Re: PS Plus Essential, Extra, Premium Price Increases Announced by Sony

-Sigma-

I'll catch it on a discount maybe but no thank you. I'm not paying that asking price for Premium nor Extra. I'll try to play and finish whatever game on Premium that I want to play and let it lapse without renewing. I'll think about Essentials but I can't think of any game I play online anymore beside SF6 every once and a while and I don't need to that, im fine just playing offline. Don't play Battlefield anymore other than 4 and I haven't played that in a long time. So even Essential isn't worth it now(for me).

Technically you are getting value here so it's technically worth it but that's more so on whether you out paying for games to begin with. PlayStation wants to be full greed all while providing crumbs on whats on the timeline. PlayStation under Jim Ryan is a wannabe Apple without the premium products to be Apple.

Re: Street Fighter 6 Tops 2 Million Copies Sold, Celebrates with In-Game Rewards

-Sigma-

2 million in a month is high for a fighting game. Very few can accomplish that. Only games like Mortal Kombat, Smash and maybe a few others have in this era. Capcom's goal is to sell 10 million lifetime. Street Fighter 6 is going to be supported for at least 5 more years so it's well on the way to reaching that goal which I have no doubt it will reach.

There won't be different sku like SF4, it will be like SF5 so everybody will be on the same version. But it will be up to you whether you want to buy the dlc. The game offers a lot out of the box in terms of content. Capcom did a really good job this time around.

And yeah, you're not bothering people in this game. At the end of the day, it's about "you" having fun. There's plenty of people to find of your skill level and that will be the case through this game's life cycle. I seen plenty of forever bronze players that just love playing the game in SFV. I don't see that changing in this game. And if you don't want to be bothered with and feel like you'll get harassed by some weirdo, there's options in the game menu to set your profile tag to private and private your online status plus only accept invitations from friends. And you can block people too.

Re: Poll: Are You Playing Street Fighter 6?

-Sigma-

Of course, it's all about Street Fighter 6 for me til Final Fantasy XVI arrives which is GUARANTEED to be another hit this year. So at that point im going to put Street Fighter 6 aside for weeks til I finish Final Fantasy XVI. It's not like Street Fighter 6 is going anywhere since the game will be fully supported by Capcom til like 2028 lol.

Re: Rumour: Naughty Dog's Troubled The Last of Us Multiplayer PS5 Project Was Sniped by Bungie

-Sigma-

Im still a traditionalist when it comes to multiplayer. Sell me the ***** game with a decent amount of maps/unlocks and we'll go from there.

I really hate the fortnite/apex etc etc model. It's why I just play Battlefield 4 still til this day when I want want my multiplayer fix. I hate this balancing act Naughty Dog has to do. And Bungie is having to oversee it and all the other gaas projects. It freaking sucks. It's part of the reason why im not looking forward to any of them despite not even knowing what most are.

Re: Sony Significantly Scales Back Development of The Last of Us Multiplayer for PS5, Says Report

-Sigma-

On Gotham, Sony should be thanking their lucky stars they bought Insomniac. From PlayStation's mvp to PlayStation's best studio. Period.
Untitled

Insomniac got lower back pains from carrying this gen.
Naughty Dog ***** around way too much. Should have moved on to the new IP after TLOU2. Instead they started doing an unnecessary remake and messing around with project that initially failed. Now we are multiple years in and with no time table for anything new from them. Gross.

Re: Feature: PlayStation Showcase Biggest Winners and Losers

-Sigma-

Biggest winner: Capcom. I mean I don't really have to explain why lol. Id put Helldivers behind them because it was a fantastic trailer that even though it's third person now, it still gave me that feeling the first game had and I expect it will have a lot of the same things in the end that made it really fun(and hilarious).

Biggest Loser: I accidently voted FairGame$ but I really meant to vote for PlayStation Studios that of course includes FairGame$. It should be obvious as to why if you watched that showcase expecting to see some good updates on 1st party projects.

Re: Reaction: Sony Flubs First Proper PS5 Presentation in Over 18 Months

-Sigma-

It was poor. If I include all games and just judged based on that, id give it a lot higher score but this is the PlayStation Showcase. You starved us for more than a year and a half. I want to know about the 1st party exclusives. You showed up with 4 live services, NONE showed gameplay. Spider-Man 2 was the lone single player. Helldivers 2 was your co-op. So basically after all this time you show up with Spidey 2 and Helldivers 2. Epic fail.

Re: Poll: Was This Sony's Best PlayStation Showcase Yet?

-Sigma-

Dog ****. 100% a reflection of how devoid of personality Jim and Hermen are. I could only speak up for a few games either because I played the first game or I played the beta of it in some way. Kaz, House, Tretton, Layden and Shu(in his PlayStation jail cell) are rolling over in there beds right now looking at how just unfun a lot of this crap looks.

Re: Some PS Plus Users Puzzled by Game Expiration Glitch

-Sigma-

Encountered this last year. I restarted the game and restored my licenses and it seemed to fix it. Then it started happening again yesterday. I think it resolved itself but then again I may have been done playing the game for the day and not realized it hadn't been resolved. Will turn on the game later to see.

Re: 23 Games Hit PS Plus Extra, Premium Next Week in Big Update

-Sigma-

Ratchet is great for the lineup.

They're not playing with the Syphon Filter games lol. I think they're only missing 1 game at this point.

I have to check my library because I think I already bought Sakuna: Rice of Ruin. I have so many games that I bought but haven't played so I have to be check these lists half the time in games im interested in.

Going to try out Humanity though at some point.

Re: Soapbox: I No Longer Think Subscriptions Like PS Plus, Xbox Game Pass Are the Future of Gaming

-Sigma-

Im on PS Premium and funny enough will likely re-up it come November when time to renew. But the reality is that I rarely ever play PS+ games on it other than PS1/2 classics. And even then i've only played the Syphon Filter game and Hot Shots Golf. It's not that there's not a great selection of games. Quite the opposite, it's just that the games that I actually buy end up taking priority. Something about buying my games makes me want to play them more.

The last game I played on plus was DMC5:SE. I usually just redeem the monthly games and go back to what I was playing. Sometimes I'll download a game on Premium with the intent to play it soon after I finish the current game im playing only to not play it and play another game that I actually bought whether it's new or in my backlog.

Re: Microsoft Dealt Major Blow as UK Blocks Activision Buyout

-Sigma-

@Acquiescence Agreed although i'm still in the belief that this deal will eventually go through somehow. MS been trying to play the little guy role when they're not and have plenty of resources at there disposal to get where they want to go but instead want to take the easy/lazy route because of their own incompetency over the years. They shouldn't be rewarded for that.

Re: Free-to-Play Shooter The Finals Is Blowing Up in PC Closed Beta Test, In Development for PS5

-Sigma-

Looks cool. Like I said before, im going to try it out based on the who the studio is. I'm more excited interested in/excited about Arc Raiders though. Having said this, these titles will face the same uphill battle other titles have faced with me because they're free to play. I don't play nor like any of them currently.

I tend to not like what im given as base before paying nor the monetization of them and non of them gameplay wise has been good enough for me to tolerate it. When someone announces a game and says it's free to play, that's a strike against it automatically in my world. So I'll see if Embark can buck that trend.

Re: The Response to Rocksteady's Suicide Squad Has Been Abysmal

-Sigma-

People saying that they wish that so many publishers would stop chasing this but these publishers have already decided that it's worth it. Even if it means that they would have to let employees go if it flops, even if it means the company goes under. The dream of lining up the CEOs pockets with cash is the name of the game. Those who have shareholders, are definitely pushing for it. So we are going to have a graveyard of developers fail in the end and some will be disband. Playstation's devs aren't immune too.

Re: Poll: Did You Love Sony's Latest State of Play Livestream?

-Sigma-

Destiny 2 Lightfall-no gameplay shown

The PSVR2 stuff, i dunno what to think. It's difficult to judge VR trailers expecially when you don't have one.
Still, nothing stood out.

Humanity- I never have much imagination when it comes to these type of games, so I can't see myself messing around with this. There's a demo so maybe i'll try that out.

Street Fighter 6 trailer- Looks cool. Especially Cammy. The stages all look great.

The Ninja Storm game was basically a collection? They did say you can play some new character. I dunno I likely will skip this one.

Wayfinder-Nah

Suicide Squad- Eh not really impressed with this game so far.

State of Play= Poor

Highlights for me is the SF6 trailer. The State of Play reminded me that I should be trying out Destiny 2 since my friends play it. Im like the last holdout
and I don't even have a shooter to play outside of Battlefield 4.
