I generally wish Xbox would do the same and do exclusives again for its own system and pc of course we need a competitive market again sorry we do those that wish Xbox to be dead are idiots
Competition is what's needed and it's clear for Xbox it was Bond or Spencer the reason is started going down the pan.
For Sony I bought all the games I could on pc as well as PS5 but I'm happy for console exclusives again only
@Almost_Ghostly I played a good 30hrs of it when it launched and it was good for first few hours but the world and solar empty with the same ***** over and over got boring
If anything it's 6/10 Todd Howard was hoping for the modders to do loads for him and even they said the game is crap. Yes there are some mods but not as many as a lot of people were expecting compared to Skyrim after launch
I still remember to this day the delay of Fallout 3 GOTY edition that it was held back to have more polish, I got it new for £20 as I had finished the main story but never tried the DLC. It was cheaper to get the GOTY version as the DLC separately was above £20, anyway it was a disaster the game would lock up every 20 mins because if you played on your main save from the main game. The creation engine had a major malfunction with game saves over 10mb which mine was so you have to make a new save every time I had to set a stop watch to save just before it would crash sometimes it mostly did but on rare occasions it didn't.
Anyway let's see if this so called polish is better than that disaster, I got this free with my GPU when it came out it was boring after 2 weeks, tried it again last week and it's still boring
That means they will be even more crap and those that don't know this story will be none the wiser until the last min when it breaks and their being told to call TLC customer support
BS the only way it will be cheaper is if the AI bubble bursts and DRAM prices drop but that won't happen anytime soon and when it does prices will never get to what they was for a while because they will make sure of it
I also don't think the PS6 will be a massive leap on next gen because of upscaling a tech that was originally created during COVID to help people with older cards that couldn't originally buy a new one due to scalpers and the chip shortage.
Now it's used all the time and granted it works for some but it also makes some Devs lazy in some ways.
I would love for Phantasy Star Online Episode 1 and 2 to come back out of nowhere yes you can still play it with a few workarounds but god I played that game to death on coop with my friend on GameCube
Even though I got it free with my GPU years ago I won't bother I found it boring, but to those that want to play hope you enjoy it. Luckily I bought a Crucial P500 1TB last year for my PS5 for £80 on Amazon it's now worth £168 new lol
@Vyse_the_Legend From what I've been reading it seems Sega are reluctant to release any more older titles because of the devalue it's brought to the Mega Drive classics over the years why they delisted them.
Yet it's been 25 years since Skies came out yesterday the GameCube one as well but if they released it now on modern systems with QOL improvements it would sell like crazy. I don't think it would devalue it the only reason the MD games were is because Sega (whoever was in charge at that time) was seriously milking those games like repeatedly
@Chosen-Libra I too was taken back because yes PS5 does play PS3 games perfectly fine, I can't say why they did maybe they only have just decided to upgrade who knows
I bet a lot of used PS5s will now be going up in price in 2nd hand shops I'll be picking up a lot more PS4 disc based games and PS5 ones now more than ever as 2nd hand games will be going up. Hell today I was in CEX and the line to buy was crazy I was browsing some Xbox One and PS4 games section and 4 people out of that buy que bought PS4s.
I picked up Driveclub for £4 and a couple of people who work in my local branch are chatty and I asked have you sold a lot of PS5s due to the price rise. They said no but a lot of PS4 has flown off the shelves last 2 days that they are asking for some more to sell from other shops
Blame the orange man in the US and then Nvidias CEO and his partner Sam Altman of OpenAI basically pairing up to basically take all the DRAM stock for the next 2 years which has now basically pushed out the consumer that made Sony in the first place
Also just go on the net and find Nvidias CEO saying "He loves there's lack of dram (worded a bit different) because it means his company basically earns more money"
Blame the orange one and his friend Ben for lying or what to make him attack because ever since he got in power everything has gone up, and the rich are getting richer and us working folk or people who get by are getting out priced from the stuff we used as entertainment and hobbies
This is a test for it's handheld that's coming in the near future but it's also probably a possible written law from either the EU or manh countries that have a energy efficiency law.
And Sony showing they have added a feature it will please those people that demand electronics become more efficient if they can
I got it for father's day after launch I played about 2hrs of the story didn't finish it and haven't been on it since. Think I'm going to buy Tekken 3 classic
I hate browsing the store I really do matter where I go about 10 lines down it starts to show the shovelware crap, the new one that had loads was Stroke the (insert animal here) it was a joke theirs about 10 of them and their on sale. How can they not know it's on sale for like 59p it's ridiculous theirs still loads of work to do to clear it up
I generally fell sorry for Devs who have a good indie game and get pushed down for this *****
The dashboard was still signed in last night around 8-10pm but it kept saying was offline in games I platted Batman The Enemy Within last night and it couldn't do the stats like all Telltale games do.
Then went on Ghost Recon Wildlands for a bit and it kept popping up I was offline then back on again, really didn't care as I don't have PS+ anyway so couldn't play online
Mine died in January double beep flashing red light and I've no idea how to repair and their isn't many around in the city where I live that fix PS3 nows
They could add to 10 games you want perm on your home or actually add folders like PS4 I still don't understand how they never added that feature when PS3 and 4 bloody had it and it was brilliant.
They don't care for retro or classic but if Microsoft do something with it's backwards compatibility program or bring a massive library available with the next Xbox then that's when you will Sony have to respond
@Luigia Shinobi is a character that lies with the 80s and 90s players, I haven't played it yet but I am going to buy it I love Shinobi. The PS2 game was absolutely rock hard once that sword woke up draining your life they had to make the 2nd game Nightshade easier because of the complaints
Premium isn't even worth it, the lower tier is enough for me but I've stopped my sub because I don't play online hardly and I still see decent discounts not being one
I just buy the classics but there's hardly any because Sony doesn't like backwards compatibility if they could get rid tomorrow they would do
I bought it last night for £3.74 on sale currently playing the Ezio Trilogy again so I'll probably play this after
I also remember when it came out I didn't fully finish Black Flag on PS3 and when I found out about a PS4 version I was a bit pissed off. It was the end of me never playing an AC game ever I got burned out, started Ezio Trilogy last year and I'm enjoying it again so hopefully Unity will be good
Seems all Sentry's now are behind a warbond when last year we lost twice for the Gas Mines but then did the inevitable and got them and did the other part of the mission together. Apart from the experimental Napalm Gatling Barrage which will probably be also being a warbond they could have added a new section to our ships to buy one time mods like Napalm ammo for that Oribital Strat and to use our money that we always max out
I was surfing like night I bought AC Unity for £3.74 and was looking for some more games and I'm sorry the store is full again of shovelware again. It's clear that the ones been removed have now been replaced with more crap
