      This game looks great, but $100 is far from a bargain for it. Just Sony taking on a bit of a Nintendo attitude towards their first party games this generation with insane pricing that never seems to drop much.

      • AngusD on 21/05/2024 - 08:32

        Yeah, it's really disappointing how Sony are running this generation. We're what… nearly 4 years in now? By now they would usually have their "PlayStation Hits" or "Platinum" or whatever they call it (it seems to change every generation or two) where you can pick up the older games for $20-30, and then they'd end up on sale at JB or wherever for less than $10 occasionally. I bought the Uncharted trilogy remaster collection on PS4 for like $9, I think.

        Even now, the PS5 launch titles are still basically full price unless they're having a sale which is never more than 50% off. This is probably a glimpse of the future now that XBox has the stench of death about it. Sony don't really have a lot of competition now, they and Nintendo have neatly divided the market up between the two of them and we're all going to be worse off as a result.

      I mean, there's a big difference between owning a physical copy and paying for a monthly subscription service.

      Like ok your end experience is the same, but by that logic someone could come along as say "man, as someone who gets games for free off the internet I can't believe people pay for game pass"

      • khamzatchimaev on 20/05/2024 - 19:36

        Game pass is wise choice. I’m done with most of the games I own. I will not touch them anymore. And I didn’t even complete most of them.

            @His_Holiness: Xbox is gambling on a long term strategy.

            Is it the correct one? I don't know, I'm not smart enough to definitively say either way but you can see the reasoning behind it.

            Games are costing more and more, Last of Us 2 cost $220 million dollars to make, Horizon Forbidden West cost $200+ million to make and both those games were in development for 5 years before they were able sell a product. Did they make a profit? Yeah they did but I would say they are the exception. There are so many other games where money is sunk into the project, only for it to be a flop (Suicide Squad) or to be cancelled (Deus Ex, Twisted Metal, Overwatch 2 PVE content). Even for cancelled titles, costs would still be in the millions of dollars spent with nothing to show for it.

            Xbox is gambling on building a service where they pay publishers a fee to put their games on their service for a period of time in the hopes that people join up to play that title and either enjoy the service and keep the subscription going or forget to unsubscribe once they're done with that game. I know of plenty of people who pay for GamePass even though they prioritise their Playstation, Switch or PC for games, yet still pay the monthly subscription to GamePass.

            In the end of the day, it's Xbox executives gambling on a strategy.

            • Smigit on 20/05/2024 - 22:22

              @stenchlord: Games are expensive to make, but Call of Duty and other AAA will be expensive with or without GamePass. If anything it’ll result in the price of GamePass going up as it’s not a model that is contributing to the shrinking of development costs. Not sure how much higher it can go before people really turn away.

              The problem for MS is their console is lagging so far behind Sony, with some recent data suggesting they are being outsold 5:1, that GamePass subscriptions are rapidly stagnating. They need to find a way to get GamePass onto PlayStation I’d say, otherwise they’re stuck in a nasty position where they’ve banked on a subscription service that primarily has a console audience, but that audience isn’t growing fast enough.

              The fact they’re shipping games on PlayStation is probably very much a response to stagnation of GamePass and Xbox as a whole and them needing customers from elsewhere. It’s a move I think further reduces the need for people to buy an Xbox, which then hurts GamePass more.

              Don’t see this all working out well for MS to be honest.

              • stenchlord on 20/05/2024 - 22:51

                @Smigit: Development costs will always continue to rise as cost of living rises and employees need to be paid more, that's not going to change and Xbox know it won't. Acquiring studios and publishing companies like Activision are short term plans to bring more customers into the service.

                Xbox have ultimately decided the cost of acquiring Activision Blizzard was worth the cost because:

                1: The games they have control over bring in a lot of money.
                2: They have far wider mass market appeal.

                They aren't trying to please core gamers (as much as they keep saying they are), they want more casual gamers. They want your average joe who just jumps on his phone and plays Candy Crush, Clash of Clans or Warzone and play on their commutes to and from work, those who don't mind spending $1-$2 each time they jump on to play cause that cost is seemingly inconsequential to them.

                Xbox is definitely lagging behind Playstation in hardware sales and Playstation made $30 billion in 2023 BUT Xbox still made $18 billion in 2023 and they did this despite their hardware being outsold 5:1 as you claim.

                If I had to guess, their long term goals are to just build out their cloud service and sell to EVERYONE, regardless of the platform they are on. This way they don't need to spend millions in R&D to make consoles, they can essentially outsource building streaming handhelds to companies like Logitech or Razer. It will mean not needing to pay to develop games (although I'm sure they'll still do it but maybe not in the realms of spending hundreds of millions on a single title), instead paying fees to license titles on their service and just building apps to work on other devices.

                Considering the EU has been pushing companies like Apple to allow for third party installations, it wouldn't surprise me if the same happened to the gaming console market.

                I don't know if it's going to work and even if it does, whether or not it'll be good for gamers (or at least the traditional type of gamer that I'd associate myself with being) or for games preservation (hard to preserve games that are only available in the cloud or are live service titles) but I can kinda see what they're going for.

                20 years ago if you'd told people they'd be paying $26/month to watch movies and TV series but they don't get to choose what's available, that any of that content could disappear from the service (even if they were in the middle of watching a TV series) and that they wouldn't own anything no matter how much or how long they paid for the service, people would have told you that you were nuts.

                EDIT: In regards to the cost of GamePass, they'll keep pushing it until customers push back. How much are people willing to pay for Netflix? The price still keeps going up despite less and less subscribers paying for the service.

          • Valowick on 31/05/2024 - 13:54

            @His_Holiness: Gamepass is literally destroying Xbox, as intended. Gamepass is an initiative competing against the traditional model that is Xbox/Sony/Nintendo. It's designed to infect traditional customers and transition them into "mobile customers." One who turn their nose up at properly priced games exclusively in favour of free 2 play, ad ridden, low complexity and IQ cancer.

            The whole goal being that you get to fully kill the 2nd hand market and property rights. Kill off properly segmented generations, so new generations don't have to compete with the old established ones (no value proposition necessary; planned obsolesce optimised). Most importantly take away the customers right to decide which studio/publisher they want to support directly (so long Tango).

            Gamepass/Netflix/Spotify are, respectfully, the most disgusting tumors on the media landscape.

          Different value propositions. I've got Game Pass on Xbox and a PS5 and use the PS5 a lot more - my play time is more of a limit than budget so I'd rather pay to play something I really want to play than pick something that sounds alright.

Jedi survivor, remnant 2, diablo 4, dead space, persona 3 reload etc you can’t get them at $2

              eBay has bundles of games, just search "Xbox one bundle".

              I got games like far cry, Forza, COD, dying light, VERY cheap.

              The crackdown games are actually free on the Xbox online store (no need to pay a subscription or anything)

    I managed to play this for a good chunk of time yesterday….

    I feel this game is currently being lauded as a hit out of desperation - sadly because of the circumstances surrounding the current PS5 gaming landscape (or lack of) ….

    If the PS5 was not suffering from an embarrassing anemia in its exclusive gaming lineup or release schedule - this game would be at best seen as a great second or third tier game….(for instance: remove the titles obvious hyper-over sexualised females drama theme and you’re left with an average good gaming experience - similar to an average PS2 or PS3 title)

    Whilst it is still good game, mind, it sadly does not even come close to the heavy-mega hitting titles that came out on PS4, PS3 or PS2 at a similar time period as the PS5 is at in its life right now. (The PS5 is almost 4 years old at the moment, and it’s 1st parties or exclusives are severely still lacking/ absent/ not released in good frequency - or in vast variety or/ and at high quality fun production fitting of its ‘next gen’ status….GT6 seems like it will be one of few titles that will be deserving of that status in my opinion.)

      Not sure why this is being negged, just finished it, it's an average game at best, don't care for either side of the sexualised debate, doesn't bother or excite me. Played lies of P through 3 times, last solo game I played, no desire to play this game again now it's finished.

        Lies of p was amazing. I played it once but God that was a stressful and fun journey. Beating puppet master was probably the most rewarding fight in video game history
