I wish we would stop paying attention to leakers. They got everyone's hopes up by saying Wind Walker and Twilight Princess ports would be announced on Switch today and guess what, it didn't happen.
Right now it seems like too much. It wasn't that long ago people were complaining about the annual release of AC. We hoped Ubisoft would slow down a little but they are rolling ahead with Infinity. I don't really get it.
I can only speak from experience but 30% margin is pretty standard practice in most industries. There are some exceptions in either direction, like probably Apple. This seems frivolous.
I wish I had an answer. I rarely use the store for finding new games, rather use sites like this one and others, or youtube, etc. But there shouldn't be so many crap games to wade through for shoppers.
Many third party games come on console and PC at the same time or sooner than later. Sony porting games to PC is still kind of a new thing. How much are Sony PC ports supposed to cost if not full price?
They are both black kettles, calling each other such. They both do the same thing. MS wants every single game on Game Pass. I don't think anyone should be crying about unfair business practices.
This whole ordeal seems pretty crazy on the outside. Honestly I'm not unhappy the Scoob sequel was canned. I'm hoping they keep making the traditional Scooby-Doo direct to video movies.
There are tons of other options to use with Crunchyroll. Not a big deal IMO.
@themightyant Agree. There are some good things on both apps. Now that both are owned by Sony they need to merge the good features under one app and build more from there.
Has there been a price announced yet for Persona 5 Royal for PS5? I mean, I doubt it will be $19.99 or anything, but just curious how much they will charge. Is it really going to be $60?
At first I thought they were just going to sell an NFT figure and I was like WTH? No fan would want an NFT figure. Figures are super popular and are meant to be displayed.
Not good. I'm sure this game has sold well and a lot of people already own it on PS4. And why announce this crap when the game is coming to other systems so soon? Could make the PS5 look bad compared to other systems.
Maybe we'll see more free DLC suddenly? IDK if there are many PS4 games with DLC still locked behind limited editions. This is definitely strange, but it's just releasing DLC made years ago for free. They didn't have to put much effort into it.
I don't really care much for digital stuff on these rewards programs, unless they are games or DLC or similar. I still have most of my Nintendo coins since there is nothing I want like phone wallpaper and the like. I'd rather get something physical.
EA, or at least the people running their Twitter, living in their own fantasy world. People still love playing single player games, duh. People love playing online games too.
I really don't know who actually cares about console sales ranking besides the companies involved, and I supposes fanboys. Do you like games? All of them have good games.

Re: Rise of the Ronin Is a New Team Ninja Action Game, PS5 Console Exclusive Set for 2024
Probably the highlight of the show for me. Curious for more.
Re: Rumour: Lower Your Expectations for Tonight's State of Play
I wish we would stop paying attention to leakers. They got everyone's hopes up by saying Wind Walker and Twilight Princess ports would be announced on Switch today and guess what, it didn't happen.
Re: Talking Point: Is Assassin's Creed Moving in the Right Direction?
Right now it seems like too much. It wasn't that long ago people were complaining about the annual release of AC. We hoped Ubisoft would slow down a little but they are rolling ahead with Infinity. I don't really get it.
Re: Reaction: Publishers Are Getting Worse at Nintendo Direct-Style Livestreams
I just wait and watch the trailers themselves on Youtube. I don't care about people talking and such. Just show me the game or the movie previews.
Re: Assassin's Creed Mirage Sneaks to PS5, PS4 in 2023, Priced at $50
Didn't Ubisoft say they were slowing down with AC games? I guess not.
Re: Talking Point: What Do You Make of Microsoft and Sony's Call of Duty Quarrel?
Honestly I'm really sick of hearing about this in the news. I don't play CoD but I'm sick of the drama.
Re: Assassin's Creed Finally Goes to Japan as Ubisoft Takes on Ghost of Tsushima
Well, I'm excited to see more from both games. We'll see how they pan out.
Re: Rumour: Captain America, Black Panther Game from Amy Hennig Team Set for Reveal Today
@rachetmarvel Drawing something from the old Invaders comics would be pretty cool. How about Baron Blood. And better still Union Jack?
Re: The Last of Us PS5's Pricey Firefly Edition Shipping in Shocking Condition
I feel bad for the fans that really wanted this and get it in packaging like that. I wonder how many of the pre-orders were scalpers.
Re: Sony to Acquire Minority Stake in Elden Ring Dev FromSoftware
@JustPlainLoco I'm not sure if I want Sony buying Kadokowa. They already own Aniplex, Crunchyroll, etc.
Re: New PS5 Model Reportedly Lighter Than Ever
Personally don't care. I know it's still too early but I'm hoping for a slim model, in black preferably. I don't care for the current design at all.
Re: Amazon Not Acquiring EA After All, Rumour Debunked
@naruball I tend to agree. But I'm not a journalist, just a nobody.
Re: Sony Sued £5 Billion for 'Ripping Off' PS5, PS4 Players
I can only speak from experience but 30% margin is pretty standard practice in most industries. There are some exceptions in either direction, like probably Apple. This seems frivolous.
Re: Brief The Last of Us HBO Clip Posted Online
I like the casting, both really nice, especially Pedro. He was so good in GoT and Mandalorian.
Re: The Last of Us PS5 Remake Pays Tribute to Some of PlayStation's Greats
Jak and Daxter, Sly Cooper. Where are they now?
Re: Ooh La La! SEGA Plotting Space Channel 5, Comix Zone Movies
Would rather see more games, like a remaster/remake of Skies of Arcadia. And there are probably better SEGA IPs to make movies or anime.
Re: Devolver Debunks Ludicrous Rumour Claiming Sony Paid to Keep Cult of the Lamb Off Xbox Game Pass
Sigh. I remember the days when all we talked about were the games, not this rumor and acquisition BS. What a world.
Re: Sony Adjusts Default PS Store Sorting Amid Shovelware Backlash
I wish I had an answer. I rarely use the store for finding new games, rather use sites like this one and others, or youtube, etc. But there shouldn't be so many crap games to wade through for shoppers.
Re: Spider-Man PC Attracts Over 60,000 Concurrent Players at Launch
Many third party games come on console and PC at the same time or sooner than later. Sony porting games to PC is still kind of a new thing. How much are Sony PC ports supposed to cost if not full price?
Re: Microsoft Accuses Sony of Paying to Block Games from Xbox Game Pass
They are both black kettles, calling each other such. They both do the same thing. MS wants every single game on Game Pass. I don't think anyone should be crying about unfair business practices.
Re: Gamescom Opening Night Live Will Subject Us to More Sonic Frontiers
@Korgon @Royalblues Agree. I like to wait and see for myself on these things.
Re: Random: Can Sony Topple SEGA and Nintendo? Classic BBC Report Investigates
Summer of '95 I was thinking of either getting a Saturn or a PS1. Nothing against the Sega Saturn at all, but I'm glad I decided on the PS1.
Re: Face Your Demons in ONI: Road to Be the Mightiest Oni, Coming to PS5, PS4
Yes, I like the look of the game and hoping it's fun.
Re: Aw, Crap! Tom Holland's Uncharted Movie Makes Netflix Debut
@Korgon Agreed. It's pretty weird to say the least. Would rather see a cartoon-ish version from the games.
Maybe I'll check out the movie some weekend.
Re: MultiVersus Won't Be Affected by Batgirl and Warner Bros Drama
This whole ordeal seems pretty crazy on the outside. Honestly I'm not unhappy the Scoob sequel was canned. I'm hoping they keep making the traditional Scooby-Doo direct to video movies.
Re: Apologies PS3 Anime Fans! Crunchyroll Is Closing Down
There are tons of other options to use with Crunchyroll. Not a big deal IMO.
@themightyant Agree. There are some good things on both apps. Now that both are owned by Sony they need to merge the good features under one app and build more from there.
Re: Soapbox: No Free PS5 Upgrade for Persona 5 Royal Is an Insult to Fans and the Game Itself
@HarmanSmith @Korgon Same here. Politeness is a lost art.

Re: Square Enix Spits on the Spirit of Final Fantasy 7 with Cloud NFT Figure
At first I thought they were just going to sell an NFT figure and I was like WTH? No fan would want an NFT figure. Figures are super popular and are meant to be displayed.
But then I read the article. This is dumb.
Re: No Free PS4 to PS5 Upgrade Path for Persona 5 Royal
Not good. I'm sure this game has sold well and a lot of people already own it on PS4. And why announce this crap when the game is coming to other systems so soon? Could make the PS5 look bad compared to other systems.
Re: inFAMOUS: Second Son's Cole MacGrath DLC Is Now Free for Everyone
Maybe we'll see more free DLC suddenly? IDK if there are many PS4 games with DLC still locked behind limited editions. This is definitely strange, but it's just releasing DLC made years ago for free. They didn't have to put much effort into it.
Re: Random: Cats Watching Stray Is Your New Favourite Twitter Account
Don't let your dogs break your TV.
Re: Reaction: We Need to Talk About PS Plus Premium
I'm not excusing Sony from any criticism but doesn't Nintendo "drip feed" their retro titles as well? Or did that get better after time?
Re: PS5, PS4's Stray Is Helping to Save Cats' Lives
Good to hear. This make a lot of sense for the game.
Re: PS Stars' Digital Collectibles Are 'Definitely Not' NFTs, Sony Stresses
I don't really care much for digital stuff on these rewards programs, unless they are games or DLC or similar. I still have most of my Nintendo coins since there is nothing I want like phone wallpaper and the like. I'd rather get something physical.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 433
Probably Pocky and Rocky Reshrined since it just arrived. Otherwise I'm watching some anime and keeping tabs on news from the Anime Expo.
Re: No inFAMOUS or Sly Cooper Games in Development, Sucker Punch Confirms
Just wishful thinking. Why do this to us with rumors of games that are not coming?
Re: Random: EA Gets Destroyed for Trying to Meme About Single-Player Games on Twitter
EA, or at least the people running their Twitter, living in their own fantasy world. People still love playing single player games, duh. People love playing online games too.
Re: SEGA Considering Movie Adaptations of Persona Games
No thanks. Opinions vary but it seems like beloved franchises are rarely treated well by Hollywood.
Re: PS5 Stock Shortages Force Format to Fall Behind Xbox for a Second Week in Japan
I really don't know who actually cares about console sales ranking besides the companies involved, and I supposes fanboys. Do you like games? All of them have good games.
Re: PSA: PS Plus Extra, Premium Games Removed from Service Aren't Yours to Keep Forever
They are removing games so soon after the relaunch of the service? That seems weird to me.
Re: Baldo: The Guardian Owls Gets a Ton of Free Content in The Three Fairies Update
Youtube channel Switchup just published their updated review of Baldo.
Re: The Last of Us: Part I's Out of Stock PS5 Firefly Edition Fetching $450 on eBay
They were listed for $450 on eBay within hours of going on sale. This is sad but old news already. This is the norm now.
Re: Baldo: The Guardian Owls Gets a Ton of Free Content in The Three Fairies Update
I've heard a lot of the issues have been fixed. I'm waiting for Youtube channel Switchup to do a deep dive video but they said it was much better.
Re: Spiritual Suikoden Successor Eiyuden Chronicle Now Aiming for 2023 Release on PS5, PS4
The 2D / 3D trend continues. Looks really nice.
Re: The PS5, PS4 Release Schedule in 2023 Is Officially Ridiculous
Wow. An embarrassment of riches.
Re: Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Is Remake 2, PS5 Exclusive, Out Winter 2023
Great announcement. I don't care about exclusivity, just glad the game is coming. Lots of fans out there are happy.
Re: Dragon's Dogma 2 Officially in Development
Happy to hear, fans wanted this no doubt. Still need to play the original myself.
Re: Explore Sword and Fairy: Together Forever's Rolling Vistas in New Trailer, Coming to PS5, PS4 on 4th August
This looks interesting. A fresh world and story is always welcome.
Re: Interview: Falcom on The Legend of Heroes' Future, Bringing New Trails Games West, and More
I hope these games make it west sooner than later. There are a lot of fans that will eat these games up.
