Re: This Is Why Call of Duty Is Not Gonna Stop Launching on PS5

It would have been interesting to see how much that 82% ps sales figure might have changed if Xbox didn't put it on Game Pass, meaning they have to buy a copy (be it digital or physical)

I'm sure it would have still sold more on Playstation due to the much bigger install base but still would have made a better comparison

Re: Unfortunately, PS5's Disc Drive Add-On Shortage Doesn't Seem to Be Getting Better

I think in an ideal world Sony would like it to be all digital but in reality they would have a riot on their hands if they actually tried to go down that route.

Don't get me wrong, eventually gaming will end up that way but I think the PS6 may be a little too soon to get away with it.

If it doesn't have a built-in disc drive option it will 100% have a drive that can be added on for those that want one (in my opinion)

Re: Do You Put Your PS5 in Rest Mode or Shut It Down?

Member_the_game

I mostly put it in rest mode as it will still allow my controller to charge.

It does however depend on what game I'm playing, if I'm playing something that's connected to a server (IE black ops 6), the game will have timed out when you fire it back up so in that situation I'd probably just completely power it down.

If its a game where I can literally pick up and carry on from where I left it then it's rest mode all the way

Re: My First Gran Turismo Available This Friday for Free on PS5, PS4

Member_the_game

Very annoying (with the main game) that I can't delete my progress and start the game again from scratch.

I played it alot when I first got it but then haven't touched it for a few years, i attempted to play it again recently but it was hard to get upto speed and remember where I was up to so ideally just wanted to start again from the beginning.

So frustrating that it's impossible to do this

Re: New PlayStation Handheld Looking Even More Likely as Digital Foundry Backs Up Reports

Member_the_game

I'm not so sure myself I'd want one.

I always have romantic ideas of playing handheld games, it gives me a nice warm nostalgic feeling, but in reality I just never actually play them.

As a Nintendo switch owner I'd have to say my Switch has spent 95% of it's life in it's dock and been used as a home console.

The other 5% will have been when I've took it away on holiday to play on the plane

Re: Feature: Happy 30th Birthday to PlayStation

Member_the_game

I'll always remember the PS1 as being the first console I bought with my own money. Well kind of, I'd collected all my birthday money and went and bought it myself if that counts.

It was summer of 1996 and I was 14 at the time so not quite old enough to "earn" my own money.

The reason I remember that it was 1996 was because I remember buying it during the Euro 96 Football tournament.

The 2 games I bought to go with it were Adidas Power Soccer and Ridge Racer Revolution.

I played those games for hours and hours and also got a surprising amount of milage out of the Demo disc that came with the console, it had Destruction Derby, wipe out and Jumping Flash to name a few (all of which I eventually went on to purchase as full games)

Re: Astro Bot Blasts Past Elden Ring, Currently 2024's Highest-Rated Release

@JustCameHereToSay

Maybe it's just my general love for Mario games but I'd still argue that Super Mario Odyssey is the better game.

That's not taking anything away from Astro Bot as they're both 10 out of 10's in my opinion, but if I had to erase one from existence and could only keep one I'd definitely have to keep Mario Odyssey

Thankfully I'm speaking hypothetically and in reality should never have to make such a decision 🤣🤣

Re: 74% of PS5 Fans Would Be Interested in a Handheld

@Haruki_NLI

In fairness I was mostly just joking .

Still it would be nice if a UK based website such as this one would use their local currency as standard practice.

If they want to add $$$ & €€€ prices as well I've no problem with that but there's no excuse not to use Pound sterling prices from the start

Re: 13 PS5, PS4 Games Set to Leave PS Plus Extra, Premium Next Month

Member_the_game

I've never played any of these games and have no desire too either.

This happens every month when I read the list of games that are leaving. There's never any games on there that I'm particularly interested in.

I've come to the conclusion that I'm basically subscribing to PS Plus extra so that my wife can play Uno 🤣.

I think next year I'll just buy Uno for her instead lol
