CamelCamelCamel.
Press F for all the PS5 Digital Edition owner's.
Potentially the strongest example of a false economy ever
This should be RRP…
I'd argue it should be a little lower than this price but what you gonna do
Remember when launch price for AAA was $89.99?
Remember when N64 games were about 110 new?
That would be from an American Toys R Us catalogue.
@Benbenbenben: It was an Australian publication that published the reprint. It's hard to say - do you have any evidence?
@Budju: I don't know the publication in question but anyone can make mistakes.
60 price point for games is common RRP to America, they've also got the tentative rating from ESRB on the box which is the American OFLC.
Further to that a quick google shows American retail for the console was 199.
You could reason that maybe this was from late in life N64 catalogue in Australia hence the discounted pricing, but were that the case you would probably be trying to advertise more than a single game, and spruiking how much the price has been cut.
I'd hazard that scan is from a TRU catalogue close to launch in America given the prices of the games and console advertised.
Edit, you can see the cut off release date at the bottom left. N64 came out 1997 here, you can see it's a 96 even though it's cut off.
I remember launch price for AAA being $69 and sometimes $79 as long ago as last year.
Fantastic game, if you have a PS5 this is an absolute must have.
Unforgivably difficult but incredibly rewarding.
I loved bloodborne, ds123, sekiro and nioh1/2 so this is really up my alley :)
Instantly bought it!
Grabbed the ps5 not long ago too off ozb restock post and finally unpacked it last night after selling my ps4 pro!
Happy days!
This was a lot easier than Bloodborne / Sekiro DS3. I felt the bosses weren't as challenging. But nonetheless, the mobs can be quite brutal and it is a must play if you have a PS5. The artwork is so beautiful, gorgeous game. The first title that really felt 'nextgen' to me.
I couldn't get into this game at all.
I'm struggling too. I think the intention is that you're supposed to spend VAST amounts of time learning the lore and patterns for yourself and then eventually everything makes sense and you feel a fantastic sense of achievement but that all sounds too slow, difficult and tedious to me.
I didn't spend vast amounts of time learning all that
I used the same weapon for pretty much the whole game.
I’m glad I’m not alone. It just felt clunky and just… not fun to me.
Keep at it mate!
Its one of those games where you really need to give it a good amount of time and be patient. Those who persevere will be rewarded. Very different from everything else, steep learning curve and frustrating but once you've levelled up a little or get past the first boss, a lot of things / story start opening up and will help you understand why these games are so great. You have to experience it for yourself.
I beat Father Gasgoine in Bloodborne, then gave up…
He was such a good fight, what a sad story behind his character arc too! Anyways, its an awesome community (Soulsborne games) if you ever want to get back into it, playing MP with someone else makes it even more fun. Its crazy the number of people who patiently help you beat levels / bosses. Hope to see you back in someday, old hunter.
I also gave up the first time around and put it down for a few months. Then I started watching let’s play videos on YouTube (fightingcowboy and Marz) and they reinvigorated my interest. Once you get the hang of it it’s a masterpiece. The lore is so deep and the level design is amazing.
After pay has finished I believe
If you don’t mind second hand Cex have it for $80

I pre ordered for $79 gorilla gaming.
Great Fromsoft game that showcases the graphics and power of the PS5.
I’ve played all FS games and this is the least difficult out of all of them.
And magic build is OP.
Umbasa!
Just got a ps5 and so the timing is perfect! Thanks
