Re: Sounds Like Switch 2 May Have Obliterated PS5's Launch Record in France

Futureshark

Did you know in France it's illegal for men to wear anything apart from Speedos in a public swimming pool.

My french mate told me he used to get lots of mademoiselles by stuffing a potato down his budgie smugglers.
I tried it once with him but all the French girls screamed and ran away.

My French friend told me I should actually have stuffed the potato down the front of my Speedos...

Re: Poll: Do You Care About the Death of PlayStation Stars?

The trinkets were pointless but getting the odd bit of PSN credit back made it worth it.

As level 4 I also had priority access to customer service. I think that's the real reason they're scrapping the whole thing, they actually had to respond to me and other level 4 customers 'quickly'.

Re: Sony's Huge Days of Play Sale on PS5 Consoles, Games, PS Plus Subs Starts Next Week

No mention of the PS Portal dropping?

I was just in Taiwan and picked one up for £160 equivalent (6480 TWD), so if you're going there I'd recommend picking one up.
However only from official Sony shops, stock is extremely low so the independent shops in Taipei main station and Digital Plaza for example hiking the price to nearly 10,000TWD, saying you can only buy one with a couple of games or accessories, not on its own which is really weird sales practice, but I guess it helps move the old stock (such as Forspoken and Gotham Knights that were pushed on me).

Anyway, get one there if you want one and you are going or know someone who is, that's my advice.

Re: The Most Addictive Game Ever Is Now Available on PS5, PS4

@WolfyTn

I think you missed my sarcasm, I wasn't really going to watch someone play a game where they just repeatedly press one button, about as much as I'd play a game where all you do is press one button repeatedly.

The joke being might as well watch someone else press a button repeatedly then do it myself.
I don't understand this kind of game, I think fun from gaming comes from making decisions and trying to react in time. If I wanted to mindlessly press a button then I could go play with my Playstation doorbell.

Re: PS5 Fans Furious As Microsoft Ships DOOM: The Dark Ages with Just 85MB on the Disc

As much as people don't like it, at least Nintendo has the honestly to call the piece of plastic in the box a 'key'.

That's effectively the only difference now between a physical and digital version of a game, the physical requires a physical 'key' to be in place to run, ie the game disc.

Games are released now with patching planned in effectively, so the final version of a game can be very different to the version 1.0 found on the original gold release.

Personally I think that's when publishers should produce the physical edition, at the end of its patching cycle and when the real fans will want to buy it with all the tat that comes with it too (for a reasonable price too).

However instead we are getting huge 'collectors' editions that don't even have a disc or download code included (ghost of yotei).

The whole thing is back to front.

Re: Plenty of People Are Playing Expedition 33 on PS5, Despite Having to Actually Buy It

I would say 'having to buy it' means you're far more invested in the game in the first place and already have an interest.

Whereas the format of Gamepads means more people like to 'dabble' for a bit and tend to move on more quickly unless it's something specific they're interested in.

So in this case 30% of players are PS5 owners who've 'bought' it.
You could argue that of the potential 70% potential Gamepass users on PC and Xbox, again 30% equivalent max have bought it, leaving 40% who have dabbled in the game.
