Re: PSN Survives Christmas Day Relatively Unscathed

GamerDad66

I was having terrible problems with PSN and the store.

Then I realized my Pro just sucks at 5G, which is really weird.

I have several other 5G devices and they all work great with no problems.

Downgraded my PS4 Pro to 2G and now it connects and transfers faster.

Anyone else have 5G problems with Pro? Maybe an update broke something?

Re: PS Plus Members Received Nearly $900 Worth of Games in 2019

I forgot to buy an renewal on Black Friday for $39. Which sucks...

Now I'm going to get jacked up when it auto-renews for $59.

The sad part is I forgot last year too, so Plus costing me alot lately.

I used to get discounted subs off Amazon, but that's all gone now.

Getting a deal now is more tricky, they don't have any Xmas deals anymore.

Re: Next Xbox Will Match PS5 Price and Power, Says Microsoft

GamerDad66

If the machines are as similar as they say...

It almost seems silly, the market will be split with zero upside.

I guess you could say it will lower prices, but it will also weakens the players.

If MS & Sony are going for the high-end, I almost wish they'd work together.

Alot of people own both formats, it would save them alot of money next time.

Re: Hideo Kojima Wants His Studio to Make Movies in the Future

GamerDad66

This whole thing is fascinating...

During the whole run-up to DS, people revered Kojima as a god.

Now that the game is out, people are breaking bad calling him a fraud.

If he decided to leave gaming behind, it would be most epic flameout ever.

I'm neither a fan nor a detractor, I'm just watching the circus as it rolls by.

Re: Diablo 4 and Overwatch 2 Are Almost Certainly PS5 Games

GamerDad66

I'm still hoping D4 will be PS4 compatible...

It's been in development for several years now.

If it's PS5 only, that would delay many gamers from playing it initially.

Due to open world thing and always online (?), I'm feeling somewhat meh.

If it's a PS4 game I'll try it, but if it's PS5 then I'm not upgrading just for that.

Re: Gallery: Diablo 4 Concept Art Is Beautifully Grim, Shows Characters, Environments, and More

GamerDad66

Pretty dark and sick-looking...

But will this look wear on people and depress them?

It's definitely not a rousing high-fantasy look that some people enjoy.

I'm worried they might be going too dark and about the multiplayer too.

Some people don't want to have strangers running thru their game areas.

I'm not a big multiplayer fan, so I prefer it be completely separate like D3.

Re: Diablo 4 Has a 'Shared Open World', Campaign Is Non-Linear

GamerDad66

I'm still hoping that Diablo Immortal comes out on console.

Blizzard has spent alot of time & money on it (such as it is).

I still want to play it on a controller and not on a tablet touchscreen.

Game takes place around D2 and supposedly has alot of Diablo lore.

Still hoping Blizzard doesn't just dump game out in the Far East to die.

We could use a free2play Diablo game to make the wait for D4 easier.

Re: The Outer Worlds to Have a Hefty Day One Patch on PS4

GamerDad66

Not that I'm doubting Pro support...

But I'd like to see what Digital Foundry come up with.

Sometimes 3rd Party games aren't well optimized for Sony initially.

Just want to know the Sony optimization wasn't just thrown together.

If the checkerboarding is basic, then 60fps would be a better option.

Re: Demon's Souls Remaster Rumours Just Won't Go Away

GamerDad66

I hope Sony bankrolls this...

It's a great Exclusive that needs more attention now.

I also wish they put out a Pro patch for The Order: 1886.

I want to play without letterboxing at full 1080p (or better) on Pro.

Remember...even Knack got a Pro Update (and I'm not knocking it).

Re: US PlayStation Store Weekend Flash Sale Offers Discounts on a Handful of PS4 Titles

@Oscarjpc

Yes, I bought Titan Quest and I've been very busy playing it.

It's more similar to D2 (skill trees) than D3, but I'm enjoying it quite a bit.

There's alot of things here that clearly influenced the D3 team, I think.

The maps are not procedural, so everything's a bit more hand-crafted.

It's got Acts in all the major areas of the Ancient World (Greece, China).

Monsters are all Classic Mythology (Centaurs, Cyclops), it's alot of fun.

They've also been adding new DLC, so I hope we get that soon on PS4.

Despite being a little clunky, this is a super fun fantasy ARGP loot fest.

Re: Torchlight II - Diablo's One True Contender Finally Comes to PS4

GamerDad66

Since people are chatting about other ARGPs...

I picked Titan Quest in the last flash sale for $9.

This game came out between D2 and D3 about 13 years ago.

Despite some clunkiness, it's still ALOT of fun and very different from D3.

Classical historical setting is unusual setting for ARGP and it's big game.

Skills are different too, I'm doing a Dream (psionic) & Storm (cold/lightning) class.

Re: Guide: Will There Be a PS5 Pro?

GamerDad66

I don't really see a PS5 Pro...

Law of Diminished Returns.

If 4K is the standard (by then) & PS5 can do 4K, what would be the point.

Doing a monster console for Big $$$ only gives an opening for cheaper streaming boxes.
