I really liked Days Gone. I mean, its not gonna change the world but it has an 80's action movie feel to it that really struck a chord for me. Once you view it that way, its just a joy. The world itself was also something i could happily explore and get lost in.
Admittedly though, this chap comes across as a bit of a d*ckhead to say the least.
Really pleased to see free upgrades coming along. Surely others like beatsaber must be in the pipeline. Also stuff like ghost giant and the wonderful Moss would be most welcome.
I'll be getting one but likely not at launch. Purely because i havent bough a single christmas present yet and i have 3 kids. If i drop £530 before even attempting to sort christmas my better half will kill me in my sleep.
Beautiful looking game but sadly, for me at least, this is the entry into the series that broke it for me. To be clear, its not the games fault. I lost interest due to other things but forced myself to keep going through to the end. By the time it was done i was bored to tears of it and still cant bring myself to play another one.
@Sable im good thanks, hope the same goes for you and yours.
Yeah, its just a frustrating read over there at the minute. Constructive discussions are out of the window and those two in particular seem to have a free pass to run riot. Sammy and the folks here (also over at purexbox) seem to have a much better handle on the troll side of comments. Makes for a much nicer feel to everything.
@zupertramp bit of a silly point to raise that. Im sure she will 'look american' in this because, you know, shes an actor. I mean, joel is played by a chilean yet you dont seem to question that.
On a side note, Observer: system redux was added to the extra subscription library today. It was previously only for premium in the UK (contrary to other regions).
@render fame is the new crowns. Its basically the premium currency now. Crowns level you up for extra awards on top of your usual xp awards.
Kudos are still in there but basically seem usless as you cant buy decent skins, etc... with them anymore. I mean there was 'grumpy glasses' and a bum bag (fanny pack for those over the pond) but compared to how it was its miles apart and not in the good direction.
@LiamCroft i will no bad words about the pulse headset you heathen. Hand on heart some of the most comfortable cans ive used. Different strokes and all that i guess.
Hopefully man of medan is just a carry over from something agreed before the tiers kicked in. Although if essential get 3 games and the other two tiers get the same plus extra added into the service then i wont mind that.
@get2sammyb Maybe its something that will get adjusted over the coming days, wouldnt be a Sony roll out without the odd weird thing popping up. Its quite a big change to roll out in one go i suppose so might be something they tweak in the coming days. Plenty to be on with in the meantime though eh.
Its also a bit annoying that while other accounts on the same console can play the games, they cant access the library themselves to download them as you can with gamepass. My kids have been pestering me all night to log in and download them different things. Bit of a 1st world problem but hopefully something they allow later on just to make my life easier 😂
@get2sammyb hey man. Dont know if you'll know an answer to this but figured its worth a shot. Observer redux doesnt seem to be included in the extra tier. It says you need premium. I thought it would be include to download in the extra tier being a ps5 game. Have you seen/heard anything on that?
Struggled to see why i needed this but, as its built from the ground up using the combat systems from 2, im gonna find it hard not to put the money down as i love these games.
Theres a couple of games i want to have a go of on the new subscription. This has now been added to the list. All depends on the cost to upgrade. Im a bit of a tight arse and begrudge paying for many things 😂
Im gonna guess they will fall back on the line all terms contain that says 'SIE retain the right to withdraw, remove or modify this service at any time' (or something like that). Its a bullsh*t term that almost all companies use but normally they are required to provide notice. Saying that though, they have told us its changing and that would probably be their defence.
Absolute **** move for a company that markets itself as for the players.
Ive not really bought any big releases on launch day yet as i just cant bring myself to pay 70 quid. Seeing games discounted to 59.99 and 54.99 makes me think i wont be picking them up for a while yet either.
@Grahamthecracker put it in rest mode and once it’s there pull the power lead out. Wait a min, plug it in and then power up. It’ll rebuild the database and then if you check your storage the ‘other’ bit will have gone right down. For some reason you can’t just rebuild the database, you have to pull the plug from rest mode.
@Fyz306903 I never said it was their fault. Full price on ps4 is still the same as until dawn was. The only thing that changed is sony slapped another price on next gen versions.

@GorosBat its cheaper than gamepass. Not sure how you get it to work out as double the cost

@Ryany you can upgrade your existing month by just paying the difference between what you have and the service level you want.
