For anyone downloading this game, there is a free DLC add on pack with content from the game Dredge. I haven’t tried it yet, but I think you can catch some of the aberrations from Dredge and serve them at your restaurant.
I have about given up on Hollow Knight: Silksong ever releasing, so I bought Enderlillies in the store sale for ten dollars. If it is half as good, I will be happy.
I don’t see the significance of specific titles being added to the lineup when you can redeem points for wallet funds (1250 points for five dollars or 5000 points for twenty dollars). This would equate to the exact same price for the titles listed (10,000 points or forty dollars for Helldivers and 17,500 points or seventy dollars for Rise of the Ronin). Why not redeem the points for wallet funds and purchase whatever you want? If Sony is going to highlight specific games, there should be at least some small discount to act as an incentive.
@Specky. If you mean Dredge, you should absolutely get it. The gameplay loop is so much fun and the art style is great. And yes there is fishing involved, including progressively better gear and stronger lines for different types of biomes and, like this game, traps and nets. Highly recommend.
It is even more disheartening because it looks like a large chunk of that 23% of playtime on games released in the past three years is on Call of Duty and FIFA (EA Sports FC 24).
I’m going to try Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Misdemeanors that I picked up in the store sale for $3.99. I wanted Year One but didn’t want to pay forty dollars. Of course, the new Spring Sale just started, and Year One is only $8.99 now.. Oh well, I guess the order doesn’t really matter. And it would probably be harder going back to the older game controls and graphics after playing a more modern version. Similar to playing the early Yakuza games after starting with the more recent entries.
Wish Phoenix Wright was on Extra and not Premium. Why is it on Premium anyway? Isn’t it a PS4 game? That game and Cool Boarders is almost enough for me to upgrade.
I did not realize that professional wrestling is so popular in the UK. I assumed it was like the NFL in that the fan base is American. Kind of lowers my estimation of the country.
I am still trying to get the 100% completion trophy in Tchia for the platinum. I just need to get gold on a couple of more races and one diving challenge that is giving me problems. Also a little OverWatch with my son and daughter. We are all fairly excited about the Cowboy Bebop skins releasing next week. Best anime ever. The plan is to get Spike, Jett and Faye and then all play together on a team.
@gbanas92. I know this question is a little late, but I just realized that the game is only twenty dollars, so it might be worth it to replay in co-op with my son. Do you know if both players get trophies in couch co-op or only player one?
Trying to finish the last of the treasures and trinkets for the plat in Tchia before it leaves the subscription service. But time is limited because Yo La Tengo are playing a show tonight in a beautiful renovated old mill on the river in Saxapahaw. The beginning of concert season is upon us. The Magnetic Fields will soon be playing 69 Love Songs in its entirety at a historic theater in downtown for the 25th anniversary of the album release. And I just got tickets as a birthday gift for my son to see Ween in April. Unfortunately, it is at an amphitheater. Wish I could see them at a small club again, but my son is excited for the opportunity to see them at all. So an amphitheater it is.
@LazyLombax. I know Sony gave us the multiplayer for Ghost of Tsushima, but I don’t t think the base game was ever one of the three games with Essential. You can play it on Extra though.
I played the original last year on the Extra tier of the subscription service, and the game is a perfect example of an unnecessary remake. It held up incredibly well for a ten year old title and the graphics never distracted from the gameplay. And as much as a co-op mode seems enticing, it was the unique gameplay mechanics that really stood out. Controlling both characters with the respective joysticks was mind bending. Still, I would play it again if it also shows up on the subscription service later. Or if a really steep sale comes along.
@JonnyAces. Unravel is a delightful platformer. Don’t know if you are aware, but Unravel 2 has a two-player couch co-op mode that is loads of fun. It is quite amusing working your way through the levels with another ball of yarn. And it’s frequently on sale for a fiver in the store.
@T-Bone09. That’s wild that you could still play It Takes Two after it left the service. I have had a couple of games that left the service installed (not just in my library), but once they left, the icon was still on my Home Screen, but there was an image of a lock in the corner and it would no longer load.
@JalapenoSpiceLife. I’m fairly certain that Tchia was not one of three Plus Essential games. It came to the Extra subscription service day and date of release. It was kind of a big deal because up until that point only Stray had come to the service at release.
The first two comments with opposing answers. There you have it. I should add that my son and I play a lot of games together and until recently, cross play between the PS5 and PS4 Pro has been fine. But now, after almost four years, there are finally PS5 exclusives like Helldivers being released that we both want to play so a second PS5 is needed. Hopefully the days of cross generation games are over.
I would pay an extra $150-$200 for a PS5 Pro that could play most games at a guaranteed 60 FPS with 4K graphics. Add in a little ray tracing and maybe a bit more memory and we are good to go. Maybe if I hold off on a day one purchase, there might even be a GTA6 bundle. That would be the dream.
I hope the Rise of the Ronin segment makes up for the last trailer. Earlier previews showed a lot of unique and interesting gameplay mechanics. The last showing leaned too heavily on the Souls like aspects. Please don’t let this end up being just another Souls like.
@gipsojo. Don’t you recognize a sarcasm when you hear it Charlie Brown? I guess a lot of people here don’t. I thought it was the funniest thing that I read tonight.
I am so tired of hearing people complain about the lack of themes. The PS5 is never going to have themes. If you haven’t noticed, each individual game that you have installed has its own background when you select it. How would that work with themes?
