I don't really understand why you'd buy a cosmetic item for a game with an isometric viewpoint. Then again I don't understand why you'd spend money on digital cosmetics in the first place
Nope. And if the PS6 is gonna be priced similarly (which I expect) the PS5 will be my last console. I'll be going back to PC only. Maybe if Microsoft makes an Xbox that can run Steam, that could be interesting.
I liked Days Gone for the gameplay, but the characters were written so poorly. His reaction to Team Asobi's homage is pathetic. Still can't cope that their pitch for a sequel got shot down. Get over it already.
Even if they had a big marketing budget I don't think it would have made a big difference. They need to make better games. I play Forza Motorsport with my friends. Because of my friends I'm having fun, but the game itself is just sub par. Definitely needed more time in the oven. And that's the case with a lot of their games. With playstation you know you're getting finished games (aside from a few bugs at launch).
I don't think it's really necessary. There have barely been games that really tested the PS5. So far Demon's Souls looks the best. Nothing has come close imo. And if I had money to waste I'd probably buy a good PC instead of the PS5 pro.
I wouldn't mind if exclusives disappear completely. PS games on Xbox and vice versa. I don't think it would change much. People have their digital libraries and will stick with what they know.
@OldGamer999 For an old gamer you seem to have a bad memory, cause I remember that Microsoft bought gta4 dlc exclusivity for 360. I personally don't like exclusivity wether it's by Sony or Xbox. With all the acquisitions we're heading to the walled garden BS that we see in streaming. It's rather silly to think one company looks better than the other when both do it.
@cburg I just find it funny when people talk about how many jobs those companies have provided while they are actively trying to cut their workforce to have as little costs as possible. And at the same time barely paying any taxes over the absurd amount of profit they make.
I really wanted to like this game. I played the server slam which was my first time playing a Diablo game. But it seemed so grindy and repetitive to me. I love the setting and lore. Such a shame it didn't click
@JayJ Why is this such a big deal for Microsoft fans? It's not like you can't already play these games on Xbox. It's not like this is just gonna improve games made by their countless other studios.
Oh, cause of gamepass you say? You do realize that gp will become more expensive because of this. And that all those loopholes to get it cheap will be closed.
Ps plus extra/premium and Gamepass are nothing but glorified demo subscriptions. Nice for the hardcore gamers who have enough time to play games, but otherwise you're better off buying the titles you like. No wonder MS wants to buy ActiBliz. They hope to get lots of casual gamers that way.
I grew up watching Batman TAS. It was my favourite show. His voice was always THE voice for Batman and Bruce. His finest was Mask of the Phantasm for me.
I think exclusivity (up to a point) and consolidation is bad for gamers in the long term. It really confuses me when gamers cheer on these big corporations buying studios and publishers left, right en centre. Guess what, these corporations don't give a sh*t about gamers, despite what their PR may have you believe.

Re: Poll: Are You Sold on PS5 Pro?
@MasterEMFG Yeah, it would need native Steam support. Could be awesome for gamers and a big win for Microsoft.
Re: Poll: Are You Sold on PS5 Pro?
Nope. And if the PS6 is gonna be priced similarly (which I expect) the PS5 will be my last console. I'll be going back to PC only. Maybe if Microsoft makes an Xbox that can run Steam, that could be interesting.
Re: PS5 Pro Announced, Costs $700 and Out in November
Price is ridiculous. I think with the way Sony prices their products at a premium the PS6 price might be a bit ridiculous as well.

I bought it a few days ago and having lots of fun playing it. I just wish it would come to Xbox so I can play with my friends there.

Re: Poll: Are You Playing Helldivers 2?
If only it was also on Xbox so I could co-op with my shooter buddies. Then I'd play it. Don't think this will be very fun with randoms.
