Both GT7 and EW are on sale right now, and I also gathered enough points in that PlayStation Stars thingy to redeem a $25 gift card, so the grand total for those two games was about the same as I would've paid just for Callisto Protocol alone without any discounts.

Spoiler

Yep, I bought GT7 and Evil West, and I'm pretty happy with my choice. I already played a couple of races in GT7 last night and I'm digging it so far but first I'm gonna play through Evil West, which is also pretty fucking sweet. I held off on it initially because I heard some bad things about it but idk what all the fuss was about. Yeah it can be a bit tough in places but it's a pretty sweet action game regardless. I don't recall any other game in recent memory that would do this particular style of gameplay with an over-the-shoulder camera and equal parts melee and shooting combat. It feel pretty unique and it's fun as hell.

Im going to wait on GT7 until it hits the PS+ Extra catalog.

 

[DeepEnigma]

GT7 is absolute fire!

 

[adamsapple]

Evil West is a 360-ass-360 game, but it is still 'better' than Callisto.

 

[Roxkis_ii]

GT7 is stright heat.

Which is a-ok with me because I loved those games.

It's 30% off I think. Been considering it. But I have no time at the moment anyway.

I'd say wait for a deeper discount or rent as it's strictly SP with not a lot of replay value.

 

[SlimySnake]

How much is GT7?

 

[Drizzlehell]

It's 30% off I think. Been considering it. But I have no time at the moment anyway.

I'm guessing that it's gonna be like 20 bucks in less than 6 months so it's probably for the better.

You wasted your money, should have preordered goodbye volcano high instead.

Clearly, he already has money set aside for that. He's not an idiot.

 

[ungalo]

I bought Callisto instead of Evil West and i regret it.

Around 50 US Canadian Deustchemarks, I reckon.

Nah

 

[Klosshufvud]

GT7 is a game that will last you the whole generation. Sort of like GT Sport, GT5 and GT4. It's a must-have in any PS5 library IMO.

 

[Unknown?]

GT7 and Evil West. Wait for the other game to drop in price.

 

[touchfuzzy]

None of the above, maybe?

 

[ÆMNE22A!C]

That makes me want to actually play this game. But im going to wait until i get my pc to play it there

 

[Kenneth Haight]

GT7 is very good. Not sure how I’m going to get the online trophies which is kind of annoying me but I’ve put a lot of hours in to it this year.

 

[begotten]

Evil West is a lot of fun and even better co-op, you'll also get a lot of hours out of GT7.

Callisto is a 10 hour piece of shit.

 

[Joshmyersbv]

Man the moment GT7 dropped in price I had to get it. Now I'm going through the licenses and I'm stuck on one. There is always one that fucks me.

Got gold in everything up until I hit the S licenses and then realised I have a full time job and a family and it will take dozens of hours to practice. It is very addictive though!

Same! I'm on S license and I'm on the one where your driving the Super Formula Honda at Laguna Seca. It wasn't until after my session I realized I had been playing that section for an hour and 30 minutes. The licenses can be a time sink.

GT7 license courses is the dark souls of racing games.

Yup. GT7 might be the only game i will have permanently instaled on my PS5 untill the end of the gen.

 

[Danteyke223]

People keep saying there is no replay value in Evil West but it actually has a new game plus, and also a mode that unlocks after beating the higher difficulty called True Death, in which when you start a new save file and die your entire progress gets wiped on that slot

 

[Lucifers Beard]

Evil West is a surprise hit for me personally. It’s nothing special but its simplicity is refreshing. I can switch my brain off and beat the shit out of monsters and get more powerful every level.

It’s nowhere near perfect and lacks some polish but is it nice to see in a world full of open world experiences or battle pass bullshit that have no respect for your time.

I haven’t actually tried GT7. Last one I played was 3 back on the PS2.

 

[rofif]

Thank god you made the right choice. Callisto money are better spent blowing your nose into. F that game

 

[Drizzlehell]

Ok, I finished Evil West. Pretty solid game overall. Lots of fun and challenging combat and cool locations and it generally felt like this 7th gen mid-shelf title that I enjoyed so much in the past.

It's a bit janky and the story is so bland that I stopped paying attention about halfway through (but still got the gist of it anyway), but those kinds of flaws are something that I can swallow when it comes to lower budgeted games like this. The gameplay is what matters most here and in that regard it delivers a solid experience.

Although that final boss has got to be one of the most un-fun things I've ever played in my entire life. It's just fucking awful.

 

[Chronicle]

We should just make an 'I bought a game' thread.

 

[Ronin_7]

I wasted 70€ on Callisto, let that sink in

 

[Markio128]

I’ve always though Evil West looked like a fun game. I’ll give it a go at some point.

 

[Hayabusabruh]

Not understanding the Calisto hate. Game was better than both of those RE remakes.

 

[Skifi28]

GT7 license courses is the dark souls of racing games.

They were when the game launched, but after multiple physics/handling updating without changing the times on the tests they're quite easy. I could barely do bronze at launch, but after trying last week I golded all the S licences with barely 2-3 tries per track. For the record, I'm completely average at the game.

 

[decisions]

Not understanding the Calisto hate. Game was better than both of those RE remakes.

Calisto was definitely not better than RE2 Remake, but I still really enjoyed the game as a survival horror fan and thinking back, it probably is better than RE3 Remake.

 

[SCB3]

Good choice, Calisto was my biggest disappointment of the year, its a solid 7/10 game, but I expected so so much more, I actually got bored of it 5 hours in and forced myself to finish it towards the end

Evil West looks great and its one of those games I know will be on Game Pass / PS Plus soon enough so I'll try it there

I am also kinda tempted by GT7, I've not touched GT since 5 I think (I know I skipped 6 but I played Sport at some point) and I am missing that Sim itch a little now that Forza is pretty much going for Horizon (which is fine of course, but a different kinda game)

 

[EverydayBeast]

GT is a MASSIVE series, GT7 felt fresh and was a knock out punch to Forza.

 

[Drizzlehell]

Not understanding the Calisto hate. Game was better than both of those RE remakes.

I can't say for sure until I try it out by myself but from what I saw and heard so far, that melee combat simply looks awful and it's the main thing that keeps me from trying this thing out.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Evil West looks so good to me. I was debating about buying it last night, but ultimately didn’t want to drop $40 on it. Picked up Teardown and Kena Bridge of Spirits instead.

Definitely grabbing Evil West when the price drops further.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Ok, I’m a sucker. I purchased GT7 before it joins the catalog.

 

[GymWolf]

Have fun with evil west, it is a very good old school game.

Leave callisto until it's like 10 dollars.

GT7 is a game that will last you the whole generation. Sort of like GT Sport, GT5 and GT4. It's a must-have in any PS5 library IMO.

Disagree. The game doesn't offer tons of unique content (especially if you've played GTS) and it's not getting tons of new content (mostly new/returning cars and usually only 3 per month). I reckon most players will stop playing once they're done with the career mode which is very short even if you're playing casually. Licences and online racing aren't for everyone.

My expectations for GT7 were much higher since I didn't like the online focus in GTS. The game didn't deliver for me and if I wasn't hunting for the platinum I would've dropped it pretty quickly. I'm hoping the new Forza Motorsport will deliver... so far I've invested at least 100 hours in every new FM game and always had fun.

 

[Roufianos]

Haven't played the other two but GT7 was a blast, and I'm not even big on cars.

 

[FunkMiller]

GT7 was excellent, so good choice.

 

[ShakenG]

Good choice going with GT7.. pretty hard being away from it for 3 weeks. But family time is family time. Cant wait to jump back in.

Too bad Forza Motorsport was delisted, lol.

I hate that they keep doing this shit with Forza games. And maybe it wouldn't be as bad if you could only get the latest one until the next one comes out or whatever, but FM7 came out as late as 20-fucking-17 and it's already not available for purchase. It's ridiculous.
