammyb Never heard of her either, and I'm from the UK. I don't follow celebrities.

@vapidwolf Disabled external SSD slot, patchy backwards compatibility, this being unfinished, for example.

Everything about the PS5 launch feels like it's being seriously rushed.

I've had it pre-ordered for months. Can't wait!!

Well, people kept moaning about 4K gaming, instead of actually fun games, so here it is.

How much are EA paying you to misuse the word "free" over and over?

Oof, that's going to be a bit tight getting all the discs made and sent out to stores across the world in just over 3 weeks. Especially in a pandemic.

So buy the deluxe edition to the actual, complete game. Sigh. Games are already $70 (or more); they have been for years.

Well, I did want the special edition, but at the bottom of the blog post:

"**Special Edition is not available in the following countries: UK, Middle East, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Turkey, Israel, Australia, New Zealand, Iceland, Serbia, Switzerland, Norway, LATAM, Mexico"

@doctommaso Yeah, on its own, this isn't that much of an issue. But compared to what Microsoft are offering, it's poor.

@NEStalgia Sorry, when I said "Americanization ", I meant changing Sony's developer support so they only worked on American time and forced Japanese developers to communicate in English and during the night there. That sorta stuff. I didn't explain it that well.

@Porco I don't follow the inner workings of Sony too closely. Did all that censorship stuff and sudden Americanization of the company, whilst alienating European fans and treating Japanese devs like crap happen after this Jim Ryan took over?

This has been my mentality for basically ever PlayStation console ever. The only exception really being Sega games on the PS4, because TheGameCollection tend to sell them at launch for £40-45, and they come with nice launch-day extras.

@Shinishii Yeah, I noticed the article! Thanks! Great news!

Also, nice smegging avatar.

@Shigurui The Internet Historian video is pretty much what got me to buy No Man's Sky: Beyond. It's a great video.

I loved the music in the Aeon trailer, but the devs have been treated badly, so no buy there. Tem Tem is online-only, and Genshin Impact is free-to-play, so that's a shame.

However, I can't wait to play Bugsnax and The Pathless on PS4! They both look really good!

@Matroska I'm probably biased. I still love the original, and don't really understand this "archaic design" comment. I don't want all games to be exactly the same. Eh, opinions, opinions.

So it's getting points docked for not changing everything? It's a remake, not a new game; that's the point, surely?
Anyway, sounds great! Love the original, will definitely give this a go.

So basically, as a reward for buying the game, we get loads of DLC free? Nice! Only problem is I don't have PS Plus, which we need to play 1 online game to get the stuff. What's the cheapest possible PS Plus subscription I can buy?

Nah. The first game had a good story, but the gameplay was poor. So I'm not really interested.

It was a new PlayStation reveal; of course it was poor. For me, PlayStation consoles don't really get enough system sellers for a good few years. I'll do my usual and probably get the slim version in a few years with some cool exclusives when they come down in price. I am admittedly hyped for Horizon 2, though!

So, someone sat on a Wii, and Sony went, "That's it! That's the design we need!" XD

@playstation1995 @Col_McCafferty Nah, Mario games are pretty mediocre.

Remember kids, brutual, bloody murder and hatred is great, and love being shown is the true evil in the west.

There's enough hatred in the world these days. I have no intention to play this.

@Mostik Thanks for the response!

Titan publish in the UK, too. Anyone know if this is coming to the UK, or is it US-only for now?

It's pretty disgusting that this needs to be clarified in the first place.

Quick, someone get Sammy a dictionary so he can look up what 'free' means! I bet he's really excited about all the 'free' content on PlayStation Now and Netflix.

@clvr Nah, it was nothing to do with the score (7 is great), it was more the little comments like "where do you fit into our lives in 2020", and " you'll enjoy it... until you remember the repetitive nature of beat 'em ups". Just reads like someone who doesn't like the genre to me.

Unfortunately this just reads like it was written by a reviewer who doesn't seem to like beat 'em ups.

You have to love the free Shenmue theme!

No chance. I refuse to support Atlus for their frankly disgusting DLC tactics.

@Powerpellet This game wasn't released on the Wii. That was the 3rd game in the series, which, yeah, is bad. The first 2 on the PS2 were really good, however.

It's Koei Tecmo! They do this with all of their games. It's why I stopped buying them years ago.

It's a shame the DLC is sh*te. The worst DLC is the stuff that feels like it's been stripped from the main game; which seems to be most DLC, unfortunately.

How. Are. They. Free. If. You. Pay. A. Subscription. Fee?

Is Netflix free?
