The thing I loved about the P2 and early launch version PS3 was the BC. I enjoy playing older games from time to time and some of those games I no longer have so to be able to get them digitally is great.
I just bought this game the other day and when I reached Timber heading to the tv station, as I'm climbing the steps when Selphie says: "Hey an outdoor tv" the game crashed and froze.
The problem with Madden is the fact that EA doesn't innovate the game. It's the same rehashed Madden game we've all played the last 15 years or so.
And that's the bad thing about having exclusive license in that EA doesn't need to reinvent or improve the game because there's no other NFL licensed game we can purchase and they know that.
I miss the old NFL 2k games because those games were fun and more sim vs Madden which is more arcade.
I prefer physical games simply because I can trade and/or sell them if I want whereas digital games cannot be sold or traded and they're tied to your online account.
@Papasears I'm with you because in my opinion you don't "own" digital games. I prefer my games on discs so I can play them whenever I like even if that console is no longer supported I can play my disc games.
I still play PS2 and PS3 disc games and I'm glad I have that option.
@Jslade I agree with you. I'll get a PS5 maybe in the spring. Right now, I am not sure how the second round of Covid is going to go so I need to reserve some funds.
@suikoden Arrogance cost Nintendo back in the day when they refused to change their business model during the PS1 and Sega Saturn days. Nintendo went with the cart based N64 and they have never fully recovered and a few years on Microsoft joined the fray.
The console price isn't bad but the price of games might make some people hold off since we're dealing with the corona, people losing jobs, people who haven't returned to work, companies closing down etc.
Wait and see how it plays out but until then I may put off getting a PS5 for at least 6 months because the launch games aren't my cup of tea.

Re: Talking Point: What PS Plus Games for October 2021 Do You Want?
I'd like to see CB 4: It's About Time but I doubt it'll be one of the games for Oct.
I'd like Sid Meier's Civilization VI as well but again I doubt it'll be on the list.
Re: ActRaiser Renaissance
I remember this from the SNES. Pretty good game back then so I am anxious to see how this one holds up.

Re: PS5 Hits 10 Million Sales, Is the Fastest-Selling PlayStation Console Ever
@Ilovecoffee Ditto although I don't have the PS4 Pro my regular PS4 plays just fine.
Re: PS5 Hits 10 Million Sales, Is the Fastest-Selling PlayStation Console Ever
10 million in sales is cool but uh when can those of us who have been searching high and low for a PS5 expect to get our hands on one Sony.
Re: PS Plus August 2021 PS5, PS4 Games Leaked by Sony
@Uromastryx But the good thing is they're free so if you try them out and don't care for them, at least you didn't pay for them.
Re: PS Plus August 2021 PS5, PS4 Games Leaked by Sony
@Reeneman I almost bought this game so if it's one of next month's free games I'm definitely going to try it out.

Re: Madden NFL 22 Outlines Post-Release Scouting System Overhaul
It's the same old lame game that EA has been putting out since the early to mid 2000s.
Re: UK Sales Charts: F1 2021 Finishes on the Podium While Ratchet & Clank Clings to Top 10
Codemasters makes awesome F1 games.

@Shinnok789 I've played them all beginning with the first game and I can't wait to play OWSS. Great platform-style games.
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Games for April 2021?
I wish Oddworld Soulstorm was free for the PS4 as well. Other than that no complaints.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 368

Re: Soapbox: PS5 Backwards Compatibility Has Kept Me Glued to My Next-Gen Console
The thing I loved about the P2 and early launch version PS3 was the BC. I enjoy playing older games from time to time and some of those games I no longer have so to be able to get them digitally is great.
Re: Final Fantasy VIII Remastered - A Fascinating JRPG Classic, Gameplay Flaws and All
I just bought this game the other day and when I reached Timber heading to the tv station, as I'm climbing the steps when Selphie says: "Hey an outdoor tv" the game crashed and froze.
Any ideas how to resolve this?
Thanks and Happy New Year all!
Re: Madden NFL 21 (PS5) - Three and Out for Tired Football Sim
The problem with Madden is the fact that EA doesn't innovate the game. It's the same rehashed Madden game we've all played the last 15 years or so.
And that's the bad thing about having exclusive license in that EA doesn't need to reinvent or improve the game because there's no other NFL licensed game we can purchase and they know that.

Re: NBA 2K21 Community Rocked by Modded PS4 Controllers

Re: Soapbox: PS5 Is Pushing Me Ever Closer to All-Digital

Is there a specific internet speed recommended for the PS5?
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Games for November 2020?
@Culjoseth Oh that fine.
Re: PS5 Digital Edition vs Standard PS5: What's the Difference?
@Papasears I'm with you because in my opinion you don't "own" digital games. I prefer my games on discs so I can play them whenever I like even if that console is no longer supported I can play my disc games.
I still play PS2 and PS3 disc games and I'm glad I have that option.
Re: PS5 Digital Edition vs Standard PS5: What's the Difference?
I am not a fan of digital games so I'll definitely get the non digital version.
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Games for November 2020?
@Ralizah I thought Bugsnax was also on PS4. I guess I misunderstood.
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Games for November 2020?

Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Games for November 2020?
I am not impressed with Novembers free games so I'll pass this month. Trying to decide if I want a PS5 at launch or should I wait.

Re: Reaction: Spider-Man PS5 Debacle Shows Sony Is Out of Touch
@suikoden Arrogance cost Nintendo back in the day when they refused to change their business model during the PS1 and Sega Saturn days. Nintendo went with the cart based N64 and they have never fully recovered and a few years on Microsoft joined the fray.
Re: Reaction: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of Today's PS5 News
The console price isn't bad but the price of games might make some people hold off since we're dealing with the corona, people losing jobs, people who haven't returned to work, companies closing down etc.

Re: PS5 Backwards Compatibility: Can You Play PS3, PS2, and PS1 Games on PlayStation 5?
I'm hopeful the PS5 allows BC for PS3 and PS4 games.
Re: Madden NFL 21 - Football Brings All the Boys to the Yard
@Matroska I agree because all you're really paying is a roster upgrade.
Re: Madden NFL 21 - Football Brings All the Boys to the Yard
This game is trash and on a of 1 to 10 with 10 being the best, I's give it a 4.
Re: PGA Tour 2K21 - Sim Will Suit Golf Fans to a Tee
I haven't had a PGA game for quite some time so this may be a buy at some point when the price drops.
Re: PS5 Games Could Cost $10 More Than PS4
Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis games had a retail price of $59.99 and these were the old school cart-based 16-bit games.
The old NES games also sold for $59.99 so this price thing is confusing.
Re: NBA 2K21 Demo Dunking PS4 Today
I'm on the fence about 2k21 and Madden this time around. I may skip both of them.
Re: Best PS4 Games
I like GT Sport but I can't seem to get the right car tunes so if anyone knows a site that has car tunes for GT Sport, post a link, please. Thanks!
