Death end re;Quest 2 The story has really started to pick up the pace now.

I sort of feel like I should pick the Danganronpa stuff up because it might be delisted soon. But I don’t want to play it imminently so I probably shouldn’t.

It would definitely be a benefit to be able to download and play PS3 games from PlayStation now onto the PlayStation five. You’d think it would save on the cost of keeping racks of old PS3 is running in server rooms to support PlayStation now as well.

So the plan is to port over story driven games that end on cliffhangers and then not there sequels?

Already got trials of cold steel 4 pre-ordered.

I’m playing the Legend of Zelda skyward sword through backwards compatibility on my Wii U. When my sword arm need to rest i’m playing Brothers a tale of two sons. I downloaded it from PlayStation Now and I’m playing on my PS4.

This evening I intend to start Death End reQuest 2.

@Icey664 A gatcha game is a game where you have the option to pay to summon additional characters at random. Fire emblem heroes it’s an example. Some of them can be excellent games as no one is going to spend money to buy additional characters for a game they don’t enjoy playing. The problem is that some people get addicted to summoning additional characters and spend large amounts of money without achieving anything.

I’m still going to play it. But they seriously reduced their chances of getting money out of me by not charging me for it upfront.

I have no problem with content being added to games over time. If a game adds half an hour of content a week finally building to 21 hours at the end of the year that’s good. If you have to dip back into the game every week in order to play that half an hour of additional content or it will be gone forever that is bad.

I take a similar view of DLC if they put something up on the PlayStation store and leave it up forever and when I buy it I’ve got it for good that’s a nice option to have. If it’s a case of buying digital currency to get something in an in game store but will be rotating every day I find that bad. I have a similar problem with card packs and boxes that can be bought over and over again.

@wiiware You could take a leaf out of @themcnoisy playbook and recruit people on the forums when the time comes. @ me if you do.

For those wondering how long for PS4 will continue to get new games. On this evidence basically forever. They will just get progressively more and more indy.

15 out of 20. On a couple of those are played all three games that weren’t pictured and so it had to be the fourth.

PS5 can presumably install the game directly off the PS5 disc whereas if you get the PS4 version you need to use the Internet for the upgrade. Without Internet access he would just be stuck playing in backwards compatibility mode.

Final Fantasy 8 remastered. I am enjoying it far more than I did Final Fantasy 12.

His sense of humour was part of what made the old GTA game is better than the competition. It will certainly be missed if we get a GTA6.

@carlos82 @nessisonett Correct Nintendo life gave it a 7. I doubt the game is actually worst on PS4. Push-Square just have high standards.

@nessisonett The key question the regulators need to answer is if anime is a separate market from the western cartoons produced by the likes of Disney and Netflix.

@blacklivesmatter It would be worth trying again. It’s been patched and is a lot better now.

I will be getting Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne. But I didn’t feel the need for any of the optional DLC personas in persona five and I feel no need for Dante in Nocturne.

There are multi platform developer yet most of the games only seem to release on a single platform. Porting some of them might prove lucrative.

That means I can dispense with the quarantine account I put PlayStation now in at the end of my subscription period.

Telling the developer to work on an IP they have no interest in is usually a recipe for a bad game. They should make for anime IP available for that game developers and their gaming IP is available to the anime studios. But trying to tie the 2 to closely together will negatively affect the quality of one.

@Jokerwild12 @TheFrenchiestFry @Menchi Sony was censoring things for about a year between third quarter 2018 second quarter 2019. As far as I’m aware nothing has been censored since then. Maybe it’s time you moved on because they clearly have.

Having got the Crosscode platinum this morning I’m not entirely sure what to do next...

@TechaNinja Genshin Impact.

It would be interesting to know how much of that DLC is discrete purchases like adding additional characters to a fighting game. As opposed to packs of cards were the same thing can be bought repeatedly. I would suspect the majority is the things that can be bought repeatedly.

@dark_knightmare2 @solocapers @RedShirtRod
Most recent numbers I can find suggest that Microsoft had 65 million subscribers at the end of the fourth quarter of 2019. Remember this is both across Xbox 360 and Xbox One.

@Mostik Last time we got games like Contrast and Fez. Which were also on PS3. But the PlayStation plus version was the PS4 version. I would expect a similar situation for the first PlayStation five games on plus.

Nothing quite like having people start to build a library of PlayStation five games that they claimed on their PlayStation 4 to incentivise them to upgrade.

@Darylb88 I’m repeating a comment I heard a lifestream last night. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9Mw4-_PAwfU&t=2577s
Yes I know the video is two hours long and the comment isn’t in the part thats timestamp as PS5 so I might be misremembering.

@Athrum They’ve been manufacturing PS5’s for about a month now. So it should be arriving this year. They just haven’t decided how much it’s going to cost yet. They are probably waiting for the competition to announce their prices first.

Probably in August.
Possibly in September.
October would be really pushing it.

I’m sure Microsoft has a cunning plan probably involving subscription services and cheaper hardware for 1080p screens.

Whether or not that cunning plan will work... It might well keep them in the race but I doubt they will overtake PlayStation.

We certainly need competition and it looks like they’re only two companies who will be putting out full fat NextGen consuls.

@Number09 I assume the PS5 will be able to scale down to 1080p 60 frames a second for the old HDMI 1.

@Redman35 and Private Division is a multi platform publisher.

My guess is that you will be able to buy the original Spider-Man, the city that never sleeps and Miles Morales. For the price of a full game. Or just Spider-Man Miles Morales at the same price point that lost legacy was released at.

@LN78 I think that falls under “I could be convinced into buying a PS5 at launch, but I need to see more”.

@avenovah Half-Life: Alyx was entirely on PC. The same as all their other projects this generation.

@TheTrueSelf I think we got to different endings on Persona 5 Royal. Which I guess shouldn’t be surprising since the game has multiple endings. That also kind of makes it hard to have Persona 5 Royal’s ending as cannon.

A new game day one on PlayStation plus can’t ask the more than that.

Something that’s not on PlayStation Now.

@Caliburn08 The first Tomb Raider was originally a Sega Saturn game that was ported to PlayStation. They’ve been most successful on PlayStation but were never exclusives.

Microsoft doesn’t like paying bag loads of money to developers to have a games exclusive to the Xbox for a year. Unfortunately many developers do like receiving large sums of money to be timed console exclusive particularly if it’s a lot of money and a short period of time. Whilst Sony and Nintendo continue the practice to not do so would be commercial suicide. But they’re probably right in thinking that if all three just stopped then everyone would make higher profits. Apart from those developers who are getting loads of money for console timed exclusive’s.

The original S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is PC only so whether it will come to console without the platform hold of help is debatable.

@Kienda It’s debatable which is the better version. Consoled yourself with the fact that you’ve got the graphically superior version with less padding.

@ApostateMage you use the same account for push square Nintendo life and pure Xbox

@AdamNovice It’s a very presidential style isn’t it.

Online multiplayer is free on other platforms I own such as the PC, PS3 and Wii U. But my household still has an account that pays for PlayStation plus. I don’t see that changing if Xbox online multiplayer becomes free.

We did get EA Access eventually. But the same subscription doesn’t work across both Xbox and PlayStation.

@rachetmarvel So far all that happened is that Microsoft stop selling annual subscriptions for the online multiplayer. You can still buy three months so if nothing else happens it’s a slight price rise over the course of a year. People are assuming there will be some further announcement shortly.
