Still not returning the paid content they took away from people. Until they do that wont touch a Bungie game. One the worst decisions Sony made buying Bungie
@Flaming_Kaiser I love the games they are very pleasant with lots of Cat and Dog puns. There is a demo on the PS store for the first game which should give you an idea if its for you.
Do feel there was a massive falling out between Sony and Clap Hanz. Easy come Easy golf isn't out on Sony consoles but out on the switch. Not a big golf fan but put so many hours into the Everbodys golf games over the last few generations. Loved the PS2 one where you could play as Ratchet and Jak.
@Flaming_Kaiser You did get some cosmetics free in the battle pass I never paid for the battle bass and think I got 6 cosmetics and a character but there were about 35 levels on the pass so a low % was free. It is a shame as if they got the monetisation right could have some legs but I played for one season and a few games into the second season then dropped it.
There did seem a weird amount of hate towards this game even before it came out. I am not a big multiplayer fan but had fun with this but the MTX were crazy prices. Battle pass wasnt to bad at £4.99 but the outfits and other stuff was massively overpriced.
Destiny 3 needed to happen 3 or 4 years ago they needed it on a new engine to remotely do what they wanted to do content wise. There choice to continue pumping stuff out for Destiny 2 has alienated alot of players.
Hopefully the 2 people in the comments that are interested in it pump enough money into the micro transactions to keep the servers up for more then 12 months. I have played a very small amount of Overwatch but boy does that look a lot like overwatch!
I am very torn on this one love Vanillaware stuff just not a big Strategy RPG fan. Think the big question does the food still look as amazing as in other vanillaware games?
I think its a lot to do with money and time. A lot of people who have the income to buy new games also don't have the time as they work or have families. A lot of games these days are at least a minimum of 30 hours to complete. I used to buy a lot of games day one I cant remember the last big game i bought day one that wasnt an indie. I am a huge FFVII fan but I havent bought rebirth.
I like a lot of people i expect have a big backlog that seems never ending and with games getting reduced very quickly it seems wiser to wait then play day one, as usually there are a few bugs day one as well so when you get round to playing it is usually fully patched.
@TwoDents And multiple people have expressed the same opinion as me but I havent told anyone else there opinion is irrelevant. I and other people are putting across why it feels like there has been lots of entries. Its fine you don't see them all as entries but other people do. Again my opinion, so again sorry if you think its wrong all the games and expansions even the VR game have been heavily advertised by Sony (where I live anyway) when they were released which again would cause the effect of over saturation
@TwoDents Thanking for letting me know my opinion is irrelevant I stand fully corrected I will consult with you in the future if I ever try and have another opinion. Hopefully your day is now wonderful now that you have establlished yours is the only opinion that matters.
@TwoDents Not sure what narrative you think I am "Pushing" I was pointing out that Horizon had 5 products out in the last 7 years. Actually praising them that the expansions are substantial and not quick cash grabs. My opinion the expansions are of good length and quality they should be considered proper entries. Sorry other people don't agree with that but thats my opinion.
@PsBoxSwitchOwner Most of those are MMO's which is a whole different beast. Not sure where Spiderman, GT and Star Ocean come into it. As Horizons expansions are quite substatial not 2 or 3 hour expansion.
@get2sammyb 5 games in 7 years is actually a lot apart from annual sports games and COD can you name another franchise that has that many entries in the last 7 years?
Sifu is very good but already played it others dont really do anything for me so a dud for me this month but last couple of months havent been too bad so can't complain.
@Darylb88 As taco said there has been an easy mode added and it still gave me a challenge but a managable challenge. I hate souls like games as well but would recommend this.
What a bizarre article all round. I have no idea why push square has brought this up was there an article each time the Uncharted games were released? I know some people seem to think trophies are the be all and end all but dont think I have ever seen anyone complain about the name of the trophy!
Was a whole different story when Microsoft made PUBG a timed exclusive to xbox. The only people that helped was Fortnite allowed them to suck up playstation players who couldnt play PUBG and now look at the two games fortunes.
Surely Redfall should have been there equivalent but they messed it up. Sony should release a ctyptic statement saying they will release some PS games on Xbox then just release MLB.
@Ainu20 Thank you for letting me know my opinion is wrong and yours is right. I would be interested to know what game you thought in the first 3 months got PS5 the most attention in the gaming press.
It does seem Sony dosent even know what its fans want if they think Astro is not an established or Major IP. Basically Astro Bot carried the PS5 in the early days everyone was talking how great the haptics and everything was. With the Haptics i dont think any other game has come close to Astro Bot.
@BorntobeGeek75 I wouldn't get your hopes up about the everybodys games. I dont think things are great between Sony and Clap Hanz seeing Easy Come Easy Golf isnt on Sony systems yet!
If there was a new 1st party IP dropping in the next 12 months we should have heard something about it as it would be a new IP you would have to build hype a bit more then an established IP. You cant drop a trailer 2 months before release and hope that carries it.
I seriously dont understand all the hate the game gets. I enjoyed the game it was one of the best looking games I played last year. It was a huge risk but least they tried something new and not another sequel, remaster or soulslike. But as others said have to question the £40million marketing budget what did this actually pay for?
@Titntin Thats a fair point but just proves my point more that most big studios don't seem to have any originallity in them which is very disappointing to me.
Basically the show showed 2nd and 3rd party is doing all the heavy lifting at the moment for Sony. I have no idea why they cant tease something from one of there big studios just to give the fans something. This also extends to VR with Sony still not producing any games for PSVR2 not even a token PSVR2 version of Astrobot.
The showcase showed the industry is in a bit of a rut with most games being sequels, remakes/remasters or souls likes. Least Judas looked new and interesting. But it does seem what most fans want going by the reaction to this article.
Dave the diver is already out on Switch isnt it? Sony seems very late to the party on some of these big indie games. Still hasn't got Vampire survivors but that maybe more to do with Microsoft then Sony.
@get2sammyb But surely you can understand Sony fans want to know what there studios are working on. Most of the games will be availble on xbox. Sadly if its not a remake/remaster, sequel or a soulslike Sony dont seem interested. And it looks like they have all but given up on PSVR2 after a year
I think its just a combination of stuff. If sonys first party output had been better since launch and there communication had been better I don't think it would be such a big deal. Sonys first party output apart from returnal has been mainly seqeuls and remakes/remasters so I think its a bit of fatigue and people thinking Sony in general have no new ideas.
If they also at some point over the last couple of years showed what Naughty dog were working on (could just be a 30 second teaser) that would of eased a lot of the negativity as well
My backlog never seems to get any smaller due to my huge backlog I rarely buy games day one. Some bargains I have picked up in the last couple of months SFVI £20, Resident Evil 4 £22 and Dead Island 2 £25 as well as quite a few others just got to find time to play them all, only done Resi 4 out of those. I have extra but thinking of dropping it due to not having enough time to do my backlog of games.
@Jacko11 Yeah the Ui is terrible this season the locker section is specifically bad I think thats costing purchases as people cant be bothered to navigate the locker so see no point buying new skins.
@ItsBritneyB_tch Do you get Xp for BP doing the lego stuff? As may play more of the LEGO mode as not really feeling the BR mode this season and the OG season and this season XP seems a real slog for some reason
Bungie were better run and less money grabbing under Activision that says alot about the company. Bungie has the worst monestisation practices in the business, Name me one other developer that has deleted paid content from there customers! Its a huge shame as there shooting gameplay is up there as the best in the business its just everything else around it that lets it down.
On a side note I wish Push Square would stop saying Destiny 2 is Free to play thats very misleading as most of the free to play content has been deleted at least all the meaningful content has.
That explains why LEGO 2K Drive physical edition was heavily discounted for Black Friday! I have Powerwash Simulator but does mean I can sell my physical copy.
Its just seems like a dime a dozen multiplayer game not very exciting wonder if Matt and Trey have any involvement in this game like the last two games.
@Rocky1972 Yeah I bought Parappa a few years back and thought the same thing its unplayable at some points.
For peoples information Yakuza 6 and Like a dragon are leaving this month as well as the middle earth games so you don't have long to get those done if anyone is interested.
