Lucky that you aren't gamers then. I'll manage to survive though, thanks for caring.

Flawlessmic386d ago

these next 2 months are crazy!!

I'm going to have star wars, redfall, zelda, diablo, ff16, sf6 all the play as i plan on buying them all.

where im actually gonna have time to play them is another story, definitely going to need to take some time off to get to even half of them. what a great time to be a gamer on all platforms.

RedDevils386d ago

I just get Zelda and ff16 others can just wait until I finished.

Flawlessmic386d ago (Edited 386d ago )

@red

Seems the smart thing to do honestly, can't go wrong with those 2 both look insane. Both games should last a good while as well.

Just for monetary reasons I might hold off on star wars and sf6 although Whether I have the mental strength to do that is a different story hahaha

Still can't get over how stacked these first 6 months have been, it's ridiculous especially for people that have more than one console.

Great problem to have 🙏

DarXyde386d ago (Edited 386d ago )

I'll wait on Street Fighter 6. I feel that there's going to be a lot of DLC and the inevitable Super/Arcade Edition/etc.

Zelda and Final Fantasy XVI promise to make this a great time. Both are big time sinks that I fully expect to take me out to fall.

Enjoy mate. I have to be a bit selective because it's costly (financially and in terms of time commitment). Hope you enjoy them all. 🙂

kingnick386d ago

I couldn't agree more with this comment.

This site seems to be full of sensationalists often pushing political agendas.

Broncob386d ago

Yep I despise them mate, pure scum

isarai387d ago (Edited 387d ago )

Maybe I'm picky, maybe I'm jaded, or maybe the industry actually does just suck beyond belief, but I just don't find myself buying as many games as I used to. I'm just so burnt out on everything having unnecessarily convoluted crafting system, 5 different skill trees, lifeless open world's full of fluff, or another "survival" game where 1st thing you do is punch a damn tree. Or worst of all a GAAS title. Last game I bought and thoroughly enjoyed was Evil West, since then I've been wandering through the PS+ game catalog just killing time till something catches my attention.

None of these games have me excited, FFXIV might be cool but it's wait and see for me

phoenixwing387d ago

I think you're jaded. I'll be playing street fighter 6 and ff16

S2Killinit386d ago

I will be picking up FF16 after what I’ve seen and this will be pretty much my only FF game ever.

NotoriousWhiz386d ago (Edited 386d ago )

Same. I will be making time for SF6 and FF16. Everything else will have to get in where it can fit in.

I'm also still unsure if I want to grab Diablo 4. Or just pick up diablo 2 resurrected on sale for a quick nostalgia hit.

Inverno387d ago

the curse of going mainstream is everything starts to look and play the same. You wait for the one game you're excited for and it plays much like the rest you weren't interested in. It's a bit you, but also the industry just sucks.

Fonsecap387d ago

Yeah, my feeling exactly...

porkChop386d ago

It's because games are filled with so much bloat. I will gladly take 10-20 hours of great content over 20 hours of great content handcuffed to 30 hours of boring, monotonous content. I just can't be bothered anymore.

FinalFantasyFanatic386d ago

I'm not excited for these particular games, alot of fighting games are just getting too complicated for me when they keep adding in all these new systems in. I could barely play them 5 plus years ago and now there's even more to learn/keep track of?

Not a Diablo Fan, so Diablo 4 is a hard pass for me, and FF16 has no hype from me because of how disappoint the franchise has been for a decade plus, hopefully FF16 is one of their better games.

Ninver386d ago

FFXIV was released years ago mate

Chocoburger384d ago

100% my thoughts on the state of gaming these days. Many games are designed around "player retention" in order to keep shoving the micro-trash-action store in your face.

A shameful blight on this industry. I barely buy modern games these days, I'm sick of the Ubisoft-effect inflicting our industry.

VersusDMC387d ago

It will kill reviewers but not regular gamers as most don't like all genres.

For me FFXVI is day 1, SF6 is a maybe depending on reviews and how much single player content there is. Getting it eventually though. Never cared about Diablo.

therealmacoy386d ago (Edited 386d ago )

Already pre-ordered my deluxe edition

ModsDoBetter387d ago

Way too many titles for me:

Street Fighter
Diablo
Park Beyond
The Greyhill Incident
Final Fantasy XVI

Going to be a great month!

JeffGUNZ386d ago

Man, I am pumped for The Greyhill Incident.

ModsDoBetter386d ago

Looks so good, love horror games but they always feature ghosts or zombies, so aliens is a nice change of pace.

z2g387d ago

Unpopular opinion: I’m actually not really interested in any of these games.

kingnick386d ago

You're entitled to your opinion and have the right to voice it.

I'm not hyped for any of these games but I go out of my way to not buy into hype and make judgments based on media and reviews released after the game has released as too many Youtubers and review sites let free preview/review copies from developers and publishers cloud their judgment.

Diablo IV is Available on PlayStation Cloud Gaming - Beats Xbox to the Punch

Diablo IV is now available to play via PlayStation Cloud Gaming! Still not available to Play on Xbox Cloud Gaming.

We ran our script again and found 15 other PS5 games (a lot of popular ones!) that got PS5 Cloud Gaming support within the last month as well.

Not for me, I'm 100% physical media all of the time.

jwillj2k41d 20h ago

I hate that I have to keep calling this out, but your physical disks mean nothing if the game code attempts to connect to a server prior to playing.

Hugodastrevas1d 20h ago

And that happens when? I'm playing completely offline here, stellar Blade to be more precise.
I'm sorry but I've never run into that imaginary problem you're talking about, I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but it has never happened to me.

jwillj2k41d 20h ago

You not running into the problem yet has no bearing on my argument. You’re acting like the medium is the shield for you being able to always play your games when it effectively is not. The game code itself can try to connect to a server or the console you’re playing on may receive an update that requires that game to connect to a server. Just because you haven’t ran into it doesn’t mean anything lol you don’t own your games no matter how you try.

Hugodastrevas1d 19h ago

So I have never run into the problem you're talking about and your answer is an hypothetical? Look I can play any game of my library offline right now without issue.
That issue is in your mouth and alone.

Crows901d 15h ago

Actually...there's an easy way...don't connect. If it doesn't require a connection and you don't connect...the code can't update...obviously....confused why you don't get what he's saying.

outsider16241d 14h ago

Hold on..lets say i dnt have an online connection, can i atleast play the game offline though. Was thinking of getting this

jwillj2k41d 9h ago

None of you use your brains.

OK, let’s explore this playing offline. not talking about Diablo specifically just gaming in general.

Are you going to buy two PlayStations? One offline one online? If not, moment you want to play something that requires a connection you’re cooked.

Does game experience you love so much stay the same offline?

Is the game even playable offline?

The whole point of my argument is that we don’t hold the keys anymore. The gatekeepers are the developers and console makers regardless of whether it’s digital or physical. You altering your play style for a lesser experience is not a workaround, it doesn’t solve the overall problem.

None of this matters since the move to the cloud is inevitable.

spicelicka2d ago

So you have to buy the game and can only stream to the PS5 devices using PS plus premium? What is the point of that. Much more useful when you can stream to other devices.

MrNinosan1d 23h ago

Works great on my Portal while at work 👍

spicelicka1d 21h ago

That's streaming off your PS5, not from the cloud. This is specifically referring to cloud gaming.

CrimsonWing691d 23h ago

Can’t you, uh, do this on your phone?

Tacoboto1d 22h ago

Sony doesn't yet have a web or app-based solution to stream games off their cloud service, the closest you may be able to get would be Remote Play if they allow cloud streaming during a Remote session.

And yes this applies to the Portal too.

Einhander19721d 3h ago (Edited 1d 3h ago )

Tacoboto

Please stop talking about PlayStation Streaming, you don't know what you're talking about.

I just explained this to you the other day where you were telling people that remote play was their only cloud solution, because apparently you didn't understand how PlayStation Premium works even though PS Now was a thing since shortly after the launch PS4..

You can stream to PC and Mac, and they had mobile clients for it in the past but probably for the same reason Microsoft is fighting Apple and Google PS Now wasn't allowed on App stores. Which is why it's not on iPhone and Android still.

And to be honest, I am glad they are trying to keep it on the console, all their moves away from the console seem like a step in the wrong direction, which isn't working so great for Microsoft...

anast1d 22h ago

Blizzard is shoving this game everywhere. Diablo 4 is going to take an even bigger hit soon. Path of exile 2 is coming out and it looks insane.

Crows901d 15h ago

Well they're about to release the next season...I think that might be way they're pushing the game again.

anast1d 1h ago

I mean I get what you are saying, but D4 isn't doing that well either.

UnbreakableAlex1d 21h ago (Edited 1d 21h ago )

I completed it on gamepass. Thanks God I dint pay it full price. It plays like a lazy mobile game. I am not a pro diablo gamer (Diablo 1 was the only one I completed) but D4 has no atmosphere, no creepy feeling and soundtrack like the first one and its so easy, I managed to not buy any weapon and had 4 Million Credits on level 55. I always used the same 4 attacks from the beginning and died maybe 10-15 times. It's so easy, wtf. I remember D1 to be pretty hard.
WTF happened? Is Diablo 3 also that bad?

jwillj2k41d 20h ago

Diablo 3 was my first Diablo game. I had to use the mailbox cheats to keep it interesting.

Crows901d 15h ago (Edited 1d 15h ago )

Diablo 3 was really hard at launch....then they made it easy.

They love scaling difficulty though.

anast1d 1h ago

D2 is the pinnacle. I still fire it up from time to time.

GrmpyolGamer 1d 13h ago

Considering that the PS cloud steaming is garbage compared to XCloud and is limited to certain devices this isn't something to brag about. Wake me up when Diablo is on PS plus
