Re: Star Wars Outlaws Slips PS5 Screen Tearing Bug into Latest Patch

Almost_Ghostly

@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.

Re: Sony Product Manager Urges PS5 Fans to 'Settle Down' Over Ads

@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 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!!!

Re: PS5 Pro Will Reportedly Boost PS4 Games, and Reduce PSVR2 Motion Sickness

Almost_Ghostly

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.

Re: Sony Product Manager Urges PS5 Fans to 'Settle Down' Over 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.

Re: Sony Product Manager Urges PS5 Fans to 'Settle Down' Over Ads

@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.

Re: Jaw-Dropping 30th Anniversary PS5 Pro Console and Accessories Will Bankrupt You

Almost_Ghostly

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.

Re: Feature: PS5 Pro's Been Clowned on By the Entire Internet, and the Memes Will Make You Laugh

Almost_Ghostly

@NEStalgia You really don't know what you're talking about in all of that. You really don't. I'll agree to disagree because we're not changing each others mind. I'm 53 and have owned every generation of Sony, Xbox, and Nintendo consoles, so don't need any education on marketing terms. Remember when Sony said 4000+ games available on PS4 are playable on PS5? That was an accurate statement and I feel you're spinning their "up to 8000" to what YOU are wanting it to mean. Anyway... nothing left to say about it.

Re: Feature: PS5 Pro's Been Clowned on By the Entire Internet, and the Memes Will Make You Laugh

Almost_Ghostly

@Oprahs_cellulite So people are going to just ignore every other game that features Pro enhancements and make their decision based on GTA VI? LOL! Just. No. I personally can't stand the GTA series and am purchasing a Pro for my backlog of titles, many already confirmed to have Pro support, along with the 8000+ titles said to be compatible with the Game Boost mode for games that don't specifically have official Pro support. I assume most making the purchase are similar to myself, and not using GTA VI as their sole motivation for purchase.

Re: Feature: Everything You Can Do in PS5's New Welcome Hub

Almost_Ghostly

@AhmadSumadi Of course I know, and I specifically stated they changed some of the ToS. The point expiration is changing from 24 months to 12 months. A year is not a short while. And let's say you pay monthly for PS+ Premium. Along with your ESO points, that's 3,960 points annually. You're only missing out on less than $16 worth of points for an entire year, or a whopping $1.33 per month. I think if you're able to spend almost $400 a year on subscriptions.... that $16 worth of coins shouldn't be bothering you and really isn't a big deal whatsoever. "they effed up stars" is quite a stretch imo.

Re: Feature: Everything You Can Do in PS5's New Welcome Hub

@HRdepartment You "no games" people are absolutely ridiculous. You must have bought the PEE-ES FYVE from Temu or Wish because there are over 700 games on PS Plus alone. Not Sony's fault you bought some generic knock off that plays flip phone mobile game roms like 20 versions of Snake and Tetris.

Nothing wrong with the $700 price tag (although Β£700 is too much). You can't build a new PC with the same specs for $700 that will perform as good as the PS5 Pro. This was even the case with the base PS5.

Re: Feature: Everything You Can Do in PS5's New Welcome Hub

Almost_Ghostly

@AhmadSumadi How so? It was down for a while then they changed some of the ToS. but it's still basically the same thing it's always been since it started. About the only thing they have left to do is integration with the PS5 instead of just with the app, which should have been included with this update, at least as a widget.
