SnowxSakura Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2017/11/13/activision-39-s-deadpool-getting-delisted-again.aspx "Activision's Deadpool game has had an odd history that just sort of keeps getting dumber. The game originally released in June 2013 to less than stellar reviews. Due to licensing issues, the game was subsequently delisted from digital distribution services in January 2014, six months after release. Following the success of the Deadpool movie, Activision relicensed the existing title and remastered it for PlayStation 4 and Xbox one, relisting on digital services on November 2015. Now, two years later, the game is getting delisted again. On November 16, the game will disappear from services for what one assumes is the final time. This two year stretch since the last relisting has been the longest stretch of time the game has been available. If you are eager to own Deadpool digitally, and I have no idea why you would be, you have until this Thursday to do so and the rest of your life to regret that decision."

Leenewbe Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 (edited) again, that probably explains the £5 price tag in the sales. Edited November 14, 2017 by Leenewbe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
direct-harvest0 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 So if my little brother owns this game physically can he still earn trophies once they shitcan it? Also when I watched him play I was laughing at the humor the game brought so "regretting my life decision to buy the game" for him isn't there, because we both enjoyed it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leenewbe Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 yes, doesn't effect trophies just will no longer be available to be bought digitally @AydenBonnette 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can still earn trophies in it, even the digital version you would still be able to earn trophies. You just can't purchase it digitally from the store. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NetEntity Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 ...okay then, will be snatching it from Steam and PSN (PS4 version for complete package and future trophy insurance), just to be extra safe. Praise be to the extreme discounts. First Alan Wake, now the Merc- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSXtreme_ Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Not only was it supposed to be delisted back in 2014, all unsold physical copies were "supposed" to be recalled and returned by retailers. Of course that never happened. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sale didn't end, Deadpool is still only £4.49 for PS+ members if anybody in EU doesn't have it yet and still wants to pick it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Kittens Are Awesome Posted November 14, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted November 14, 2017 I played a bit of the ps3 version on my other ps3. It seemed fun. Not sure why the hate.

Maxie_M0us3 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 (edited) How dare they to remove digitally the game with the best Platinum name ever?!?! ? ..... I mean, come on... “You Can Sell the Game Now” .... Cannot be that revelant! Anyway, as I already told, licensing stuff are always doomed to be gone at some point... Let the games live forever!

Lordguwa Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 i bought the ps3 version, though guess i will have to take note of the delisting and put it on my need to buy list. there's a couple others on the ps4 i need to get (spiderman 2 and this game listed). ps3 is taking the priority right now i gotta get something toward the end of the month it's already pre-decided.

TazDevilz1986 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Well time to buy the game than for the sale price of 5€ euro's. I don't really want to get the disc version later on because it might get rare later on and they probably put 60 to 80 you never know. Thanks for the warning though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This article reeks of bias. There is no question whatsoever that a 65% rating is "less than stellar". In fact, I would guess that in all of history, no one has referred to a grade/rating of 65% as "stellar", though it is funny to think that it has: KID: Hey dad - I got a 65% on my math test!

It's not even 65 on metacritic, it's 60. That's absolutely "less than stellar" no matter how you look at it. Stellar means outstanding or superb, and the scores this game got are pretty unremarkable. Take into account that most major reviewers tend to grade games on the educational system scale where a 60 is equivalent to a D- and it looks even worse. How in the world is it biased to point out that every professional review for the game was mixed at best when that's 100% the truth? Every single review for the PS4 version is listed under mixed and all of the reviews say that the game is very flawed. The guy writing the article is only pointing out the universal opinion of the critics who wrote about the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sucks the merc with the mouth is being silenced though digital media. I loved the game when I played through it on my ps3. Never really wanted it on my ps4 though.. Might have to snag it before it's gone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordzeze Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 (edited) I got the PS4 version when it went on sale a couple of weeks ago. Should have gotten the PS3 version as well. Duck Dynasty, another Activision game, was also delisted yesterday. Glad I got it on Sunday for cheap even though I probably would never play it (but easy trophies right lol).
