      I only played it like 2 months ago on my PS5. It was a discount to €50 but I’d say full price would still be totally worth it.

      The quality of the game, gameplay and story far surpasses that of many others, 2 years does not degrade the quality of the game.

      I’d rather pay €60 for this than €70 for Astro Bot.

      I hope some mods come out that allows it to be skippable for single player games. I wonder what this means for the future of Playstation games on GOG, since Sony had been releasing games there.

        Starting with this one, it’s a requirement on PC, yes. Hopefully they do away with it due to lost sales, but they’re still at least pretending that they’re somehow going to convert PC players into console players.

          I don’t think that’s their goal at all. Otherwise we wouldn’t see any sequels released on PC, that would be a much better strategy for converting players to console. The only reason publishers require their own logins in games, at least for single-player titles, is data collection. Data is very valuable.

            Literally their goal.

            As mentioned (via Tom Warren) by [Playstation co-CEO Hermen] Hulst in the interview, Sony wants to tempt PC players to purchase and play sequels to single-player narrative games on a PlayStation console.

              There’s their stated goal and their actual goals.

              Do you think they’re just going to come out and say that they want your data?

      I’ve had my PS4 pro for years and never had paid PSN, is it required for PS5?

      Or just for online play, which I do not care for

        They’re referring to Sony’s stance that all their PC releases should require you to have and sign-in to a PSN account. That’s separate to PS+, you don’t need to pay a sub.

        A lot of publishers include this requirement on their PC releases, regardless of whether they’re single-player or multiplayer, and I think a lot of people are fed up with having to have so many different accounts.

        PSN account is free, you probably already have one if you owned one of the last 3 PlayStation consoles. There are paid add-ons if you want the multiplayer or the gamepass like subscription.
