@EquiinoxGII GT7 did indeed win out, but it was close 😂. Haribo are a bit more transient unfortunately.

@Old-Red I think part of the problem here is that GT7 is seen to be a really good game by people who love cars. It's not like it's mediocre or rubbish. How can you not warm eventually to a great game that is taking remedial action from criticism? That's a no win way of looking at things I think.

Right peeps. Not a car fan, never played a GT game but I recognise a reversal of decision when I see it and it should be applauded just as criticism should be questioned. But I have a new dilemma:. £70 worth of GT7 or £70 worth of haribo? 🤷‍♂️😂

@tinCAT-zero At NO extra cost he might add 😂

@Luigia How do you factor Sony patching the firmware on legacy ps systems and ps5 to allow for playing the contents of the disk in offline mode into your calculation for game preservation while Microsoft do not?

Try finger...then stability.

@Danloaded Horizon will stay strong. Elden ring is phenomenal, but people are going to want something else that's really good after it.

@PhhhCough stormveil castle is bloody huge. Still not confident to address those big knights. Infact, Godrick might be easier than most of those f*****s.

@gamiller1978 Me too exactly!

@shadow2k I'm not convinced she showed enough evidence to be unilaterally categorized as a gamer 😂

@Northern_munkey It IS in another league 😍

@Milktastrophe Maybe that's where some of the monsteosities in elden ring have came from 😂

@shadow2k So is the moral to that story:. Bloody of-course 😂

I wonder if he's an actual gamer...?

@Medic_Alert True, but gaming is a big part of my life and I feel better about reciprocating for my chosen hobby than scrimping and complaining.

@Medic_Alert I paid £70 for digital. Because I wanted to support Sony making these games.

It should also be noted that the only way to play this game on ANY format at 60fps is on ps5 with the PS4 app. Digital allows you to get access to both(I bought ps5 version) and I have both versions installed. I only played the first hour on ps5 and to be honest the drops are little. And I say this with full sensitivity to frame rate drops to the point I have not played a single sub 60fps game since I got my ps5 at launch.

I'd like to think the ps5 disc version would allow the PS4 app to be downloaded, but it's more likely the PS4 version that would allow the upgrade.

@Medic_Alert It could also be unoptimised network code holding it up. I think elden ring is getting a bit of leeway because the game DOES appear to be all that for somebody who likes that type of game. Cyberpunk was mostly slated for sheer magnitude of bug types and severity, plus it was not the open world and magnificently realised choice-ramification extravaganza that project red reported. Elden ring IS open world dark souls for its faults just now(which we all hope are temporary). The art direction actually took my breath away first seeing the open world. It doesn't look like anything else I've played.

@Medic_Alert I have only played up to the introduction of the open world element on ps5. There are wierd stutters, that don't appear to be GPU bound. You can literally look up in the sky, spin the camera and you'll get a couple of dropped frames per second. It looks like there are severe CPU (unoptimised) things that are being done on certain frames. I haven't played in heavily busy scenes yet though...

@Juanalf "...although I do admit that does make me the complainer of complainers that complain about complainers."

I HATE those! Oh wait...

@BritneyfR_ee It seems if your movie isn't chock full of political hit points and is infact trying to avoid them for the sake of the viewers sanity then the 'official' reviewers pan them. Sod them. Go and enjoy the creativity and the spectacle! 🤔😂

@nessisonett I know bud. I really don't know what should be done, but the old adage of giving an inch and them taking a mile is accurate I think.

If I remember right No Way Home is like 70% on meta but is pretty much universally loved and is at about 2bn in box office takings.

@themightyant Anti social old sod? I can relate 😂

@Col_McCafferty Exactly, and we also want Sony to keep delivering the highest quality production values in their games ta very much.

@AhabSpampurse Espresso enemas? 😂😂😂. Why not just inject them straight into the eyeball like everybody else 😂

@nessisonett Regarding the energy prices, there's not less wealth in the world. It's just been reallocated upwards. I think people need to take a stand in this situation as opposed to getting used to 'just living with less'. The concept of living with less' is wholesome, but not when it's forced.

@NEStalgia I mean as opposed to Sony paranoia.

@RevGaming Bethesda were sitting on a much bigger treasure trove of IP than bungie could ever dream of and proceed to neglect most of the IP and release completely unfinished service games(which to their credit they have pulled back even before MS bought them)

Also note is the indie scenes REAL concern with this acquisition. The move to psychologically remove reciprocational intent from the user base to actually pay for what they want to play(ie fund the guys making your games and desiring more) will affect indies hard. It looks like Microsoft are wanting to 'buy' everybody else's poorer state.

@RevGaming I don't understand the paranoia FOR Microsoft from a subdivision of Sony I really don't. Next there will be justification as to why the apparent impending Great Reset that will make the whole world poorer will be a great environment for Gamepass.

@RevGaming What if the FTC takes into account parent company worth, universal mark share of target publisher(including with rival platforms) and monopolistic intentions?

@RevGaming Sony always wins? Like 40 odd on the richest companies in the world Vs number 2?

@RevGaming you said if Sony bought Bethesda they'd completely make it exclusive. The biggest precedent so far is Sony buying bungie and those titles are going everywhere.

@Royalblues Sunset overdrive was an exclusive and was not reciprocated with any kind of good sales. One exclusive on Xbox that does pretty much nothing and suddenly Microsoft have a perfect 50% reputational share in insomniac? That's insane. Insomniac have made about 15 games playstation exclusive with a good amount of success. I bet ps players contributed a LOT more financial success proportionally to Bethesda and acti/blizz than Microsoft (and it's fans) did to insomniac.

@RevGaming You do realize that if Phil were playing a game of chess with an opponent he would like to have 3 moves per turn.

@CynicalGamer Sony seems to meet the Devs halfway when creating great content and then acquiring them. Microsoft just seen success at already made IPs over time and just buys it. In other words, Sony are partaking In the experience and challenge of making games.

@RevGaming Like they are doing with Bungie?

@RevGaming How are you confusing two entirely different companies wealth and then equalising potentially 10b(your value) and 68bn?

@get2sammyb How DARE you! Cricket matches can last for days 🙈

No, I will not opt for the PS4 version. With full knowledge I pre-ordered the ps5 version and I'm only annoyed there doesn't seem to be an upgrade to special edition option.

@naruball Lovely calm, reasoned replies. 😂. I find it too easy sometimes to jump into argumentative fury.

@IonMagi How on earth do you know exactly what Sony's studios are doing? They keep their hands close to their chest. Each studio seems to be working on 2 projects, and that's not including partnerships with new studios. Do you remember mere months ago when Sony nearly crashed the internet with marvel reveals and Kotor? Stop presuming to know so much.

@Deljo Because we all have favourites. We have opinions. As opposed to being completely homogenised and machine like. And we perceive injustice.

@Integrity Exactly. Microsoft would basically kill what you love to win you not having any choices anymore. It's reprehensible, and it certainly doesn't court affection, trust and fairness.

@Martsmall Yes because little Microsoft can't handle pr from another company...sorry Xbox bought 2 major companies and gatekeeps a third company from putting their content on a possible playstation equivelant and you still think the 'conspiracy' is stacked against you. Lord above

@Deljo People can see ***** when they see it. If all was fair, Xbox would also look more appealing to me, but as it stands it's basically a good console with a monstrosity of a company dealing with it.

An antitrust position I'm sure would be joined by more than just Sony.

I will be buying first party games God of war 2 and horizon2 this year. I'm also going to make a simple personal statement that I appreciate playstation by buying each of these games twice. Brand new.

@Col_McCafferty And Starfield may also be plagued with bugs. Microsoft realeased halo infinite in a relatively unfinished state. Why would they wait till Starfield is perfect?
