@__jamiie Yeah digital is one thing, but even most cities in first world countries don't have access to sufficient internet for streaming modern games. You'd be lucky if 1% of the population would have access to game on modern streaming only consoles...

Wow, glad I don't have a subscription anymore...been ages since anything I'd have interest enough to have a sub has been put on essential. Nobody Saves The World is something I'd like, but not enough for an entire sub when I could get the game for around $10 on-sale.

First! Also sad to see people try to ruin other people's enjoyment of upcoming releases.

@Raynor85x There should be a tier for just online features that's cheap. Honestly if I weren't an adult there'd only be like 2-3 games a year that I could play on the essential service, and even as an adult there was only like 3 games each year that I had any interest in tops. That's why I gave up on the service and with such a massive price hike I don't see myself ever signing back up unless Sony does the unthinkable and locks the use of the PlayStation Store behind a PS+ subscription paywall.

@adit365 As long as you don't have to pay for it again if you already purchased it before its removal...

@Shepherd_Tallon As an American why should I be happy about the push towards streaming games? Aside from California, NYC, and maybe Washington State, our infrastructure is absolute doodoo in all-but the wealthiest neighborhoods even in huge metropolises such as Phoenix, Chicago, Dallas, etc. So 90% of us don't have enough speed or stability to stream games without them buffering every few seconds...

@OnceaThief Ah okay! I thought you were being sarcastic, my apologies! 😹

@Dadou I'm a fan, and I only play with dubs on...

@OnceaThief I've heard of the grammar police, but not the illiterate police complaining that people are using proper grammar. What @get2sammyb wrote checks out as proper usage of the English language... 🤣

@get2sammyb Haha I see my PSN avatar in your friends list on the article pic above! 🤣

Are these like double discounts or are these games simply not on-sale at all if you don't have PS+?

@Lando_ @Kanji-Tatsumi @darkswabber @UltimateOtaku91 @Splat Please don't lump all of us Zelda fans as being boogie men. I find it just as appalling as you do, but stereotyping an entire fanbase based on the actions of a few lunatics is not a good look.

@get2sammyb Was the PS4 version canned?

@IOI GaaS games can work if done with single player in mind. GaaS just means continuous updates after launch such as what Spiderman, Final Fantasy XV, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Animal Crossing: New Horizons had. Live service is likely what you're thinking of which tend to focus on multiplayer and require a constant internet connection which includes MMO's, Fortnite, Genshin Impact, Gran Turismo 6, etc.

@get2sammyb When is the PS4 version expected to release?

@ShogunRok So PSP games work like the PSOne Classics right? If I have the game on my Vita I should be able to download it for free, correct? I do have Blade Dancer so that'd certainly be a nice PS4 upgrade!

@Ralizah Yeah, but Octopath is NOTHING like the SaGa series. There's no glimmer system, secret party members, and the games aren't maddeningly difficult like the SaGa series. Aliance Alive is the spiritual successor to the SaGa series imo as it has a glimmer system and crazy difficulty.

@ShogunRok It's CHAOS!!!

I'm pleasantly surprised that this is also headed the PS4, and not just PS5! Will definitely pick this up at some point assuming my PS4 doesn't die on me before then.

@Khayl Uh...Trails To Azure isn't in a school setting like the Cold Steel games. 🤣

@KaijuKaiser @NEStalgia In all honesty Sony is definitely more anti-consumer than Nintendo is at present, though that tends to flip-flop every few years or so, so eventually Nintendo will hold that "title" again. That said the fact that the DLC isn't coming to PS4 has pretty much ensured I won't get the base-game until it drops below $15 on-sale.

And no I am not getting a PS5 as I can't afford a $500+ console, heck I could barely afford the PS3, PS4, and Switch at $300 each when they could actually be found at that price. PS3/PS4 cost $500+ now so I won't even be able to afford a replacement if either of them breakdown on me.

@Quintumply Have the premium and extra tier games for THIS month even been announced yet? 🤔

@get2sammyb You can actually read the F-Bomb in the picture for this article no problem in the thumnail on the home page of the site. 🤣

@ShogunRok @LiamCroft Uh...I have both The Legend of Dragoon and Wild Arms 2 on PS3, but it appears Sony has silently stopped letting players who have the classic games on the same account on PS3/Vita download the PS4 upgrade for free. You might want to report this in an article.

@Nakatomi_Uk Uh...can't tell if trolling or a bot? 🧐

@ShogunRok I'm pretty sure Wild Arms 2 will have trophies as well given that Wild Arms 1 has a trophy list with a platinum.

Since I have Wild Arms 2 on PS3, this means I'll have a new PS4 game to look forward to courtesy of cross-buy!

@ShogunRok Highly doubtful unless all they announce is D7.

@ShogunRok Isn't this confirmed for Nintendo Switch as well? Not gonna lie, even if it is I'd probably go with the PS4 version as I can't imagine this'd run smoothly on Switch.

I hope this isn't the beginning of the end for video games...

@get2sammyb Any holiday themes added to the PS4 version as well?

@Recover20 It's sad that all the good games they release now are ports and remakes of old games and Bravely Default, Triangle Strategy, and Octopath Traveler doesn't count because all three series were heavily funded by Nintendo, even OT2 and TS which are multiplatform.

@McBurn Quite the McBurn lol. Seriously though, I hope this fails hard enough to make Squeenix cease making NFT's, but not enough to make the company go barkrupt.

@saffeqwe You might want to actually read comments before commenting on them...just a thought.

@Neonix I mean I'm one of the people that bailed because the games on Essential are rarely my cup of tea and I'm not going to get a more expensive plan when I already pay $50 a year for NSO + Expansion...

This review is a 1/10. It's hardly even a review and is more of a literal joke as in it's actually satire instead of, y'know a review? Also the game is actually really good and it feels like the reviewer didn't even play it and instead relied on it being as bad as its predecessor to slam it, which has backfired since it's one of the better games in the series...

Welp, definitely getting Tales of Arise this week at that price, unless something unexpected happens.

I have an account on Switch for PGA Tour 2K21. Should I change my 28 character password or should the extremely strong password still be safe?

@IonMagi I don't think so. Probably not Crash 5, but I'm guessing it'll be a spin-off game of some sort.

@get2sammyb @UltimateOtaku91 That's assuming the deal goes through in Europe, Asia, and the US. If any of the big 3 regions kick it back there's a good chance Activision and or Microsoft would call-off the acquisition as it wouldn't be lucrative to not be able to release anything in one or more of those regions.

@ShogunRok Is the DLC PS5 exclusive or is it also coming to the PS4 & Switch versions?

PS4 and Switch?! Pog! That said this looks like a gorgeous and enjoyable Visual Novel and JRPG hybrid!

Looks amazing, too bad it probably won't come to Switch's successor and I'll likely never be able to afford a PS5, since the supply chain issues mean that the system will likely only go up in price rather than seeing any price reductions, but I digress.

@Grimwood Not of 3-D games like this, but ok.

@NEStalgia There wasn't a Wii U version. That got cancelled super late in development.

@get2sammyb Will this be coming to Switch as well? Personally prefer the PS4 version, but my parents prefer playing on Switch so it makes sense to get that version if there is a Switch version.

@Quintumply Will the dlc be delisted as well for those of us whom haven't gotten around to purchasing them? 🤔

@get2sammyb Agreed, nice to hangout with friends on the other side of the planet and chill out with some Dragon Ball Super. 🤓

@IonMagi they are definitely eyeing them, but ultimately it's all down to if Square puts themselves on the market to be purchased.

@4kgk2 Probably because there's nothing positive to talk about. Sony abandoned the handheld market and their Japanese teams. Are eyeing Square Enix and if they do get them will probably Westernize them to the point that their games will unrecognizable and would likely become story driven cinematics like the other 1st party games, etc. I do like Sony IP and many of their games, but as a company they are every bit as bad as Microsoft, just with less money to throw around.

@get2sammyb Is this the first time in history that game devs have developed games in a literal war zone? 🤔
