@breakneck they're just estimates, though. They constantly adjust their numbers because they constantly extrapolate based on very limited sources.

@QBGaming12 I was just responding to the part that it's never received a discount. Apparently it has, though I'm also hoping for a bigger price cut. I like the anime and look forward to playing the game one day either on ps+ or when it's cheap enough

@QBGaming12 not according to psprices

@djlardI "isn't that sign people simply have enough of unfinished games on release???"

Not when most games have serious issues at launch yet so many sell incredibly well. Had there been enough interest in the IP, it would have sold well.

@thefourfoldroot1 I just hope they don't discourage (us) the few owners from buying new PSVR2 games. So far, I have bought all the ones that have been available on plus.

@gpimlott never said the opposite. Didn't even say that I, personally, consider it a good month As a matter of fact, my point was vastly different.

@Danbottomburp hahaha. Exactly!

@Danbottomburp more importantly, many of them fail to realize that their ideal or a merely good list would be considered "garbage" by someone else. You really can't please everyone, especially when you run a business and want to remain profitable.

@Darude84 and they're free to reply to your post. See how that works?

@Shinnok789 "And Sony apparently is not the same company we knew back then, it's current ruling body is too busy making blunder after blunder, and doesn't give a crap about what it's clients want"

Though I don't like the direction they've taken the last couple of years (i.e. no Concrete Genie type of games), they most certainly do. They just don't listen to enthusiasts, because hardly anyone was talking about Helldivers II and yet it proved to be one of the biggest success stories of the year. Almost no one talked about Sea of Thieves, yet it topped psn sales in Europe and the US.

There is clearly an appetite for online multiplayer games and GaS. That's what the average consumer wants. Not the games people rave about in forums.

So that's where the creator's of God of War (ps4) got their inspiration from for Mimir. Interesting!

It breaks my heart to see wonderful developers suffering like that, despite delivering great games. And I feel twice as guilty for not buying Armello when it was on sale.

@GymratAmarillo this 100%.

I keep saying it. Sony is a business. The vocal minority can cry about things all they want. If the sales are not strong enough, there won't be a sequel/remaster etc.

You have people buying games second hand, waiting to get them for free (i.e. at no additional cost) on ps plus, etc and yet they wonder why the games they like aren't being made.

@trev666 gotta love generalizations.

@Specky that's because we know that quality is subjective. I had the most fun with some games that are considered mediocre, but were awesome to play.

@Ergoshotz why so angry?

@Godot25 Yeah, not really. Starfield is still an exclusive and hardly anyone is asking for a ps5 port. When it's eventually released on ps5, it won't be the second coming of Jesus.

Hi-Fi Rush was released on ps5 and didn't make the top20.

Each case is different.

@Hi569 so, will you be paying 30 for kids games?

@Czar_Khastik "On the other hand, my backlog is so large that if the gaming industry stopped creating games today I would have enough things to play for the rest of my life".

Same here, man. I have hundreds of games that I'm genuinely interested in and, even though I know that there is no way I'll get the time to play them all, I still feel like supporting some new releases. But, like you, I wait for a sale, since I can't afford them day 1.

@RicketerCricketer haha. I know, right? As soon as I read someone's comment, I thought, "thanks for proving my point, I guess?"

@Czar_Khastik great plan (the second one). They will fail to sell well enough and then we'll get more of the same.

Plenty of great games failed, so I agree with you, Sammy.

Sackboy should have been a success
Ratchet & Clank should have sold a ton of copies
Tearaway should have won every award and sold millions of copies.

And the list goes on. At the end of the day, though, most people buy the same games. The loud minority likes to complain but they hardly ever put their money where their mouth is. There is no pleasing them. They'd lose their entire identity.

@Icey664 no need. Here's the post I was replying to:

"after all, it was the only source of good games announced this year for PS5"

@MaikonCSGarcia nah. Plenty of great games, like Astrobot, announced.

@UltimateOtaku91 brilliantly said!

@Gamer83 Realistically, what can Sony do at the moment, considering how long it takes to make a good game? I'm genuinely curious how you think competition works.

Sony is not sitting on their butt doing nothing. They're making excellent games that take time or they're cancelling games (like Factions 2) when they don't look promising. They can't rush things, if they want to keep releasing quality games.

Competition from MS and Nintendo doesn't magically change anything. Sure, they may be forced to show CGI trailers to appease fans, but it's not like their games are gonna come out sooner.

Unless I'm missing something (which is always a possibility).

@awp69 no it isn't awful at all. Never disagreed with any of that. I specifically replied to each individual point you made, if you read closely.

@awp69 you spoke of 18 first party games, so "whatever" indeed. Also, you may wanna keep in mind how few xb games have been released since the current generation started as opposed to ps games. Had Sony followed MS' failed strategy, they would have had more games to show at the moment.

@awp69 you mean they should buy a couple of publishers so that they can show off 18 first party games?

Are we throwing realism out of the window?

We want Sony to pay to show off third party games? Sure, sure. Sounds like money well spent.

It'd be amazing, but until we get official confirmation, I'm not getting my hopes up.

@LikelySatan If it really takes that long, I'm sure they will adjust it soon enough. Last time I played it, I unlocked several characters pretty quickly even though people online were complaining about it.

What isn't imminent these days?!

Game seems fantastic. Sadly, not my cup of tea.

@Zenos I know it's the internet, but you don't have to be that guy.

@LifeGirl Do we know if Japanese developers are fairly compensated? For example, things cost less in China to be made but that's because the people who make them don't earn much at all and are taken advantage of (or that used to be the case; I've heard that things are getting better)

@emj2010 this! A million times this!

Negativity online? No way!

@BrettAwesome yes, a lot of indies, but they're really awesome and perfect for PSVR2.

Red Matter 2 is excellent, according to many people who post here and always sings its praises

Arizona Sunshine II is supposed to be great

Tetris Effect Connected is surprisingly euphoric

and many more that I've already purchased (I've only been buying PSVR2 games for the last year), so I can't see their current price.

@get2sammyb but it's not indicative of the average gamer who enjoys games instead of constantly complaining online. Even Spider-man 2, the game that got the game of the year award here last year is constantly bashed for being from mediocre to terrible.

Let's be real for a second.

@SoulChimera entitlement. That's all there is to it. And the more they succeed with boycotts like they did with Helldivers II, the more entitled they get. Same with ps+

@The_Elder it's always the case when they talk about God Of War on PC from I've what I've seen.

@Savage_Joe do you have any sources that it's 60% of the market? If it's true, then it really is a big deal.

One of the few Marvel games I won't play. They could have done so much more, but alas. Hope it turns out good for those interested in it.

Yes, please! Can't wait to give it a try.

By far the best reveal we got yesterday, imo. It looks superb.

@DennisReynolds literally not a figure of speech. Also, nice assumption, but I haven't even played the game nor am I a huge fan of the franchise. But you know what they say that happens when you assume.

@DennisReynolds hate to be this way, but that's definitely not a "fact".

@Atreus97 my thoughts exactly. Same with Ragnarok and pretty much anything other than Stellar Blade or Helldivers 2 it seems.

@Frmknst it's not like it's gonna stop selling tomorrow. So, it's a great success considering how much it's sold so far.

@BrettAwesome have you checked out the sales on PS store? Plenty of discounts to be found.
