@ChrisDeku The Japanese don’t really buy XBox games in general, physical or digital.

Unsurprised at this news, this game seemed completely uninteresting, sadly.

You forgot to include “If there’s a physical copy, I’ll buy it.”

@get2sammyb I have no comment except that “AssCreed” is such an unfortunate contraction of Assassin’s Creed… XD

Suddenly my peasant-class PS5 is looking pretty good!

@Anguspuss Please, let’s not toss around such slanderous comments like 4 pages of dlc.

…it’ll be EIGHT pages of dlc. At launch. Can’t speak for two weeks after release, though.

@EVIL-C …how would unionization have prevented the current situation?

Wait, you mean buying every studio you can and expecting pure profit ISN’T a sure way to success?

My god, whodathunkit?

“Legacy of Kain fans who subscribe to PS Plus above the Essentials level will be feasting.”

FTFY.

@Keyblade-Dan That’s a lot of words for “I don’t understand why people like a thing I don’t like.”

Twenty years with no Half-Life 3…

@get2sammyb I respectfully disagree. If the games industry would be worse off without Ubisoft, then the video game industry really IS near collapse and probably deserves to do so.

If Ubisoft goes under as a result of lackluster triple-A (and QUADRUPLE-A, let’s not forget that pirate game they were so proud of!) games and a famously stupid (even out of context) quote about learning not to own our games, I will be sad for the people who lost their jobs but I won’t mourn Ubisoft itself for one second.

Oh no, the folks who botched the original versions aren’t featured in the versions that are far less botched.

Anyway!

@Matroska I typed C instead of G. I beg forgiveness.

Oh no, a likely not super GPU taxing game that runs on the Switch isn’t Pro enhanced!

3/10 too much non-Pro.

Edit: corrected CPU to GPU.

@Rog-X Tell me you’re a MS fanboy without telling me you’re a MS fanboy. XD

Tim Russ is an excellent actor. I’m sure he’ll do a great job.

RIP Lance Reddick.

@Vega37 You’re thinking of the Pro. The slim comes in digital and physical. You can add a drive to the slim digital model, but there are definitely slims with the drive included. You can see them at every retailer and on Sony’s own website.

@Lup Pfft. Peasants use the PS6 Pro. I’m holding out for the PS6.5 Pro Max!

@Lup It needs a remake of the remastered remake!

@LogicStrikesAgain PSN is a proprietary signin on a proprietary platform that is linked to every game played on said proprietary platform.

PC is not a proprietary platform and games can be played from almost every non-console storefront. Large difference.

@get2sammyb So other than tracking someone’s gameplay stats, what use is there for a PSN signin for a single player game on PC?

That’s still the sticking point here. People can say “it’s no big deal, just sign up, storm in a teacup!” all they want, but it should not be required for a single player game, period. Whether it’s a hardship or not, whether it’s easy or not, there’s no justification beyond “we want to track your playtime.”

@LogicStrikesAgain By that logic, every game on Steam should require that each game has an account signed in from each developer since technically they’d be providing the updates. That isn’t the case, and updates on Steam are delivered via Steam and not directly from the developer.

@LogicStrikesAgain Not every country has PSN. Simple reason, easily addressed by Sony.

Not so simple reason: explain why someone should need an account to play a single player game? At all? I shouldn’t need a PSN account to play a game purchased from Steam that has no online interaction whatsoever. The existence of the Steam account should be enough, Sony doesn’t need to know when/where I play my legally purchased single player game.

I’m not a PC gamer (heck, I don’t even OWN a Windows machine!), but anyone who doesn’t understand why this is an annoyance isn’t trying hard enough.

It’s good that Sony retroactively recognized its errors here. Bland dime-store Guardians of the Galaxy designs did not a good game make.

The poll results don’t surprise me too much so far. I figured there’d be some very interested folks who preordered, and there’d be people like me who are perfectly satisfied with their peasant-class PS5 and don’t want to pay the additional Blu-ray drive add-on tax to play their existing games.

More power (quite literally!) to the Pro purchasers, I’ll enjoy my regular PS5, Series X and Switch.

The Switch 2, on the other hand, will be an instant purchase for me.

Every Walmart I’ve been to in my area of the US has multiple disc drives in stock at the actual stores.

Seems like they’re plentiful here, so at least Pro purchasers here won’t be screwed!

@IOI The company that did this remaster only does remasters. They didn’t take time away from any other projects other than additional remasters by making this.

As far as money, I doubt the resources needed to make this were all that onerous.

“Adorably” all digital.

You misspelled “horrifyingly.”

@ShaneReactions My point is that you can search for trailers yourself very easily, and it’s in their own interest to post links to their reviews instead.

@ShaneReactions Or you can just search for the trailers. Makes sense they’d link to their own reviews.

@Yagami So….the entire game is not your thing, then?

@Frmknst You can say that it didn’t, but it did.

I’m on board for this, simply because Elite didn’t have all the content from the original game and (to my knowledge) the original never got a PS4 release.

I treasure my Vita copies of the original and S;G 0, and I like Elite for what it is, but I hope this new version ONLY adds and doesn’t subtract from the original.

Dammit. I was hoping this would be good.

Amazon has been really scattershot in its adaptations, and I was hoping this would go for the “good” side. Sigh.

plays Metaphor ReFantazio and happily resists wasting money on more Ubislop

@StrickenBiged That’s good. I only have it digitally and I’d pony up a reasonable amount for it.

Or I’ll skip it altogether since my backlog is already stupidly gigantic. Either or!

The original ran like crap, and I’d hope there’d be some kind of upgrade for owners of the original.

“Want subtitles? Subscribe to our yearly text DLC for only $10!”

“Would you like non-grayscale? Try our HDR add-on for only $30 a month!”

Forspoken is $19.99 on disc at the Walmart discount bin.

@AgentGuapo Never claimed there wasn’t. Just no use for me, since I don’t feel like paying another $70 on top of the $699 for a console just to play the majority of my owned games. I’ll live with my peasant-class PS5.

sighs in still no Bloodborne updates

Oh good, the amount of money I won’t spend is less than it was before!

I first saw Lance Reddick in his role on Fringe, and he was just so freaking good. Turns out he was so freaking good in EVERY role he ever took.

The man will be missed, and whoever takes over Sylens’ role has very large shoes to fill.

Absolutely picking this up. Glad I held out for the disc version!

@MidnightDragonDX Indeed, imagine having to GO INTO AN OFFICE to work! And three days a week, to boot, not the entire workweek!

What egregious and unfair working conditions! I have to go into the office three days a week too, and it’s SUCH TORTURE oh wait it’s a perfectly reasonable request. Never mind.

Glad to see that XBox money Atlus got was well spent!

At least they’re doing the right thing instead of refusing to change it. I mean, they already did stupid things, probably best to walk this one back a tinge.
