Re: Free PS Plus Extension for All Members Affected by PSN Outage

FinneasGH

5 extra days is functionally useless. I stack my subs and have had it running for years, so it just means I’ll get an extra 5 days at the end of it, whenever that may be, years in the future.

It was down for a day for me, which realistically cost me 33p. A comp for 5 days is worth £1.65.

But again I’m not realistically ever seeing that comp come back as it’s just pushed to end of my contract, which is years down the line and so practically I’m not ever going to see it.

Was it a hardship for me to not play something online for a day? No.
Was it a hardship to see my son upset because he couldn’t play Fortnite with his friends? Yes.
Is a fundamentally useless comp worth seeing him upset? No.

Re: Poll: Would You Buy a PS5 Mouse Accessory?

Dedicated PS Mouse and PS Keyboard attachment with haptics in it. Doesn’t need to be a full keyboard with all the Function keys etc, just the basics. Allow it for certain games that benefit it like RTS etc. Port a load of popular PC Games.

Make a new Astro Bot title that utilises all the new functionality.

Re: PS Plus Loses These 8 PS5, PS4 Games Next Month

No interest in any of those RPG but Outriders is fun.

I think Plus is a great service, just an evolving list of games to try that you otherwise wouldn’t spend money to buy. For someone like me that likes to try a lot of things and never goes back to something I’ve already played, it’s awesome.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Players Fed Up with Activision's 'AI Slop' Artwork

In the spirit of Activision, I have used AI to generate my comment below:

While it's interesting to see Activision embracing AI for marketing, it raises some important questions about creativity and authenticity. AI can streamline production, but can it truly capture the spirit and unique storytelling that fans expect from a brand like Call of Duty? It’ll be interesting to see if AI-generated materials resonate with audiences or feel more like a soulless cash grab.
