Fighting games are pretty much dead on PlayStation because of that $500 console, $60-$70 games, $20-$30 dlc And now you're telling me I have to pay an additional minimum of $80 a year just to be able to play online the biggest attraction about fighting games ( nobody plays fighting games for the story )
Yes this is wrong . When we already paid for the console and after we have to pay also to play online wow very nice way to earn profit . Soon i am going to dumb my Playstation soon fucking garbage .
Even funnier when you realize that during the PS3’s life cycle, there was PS Plus, but it wasn’t required to play online. It gave you digital exclusive games from the service, gave you full game trials for other games, and gave you deals on games at different times. On PS3, all you had to do to play online was create an account, verify it, and bam, you could play online for free.
Ngl, Stupid move from Sony. But it'll only realize it's stupid if everyone decides that it's not worth it. I always thought that paying for online on top of your internet bill was stupid. Console players got scammed long before this price raise.
Yessum, the day a decent operating system actually makes it to mainstream and Windoze and Linux become a bad memory I might consider going back to PC gaming. Hopefully sometime soon.
Stronger more like where a new graphics card comes out every 5 years and is put in a phone in interns of power prospective every 10 years after that to the point our top phones are something to behold cost you 7 of your kids but whos counting republicans can sell babies to russia to fuel the black market why cant we pff satire satire no more fbi coming to my house because you cant read or do lazy investigations
It boggles the mind how Sony can raise the price of their subscription service when it is a sad pathetic excuse of a competitor for Game Pass? Sony needs to MATCH what Game Pass is offering and only THEN consider raising the price.
Sony is in much better position that’s why. They can get away with it. Microsoft on the other hand are desperate and gamepass in general is compensation for their utter lack of good exclusives. Nintendo could so what Sony did and get away with it. In fact they’re the worse. Microsoft HAS to make Gamepass good value
it makes sense to me their a luxery brand and want to be treated as such i mean have you seen sony in the past 20 years o right this is boggling to you idk how their sony playstation 5 a predefined luxury brand in germany tho their free to pirate anything so idk how luxury when other countries can argue better control for their peers then you maybe blame the way you run your economy that hurts gaming sense everyones trying to tax it after fortnites boom and inflate it more
@@ArturKwaszyn yeah Famous fashion brands include MCM, Hugo Boss, Adidas, PUMA, Escada, JOOP!, Bruno Banani, Jil Sander, Triumph, Schiesser, Closed, Reusch, Valisere, Jack Wolfskin, Ulla Popken, Buffalo, Rohde, Marc O'Polo, Tom Tailor, s. sorry you losers cant even do a quick google search little alone throwing around your childish opinion
You're absolutely right. Gamers outside of the US are getting f*cked completely. Now that games are 70 bucks it's even worse. That's legit a third of the monthly minumum wage here in Colombia.
Kind of hard when almost any non-free to play games online modes require it The only fighting game currently on the market that doesn't require PS Plus for online mode is Grand blue and they have a free version that fucking sucks and you literally have to buy the full price game just so you can do friend matches which is usually what you do in tournaments and is likely the reason why you got the game to play with friends And you only get four characters that rotate every month and you have to buy the full price game in order to get any characters you can't just buy a singular character outright The game is $60 and the first wave of DLC is going to be around 50 Back to the problem with PS Plus almost every full price game that has online modes require it Gta Dmc soulsborn series Fighting games in General Minecraft ( before Microsoft ) Most of these games going to be anywhere from $40 to $70 and with modern fighting games they're only Allure is online mode
This will probably be the last time I get PS Plus as I want to play online with my friends. I can’t play the same games on PC and most of my friends aren’t into PC gaming anyways and I find it stupid how I have to pay to play online on a game I’ve already paid for on a console I’ve also already paid for
"Playstation plus essentials" that's literally them blackmailing you to pay for a service to to get the essentials of gaming on a console you already bought for a game you already bought. Imagine buying a car and they only give you the frame of the car, then tell you to pay for a subscription to get the essentials such as all the hardware and software under the hood to make the car actually run, and in this analogy gas is the game you bought.
Fighting games are pretty much dead on Playstation because almost every single one of them and all of the popular ones have all online activities restricted to PlayStation Plus I literally just paid $70 for Mortal Kombat 1 just to get hit with a PlayStation Plus requirement in order to play online When Street Fighter 5 came out I bought it on release and we all know how bad that was and they fixed it I came back and it required PlayStation Plus to be online King of Fighters 15 spent $60 on it online mode requires PlayStation Plus Persona 4 Arena ultimax PlayStation Plus required I have a $500 console Playing 60 to 70 dollar games that are releasing DLC for $20 to $30 and you're telling me I have to pay an additional $80 minimum just a play online This is bullshit
Imagine killing off an entire genre of games (fighting games) by requiring it for online play Mortal Kombat 1 -$70 with $30+ dlc Street Fighter 6 -$70 with $30+ dlc Kof XV -$60 with $88+ dlc The only fighting game that doesn't require PlayStation Plus is Granblue fantasy
Use to be 49.99 a year now it’s 100 for us in Canada feels like it goes up almost every year by 20 can’t justify the cost to play online a few times a year when the same games are free on pc
As someone who has 2 years prepaid currently for 100$ because of pre inflation christmas sales i can say its barely worth it at half off the old price (10/10 recommend buying 1 year of mid tier if its your first year on playstation though)
Pc players should be happy for free online but console players getting ripped off by sony and Microsoft. Games are paywall. You pay monthly internet aka live service, buy console , then buy game, then buy online ps plus subscription , then buy micro transaction like shark cards, v bucks , gold coins, loot boxes. Ps2 era was golden era.
Everyone just buy the essential. Like you may think that extra and premium is good but it’s just a bunch of 2018 games that are mid. also all that it has are games like peppa pig and paw patrol💀
That’s why I canceled my subscription the price just isn’t worth it. I was initionally impressed but after seeing the types of games we were getting I just said said eff it and canceled
Till this very day I'm switching between my PS5 and my gaming PC every day and I'm sad that I cannot dedicate myself to just one of them. PC is far superior in almost aspect but I miss that "I pick up my controller, it turns on the PS, that turns on the TV and I can game instantly.". Playing on the PS5 is somehow just more...comfy?
I canceled mine after the price hike. Didnt make sense to me to pay extra on top of my internet bill to play online when I can play those same online games on my PC for free. Also they have been doing some shady shit with the licenses of digital games and not letting me play some of my digital games that I bought before they were even available on ps plus. And exclusive wise, only game series I ever really liked from them was uncharted and god of war. Every other game i played was multiplat.
Sony ponies don't need ps plus, if they're just using the system for single player games. Well, that is for the user with PS5 disc version console, and not a disc-less console.
I wanna play Bloodborne online again it’s the only thing I use my ps4 for But why would I pay so much money just to play online a game that’s almost 10 years old?
This is why I’ve always preferred game pass, not even just for day one games, but because I feel like i’m getting bang for my buck, whereas with PS Plus most of the games on their catalog can already be bought for under $20 by the time they release on the service, games on Game Pass, for the most part feel like they have actual value, even if i’m paying a bit more for it than I would PS Plus, and that’s not even mentioning how good Microsoft’s cloud streaming is compared to Sony’s. Even with Ultimate now costing $20 a month, they justify it with extra stuff like EA Play (which is only good for Dead Space and some older 360 games since EA has gone to shit but still) and member perks
One would think the quality of the games would dramatically improve. But no the majority of games people already own or they're flops that didn't sell well at all. I want to play something like Alan Wake 2 on day 1. Included with my subscription.
Fighting games are pretty much Dead on Playstation Especially with Street Fighter 6 and Mortal Kombat 1 being $70 games that have 20 to $30 DLC So you have to at minimum play $80 a year just a play online mode for literally every fighting game except granblue
As a person who moved from PC to PS4, I feel like I took an L. Yes, PC gets cheaper to play if Sony keeps making a monopoly, but throw us console gamers a bone! 80 bucks a year to just play ONLINE?!
once spiderman & ratchet and clank came over to steam i cut ties with Playstation Plus for good , we have no need for a PS5 now as there games will come over to PC in the end
At this point I might as well pay 4 thousand dollars for a top end PC the monthly payments would be like 100 dollars a month or 200 dollars a month 80 dollars a month just to play multiplayer with inferior graphics is not worth it I’m seriously considering joining the PC master race
Don't forget they release a ps4 version, without releasing the ps5 version of the game, until a year later and then remaster or remaking the ps5 game and then hiking the price back up to the original price, even though you beat the game and with the new game you get a little bit of adjustments. on top of that charging you a fee to upgrade ps4 to the ps5 version even though they are making a new version of the same game. That's some shady stuff there. I remember them saying they don't care that people unsubscribe from PSN+ That they think they will make more money and I know why they said it, because people who leave psn+ will buy single player games and Sony makes Single player games. They don't care about the online half because destiny 2 is free to play and other developers would suffer the loss, because people would go well I don't have online, so I'll just buy a single player game. I hope people wake the hell up and stop right now, cause Sony is getting little too comfortable and greedy and think they have to locked in as one of their suckers who will buy stuff. It be better if you built a better PC and then bought all the online games on that instead. then if you decide to buy a playstation title wait till it goes on sale. If you are a streamer well i know it ain't going to stop you but me, I ain't playing 80-160 for a digital library that might expire and all those games aren't yours they are theirs because you pay a subscription, it be better to buy the games on disc at gamestop for cheap or bargain place.
@Xynox138 It will be soon, they just added discord support. You can be on PC and play with people on console with cross-play if they decide to keep their PSN, so you won't be losing anything. Sony doesn't really make online co-op games, they make single player triple A games most of the time. they rely on 3rd party developers to make online games and then try to reap the rewards from that. Sony will probably lose a lot of money sooner or later, people panic bought plus subscriptions. Once those end, I don't think anyone is going to re-sub and Sony going to go into panic mode. They'll try to offer sales and to entice them if not, if they wait too long to do that, they'll lose a big chunk of audience to the PC. with rising inflation and pc gaming being free to play online, while people didn't wanna pay 60 to begin with and now days games are 80 dollars. and you get better deals on pc well that will hurt console companies, not just Sony.
Never buy big companies games aor consoles. Only buy good pc and play pirated games. Problem solved. Dont bother any companies to suppoert except non-woke indie companies.
''It isn't about the money its about the vaule''. The hell are you talking about?! Its about both. I wish they cut off PS+ essential. I pay enough for internet already.
the point I was trying to make was, I can justify a price hike if their was quality all across the board to an extent. But I understand where you're coming from, both aspects do indeed suck.
whats BS is you dont even get the better version of the game with DLC.. they give you the basic version, also who cares about other countries inflation issues, not my problem
Subscription expired which i bought in 2021 during price discount. After price hike even after discount of 25% it will still be more then normal price it had. Back to single player which i mostly play anyway or i will just download some free to play like warzon something. Create a poll where players can tell they unsubscribed after price hike so those greedy bastards can see. In the end its demand. If today everyone cancel their subscription, they probably will make it free to play online but because there is demand that's the reason its happening.
Unrelated to this but I have been wronged by Sony. I accidentally bought Helldivers 2 from the PlayStation store on PC. Obviously that did t work and I asked for a refund, and had to wait in a queue just to refund it, and the guy told me It would take not 1, not 3, but 7 fucking days. I have to go through a week of school, just so I can get my money back, so I can spread democracy. I hate Sony, PlayStation. They are the worst and most greedy company and I don’t understand how people can like these greedy rich business men making it harder for people to have to wait and wait for use to get back my muney
Anyone know where to get turkey account I'm not paying $80 a year just to play gta and cod online. I rather switch to xbox and get ultimate gamepass for $99 a year.
The reason Sony doesn't have new exclusives is because they can't afford to. Think about it. Most Xbox games that are popular are online multiplayer stuff like Halo, Sea of thieves, Forza, Gears, Left 4 dead. This is great for Microsoft because it means there subscribers will stick around longer then if they were just playing a single campaign. And it cuts down on cost. They literally just need to produce 4 multiplayer games every 10 years and there subscriber base would be fine. The problem with Sony games people love like God of war and Last of us is that they cost them too much money to produce so they need to recoup costs back. And single player gamers that are finished in 8 hours don't keep people around paying for a subscription.
