I've had a nasty drift on my PS4 controller after just a few months (I'm a grand master in unluckiness), but it only took a few minutes with the support to arrange repairs. It's still a pain to wait for the replacement to arrive.
@SonuvLiberty I'm pretty sure it depends on how many zeros are on the paycheck. It would be a really bad joke to see them work together after their ugly divorce, but I'd be interested in Snake Stranding.
Hopefully they'll pull a No man's sky and eventually make this game as great as it was advertised. At least, fix it soon so they can stop offering refunds and get it back on the ps store.
@Judal27 Thanks for the info. It makes it even stranger not to include both characters in the remaster if it's minor differences. Who knows, maybe Gestalt will be the PS5 version or sold as a dlc.
@SilenceCZ I thought they were 2 completely different games but I looked it up and it seems they are just 2 flavours of the same game. Not sure if you need to play both to understand the convoluted storyline.
One correction though, Japan had both games. Gestalt on Xbox360 and Replicant on PS3
@Octane You clearly gave it a lot more thought than I did. I could almost hear the narrator from clone wars. You forgot to mention the Coruscant variant appeared just after Empxit.
Those poor kids wille have to wait an entire year to harass their parents to buy another iteration of the same game. Why do they bother naming those games? It would be easier to call it CoD 2021
@GREGORIAN About as much as they own Star Wars and Fortnite. This is irrelevant to the article, but the DragonBall anime is made by Toei animation and still belongs to Toriyama.
In the next AC, they will sell bug fixes as microtransactions. Crashes will be intentional and you will need to buy credits that will drain overtime to prevent crashes and resume crashing when it is depleted.
@themightyant I call the macrotransactions. I also call them the plague of modern gaming that started with free to play/pay to win and are now pay to play AND pay to win.
@get2sammyb Thanks for the explanation, it was crystal clear. I just find the "micro" part very confusing and probably a commercial stunt to exploit the many flaws in our brains.
What is the definition of microtransactions exactly? Because some cheap cosmetics are sold as DLCs. And some transaction that are neither DLC nor season pass are definitely not "micro".
@LiamCroft Please tell me where I wished that on anyone. You seem to be misunderstanding on purpose, so there is no reason for me to keep this conversation going. I'm surprised and disappointed to see an assistant editor acting like a troll on his own website.
@LiamCroft They would still keep their jobs. EA is a lot more robust than other studios. But sure, you could also wish for all illnesses to magically vanish and for world piece, but you know it's not going to happen and you'd sound like a beauty pageant winner. It doesn't mean I'm in favour of war or illnesses. Any blackhat hacker should be hanged by their sensitive parts.
Why do some people hate video games and having fun so much, they try to damage whole companies and the work of hundreds of dedicated people? Attack EA instead so you would upset fewer people.
I guess he'll play the role of the turret guy in the first borderlands. If they manage to get their hand of Dwayne for the neckless brawn, we'll have half the cast of Jumanji.
@get2sammyb Good to know I'm not the only one discovering this.
@si2525 that's not impossible but the proble applied everywhere. Shortages because of panick shoppers (aka as*holes), spam because of idiots clicking on every link in their mailboxes, phishing because of idiots who can't think... I could go on forever. The human race is its own problem, and some create more problems by taking advantage of widespread stupidity for their own little gain and don't care about how much damage they deal because they are pieces of sh*t. There wouldn't be any scammers/scalpers without idiots, but there wouldn't be this many shortages without scalpers, so I truly hope karma or whatever BS you believe in catches up and pays them back for what they did with extreme prejudice.
Another crossgen... This is disappointing. I wonder when we'll see more proper PS5 games that aren't weight down by PS4 compatibility. I'd like to have a reason to buy a ps5 once all the scalpers are rotting in hell.
Oh come on! I loved both games so I can't even be edgy and complain for no reason! How can I even feel like a special snowflake if I can't even say something stupid about this?
@costa69gr 50 minutes to late. Goldeney 007 is clearly the only Bond game that matters. Sadly Rare doesn't know how to make good videogames from what I've heard.
@djlard Rest mode is the most likely answer. I had the same thing on the Witcher 3 and a few other games. A friend never uses rest mode and I suspend games several times a day whenever I take a break and rarely reboot my PS4 pro out of convinience. He never had a crash and I had quite a few.

Re: Rumour: Konami to Outsource Metal Gear Solid, Castlevania IPs
@nessisonett Did Phillips finally announce THE next gen console everyone was waiting for: the Bluray-i? I'm also looking forward to Snake is missing

Re: Horizon Forbidden West on PS5, PS4 Is 'More of the Things People Loved About Zero Dawn'
More Ashly Burch, that's good enough for me.
Re: PS5 Outselling Xbox Series X|S, Could be Pushing 8 Million Units By End of March
@TheFrenchiestFry I'm not sure they would manufacture more PS5 than people on the planet.
Re: Godfall Primal Update Out Now on PS5, Adds New Endgame Content, Loot, and More
@ShogunRok is there any good justification why this game is online only?
Re: NieR Replicant Looks Sharp in 9 Minutes of Uncut PS4 Gameplay
It's probably too early, but is there any word of a NieR Gestalt remaster? It feels a bit weird to play all those game in anti-chronological order.

@Octane You clearly gave it a lot more thought than I did. I could almost hear the narrator from clone wars. You forgot to mention the Coruscant variant appeared just after Empxit.
Re: The Division Developer Just Getting Started on Star Wars Project
I wonder it it will be a cover shooter with a story around a leathal credit-flu, possibly named CoViD (short for Coruscant virus disease)
Re: Rumour: EA Will Decide If ANTHEM Lives or Dies This Week
That thing is still alive? Do we know how many people are still playing? People have moved on to other games and definitely won't come back.
Re: Rumour: Final Fantasy VII Remake Co-Director Teases Reveal at Orchestra Concert This Weekend
Whatever it is, I hope it won't be a strange mixture of absolute beauty and awful backgrounds and texture.

@danlk1ng You don't know that. He might have gotten good at football because of FIFA.
Re: Random: Actual Liverpool FC Footballer Diogo Jota Is Currently the Number 1 FIFA Player on PlayStation
Does that means playing HZD to death made me a potential beautiful redhead heroine in a post apocalyptic world? Even though I'm a bald bearded guy?

Re: Poll: What Other First-Party PS4 Game Needs a PS5 Update?
Breath of the Wild definitely needs a PS5 upgrade. I'm sure it would sell well.

Re: Assassin's Creed Valhalla Backlash as Fans Accuse Ubisoft of Focusing on Microtransactions Over Bug Fixes
In the next AC, they will sell bug fixes as microtransactions. Crashes will be intentional and you will need to buy credits that will drain overtime to prevent crashes and resume crashing when it is depleted.
Re: Sony Plots Highest Ever Profits As Transition to Entertainment Pays Dividends
@Ralizah It broke several records in various countries.
Re: Sony Plots Highest Ever Profits As Transition to Entertainment Pays Dividends
@Areus I'd pay for the whole package in a heartbeat. But at the moment I'm just a parasite on my friend's crunchyroll account
Re: This Is Why PS5, PS4 Microtransactions Won't Be Going Away
@themightyant I call the macrotransactions. I also call them the plague of modern gaming that started with free to play/pay to win and are now pay to play AND pay to win.
Re: Mass Effect Legendary Edition Is 60FPS on PS5, PS4 Pro, Has Much Faster Load Times, Expanded Character Creator, More
Will it have modern BioWare features, like T-posing through cutscenes, constant crashes, game breaking bugs, corrupted saves and destroying your PS4?
Re: Sony Plots Highest Ever Profits As Transition to Entertainment Pays Dividends
They own Funimation/Wakanim and recently bought Crunchyroll. Sony's anime branch is gigantic, so I'm not surprised.

Re: Destruction AllStars File Size Will Be Kind to Your PS5's Precious SSD

Re: It Finally Happened: BioMutant Just Got a PS4 Release Date
@Boon520 Right. For some reason I though it was supposed to be a ps5 game. I suppose the PS5 should be seen as a PS4 Pro-Pro for the time being.
Re: Poll: Do You Have a PS5?
I'll wait for a reason to buy a PS5. Like forbidden west.
Also you forgot the option "I'm a piece of trash who bought several so I can sell them at a higher price".
