It’s honestly wild for them to try to sell this, at this price. But, a company as big as Rockstar most likely has data supporting that some poor fools WILL fork over $50, which is even sadder.
Microsoft, overall, seems incapable of actually nurturing studios. The only thing they really have going for them is their massive, massive, bank account.
What a great month! I love it when they put up a game on PS+ that has a sequel incoming. That being said, I LOVED Alan Wake's story and environment, but really, really did not dig the combat. I'm hoping that's something they improved on for the sequel.
So, I tired replaying Witcher 3 with the PS5 patch, and I find myself genuinely disliking the combat now too much to continue. Anyone else in the same boat?
Witcher 3 was one of the first games I ever played when I got back into video games a few years ago, so while I think the story holds up, compared to other games, combat has just lost its appeal to me Haha
Also, one thing I can't get over about this game is the veteran writers that worked on this...and for the writing to still be just, so, so bad. It's bizarre.
I feel like companies avoid SkillUp when they fear a capital "r" Review. That dude is easily my favorite reviewer, even if I don't always agree with his takes.
I’m fine with that! I feel like I’m one of the few people who play games one at a time so I don’t really need a whole bunch of games downloaded at any given time Haha
Forespoken, Hogwarts Legacy, and Dead Space have soooo much potential to make January and February such banging months. Genuinely hope the best for all of them. Will gladly buy the 3 at full price if reviews are solid.
I have a sense that, perhaps, preorders are not hitting the numbers they anticipated so they’re really juicing the marketing machine.
I genuinely love Harry Potter, but I am absolutely not preordering a full priced game from a studio that isn’t really a known quantity. If the reviews are good, then I will absolutely be getting it.
I wanted to love Fallen Order so much, but just found myself desperately wishing most (all?) of the upgrades were cosmetic. It definitely took some of the enjoyment away for me.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 Update Clarified as CDPR Lists Patch vs. Phantom Liberty Changes
So, so stoked for this! Probably going to start a fresh play through once 2.0 drops.
Re: Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Could Be Close to 100GB in Size
Sounds good! Can not wait.
Re: Poll: Are You Sold on PlayStation Portal?
I just don’t see a market for this.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 Update Will Launch 'a Little Bit Before' Phantom Liberty, Says a Cheeky CDPR
Super, super stoked about 2.0. Might even start a brand new play through with it!
Re: Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon (PS5) - Great Mecha Action at Times Feels Stunted
Glad I did not buy this.
Re: Most PlayStation Fans Dead Against Buying Red Dead Redemption PS4 Port at Launch
I’m just…not a fan of lighting my money on fire lol
It’s such a joke. An absolutely stupid and disconnected decision on Rockstars end.
Re: Red Dead Redemption PS4 Announcement Gets Slaughtered by Fans
It’s honestly wild for them to try to sell this, at this price. But, a company as big as Rockstar most likely has data supporting that some poor fools WILL fork over $50, which is even sadder.
Re: Resident Evil 2 PS5, PS4 Remake Is Now the Series' Best-Selling Game
It was the first Resident Evil game I ever played! It’s sooo good.
Re: New Armored Core 6 Trailer Puts Plot Ahead of Bullets and Missiles
I do not care about mech stuff, but I love FromSoft games. So…I am torn.
Re: Gran Turismo Movie Had to Look and Feel Real, According to Director
Genuinely can’t believe such a bad idea was given the go ahead. Sony’s movie division sure makes some goooooofy choices.
Re: Microsoft Planned to Conquer Japan with Square Enix Buyout, Eye-Opening Documents Reveal
Microsoft, overall, seems incapable of actually nurturing studios. The only thing they really have going for them is their massive, massive, bank account.
Re: New Korean Rating for Red Dead Redemption Has Fans Hoping for a Remaster
Echoing most of the other comments - would love a RDR2 PS5 port, but would also be stoked to play the first, as I've not played it before.
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for July 2023 Leaked Early
What a great month! I love it when they put up a game on PS+ that has a sequel incoming. That being said, I LOVED Alan Wake's story and environment, but really, really did not dig the combat. I'm hoping that's something they improved on for the sequel.
Re: Rumour: Bungie Wants Marathon on PS5 to Be the Ultimate Live Service Game
Ugh. I just want a dope alien shooter like the originals.
Re: No Plans for a Marvel's Spider-Man 2 PS5 Demo, Says Insomniac
No demo needed to be sold on this lol
Re: Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Finally Has a Release Date on PS5
Day before my birthday 🥰
Re: What the Hell Is Going on with The Last of Us Factions, Naughty Dog's Standalone PS5 Multiplayer Game?
I still have hopes for a Last of Us 2 PS5 upgrade. 🙏🏻
Re: Bungie Is Bringing Back Marathon on PS5, PC
I kid you not, when this trailer started there was something about it that I thought “surely this can not be Marathon…”
Disappointed it’s not closer to the alien shooter from the old days, but I’m sure Bungie will make it fun still.
Re: Mortal Kombat 1 Announced for PS5, Out 19th September
Oh my goodness. Let’s gooooo!!!
Re: Soapbox: PS Plus Might Be Gaming's Best Subscription Service Now
It’s improved a lot, but GamePass is still the better overall value. If Xbox actually made AAA games that were bangers we’d be screwed Haha
Re: Suicide Squad PS5 Game Delay Now Official, Out in February 2024
What a mess lol
Re: Clouds Are One Reason Why Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores Is PS5 Only
Sounds good to me Haha So stoked to dive in.
Re: You Must Beat Horizon Forbidden West to Play PS5 DLC Burning Shores
I am so excited about this! I loved HFW. Can’t wait to dive back in.
Re: Horizon Forbidden West's Big PS5 Burning Shores Expansion Won't Break the Bank
Pre-ordered on the spot! So stoked.
Re: Talking Point: Is 2024 Too Soon for PS5 Pro?
I very much don't think there will be a PS5 Pro. There's not a strong enough value proposition. A PS5 Slim, for sure, but not a pro.
Re: Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores Is Out Soon on PS5, and We've Seen Next to Nothing
Dude! I’ve been thinking the same thing. Not even a pre-order is up yet on PSN.
Re: Hitman Dev Confirms Online Fantasy RPG, But No Mention of PS5
Fantasy RPG = yaaaay
Online = nooooo
Re: Round Up: What Was Announced During Sony's State of Play Livestream for February 2023?
All in all, great show, but boy oh boy do I feel bad for the Rocksteady team.
Re: Rumour: Marvel's Wolverine on PS5 Targeting Mature Rating in Fall 2024
I am 100% fine with less open world games, and more 20 - 30 hour structured ones.
Re: The Witcher 3 PS5 Patch 4.01 Improves Performance, Stops Setting Reset Bug
@Feena YES! It does look so so good.
Re: The Witcher 3 PS5 Patch 4.01 Improves Performance, Stops Setting Reset Bug

Re: PS5 Shipments Eclipse 32.1 Million Units, with Huge Year Ahead
I still can't believe I got one as quick as I did! So stoked for other people to get their hands on this goodness.
Re: Hnngh! Hogwarts Legacy PS5, PS4 Launch Trailer Teases a Truly Magical Adventure
Any word on embargo date?
Re: Poll: Did You Buy the Dead Space PS5 Remake?
$90 CAD for a 12 hour game is a bit too rich for my blood. Remake or new game or what.
Re: Poll: Did You Buy Forspoken?
Once it comes to PS+ I'll gladly play it, but I'm absolutely not paying money for that game haha
Re: Forspoken Is Leaking All Over the Place Ahead of Next Week's Release
Also, one thing I can't get over about this game is the veteran writers that worked on this...and for the writing to still be just, so, so bad. It's bizarre.

I feel like companies avoid SkillUp when they fear a capital "r" Review. That dude is easily my favorite reviewer, even if I don't always agree with his takes.
Re: Suicide Squad Leak Reveals Live Service Elements Like a Battle Pass, More
Oh noooo…such a bummer.
Re: Forspoken Will Take Up a Hefty Chunk of Your PS5 Storage Space
@Splat Same haha But here’s to hoping it’s awesome!
Re: Forspoken Will Take Up a Hefty Chunk of Your PS5 Storage Space
I’m fine with that! I feel like I’m one of the few people who play games one at a time so I don’t really need a whole bunch of games downloaded at any given time Haha
Re: Dead Space PS5 Launch Trailer Marks the Return of Isaac Clarke
Anyone know the review embargo date?
Re: Upcoming PS5, PS4 Games for January and February 2023
Forespoken, Hogwarts Legacy, and Dead Space have soooo much potential to make January and February such banging months. Genuinely hope the best for all of them. Will gladly buy the 3 at full price if reviews are solid.
Re: Final Fantasy VII Rebirth PS5 Update Coming 'When the Time Is Right'
FF7 Remake was the first FF game I’ve ever played and I am soooo ready for Rebirth!!!!
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give The Witcher 3 PS5 Version?
The world and story holds up, but that combat…man oh man. No longer a fan.
Re: Open the Book on More Hogwarts Legacy PS5, PS4 Gameplay This Week
I have a sense that, perhaps, preorders are not hitting the numbers they anticipated so they’re really juicing the marketing machine.
I genuinely love Harry Potter, but I am absolutely not preordering a full priced game from a studio that isn’t really a known quantity. If the reviews are good, then I will absolutely be getting it.
Re: The Last of Us: Part I on PC Costs $20 Less Than PS5 Version
Ouch…but I never bought the original, so I didn’t so much mind paying for this one.
Re: Forspoken PS5 Demo Appears Ready for Release
Played the demo for 30 minutes before work! I found the combat to be really fantastic, but that dialogue is really, really awful.
Re: Suicide Squad Dated for 26th May on PS5
Wow, now THAT’S a delay. Here’s to hoping it’s worth it…
Re: Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Confirmed for March 2023 in Gameplay Reveal
I wanted to love Fallen Order so much, but just found myself desperately wishing most (all?) of the upgrades were cosmetic. It definitely took some of the enjoyment away for me.
Re: Earn 100 PS Stars Points Just for Playing PS Plus Games
Still on the waitlist lol
