Not thrilled about the MTX, but the game looks good.

ZycoFox773d ago

What's baffling is that everyone copies Mario Kart, I think Crash Team Racing is probably the only exception as far as I know which has more to it at least for single player, like Diddy Kong Racing.

BrainSyphoned772d ago (Edited 772d ago )

So it's bad there are microtransactions but it is good that there will be microtransaction Crossover events?

AirRevenant772d ago

Yes, because MTXs are what Lego games needed.

Whenever people think Lego, they think - "this is too inexpensive, charge more."

JEECE772d ago (Edited 772d ago )

Hahaha.

Though I'm sure 2K is just looking at the revenue they get from NBA2K through micro transactions and thinking they can replicate that in another space. You have to remember that, while the N4G types who hate mtx represent the target audience for certain types of games, the types who buy NBA2K and FIFA or who play free to play games like Valorant or Fortnite at best don't care about games having mtx and are unaware they are controversial and at worst see micro transactions as one of the selling points of a game.

Sable was cool, gave me a bit of motion sickness though. Lego Drive and Power Wash are fun games.

LucasRuinedChildhood522d ago (Edited 522d ago )

I bought Sable a while back because it seems like a game I'd love and the art style is amazing but ... dear God ... https://youtu.be/mIJ7EjKhN-... The framerate is like a car that's conking out and about to die. It stutters all over the place, especially on the bike. It's not very playable.

You can get used to a low framerate but not this. It's like this on every platform and I don't think they ever fixed it.

darthv72522d ago

I liked the art style, but man did it mess with my head.

isarai522d ago

It was worth pushing through for me personally, it's probably the best example of a map that rewards exploration. But it is terrible especially when zooming through forests

purple101522d ago

that looks choppier than the Atlantic ocean on a and day,

hopefullY they fix that for the ps+ release cos' id like to check it out.

seanpitt23521d ago

What is this garbage? It's December! The month of giving! Lol

ooo powerwash

atleast a racer is included xD

Obscure_Observer522d ago

40% price increase for this. Sony should be ashamed. Smh.

JEECE522d ago

Sorry Spiderman 2 is selling well. I know you had low hopes for it.

How come I never see you in the bad news xbox articles. Or the system sales articles. 40 percent sure sounds like alot but if you actually say the dollars it's really not.

anast521d ago

Obscure understands. I would play back.

VersusDMC522d ago

Essential had a 60 to 80 increase which is around 34%. Nothing you say is ever factual.

And if it were 3 popular games released this year you would say everyone already has the games and still complain.

Espangerish521d ago

So rather than release recent popular games they should release old unpopular ones to reduce the chances of people already having them? Weird logic

rippermcrip522d ago (Edited 522d ago )

Microsoft tried to raise their price and everyone cried, so they took it back. Then they eventually removed GWG free games.

SMH

Einhander1972522d ago

What games are you getting this month with your basic subscription?

And of course it wasn't a 40% increase.

S2Killinit522d ago

Isnt gamepass now more expensive? With an inferior service might I add.

crazyCoconuts522d ago

Monthly core is the same price, but PS is still cheaper annually even after the price increase

Trash month for Sony. I expect better. They haven't had a month this bad in a while.

darthv72522d ago

I guess the lack of GwG competition is starting to set in...?

Crows90522d ago

Lol
You honestly think that? There was never competition between the two.

OtterX522d ago

Sorry they didn't cater specifically to your taste? Next time I hope they contact you first.

I'm really happy with Lego 2K Drive. I was about to buy it for my kids for Christmas, and I know I'll enjoy playing it just as much as they will. Being able to actually build our own vehicles sounds pretty cool, and much different from the other samey-Lego games. (It's ok to enjoy Legos as an adult, we won't tell your friends! ;) ) Power Wash Simulator is a surprisingly fun, relaxing game. I'm hearing good things about Sable, but I know little about it.

It's good to cater to different kinds of tastes.

TheEnigma313522d ago (Edited 522d ago )

I'm a paying customer, so I have the right to criticize my displeasure with this months releases. Sony has dropped the ball this month and hopefully they bounce back in January.

frostypants522d ago (Edited 522d ago )

"Sorry they didn't cater specifically to your taste?"

Why are you asking? Do you not know?

Seraphim521d ago

@TheEnigma313 - criticize a company because, even at the higher pricing, the monthly cost of PS+ is less than a cup of coffee? @ $80 annually that's $6.66/mo. Make no mistake, I dislike the price increase, but we're talking spending chump change each month while expecting gold in return. Furthermore, how many people here have $35-50 subs active? Meaning they've paid $2.91-$4.16/mo. It's just silly and beyond ridiculous that month after month people complain about free games that were an added bonus to PS+. What kind of value do you expect each month for the cost of less than a cup of coffee. Criticizing a company for unrealistic expectations is sophomoric at best, idiotic at worst.

OtterX521d ago

@TheEnigma313 Yea, my apologies for the passive-aggressive response yesterday, I could have toned that down a bit. You're right, you have the right to complain. Just seems there's always so much of that on N4G, no one is ever happy with anything.

I still disagree though, Lego 2k Drive is a big score, as it's only came out in May. That's amazing to get a 69.99 title for free, only half a year after launch for the monthly price of a coffee, like @Seraphim said. The PC community has been wild about Power Wash Simulator this last year too, with an Overwhelmingly Positive score on Steam. I know the concept sounds boring on paper, but nothing scores "Overwhelmingly Positive" on Steam without being truly great. Give it a shot.

We're going into December where lots of kids are going to be getting their consoles, so they offered some family friendly games.

Just because you personally don't like the games does not mean they are bad games.

TheEnigma313522d ago

To me as a paying customer, they are bad (to me).

CrimsonWing69522d ago (Edited 522d ago )

When can we complain about Sony offerings? Seriously, like I made a comment about the classic games not having been stellar and you went up my ass about that.

So, my question is when can we voice our opinions about not being thrilled about the PS+ offerings? I’m pretty sure “never” is your answer.

Einhander1972522d ago

CrimsonWing69

You guys don't appreciate what you have and you're going to make it worse for everyone. Microsoft charges $80 a year at it's cheapest rate and they get zero monthly games.

Sony is giving you at a minimum 60 dollars worth of games this month, for $6.65.

If you want a different game go on the PSBlog and tell them what types of games you want, don't just say oh PS Plus is shit blah blah blah just because this month they didn't give you that one game you want.

And I believe my point was in that conversation that no matter what they give you, you're going to complain, I 100% double down on that. I went through a list of games that people said they wanted which Sony put onto Premium yet people still complain even after getting what they asked for.

Seriously, you guys are kind of worse than Obscure and the other xbox fanboys they just throw stones at the wall, but you guys are tearing shit down from the inside. You're causing people to cancel which means Sony has less money and the service is only going to get cheaper and cheaper games.

If you want better games more people need to subscribe so Sony can pool our money and negotiate better deals, that's why all the xbox fans are in here talking crap they want you to unsubscribe so Sony will have less money to make games and put games on the service.

I'm very disappointed as well.

Coming up to Christmas, the month of December should be a blitz, but this is a deflated bean bag.

I've had PSN plus since the ps3 days, but I'm seriously considering letting my sub laps.
