@Sergo 120 euros is MSRP here but no one has them in stock. I'd "happily" pay that. Prices here on Ebay are starting at 220 now. Can you recommend any Bulgarian retailers? Maybe I'll find one that ships it across Europe.
@LowDefAl Yeah, same. Still have some digital games with Pro support that will close the gap a bit. I still haven't played the Alan Wake DLCs, for example.
When I got my Pro pre-order in, the disc drive was still in stock everywhere in Europe. Silly me was thinking: Nah, I don't need to order that right now.
Well, talk about a mistake. Every retailer here has told me the next drives will arrive some time in December at the earliest.
I wish more games did that. Gyro aim makes games so much better for me. Granted, I was a PC and mouse/keyboard player for a long time, but I still can't properly aim with a controller. It's passable but far from great. I usually try to make up for it by strafing. Gyro almost feels like a mouse if implemented properly, Horizon FW and Helldivers 2 being the best examples I've found so far.
I have very special memories with this game as it got me back into gaming. I just got my first salary. Having that amount of money at once was tempting, so I bought a PS3 because why not, you got to treat yourself, right? I liked playing on PlayStation 1 and 2 although I hadn't done so in maybe 2 years, so what could go wrong? What ended up happening was I used my PS3 primarily as a Bluray player and didn't really game on it. Some day, I saw a very brief snippet of Uncharted 2 and thought: I loved Tomb Raider back in the day, so that looks fun, pre-ordered it on Amazon and forgot about it for months. Later that year, I had knee surgery and was released home. The doctors said I need to rest the leg for another 10 days, so: Just chill and don't move unless you absolutely have to. But man was I bored. The next day my grilfriend came home with an Amazon package and I absolutely didn't know what it was since I hadn't ordered anything. Obviously, it was my Uncharted 2 copy. Although I was so done with gaming at the time, the boredom took over, so I popped it in and started playing. The game reignited my love for the art form, so it holds a very special place in my heart. Uncharted is one of my favorite franchises until today.
@Shepherd_Tallon Mate, I wish I could experience those levels of immersion. I think I'm dead inside, lol. VR must be the absolute nightmare for you with horror games.
My physical copy arrived today. The original is among my top 3 favorite game of all time. Needless to say, I'll be all over it on the weekend whenever I find the time.
@Frmknst Because laws and taxes in a competitive marketplace, that's why. Not exactly a hard concept to grasp when a private person is acting commercially.
Story time: it's 1997 and I had just gotten my PS1 for Christmas. I was visiting a friend in a VERY small town, which had a video game store roughly the size of my bedroom. Not only was it in a small town, the store was even hidden in that town. We went there with all of our pocket money. I had no idea about new games, how they reviewed etc. And then I browsed the games and had a copy of Broken Sword in my hand. The case was beat up, the manual was torn and the disc looked like someone used it as a coaster. Then I took a look at the back of the box and remember being amazed by the graphics. But I had no idea about the game whatsoever, didn't even know the genre. But the graphics alone made me pick it up with all the money I had left.
We went home, popped it in and then I saw the cursor. I had no idea how to control George Stobbart and when I found out it was point and click and you couldn't shoot anyone, I was seriously disappointed. I just dumped all my money, so I tried to make it worth it. I read the manual and solved my first puzzles.
The rest is history. 27 years later, Broken Sword is still my favorite game series.Needless to say, I'll be all over this.
As silent as Sony has become. I'll take it over what the Xbox division does any day of the week. It's insane how much they have muddied the waters over the last couple of years. I thought Sony was bad at times, but Xbox easily takes the cake.
@DazzaUK1985 I was literally 5 minutes late for Kickstarter. Had it bookmarked for quite a while and got the notification e-mail that support options would be running out "today". Silly me assumed this meant until midnight. Nope. So no physical copy for me.
Unfortunately, I am totally immune to both jumpscares as well as psychological horror. I recognize the eerie atmosphere, but I am not feeling it if that makes sense. Now, VR is another thing entirely luckily, lol. However, P.T. was the only non VR game that truly gave me chills.
I won't ever use it, but I needed to have it, just to have it sit next to the Astro Bot Nendoroid figure and plush . Also finally bought a FF Pixel Remaster physical copy today. Wallet's tapping out.
@DTfearTheBEARD most likely, I'll never use it as I'm using the Edge as well. But I'm a huge Astro Bot fan and I need it as a shelf piece next to my Nendoroid figure for no effing reason 😂

I'd love to try it. Unfortunately, they removed it from PS Plus and I'm still waiting for a disc drive for the Pro, lol.

@Styledvinny79 A lot of times, it doesn't even hit 30.
Re: Site News: Where's Our Until Dawn PS5 Review?
@Voltan Let me put it this way: I can see why they sent review copies that late.
Re: Site News: Where's Our Until Dawn PS5 Review?
"Review copies were only sent out yesterday"
That's funny, because I've already played through it. Got that one super early for whatever reason.
