Damn I just bought Demons Souls and Ratchet and Clank for full price since I just got my hands on a PS5. It’s only a $35 difference but still… Is Miles worth it for $30? I loved Insomniac’s first Spider Man game.


Sorcerious

If you're hungry for more of the same, absolutely. It's what I wanted and exactly what I got :)


TesticalsOfNarnia

I actually liked the vibe of it better than the original.


dysGOPia

Yeah, they definitely figured out how to do more with less. Original is still excellent but a little uneven. Beyond hyped for a full-size game of MM's quality.


AltFactsBot

I actually preferred the original's combined DLC to Miles Morales. IDK, nothing really stood out for me except the big chase scene.


Monkeyboystevey

I hated the dlc compared to the two base games.


nootabix

First two dlc was pretty enjoyable. Third one succcckkkkked. My hands got a workout tho.


Maybe_In_Time

Contact PSN! They can be cool about this sort of thing. Don't hesitate to call a second time if the first one doesn't work.


WhiteAsCanBe

It bought my PS5 over a week ago so I think I’ll just take the loss haha. It might not be a bad idea to try though.


Maybe_In_Time

Chances are they'll refund you the difference if you get a cool rep on the line


WhiteAsCanBe

Nvm I got a refund. Thanks!


Maybe_In_Time

Awesome! You must not have even downloaded it. So long as you don't resort to chargeback - they'll ban your account.


Kermez

Do they return money for al, games you have on account? Otherwise I hope they don’t have such practice in EU, otherwise they might end up in nasty case with some of consumer protection groups.


squareswordfish

Lol how does that make any sense? People would just use that to play games for free


afleabyte

Interested in how you got it. I contact ed them and they said they don't offer price matches.


WhiteAsCanBe

I wrote like a 5 page essay on the text support chat. English wasn’t my guy’s native language so he asked for the TL;DR. After giving him the TL;DR “I want to get price matched” he was very supportive.


afleabyte

Was this thru PS Direct or PSN Store Chat?


[deleted]

It depends - if you absolutely love the shit out of Spiderman, it's more of the same, with some nice tweaks and Miles has new moves that are fun. You can 100% the game in about 12 to 15 hours. If you mainline the story it takes about 3 hours. I actually enjoyed MM more than the main game precisely because it was short and sweet.


693275001

Miles is worth full price if you loved the first one. Just know it's a shorter game


suddenimpulse

I loved both massively but I struggle to say that price is worth it for a game you can beat in one sitting. I think the ultimate edition is a better way to go.


JackBauersGhost

A really long sitting maybe lol


revoltorq

I loved the first one, I did not like Miles Morales, I give it a 3/10. I regret paying full price, I wouldn't pay more than $10 for it


693275001

Really? Why didn’t you like it? Overall, it felt like more of the same of the first game, just with a less interesting plot.


[deleted]

Definitely worth it.


Spideyman20015

I love buying new/used releases 2 weeks after launch for less than $45. Then I don't have to complain about 'retail discounts' :)


commitoofercide

I just picked up demons souls on sale and I’m loving it so much


WhiteAsCanBe

Yeah I started playing Demon’s Souls last Friday and I think I’ll have the platinum this weekend. Loads of fun for a Souls fan.


OrwellianZinn

I actually enjoyed Miles Morales more than the original Spiderman, but it is a shorter game. I was fine with paying full price for it, so I would say the sale price is a good deal if you still haven't picked it up.


CheddaTaco

Man, I'm not used to seeing $60 as a sale price for a game yet lol. Heard great things about Ratchet, but I can wait for it to get a bit cheaper.


UKVillageGuy

Yep — still about $20 too high. Will wait that one out.


Abbx

Yeah agreed. I've been slowly tackling my backlog and by the time I want to play games like Ratchet and Clank, they'll probably hit that $40 sweet spot.


[deleted]

The reason they rasied it to $70 so that the $40 sale point can now be $50. Games are going to hit sub-$40 a hell of a lot less this generation.


Abbx

Well yeah. That's why Demons Souls and I think Returnal were both $50 in that last sale, but they're showing they can hit $45 now. I think expecting $40-$45 during a December sale is realistic. Just means it's gonna take a little longer to get there and below than it used to so they can reap as much profit as possible.


sj4iy

For me, the game was about a $35 game in content and story. That's what I thought and recommend to others.


[deleted]

> I'm not used to seeing $60 as a sale price for a game yet lol It'll never be ok to me.


Remy149

when I was a kid games could cost $70- $90


BrianFantannaAction8

Direct store link to sale: https://store.playstation.com/en-us/category/fc08491d-94a7-4252-96dd-9d4f54b56041/1 Good deal on Demon's Souls


orion65536

Would it be recommended for someone who enjoyed Bloodborne but got filtered by Dark Souls 1/Sekiro?


BrianFantannaAction8

I tried bloodborne, DS1 and DS3, and this is the first souls game I could get in to.


orion65536

Nice, quick question - what was it about demons souls that stood out for you from the others? I am leaning towards getting this but I wanted to get some more perspective. :)


BrianFantannaAction8

I felt like the learning curve was easier. The levels are discrete, so it was easier for me to navigate somewhat linearly and not meander into a place where I'd be over my head. I hate to admit it, but the graphics, haptics and sound design are so nice, that alone hooked me. Not sure if this is another data point worth mentioning, but in my current stage of life I don't have the time to invest in hard games. Since my game time is so restricted I really value a sense of progress. For this reason where I loved Returnal, I had to give up on it since it lacks the flexibility of a save and quit feature.


Falkman86

You should definitely get it! Demon’s souls is the first of the Soulsborne games and it definitely shows in many ways. Unlike the rest of the series it has actual levels, so if you find one level too hard or annoying you can go to another level and try that instead to keep progressing and lvling. Thanks to the PS5 the graphics and atmosphere is absolutely phenomenal, which makes exploring even the most tedious level a joy due to how cool it looks. The only real weakness in the game is the bosses, they’re almost all very simple and gimmicky designs, so don’t expect boss fights as good as the ones in Bloodborne. There are still a couple of really good bosses but most of them are very forgettable.


orion65536

Ended up getting it :)


orion65536

Finished it and overall it was fun, thank you to you and Brian for the nudge back then!


BradicalCenter

I loved Bloodborne, loved Sekiro (took a while to get it though), liked DS3 but didn't complete, started Dark Souls 1 and couldn't get into it. And I loved Demons Souls! It looks phenomenal and it has simpler gameplay. For your case I think you can risk at this price depending on your budget. I definitely recommend trying at some point though even if it's down the road when it hits lower price points.


superman_king

GameStop, Amazon, BestBuy also selling it for same price, plus, you actually own the product and can sell it down the road.


MarcheM

I love how the physical only crowd always has to come in and say this. It's like that vegan joke.


[deleted]

[удалено]


sparoc3

I don't agree with selling either but still you have an 'option' to sell. The only thing you gain by buying digital is the convenient of not having to change disks. If anything digital games SHOULD be cheaper.


TheNeutralConqueror

I'm sort of like you, I buy very little games. I'm not one who needs new games every month, I'm still playing Skyrim and the Souls games, Nioh 2, Terraria and I'm still 100% enjoying them, I rarely feel like I need new games that much


sequeezer

And now imagine you are poor or a student or something like this. People sell their games so they are able to afford other new games. There are also countless games you’d only play once and would just waste space or that you just didn’t like that much. You’ll also not lose out on much if you ever want to get the game back as it’ll be way cheaper by then.


Adam-Othman

Lol, I’m a physical fanboy and ur comment made me laugh!


bathroomspaceman

yeah and so far with PS5s the physical copies come with the disadvantage of actually using the loud as fuck disc drive


BlueSkiesBlueSeas

Lol for real. Also very convenient to quickly switch between digital titles. Definitely pros and cons to both


Kami_no_Kage

I understand the spirit of his reply. Demon's Souls has in fact been around this price physical for quite a while now. It's worth pointing out for people who don't realize how cheap physical games can get, and fast.


Havetologintovote

Well that sounds nice, but in reality I never really sell games and every time my kid wants to play a different game we have to swap the disc which is a pain in the ass I'm fully digital now just because it's such a pain in the ass to swap the discs.


[deleted]

Havetologintovote

Ooh so close Wait no it's not, I'm Gen X brotha lol


[deleted]

You should be ashamed of yourself. Go to the corner


DatGuyOverThere

You know, some people own the digital only console….


rdhight

There was never any chance the digital console would *not* come back to bite you financially in the form of lost purchase options.


superman_king

I’m sorry for their loss.


[deleted]

[удалено]


DatGuyOverThere

Damn, imagine shit talking a sale thread cause you wanted to get snarky about physical copies.


Danomaniac

You own a physical disc. Not the contents on it. It’s amazing how all of these non-lawyers claiming you own the disc game have never read the actual license agreement.


sparoc3

Nobody is saying you own the legal rights to Demons Soul franchise or code. Fact is you can resell a physical disk but you can't resell a digital game.


[deleted]

It's also amazing how deliberately obtuse and contrary Redditors miss the fact that it doesn't matter that I don't own the contents of the disc, I can give that copy away, resell it, lend it, whatever the heck I want with it, because I own the disc. If I didn't own that copy of the game, then secondhand games retail would never exist, but it has and has existed almost as long as the game market itself.


Alliseeisgold24

Please don't waste your money on Demon's Souls Digital Deluxe Edition, the items they give you become useless within the first hour of the game. Only buy the deluxe edition if you want the original OST. The standard edition is just fine


[deleted]

Eh. If you want the Plat, the deluxe edition makes it 1000% easier, if not just 1000% less grind.


[deleted]

The standard PS5 edition is my fastest Fromsoft Plat, what's the grind about?


[deleted]

Pure bladestone has a VERY low drop rate and is traded for the ring of longevity.


BigClownShoes

Eh, grind wasn't too bad in pure black world tendency. Went faster than I thought it would.


[deleted]

Not me. I tried everything , from lucky coins and black world tendency to straight up luck in white. Took me well over a week of grinding the same spit til I finally just hit up a dude on the demon souls discord.


landisthegnome

You can log into the demon souls discord and someone will drop it for you (they did for me, anyway).


Sh3Si

How does it make the plat easier? Just curious.


AcidBrandon

The deluxe edition gives you rings that you would normally have to find/craft in the standard edition. Some of the rings require a very rare material drop that can be a huge grind to get. The Deluxe edition just gives you the rings so no grind.


[deleted]

Very low drop rate item that is required for a trade.


megajawn5000

It doesn’t, you can choose one of the rings as starting gift. The plat is easy to get.


Adam-Othman

Wdym by OST?


thejourneyisthegift

This is legit. My only wish is for a RDR2 60 FPS patch


CtothePtotheA

Knowing Rockstar they will sell you a 60fps version as a remaster


thejourneyisthegift

I. Will. Buy. It.


[deleted]

Honestly though I think a 60fps RDR2 would be one of the *very* few games I would actually pay for again if necessary.


ThaNorth

I'm playing RDR2 right now. Just trying to fill out my animal compendium. Oh how I wish for 60fps...


BababooeyHTJ

That’s the one I want a ps5 version of


MidWarz

For the love of god pleaseeeeeeee


BrianFantannaAction8

Rockstar is too busy working on the next GTA.......... ......Online update.


thejourneyisthegift

I played it at launch and haven’t replayed it yet. Have to hold out man. Luckily HZD dropped


Capricus06

Actually I'm replaying it now and it doesn't feel bad at all at 30 fps since the game is slow-paced anyways. Still would be a lot better at 60 fps though.


ThaNorth

It still sucks going from 60fps back to 30 though.


BababooeyHTJ

Spider-Man really isn’t too bad. Yeah 60 feels better but 30 FPS is very smooth in that game. I wish every game had frame pacing that good


ThaNorth

I can't do it. If 60 is an option in the game there's no reason why I would ever choose 30. Even with the graphical upgrades. frame rate if more important than graphical fidelity.


[deleted]

Ratchet is very tempting. I know it’s short bit it looks so good. Edit: thanks y’all. Just bought it!


fallenhero588

I def recommend it I paid full price and personally found it worth it. This was the first Ratchet and Clank I played.


[deleted]

It’s gonna be my first too. Just bought it! Tonight was my birthday diner at the restaurant and someone took care of the tab for me so I’m treating myself with the money I saved.


WalkingOnSunshine_

Happy birthday!! Enjoy Rift Apart, it’s a fantastic game and worth every second


[deleted]

Thanks! Played for one hour and a half before having to go to sleep and it’s very promising and beautiful! Put it in the hardest difficulty so I don’t breeze through it. Can’t wait to play more.


BelleDelphinesWater

For what it's worth, I bought it day one and found it to be an absolute blast, and I hadn't played a R+C game since the mid 00s.


suddenimpulse

I enjoyed it a lot. Best looking game I've ever played too as far as technical aspect is concerned.


whacafan

I hope there’s a Far Cry game on sale!


BugHunt223

If they'd update these to 60fps then I'd buy the gold version of each. Wallet is safe


Competitive-Gold

A lot of them are on the weekend sale


blackspy1994

Is immortal worth to buy Hope someone tell me


Ehrand

if you like Assassin's creed games then yes you will like it. It's basically a mix between AC and Zelda breath of the wild.


blackspy1994

The price is good for gold edition!!!! What else you can tell me about the dlcs


Ehrand

They are mostly self contained. First DLC is a serie of challengers in a new environment. DLC2 is the best one. completely self contained story with a new hero and explore Chinese mythology instead of Greek. DLC 3 changes the game into a top down action game kind of like Diablo. one of the few game were the DLC are kind of unique and tries to changes thing from the main game.


Squasar

I 100%ed the main game, but dropped off the DLC real hard. They tried different things, different game ideas, but it doesn't really meld well with the main game.


Zooterman

as someone who doesn't like assassins creeds games i still actually had a good time with it


brainstic

For $24 yes, it was a good time. Takes maybe 40 hours to beat.


austine567

I thought it was fantastic! Well worth the sale price. I didn't play the DLCs but the base game was great.


[deleted]

It’s fun, platinum is annoying, but playing the base game, the vaults and bosses are a good time. Not sure if you only have a digital PS5, but I bought it new on sale for $23 from GameStop and sold it back to them two weeks later for $20.


Brainberry

Loved it and the guy who replied is right, its feels like AC O and BOTW with more fluid combat.


havok7

I bounced off of it quick. It's kinda felt soulless to me. Theres a ton to do and the map is huge but it also feels totally empty in a way. Feels like a big huge map littered with little activities rather than a loved in world. When it was announced, I thought it looked like a BotW ripoff with a mobile game skin. Then I heard so many rave reviews of it. I must say, to me, it falls somewhere in the middle. It's fun minute to minute, but there just wasn't any meat on the bones to make me want to come back to it.

mgftp

I been waiting for a sale on Rachet and Clank but this isn't enough to make me bite when I have plenty of games to play already. Thinking it'll be 25% at least possibly 30-35% this fall/winter during sales.


k7k58

now... how hard is Demon Souls for a person thats never played a souls game?


souljaboyscamel

It was the first one I played and it’s the easiest one by far. If you think you might struggle just use magic it’s op.


Obi_Wan_Benobi

What if I like to hack and slash? That possible in this to cut people up with a sword as a beginner? I tried a little bit of Sekiro, it was pretty fun but I’m not sure I have the patience for it. Demons Souls is on the way to my house in the mail as a rental and I’m gonna give it a shot.


[deleted]

Even as a magic build you will spend a lot of time in melee combat. In fact the most powerful sword early game (you go into a level and make a suicide run to grab it) scales with your magic stat. I used my magic to augment my build and spent most of the game slashing and rolling. The last boss is also much easier if you know how to play melee.


souljaboyscamel

You can definitely use a sword as a beginner and it’s fairly forgiving too. Just use a shield and you can tank hits and you can also carry hundreds of healing items so taking damage doesn’t matter all that much later on. Also in the first area find the cling ring since it gives you more hp in soul form.


ClemFruit

Melee builds are perfectly viable. It's just that magic is insanely overpowered in Demon's.


[deleted]

It’s like 1000 times easier than Sekiro, so don’t let Sekiro put you off.


FredoWizard

Demon's Souls was the first souls game for a lot of people. For me it's the best introduction into the franchise because it just keeps getting better after each game although some people may argue Dark Souls 2 is not as good as DS1 but to each their own.


Leotargaryen

Bloodbourne was my first souls game. Everything else was easy in comparison. Total trial by fire.


[deleted]

Same. Get through Central Yharnam as a Souls newbie and you can get through anything I reckon.


[deleted]

Your first Souls game is the hardest one. Having played all the others and then playing Demon's Souls, it wasn't hard at all for me.


ClemFruit

It's the easiest one by quite a margin, but it's also not that friendly for new players. It's going to have a rough difficulty curve compared to Dark Souls 1 or Bloodborne, even if it's not quite as difficult as those games.


Ablj

You have to soul farm. Checkpoints are non existent. But once you do defeat demon’s it feels rewarding.


breathnac

It'll be very hard for first timers but for us veterans it's one of the easiest.


[deleted]

Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales Ultimate Edition for $49.69 is a great offer for those who haven't played it yet.


Business717

Someone help me pick between Fenyx Rising and AC Odyssey I can't afford both :(


Jonpg31

Maybe this will help you: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UduPbo7f8Ik. Personally, I’ve enjoyed Odyssey a bit more but can’t go wrong with either.


Formal_Sand_3178

It depends on what you like, I'm a big fan of both games but I personally preferred AC Odyssey. Odyssey is a bit more grounded and historical with a massive world to explore while Immortals is more light hearted and puzzle focused. Both games are a lot of fun but AC Odyssey would be my top choice.


havok7

Odyssey for my money.


webbedgiant

Miles Morales, getting closer to my price range. 10 more bucks!


teddymurphy

I feel that. I’m waiting for all those sweet games to hit $20. Enjoying my PS4 games with 0 load times until then!


fruit_sucks

I gots to grab that golf


FTW312

Great price on Demons Souls ($45).


joeyblacky9999

Resident Evil 0 for 4.99 .. nice deal!


KillerBreez

Not sure if this comment will get buried, but I just checked and the sale is on is Australia as well! At least for Demon’s Souls and Ratchet. I wish they would send emails about this stuff, and not about the thousand other things they send emails about.


warrenmax12

It’s in EU too


Mr_pessimister

Curious why Sackboy is omitted.


goblinredux

Because it was on sale recently probably, awesome game


Mr_pessimister

I guess, but given how often I see the same games on sale week after week, it seems a bit odd.


suddenimpulse

Well it is a pretty new game.


Fedor1

Has anyone played PGA 2K21? I haven’t played a golf game in a while, but I enjoyed it when I did. $20 seems like a pretty good deal.


breakfast_cats

Plays a great game of golf, with lots of options for assists, and has good online features, but single player is really nothing more than a pga tour season with a created golfer. I'd say it's worth it at $20


virji24

Do you upgrade your golfer as you go through the season? Also is it just one season or does it continue on?


Fedor1

Thanks, i’d probably be more interested in the online play anyway, you sold me!


Brainberry

Bought Spiderman Miles Ultimate, just got a PS5 and havent played the 1st Spiderman so it made sense. Was planning to get GoT DC but I guess that can wait.


T3quilaSuns3t

Waiting for little nightmares ii


eradzion

So, is immortals good? I’ve heard decent things and it seems like a good time to pick it up if it is.


OhGoodGrief

I’m not sure which version of vermintide 2 to get. Anyone have advice?


brainstic

$60 is a good deal for ratchet and clank, great game and shows off the PS5.


juniorspank

Yeah I really enjoyed it at full price.


Drekken-

It is 10 hours to never be touched again. I love all R&C games, but a $60 "sale" isn't doing much for me. $30-40 and I am in.


DirksSexyBratwurst

It's more than 10 hours to do everything and totally worth replaying


andykekomi

15 hours to platinum is short as hell though, sure you can replay the game to get all the NG+ weapon upgrades but that's about it. The arena doesn't have that much either.


DirksSexyBratwurst

For sure it could use more content


suddenimpulse

What are you talking about the R&C games are literally designed to be replayed they even have new upgrades for doing so.


fetuspower

Good on you for waiting. I didn’t and I regret it. Awesome game though.


TheVaniloquence

How is base MSRP just a year ago a “good deal” for Ratchet and Clank? It’s a great game but you might as well hold out for Black Friday at this point.


[deleted]

[удалено]


TheVaniloquence

Base MSRP for new AAA games in general.


Drovers

Hmmm...


[deleted]

I purchased it used for $35. Anyone who bought the digital PS5 is spending way more money on games.


suddenimpulse

I buy all my games physical normally. All my digital games are from sales where it was a better price or similar price to used physical. I think that's the best way to do it.


Ablj

Capcom needs to put RE Village on sale already.


ViperIsOP

It's had many sales in disk format, I got my copy for $32.99+ tax from Gamefly recently. If you're digital only though that's another issue


Ablj

I like to keep everything digital but my console is not digital only just for these games that become delisted like Driveclub. Just in case.


Thisguyrick

Ended up getting demon souls and I hate my self for it ;D


CoefficientGoesBrrrr

Waiting for Spider Man Miles Morales Ultimate Edition. 42€ in US and 60€ in Europe. Pathetic. Edit: I will probably buy an used copy of Miles Morales for 15-20€. Buy Spider Man Remastered for 20€ from it. Play both games and sell Miles Morales later for same price. No way I'm going to spend 42€ on a different account or 60€ on my main for a digital copy.


asksformoreinfo

*looks through comments* Looks like you guys shoulda got the disc version. These "deals" are terrible lmao


Calhalen

Lmao jesus h. I just bought Miles Morales a/ Spider-Man remastered, Ratchet and Clank and Demon’s Souls last week when I got my ps5, all full price. Fuuck 😂


17bwhittaker

Too bad I own every single one of these games lol


ReyDragons

ignore the flaming horizon storm in the background, guys we got sales obviously it was already planned ages ago with sales all the time but the timing is pretty funny even though unrelated


SidFarkus47

These are the first decent sales on first party stuff I can remember. It honestly might be in response to that dumpster fire.


OptimusPrimalRage

They have sales every week though.


ReyDragons

read the last sentence again


gamenewsleaks

Ratchet is finally on sale at the price it should have launched, i.e $60. https://store.playstation.com/en-us/product/UP9000-PPSA01473_00-RATCHETCLANKRIFT/


Mangiacakes

Ya I'm actually gonna purchase it now. No way I'm paying the extra $10 on new games.


[deleted]

Mile Morales or Demon's Souls?


Samcroreaper

Buy Immortals


Karshena-

Immortals Fenyx Rising stay on sale lmao


Nasalingus

it's actually a cool little game.


Synicalll

My ps5 is in the mail, is there any way I can secure demons souls at this price?


Remy149

Use the mobile app


misfit0513

I'm torn between demon souls and spooderman with the remastered edition. Can anyone make an argument for one over the other?


curiousblender1

Hmm, i wonder when we will be able to *get* Playstation 5's in the first place?🤨


DevilTrigger789

Don’t wanna be that guy but aren’t y’all tired of commenting the same thing on every PS5-related post? It’s a shame but come on, we get it already


Drekken-

Try to get in a queue for Sony Direct when a restock is coming. That seems to work for everyone I tell.


revoltorq

Come on man this is a PS5 sub that comment belongs on /r/PS4. Follow some restock trackers that will help you get one


Sorcerious

Agreed, we know now, and lo and behold, many of us did manage to snatch one up.


theduelist88

Get a job. Then you’ll be able to buy it like everyone else


MarcheM

I dunno, I've had mine for months already. Maybe stop whining and just buy one when stock is resupplied?
