@MFTWrecks Yeah it looks amazing and I'm sure it's worth even $70, but I'm not huge into the rogue genre, so I'm not sure I want to take a chance on it at those price. Thanks for the input
@Rob_230 I can't ever see Sony and Nintendo working together. They're mortal enemies after Nintendo screwed Sony over, and then Sony tried and almost killed them with the PSOne
@Scarla88 It's funny because I have the opposite approach. I'm now buying all possible games on PS5 instead of Xbox. I can't stand the consolidation of this industry
@Feena I'm also playing it now. I tried a couple times to get into Horozon and never really could, but now I'm ayong it again and won't play something else until I make good progress
This was a great read, Sammy. I used to be into trophies, albeit not as much as you, but I just don't have the time to bother anymore. Work and responsibilities have caught up to me and I only have roughly an hour to an hour and a half per day to play. It's unfortunate, but because of that I just don't have the bandwidth to trophy hunt anymore let alone play most games I want to.
Sony getting rid of movies and shows on the PS Store leeches the door open for them to do something with Crunchyroll/Funimation and PS Plus. If they don't bundle them together maybe they give a big discount to PS+ members. Just a thought
@mrtennis1990 I'm not an emotional individual, and I almost never get too emotionally attached to a game, but this one hit me hard. Especially the end. Can't wait for you to play it!
@tameshiyaku Also, Game Pass isn't sustainable at $10-$15 per month. What they're doing is trying to get people signed up for the service at such a low price and then will raise prices as soon as everyone's hooked. So in a sense it's not sustainable in it's current form
@pimpjuice They want to release older games on PC in hopes that they'll lure new customers to buy a PlayStation. (e.g. Horizon on PC so they like it and buy a PS5 to play Horizon 2)
@zimbogamer Sure their profits keep going up, but we're paying significantly less nowadays then we used to due to inflation. $60 in the U.S. in 2010 was equivalent to $71 now, therefore games have gotten much cheaper. $70 is still a steal if you ask me for all of the hours of content you receive. I think it's crazy that prices for literally everything else have doubled in the past 15 years, but god forbid games increase by $10
I don't see what the big deal is. It takes work to optimize games to new consoles, therefore studios need to be compensated for that work. If you want to pay the regular price then buy it on one or the other. No one is forcing you to buy the expensive bundle.
@Jslade You may be better off keeping your One S for the amount you'll receive for it. After all, the One S will continue to get the latest exclusives for years.
@__jamiie Microsoft needs them most and in my opinion it would be the best fit tbh. I'd like to see Sony buy them, but they don't really have a need for them considering they have so many great studios already.
@GADG3Tx87 Exactly. Once Xbox has enough subscribers they are going to gradually start increasing the price of Game Pass just like Netflix and other online services have done.

Re: New PS Store Planet of the Discounts Sale Live Now, 900+ PS5, PS4 Deals
I think I might give Sackboy a try. I was also going for a better sale on Returnal...
Re: Poll: Did You Buy Dying Light 2: Stay Human for PS5, PS4?

Re: Horizon Forbidden West Goes Gold on PS5, PS4 Ahead of February Release Date
@MightyDemon82 I haven't bought physical games in years, so if you want a PS5 case for $10 then more power to you.
Re: Horizon Forbidden West Goes Gold on PS5, PS4 Ahead of February Release Date
PSA: If you have a PS5 buy the PS4 version to save yourself $10/£10. There's a free upgrade for this game only.

Re: UK Sales Charts: Black Friday Discounts a Boon for Guardians of the Galaxy, FIFA 22
I picked up GotG for $25 because I had to see what all the hype was about. I'm not a big Marvel fan at all, but it's great so far!

I've never played a Tales Game, but this looks really appealing to me.

Re: Horizon Forbidden West Comparison Shows Improvements Over Zero Dawn
TBH it looks worse to me. Sure, more texture, but she looks uglier
Re: Rumour: Civilization VI Is an April PS Plus Game, But Evidence Is Shaky
@jingounchained If it's indeed a free game, be prepare to get sucked. It has to be one of the most addicting games I've played
Re: Talking Point: What Were Your Most Played PS4 Games?
@TG16_IS_BAE great game. Why haven't you touched it recently?

Re: Reminder: This Is Your Last Chance to Get a Bargain in PS Store Summer Sale
@swagbag713 Same here on the exclusives, except I'm even further behind. I'm burning through the Uncharted series and then will play Horizon
