@get2sammyb it’s important to note these numbers include digital sales of digital only games, DLC and eshop/PSN MTX currencies.
Sales data that compares a game that has a physical to only the full game sales skew in favor of physical usually (look at the insomniac leaks or capcom sales data)
@get2sammyb the nintendo 3DS diary app should be standardized on all platforms. Let me check silly data like how often I’ve started a game, my average playtime between start ups, my daily, weekly, monthly and yearly playtime averages. And let me sort them by silly categories like most days played.
@nessisonett this yeah. As long as emulators are just that, emulators, they can go on the appstore. Just gonna load the roms ourselves. Excited to use my iPhone 15 as an emulation machine. My old laptop hit the dust and none of my emulation capable consoles support fancy gimmicks like save states or rewind.
@Musharna new fortnite PS+ packs always release a week after the new season starts alongside a new starter pack, Save the World pack and now a new Lego pack.
@ShogunRok IMHO FF7 isn’t even top 5 best FFs when entries like 9 exist.
I vastly prefer remake and rebirth over og 7 too.
7 also doesn’t hit as hard if you didn’t grow up with it unlike a lot of the other entries.
@Fritz167 not everyone has had the ability to play these, especially young people. And not everyone has acces to old hardware and games (or emulation), especially young people.
I completed Final Fantasy XVI on Ps5 last week and I’m currently replaying Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age on my Switch.
Also trying to reach level 200 in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1 on Ps5/Switch/Xbox before Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth release.
Beyond that gonna play some Powerwash Simulator on XSX
Getting it for my birthday but my parents where sweet enough to let me play it at launch (3 weeks in advance). It’ll still be delivered at my parents place though so have to wait 1 day before I can play it as my dad comes over to walk the dog with me every saterday.
@Falkirk4life sony does not own the IP. I have no clue why PlayStations fans always parrot that unfounded lie. Disney owns the IP almost fully with the sole exception of movies. Disney puts him in everything these days and sony can’t do anything about it.
@Flaming_Kaiser yeah spider-man ps4/5 is supposedly part of the deal that gave disney SM in the MCU. Although that’s hasn’t been confirmed yet and is purely based on insiders saying it.
@Bamila like I mentioned prior. Sony does not own spider-man. Disney does. Sony only owns the movie rights and the rights to make merch specifically based on the movie incarnations.
Anything else, from videogames to comics to tv to toys is fully disney. Including insomniac’s spider-man.
@croaker_1 this is completely and utterly false. Sony only owns the movie licenses and nothing else. Disney has full control over comic, tv, toy, merchandise and videogame licensing for spider-man and spider-man adjacent characters.
PlayStation gets Spider-Man and Wolverine. Xbox gets Blade. Multiplatfom gamers win as they get a high budget take on all these IPs. Long live owning all platforms!
Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1: Underground is starting this weekend so I’ll be playing that a lot tomorrow. Beyond that I’m trying to 100% complete Wario Land 3 and PowerWash Simulator
I beat Mega Man: Dr. Wily’s Revenge recently which was disappointing.
Currently playing Powerwash Simulator which is amazing, Persona 5 Tactica which is quite fun and playing a lot of Fortnite OG with friends which has been a blast.
Just beat OG FF7 for the first time completely blind beyond the mid game twist. Beyond hyped for rebirth.
Also @lifegirl I don’t get why the internet thinks the aerith spoiler is free real estate. Yeah the game is old but plenty of people are still being born and retroactively want to play it. That’s a huge twist just out in the open. I certainly would’ve been baffled by it if I wasn’t told before.
Ps4 is by far my least favorite of all 7 consoles (vita>ps3>psp>ps1>ps2>ps5>ps4) but I still love it. It’s great and my favorite of the 3 gen 8 homeconsoles not counting the switch. It sits right in the middle of the generation in general (vita>3ds>ps4>wiiU>Xone)
Beat Like a Dragon Gaiden a few days ago and absolutely cried at that ending. Also beat Castlevania Bloodlines and reached level 50+ in Fortnite OG
I’ve currently beaten 99 games this year and 299 unique games since 2017 so I’m doing an almost blind playthrough of Final Fantasy 7. The only things I know are the twist the internet has spoiler for the past 20 years now and everything that was brought over to 7 Remake.
@HeeHo this was leaked on several occasions throughout 2022 and 2023. The expectation was that it would be called LEGO FIFA 2K24. Take two aquired both the FIFA and LEGO license last year for exclusive development and they expressed to only have interest in lego sports titles.
Ordered the Play-Asia ps5 physical which will arrive in 3 weeks. Playing it on gamepass atm. Played every game and spin on excluding OG ps2 1 and 2 and dead souls. Even played Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise.
Are people even reading the article? It’s not 4% physical games and 96% digital games. It’s 4% physical games, 21% digital games and 75% microtransactions.
Beat Dead Space (2023) on my XSX yesterday and Professor Layton and the Lost Future alongside the original PL trilogy on my 3DS.
Started playing Final Fantasy VII on my Switch today which is a mostly blind playthrough beyond the Aerith twist and what I know from FF7R. Also started Fortnite Chapter 4 Season OG on PS5 yesterday. Never played before ch3 s3 so it’s pretty neat. And finally I started Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask on my 3DS.
@Lukasamba @Member_the_game @IOI DoesItPlay recently released the specific numbers on how many ps4/5 games work from the disc.
14% of games specifically on ps4/5 don’t work at all without an update or online connection because they’re either not fully on disc, broken without updates or always online.
16% of games work without an update straight from the disc but have updates add more content. Games like minecraft, no man’s sky, ghostwire tokyo and stardew valley.
70% of games are fully playable without updates straight from the disc and have their updates fix minor issues like stability, minor bugs or don’t have updates at all.
Also keep in mind minor bugs have always been a thing in every console generation, but they only became fixable with updates during the 7th generation.
I beat TOEM and Ace Attorney: Justice for All last week and I’m currently playing Solar Ash and Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations.
With spooky month starting tomorrow I’m gonna play spooky games all month. My plan is to beat Super Castlevania IV, Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow, House of the Dead: Overkill, Until Dawn and Luigi’s Mansion 3 amongst other games.
Very maybe I’ll try Silent Hill 2 but that game is too spooky for me.
I beat Firewatch on my Xbox Series X last week and I continued playing Ace Attorney: Justice for All on Switch which I’m at the final episode for. I also started playing Baten Kaitos Remastered which is fun so far.
Beyond that I bought a handful of games including Gato Robotto, The Messenger, Neon White, Warhammer 40.000 Boltgun, Loop Hero and The Many Pieces of Mr. Coo which I might start too.
I beat Starfield yesterday on the Xbox Series X after playing it for almost 70 hours. Currently continuing my playthrough of Ace Attorney: Justice for All I started on my Switch before Starfield.
Planning on starting Firewatch later and finally starting either God of War: Ghost of Sparta or Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time on Ps3. Might also start Baten Kaitos 1+2 HD on the switch.
@Nepp67 the devs also made monkey balls before yakuza, the monkey balls remakes on current hardware, the virtua fighter 5 remake a few years ago and binary domain.
And while yes, BD and OG monkey balls where made before the studio was called RGG studios they where still made by RGG studios.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 549
Beat Mr Mosquito and Secret Agent Clank on Ps5 last week, including the platinum for Mosquito. Also beat Mega Man III on Switch/NSO.
Currently playing The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages and Ace Attorney: Spirit of Justice.
The plan is to start something for spooky month after. Maybe the original Ps2 Silent Hill 2 Director’s Cut or Luigi’s Mansion 3 on Switch.

Been playing sly all day and it’s great. So happy they made a new emulator.
Re: Sony Seems to Have Broken the PS5's Game Time Tracker, Again
@EckoTheFox yeah I hate that my Fortnite hours have been reset. Easily my most played game.
Re: Sony Seems to Have Broken the PS5's Game Time Tracker, Again
Late but I just noticed my Fortnite playtime jumped from 868 hours to 68 total
Re: Poll: What Did You Think of Sony's State of Play for May 2024?
Astro Bot and Dynasty Warriors made this a winner for me
Re: Sony Seems to Have Broken the PS5's Game Time Tracker, Again

Re: Ghost of Tsushima on PC Attracts 57K Player Peak on Launch Day
Should’ve been the biggest as IMHO it’s the best of the bunch.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 528
I beat God of War: Ragnarok yesterday and it was amazing. Of the 8 games I only have 3 and Ghost of Sparta left.
Currently playing Nier Replicant which is great so far. Also playing Capcom Arcade Stadium and Theatrhythm Fina Bar Line on and off.

Re: UK Sales Charts: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Debuts at the Top, Helldivers 2 Holds Firm
@ShogunRok IMHO FF7 isn’t even top 5 best FFs when entries like 9 exist.
I vastly prefer remake and rebirth over og 7 too.
7 also doesn’t hit as hard if you didn’t grow up with it unlike a lot of the other entries.
Re: Pentiment and Hi-Fi Rush Treated to Physical PS5 Versions by Limited Run Games
@Krydle physical games actually sell more than they used to.
It’s just that digital is growing at a faster rate.
Re: Microsoft Exec on Helldivers 2: I'm Not Sure Who It Helps By Not Being on Xbox
It helped PlayStation/sony.
It’s literally their IP despite being third party developed.
This just feels like phil fueling exclusive hate.
Re: Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered Starring Lara Croft (PS5) - The New Standard for PS1 Re-Releases

Re: Capcom Assures Fans Dormant Ace Attorney Series Will Continue

Re: Poll: Which Persona Game Has the Best Opening?
Persona 4 Golden and Dancing are my favorites but absolutely love the P3 Reload one too!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 510
Almost finished with my 100% run of Final Fantasy XVI on Ps5 and after that I want to play Evil West.
Also still playing Theatrhythm Final Bar Line on my Switch.
Not planning on playing much because I want to be done with everything when Like a Dragon 8 and subsequently Final Fantasy VII Rebirth release.
Re: Preview: Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth Is the First PS5 Must-Play of 2024
Getting it for my birthday but my parents where sweet enough to let me play it at launch (3 weeks in advance). It’ll still be delivered at my parents place though so have to wait 1 day before I can play it as my dad comes over to walk the dog with me every saterday.
Re: God of War Trilogy PS5 Remaster Rumours Surface from Suspect Source
At that point just include the psp games and ascension too. Chains of Olympus is a big point of reference in the new dlc anyway.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 508
A lot of Theatrhythm Final Bar Line until Christmas when I can finally start Final Fantasy XVI.
Beyond that I started Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel and The Darkness
Re: Fortnite Fans Can't Believe There's No Winterfest Cabin on PS5, PS4 This Xmas
I love the cabin and all its easter eggs.
Sad they made it a simple tab in quests this year.
Re: Could Marvel's Blade Come to PS5? Bethesda Declines to Comment

@Bamila like I mentioned prior. Sony does not own spider-man. Disney does. Sony only owns the movie rights and the rights to make merch specifically based on the movie incarnations.

I beat Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 1 & 2 in the past week and started playing Solar Ash.
Still chipping away at Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations and I finally started Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 4 after taking a break from the game.
