Amazon is listing a new "GTA V Premium Edition" (https://www.resetera.com/threads/amazon-germany-lists-upcoming-gta-v-premium-edition-for-ps4.24302/)

Maybe we'll finally get that PS4 Pro/Xbonx patch? (Haha, no)

It's probably just a bundle that outright gives you a good car and apartment for Online instead of a Shark Card or whatever.

More likely just the general season-pass-on-the-disc GOTY release.

Rockstar are dangerously close to reaching Valve-levels of never needing to make a game again. GTAV sold so much and made so much from micro transactions that I'm surprised they even bothered to make RDR2. Wouldn't be surprised if that's their last big game for a long time.

They probably were already working on it when GTAV was released.

There's absolutely no chance RDR2 won't have a similar online model and it's gonna make a lot of nerds rage.

That’s a very cynical view of their desire to create games.

There isn't a season pass for GTA 5. The only thing to buy besides the game is shark cards.

Didn't that get old extremely quick? It bothered me after watching like 10 minutes of it.

No guys, the dude trying to shitpost about the best PS4 game and contender for Top 10 GOAT is probably owning us and not himself by refusing to play it based on 10 minutes of speedrunning footage. Clearly we are the losers.

Shadow of War has shown me that there really isn't a way to incorporate lootboxes into a singleplayer game without pretty much ruining it, so unless it's 100% cordoned off from single-player and only affects multi im gonna wait. Then again, I was always gonna buy this game for the single player campaign and never touch the MP... either way ill need to wait a week and see how it shakes out.

Lol, calm down dude. I only said that from what I've seen about Bloodborne so far, the aesthetic and look of the game isn't appealing to me. I'm not trying to 'own' anyone, I'm not 12 years old.
And this is the last thing I'll say about this because it's ridiculous. I don't like thing, who cares?

I love you guys and respect your tastes but holy poo poo I’m glad I’m not like that. Fantasy/horror/spooky dreary gloomy environments are the best. So cozy.

I just booted the game up since I’ve got about an hour before taking my pup to the vet. Might be able to knock if the cleric beast!

The messengers scared the poo poo out of me when the dream loaded. Nice.

I love it too but it can be somewhat exhausting. Like in the Witcher 3, when I was finally able to get to Toussaint it was a breath of fresh air from all the death and war.

E: getting to anor londo is another example.

I'm not sure what makes Hollow Knight stand out among the other 300 Metroidvanias released last year.

The latest I finished are Iconoclasts (bigger focus on story) and Guacamelee (fun coop).

Well-developed aesthetics (even if the flat shading on everything does look a little retro the art is entirely hand-drawn, by one person, and includes a large variety of locales and scenery effects), combat that's difficult without being distracting, does Dark Souls-esque LORE almost as well as the Souls games themselves, and, crucially, constant and substantial DLC updates that are all provided free of charge.

It's a hugely ambitious and generous game that took a lot of people by surprise.
