Popular Post ShadowReplicant Posted July 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 1, 2021 $29.99 USD to upgrade from OG PS4 to DC PS5? What the hell happened, did they resurrect Akira Kurosawa to direct this? I'm not sure I want to pay $10 for vibrating triggers. The PS4 version already runs at 60 fps in backwards compatibility mode with super fast load times. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomFear94 Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Disappointed it doesn’t appear to be a standalone expansion. Would have preferred that to have been the case…oh well! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NMErickson Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 16 minutes ago, yowzagabowza said: I never have and never will pay $20 for dlc. These bullshit director's cuts need to die immediately. $10 to upgrade when almost every other game does it for free? Total bullshit. They really expect early adopters to have paid $90 to get the full version on PS5 : ( Maybe I’m in the minority but I think the pricing is fair considering their DLC practice so far. We have only had an $11 Deluxe Edition upgrade and a free Legends mode. No Season Pass or nickel and diming. I wouldn’t count deluxe edition as paid DLC (a lot of games have D.E.’s) so this would be the first paid DLC and it’s a big one. Now if they keep adding more paid DLC we’ll have a different conversation. $20 for a DLC expansion then $10 more if you want the full experience on PS5 also doesn’t seem unfair.

If you have the PS4 game then it is 30 bucks to get the DC on PS5 Neither look to be slaps in the face for "early adopters". Maybe it's your opinion, but the facts are pretty clear, most AAA is offering upgrades for free. Let this sink in, EA is offering next-gen upgrades for free, and Sony is not. People complaining about the DLC are wrong tho, that we can agree on. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have just done free PS4 to PS5 upgrade, then if you want the expansion/DLC, pay $20/£16, exactly like what FF7 Remake did. That was a fair price for the amount of content But charging for upgrades on top of charging for upgrades, sorry but no. You both swung and hit a home run with your comments. It’s ridiculous.

You're the one acting offended and treating these facts as personal attacks. Also, if you need to say " "most" does X" then you prove that "X" isn't done the same way by everone. So you shouldn't expect "X" to be done the same way all the time. Logically speaking. Edited July 1, 2021 by TJ_Solo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that you cannot buy the DLC alone without the need for purchasing the DC first (which is for the most part the same game I already own) is concerning, both for Sony's practices and for the dlc itself being very short and not completely worth to stand on its own to be charged a price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeman223 Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 (edited) 12 minutes ago, emptyshelf said: Yes, it's $19.99. The DLC is included with the Directors PS4/PS5 version. So, if you own the game on PS4 and just want the DLC, you'll need to pay the $19.99. This seems a little odd. I suppose if it's a good length expansion, like 16-18, hours then it's fine. Aw, I've just remembered that I un-installed GOT after playing enough Legends Mode. Edited July 1, 2021 by bikeman223 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly, it's my opinion that it is. I haven't even bought the game so I am incapable of feeling offended, if anything I'm just happy I waited because it is a bad upgrade policy. For comparison sake, look at FF7R. It also had a $20 dollar DLC, which was quite fair, but offered a free upgrade to PS5 players. Sony is making a bad move.

Cerber108 Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Ok, so if I want to play base and dlc on PS4 first, and then all of it again on PS5, then I am screwed. Why the hell they like complicating things that much. I'll probably buy DC on PS4, but won't upgrade it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will just cost $10 to upgrade your PS4 director's cut to a PS5 director's cut. Yeah I would rather just pay a lower price for the DLC part, but eh. I never did a New Game Plus run, so this is a good opportunity to do it. The Japanese lip-sync is a nice bonus. However I'm a stingy Canadian and I must stay true to my "wait for sales" oath.

Logically speaking, a company should do what works for that company. That doesn't automatically mean following what other companies are doing. It is a case-by-case matter not a sweeping generalization to how all plans will go. I haven't seen "happy customer" count on any finicial report. It is a nice idea that looks pretty on social media. Another good thing to keep in mind is that having "happy customers" doesn't mean YOU will be happy with everything that happens all the time. So making everyone "happy" is an unobtainable goal. Me saying that your opinion is an opinion is not an opinion. The words you used to express yourself come across as being offended. You even used hyperbole for the post. So please stop twisting things around. Sony isn't SE nor are they EA. They aren't obligated to make and sell games with the same plans. You are not being reasonable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Play3GianniGreed Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 So basically, this is like a complete edition / game of the year edition? I haven't bought the original game yet, so if I buy this I will get original game plus dlc? Sorry for the question but this director's cut thing isn't very clear.

EverythingOnFire Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Glad I held off on buying this. It's at the top of my want-list, but yeah, haven't grabbed it yet for various reasons. Can anyone please give their thoughts on how this game runs on the base/vanilla PS4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have preferred that to have been the case…oh well! I'm right there with you. Was hoping for a Miles Morales-like release. Bundle with the original game, but stands on it's own. As I'm still holding on to my 100%, 30 hours of co-op/online mode sounds a bit daunting. Though, I thought I heard somewhere they are adding to the Legends DLC, maybe that will make it not as much of a grind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case, I hope they won't add Iki island DLC trophies in a base game trophy list. I guess, that would be fair enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boorish Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Any idea if the DLC will be available with the physical copy? Or will it be a code and you'll need to download it digitally? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steel6burgh Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 all i need to know is how to keep my 100% for the ps4. The game looked great and played great on the ps4 pro don't need to upgrade and buy the game again. Just want my 100%. Getting to be a trend having to pay unexpected money to keep a 100% which is teaching me to buy games several years after release for cheap. I didn't have a big backlog of games until recently so i think this will be a the trend for me going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Adilya Posted July 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 1, 2021 I can't believe how many people are whining over them charging money for a DLC upgrade. Did you forget all the good things they did for free over the last year? Free PS5 patch that offered 60FPS right as the PS5 came out, free extremely fun multiplayer with multiple modes and actual raids and absolutely ZERO microtransactions. Then they ask money for a big new content drop and they're a bunch of money-hungry scammers? How can you be so entitled? If you don't feel like it's worth it, don't buy it, but don't drag a company who's done nothing but give for the past year through the mud for trying to earn a living. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pumpkin Head Cthulhu Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 So this is basically a GotY edition? If so then hopefully there will be a disc edition with everything on the disc. This is why I wait to get games, I would rather get a complete edition on disc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
