Good additions... where is @BraLoD to celebrate LoD is on the classic list, must mean the sequel will launch next week.
I'm sorry for having doubted you could sell 30M PS5s this year, Sony.
LoD alone is clearly going to push it way past that conservative mark.
If it doesn't have anti aliasing, I won't bother with the classics
LoD has never had the power to push anything and never will. It's not even in the top 50 best selling games on its original platform. Its just a lowly 1 million seller that current Sony would be disappointed with (hence no more Japan Studio). Its lowly position is deserved due to a certain someone who supports this game yet uses racial slurs at the countrymen who made this game while not caring for said wrongdoing, which is hypocritical in itself.
How can I be a sorry person for telling a racist individual the coors light cold hard facts facts about their favorite series by using actual facts thats on this video game sales website (for starters)? Good to know that you haven't gotten smarter in 5 years. Still as unaccountable as ever and deflecting, but thats expected of a racist to double down on their actions without seeing their wrongdoing. As a consequence of showing no improvement (as expected) even after the mod said that they were going to talk to you (but clearly that had no effect if they did), I'll leave your racist post here (Btw, I still have the PM's with you, and the mod that shows the entire convo in which they disagreed with your actions, so this would be a good time for your brain cells to actually develop):

The ps plus is on fire right now,
And the exclusive list is just amazeballz
This is a caffeine overload, that's going to lead to heavy caffeine consumption during play.
Delighted, was literally about to buy the Quarry.
Horizon: FW is a huge offering for the Extra Tier. Sony likely pushing it before the DLC arrives.
Edit: This is possibly the strongest selection I've ever seen on PS Plus.
LoD is price enough for entry alone here, it's never been in the UK PSN store on any platform. You want it? You gotta go to Ebay and pay anywhere between £100 to £150 for it.
On a side note, honestly a little shocked to see Horizon FW here. I know the idea is to appeal to subscribers but if it's on Extra, it's barely been a year since release. It (to me) undervalues the game, when it's added to a service along side all these other games which you can mostly get for £5-10 at CEX. Am I to expect Ragnorak in November?
I think the worst part of PlayStation service is that we have no idea when we can expect Ragnarok. We just have to hope that they give it to us sometime soon. If they'd set a fixed date for when their big games will hit the service, I'd be a lot more likely to stay subscribed. As it is right now, I think I'll only be picking it up once in a while when a game that I want, that can't be purchased for less than a short subscription price hits the service. They would get far more money out of me in the long run if I could count on them to put their big first party games on the service in a timely manner. I'm just one person, but I'm sure I'm not the only person that thinks this way. It's a pretty normal way for people to handle subscription services.
Yes but they have no obligation to ever give it to us at all, and fair enough. If they want to maximise profits on their games because of the resources put into their big titles, they should be releasing them as full priced retail prices for as long as possible as long as demand is still there before even considering adding it to a service just to entice people to sub on as little as £5 a month depending on the deals you can find.
They shouldn't ever have a '1 year after we'll add it to this sub' because this might hurt retail sales, where they presumably make the most profits because if people know they just won't buy the game at retail and just wait. Same goes for Ragnorak, I usually buy my games at around £30-40 for big retail games, I don't mind waiting a little bit after release for a cheaper price but we are already in Feb, if they told us it's coming in November, I wouldn't bother paying even a discounted retail price. Just play it on PS+.
No. I Will either buy the games, or I will subscribe to the service for short periods
of time. I'm not a subscriber right now, because there's nothing that I want to play there (that I haven't already played) and I have no idea when the next game that I care about will hit the service.
I am currently a subscriber to Game Pass, even though I'm not playing any games on the service right now. But, there are a couple of games that I expect to come to the service this spring (Redfall and Starfield) that I'm interested in. Because I've known that those games would be coming, and there are some others that look to be a little further off, I didn't let my subscription lapse when I finished the last game I was playing on the service.
PlayStation has more exclusive titles that interest me. But, Microsoft gets far more subscription revenue from me because I see a reason to remain continuously subscribed to their service. So, instead of getting $15ish dollars per month from me indefinitely, I pick up PlayStation exclusives on disc once every several months, and resell them when I'm done. In the future, I can see myself subscribing for a month or so when a game I care about hits the service. I haven't done the math on it, and obviously it changes based on the cadence of their releases and when I decide to buy them, but I bet that they're getting something like 1/3 as much money from me as they would if they made their subscription service more compelling. And, like I said, the main thing I need from the subscription service is predictable release dates for the big games.
While HFW has reappeared on the charts a number of times since launch , Sony most likely have seen the game trail off enough for them to put it on Plus Extra, so this does two things, firstly it makes Premium more attractive for those who aren't into old shitty games like LoD after all the only reason that Final Fantasy wannabee got a nod was to stop @BraLod harassing them😊 secondly it puts HFW into the hands of more gamers creating a larger base for the DLC to hopefully draw from.
I feel safe after all I'm expecting at least 2 weeks of BraLoD trying to figure out how PS Plus and Premium works and then once he realises you need money a further week of harassing his family and neighbours for someone willing to pay, and even though this comes on top of hundreds of LoD play throughs, I expect we'll see a couple of years of him playing this version of LoD using a stolen photocopy of the original Lod strategy guide, helping him to at least say he got close to the end.
That length of time,combined with his attention span along with him being busy moaning that DonFerrari tricked him into believing the PS Plus Premium release was a sign that LoD 2 was coming out should see my post forgotten.
Scarlet Nexus is great. As for classic. ADD OMEGA BOOST YOU COWARDS!
Honestly shocked by how fantastic the line-up is this month!
Legend of Dragoon FTW!
Aww, yeah! Harvest Moon!
I was hyped for borderlands 3 till the reviews came out. Are they making part 4?
It had massives sales so br4 will come out,
The only problem with br3 was lack of innovation
wow - nice month.
Looking forward to Borderlands 3 & Ace Combat 7.
Ace combat 7 is amazing. Played it last yr
I think PlayStation could satisfy a lot of people if they would put their big AAA games in their subscription service something like 90 days after release. That would allow them to still get most of those high price, early sales, while also offering an attractive value to their subscribers. Also, even if it was something like 6 months after release, just having a fixed date at which the big games will launch would be very helpful to consumers. Right now, we just have to hope that maybe, someday, we'll get to play God of War Ragnarok on there.
As it stands right now, I'm not inclined to subscribe to their service, because I don't see how I can get my money's worth out of it.
