What's going on with all the $21.99 games on the store? It's like they snuck a 10% price hike on our $20 games recently.

IS there a way to bulk add the playstation collection games on extra to your account? I doubt I will play most of these games, but I’ve been on plus since before I had a PS3 to build up a library and dammit if I didn’t find some gems that were great in the hundreds and hundreds of games I have hoarded in that service.

No you can only do them one at a time, fastest way is probably to do it from a computer so you can just open all the store pages in tabs then click your way through

Tbh I wasn't sold on the diablo 4 beta. I'm still buying it cuz diablo is one of the few games that fridgelina and I can play together and not end up getting frustrated with each other lol. Maybe cuz i was playing a wearbear druid and it was kinda boring tbh

Might choose a different class when the full version comes out

I hadn't played any FO games prior and I thought it was fine, absent the absolutely stupid main plot. Building settlements, doing sidequests, and exploring was a lot of fun for me. YMMV, of course.

It was cause you made a druid, yeah. There is another open beta test coming up, recommended you play any of the other classes this time if you're able! The Druid needs a massive overhaul and Blizzard acknowledges it, the class was useless in the previous beta.

I mean, you know what you're getting already, it's up to you whether or not that sounds like fun. It's Another Bethesda Open World RPG. It doesn't do anything really unique with the formula and it doesn't offer much in the way of quests that change according to your choices, it's just another 50-100 hours stomping around the wasteland touring post-apocalyptica and shooting mutants with VATS.

That being said, I enjoyed it back on launch and probably sunk 80 hours into it. It's got at least a few memorable characters and a story hook that I found interesting, and while the ending wasn't wholly satisfying, at least it didn't poo poo the bed like Fallout 3 did. If you're looking for more New Vegas except not as well-written, then it's worth a playthrough.

Gotta be a licensed game with delays bc expensive licensing by itself massively increases the cost.

WB own the license so it’s probably not the Harry Potter game unless it was a Hollywood accounting situation where they paid themselves a trillion dollars to license it from themselves for wacky tax/profit hiding reasons

Yeah, I know, a bunch of it is likely informed by corporate graft or money laundering or whatever. And of course even though some of these publishers are still crunching devs to death and outsourcing asset development to countries with no labor protections they will still turn around at some point and say labor is too expensive and that is why we must turn our game into midhourney and chatgpt.

They only own the film rights I think. They probably have to license it from JKR to create anything else.
