PS+ didn’t have a game I’m interested in playing in months. I also think the last PS+ game I really enjoyed is Metal Gear Solid V…

I swear if it weren’t for the cloud saves I would cancel in a heartbeat.

I don’t know about “leaving”. I won’t sell my PS5 that’s for sure, I have lots of games and I still want to play the exclusives. For everything else though, PC (Linux) for the time being.

PS6 I’m almost certainly not buying it full price, and depending on the exclusives and how much it’s going to cost it might be the first PlayStation generation I skip entirely.

It’s way better than XBOX, LOL. My XSX is gathering dust on a shelf and I have zero interest in Helix.

@RS1 I don’t think leaving them alone is going to do squat. There’s plenty of people simping for them, plus the ones who legitimately don’t care about any of it. Many are upset, but even more are not.
The only thing that is going to hurt them is unsubscribing from PS+. Numbers going down is the most terrible thing for the bean counters.
To be frank though, I’m not confident this is going to be rectified. They Locked in, and there’s no easy reverse button.

Hopefully I’m wrong, though. In the end I’m just an old ass gamer. What do I really know? Right?

Good. I doubt I could afford it anyway.

I’m kinda intrigued by this. Keeping an eye on it for sure.

They could have at least given us a good selection of games to soften the blow for the raising of the price. But no.
If it weren’t for the cloud saves I would have already unsubscribed.

Cyberpunk still topping charts is kinda insane. Speaking of having long legs. LMAO.

But does this mean they are going to release their PC games only on their store? Helix being a PC at all.

Seems like dumb strategy, but who knows.

@MrPeanutbutterz makes you wonder if they’ve ever seen a woman up close, doesn’t it?

Great game and it runs decently on PS5, but it’s on PC where it really shines.

Still have to try the VRR mode on Pro though. Might change my mind? We’ll see.

I don’t know mate, it was fun to finally play it from start to finish at 60 FPS (pronounced like Mighty Keef, LMAO). Now I get a free upgrade. I’m eating good.

I get the price was dumb to begin with, but still. I don’t get all the drama.

The Definitive Edition was much, much worse deal.

I downgraded to Essential and the only thing I miss are the trials. The same thing people thought was useless. LMAO.

Same as it ever was.

MindsEye. LMAO. 🤣

Nice. Hopefully Cyberpunk 2 follows suit.

I was excited about this one, but the controls ruin it for me.

@Czar_Khastik I played on my PS5 for several hours today. I didn’t even know.

I bought it to play GT7 but I can’t use it for that because it makes me sick. Everything else I tried so far was either underwhelming or flat out boring.
I’m happy they added games to PS+ for it but that’s about it. I’m about as happy to have bought it as I’m happy I bought a XSX for Halo Infinite. 🤣

Cheers mate.

@Gamer_X which doesn’t sound very smart considering how bad XBOX is doing, does it?
I’m not against PlayStation games being on other platforms, as long as I get to play them on my favorite one. But the risks of diluting the brand and corner yourself into a spot where the traditional console doesn’t make sense anymore is tangible.
I personally love the traditional console model. I don’t want it to go away. But if that’s what the future is going to bring… I’ll live with it.
Just let’s not put our heads in the sand and pretend what PlayStation is doing ain’t at least a bit risky.

I played the game for several hours but then I stopped and never went back to it. It was fun but I didn’t feel compelled to keep playing. I couldn’t get invested in the characters and the gameplay mechanics aren’t that fun for me.

That said. Lots of people like it and I’m glad more people get to enjoy it.

Cheers and happy gaming.

@ChrisDeku it’s like Death Stranding. They don’t own Kojima Prod but they own the IP and consider it first party.

@nomither6 I might be dead wrong about this but I think no one would have much of an issue with it. Some people really have a bone r for Sony, almost as much as for Apple. Justified or not I don’t understand why the same isn’t for Microsoft that is as horrible of a company if not worse.

But at the end of the day, I don’t really care one way or the other. I’m not piling on it but I’m not defending a big corpo either.

Cheers mate.

Good, now gimme some sweat Gears. 🤣

I read season pass and I suddenly lose interest.
Too bad. I loved Top Spin 4.

@Bez87 From what I read, it was indeed an internal idea. Clearly Sony green-lit it though.
I don't know, I understand Days Gone wasn't a success economically, but it "sold" 7mil copies. Most of them on sale and PS+, but still. It warranted some kind of sequel. IMO. But maybe it is just that I'm biased because I really enjoyed the game and I would want to play more of it.

Cheers.

@Bez87 as far as I know they are using Bend for a live service. Which seems like a waste to me. But I don’t like live service games, or multiplayer. So I’m definitely biased. Cheers.

Reminds me of Ironman Super Off-road, Imma definitely check this out. Cheers.

The remastered is very good and worth revisiting. As for GTA+. Nope thanks. RDR and GTA4 are pretty much the only games I care about, it ain’t worth it to pay a subscription. For me of course, mind ya.

Cheers.

I wanted to get Immortals so that’s a win for me. I confused Minecraft Legends with Minecraft Dungeons, it’s even better. I want to try it!
It’s really a great month for me.

I really don’t understand people complaining about this generation. The console is good, better than PS4 was at the time. The games are good. First and third party games. At least for me, this is the best gen yet. Been in the game since before PS1 came out. The only PS gen I didn’t care a lot about is PS2, I played only GT4. Because I was mainly playing on PC and Dreamcast. Or was XBOX? I always get confused with that gen. Anyway. Best PlayStation yet for me, for sure. My fave too, surpassing PS4? We’ll see. Too soon to tell, but so far I’m very happy with it.

Cheers.

I don’t know. The mention of season content. It’s going to be another micro transaction ridden game?
Graphics are… meh. Doesn’t look any better than any other tennis game around. Which is not a good thing.
Gameplay is the part that matters though. TS4 was fun as heck. We’ll see. Certainly not buying it day one after the World Tour debacle.

With the state most games are at release the physical copy is getting more and more useless. Can you imagine having to play CP2077 with the release code? LOL.
I don’t know, I want to support physical games but I’m guilty. I love the convenience of digital and I buy physical copies only of games I really love, after I bought them digitally.

Wanted to try Unbound since release. That’s great. I already own Outer Worlds Spacer Choice Edition and I highly recommend it.

Astro Playroom was one of the best games of this generation. I would be very happy to see more Astrobot coming.

@Rayman123 oh wait, I see what you mean now. Cloud gaming would be the alternative for those gamers I was talking about. Jesus Murphy that’d be a very bleak and sad paradigm shift. Hopefully it won’t happen. It might turn me off completely from playing new titles.

Cheers mate.

@Rayman123 I’m skeptical about that happening. PC gaming is incredibly expensive to get into from scratch. Most gamers complain current gen consoles are too expensive. Also most gamers don’t have the knowledge to build or even just pick an already built gaming PC. They’d be losing a ton of players. That would make Nintendo a very happy camper.

Cheers.

The idea of finally being able to play XBOX games with a DualSense is appealing. Certainly it makes me feel like I wasted 500€ on the XSX. But I was already feeling like that to begin with, to be totally honest.
Provided this shift is even happening for real.

Cheers.

Loved every minute of it. Can’t wait to see more.

Cheers.

I can’t say I care about this IP. I never did. But if it’s going to be good I’ll give it a go, why not.

Cheers.

Great news. This made me wishlist the game.

Cheers.

I don’t know about best ever and whatnot, but I had a lot of fun as always playing games. I played some great games and some terrible duds.
I certainly look with a bit of skepticism at people who say it was a terrible year and there are no good games. Far from me to judge other people experience but, I don’t know, maybe, they are not into games that much (anymore?). There are other hobbies out there to enjoy. I for instance used to love to watch movies, I watched hundreds. Over a thousand, I’m pretty sure. But nowadays most movies just bore me and I don’t feel the drive to watch them anymore. Happens sometimes, you just gotta realize it and move on. You’ll be happier.

Cheers and happy gaming.

@Bamila The CC asked me the serial number of the PS I used to create my account. My account was created more than 10 years ago on a PS3 I don't own anymore, it died. XD
Fortunately an order number was a sufficient alternative.

I think I was talking to an AI, because it was way too dumb to be a human.

They will contact me when they solve it. I'm not holding my breath.

Cheers mate.

Yup, I had the same problem. Bought two games on the cheap and realized I didn’t receive squat. Holding on buying BG3 and Arizona Sunshine 2 because of this. I’m an old man, I want me points. 🤣

Cheers

@Art_Vandelay I’m happy to hear that because I bought the headset specifically for GT7, I’d be kinda hilarious if I ended up using it with everything but GT7. 🤣

Cheers and happy gaming.

Really couldn’t care less for Plague but I wanted to give Evil West a go, glad I waited.

Cheers.

GT7 is great but my body wants to eject my brain out of itself when I play it.
I’m having a blast with CotM though.

Cheers.

@IOI yeah, I love the game, don’t get me wrong. But it was hilarious. Especially considering the game is still garbage on last gen.

I’m looking forward to trying Powerwash simulator. I’d rather do it in real life but it’s winter and I’m always concerned with wasting water, so there’s that. I would have probably bought it if I saw it on the cheap. Like this I get to try it first and potentially not wasting my money like I did on Terminator Resistance.

Cheers.

I played Terra Nil from Netflix, on my iPhone. I believe it’s the first time I actually played a game consistently on a phone.
Did I enjoy it? Yes. Although using a phone for playing any games is a struggle for me personally.
Would I rather have played on my Mac? Yes, I would.

I might try something else, as I already pay for it. But it would be like 100 times more valuable if I could play these games on my computer or console. Like it is it doesn’t add a lot of value for me.

Cheers.

@bpomber I see the supposed demise of XBOX hardware as bad for consumers as well. But Microsoft are not really helping their case, are they? I own an XSX I bought to play Halo Infinite, but it was a huge disappointment for me. So I stopped using it waiting for Starfield. But then they announced it would be only 30FPS on XSX, so I skipped it entirely. The bulk of my games are on PS and I prefer the DS, so I play all 3rd party stuff there. I literally have no reason right now to own an XBOX as I don’t care about GP either.

Microsoft should have pumped some of that money they spent on ABK into developing amazing 1st party experiences, but they didn’t.

I sincerely hope they’ll stick around. I really don’t like Microsoft, I think it’s a terrible company, way worse than Sony. But some competition is better than no competition. Choice is better than no choice. Etc.

My very personal opinion, of course. Nothing more.

Cheers mate and happy gaming.
