@vapidwolf1 I don't buy games from the PS Store as I mainly buy physical copies. Maybe it's different in other countries, but where I live, new PS5 games cost 70-80€ depending on the publisher and that second price hike to 80€ was initiated by Sony.
Them releasing a great console and accessories doesn't automatically give 'em a pass on every other ***** decision they come up with in the future.
It's not even a matter of affordability, it's simply the matter of getting your money's worth and some of us feel like we're not getting that from Sony at the moment, which is why we're voicing our displeasure.
@vapidwolf1 Nickel and diming us for every "next-gen" release, increasing the price of games even further in the EU, subpar games on PS+ and of course the thing that's discussed in this very article.
Only thing that to this day keeps me from buying PSVR is the camera adapter, because it would most likely take a couple of weeks for it to be shipped to me.
Not really keen on spending 300€+ on something I can't use immediately after the purchase due to being a PS5 owner.
I'll just wait on PSVR2 and hope that it'll be compatible with the old games.
I'll definitely go back and finish this DLC as I enjoyed the base game, flawed that it is. Hopefully the DLC is worth the extra cash we had to fork out for Deluxe Edition.
As amazing as it looks, it runs rather poorly for something that's meant to showcase how amazing both the PS5 and UE5 are. Not to mention that the open world portion is kind of pointless as there's nothing to experience, other than the poor driving mechanics.
I was really excited to check out Godfall as I was on the fence about buying it since release. However, I don't think I'll check the Challenger Edition as I like to start my games at the beginning not the end.
Not a fan of hard as balls games so Mortal Shell is a no go and I already own the Lego game. Not a month for me.
So there's legitimately no point of playing the PS+ version as you don't know any of the context for all the fighting nor any reason for progression other than the game telling you there's better loot to find...
It'll be successful, because it's Dragon Ball. However, I think it'll die few months in as it doesn't have as broad of an appeal as Dead by Daylight does.
I'll keep watch to see if difficulty options are added as much as I like the premise of the game and its mechanics, I don't really want to potentially spend hours being stuck on one part of the game or even end up not being able to finish it.
"Git gud" ain't a mentality I subscribe to in single player games.
Trailers tend to be amazing, but the games themselves have been lackluster for a while now. I doubt it, but hopefully they learned something from the last two disasters.
Not a fan of dodgeball flashback to grade school and in general I'm not a fan of competitive MP games. Hopefully next month we get a non-MP title as the PS5 offering on PS+.
I'm kind of shocked to be honest. I haven't played as much of Valhalla as I did the other two recent entries to the series, but from what I played it feels like a step back from Odyssey for me.
I think they waited way too long for this port. The last time I heard anything about the game was when Epic copy/pasted it into Fortnite. Maybe this new release will cause a resurgence in its popularity.
While I think that the games should teach you fundamentals of their gameplay before dropping you into their world, I've never experienced a time where the game would become unplayable because it left out some important mechanic.
However, if your first instinct when you start the game is to stare at the screen and wait for instructions on how to do a simple task such as moving (or even accelerating) without being proactive and pressing/moving some stuff on the controller...Try investing in some common sense.
With how much they touted the fact that you can pin things to the side to read while playing the game, I'd like to see an expansion of the functionality to allow any secondary app to be pinned to the side, not just the currently nonexistent browser.
PiP mode would be dope too, but probably a bit too much to expect from Sony.
I played Judgement and really disliked the combat so I stopped playing after the first boss. Assuming that Lost Judgement is more of the same, I have zero interest in it.

Re: The Quarry's Launch Trailer Promises a Gory Good Time
@Uromastryx Thanks for pointing it out! I must've missed that when I first read the FAQ.
Re: The Quarry's Launch Trailer Promises a Gory Good Time
Looking forward to playing this soon-ish. Only thing that really bothers me is the lack of an upgrade option.
Re: PS Plus Premium Comparison Video Shows Off All the New Features
This video has sold me on the higher tier packages, provided that they include at least a couple of retro games that I've been dying to go back to.
Re: Poll: What Do You Expect from Retro PlayStation Games on PS5, PS4?
I have a feeling that the most we'll get is save states with an empty promise that more features will be coming at a later date.
Re: Chrono Cross Remaster Doesn't Have the Original Soundtrack After All
Loved the game as a kid and I would've loved to revisit it, but sadly it seems like it'll be a cash grab with zero thought and care put into it.
Re: Poll: Will You Subscribe to Sony's New PS Plus Tiers?
Staying with essential until the other two offerings come to my country, if ever considering we never got PS Now.
Re: Rumour: PS Plus PS5, PS4 Games for April 2022 Leaked Early
Another mediocre month. I'll check out Spongebob as I like platformers, but the other two don't really tickle my fancy.
Re: Rumour: PS Plus PS5, PS4 Games for March 2022 Potentially Leaked
As always, not a fan that PS5 is getting so many MP-only offerings - really hope it ends up being a bonus game, though I somewhat doubt it.
Re: Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition Remaster Is Real, Adventures to PS4 in April
I can understand why cutscenes would remain in 4:3, but there's no valid reason not to have the gameplay be in 16:9.

Re: Sony's PS Plus, PS Now Cross-Gen Bullsh*t Continues
Some of the recent decisions by Sony are making me consider switching to Xbox, despite it not being supported in my region.
Re: Kao the Kangaroo Is Bouncing Back in PS5, PS4 Reboot
First time hearing about Kao, but it looks a lot like Crash and hopefully plays like it as well.
Re: PS Plus February 2022 PS5, PS4 Games Announced
Mediocre month. At least PS5 players get a break from MP-only garbage they tend to shove onto us.
Re: Test Your PlayStation General Knowledge - Issue 1
8/15 which I think is fine for someone who never paid too much attention to consoles until now that gaming PC's are pretty much unaffordable for me xD
Re: PSVR2 Is Coming, But Here's a Reminder That PSVR Is Still Alive and Kicking
@Mexigamer Shipping will still take a while, but I can at least order this without owning a PSVR beforehand. Thanks for the heads up!

Re: Harry Potter Game Hogwarts Legacy Allegedly in Trouble on PS5, PS4
I have a bad feeling about this. I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up being cancelled or in development hell for years on end.
Re: Talking Point: What Do You Realistically Expect from PS5, PS4's Game Pass Inspired PS Plus Reboot?
Just make the service available worldwide and it'll already be better than GamePass.
Re: New PS5 Controller Colours Available to Buy Now
Kind of wish that one of my controllers breaks so that I have an excuse to purchase one of these xD
Re: Things Are Beyond a Joke in Sherlock Holmes: Chapter One's New DLC
I'll definitely go back and finish this DLC as I enjoyed the base game, flawed that it is. Hopefully the DLC is worth the extra cash we had to fork out for Deluxe Edition.
Re: Hands On: The Matrix Awakens Is an Unreal Demonstration of PS5's Power
As amazing as it looks, it runs rather poorly for something that's meant to showcase how amazing both the PS5 and UE5 are. Not to mention that the open world portion is kind of pointless as there's nothing to experience, other than the poor driving mechanics.
Re: Scuf Reveals First Line of Third-Party PS5 Controllers, Prices Start at $200
As cool as they look, it's mental that they're charging that much for a single controller.
Re: Reaction: Merging PS Plus and PS Now Makes Sense, But an Xbox Game Pass Competitor Can't Be Half-Arsed
I'm definitely interested, but I somewhat doubt that the service will make it to my country considering that we don't have access to Playstation Now.
Re: Poll: Are You Happy With Your PS Plus Games for December 2021?
I was really excited to check out Godfall as I was on the fence about buying it since release. However, I don't think I'll check the Challenger Edition as I like to start my games at the beginning not the end.
Not a fan of hard as balls games so Mortal Shell is a no go and I already own the Lego game. Not a month for me.
Re: Sony Set to Combine PS Plus and PS Now to Create Xbox Game Pass Competitor on PS5, PS4
Can't wait for it to not be available in my region!
Re: Godfall's PS Plus Version Is All Endgame Content, No Story Campaign
So there's legitimately no point of playing the PS+ version as you don't know any of the context for all the fighting nor any reason for progression other than the game telling you there's better loot to find...
Re: Fanatec's Official Gran Turismo 7 Racing Wheel Revealed, Prices Start from $700
@Dan_ozzzy189 You can already buy gear shifters separately so I'm not sure where lies the confusion.
Re: Fanatec's Official Gran Turismo 7 Racing Wheel Revealed, Prices Start from $700
Asking for that kind of cash, yet still missing a third pedal and a gear shift. Whatever they're smoking, I want some.
Re: Dragon Ball: The Breakers Trailer Tells You Everything About This Weird Spinoff
It'll be successful, because it's Dragon Ball. However, I think it'll die few months in as it doesn't have as broad of an appeal as Dead by Daylight does.
Re: Challenging PS5, PS4 Brawler Sifu Won't Have Difficulty Options at Launch
I'll keep watch to see if difficulty options are added as much as I like the premise of the game and its mechanics, I don't really want to potentially spend hours being stuck on one part of the game or even end up not being able to finish it.
"Git gud" ain't a mentality I subscribe to in single player games.
Re: Rumour: PS Plus December 2021 PS5, PS4 Games Leaked Early
Seems like a good month if it's true. Will definitively give Godfall a proper try as I only tried it in a laggy state on my PC on release.
Re: Talking Point: Is Sony Being Stingy with PS5's First-Party Pricing?
@Jeanhenry THIS! It seems as if everyone has forgotten that PS4 brought its own price hike in Europe as a whole, so prices increased for us twice...
Re: WWE 2K22 Looks Like It Could Be a Smackdown on PS5, PS4
Trailers tend to be amazing, but the games themselves have been lackluster for a while now. I doubt it, but hopefully they learned something from the last two disasters.
Re: Poll: What Game Will Win at The Game Awards 2021?
Most likely Deathloop, because it's the only game I don't like on the list and those usually win
Re: The Most Ridiculous Dragon Ball Game Yet Has Just Been Announced for PS4
As awesome as it is to finally see Oolong getting some recognition, I don't think this will do well
Re: Remote Play on Android 12 Has Been Updated to Support DualSense PS5 Controllers
I'm still on Android 9 and I don't really wanna upgrade yet so I guess I ain't getting the feature
Re: Unsurprisingly, the GTA Trilogy Is Getting Review Bombed on PS5, PS4
I hate how every time a game gets obliterated in ratings is called review bombing, even when there are legitimate major issues with it.
Re: Spider-Man Finally Swings to Marvel's Avengers on 30th November
The movement system in the game is really clunky without any flow, so I'm wondering how they'll pull off the web swinging and his movement in general.
Re: Talking Point: Why Aren't You Playing Knockout City with PS Plus?
Not a fan of dodgeball flashback to grade school and in general I'm not a fan of competitive MP games. Hopefully next month we get a non-MP title as the PS5 offering on PS+.
Re: Assassin's Creed Valhalla Is Ubisoft's Second Most Profitable Game Ever
I'm kind of shocked to be honest. I haven't played as much of Valhalla as I did the other two recent entries to the series, but from what I played it feels like a step back from Odyssey for me.
Re: PS Plus November 2021 PS5, PS4 Games Announced
So it's basically a good month for anyone with VR, but ***** for anyone without. Can't please both camps, I guess...
Re: Talking Point: Did You Enjoy Sony's Latest State of Play Livestream?
Didn't expect much and it was still underwhelming.
Re: Rumour: PS Plus November 2021 PS5, PS4 Games Leaked Ahead of Reveal
So...Yesterday there was news how there's no leak and now there is one? Y'all are just taking a piss now.
Re: Among Us Finally Launches on PS5, PS4 This December
I think they waited way too long for this port. The last time I heard anything about the game was when Epic copy/pasted it into Fortnite. Maybe this new release will cause a resurgence in its popularity.
Re: Soapbox: Some Games Assume You Know How to Play Them, and It's Kinda Weird

Re: Feature: 12 PS5 Firmware Updates We Want to See
With how much they touted the fact that you can pin things to the side to read while playing the game, I'd like to see an expansion of the functionality to allow any secondary app to be pinned to the side, not just the currently nonexistent browser.
PiP mode would be dope too, but probably a bit too much to expect from Sony.
Re: Poll: Did You Buy Kena: Bridge of Spirits?
Waiting on the physical release.
Re: Poll: Did You Buy Lost Judgment?
@reek Thanks. All the laughs in various dubs are pretty good and/or entertaining.
Re: Poll: Did You Buy Lost Judgment?
I played Judgement and really disliked the combat so I stopped playing after the first boss. Assuming that Lost Judgement is more of the same, I have zero interest in it.
