More anti consumer practices. MS will never stop being MS it seems.

GREEDY

"PS Plus price in Turkey goes up nearly 500%, with double-digit increases in other regions."

ps plus is still cheaper even after the increase?

GamingSinceForever554d ago

Even with the 500% they are now paying $86 vs the $160 you’d pay in the U.S.

I guess they needed to correct that at some point.

@ Sammy; what lelo states comes directly from the article. Has nothing to do with being an xbox cultist.
Maybe try to actually read an article before you comment, how’s that?

@GamingSinceForever, using that theory, the new price of Game Pass Ultimate in Turkey is ₺209.00, or $7.36 USD. Less than half the price you'd pay in the US. So I guess this is just Microsoft correcting as well, right?

They're all doing it though. This isn't just a Microsoft thing.

attilayavuzer554d ago

I don't know how you price anything effectively in places where the currency is that volatile. Every year I visit my family in Turkey I'm getting twice the lira as the year before. Console wars aside, it's a total shitshow of an economy.

InUrFoxHole554d ago

Seriously. They're gonna either be over or under pricing.... tough to call on any given day

So where's Obscure_Observer's comment to violently defend this massively anti consumer move by MS?
I'm waiting, Obscure!

@vengeance:”So where's Obscure_Observer's comment”
He’s intensively observing the internet to find a post from Phil saying didn’t know and he’s investigating those claims.
Btw devaluation of currencies don’t usually hit 100% hike usually it’s a 10-25%

ocelot07554d ago

I'll take his place for this one.

Go team Xbox! In Phill I trust.

Unfortunately, he'll show up eventually and have his usual big brain take. It's exhausting.

Ah, he's probably busy worshipping Phil in the shrine he built for him in his basement.

It's wild that countries can just destroy the value of their currencies but when companies raise their prices to reflect that devaluation, it's the companies who are at fault, not the governments.

I know Gannondorf when I see him. Seriously though, wolf is a cool character. He’s not Akira Yuki, but he’s cool.

Dune Awakening: PAX East 2025 Video

Sacey at Skewed and Reviewed shared her booth video from the floor of PAX East for the new Dune Awakening game.

Garethvk12h ago

I agree. I have not played it yet, but looking back to City of Heroes and the like which look better.

Michiel19898h ago

...look up a screenshot of city of heroes and while you're at it look up a non phone recording of Dune Awakening.

Garethvk8h ago

Don't need to as I played it and the sequel and I have seen this one in trailers and at shows.

Eidolon1h ago

Can't even tell, I saw one glitch though. Menu/inventory reminds me of Destiny.

Why Dark Souls 2 Deserves a Second Chance in 2025

As difficult and frustrating as it is, people should consider reliving the Dark Souls 2 experience, especially because of what's coming to the game.

Many of those who hate Dark Souls II hate it because it's not Dark Souls. The same people love Dark Souls III because it isn't Dark Souls II.

And so many of the issues at the centre of common complaints about DS2 are present in DS3 and sometimes even DS1. The hatred and bile spewed over this perfectly decent game is ludicrous.

CrimsonWing6911h ago

I don’t think it’s a terrible game, but like a movie sequel by a different director, for me, it does NOT capture any of the “magic” felt from the Miyazaki entries. Boss battles don’t feel epic, environments don’t have the same sense of awe, the enemy variety isn’t particularly interesting, the art direction just feels bland, about the only thing I can give it praise for is some of the music.

Now, again, this is only how I feel about it, so I’m not trying to invalidate his you feel about the game, but it is the worst entry in the series due to those factors and it’s the least re-visited entry, for me.

Is it decent as a game on its own? Sure. But in comparison to the Miyazaki entries, it does not stack up and I believe that’s where many were disappointed with it.

PrimeVinister8h ago

Completely fair. I cannot disagree either, mate.

MrWood9h ago(Edited 9h ago)

You can also play it in VR flawlessly on PC & controller with the LukeRoss mod so… another reason to jump back in with extra immersion.

jznrpg9h ago

It’s not a bad game it’s just not as good as the others
