Right like pick a lane. They want to pretend they were out in the street begging for change, but ride to their mansion on a lambo. "Rising costs my ass"
So is this comparing the loading times of PS4 version on PS5 or just the enhanced PS5 version? Im just wondering since I was assuming they used PS4 for PS4 version in comparison
Still no Single player DLC since, lol.
Also funny how GTA6 will prob be $70+ even tho they made a killing at $60
Less about price more about principle. I even found $60 expensive I understand they need their cut, but If prices go up it should be justifiable, so far the only excuse Sony has given is "rising costs", but it dosen't take into account what Sony and the industry has already done to get over $60 price point like tiered editions, and more Microtransactions. They can say it's just for their first party titles but the rest of industry is following suit. I don't want to suppo...
Opposite for me, though Im usually slow to buy. I pre ordered PS4 from Sony, bought Killzone Shadowfall then BF4 a couple months later. I picked up my PS5 in-store on launch and haven't bought any launch game since, mainly because I had too many backlog titles to go through that I didn't have time for earlier with my new job. Another reason is this new price point, Its kind of a turn off its getting ridiculous how over monetized games are now that they want to pretend they weren'...
Not gonna Lie #2 got thicc thighs lol
FYI CDKeys is $32 per year atm, $64 for 2year
Better off putting money in these companies since people arent gonna learn may as well profit.
The thought of normalizing this new price-point held me off from buying.
studios have had enough revenue streams and shortcuts to make up for any discrepancy in inflation, rising development, etc.
Tiered editions ( which are now going to go up $10 each tier or more)
Microtransactions
Rushing to release half-assed and patching along the way
Brand deals through foods, drinks etc
Are those magically going away an...
5/10 is literally average......
Im actually having a blast finishing my PS4 backlog I didn't have time for before. RDR2 is great! I might even buy some of titles I missed out on for PS4 until PS5 game prices come down to reality.
I have the money im just not dense enough to fall for the excuse that the industry NEEDS $70. They make up any difference in "inflation" or "rising development costs" through tiered editions, and microtransactions, even $60 was profitable look at GTA 5 sales. Besides whens the last time you HAVEN't heard of a major studio flop because they undercook their game(Destiny,Fallout,Cyberpunk ,No Man's, etc.). We aren't even paying for quality on release, we are just ...
The industry has BEEN over inflation by this point. Its called tiered editions. Which thanks to clueless consumers is now $10 extra on top of each tier or more...And a little thing called microtransactions.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Industry:But guys! They need the revenue! Cost of development, inflation, etc!
*Looks at GTA5*
$800M day one sales @$60 just for the story not factoring in Microtransactions
11M copies in 24hr certified by guiness records
Budget $264M
140M copies sold to date
8 years since release no single player dlc.
*Looks at Activision/Ubisoft*

This was one of games I was waiting for, but I cant justify normalizing this new price point. I can understand for a small studio who will give free updates over the life of the game, even if the price never drops. But, this is a cash grab for most studios. I remember rockstar making $800m on day one sales from GTA 5 out of a $264m budget. At $60. As a single player game without even factoring out time since or MT. 8 years later They STILL haven't released a DLC expansion for the single p...
Yo.. we're was this when I ordered direct from sony for ps4 launch?
For U. S.
They could've done curbside or reservations to pick up in store and limit how many ppl come in at a time like this Japan too and been safe for covid. Online to home makes it easier for bots.
No Dolby Vision/ Atmos support for ultra hd discs is pretty dumb considering they are trying to rebrand @ full price several SONY ultra hd movies dubbed "essentials" that had pretty good Atmos tracks and even Dolby vision like Venom.
When are we getting a new resistance for PS5??
