Or, you know, buy a used physical copy for $10:

$20 for the “Complete Edition”.

prole,

Shhhh… Don’t let everyone else know how cheap you can get physical PS4/5 games for (not even just used, but new games on sale too)

I wouldn’t be surprised if the Complete Edition has gone for less than 20 at GameStop, Best Buy, or Amazon (or all three) on sale. There are ways to find the lowest price a game has ever been…

sunzu2,

When did people forget to shop around?

WldFyre,

Steam stans refuse to look outside the platform and aren’t always the brightest bunch

sunzu2,

Yeah got downvoted for telling people to buy off steam for steam codes.

I get it steam is fucking great but once Gabe dead it's a wrap, hedge today... Jfc

Zahille7, do gaming w Sony doubles the price of Horizon Zero Dawn just days after remaster reveal

So the first one was $25-30 on steam and they brought it back to $50?

I already got the game last year, so I’m not affected by this, but that is incredibly shitty.

conciselyverbose,

This is about consoles.

I don’t think it’s really that bad, because it enables them to sell the upgrade for $10 without just being a steep discount path for new purchases.

I’d much rather previous owners be able to upgrade for $10 than new buyers be able to get it for $20. Funding a remaster on new customers instead of double dipping is way more fair, and price conscious customers can still likely find used physical copies cheap.

celsiustimeline, do gaming w Horizon Zero Dawn Dev Addresses Criticism Over Aloy’s Remastered Look

Literally nobody was complaining about how Aloy looked in the remaster. 1 incel complained about her “beard” from the tech demos for the PS5 version of FW, but there’s been zero noise about how she looks in this re-release. People were complaining that it didn’t need a remaster, considering more people play PS4 than PS5 and the PS4 version still looks fantastic.

This is astroturfing by Sony/Guerilla.

DoucheBagMcSwag, do gaming w Horizon Zero Dawn Dev Addresses Criticism Over Aloy’s Remastered Look

How about address how the PS4 version doubled from $15 to $34 to fuck people over?

I actually have it on my wishlist. One of those games I wanted to play eventually. Had it on my wishlist now. Certain actions by companies make me lose interest.

There’s enough good games out there. Can skip some based on company actions just fine.

I got it for free in 2021 when they were doing the Play at Home initiative. Unfortunately, I’ve never liked it. I hate having to be sneaky and use ranged for combat. I just wanna run up and hit stuff with my stick.

Yeah… that’s why getting the driveless PS5 is a bad idea.

I’ll be not surprised. It’s Sony we are talking about.

Xbox does not have full screen ads.

chloyster, do gaming w PS5 Dashboards Flooded with Unwanted Ads—Sony Claims It Wasn't Intentional

Tbh I believe it was an error. Some of the stuff being shown was extremely old. Like “go see the new spider verse movie coming soon”

Doesn’t sound like a thing that is working correctly

Not intentional and an error for sure, but a planned “feature” for sure.

Ad-hell is definitely gonna get worse.

I mean, YouTube is working on the whole “Ads during paused videos” thing.

You can be damned sure the “console commanders” are like-minded in their plans for your home-entertainment devices.

FlashMobOfOne, do gaming w The Until Dawn Remake Is Having a Rough Time on PC
!deleted7243 avatar

In recent years I’ve had mixed performance from Supermassive titles. The Quarry didn’t run well. The Devil In Me ran very well. I haven’t played the new companion game they made to Dead by Daylight, but the demo ran perfectly.

We’ll see when it comes down in price.

@Nima@leminal.space avatar

i can’t wait to play. the combat looks fun af from the reviews ive seen. I’m interested in that bigass talent tree.

super excited!

Is BioWare’s Back in a Big Way?

No, they’re not.

EDIT Prediction of Veilguard’s & Bioware’s future

  • High Early sales due to the name.
  • Massive drop off in sales shortly after release due to word of mouth about game being shit.
  • The game will sell well enough for Bioware, Reddit, Twitter, and ResetERA to say that the negative buzz around the game was just from incel chuds, but not well enough to be a massive success.
  • There will be very little DLC for the game, probably just cosmetic microtransactions and a small quest chain due to lack of sales.
  • Bioware once again limps away just barely escaping death due to mediocracy and a slow release month.

Can someone give me a rundown on why there‘s so much negativity revolving around this? I saw the review thread and it seemed to have scored quite a few good reviews. I‘m not informed regarding the matter at all, the last Bioware game I‘ve played was Dragon Age 2, so I‘m genuinely clueless.

They changed a few key components about what some people were looking for in a Dragon Age game, which Dragon Age 2 did as well.

First five minutes of SkillUp’s review is a good rundown. It seems like a mindless action clickathon with imitation of gameplay seen in better games, a safe sterile story and a large chunk of world design repurposed leftovers from someone’s abandoned Overwatch-but-DA ambitions.

edit: also, I note how reviews that peg this as a “return to form” are written and SkillUp’s has video to back his opinions and it looks pretty damning.

Defaced,

Yet mortismal gaming says it’s his persona goty

I don’t really know what to say about it at this point, but as I loved inquisition I’ll probably love this one. The best thing to do is wait for release and make your own opinion.

@zecg@lemmy.world avatar

Never seen mortismal and I’ve only seen SkillUp a few times. I don’t really follow or need any review at release time, I’m not touching any game that’s 50€ or more until two years have passed and it’s in the vicinity of 75% off.

TwoBeeSan,

Yeah I love his reviews and opinion typically. Got me into wotr
