Astro Bot - Charming Propaganda

[BrawlMan]

@CriticalGaming, @hanselthecaretaker2, and @Old_Hunter_77, check out Monty's' newest video on Astro Bot. His wife played it, she has no attachment almost any of the characters that are PlayStation brand nor those that appeared/debuted on a PlayStation console and she loves the shit out of it.

That's cool.

I will confess I never click on any of the "I MADE my wife play..." videos. The phrasing of that title bothers me. I know it's a me thing, but there it is.

He more so does that to make his video's attract more attention, but she usually picks what interests her.

A reminder by Yahtzee of what Sony wants, a bland GaaS future that the audience will have no choice but to consume

They put a Puppeteer bot in the game. That made me happy. At least someone somewhere remembers that game exists.

Now, I mean if we could get for sale on the store, that would be great.

I imagine the game will be free on psplus in a few months.

In fairness, its already on the store, its just locked behind the mid tier PS+ paywall. And I don't pay for PS+ anymore as I don't use it.

It wouldn't hurt Sony to just put it up for sale on the store and charge maybe £10-£15 for it and see how it goes. I mean, Astro Bot itself has just proven that people want cute, fun platormers. It can't possibly be worse than the mountains of asset flip garbage that has infested the store.

This kinda shows how the subscription model is fucking with things on the consumer end. Idk how much the game is going for, or would be going for if it was for digital sale normally to own, but I’d rather that than it being gated behind a far higher recurring access fee that I have little time to make the most of anyways.

Why do you guys keep calling the price high. I pay 79 a year for it. All i need is the basic version for online play and it's like 7 bucks a month.

Sometimes you just want to buy a game by itself, and be able to use it whenever for whatever that cost was alone. I begrudgingly bought a year of basic after the price hike back in December and I can count on one hand the amount of times I’ve even turned my PS on since then, let alone played something. I have all these games I’ve downloaded or put in my library over the years and an ever dwindling time to play them, so for me the cost:use ratio is prohibitive.

As an aside, being able to use a USB for save backups and exporting images locally are other conveniences they’ve removed to *encourage* subscriptions, unless something’s changed in the last year idk.

Good for you, you can afford it, And that price is still too high even for the most basic tier.

Remember when PSN was actually free that you could go online, and there was only a small extra charge for PS+? Then Sony decided to charge $49.99 during part way through 8th generation. Then they upped it by 10 more bucks and promised they wouldn't do a price change. Even though they promised that previously. They lied to everyone both times and they lied again by upping the price even more. They do it because they know they can get away with it and because of Microsoft slacking behind and screwing up. Why bother for that? When I don't have to pay for an subscription fee when playing online on Steam. The free games and discounts aren't even worth it at this point. They have not been really since the price change. I just get the big discounts that come without subscribing to any of the PS+ models. The subscriptions is a waste of time and waste of actual harder earned money. Fuck Sony, and fuck Microsoft for starting this shit. Those that defends thud dumb shit need to really look in the mirror, and actually think. I'll hear no pathetic excuses nor pathetic defenses otherwise.
