Sony Megathread 2023

[Owen]

The Spiderman game is so good. I'm looking forward to it coming out on PC so I can complete it again. I still need to do the DLC actually. Fantastic game though.

[Your Mom]

I own the Spider-Man DLC but never played it. Was it fun? Do I need to replay the main game so I remember stuff? Because as much as I liked the main game I have zero desire to play it again

[BuddyAwesome]

You should be fine. 

[Dang117]

No once you've completed the main game, you don't need to replay it unless you want to complete it on Ultimate new game plus

[TheGrandAvatar]

Best little bit of 20 minute fun time of gaming I can get with my chronic illness. But loving this game. 

[Baddar]

Is that American Fugitive? I stopped playing 2 or 3 main missions from the end as I was into other games, but it's very fun to play for an hour or two here and there.

[TheGrandAvatar]

Yes it is. A lot of fun to play really and level up a character from nothing. Reminded me of the joy of early top down GTA games. 

[Dang117]

Crash 4, Man of Medan and Arcadeggon are this months plus offerings

In case anyone didn't want to watch that video, and they also live under a rock, GoW: Ragnarok is out on November 9th.

The collector's edition and Jötnar edition were revealed too:

• Standard: If you buy the PS4 version and you eventually want the PS5 version, that'll be an extra $10. Otherwise, it's just the base game and nothing else. I'm sure it'll be $59.99 and $69.99 respectively for the PS4 and PS5 versions.
• Digital Deluxe: the full game, Darkdale armor for Kratos & and Darkdale attire for Atreus, Darkdale handles for the Blades of Chaos and the Leviathan Axe, digital soundtrack, digital artbook, avatar set and a PS4 theme. NOTE: the armor and handles are also unlockable through the game, so they aren't exclusive
• Collector's Edition: comes packaged in a Knowledge Keeper’s Shrine box, includes everything in the Digital Deluxe edition, in addition to the full game (digital voucher), a steelbook, two 2" Vanir twins "wooden" toy carvings, a Dwarven dice set and a 16" replica of Mjölnir
• Jötnar Edition: comes packaged in a Knowledge Keeper's Shrine box, includes everything in the Digital Deluxe edition, in addition to the full game (digital voucher), a steelbook, 7" vinyl with two songs from the soundtrack by Bear McCreary, Falcon/Bear/Wolf pin set, Draupnir ring, Brok's dice set, Yggdrasil cloth map, two 2" Vanir twins "wooden" toy carvings, and a 16" replica of Mjölnir

No prices given, and presales go live on the 15th.

I'm sure the two expensive editions will piss people off, since no physical game is included. I still think the best course of action is to offer a Physical and Digital version of stuff like Collector's editions. I believe Horizon did that? Or maybe it was all digital too, I can't remember.

Anyway - 20 minutes later, Forspoken moved its release date to January 24th, 2023. They claim the game is done and they're just polishing it, but the internet talk~! is that they moved it because of God of War releasing a month later.

I can't remember which game it was, but there was one special edition that didn't include a copy of the game at all, let alone a digital one.

[Your Mom]

I'm sad about Forspoken  

Also why are those GoW special editions giving you a steelbook if you don't get a copy of the game?  

[Dang117]

Collector editions not having the disk doesn't make a lot of sense, because the people who usually go for the collector editions are physical game collectors.

That was the $130 version of Battlefield 1 - where you could pay $190 if you wanted the luxury of ALSO owning the game.... 's base version. Add another 20 if you wanted the deluxe.

All in all, I enjoyed my time with God of War - I was sick when it came out and I blazed through it in a couple of days but looking back on it I don't really have any connection to it and I have no real excitement for the sequel. At the very least, being so into it in such a short period of time led me to Neil Gaiman's Norse Mythology so I consider it an overall win.

[gunnar hendershow]

Christ why would I buy a special edition without a physical game? 

[TheGrandAvatar]

Had a good go at some Fifa and qualifying higher division and getting my FUT champion games in. Spoiled for choice with squad players. 

Loved the last hour of gaming on Wasteland 3 and fleshing out my squad. Enjoying the pace of the story so far and how you need a party of many skills. 

[tristy]

I don't know about non-US residents, but because today (and yesterday) are Amazon Prime Day(s), they have PS5 compatible internal SSD expansion cards on sale. I grabbed a WD_BLACK 1TB (w/ heatsink) for $113 - it's usually $160.

But I also had $250 worth on Amazon giftcards because of my birthday last Sunday, so any price would have been okay really. I just lucked out and Prime Day was two days later.

[Your Mom]

I upgraded to the best PS+ to play Stray. Made sense since it was cheaper than just buying the game but now I just hope I remember to cancel in December  

[TheGrandAvatar]

How is Stray? It look a fun cute game. Few people have purchased it which is tempting myself to get it. 

Hope you enjoy it. 😊

You get it on the middle tier, you don't need the top one.
