@zebric21 not really sure what rapidly improves means. FSR is over 5 years old and isn't any better than PSSR that's only been on the market under 2 years. If anything that's the rapid improvement. DLSS is naturally better but they've had over 7 years to improve it, PSSR is certainly way ahead of where that was after 2
@Noone2025 completion satisfaction for me. When I get one I know I've done practically everything the game has to offer and got my money's worth. Plus when something is actually hard and you achieve it it's a great feeling. Rather than thinking I can't be bothered doing that
It wouldn't though would it. As much as I've loved the remake project and the expanded world. Everyone would be happy if it was a HD-2D version or something like the Memoria Project on FF9. (I'm baffled they haven't hired them btw it is stunning).
@Almost_Ghostly wasn't my point about downloading games though? My PSN is still down. 6 hours now. If I thought hey I'll buy a new game. I can't. That is the point.
@Almost_Ghostly because the point is nonsense. As the guy said above 87% of physical PS5 games can be played without a connection so 7 in 8 games. You're talking like it's 5%
@SteveButler2210 but you still could play it and that's the main thing. No idea why people are still trying to argue for an all digital future, everyone loses out
@SteveButler2210 not if it released today or I spur of the moment wanted to buy one. And if I order a new game it's delivered release day or a day early, plus I could literally walk to a store and get it, you don't have to wait for delivery. Naturally the outage won't last long but i was pointing to the fact it could go down anytime and we cant do anything. I still remember when it was down for 3 weeks
@SteveButler2210 I've just got a game delivered today and I'm now playing it. If I was digital I couldn't have got on the store to even buy it, so not quite the same
Well still know Sony are making it seem worse than it is but I do hope it's reversed but I doubt it, people should have the choice especially as people have bought a disc drive for their Pro. Just charge more if you need to for disc. It'll be a sad day for me. It's easily saved me 4000+ this gen simply because I've been able to buy physical. Certainly a lot of cash to be put on my gaming bill next gen. If I didn't love chasing trophies I'd probably go full PC next gen, it'd save me a lot of money.
Thing is though is it because of games just not selling like they did? Requiem from example was about 30% physical. So no reason the other AAAs aren't a similar number. 100k sounds shocking but it's not as if the games that sold 100k physical sold over a million digital. They just sold low as a whole
If they want to go all digital then do it. But I hate that they're twisting the numbers and acting like it's 85% of proper game releases are digital when it's nothing like that figure to make it sound like it's obvious they should
@Darff11 isn't really the point about them supporting them forever though is it. Naturally that was always going to end. But it's not a good thing. Just means everyone. Including digital players will end up paying more for games
@ShadowRJ makes sense. Genuinely can't believe people are still spouting it's 85% of games like it's the same for ones in stores. If I was to guess I'd say 60% digital for day one games
@Nexozi you literally said why yourself. PC has multiple store fronts. They compete with each other on price. We don't have that, we have only one store and whatever price they want to charge we have no other option. This is why it is bad
@clvr I agree with your last point. Absolutely sales are irrelevant to quality but eh..I'd be hard pressed to think of games that have the full package of story, gameplay, attention to detail and visuals of rockstar products. Like I say in my personal opinion the bar is always raised. Everyone different though
@clvr I play hundreds and GTA games are still the overall package of story and gameplay IMO, just plain fun. Don't get me wrong I'll never agree with 30 FPS and I haven't played a single one this gen at 30. I pick performance mode always. But we still haven't seen it graphically proper yet to judge. And they're always the best looking games that exist on release. And the physics will likely be next level too. Naturally there will be people that think they're overrated though but there's a reason they score 97 98 and sell tens of millions.
@MikeOrator I mean you're right with he code in a box. But outrageous price? Don't get that. It's a normal price and will have more content than 99% of games. I remember game prices in the 90s. That's $120 now and they lasted about 2 hours. Now we get 200 hour massive world experiences. Probably the best value entertainment per hour there is.
@clvr track record I guess. Rockstar never miss. They push the boundary every single time. Every other GTA was 30 FPS so whilst it's not ideal, you can't knock their overall game package.
@Rich33 I have a VRR so I'd be very satisfied if it was 55 FPS. I can't tell the difference with VRR kicking in. Dropping under 48 is highly noticeable though
I doubt many expected it. Id take 40 every day of the week though. 50% better frame time is a good improvement. The eyes will adjust though. Moving from 60 to 30 is jarring but with fresh eyes waking up you adjust to 30 pretty quickly
@Dogbreath GTA V ran great I played it day one. Didn't run into any bugs personally. Online was buggy, but that's different. Same with RDR2. I played GTA 4 day one but it's 20 years ago so I can't really remember. Given it scored 98/100 and the second highest score of all time. I can't see that a mess either? For massive open worlds they're very stable day one
@Slayer25c or the fact I don't base my whole existence on politics. It's genuinely sad how people think the opposite side is the devil and your side is an angel when every party is as bad as each other. They all lie, and I'd rather live a life not giving 2 hoots about it rather than stop playing games because I don't like one voice actor 😂 other things exist.
Genuinely amazes me that people don't buy a game because a voice actor has a different political view to them 😂 genuinely pathetic. It's an entertainment product. Who genuinely gives an s h one t

@Bigumamiflavor in fairness GTA doesn't need one. They'll sell 50 million day one either way. Square Enix definitely need every sale though

Re: PSN Down But Slowly Recovering After Amazon Web Services Outage
@SteveButler2210 that's still 87% that can be played without a connection. Massive amount. Not really sure what you're trying to argue really.
Re: PSN Was Down Due to Amazon Web Services Outage
@SteveButler2210 but you still could play it and that's the main thing. No idea why people are still trying to argue for an all digital future, everyone loses out
Re: PSN Was Down Due to Amazon Web Services Outage
@Almost_Ghostly but mine didn't. Hence I'm playing it. So try again. Surely you got that point?

Re: Physical Game Fans Won't Like This New Data About US PS5 Sales

Re: Reaction: PlayStation's Burned Through the Last Remaining Goodwill of Its Fans
@jonnybear wish I knew, they never release splits of digital Vs physical on releases anymore but it's certainly nowhere near 85

People really need to stop throwing this 85% figure out. It's so misleading. That isn't the ratio of digital to physical on new releases
