Before gamers hear more about the future of The Witcher, Cyberpunk 2077 is the next franchise for CD Projekt RED to visit.
Square Enix president Takashi Kiryu discusses the dropping player count of Final Fantasy XIV and the numerous projects of YoshiP.
Also who wants to keep paying a monthly fee every month, there are other options like Guild Wars 2 😁with no monthly fee and while not that many people overall compared to FF XIV, it did increase to about 21 mil now.
Looks like Square Enix is self-aware but still stuck in place, they see the player drop and apologize for the bugs, but nothing really changes. Shame, FFXIV used to be the gold standard
My entire free company has stopped playing. The writing has consistently gotten worse and the content is sparse and lacking; unless you are a hardcore player there's very little for you to do. They are over-catering to the people who will grind three+ times a week on a single fight for multiple months when the playerbase by large doesn't want that sort of content. Square needs to dedicate more resources to the game instead of wasting them on mobile and other live service slop.
Game Rant interviews Dune: Awakening composer Knut Avenstroup Haugen about his process for giving the harsh deserts of Arrakis a musical voice.
Sony kicks off PS Plus' 15th anniversary by chatting with Game File about the past, present and future of its gaming subscription service: Talking price, catalogue tweaks and where the PS3 games are.
Glad, I’m about to downgrade when they raise the price. For me, I don’t really access much or care about the games they have in the library and if I do, it’d be cheaper to just buy them over time rather than stick to some expensive subscription model.
When you're new to the service you've got an avalanche of games to play. After you catch up, I agree, it's not worth it beyond the Essential tier for me.
That being said, the Essential tier is the best deal in console gaming imo, based on the monthly games you get to keep.
Yeah same will be downgrading $214 aud is insane and we don't even get the streaming capabilities in Australia which they said would make the top level subscription cheaper.
If i was to just buy the games I actually play that come to the service id be far better off.
Ill keep the essential tier to retain the games ive collected since the ps3 and for mp but I'm not convinced of the premium tiers value any more
Went back to essential a few months ago. I’m buying more physical and it has helped in finishing more games.
Extra is probably the best value for money right now, Premium doesn't have anything special enough to justify paying the additional imo.
*unless you have a Portal & you catch Premium on discount during Days of Play or Black Friday.
Yea, I really do wish they'd up their effort on Premium titles, but allowing a large catalog of titles that can stream to your Portal without even having to use your PS5 is pretty awesome. We travel about 2 hours to stay with my inlaws from time to time, so it's been pretty killer to only need to take my Portal for that!
Extra has been getting worse and worse each month. I've had it since it's launch and it's been great to play some games I may not have played but the selection has been declining rapidly for a while now. My sub runs out in August and I'll be going back to essential. They actually add games to that which are more appealing.
Nice choice. I agree!
Jeanne D'Arc was my favorite PS+ catalog title from last year & I Platinumed it!
cloud streaming to the portal, without using the ps5, is the selling point of premium to me.
Writing with the intention of 'finishing' a story that begins with Sapkowski's Witcher novels would have had it's advantages (pre-established lore, characters, storylines) but it would also of been quite limiting in-terms of introducing new ideas and characters... that said, CDPR have done an amazing job with the additions they made to the universe.
Still, it will be interesting to see what they do with their newfound creative 'freedom' - whilst Cyberpunk does have a ready-made history and lore, the story isn't as set-in-stone as the Witcher's... and they're already putting that extra money to work - hiring multiplayer-specific programmers, 'shooter devs' and what-not.
I'll buy anything they are selling. It's a shame this is geralts last run but the witcher universe still has a ton of potential.
I just hope CDPR read up on interaction design. I could not stick with Witcher 3 unfortunately and that was purely down to the terrible control system. Admittedly on PS4 and I guess the game's native platform is PC but OH MY GOD it really was the most annoying game to play. To the point that I'm baffled by how this got GOTY awards. I lost count on how many candles I extinguished instead of looting some container
I'm eager to play a CDPROJEKTRED game that is actually a good game
