@johnvboy So I guess a 500 year old heirloom should be sold for a few cents based on that logic? Scalpers are evil, but saying no items should be auctioned above retail even if they were discontinued years, decades, or centuries ago is pretty dumb as well.
@get2sammyb Uh...yeah that's not the full list of PS4 games coming in 2021, it's missing more titles than titles actually listed and you don't even have first party PS4 titles that also happen to be coming to PS5 such as Horizon Forbidden West listed presumably to promote the PS5, which the vast majority of us will never find until the scalper bots are taken care of lol.
@rjejr Uh...not in large numbers. Before the pandemic it was mostly limited to people with respiratory issues. The vast majority of people in the country didn't wear masks before now.
@get2sammyb Uh...why lie about your previous PS5 article? I see zero issues with your previous article, but do kind of feel that your denying that you wrote it is in poor taste.
Anyway, yeah it's totally understandable why the police broke up the crowds given the situation.
@The-Grezzly-Bear There will be more than just that. As Liam and I explained before, Sony no longer keeps press websites or consumers informed of weekly releases. There is almost certainly going to be at least one surprise gem of an indie release that will likely be overlooked. It's a shame that most good indie games are stealth released and fly under most gamer's radar.
@Wormold There isn't just one game. For some reason Push Square hasn't explained that the weekly press releases no longer are sent out so it makes it hard to know what will be releasing outside of AAA retail games each week, but I guess it makes for good clickbait acting like Sony has an empty release schedule?
I think it looks rather charming for a 3-D indie RPG despite the technical issues. As long as it isn't a $40 plus game I'll get it, if not I'll wait for a sale.
@Stuffgamer1 @Deadhunter Strange? Because the Kohl's here in the states are basically like Sears, they have some clothes, but appliances, home supplies, and tools are the main things they sell here, alongside some electronics, movies, and games.
@rjejr I'd hardly call next year meaningless for the PS4. We're getting YS IX and probably The Legend of Heroes: Trails of The Beginnings on PS4 which don't have a PS5 version planned at present. Then we have games that'll be released on both PS5 as well as PS4 which include Horizon: Forbidden West, Final Fantasy VII Remake: Episode II, Balan Worderworld, Kena: Bridge of Spirits, Tales of Arise, Digimon World Survive, and MANY others!
Next year will still be an amazing year for those of us who have to wait awhile before upgrading to PS5.
@Panthers There are quite a few lengthy ones out there. Stardew Valley has 100's of hours of content, Hollow Knight has 20-30 hours which is alot by Metroidvania standards. Ary has 15-20 hours of content, Soul Saga from Disastercake will be a 50+ hour JRPG with great 3D visuals on PS4/PS5/XBSeX/PC, etc.
@Panthers Gotta love nonsensical blanket statements. Seriously there are some amazing indie games, but most of the garbo we got on PS+ were not representative of said quality. It'd be like saying I've bought five AAA games in my life and all of them sucked so therefore all AAA games suck, which is equally untrue. I'm certainly not saying the indie games you've played weren't crap, but that there are good ones out there, even good ones that have modern visuals as well.
@hoffa007 Nope dying light hasn't been on PS+ since February of 2018 at the latest because I don't have it and I bought my PS4 in March of 2018 and redeem every game on the IGC regardless of if I'm interested. You never know when you'll hear something that'll pique your interest in a game that you previously had no interest in.
For crying out. I'm honestly shocked that the comments haven't been locked yet. This is the most off-the-rails and heated discussion I've ever seen on this website.
And yeah, unfortunately ES6 and the likes will almost certainly be Xbox exclusives as much as it pains me to admit it.
@PeakyBlinder Actually no because before if you ignored a party it didn't automatically add you into a group. There's also that PS messages bug that occurs when the app causes you to run out of RAM, which in-turn causes the messages app to continuously give you a "rebuilding database" error that is an absolute nightmare to fix.
@PeakyBlinder Except parties disappear once disbanded, groups will continue to bug the living hell out of you with notifications long after you're done with it. They can be deleted, but I mean it's a hassle if 10-12 people get invited separately that's 10-12 groups that need to be deleted and risks you accidentally deleting other groups you're a part of. It's all an unnecessary convoluted mess now. The old adage if it ain't broke don't fix it comes to mind in this situation.
@get2sammyb Does the UI and games scale down to 1080p? I have a 2 year old 50" TV that I got for $89 during Black Friday and was wondering if the UI and games will just be a tiny box in the middle of my screen? If so, it may be a VERY longtime until I purchase a PS5 since my TV will probably last for quite a few years and while much more affordable, 4K TV's are still outside of what I can afford, at least one's that are reasonably large.
So Starfield is NOT coming to PS5 confirmed! Seriously who in their right mind believes this clown. Literally every console that releases, he expects next-gen hardware to be released next year starting in year 2 and runs with that prediction every year after that till it actually happens. 😂
@Porco To be fair another equally big problem is child births have been on a steady decline for the past two decades there. And most Japanese adults simply can't game due to a multitude of reasons, both culturally and due to having busier lives when compared to the average Westerner.
@Col_McCafferty I wasn't correcting you dude. I just added to the conversation, sorry for the misunderstanding and I guarantee it was absolutely my bad. >_>
We have strong Spanish influence, especially here in the desert southwest portion of the United States which is why Soccer is mostly called Futbol in our region of the states.
@get2sammyb It's going to be funny when the PS5 has been out for awhile and the headline game will be Horizon: Forbidden West with PS5 and PS4 tags for the release. I'm really happy it's getting a PS4 version since I can get it at launch that way, but has Sony ever released first party titles on a last-gen console that long after the start of a new console generation?
@UnlimitedSevens And the franchises we love from whatever third party devs get snatched up by Sony would probably disappear or take a back seat to whatever first party IP is handed to them as their next project. Sony makes amazing games, don't get me wrong, but best case scenario the acquired third party's own IP releases would slow to a trickle or worst case disappear entirely.
@nessisonett We might as well start calling this site ToxicSquare because the trolls are reaching 4chan levels of critical mass.
Anyways second party studios make sense, but let's not hope that a ton of third party companies with zero affiliation to the big three get eaten alive and lose their creative freedom.
@Kidfunkadelic83 Nah there will be much more releasing this week. Sony no longer does press releases of the upcoming week's games so this is likely only 10% to 20% of this week's actual PS4 releases.
@Kunfoostu What do you do that makes your DS4 break after only a few hundred hours? I'll admit they're absolute garbo by first party controller standards, but as long as you aren't abusing your controller by jarring the fronk out of your analog sticks, you can easily get well over 1,000 to 2,000 hours out of it. That said since my launch Wii's Wiimote and Nunchuk, Wii U gamepad from 2014, and my original PS2 AND PSOne controllers all still work, it shows how crappy the DS4 controllers are since I already replaced two of them...
@Ashkorsair I'll get the PS4 version myself which will happen since the game'll definitely surpass the $1 million stretch goal by a hefty amount at this rate! 😎
@Feena The last JRPG we got as part of PS+ was some silly PS3 JRPG that I liked, but can't remember its name. The main character was called Chou Chou and it was a silly adventure where she and her minions tried to take over the world by enslaving each world's demon lord and hero. It was definitely fanservicey, but fun. It was offered for free back in Summer of 2017 I believe.
@stinkyx All of those "closed" shops still allow you to redownload previous purchases. For example I can still redownload previously purchased WiiWare and Wii Virtual Console games on the Wii Shop Channel despite it having "closed" a year or two ago.
@NomNom I do. Like I said before I only buy one game in the series every generation and it's always a second-hand copy so the developer and publisher makes absolutely nothing off my purchase.
@KisekiFan7 I also never buy new so there goes your theory that I'm supporting them. Eventually your insulting behaviour will earn you a banhammer of justice.
