I have to say it's a concerning trend though. I don't mind microtransations IF they're kept purely to bells & whistles like a nice new hat for your character, a slightly faster horse, or whatever... but honestly when games go down this route there's always the risk of two things happening. 1) the storyline goes out the window and the games become about grinding... and 2) They end up making the game unreasonably difficult or unplayable without microtransactions. Valhalla for example lets you purchase resources for crafting/upgrading so that you don't have to spend ages collecting them yourself. Game companies can very quickly fall into the trap of making it take FOREVER to gather enough resources for an upgrade you want, leaving you tempted to drop the £3 on a "resource pack"... EA went down this route hard and it did NOT end well for them in Western markets. Free-to-play model is more popular in Asian markets. So again hoping they don't wreck their "main" franchises with this. |

Resources were pretty scarce in Valhalla (there's practically no silver or titanium about), but fortunately you can always rely on Ubi to throw a bit of incompetence in the mix and a quick google shows how to farm unlimited resources, so if they tighten up that side of their games, then we're screwed!

If they go to hard on it it's surely going to be temporary... EA learned the hard way that people don't like it and have scaled back massively in most titles, especially anything "story driven". But the damage to their reputation runs deep. The thing is it CAN be done without too much disruption. Even Fortnight is a good example - the game plays exactly the same for everyone, but people WILL drop money on skins and decorations. FarCry has also been fine in the past, usually just weapon skins and maybe some slightly more powerful guns, but nothing game-altering... Like I said I don't really mind them experimenting with the format in some games but I hope (probably overly-optimistically) that they try to leave their "main" franchises alone . |

Nice keep hold of the PS3 tho since if you ever fancy playing the older games again you always have it ready to come back to.
I’d also recommend an extended storage since some games take up a lot of gb (glares at COD Cold War)

i got 500 GB only thing which i need to get used to the way to insert discs, very different than with ps3, but i guess easier to no longer hold my tv provider mediabox (that one is on top of the console, i do love how this one is smaller than previous one) so far i've installed, and had first beginnings with FIFA 21, Life is Strange, Telltale TWD definitive series and of course the system update first of all which is also important

I had the PS3 Super Slim and it had the bit that slides open to put the disc in which was kinda nostalgic, it reminded me of my PS1 days Glad to know the install has gone well tho, also keep an eye out on the PS Store Nicky since there’s always deals on games to buy and some of them are really cheap
