​​​@@RasTrey69First of all, it's not a "baby game." The fact that you're calling it that says more about you than it does about Astro's quality as a game. Second of all, some games go beyond 100%. It remains to be seen if Astro is one of those games per my own playthrough. Some games also don't require 100% to get platinum (I have the Platinum in Days Gone despite that I didn't do everything in it)

[@boscotheman82]

Toxic community

[@iortizjunior]

People have lives. Saturdays usually a day to go out or spend time with family or friends ect. Also alot of the cast has their own channels and usually they talk about game news everyday so by the same the spawn cast is live it’s just them repeating the same thing they said in their own video. Also let’s be honest more than have the cast don’t really play new games unless it’s Nintendo and even if they do it usually complain about the game unless it’s Nintendo.

[@nindieboy4194]

They did it like 8 years? The content isn't really less, just DCG and click are away. Both have their reasons apparently. But MVG and Nate are more on the game and talk things on. Especially Nate, who is a perm member of the Nintendo podcast. Same goes with Shawn.

Digital Foundry doesn't have the PS5 Pro system yet. So all their discussions around it are assumptions until it's proven with tests.

[@zgeiselh6797]

Everyone says that presentations never truly show off a game on these compressed KZbin streams, but the second Digital Foundry claims anything on the PS5 Pro it’s suddenly confirmed. I don’t watch their videos, I’m sure they do extremely great work to be mentioned all the time. But I agree like wait until someone has it

[@Maryokutaizero]

I think a pre-recorded video with additional editing etc. like how DF does it is a good idea. It's obviously a loss for those people who like to tune in live, but being from Europe I'm used to watching the recording anyway.

[@Hako_exe]

Doing a prerecorded WEEKLY episode is WAY BETTER!!! It felt pointless like a monthly podcast episode. I'm glad to see this compromise because it feels like Jon wants a large cast week to week. Which is fine but we are here regardless.

The last times there are strategy trends. In industries where one company has no competition and monopole. To announce a new product very high image and high price (100-200 usd above the initial real price). A backlash bad buzz happen…. Few weeks later the company come with a communication: “we heard you and reduce the price 100-150 usd” Then the product is at the price which the company always intended to sell it… But the customers think ohhh now it’s a good price and many units are sold…. I would not be surprised this is a strategy put in place by Sony.

Just came back from Japan. Astro was on display in every electronic and game store with a demo. I personally think the Japanese market does not care for a platformer outside of Mario.

[@ParthPatel-rh1ct]

It might have to do with Sony deprioritizing Japan for Western markets. Especially since the Japanese economy is doing lot worse than NA/Europe though they are in a slow economic recovery. They did not care about raising PS5 prices in Japan while leaving the US prices alone. Also the Switch is portable and cheaper with a lot of Japanese titles.

[@princeofduval810]

Im confused about the stand. I thought the standard PS5 came with a stand that you could unscrew to make it vertical or horizontal.

[@OriginalBoondocksXVIII]

The original PS5 does. The slim-but-not-called-slim models don't, they come with two small clear plastic pieces that you can use to stabilize the system horizontally, but does nothing vertically. PlayStation then introduced a $30 USD stand for vertical usage. I'm guessing the PS5 Pro comes with those horizontal plastic pieces, but it doesn't come with the $30 vertical stand (that part isn't a guess, they said it.)
