With today's current exchange rate, in the United Kingdom it's an eye watering 1086 US dollars. 825 UK pounds total for a disc system with stand. You good folks in the USA have it easy for $800 compared to elsewhere around the world.
I am mitigating the overall cost by trading in my current PS5 console online for 275 plus 25 adding a voucher code. Trading in some games that have been gathering dust on my shelf for an additional 100. Lastly, in my case it is my birth...
I agree, although I might hold out for the PS6 Pro Remastered version. I should be getting my pension about then!
I will buy one.
I'll be honest, the price is a real kick in the b@lls for me but I will still do my best to secure a Pro on release day as I want the best possible clarity and fps. I have an Oled TV set up to showcase the titles.
I will mitigate the overall costs by trading in my original launch PS5 console. I can get £275 for it at present online. I have a stack of older PS4 titles gathering dust on my shelf that I can also sell online and add a...
So this is going to set me back 800 quid to play my disc titles!!!!! Bloody outrageous and at least 200 quid more than I thought it would be.
The only way whatsoever that I will be touching this, is if I can get at least 200 quid trading in my existing console.
Not happy about this in any way shape or form.
Edit - Just learning that it comes with a 2tb ssd. This mitigates my wallets pain a smidgeon.
I am showing my age, Heaven 17 were huge in the early 80s. Penthouse and Pavement was a classic album & 'temptation' was a big hit at the time reaching number two in the UK charts.
I absolutely agree, his use of profanity betrays his business acumen.
I'm returning my copy early as it's already bored me to tears & frustration playing this mediocre title.
Everything about it is half baked, from the bland story filled with banal characters, muddy vaseline smeared pop up graphics, awful and nonsensical mechanics, appalling AI, dreadful map navigation, garbage lightweight melee system and terrible combat.
My score is 5.5 out of 10 and that is being generous.
Inverno, you have absolutely hit the nail on the head. For me, Driveclub is my number one request for either a sequel or a polished upgrade.
The graphics, weapons, melee mechanics, characters & Victorian setting for this title, in my opinion certainly deserve a sequel.
However, in another areas the title suffered a shocking lack of polish with regards to it`s whack a mole clumsy and clunky shooter mechanics and stop start, cut scene, stop start gameplay.
With that said, I platinumed the game and thoroughly enjoyed it.
In the capable hands of either Naughty Dog, Santa Mo...
Approaching two years now & Sony have not shown me a single thing that tickles my fancy & would make me part with my money. Last nights State of Play was a mediocre disappointment for me, hopefully, a possible showcase will make amends.
I have it on good authority that Pips excuse for next week is, 'The dog ate my homework!'
While I fully appreciate the game is a stellar achievement, I didn't enjoy my time with it, due to the game on PS4 looking like it had been smeared in vaseline and the game mechanics were an absolute pain in the backside to get to grips with.
Trying to do a simple task that requires you to open not one but two weapons wheels when you are in a heated skirmish and wanting to use health was a fun sapping experience. Even the act of opening a drawer was a chore, sometimes ...
Your eloquence is far too kind Fox.
Congratulations Sony Bell end. I have absolutely zero interest in your live service sh*tty title. Days Gone 2 would have been a day one title.
You are spot on & have pretty much hit the nail on the head there.
I have watched the first two episodes of Shogun & you're absolutely right it is a tremendous series. Hopefully, your excitement for Ronin is rewarded with a great new title that you thoroughly enjoy.
I hate to be a party pooper, but in my opinion, the game play and storytelling that has been shown so far, has given me, for some peculiar reason absolutely no interest in this game whatsoever. I just can't quite put my finger on whether it's the art style or the slightly over the top fantasy infused gameplay that is putting me off.
Ghost of Tsushima was my favourite PS4 game along with Spider-Man, hence I find it rather puzzling why this title just isn't grabbi...
This is the first time in my living memory being a PlayStation gamer from the start, that they have nothing upcoming this year, or on the horizon that is of any interest to me.
Kojima's game looked of stellar quality, sadly though, his off the wall narratives are just not my cup of tea. These jumpy jumpy robot games with women with huge knockers prancing about with swords are just not my thing either.
Ultimately, I think the problem is mostly with me,...
This was organised criminal theft and an attempt to use blackmail & extortion to steal millions in cash. The despicable part is that the criminals even posted intimate knowledge of employees past and present details.
These are dangerous and ruthless, lowlife scumbags who deserve to feel the full weight of the law.
Read my post above Trini. Yes is the short answer. It's a bit of a fiddle to access and it does come with some limitations.
I would welcome an enhanced PS5 Pro Remaster if it had an abundance of quality of life improvements to the visuals and gameplay. My hope is that if this is true, we may get a sequel if it were to be financially successful.
