@wiiware yeah, dude. That must be it.

@Darude84 It doesn't make them excellent games, it makes them excellent additions to ps+

It's games that many of us considered playing, but weren't sure if we'd like them, as opposed to e.g. God of War that you know how good it's gonna be. People buy AAA games without much thought and when they're offered years later on ps+, they may be excellent games, but terrible additions, since most of the people interested in them, already have them.

@dskatter did you watch velma?

VELMA?

Great news. Looking forward to watching it. The internet can keep crying about it.

@Jorogumo couldn't be further from the truth. Sales clearly suggest otherwise. But facts don't matter, right?

@__Seraph you seem them everywhere online. If I had a penny for every "no one cares" comment I've seen online, I'd probably be able to afford a house.

Keep it up, Sony, and soon enough many of us will stop subscribing all together.

@Areus now, that makes sense!

Oh noes. Something that doesn't interest me but doesn't affect my life at all. How will I deal with such a problem?

@MrPeanutbutterz haha. Perfect!

Just signed up. It looks really good.

Hello, I'm the friend.

@Carck ah, yes. The value of cameltoe. Now that's a worthy cause.

The absolute second hand embarrassment of it all.

Kim is, like, my favourite Kardashian, so I know exactly how you feel.

Looking forward to finally give War of the Monsters a try

I get the ever so slight impression that people don't like Senua's Saga: Hellblade II? Could be wrong, though. If only they told us how they really feel.

@eltomo now that would be great. Though I think most people would prefer their phones. Even Just Dance switched to phones.

@czDante92 not quite. Kinect hurt xb1, but contributed considerably to xb360's success. It was so popular than I recall a kinect game beating Gran Turismo on launch week.

@ATaco yup. Fair enough.

@ATaco it's literally impossible to know if it's equal or not.

@ATaco it's hard to talk about consensus, when more often than not, people who scream the loudest online are the ones who didn't like something.

Platinum, platinum, platinum!

@AhmadSumadi yup

I don’t know, guys. I’m still not convinced Shadows sold well. I’m not seeing any numbers here /s

This just made it a little more embarrassing.

Seems like hardcore gamers bashing this movie weren't the target audience. Glad to see it doing well. I heard it made many kids happy.

Harpagun shall be mine! On rails shooters are perfect for PSVR2

"Nintendo is introducing a new model with the Switch 2 named Game Key Cards, which allows developers to offer a physical product, but it’s one you’ll need to download."

Doesn't affect me in any way (I hardly ever replay games I've already completed) but yikes!

@Reddecs that argument is beyond weak. People deal with their own circumstances. Should we compare poor people in the west and in Africa/India, etc? If that's the case no poor person in Europe or the States should ever complain because someone somewhere got it worse.

@Supern0va my thoughts exactly. Nintendo has no excuse to raise their prices so much. Their games cost a fraction of AAA games with realistic graphics, excellent voice acting, etc.

@ChrisDeku well said. Same with Death Note and the rest.

@rusty82 they're not really desperate for ideas, they're desperate for success. Plenty of movies with new ideas are released. Yet the movies that people give a chance to are either sequels or based on a well known ip (e.g. Barbie, Super Mario, Wicked, etc)

@LifeGirl one factor that this comment completely ignores is that a full priced game nowadays has way more content than a game did back in the day when there was no dlc. You don't need to buy the dlc. It's something extra that you may choose to get if you feel like it. But if it offers a complete experience on its own, then it's well worth the asking price.

Compare, for example, Super Mario Bros with Assassin's Creed: Valhalla. One is a full game without dlc, the other has dlc/expansions. Which offers more content?

@rusty82 so? Did wall-e speak? If you have imagination, you can come up with all sorts of awesome ideas.

Kim Kardashian, please!
/s

@SMJ yup. Also "meh" is the perfect way to describe it.

"PS3 to PS4 was pretty eye-opening as well"

Nah. The difference has been small ever since ps3. That was the last time the average gamer was wowed by graphics.

@AaronBayne yup, first thing that came to mind. That and CoD.

@HRdepartment not Nintendo first party games, though

@Ultimapunch it depends. Remember, people who complained about egg prices haven't complained about them since November, despite the prices increasing considerably. So, I'm sure at least some people won't have an issue with more expensive video games, because they don't mind it if it's from the person they voted for.

Rage over video games is always funny to me.

But, sure, since people who bought this game feel this way, it's a good thing the Taken team is doing something to fix the problem they caused.

Hilarious list is hilarious.

@cragis0001 oh, I see. Yeah, that makes sense.

Does anyone remember when Sony tried to charge 60 USD for psivta games? Consumers weren't having it, so they quickly lowered the price to be more aligned with what psv owners were willing to pay for a new game.

Something tells me people will be willing to pay any amount for first party Nintendo games like Mario, Zelda, and Pokemon, but not for third party games.

I don't care how much they cost. I'll always wait for a decent price cut, unless they're cheap to begin with (e.g. most PSVR2 games). Patience is a virtue that most people, unfortunately, lack.

I bought Hades (1), but haven't played it yet, so I really don't mind waiting.

@gaston good point. There are so many other factors to consider. For me it's also trophies and literally thousands of digital (and physical) games I own on ps consoles, but haven't played yet.

@PuppetMaster "Not to mention currently Japan economy is in bad shape. People will prioritize their money towards daily needs over video games."

The sales of Nintendo hardware and software suggest otherwise. Even when people are struggling, it seems they're still willing to buy certain things, like video games.
