I Hate REMASTERS

I Hate PLAYSTATION PLUS

As far as quality, Pikmin 3.  I've always really liked the series, but I never expected the third installment to be as superb as it is.

Regarding sales, Splatoon.



I was surprised at how well Until Dawn sold. Surprised how disappointing the campaign was in vanilla Destiny. Surprised how MGS5 turned out - had someone told me beforehand there'd be very few cinematics, I'd have laughed them off.



Bloodborne, evil within, alien isolations, pt, deception 4

Good surprise = Dragon Age: Inquisition. The 2nd one was so awful that I quit playing after the first day. I played Inquisition from Black Friday 2014 up until The Witcher III: Wild Hunt was released. That's a good 6 or 7 months. Great game!

Bad surprise = PS+. There's no more saying "It's still going, give it time." The fact that I have to play to play games online is the only reason I subscribe. But I think Sony knows this. Genius (and shady) marketing to say the least.
