@Revadarius You can easily google that ign about inflation. You can read that if you type in google but not sure what’s wrong with the link? You can look at from from another view. They sometimes make sequels to recoup the loss. Shadow of tomb raider costs 75-100 millions USD despite it being a sequel and the potential to reuse the assets from previous 2 games. That doesn’t even include the marketing cost yet. So I disagree with your opinion on game production cost.
The beauty of cosmetics MTX is you have an option not to buy it and it will have no effect on everyone experience at all whether people buy it or not.
@Revadarius I agree more people are buying games now. But no inflation? read this https://uk.ign.com/articles/2013/10/15/the-real-cost-of-gaming-inflation-time-and-purchasing-power.
Don't forget GBP has lost value against USD since Brexit referendum.
Remember more people are pirating now and pirating is much more easier these days. Yes series like FIFA, COD use the previous asset. Even then, it is reported that it takes 3 years to make a COD games. While the tech has improved a lot over 2 decades, it takes longer to make a good game. Gone are the days of releasing RE 2, 3 and Veronica every year back in 90s and palette color swap like in Mortal Kombat. By the way, I'd choose RE over COD everyday, not a fan of 1st person shooter.
If it is just for cosmetic, I think it's fair. After all, the price of the game remains the same for more than a decade or 2, while the cost of production has soared, even if you don't consider the inflation.
I am still wishing they animate the third arc of Kenshin and can even continue with new arc after that. It really deserve that. One of my favourites ever. Also the first ever anime I watch.
GTA online is very popular. GTA online is full of a...oles. I think most people who are whining now are just pirates. They can't pirate if it is always online.
Very happy for this. They deserve this. Just finished today and it is 3 in the morning! I really like the game. The branching paths are very deep and the outcomes of choices are unpredictable unlike telltale game. I am sure this game deserved more than 7. Comparing this to telltale games are ridiculous as telltale games are very limited and you can guess the outcome from the choices you made. The story is engaging. I particularly like Kara's as her story is grounded and intimate. The game is not that short if you try to talk and see everything it offers even if you don't replay for another outcome. Well worth the money. Oh yeah I bought GOW on D1 too. Still haven't finished yet. Hope Quantic dreams make another game soon. That will be Day 1 buy for me.
Detroit has one of the best soundtracks. I like Kara story and music best. The game is 10/10 for me. Comparing this to telltale game is wrong in the first place. This is totally at another level.
I'm afraid Sony's exclusive first party games (almost all are single player anyway) will be affected by the jailbreak and piracy in the future. This is very bad for both Sony and gamer like us. If that becomes too worse, Sony might even push PS5 forward. Personally I wouldn't if the console requires always online or requiring to connect every week or month.
@Rob_230 I recently finished Heavy Rain and just started Beyond 2 souls in original order. Would you suggest to play in remixed (chronological order)? Please somebody advise me.

Re: PS5 Will Ship 6 Million Units in Just a Few Months, Analyst Predicts
@RenanKJ How much it cost now? AFAIK, it is always much more expensive there because of tax.
Re: E3 2019: Contra: Rogue Corps May Not Be the Reboot You Wanted
It doesn't look bad. Sometimes I just want some mindless fun with my buddies. I will definitely buy it when a bit cheaper.

Re: Review: Guacamelee! 2 (PS4)
So local co op only, no online coop?
Re: Talking Point: How Much Does Cross-Play Matter to You?
I'm a PS fan. Let's say at the moment PS is allowing cross play and Xbox is not. I don't give that a darn too.

@get2sammyb Nothing to do with this article. Can you write the best racing wheels for PS4 please?

Re: E3 2018: Ghost of Tsushima Gameplay Brings Blood and Samurai Sunsets
They obviously watched the old samurai movies. These movies used a lot of shadow fights.

Re: Review: Detroit: Become Human (PS4)
@tatsumi Hi are themes and avatars any good? I'm going to buy it today. Need to decide the version.
Re: Review: Detroit: Become Human (PS4)
Could anyone show me the digital deluxe dynamic theme and 10 avatars please? Thinking which version to buy. I already have heavy rain though.
Re: Detroit: Become Human Gets Amazing Japanese Short Movie
Somebody need to translate this!
Re: Detroit: Become Human's Box Art Is Just As Bad in Japan
Is it so difficult to use the face of 3 characters with Kara in the middle as a cover?
Re: Hands On: Guacamelee! 2 Brings Mexican Madness Back to PS4
Is co-op only local?
Re: Spider-Man PS4 Includes Photo Mode, Excludes Microtransactions
Wish I could hurt civilians though.
Re: Lara Croft Steps Out of the Shadow of the Tomb Raider Tomorrow
The first one is great. I enjoyed a lot. But the second one is forgettable bland story with no mystery.
Re: PS4 Exclusive Days Gone Seemingly Delayed into 2019
I think Tlou 2 might launch with PS5 at the end of 2019.

Re: Detroit: Become Human Makes Difficult Decisions on 25th May
@Splat All my library in digital except one PES 2018. True for digital the cover is not important. Still I prefer Kara to appear on the homepage. lol.

Re: Deals: PS4 FIFA 18 Bundles Are Outrageously Cheap in the UK
Would someone suggest PS4 Pro if I don't own 4K TV? Game now offers good trade in deals for original PS4.
