Analysis Circana September 2024: PS5 #1 (-45%) NSW #2 (-23%) XBS #L (-54%) / EA FC25 #1, Astro Bot#2, Madden 25 #3
Engagement is often used as fluff and can be bogus manufactured hype. Many games don’t have the players behind it spending. The kings of mountain do tho… it’s a discussion requiring nuance for sure. -
News PS Stars will no longer give points for money spent on subscriptions
I don’t even see the $10 psn cards that some users are posting. I saw chatter about it being bugged. I hope… this is so lame. The points will have become so worthless now 😑 -
Analysis Circana September 2024: PS5 #1 (-45%) NSW #2 (-23%) XBS #L (-54%) / EA FC25 #1, Astro Bot#2, Madden 25 #3
The neat thing about the revenue charts on the console OS is that it will include MT and DLC revenue for online games. And of course online the same games are topping these revenue charts week after week. It’s not just engagement fluff. They’re also the most consistent and biggest money... -
News PS Stars will no longer give points for money spent on subscriptions
Did they really do this!? I checked my points like 3 nights ago to check if I close to another $20 card (to get REmake 4 on sale). I was just shy like 70 pts from the 5k total…. And then they remove the psn store cards the next day. Man… what a bummer. This is how I got all the REmakes … on... -

Well, they do launch another live service game next week when Destiny Rising goes into closed beta for mobile. -
Multiplatform Dragon Age The Veilguard Final Trailer Released
I bought their last two games day one. Not this one. Not buying the manufactured hype just yet. -
Discussion Bungie’s integration into SIE deepens
I put about 10 hours into Helldivers 🤣. I doubt I’ll be the only one checking it out again when the pro launches. -
Discussion Circana: 82% of all PS5 sales are disc versions. Sony knows they're really charging 920€ / $780 for the PS5 Pro people actually want.
Sure I bought a disc drive ps5… but not once loaded a disc into it. -
Discussion What Are You Playing Right Now?
I’m gonna take the plunge and try Throne and Liberty. Briefly saw some good impressions from skillup’s brother and continue to see it doing strong with engagement. Looks like it’s doing something right. F2P mmorpg available on PlayStation. -
Analysis Circana September 2024: PS5 #1 (-45%) NSW #2 (-23%) XBS #L (-54%) / EA FC25 #1, Astro Bot#2, Madden 25 #3
Helldivers sorta needs to retain its price if they’re not doing a f2p, expansion models or paid dlc to sustain bigger content drops. Fallout 76 and Sea of Thieves try to do this also. Its player base has picked up a bit. Will be interesting to ever hear if players even really bother with... -
Discussion Bungie’s integration into SIE deepens
Bungie as a development studio is wholly retained aside from the previous guts (including what Sony took for that new Playststion studio and game). Nearly all of this is the notorious “overlap” aside from maybe the artist but they’ve been contracting from Sony recently for extra hands when... -
News PS5/PS5PRO Versions in Development For: Fable, Gears E:Day, Perfect Dark, Avowed, Blade, Halo(Not Remake)
Prediction time. This gen will go even longer than PS360 and in latter half of it (which is starting like now) will be with Microsoft fully supporting PS5 as a third party due to gamepass’ and Xbox hardware’s continued failure. Xbot fan copium will continue to be laughable but the industry and... -
Discussion Sony's Guerrilla Sounds Completely Done with the Killzone Series
More than okay with this. Resistance and Killzone is hugely overrated, mid and no one remembers. -
Discussion Bungie’s integration into SIE deepens
After the second wave of lay-offs at Bungie it was mentioned that 155 or so employees from Bungie would now be moving onto positions within Sony. A handful have made public announcements in the last few months and it seems as if an another wave of talent is migrating over. I first noticed... -
News UK Sales: Week 42, 2024 (Oct 13 to 19)
I’m always astonished to see Wreckfest consistently charting … I didn’t give it a fair shake when it came free on plus but I did not like what I played. -
Discussion The AA Problem: Gamers don't want to buy AA games
Most of these mentioned are not AA games. I would not consider Remnant, Yakuza or Stellar Blade AA by any means. AA games sorta don’t exist like they did. There’s a huge gap now between indie and AAA and not much in between. -
Discussion What genres or types of games do you miss, that are not made anymore?
I want to see a futuristic racer that is more FZERO GX than Wipeout with heavy online component. Definitely not open world. Arcade racers in general that aren’t open world are missed. From outrun to burnout 3 or a driveclub… gone. More 8-10 hr action games is missed too. Everything is... -
Discussion SBI: Namco game Unknown 9 lives up to it's name. Release imminent and no-one bats an eye.
Why would square stop making games for pc. Square who for the last 25 yesrs has the strategy of goddess waifus = $ Keep in mind comiccon is in town and girls are dressed like tifa and aerith walking thru NYC. That review was a bit lols -
Discussion Single Player Gamers - Why do you dislike multiplayer?
Multiplayer games tend to offer more depth and complex gameplay systems to master as well. Or they reinforce mastery of gameplay which is itself an engagement hook. We are competitive creatures and engaging in such is hugely appealing. Single player games also do this and offer challenge but...
