Re: Talking Point: Was Gamescom Opening Night Live Any Good?

I don't know if its just me or a widespread thing but I think i'm growing out of gaming after 36 years on earth. Literally 90% of that show was rubbish in my opinion and it's meant to be one of the biggest showcases of upcoming stuff. The biggest thing I was excited for was a 60fps patch for a game thats already out just so I can play the DLC 😂

Re: UK Sales Charts: Sony Dominant as PS5, PS4 Games Claim Top Spots

Whats interesting the most is Madden:- 81 per cent of purchases were for the PS5, PS4 versions (49 per cent on PS5, 32 per cent on PS4). Do Xbox players just not buy games? This is a game that isn't on Gamepass and will be at least 9 months until it's added to EA Play. A system where no one buys games isn't sustainable long term especially when all those cheap Gamepass subs start to lapse and not get renewed. I know i'm not paying £12 a month for it when my cheap sub ends.

Re: Battlefield 2042 Goes Near Future on PS5 and PS4, Out in October

I wonder if the same people complaining that Sony charging £69.99 for the new games will have anything to say about this game. The Ultimate Edition (the one you need to get if you want all of the 1st year of content) is £110. You'll be expected to drop further coin after the first year and all the goods skins that they don't put in the battle passes.

Re: Technical Issues Restrict Biomutant to Just 1080p, 60fps on PS5

@munstre Days Gone, God Of War, Crysis Remastered, Ghost of Tsushima, Ratchet & Clank, Remnant: From the Ashes, Rocket League, Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order, Divison 2, Last Of Us 2. All PS4 games that run in backwards compatibility mode on PS5 that all run and look significantly better thanks to the developers putting in the work. These are just off the top of my head i'm sure there are more. God Of War is a great example, the difference after the PS5 patch was amazing work.

Re: Lost Judgment Seems to Have a Season Pass and Story DLC

Smash41

This is what will inevitably happen to all games now Gamepass is popular. I can guarantee lots of Xbox owners will be saying to themselves "I wont buy this as it'll be on Gamepass eventually" Developers need to make up that revenue from those lost sales. This is why I laugh when people complain about Sony games being £70 (but who really pays that anyway come on|!) At least those games are fully fleshed out and not riddled with "micro" transactions and season passes (often announced way before the game is finished and shipped!)

Re: UK Sales Charts: PS5 Roguelike Returnal Off to Slower Start Than Other Sony Exclusives

I got this on disc and have already sold it. I don't have the time with work to dedicate 3-4 hour sessions to a run. Its also frustratingly hard. 60% of the players haven't beat the first boss after the first weekend. I'd say this needs a difficulty tweak before all the casuals join me and decide "i'm never going to complete this so why try?" Whats the point of spending millions developing a game where 90% of players won't see the end.
