Re: Vince Zampella Defends PS5 Pro Price, Says 'It's Actually Not That Bad'

LordOfTurnips

People should listen to themselves a bit.
"people dont have money to buy this because cost of living is through the roof"
so you expect that something like the ps5 pro, not a necessity, not the base device, pretty much a more powerful boutique item, cost the same as the base model (if you consider inflation people want this thing to be cheaper than a launch ps5).

I'm not saying that $700 or your local equivalent isnt expensive. Hell I'm from Brazil and this will probably cost me far more than any european or australian here.
But people really are complaining that a deluxe item costs a deluxe price.
If PC is that much better go buy that, if you think base ps5 is enough stick to that. If you are complaining about it this thing probably isnt for you in the first place.

Edit: I just want to say, it really is not that bad and it is most likely a fair price, you dont need a stand, stop bitching about that.

Re: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth 'Hugely Improved' on PS5 Pro, a 'Night and Day' Difference

@themightyant
Yeah, I get that but I still can't see how it would be a scam.
Digital Foundry in their Black Myth video used a RTX 3070 TI gpu as a direct point of comparison for what the ps5 pro would perform like, but thats a $600 graphics card.
People saying that you would be better off buying a computer at that price point are comparing a brand new (admitedly boutique) console to a bunch of used parts and cheap alternatives.
The whole converstation around PS5 is filled with inflamatory miscreants. and thats a shame because there is a legit conversation to be had about the price this thing is being released at.

@8bit4Life
I dont see how its overpriced.
It's a biiig jump in performance from base ps5 and specially when you consider that if you fix for inflation the $500 launch ps5 would be $620 nowadays, the $700 price point is not that bad.
Yeah the disc drive and base would cost you even more but the majority of gamers buy their games digitally and you dont really need the base at all.
I'm not saying it's not expensive, I just mean that its not a rip off like everyone else is trying to make this sound like.

Re: Helldivers 2 PSN Requirement Backtracked on PC After Brutal Review Bombing Campaign

LordOfTurnips

Its a shame that the lesson learned here is that pc players (the ones that are complaining) are the biggest fuvking crybabies ever and if you dont pander to these people your game might suffer.
It also shows a clear bias agains playstation because requiring an outside account to access a game is nothing new. Blizzard does it, ubisoft does it, 2k does it, microsoft does it, bethesda does it for ***** every singleplayer Doom for fs sake. But only now we are seeing this kind of backlash.

Re: Xbox Is Bringing Four Exclusives to PS5, But It Won't Say Which

@Kraven
You gotta read between the lines dude. A LOT was said but yes, nothing super clear, we can pretty much guess which games are coming but the way they worded it its clear that this is a test to see how these titles fair out on other consoles. I dont expect xbox to go back and port ***** like the original Gears of wars but if they see that you can make money on playstation, expect getting the likes of the Halo, Starfield and maybe even forza on playstation.

Re: 14 Games on the Way to PS Plus Extra, Premium Next Week

LordOfTurnips

@__jamiie like I already said, if you buy everything you want to play straight up the service isnt for you and you really are just wasting your money. Its not playstation's duty to cater to your needs and if you're like "nah, I already have what I want and the rest is *****" thats a problem with you and not the service.
Also if the only reason why you have the service is because of cloud saves, the monthly selectiom shouldnt bother you as you should only need the Essential tier.

Re: 14 Games on the Way to PS Plus Extra, Premium Next Week

LordOfTurnips

@SamMR if only there were 13 other games that are also free for subscribers.
I get that already owning a few games that are free that month can make you feel like your money isnt worth it, but people are complaining EVERY MONTH. And it makes no sense, if you're the type of person that just buys everything you want to play, the service will never be for you and you shouldnt really be complaining about it. (And I dont mean you specifically, just "you" as in anyone who is reading this)

Re: 19 Amazing Games Join PS Plus Extra, Premium Next Week

LordOfTurnips

1- Yes the price increase is inexcusable.
2- How is this a bad line up? GTA V for ps5, all 3 Shadowrun games, pretty much every mainline mega man game that isnt from the X series, Grime, Metal Hellsinger, Salt and sacrifice. Not only these are all VERY high rated games, they are bangers, they more than justifie getting a subscription.

I honestly dont know what people expect from ps+ anymore. like, I cant even speculate. its a varied line up with quality titles and people are still bitching.
Actually unsubscribe from the service, please, but stop bitching about it, this line up is nothing short than stellar.

Re: 14 PS Plus Extra, Premium Games Coming Next Week

LordOfTurnips

ok, Teardown, Dragons dogma, Superliminal, Grandia, Jet moto and Klonoa?
yall are crazy for thinking this is a bad month.
great selection even if I do own some of the titles already.
Dead Island riptide is quality trash, 100% guilty pleasure game so this month is so solid for me.
