Re: Poll: Would You Pay $1,000 for a PS6?

Athrum

missing a "***** no!" option.
Consoles shouldn't be more than 500€, even 600 is already stretching it.
I know this is where the world is where it comes to tech, but I'll faster just buy an FPGA console and start playing with old ROMS than dishing out 1000€ for a new console, which by the way will be completely digital so you're only renting the games on it anyway.

Re: Over 1,100 Improvements Promised in The Blood of Dawnwalker Patch 1.1

@BrockSmith I loved it. It had it's flaws of course, but it was a game made in 3 years by a new studio.
The story is pretty good, quest design is great and the characters are deep and interesting, if only a few of them.
The combat is alright, I do like the parry system where you need to use the directions but it has a lot of room to be improved.

Re: Poll: Are You Sold on GTA 6?

Looks great, but I won't play it on release. Since it's only digital I'll wait until it is around 20€ before diving in. Got plenty to play in the meantime.

Re: Microsoft Confirms Xbox Disc-to-Digital Program in the Wake of Sony Decision to End PlayStation Discs

As much as I don't want physical media to go away, I simply don't want to spend money on a rental, this is a step in the right direction to appease people with large physical collections. This way you can move forward to the next console and your collection goes with you.
I don't see Sony do this because they're the market leader, they just want you to buy the games again.

@Chesterpl your disc still works if they remove the digital license. This is to help people move forward to a digital only console and take their collection with them

Re: 'Discs Don't Really Make Sense': GTA 6 Boss Says 'Sony Understands That' as It Kills Physical Games

@Flaming_Kaiser Unfortunately I don't think the lawsuit (if there is one) will amount to anything.
I want physical to stay an option as anyone else, but if Sony sells the digital codes in retails shops, like Rockstar is doing with GTA6, then you cannot claim it's a monopoly.
Same as any third party games that they sell in PSN, you can always get those in other digital stores (Microsoft, Nintendo, Steam, Epic, GOG), the only issue is with the games they create, but as far as I am aware they can sell their own product in any way they want.

I'm already starting to give up. I'll buy my last disks in 2027 and then I'll flip to my Switch and PC.
