If you take inflation at an average of 2.7% since 2010 and apply it yearly to the original annual subscription of £39.99: Year SUB VAT 2010 £39.99 £1.08 2011 £41.07 £1.11 2012 £42.18 £1.14 2013 £43.32 £1.17 2014 £44.49 £1.20 2015 £45.69 £1.23 2016 £46.92 £1.27 2017 £48.19
It's only about 3p a day. They haven't made any increase in price since launch. If you add average inflation every year since then you get about £48. So it's not too bad in the whole scheme of things, it just looks worse in one bigger hit
@get2sammyb @vegeta11 You're doing great work in the guild! I managed to knock up a few more points last night but my skills are still pretty poor, so not as much as yourself
It was unacceptable to release it how it was. I perservered through the whole game but it felt so hollow, so wooden. Even with the vastness of the planets/galaxies, it had an empty feeling. It had no heart. It is an atrocious entry in to the Mass Effect universe and considering the amount of time and resource they had, there is really no excuse to release something so shoddy
I'd love to play games early, i'm very impatient but for the console, they really need to be a polished and finished product. I can understand Betas and stress testing but not unfinished games
I'm definitely excited for this, looks brutal! I'm going to hold back this time though and wait for some reviews before pre-order, I'm never doing that again after the Andromeda farce. The online games are going to be so tense, shame there's only 3 maps though? And I would feel more comfortable if the single player was actually included in the release rather than waiting foor it
@ShogunRok Another great review, thank you! You have totally swayed me in to getting this but I'm not sure where i'm going to get the time to play all the stuff I have at the moment. There was a comment earlier about dying and 'game over', it does just go back to a checkpoint yeah? It's not a start over from scratch thing?
This review sums up the majority of other reviews I have read. I had the game on preorder and it's downloaded and ready to play (unfortunately I can't get time to play on it until probably at least Sunday though!!!) I'm pretty tolerant on most open world games, they all have their ups and downs and in the whole, I enjoy them. I think I can get past the negatives in the reviews and still enjoy the game

Re: Poll: What Are Your Thoughts on the PlayStation Plus Price Increase?
If you take inflation at an average of 2.7% since 2010 and apply it yearly to the original annual subscription of £39.99:
Year SUB VAT
2010 £39.99 £1.08
2011 £41.07 £1.11
2012 £42.18 £1.14
2013 £43.32 £1.17

2015 £45.69 £1.23
2016 £46.92 £1.27
2017 £48.19
That's not too far off to be fair
Re: Poll: What Are Your Thoughts on the PlayStation Plus Price Increase?
@BLP_Software I've only ever got the annual one so that's why I'd never noticed a price change
Re: Poll: What Are Your Thoughts on the PlayStation Plus Price Increase?
@BLP_Software I just found this article. Look at the bottom of the page. https://blog.eu.playstation.com/2010/06/23/playstation-plus-explained/
It was £39.99 back in 2010 according to this
Re: Poll: What Are Your Thoughts on the PlayStation Plus Price Increase?
@BLP_Software I don't remember it going up, I always thought it was this price. Must have missed it. What was it originally then?

Re: Poll: What Are Your Thoughts on Destiny 2?
It doesn't really look inspiring or seem intriguing, just looks like a larger DLC pack? I give it 4 mehs but I'll wait until I see some more

Re: SEGA CD Classic Night Trap Is Partying to PS4
So it's like a crap version of Until Dawn?
Re: Friday the 13th: The Game Unmasks 26th May on PS4
@Rockman55 I think the idea of the game is to avoid Jason and escape the camp. Not sure if you can kill him?

Re: New Hot Shots Golf Putts Out Closed Beta on 26th May

Re: Rumour: Destiny 2 Drops on 8th September Claims Leaked Poster
@kyleforrester87 I think that it's because it's French or Italian? They have the E and the R the other way round
Re: Rumour: Destiny 2 Drops on 8th September Claims Leaked Poster
@FaultyDroid It looks pretty legit to me?
