oh, okay, so biased articles are still a thing in 2022...woke up too early from my grave it seems "You only jump and collect things and talk to robots..." ... hey, guess what...in Doom Eternal you "only shoot aliens in the head and jump and collect ammo". Is Stray perfect? Maybe not...nobody ever told it would be. With it's 29.99 release-day price tag does it rank among AAA next-gen titles? Not really, hence we should adjust our expectations here...
That's why I'll most likely never support either the Extra or Premium tier...just not really worth it. So many drawbacks. On top of that, I don't like the idea of paying extra for Sony to tell me when to play my monthly games before they get delisted from the service or before the streaming session gets aborted.
So far I'm enjoying it, I like Egyptian mythology. Not paying attention to trophies, as they're most probably tied to collecting every little thing there is, wondering how many will I have missed by the time I beat the game
@savarunl Exactly...but from the PS subscription perspective, I don't really need to pay for the top tier to play for fun. I can fire up my PS1 and have the same amount of fun. Get it?
I'm still missing any swan-song AAA exclusive title(s) for the PS4. You know...like we had for the PS1 back in the 2000-ish era ... Spyro 3 or GT2 for ex. Yes we had Ghost of Tsushima & TLOU 2 but ... eh ... still not quite there in my opinion. That cross-gen downgraded mumbo-jumbo doesn't really count. Before the PS4 retires (original or PRO) it should take one last hefty "breath of the wild" (LOL). An exclusive that would go down in history...that would be remembered with dignity. One last mega-title with which the devs would rush all-in...guns blazin'...utilising all the bells and whistles (60fps/HDR, motion sensors, gyro function, vibration, touchpad, camera/VR mode, Vita/mobile cross-functions, etc.). For that, even a 59.99 tag would be justified.
It may be remembered by gamers (or parents of gamers) aged 35+, not necessarilly meaning it would be enjoyed/bought by players aged 20+ #fortheclassesnotthemasses
Without monthly discounts and monthly games, there is no point in the lowest 9,99$ plan. Lots of people will be able to catch up on their backlogs without new monthly games. With games still having online trophies, this is becoming a pay-to-platinum business.
When will this sad era of incomplete games end? Companies now start to use "Patch notes" announcements as a form of advertising for their games lol ... It came out with lots of bugs but hey, buy it still, it's fixed now
yeah, all of them Devs claim they "want to get it right", yet tkey keep hurling patches post-release like all other AAA titles which claimed they will "get it right" (looking at you, Horizon FW)
23 years ago, in GT2 you could get those super-limited special cars by completing some exceptional challenges...but they were obtainable. These days it's all about eternal grind or spending money on top of the 99EUR price tag. What an era to be alive...

Re: Mortal Kombat's 30th Anniversary Bundle for PS5 Gets Over Here

If it comes to the Vita store, it'll be an insta-buy for me...even with my modded Vita
Re: Reaction: We Need to Talk About PS Plus Premium

BGE 2 would steal the show completely. I'm not loosing faith...

Re: Poll: Do PS Plus Premium's Classic Games Need Trophies for You to Play Them?
What is the purpose of playing them via the top tier if they had no added value over the OG releases?

Re: Video: Is It Time to Leave Last-Gen Behind?

Re: Gran Turismo 7's PS5, PS4 Platinum Will Be Time Consuming But Attainable
Having a digital copy, 2 accounts and 2 consoles might solve the online winning part, right? Like it does on NFS Underground...and Flatout for ex.
