Honestly, this is the reason I didn't jump into the game until it was on sale. By the time I started it, though, I bought the "All In-game Rewards Unlock". This gives you an infinite rocket launcher that will stun the tyrant whenever you want. Then you can put it away and play the game the way you want to play. I know it's like a band-aid on a huge wound, but it helped me get through the Mr. X parts. Hope this helps.
@ll_exile_ll: Now I am just plain excited. I loved Roller Coater Tycoon back in the day, and this seems a good return for me after all these years. Thanks again for the info!
I have had my eye on the PS5 version of Planet Coaster since it came out, but I can't tell if using a controller is a proper way to experience this game (I am not a PC player). Has anyone given it a go? Is it worth it now that it's on sale($35)?
@bajiboxer: That's interesting. I also thought about that. I feel like I played past Show games (havent bought one since the Cubs won the WS in 2016) for about 6-8weeks, so the $70 price tag is way too high for me.
I think the issue with Sony adapting a better/newer lineup for PS Now is that Sony doesn't create too many games that have micro-transactions that could help curve the money "lost" by adding a new game to the service rather than selling it at a premium price (especially at the $5 a month price). Most of the PS exclusives are single player narrative games that can be beaten in a couple of weeks, and wouldn't keep most people playing past the first go through.
@shindig: You could also say "Why don't they just charge $30 for the game on all systems, and that way, they can sell more copies and more people can play?" I agree completely that having the game on both consoles is not a bad thing at all. I would LOVE to pay $15 a month for Game Pass on my PS5 to play a couple of games, but it's not happening. MLB the Show '21 was going to be $70 on both platforms, but now Game Pass members can play it for no extra cost, and now the price of $70 seems too high in comparison.
Separate question here.....If the MLB was the deciding factor in putting it on Game Pass (since they are the publisher on the XB), does that mean they also get the micro-transaction money when people buy the "stubs"? Where does that money normally go? Developers or publishers, or a percentage of both?
@big_denim:I meant to say that it's nothing but bad for Sony. This is blowing up in the gaming forums, and rightfully so. I feel like Sony needs to do something to help keep this under control (even offering the game at discount).
@bigsocrates: I haven't bought the Show in years (and I am a baseball fan), but I know if I had it pre-ordered, I would cancel in the hopes that Sony will have it cheap quickly since it's "free" on the other system. I know the game is the same, and it doesn't change the quality, but the value of the product goes down considerably when I would pay $70 for a PS5 game that I would play for two-ish months, when I could pay less than half that for the game on the other console for that same time, and get all of the other GP games as well.
It looks like the game is listed as being published by MLB on the XB version, so it would be SUPER crazy if they paid MLB for the GP inclusion rather than Sony. I really feel like this is bad for them in the PR stand point.
