@oscillator Sure, I just mean they don't need to purchase the game. It'll soon be a bonus they can simply download additionally.

@oscillator The thing with Rocket League is it is going free to play soon isn't it?

I'd probably say Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice normally, but seeing the example two games you have played, I'll instead say Dragon Quest XI S when it comes out or Persona 5 Royal. I could easily cosign what DemonPirate said too though.

@happygaming Reminds me of things I've heard people go through with the Harvest Moon etc. games. "A game about farming? There's no way that's fun." Then they play it and end up having a great time.

What I do is just Wishlist everything I want, then wait for good enough sales to push me towards actually getting the games, and even if the sale is good, if I'm not in the mood to play it, I just pass until the next sale.

@dmcmaster Happened to me with Amazon. They sold my fucking SNES Classic on a Treasure Truck and made me wait like two months to ship me a restocked one.

Sure, a card from 2012 might run it, but if you want to turn on Keanu's hair physics, you need that RTX 3090.

Keighley going Digital and suffering with everyone else I see.

the one and only time I've gone to Walmart it was absolutely pure chaos

Well, judging them all based on that one employee at that one store location that one time probably isn't great is all I'm saying, and working retail too is probably largely dependent of where you worked. I don't think I'd throw myself in front of a stampeding crowd to defend some random person's kid they were irresponsible enough to bring to Black Friday myself either. Even if you did prevent harm from coming to them, a parent like that will likely just endanger them again another time when you're not around and expect someone else to do their job protecting them again. This could become a weird morality debate though, which isn't my intention, just basically saying generalizing isn't great. Either way, especially in 2020, I hope we move further away from Black Friday and lean more into Cyber Monday to prevent people from becoming animals over deals.

@happygaming Zeitgeist probably. Honestly, it is smarter to wait if there's not a launch game you're dying to play.

@dmcmaster That's just Black Friday in general, and employee probably doesn't get paid enough to care, especially when working Retail generally makes you hate the people who shop there over time.

@dmcmaster Walmart has been good to me in the past with this sort of thing. Everyone flocks to Best Buy, Amazon, and even Target, but people sleep on Walmart these days for console launches.

Hopefully PlayStation Game Pass will be announced in 2021.

You already saw Playstation's attempt at that with Playstation Plus Collection.

@yoshi Click the link I provided above earlier. It is very complicated and impossible to summarize.

@yoshi For PS5, that's the case, but between Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S there's lots of differences.

weaker than their current generation console

Well, the situation seems complicated instead of being able to just call it weaker, but I'm kind of glad to not need to deal with it since Sony didn't decide to do something similar.

There is no discless Xbox Series X, just the Xbox Series S, that is much weaker than the X in lots of ways, including very important ones like harddrive space, which if you upgraded you'd lose the money you saved anyways. Whereas the Digital PS5 is simply the PS5 without a disc drive. I'm thinking that $300 S isn't really worth it anymore with the $400 Digital PS5. If Digital PS5 had been $450, then I could've seen the appeal, but I think I'm over the S now. You probably either want the Series X or Digital PS5 or if you can afford it just a new high end PC.

Full disclosure, not my kind of game. Looked cool though. I'm wondering just how short this is going to be with the pricing and the remastered version of original bundle and such. Cool that they seem to be offering all the right consumer options, just afraid this thing is going to end up uncomfortably short if this ends up being lots of people's Day 1 game.

@bam541 My only fears are we've had so many of these trailers now, that I wonder what percentage of the game they've given away and whether or not they've spent more budget making these to market the game than in developing the game itself.

I don't really trust this to be good, but it is looking and sounding like it will be, so I'm pretty irresponsibly hyped for it rn.
