Re: Gran Turismo 7 PS5, PS4 User Score the Lowest in PlayStation Exclusive History

JSnow2

Really looking forward to the war of PlayStation gamers who value exclusive, offline, no service or microtransaction games vs Jim Ryan, Hermen Hulst and their "bold" live service vision.
All I know is that we went from a pretty good ride on PS4 to what seems to be getting progressively more bumpy on PS5.
If the big exclusives like Demon's Souls, Rift Apart, Forbidden West, etc ever stop getting released, I think those two will find out very quickly "brand loyalty" doesn't go very far here. Xbox learned the hard way and no matter what Twitter tells you, they still haven't recovered 10+ years later. Don't fix what ain't broke.

Re: Gran Turismo 7's New Approach to Microtransactions Isn't Going Down Well

JSnow2

Concerning amount of comments brushing this off as "nothing". No one is telling you not to play GT7 or anything, and shout out to everyone who plays without touching that crap, but y'all better learn real fast to not give an inch or Big Jim Ryan will be asking us for $5 for a stack of wood in Horizon 3.
Absolutely disgusting that they took the Activision approach and just casually waited to turn them on until launch day.

Re: PS5, PS4's Revamped PS Plus Sub Allegedly Outlined in Report

JSnow2

Not surprised, they should have done nothing and just added some classics to the PS+ offerings. They're never changing the full price big budget AAA system seller single player game strategy until it fails, and it ain't failing anytime soon, this will just get them some bad PR.

Re: Horizon Forbidden West Is Getting Review Bombed on PS5, PS4 for No Reason

JSnow2

Those are the people who think the future is all digital, services & subscriptions (thanks Microsoft). It honestly gives me more satisfaction in supporting the PS5 Special Edition. Who knows when or if it will end, but I'm riding the big banger PlayStation exclusive train all the way and this kind of stuff just amps me up even more

Welp the multiplatform fears came true. This is no longer any different than Madden & NBA 2K now.
This is why I will always torch carry for platform pushing exclusives, besides a few 3rd party gems (Village), the first party bangers are the only ones going all out anymore.

Re: Poll: What Are Your Thoughts on Sony's Buyout of Bungie?

JSnow2

Good business move, nothing for us. The Bungie Halos are legendary games, Destiny is great at its core, but I personally don't like how "perfected" they have gotten the hamster wheel to keep try to keep you engaged 24/7, 365 and I am very concerned BIg Jim Ryan & Hermen Hulst have their eyes wide open for that stuff.
I know they have a reported 10 live service games in dev, just hoping this isn't a push away from the big single player exclusive bangers, they should ask the Xbox One how going all in on service games works out.

Re: Geoff Keighley Hints at More Gaming Acquisitions in 2022

JSnow2

I agree with most, hate all this, see us racing towards a GAAS future in an on fire train, but I still don't believe the Japanese companies will sell out so easily.
If I had to guess it will be Take-Two because CEO Strauss Zelnick is a cutthroat corporate suit or Warner Bros. Games who are stuck in limbo with that AT&T/Discovery deal.

Re: Reaction: Messy Ghost of Tsushima Upgrade Makes PS5 for the Payers

JSnow2

The message from Sony is very clear: if you want another PS4 gen with all the best exclusives and partnerships, it's gonna be at a very premium price.

The more they push, the more I'll think twice about pre ordering and what not, but I've seen the other side with how low quality game pass games can be (let's be real, that's what this article is about), so I'll take the good with the bad.

Very Simple for me: keep delivering AAA-Single Player-Exclusives and we're good.
