In addition to this, the first DLC for Starfield is out this week.

::EDIT::
Its also built with UE4 instead of the same engine that GW was built on. So its already a huge improvement right there.

Good work Sony. Now If only the people from my region had any dignity and stop purchasing your consoles after all...Don't waste your time. Thank me later.

Early access MTX packs for a game already out in other regions? Blacklist.
Pay for power leveling pass and battle pass? Blacklist
Auction house? Blacklist
Three different main currencies? Believe it or not, blacklistIts literally like early Diablo 3 in the regard of being able to use pay real money for buying items on the auction house
If they remade classics that are not available on modern platforms it would be one thing, but this is available in the PS4 so why bother. Sure release it on PC and recompile it for the PS5 with new gen improvements why not, but asking full price for it is nuts.
Also a side note Starcraft is coming to game pass in November if anyone is interested
If you're not happy about it, you're free to ask for a refund of your monthly subscription fee to TPU.
F2P Asian MMO... really?, another one?, it looks like a cashgrab mtx infested crack den, i mean graphic are good and all that but i don't see the need for ANOTHER F2P MMO, isn't the market absolutely saturated by now?.
Also, what's with that stupidity of releasing it in asia then 8+ months later rest of the world?
i've seen several MMO that have done this.
Let's move to others:
SAO... ¿why?, leave it as anime, don't make games based on a aniem that depicts a very futuristic mmo with neural connection in our "current" tech, it will never work out well.
horror.. lost me
survival open w.. lost me, that means "we're too lazy to write a campaign, here's a glorified SDK disguised as a game"
bullet storm type game.. nah
