So if they don't like "another Concord" tag, we can call it "Concord 2"

I still don't see any else purpose to screw game stories with live actions except writers lack of self ideas.

1) SE will never be happy!
2) FF16 had good story, but everything was killed by real-time battles and too many effects. In most fights I barely oriented and those uber-mega fights were just one huge effect noise. Most of times I won just by random smashing buttons, because I didn't even know what is going on.
3) FF7 remakes pretty suffered from real-time battles too. One huge chaos. And I'll never get why they cut FF7 into three pieces? I won't play it until it is complete.

Don't know if there is connection, but my Vampire Survivors crashed right now. After 50 hours (total) first crash. Yes, I get to the point where my arsenal was huge so the screen was just flashing like crazy rainbow, but still...

...and Spotify normaly continued to play.

DS2 made me the most teeth squeezing to finish. I love DS1, I liked DS2 too, but - the hell - it was sooooooo loooooong... For action game it was ...ehhh... The most long action game I've ever finished and never want to replay it.

And I was wondering what that "Improved system quality and stability" updates mean...

@Deadlyblack rather play 2 or 3... Diablo 4 is fun for first walkthrough but than it has almost zero replayability.

Last cosmetics I bought were for Pain (ps3) until I realised it has no benefits for game. I was stupid to not recognize it for a first sight... until than I'm avoiding it precisely except cheap deluxe editions of older games that contain it.

I hope they left behind those responsible for character design in IoA, because they made the most ugly characters in gaming history.

Sorry Sony, but nothing is more fun, than building your own PC. Yes, it is tedious to setup Windows (especially 10 and 11) but a few hack to get access to options is not so much work.

I think PS5 Pro won't run anything in 4K 60fps. That's why they present AI (yes, damn AI) balancer for fps and graphics.

How to disable it completely?

It took me 3 years to use to absolutely chaotic unintuitive ps5 UI. I really don't need another obstacles...

I opted 499 because it is 627 actualy.

Am I the only one who feels anything faster than 30fps as artificial??? I played FF16 on performance for about a minute, but had to switch back to fidelity because I was feeling nausea...

I smell scalpers are making stockpiles...

To sell PS5 Pro over 13 mil. pieces is only possible if PS6 (2026) would cost around £1500 and have no backwards compatibility.

As ugly as other PS5s.

But for £50 per plate (all 4 pieces sold separately) you can buy black ones that a bit hides PS5 inside shelf.

I told few days ago Sony will tag it £1000. If you add basic accessories that should be included, but are sold separately I was not so far from truth...

I think this grandpa still believe that loaf of bread cost 10 cents.

I hope so. I didn't finished first one, because I recieved jump pack. I hope SM2 doesn't have jump packs...

Looks like Sony started it's plan B codename "Revenge for Concord" I expect PS5 Pro will be tagged with £1000 price.

@Savage_Joe Wait a minute, GoW creator is right, because it is sad to see Kratos as geront.

@get2sammyb I find a lot of good stuff for ZX Spectrum, but Arcade for example contain a lot of names I don't know simply because our country was behind iron curtain and there was little number of consoles and games smuggled to our country.

I was scrolling thru their library and found maybe 5 games of interest. A lot of big names are missing ...almost every...

@riceNpea A product that is pulled from shelves begins to be special for collectors because it is piece of history. It's hugely rejected by people so it bears it's own story. It became historical proof of what humankind made wrong. These items will be relics and collectors know it.

Buying out high demand product (ps5 on release) and reselling it for higher price is pure robbing of stupid people not willing to wait. But buying out product that will never be available any more, due of it's limited produce, is parasiting because they are "robbing" chance for other people to get it normaly. These both examples are highly immoral and greedy ...and this is scalping. Buying out product, take chance from others to get it, product you'll never use personally, only for making money on reselling it for higher price.
Stupidity of people buying from scalpers is different story.

@riceNpea They are scalpers because they are scalping you of your money, for limited product they buyout, or (in this case) product that will soon became limited. In other words: Scalpers are those ****erfu***ers who parasite on special items/events they didn't made only because they have money and ordering bots.

If Sony didn't understand Concord Message it may be time to send Fair Game Message there will be no $.

Seriously, it will be very interresting to see how Concord Message affected gaming industry. If it was more about "modern audience" tag rejection or rather whole GaaS rejection. One way or another this game is on choping block already.

I personally have below zero interest in GaaSes and I'm against releasing any new ones.

@get2sammyb "However, I think the company's decision to axe this game in two weeks signals a much bigger issue: how did this game ever make it to market with this being the outcome?"

They selfishly thought people will still buy it. They always put zero weight onto gamers opinions, because they think we, who disagree, are tiny minority.

Whole problem of Sony is their desperate chase for another milking cow (GaaS) sacrificing what is vital fo them (singleplayer). They followed voice of Syrene...

It is complete nonsense singleplayer games are more expensive and takes too long to make. Assassin's Creed were released every year and sell like bread. No one needs dozens of 200+ hours long games, but dozens of simple fun games even if they are 40 hours long.

They should calm down everybody (devs) and stop thinking that their game MUST be bigger than others. Quantity doesn't mean quality!

Focus on fun, not on "it must fit to everybody" and money. When there is love, money comes. When there is chasing something, money leaves.

Gaming world needs to take a break and breathe for a while...

@BacklogBrad If rest of production will be landfilled then yes, it will have huge value even if never playable again.

@naruball You can play Helldivers 2 also single player, don't you?

@GrimWillows Uhh I was thinking it's the same... Going to give it a try tomorrow (if it can be downloaded again)

@Keyblade-Dan Rather Jim Ryan should get bill to pay all of this.... it was his idea to push GaaSes.

Do someone remember those Concord airplanes? And how they ended?

The best idea is to scrap it all and forget all future of Concord. Any try would be only entertainment for crowds. Just record it to history "how chasing money went bad".

@BacklogBrad Collector items have value if they are working. Without server you can use it just as drink glass pad.

@IOI by buldozer...

Sound like Sony's right game for PS+ monthly picks...

@Pinkman of course it is worth it.

Naaaah... I've wasted all my gaming money on Vampire Survivors, no more games till christmas.

@Buckster Yes, Survivor.io is ripoff Vampire Survivors.

As others say... It is about Series S. That machine is weaker than Switch.

Only if it's singleplayer offline.

I've searched thru all games they offer and there is nothing that I cannot play elsewhere for free.

I didn't play Astrobot Playroom because of unskipable necessity of PS4 camera. Do Astro Bot suffer same issue? (I think it is not spoiler, rather question about system requirements)

@zebric21 Immortals of Avenum may be good game too, but I had to stop it playing simply because of extremly ugly characters.

Current state of worldwide gaming is pretty serious material for research. Someone should sit and make overall summary of it. Count everything and put it together. That should give us, and especially developers, a picture on which we can seriously predict future projects. Or did it somebody in last, let's say, 3 years?

@zebric21 I don't think poor food served on golden plate with decorations for free makes it any better...

@get2sammyb I think I may say I'm questioning for all of us around. Why it is only 9/10 and not 10/10 ? What EXACTLY is that one star loss??? And put jokes aside, you are serious journalist, so please answer us what is that issue ( yes not all trophies ding, but it is not fault of game, it's fault of PS5). Thank you.

Ohh I have so bitter taste on my tongue... It is not fault of game, but AGAIN fault of PS5. If you unlock more than 3 trophies at once, you get just one pop-up. So on second run I've been robbed of 13 trophy dings. Thank you Sony! You always know how to ruin the fun... 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Okay, bought all dlcs also... this game deserves it.

Bought it few minutes ago. Didn't know it has also good music. I've finished it on phone, now it is time for PS5...
The only issue is it's messing up PS5 resolution. Any tips how to avoid resizing of screen?
