I am ready to see this flop and have EA swallow some of that misplaced hubris. Though they will probably pin it on some far-fetched, fictional scapegoat.
"The results aren't pretty but it's perhaps worth maintaining perspective: these types of articles are extremely thorough and the average player shouldn't really be deterred by them."
Why even defend Sony on this!!? An attitude like that is why someyhing like Fallout 76 could even happen nowadays: companies aren't held accountable for their blatant cost cutting anymore. Disgusting.
@KidBoruto While it is nice of you to concern yourself with what I am missing out on, when you put the word 'ideals' in double quotes like that, I can't help but get the feeling you don't take me quite as seriously. It feels almost like I offended you in some way by disliking the way this game is released. Do you work for Activision or Toys For Bob? If you don't, I will ask you to respect my "ideals", instead of questioning them when they are not exactly the same as your own, thank you very much.
@KidBoruto I don't care about downloads, though I understand people with bad internet would.
What I care about is preservation. If I own a physical copy, I expect to own the full game. If the current version PSN gets axed or whatever in the future and my PS4 or hdd dies after that, I can probably never get to parts 2 and 3 anymore.
Example: I had DLC for Splinter Cell Chaos Theory on OG Xbox, then OG Live got shut down, then my harddrive died. I replaced the drive, but my paid for DLC is gone forever.
This network doesn't have eternal life, nor does my PS4, and knowing that Activision made a conscious decision to not go with bigger/more discs, thus ensuring that even the hardcopied software has a much more finite life than it could have, made me decide to not reward them with a purchase.
@tomassi Then your question "How exactly can it be any different to any other Tetris apart from some epilepsy inducing effects in the background?" wasn't logical at all.
@JohnnyShoulder You forgot 'Hey, there's a new semi-high profile game coming out; let's publish at least 18 guides a day for the most basic of mechanics!'

Re: Crash Team Racing PS1 to PS4 Comparison Is Seriously Impressive
I will get this if I don't have to download two thirds of the physical release.
Re: Guacamelee! Gets Physical on PS4 with One-Two Punch Collection
So basically, forced double dipping if you already own the physical release of the first one... Also, no retailers in EU? Muy bien, Leadman Games!

Re: RAGE 2 Will Have Both Free Updates and Paid DLC to Keep Players Coming Back
Kay, so I'll get the eventual complete edition and won't have to think about this one for at least a year now. Considerate of you, id!

I remember a time when you got a PS2 with your phone, back when a PS2 was still €200 in stores.
Re: Ubisoft Is Making Changes to Controversial Assassin's Creed Odyssey DLC Ending
Good job, Ubi! Try to please every single person on earth. I'm sure that will make your games less generic.
Re: Poll: Did You Buy the Resident Evil 2 Remake?
Got the steelbook today. Can't wait for Pushsquares 24 separate guides on how to reload!
Still a crappy practice to make the original soundtrack a paid piece of dlc.

"this is destined to sound worse than a bag of drowning kittens"
You dare say this about a composer who used an actual chainsaw as a main instrument and made it sound good? Shows what you know.
Re: Square Enix Boss Says Game Streaming and Subscription Services Will Be Key to Future Growth
Yes! Paying a monthly fee for renting, not owning your games. It's what we have always wanted!

Re: Guide: Best PS4 Racing Games
Reportedly, Burnout Paradise is a buggy, unfinished mess. My votes go to Grip, Horizon Chase Turbo and Dirt 4.
Re: Spider-Man PS4 Dev Pushes Back Against Fan Criticisms Regarding DLC
Twitter guy whines like a spoiled teenager, who thinks he has leverage; gets talked to like a teenager. Good.
Wouldn't surprise me if the demand for this suit turns it into a premium downloadable outside the season pass.
Re: Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom Gets Colourful Gameplay Trailer Following PS4 Launch
Got the physical release from Amazon, but haven't started it yet. Independent reviews on Youtube suggest it's a gem.
Re: Media Molecule Claims the Dreams Beta Is Still on Track for 2018
@wiiware So you have to make your own game? I'll pass. That's like building a typewriter and selling it as a book...
Re: Media Molecule Claims the Dreams Beta Is Still on Track for 2018
I don't understand the hype for this.

I'm still holding out for that physical release. Come on, Vblank Entertainment / Limited Run Games / iam8bit / Strictly Limited Games, make it happen!
Re: Hardware Review: PS Classic - A Nostalgic Nineties Novelty
Check out some of the reviews on youtube. This thing is a loveless, shameless, uninspired, lazy cash grab.
Re: I Am the Hero Is a Stylish Beat-'Em-Up Arriving Today on PS4 and PS Vita
Against my better judgement, I will wait and see of a physical release will somehow come along someday.

Re: Tetris Effect Has a Hidden Retro Level, And It's Incredible
@tomassi I take everything seriously. I also don't know what 'flippant' means, but it looks like an unserious word, so I want nothing to do with it.
