then she went and did a vidya project of her own with durrhurr cage the creepy french fuck and it turned into a pile of shit. |
both games came out in 2013.
why is cage creepy?

Well as I said before, and I got kinda mocked on this very forum for that, always buy day 1, price hardly ever drop, and now it increases 
“I’ll buy it in 2 years when price drop so I can play better games cheaper”. Yeah right.

Tell us again when that happened the last time though (i've followed console releases since the 70's)...
I bought mine for around 700 euro and they threw in an extra controller.. over price but it's even worse now, never seen it below 800 euro in Sweden. I don't think this console has been sold for its original price ever here, apart from maybe the absolutely first units?
If i remember correctly it's not even legal for stores to sell it above what Sony has set as a price, but i guess the stores does it anyways because nothing happens if they go against it.

Well PS4 price barely dropped (until many years later, and not that much) but the best example is the Nintendo Switch (and Nintendo games). The price remained the exact same to its launch price (299 euros), even increased actually. I preordered it on amazon.fr for 272 euros and regular market price for launch ended up being 299 euros, or even 330 euros for some stores.
Was mocked the same back then for preordering it, not only that but first gen hardware had the NVIDIA fail.

So in other words : it's super rare, maaaaybe one time before, and overall it's not something anyone should do (if you want to make a good deal, which is not always the case). PS4 was on BIG sales numerous times, i bought both the original and the Pro for really good price in Sweden, the Pro one was an especially good price, perhaps 8'ish months after its release.

Well in France, when price dropped, it was not before years later and only 50 euros at best. Not sure it's worth wasting 2 years to save 50 euros but to each his own.
So for me, not that rare if you consider the drops are not consequent. Maybe sweden had the ps4 drop 100 euros after 1 year then good for you. In France this never happened.
Only Xbox One X dropped price a lot in 2019, but 2019.. That was because Xbox Series X was launching the next year. You don't wanna wait 8 years to buy a console for a good price do you?

I never wait even a year, there's usually one price drop during the holidays. why care about france? i live in sweden, bought from amazon (pro version only), likely the UK one at the time, or perhaps it was Germany..

Then your reasoning only works for Swedish people. The rest of Europe always had overpriced PS4, NSW and ps5 after launch.

But like i said, there's really no need to order only from your own country, if you live in EU you can order from Germany etc etc

Anyone any clue when that beta ends? I can barely wait for the 1440p support.

Played the first two hours of The Last of Us Part 1 and wow, the next level visuals are phenomenal and the new cinematics really do add to an already immersive story.
Constantly I find myself exploring and spending time looking around the environments in awe at the detail on display.
The gameplay is as fun and brutal as ever and with the gore system taken straight from The Last of Us Part 2, it’s now just as visceral as the sequel.
It feels great to play through the same game again with the improved AI, much higher fidelity and smooth performance when compared to the PS4 Remastered version.
I absolutely do not regret paying £70 despite having purchased the game on PS3 and PS4 previously.
May the NFOrce be with you always.

It was a tough decision, but I think I'll wait and play the PS7 remaster in 2039.

Thx to uncle turkey it was worth the price but I don't agree with headshot, it is not worth the 80 euros price tag. For 80 euros you have games that are fresher. Even Uncharted 4 and TLOU2 were cheaper. This is surely overpriced. Plus the gameplay isn't as good as TLOU2 (no diving, no dodge, no shooting under the cars). It is only worth that price if you never finished it on PS3 or PS4 and you are entering unknown territory playing this.
Because I already know the story, and the gameplay, I'm not "wowed" like I was on PS3 back then. Sure it looks better and all but it is still the same game. As much as I like exploring, not sure what headshot is exploring here, but it's definitely more closed than TLOU2 (well it is TLOU1 after all) and a lot more linear.
50 euros at best would have been a better price tag. Don't expect anything special except what you saw on trailers if you already finished this game on PS3.
While this is a full blown remake like FF7 remake, FF7 remake is nothing like FF7, everything changed including the gameplay.
Here, nothing changed, just the graphics. Same gameplay, maybe smoother but that's it.
Great game, great remake, but only get it if you never played the original game OR can get it cheaper.

The price is way too steep for what it is, and couldn't they offered a 30% price reduction for us who has the old TLOU on our accounts (if we bought a digital version).
It looks fine, better than the old obviously but i don't think it looks better than Uncharted 4 or TLOU2, which i had hoped since this is quite a bit newer. Overall i think Uncharted 4 is the better game, just an overall fresher take on level design for example, probably my favorite game of all time when it comes to that.

I refuse to buy a the game again. It’s not the kind of game I’d want to play through a second time. Clear cash grab, fuck them.
Uncharted 4 I never even played, may do so now based on the above comment thoiugh!!

I have no problem with it. Cool that it exists, don't mind waiting for the price to drop since I played it before a couple times.
Very much looking forward to playing it in a year or so.

As great as this game is/was, we should all be conditioned by now that when presented with a choice to do the right thing by customers or do the thing that benefits shareholders most, Sony will always, always do the latter. Whether it be releasing a remake for $10 more than anyone ever paid for the original 9 years ago, announcing plans for a library subscription service along with an upgrade path from the existing sub service and then blocking people from redeeming legitimately purchased codes for like 6 weeks, announcing that they are now making profit on hardware sales and then increasing the sales price, selling a PS4 game that comes with a free next gen upgrade for $10 more on PS5, Sony will always, always fuck over the customer.
I say this as someone who owns all 7 Sony consoles before anyone accuses me of being a fanboy.

I'm not having a ton of fun replaying this. I was looking forward to it but.. meh. The graphics are... nice, but it's not like i've ever stopped in awe like i did so many times in Uncharted 4. Also U4's level design, especially with heights, is so much fun, so creative sometimes, this is nothing like that. It's so exciting to see the next level too, that never got old, here its all the same. It's by far the better game. This was awesome for 1 playthrough i would say, but not for two, even if the graphics are better.
It COULD be that i'm just not into this type of game / atmosphere right now. it does happen sometimes.. might stop it and try it again in some months, maybe even wait for the series and maybe that puts me in mood.. bit of a waste to play and feel meh about it.
