Re: Just 4% of PS5, PS4 Fans Think PS Plus Premium Represents Good Value for Money

AhmadSumadi

I pay for Premium because my son uses it to its fullest extent. He’s 17 and plays a ton of the retro stuff. We also share my account so I’m essentially paying for 2 accounts in one.

That being said. If you don’t take advantage of what the service offers then yes, you’re wasting your money. I’d have thought all those “I want backward compatibility” people would love having the retro library at their fingertips. I’ve also always suspected that those wanting BC just want it as an option and not necessarily an option they’d actually use.

Also, let’s be honest here. The only reason anyone prefers GamePass is for the day 1 new releases they put on the service. The best parts of the Xbox library are now available on PlayStation. Everyone talks about the vastly superior thing that Game Pass is, but if we start getting day 1 releases on Premium y’all would say it well worth the subscription.

Finally. I’ll admit that I’m not a fan of streaming becoming so popular in gaming. We all see what it’s done to the music and TV industries. Are we ready for every publisher to charge a monthly to access their games? Because Game Pass has been spearheading that possible scenario. The wildest thing is to see those who, in one breath, bemoan not having physical releases of games, then turn around and say how much they love Game Pass. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Re: Just Like the Game, The Last of Us 2's TV Adaptation Is Getting Review Bombed

AhmadSumadi

Not all negative reviews are review bombing. But if you liked the show and have it a 7 or 8, then give it a 1 after Joel died then that’s definitely review bombing!

Like, I’m no fan of first person shooters, but I can play one and give you my valid review. I won’t just turn it on, see it as a first person shooter, and call it a bad game.

For all those who think Pascal dying is valid reason to give the show a bad score then you’ve probably engaged in this idiotic behavior.

I swear, the worst ones at the people who know it’s definitely review bombing and work their hardest to try and shine it up. Do you think this show is a valid “1” rated show? On the levels of some Ewe Boll slop? C’mon now?!

Re: PS5 Pro Is No Longer the Most Expensive Console You Can Buy

AhmadSumadi

It's becoming so hard to be a consumer of anything (even food). They're pricing people out of every aspect of life. For instance, I'm a Bank Manager and I've seen car prices go from the $25k-$35k three years ago to around $45k-65k now. Just had a customer trade in a 2018 vehicle he paid $284 a month for, now his payment on a 2024 is $864. Meanwhile, they're refusing to give anyone a salary increase.

Re: Returnal, One of This Gen's Best Games, Gets a Massive PS5 Pro Upgrade

AhmadSumadi

I've tried to play this a few times and just couldn't get into it. Just nothing caught me and pulled me in. It's not the first, nor second, nor third, game I've said this about so maybe there's still hope. The Witcher III, Skyrim, and Elder Scrolls Online are all games that I found to be utterly boring or overhyped when I first played them and now they all rank as some of my favorite games I've ever played.

Re: Ghost of Yotei's PS5 Price Provokes Fresh Switch 2 Fury

AhmadSumadi

I'll never say what a company can and can't charge. Simply because it comes down to whatever someone is willing to pay for it. However, the people who are defending having to pay more for something are insane! How can you support a company so far as to be OK with them charging you more to support them? It's madness!

Re: Indiana Jones PS5 Is Selling Faster Than on Xbox and PC, Claims Analysts

AhmadSumadi

@Dodoo I agree! Don’t understand why such an iconic character like Indy should be relegated to just being a hand on the screen. Seems like a missed opportunity.

I’ve not played the game but I’m told there are mechanics in there that couldn’t be done in 3rd person. Then again, I was told the same about Elder Scrolls games and I play those games exclusively in 3rd person.
