@Czar_Khastik The "LOL!" portion was not a part of proving any point. You seemed to have glossed over the "Getting an RSS feed from the site doesn't count as retiring from the site." portion. Btw, weren't you retiring from the site? π
@Torque Several days to reply, because I have family, friends, and an actual life outside of the internet. You're seriously flexing about how often you come here to comment? BwaaaaaAAAAA-HAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!! I can't even. ππππππ
@lazarus11 Wait until 2025 models are out with the new Mediatek chip with four HDMI 2.1 ports, up to 165Hz VRR, and a plethora of other significant advancements. I'm was going to get the highly praised & best bang for your buck Hisense U8N but decided to wait until next year.
@Torque I love that you're seething about me ignoring your requests. Cope, seeth, cope... but try not to lose too much more sleep. "Thank you! See you next week ladies and gentlemen", drops mic and walks out the door.
@Czar_Khastik Okay. Bye. But how are you going to know "some actual news arrive" if you "retire from site"? You have to come back every day so see if "some actual news arrive". LOL! You know you're not going anywhere.
The leaderboard always seems broken to me. I got 10/10 and guarantee I beat the top time, yet I'm nowhere on the board. Last place is almost 11 minutes and there's zero chance it took me that long. More like 20-30 seconds as this was the easiest quiz I've ever taken here.
@Torque You stand correct of absolutely nothing. I don't owe you anything but keep pretending like I do. I'm not answering your questions because it's amusing to see how upset it makes you. Hope you feel better soon. Just remember it can't rain all the time. Things will get better, I promise.
@Torque Ahhh, the good ole "You must work for them!!!" line. How original. Your continual childish comments continue to further my case. The game is an absolutely horrendous *$%#fest, yet you continued to play it for anywhere from approx. 18-60 hours depending on side quests, etc? Okayyyy then, but lol. And the copy/paste comment? That wasn't meant to be literal. I was saying that you went around online scouring for a bunch of negative comments others had and then used them to comprise your short story about how God awful it is.
@Torque "Talking to babies"... said the guy who has never played the game and then wrote a 256 word single paragraph rant comprised of copy/paste complaints from various places around the net. LOL!
"30fps, which just doesnβt have the responsiveness required for a game like this" Nonsense. Sure, 30fps mostly sucks, but the responsiveness is fine for a game like this.
Ya'll jumping the gun much to quick. Just like when an extremely small handful of people experienced the bug with "ads" on the home screen (that weren't even ads to begin with). It's a bug, period, or TONS of other people wouldn't still have options for cash rewards.
@Clytorial_Impact If you didn't know about it, that means you weren't even signed up for Stars. If you weren't signed up for Stars, how did you get the points to redeem for Stellar Blade? lol
This thing about "charged $130 for early access" is nonsense. The $130 was for season pass, skins for Kay, Nix, speeder, the Trailblazer spaceship, instant unlock of a bonus mission, and a digital art book. If they took all of that away I VERY highly doubt they would charge $60 more than the base game just for three days early access.
A lot of people could have gotten it earlier by using the "System Feature Updates" in the system settings. It's a separate setting from the system update.
If a person is going to buy the older version, do it from the EU PSN store. There was a bonus section of the game that was available with pre-orders and was never made available for dl outside of that in the US. The EU store has it as a free dlc download.
@Steel76 It was a bug. How many people did you see that this happened to? If it was intentional it would have been FAR more than an incredibly small handful that it was.. There are nearly 120 MILLION users monthly on PSN, yet like 5 of those people posted pictures of it happening. Yeah. Big Sony conspiracy!!! lol
@MrPeanutbutterz There is no point I'm missing. None whatsoever. And what you're clearly displaying with that last comment is that you've run out of substance to try to support your claims so now you can only resort to insults.
@MrPeanutbutterz Steam has ads all over the place. TONS. Far more than any console has ever had. Yes, your phone and tv also both have ads unless you have an old flip phone and a non smart tv. And because you use an ad blocker, doesn't mean browser ads don't exist. Kicking back...against a BUG? LOLOL! HOW DARE THEY HAVE A BUG!!! SHAMEFUL!!!
There are a few things all of the "$700 to play old PS4 games you've already played before, but better" people are forgetting. The first is that there are people who haven't had a PS4 or PS5, so the PS5 Pro would be the best choice for them. Secondly, plenty of people have a good sized backlog of PS4 and PS5 games and feel it's worth the jump to the Pro to play them. Lastly, pretty certain nearly every NEW AA and AAA game that releases after the Pro will have Pro features/upgrades. It's not just old titles.
@MrPeanutbutterz People pay for cable tv and it still has ads. People pay thousands for a tv and it still has ads. People pay for streaming services that still have ads. People pay for games and Game Pass on Series X and that still has ads. People pay for games on Steam that also has ads. People pay $1k+ for a phone and it still has ads. People pay for internet service and there are still ads. Etc. etc.
I'm not saying ads are okay. I'm saying it's pathetic how people jumped on a "SONY SUCKS!" bandwagon (because of fake news that ended up being a glitch) yet were crickets about any other device they use that has ads.
@DDDD I'm sorry but it has nothing to do with the latest firmware. Millions of people are on the latest firmware with the Explore tab and did not get the ads. They weren't even ads to begin with. They were news feeds, some of which were outdated, showing up in the wrong place. Ads would be like what I see on my Series X. For things like Fox News, Pizza Hut, Doritos, and Mountain Dew.
@DDDD First off, I was saying your entire "intentional" comments are what's complete and utter nonsense.
Secondly, a few select users in the world"? LOL! What?!?!?! TONS of people have the Explore tab, including myself, and never had the ads. In fact, most people that haven't gotten the tab yet can get it by simply going to the "Feature Updates" section on their PS5 and running the update. This is different than the system software update.
And why are you changing the topic anyway? This was about the glitch that caused people to get outdated news feeds. It had absolutely nothing to do with the Explore tab.
Tried telling some people yesterday that it's likely a bug because very, very, VERY few people had it happening. But noooooo. I'm obviously a complete idiot. LOL! Comments about it were just further proof of the gaming community being extremely toxic.
Just checked on my PS5 and I'll have to agree with others that said it had to be some kind of bug or glitch. None of the 14 games I have installed show ads when hovering over the game icon. Not even Space Marine 2.
Comments section once again proves how toxic the gaming community is and that most don't even know wtf they're talking about. Non-issue here. Stop hovering over game icons for an hour and play a game.
I haven't played Jusant, but Banishers is an absolutely fantastic game and was well worth the full price I paid at release. It deserved FAR more marketing and respect that it received.
Will buy one of the standard DualSense controllers for myself. Will try to get one of the Pro bundles to scalp. I bet they'll be gone in under a minute. Sony Direct site is going to have all kinds of problems. Site crashing, not letting people enter their payment information, error messages, etc. etc. When it starts working normally.... sold out. LOL! I'd get one of the Anniversary Pros for myself if they were available outside of the bundle.
I can only keep laughing at the "But but but $700!!!" people. That's too much but the same people are okay spending a few hundred more for a PC with similar specs.
@DonJorginho The article is referring to level design being reminiscent of a PS3 title. By wanting "PS5 era adventures" you're pretty much saying... "More open world games, please!"

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Silent Hill 2?

Re: Opinion: The Price of Playing PS5 Games Day One Is Getting Higher and Higher
