Personally I think this is one of the worst line ups of the year. It comes at a good time though because there are a bunch of games out over May/June I want to get caught up on. Mass Effect alone is like 100+ hours. Then add in R&C and a few other games I play like COD, Wreckfest, and Fall Guys and Im good for the month.
Don’t care. I will dedicate my entire hard drive to this game lol but in all seriousness it is a good size update but its also a MASSIVE game so its to be expected.
Ehh i put this down at about 140 hours once a mission glitched and i had to go back about 6 hours to fix it. I’ll see if the wife wants it and maybe ill give it another shot but pretty unlikely since the trailer wasnt too exciting
Returnal really released at a bad time. A week before RE8, 2 weeks before Mass Effect, and a month before Ratchet and Clank. Im guessing that hurt sales because I skipped it for RE8, ME, and R&C.
I like it for online games but i dont want it to hold back single player games for people that dont have plus. they essentially are pushing back the release date (since the game is finished) to make it exclusive to PS+
So people are mad sony made a deal to make money off of people playing on their console? I hate the gaming industry lol who cares what you play, where, and how. Just enjoy it and stop fighting...
This is good as there was a big gap in good exclusive multiplayer games (at least from my knowledge). They’re dropping single player games every month it seems. Maybe this game will be a big part of their recent purchase of EVO?
@vapidwolf i mean if you took the past year with both companies at even ground. Xbox got Bethesda and had a bunch of their games updated and added to gamepass, got a PS game on gamepass, theyve announced a bunch of new games for the near future, and they are rumored to be getting the next Kojima game.
Playstation charged full price for their game when it was free(ish) on xbox, theyve had studios shut down, Days Gone 2 was denied, and they’re overall pretty quiet. There probably more im forgetting but you get my point.
If you took all of last generation and included it with this generation then yes PlayStation is definitely still ahead but they need to do something to convince people to stick with them. A lot of people are making decisions on what console the will own over the next 6+ years so this is a bad time for PlayStation to let xbox look better to the average consumer.
Short term xbox is ahead. They've been doing good recently. Overall PlayStation is definitely still ahead though they do need to step it up. Maybe PS+ and PS Now the same service, buy Bluepoint, and be more open about what they are doing.
I bought the game on release day and tried twice to get into it but never really caught on. I got maybe 10 or so hours in. I still plan on giving it one last shot, which i was hoping would be a few months before the second game were to be announced. Its not the end of the world for me but i do kinda wish they made another as it definitely had a lot of potential to be a big franchise for Sony.
Eh, they're ok. For someone that doesn't have Days Gone then its better but I’ve already got 1 if the 3 games. Dead Army 4 could be ok but I doubt I ever play it. Oddworld looks like it could be fun though so at least I got one new game I’ll try.
I was in the same boat to start the game. My first experience with FF was about 15 years ago (I couldn't even tell you the name of it at this point). My sister worked next to a GameStop and they threw out a bunch of old games that weren't selling and FF was one of them.
I remember looking at the case and thinking, “Well this is... different” and tried it out. I made it maybe 10 minutes before I decided it wasn't for me. So I completely gave up on the series and had no plans of going back.
Then FF7R was announced and i thought it looked pretty cool but remember my experience with the previous game and figured I’d give it a shot if I could get it for cheap.
Then there is was. Free in the PS+ collection. Of course i had to give it another shot. And man was I surprised. I was very thrown off at first like you were with the dialog and the gameplay mechanics and I was very overwhelmed with it all. But I pushed through and loved it.
I agree some of the game really felt like a grind. The side missions (like finding all the cats), the tunnels, trying to figure out materia and what they all meant/did. But after figuring it all out i really enjoyed my time with it (about 50 hours).
Right after beating it I went strait to IGN to read what the ending means for the story and I’m so excited for the next game (FF7R part 2 or what ever its called), Integrade, and FF16. Once I have more time I’d love to sit down and play FF15.
@Medic_Alert by you also have to subtract everything they are spends which is A LOT right now. 7+ Billion for Zenimax, the cost of the consoles at a loss (I’m not even gonna try to guess what that is lol), and all of these other deals behind the scenes. With them being a big company they aren’t going to be content with what they are making now. It just doesn’t work that way. Prices will almost always go up.
@Medic_Alert I don’t believe they make that much profit off of dlc and mtx’s. They don’t make profit off their consoles either so I just see it as Microsoft telling them to going on a spending spree to suck up a bigger portion of the market so they can start squeezing them for money by increasing prices and lowering the quality of games in the service. That should in turn make more people buy their games at full cost (which will have a smaller production budget due to losses in other areas and the previous generation)
The way I see it is Xbox is really trying to get people to join game pass at an extreme loss for the company to then raise the price a couple years down the line and slowly lower the quality of games on the service. There’s no other way they can keep up what they are doing and make a profit.
I want gran tourism I sport. That’s the game I’ve been eyeing to buy for the past couple of days. I’ve just got so many games I still need to play I can’t get myself to buy another one lol
I’d love to get VR but I just don’t have the time/money for it right now. I barely have to to play my current PS5 games and I can’t blow another $500+ on PSVR2. One day I’ll get into it but until then I’ll continue to be jealous of people that have it lol.
I hadn’t noticed any bugs in the new update except for this untextured person stuck walking in the doorway of the tattoo shop but with only their head/shoulders above the floor. Very odd
Very good game. Fun gameplay, enjoyable/complex puzzles, and an easy platinum (45 minutes if you watch walkthroughs beforehand). And being free to all PS+ members I suggest you get it a shot.
I mean that’s cool and all but why remake and old game that will cost maybe 1/2 the price of making a new one? GTA V remastered won’t sell nearly as well as GTA VI. GTA VI would could probably sell 100M in its first year.
I would love some new content. I’ve got the steel book version, plenty of merch, and I dropped at least 100+ hours in it. It’s on my list of games to go back to so it would be a huge plus to get a PS5 upgrade and new content.

Re: UK Sales Charts: Resident Evil Village Sells Best on PS5, PS4 with 80% Share

Re: Poll: Which Bethesda Franchise Will PS5 Miss the Most?
For me it’s:
1. Fallout
2. Dishonored
3. Wolfenstein
