Isn’t Balan an awful game?

Anyhow, I visited my local supermarket today and spotted something on sale...

So now I have two games... but no console .

...no! . It's a decent 3D platformer. The internet opinon train paints it as "the worst game ever" but it's fun. The new Play magazine awarded it a [7].

Hmm. I’ll pick it up when it’s cheap digitally.

I would have sold you that cheap Jawa!

BUY MY GAMES YOU BASTARDS

Soz, Ad . I know you had it up for twenty wraps - a fair price! - but I got it for twenty notes just down the road. It was an impulse buy!

>>> Buy VM's games! <<<

No.

I'd recommend watching a few vids and checking it's gonna meet your tastes before getting it, Wedgie. I suspect that most folk wouldn't be too crazy about it; it's kinda like a Saturn 3D platformer given a fresh lick of paint with a ton of weirdness added in. I like it .

I like platformers, and I miss playing that genre. The new Ratchet and Clank has awaken that fever!

Seriously, I would have done it cheaper, same goes for the other games I'm selling.

Just think how cheap these games will be by the time you get a PS5.

I may just wait until they release a pro version!

Had a look for the new Xbox Series X and it's the same story!

Bizarre!

Amazon UK had stock as of a few minutes ago. It had been up for at least 11 minutes after Deals Foundry posted about it on Twitter.

*Checks Metacritic*

51% on PS5 and 35% on Switch...

Jawa, don't you have Balan on PS4? it has a free PS5 upgrade....

Immortals is awesome though.

I haven't bought a physical game in over 8years!

Yeah, I have Balan on Switch, PS4 and PS5 . There was a mix-up with my order and Amazon sent me the PS5 version in error. I re-ordered a copy of the PS4 version and ended up not returning the PS5 version. It'll be the first game I load up if/when I eventually get a PS5!

On PS4, Balan was the first disc game I'd bought in five years; 90% of my collection is digital. For PS5 games I anticipate (and am already!) returning to discs, mainly because digital game prices on PS5 are - imho! - often ridiculous. If I get a PS5 I definitely don't expect to be buying games at launch.

It's an expensive hobby alright and I went a bit nuts at the Series X launch but this year, I think Battlefield 2042 will be the only full price game I'll be buying, that sub service thingy on that other console is more than enough for everything else.

Haven’t set mine up yet, gonna figure out how to move saves onto the cloud. I’ve also forgot my PSN password.

Also, make sure to restore all licenses too.

I didn't do this but I've had no problems downloading my library onto PS5.

Same, which is why I asked what it meant.

yep same for me, maybe he was referring to the save files? I remember having some issues with some games not carrying save files over which was a bit odd

You did it Buff!
