Day Gone is a great game that got screwed by having reviews before the day one patch. It was an absolute shame Sony passed on a sequel and just as big of a shame that Garvin has been acting like a child ever since.

While he was on the Sacred Symbols podcast, he didn't do his reputation any favors with some of the stuff he was saying.

I didn't see a way to enter this sweepstakes without having Twitter, which is a shame. I deleted Twitter as soon as that absolute clown, Elon Musk, bought it. I already didn't like it much, but I (rightfully) knew it would degrade immensely once he took over.

Maybe they will not relegate Insomniac to a Marvel factory in the future then. No? Sad.

Sell me one already!!!

@JohntheRaptor
Not marketable? What are you on about?

@Rob_230
You listed inFamous twice, but I am down with that because we REALLY need a new inFamous. Marvel took over the superhero stuff for Sony, but I think there is room for Sony's original stuff, too.

My body is ready!!! I have been wanting a way to reward the developers for their awesome work with Astro's Playroom and this is it!!

If you buy from scalpers, you are the reason scalpers exist.

MY COLLECTOR'S EDITION SHOULD BE HERE ANY DAY NOW!!!!!! Praise the Emperor!!!

@Boxmonkey
I disagree. They don't have to say anything. The discourse seems to be helping them. Either way, the game is not on Xbox, whether that is because Sony makes deals to get great games for their fans or the Xbox Series S blows, it's a win for them.

Man, Microsoft trying to save face so bad.

I hope this is not a direct result of my comment "no upgrade path = no buy." I mean, that is true, but I don't want it to be my fault. Layoffs are awful.

"If you already own the PS4 version of LEGO Harry Potter Collection then there won’t be a free upgrade, but you will be eligible for a discount."

If the discount is anything short of 90% off, I am not interested.

The audacity to not give Space Marine 2 its own called-out section!!!

@Splat
How does one do that? I have the game pre-ordered. Is it automatic?

I like(d) Paul Tassi's Destiny content, but that's about it. He does seem to be overly defensive of Xbox and quite short-sighted at times which puts me off. As another commenter pointed out, he reminds me of Destin Legerie from IGN. I used to listen to Podcast Unlocked (IGN's Xbox podcast) every week for many years, but stopped when Destin was championing Microsoft buying up everything they can and running Sony out of business. That was just too stupid for me.

@3Above
Profile picture checks out.

Is the green ranger divisive? He's been my favorite since his first appearance. I've also liked Jason David Frank (the actor that portrays the green ranger) because he was always so involved in martial arts and nerd culture. RIP

@Titntin
You certainly speak the truth, but I like having a disc drive just so I can play anything I want and I'm not limited to digital media. I've been buying only digital games for over a decade on console and almost two decades on PC, but I still like to have a disc drive.

@Cry_Zero
I mean, they could just charge you more and include the disc drive. Maybe they will do that in addition to a model without, but I suspect they will release consoles for less money without a disc drive since they sell the drive separately. Giving folks the choice and an upgrade path seems more pro-consumer than you are saying.

Get in my belly!!!

They (seemingly) have their priorities straight.

That is definitely a nice selection. Like @MickOnYourFace, I am not into the sport of baseball, but I enjoy the games when I do play them. I will give this one a whirl. Since my wife and daughter love Harry Potter, maybe they will play Quidditch Champions.

@nomither6
Indeed. I rarely pre-order games and typically only do so when I want a statue or something in limited supply (Spider-Man 2 and Space Marine 2). There have been five exceptions over the past decade:

Final Fantasy Rebirth because it came with the previous game, which I didn't own yet.

God of War (2018) and God of War Ragnarök because I absolutely adore the God of War series and it is what got me into PlayStation in the first place.

C&C Remastered because the first game was so very impactful for me. It was the first RTS I ever played and I managed to buy it on accident. It started my love for RTS games.

Astro Bot because I know the game is going to be great and I wanted to send a message!

@Splat I, too, hope people vote with their wallets! We need more creative and playful games from Sony. Greatly expand Team Asobi and let's gooooo!!!

I am just so dang excited for this game. My collector's edition should be arriving any day now. I mussssst have it! My precious!

Lin Jia for me, please. Thanks.

Yeah buddy! It would be monumentally epic if a Bloodborne remake launched with the PS5 Pro.

Alternative title: "Developer excited their new game will sell copies and provide job security."

I hope it's true. I want a PS5 Pro immediately if not sooner.

The free-to-play business model utilizer by competing games is mostly to blame, not Concord's quality. It's hard to compete with "free" and gamers' expectations that have been influenced by so many games being free-to-play.

Well done. China is a huge gaming market that is mostly untapped and the Chinese are undoubtedly eating this up.

I appreciate Sony spending their money doing this. It's a far better strategy than what those other guys are doing.

We don't know because they don't want Xbox fans to know. The end.

Starship Troopers Extermination looks very fun, so I'm interested. I don't see myself ceasing to play Helldivers 2 anytime soon, however. The game is just immense fun.

It just goes to show Xbox getting $80B to buy a bunch of studios and two major publishers was really a monkey's paw. Phil got what he wanted, but also got all the scrutinity of the shareholders and the Microsoft CEO, which really took a lot of power out of his hands.

I feel bad for developers sometimes. Gamers are so entitled and the worst of us are so vocal. I see it daily with Helldivers 2. People attacking and constantly berating other people because they don't like a change made to a weapon or something else actually inconsequential. Embarrassing.

Already sold and they have my money! Send me my game and statue immediately, if not sooner.

Final Fantasy 16 is a great game.

Now, if I can put Helldivers 2 down long enough to play Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth, that would be great.

@UltimateOtaku91

It's extremely embarrassing. These crazies go ballistic over every change Arrowhead makes. Granted, there have been some changes I have not liked, but it's Arrowhead's game and their vision. They make the game how they want to and I can either play it or not. Getting angry about it and throwing a tantrum is just ridiculous.

No upgrade path = no money from me.

Dark Souls 2 was very good. People hated it because Miyazaki didn't direct it. Most people probably couldn't even tell and jumped on the hate bandwagon. I could tell it was different because the world was less connected than with the Souls games before it, but that was a minor thing, not the existential crisis the "fans" would have you believe.

@TheDudeElDuderino
That stuff works for me, but, anyway, the outcry is not about those things. It's about flame weapons being reigned in. Before that, it was about the quasar cannon getting a longer cooldown, so it would stop being overpowered. The biggest outcry by far was people upset they had to do what they agreed to and create a PSN account. There is too much whining. So, yeah, it's embarrassing.

I have been playing the game since launch with my brother and my friends and it has been in great fun. All these people crying after every change Arrowhead makes need to stop being babies. It's truly embarrassing.

If you buy from scalpers, you are the reason scalpers exist.

I don't understand why people cannot just enjoy themselves. The game is gun. No longer being able to melt a charger with the flamethrower has not made me want to rage against the game. I'm still having fun. I think it's just the people who want to be overpowered instead of having some semblance of skill that are having issues.

'tis a fantastic bit o' kit!

It's a beautiful controller and I would totally have gotten it if I did not have too many controllers already. I bought two Spider-Man 2 controllers plus the three original DualSense controllers I have.

I remember really being interested in this game. The music in the trailer was a banger, too.
