Hmm, everyone shafted except the US. Feels very 90's.

PS5 price to increase in select markets due to global economic environment, including high inflation rates

New recommended retail price coming to select markets in the EMEA, APAC, and LATAM regions, plus Canada.

PlayStation. For the payers.

All the more reason to wait until they’re actually available, which would foreseeably not be any sooner than a price drop announcement.

So, joke’s on you this time, Sony!

I've already relegated the PS5 to "pick up on the cheap at the end of the gen", tho that didn't turn out great for PS4, so maybe it'll be "fuck it, skipping" again.

Yup, yup. Same. Unless I get some bundle with Horizon, a game I'm not interested in, and two extra dualsenses, which I don't need, for like €700 (~1000 AUD). Correction, that'd be €750 now.

Australia is still in the 'once every three months you've got 5 minutes to order' phase.

“Not every island is explorable”
“Characters won’t stay in one location, so you’ll have to explore the ocean to find them”

The contradiction within the same video. Wow


Why do I get the feeling this is gonna be one of those games where it gets hyped up by the influencers, but then get quickly forgotten?

Did someone hack you or did you just piss off FROM really badly?

Did someone hack you or did you just piss off FROM really badly?

Was co-oping with buddies, got frustrated with a certian boss, and used cheat engine to change my stats. It's so weird, because I messed around with the number of souls I had before, and no one cared. But adding a single point to dex? Perma-ban

Yeah, I deserved it and I do wish I haven't done it. But the silver lining is that I don't have to deal with cheaters joining my lobby (the irony, lol).

Before you say "but don't you get matched with other people who's been permabanned?", let me tell you that from my base game run that I did a few months back, I can certainly say you'll rarely encounter another player. As for the inability to do co-ops and therefore no awards from doing them... I come to realize I cared way too much than necessary

I fucking hope not.

 

[BrawlMan]

I fucking hope not.

It's EA, so I really don't give a damn. Not much value lost. I'll continue not buying their shit.

 

[Dalisclock]

I fucking hope not.

On one hand, Amazon has a lot of things to dislike about them and their attempts to make games hasn't gone well. On the other, Fuck EA. Just Fuck EA. EA has EA'd so many promising studios to death they can burn in whatever level of hell(It's Circle 4, BTW) is most suited for them.

 

[FakeSympathy]

I fucking hope not.

Watch as Amazon milk the fuck out of EA, and cast them aside. Let EA get a taste of their own medicine!

Oh, so much irony there that compasses are useless within 100 miles of it.
