@Almost_Ghostly not everyone here has an xbox so they wouldn't care if xbox had ads. But I complained about it when I got xbox. I hated it and got rid of it. It's kinda pointless to compare xbox and ps fans reaction to ads, because they're not the same people. Different audience. Different tastes.
I think those that won't buy a ps6 are physical only gamers. And Sony knows it. And probably people who are digital only, don't care about ads. So probably these ads won't deter digital gamers from buying a ps6.
@Bez87 I just wanted to know about console exclusively. It was my own personal interest. I don't need to know about PC sales because PC doesn't have physical. Everything you have said is irrelevant to me.
Since PC is digital only. Why don't they give a percentage of consoles only?
I think if we only count console sales, Physical sales would probably be 16.9% and digital sales would probably be 83.1%. So somewhat higher than what they make it seem.
I could participate. I only log in to purchase currency for another game I play on PC. It's just cheaper on PlayStation. If I was playing on the PlayStation, I wouldn't be able to participate. Coz I can't stop playing games.
I just launched the game. And game was running at 5fps during the starting screen before the title menu. CPU was 160%(yeah idk what 160% is). GPU was 1%. When I got to title screen, was still the same. So I waited a bit because I think it's doing its shader thing in the background. After a minute or so, a cutscene appeared. And my fps went back to normal. 60fps. CPU usage dropped to below 100% but did sometimes go above 100%. GPU usage went to 24%. Still at title screen tho.
Got to the tutorial stage and seem to be working fine. No issues so far. GPU usage increased to about 42%.
FPS seems to be fixed at 60. Doesn't drop below 60. And didn't see an option to increase FPS cap in the settings.
Found an issue. The game doesn't run when you open OBS. A game recording app. If you have the app open in background and try to launch this game, it won't launch. It'll have a black screen then close. Guess it doesn't want us recording it.
I hope this means it's cheaper rather than more expensive. But in the UK it'll probably be more expensive. Because there's a game, "where winds meet" where the prices are cheaper on the PS store for in game currency. Currency that is 74£ on PS store is around 92£ on steam.
What happens if you insert it at a second console that's offline? Will it be able to play the game and at the same time as the first console? What if they're both off line?
I've already switched to PC because one of the reasons was ps plus for online games and I didn't wanna subscribe to anything. And if I do get a next gen console, It has to support physical games. Coz if I'm buying digital games, I'd prefer it on PC.
I'm never getting an Xbox, so doesn't matter to me if next Xbox has physical or not. I only care if playstation has it. But I also probably won't get a ps6 depending on the price. Maybe a PS7, if it has physical.
@Boxmonkey you might not need consoles. But I do. N I've never bought a console for first party games. There are so many other reasons to get a console. The first party games just helps decide which console.
I wish we would get a new console for next gen. A new console that can compete against PlayStation, Nintendo and Xbox. A new console that supports physical games. Something that may be as powerful as PS6 might be.
@Flaming_Kaiser yeah I think the PS2 is old and mine broke after a short time. But PS3 and PS4 have never broke. N i haven't heard anyone else's break either. My PS4 still works today. So I doubt the PS5 drive would ever break unless they have a habit of dropping it a lot.
What if this is a distraction from them closing the ps3 n vita store? Coz I don't hear anyone talking about that much. And then when it's finally closed and forgotten, they might reverse the digital only decision. Maybe.
If Nintendo continues physical discs/cartridges, then they could start releasing games for Nintendo instead. But I hope they also release digital games for other platforms that are digital only.
If it's a handheld, I'd get it. I got the vita when it launched. Got the one with the sim card slot but never put a sim card in it. Realised that was a bad idea.
How do they know the costs if they don't know what the specs are, or do they know what the specs are?
And to those that are switching to PC, I hope you don't switch to a windows PC and go for a Linux based PC. If there's more users on Linux, it might get more game support. The only games I think aren't on Linux are games with anti cheat.
I'm on PC, so I'm forced to get a digital if it releases after a year. But consoles should always be physical. I weren't planning on buying this game on launch. Would wait for a sale.
Oh. My playstation home screen was glitching last night. I think it was because of this gta ad on the background. Wanted to buy something from the ps store. I don't have stick drift. But the cursor kept going up. Wouldn't go down. Even if I turn it off and on. Had to unplug the power cord. When I plugged it back in, it was back to working as normal. Oh and I also connected the controller by wire too after I unplugged the power cord. It could have been that, what fixed it.
GTA5 mentioned there'll be GTA online before it was released. With no mention about online for this game, I'll doubt there would be one for a very long time. Could be up to a year late or never.
I got a 4tb for £230. It's now over £500 for the same ssd. I got the Samsung 990 pro 4tb. So the £3000 one would be kinda pointless. That's more than the cost of everything in my pc.
I think the audiences are different for both games so they wouldn't be competing. I feel like this is more aimed at kids. And kids won't be buying gta6.
