I can't stand browsing the store I'm done I'm just going to now go out and find games 2nd hand on disc perm, I'm so fed up of the shovelware crap on the store filling up sales slots that could be used for other unknown indie title
Even the PS app has a bug were if your browsing the store say under sales and are scrolling near the end of the list or half way through. It duplicates the same games again then some different ones then the dame set of games again. Sick and tired of seeing AI generated assets flip BS that are clearly just for people to boost trophies they need to clean it up
Next game should be called Gran Turismo no number at the end and just a big so many years of content or Gran Turismo LIVE! or something. The next GT will be a hard one for them
They aren't sales any more even with PS+ there not worth it you can get them cheaper on disc if you look hard enough, how GTA5 is still £40 I don't know when it's always in the sales list every month.
And Borderlands 4 for £119 jesus get the F out of here, I got Farcry 4 3 months ago for like £3.79 now thats a sale but picked up the season pass 2 days ago for £3.30 as well. Star Wars Fallen Order I got for like £3.99 those are the prices for older games id like to see
@Slippship Steam sales haven't been revenant since the end of the Steam Flash sales now that's when steam was brilliant. I could spend £50 and I would have bought about 20 games well known ones as well
Snoopy in the next Twisted Metal I'm calling it now him riding around or laying on top of his dog kennel which has 4 wheels each with bodeseers on each wheel (metal arrows sticking out Roman army used them to conquer back in the day). And inside the kennel is his special the SNOOPY CANNON
Overtime is done like this on loads of industries it's not just gaming, yes it's absolutely ***** but endthe Devs know what the job needs and I'm sure they are getting paid a lot with perks I can't see Sony not given them better perks while they do it unlike some other stuidos
I'm playing Farcry 4 on PS5 and they patched that for 60fps and it's a brillent patch I tried to play the game ages ago but couldn't I enjoyed it on PC and playing at 60fps+ was great couldnt at 30. But it plays just as good as PC now I wish they would patch Ghost Recon Wildlands with 60fps as well
@MrHabushi AH have been lazy with listening to any of its player base from the first Patch that was just after release. Ever since the nerf patch they've been incompetent and still haven't fixed anything from the first patch that broke Bile Titans head hit box, chargers steps and screams don't work and haven't in over a year
They have a 360 turning circle when charging which they fixed and broke again, enemies clipping through rocks and buildings. And all this was added because of patches then they had to do a 60 day no wait 63 day wait patch to fix all the issues but ended up nerfing things.
They have people on Reddit and discord that instantly ban you for saying anything negative or asking for help on an issue, they'd rather hide it then acknowledge it. Both forms of media are ran but idiots and power hungry activist's
Most of the staff who knew the engine left with months of the games launch and they've taken ages to get to know the out of date engine which was dropped by it's credited when AH were in early development
And as for transparency they haven't been transparent ever until the either start losing players or Sony most likely step in
1,500 when it's Sony's own IP I understand the Halo one but Killzone and yes you can grind them all but it's ***** when it's 1,500 because you would have to buy 2 purchases of the mid tier coins or the highest one if you don't want to grind
I'm playing Star Wars Fallen Order its alright I'm not a massive SW fan but just fancied something different and it was on sale 2 months ago for like £3.50 or under £4
The AI is a scam where its unregulated and they can do what they want as they pass all that money around, i really hope the bubble bursts but it wont be anytime soon unless someone does something to make the world take notice
Every game now will be full of MTs and LBs They will be pushing for IPs to become live service to bring in money
They should sell off some IPs that would never take the Live service part and give it to someone who will maybe do good. I expect NFS to be an online game and he'll probably SSX with boards that you pay real cash with.
It prove who ran EA into the ground shareholders and leaches looking for a which buck, and unfortunately that's the entire gaming industry now
Well I downloaded the Slim line Beta last night after quitting the game about 2 months ago, it'd 23.5GB in size which insane and realisation how stupid it was for them to do what they did based on a 10% mechanical HDD user base (according to tech data they saw).
Before all the patches in October it ran really good for me on PC with my Ryzen 5600/RX6600 8GB, 32GB DDR4 at 1080p. I was getting 80fps average everywhere in game even with the chaos going on from Strategems going off, then it was just tanking FPS after 10mins of play and I mean really really bad that it was also giving me input lag.
Beta version seems to be working great I still get the stutter during the hellpod drop scene, but now getting 80fps and I've done 4 matches last night. Also never checked if my GPU hotspot was as high on this beta compared to normal pushes it to 83 degrees at the junction spot (centre) which is fine and 63 outter edge
The big question is if they decided to keep that branch or swap it over wil patches just do it all over again. But I think they are going to keep the beta branch for SSD users
@Sweetz Apparently they got that from technical data, but it's an excuse they just didn't want to do anything to fix it. I wonder if this is Sony stepping in and getting Nixxies to help because on PC players have dropped out from lack of content but mostly performance issues
Yet if you stay with the main game version they released a new patch today and it upped the install size from 134 to 155GB ?????
I'm downloading the BETA now seeing if they fixed the massive stuttering issues with the HELLPOD drop screen and then after 10 mins of playing on the main game branch. The game would tank in FPS and my controller wouldn't work and LAG big time
After the GTA Defective edition shambles why would anyone think they would care about the quality of re-releases when they don't it's all about GTA6 and profiting from anything they csn
Cities Skylines 2 launch was a disaster Console version seems to be delayed infinetly Colossal Order who made CS2 are leaving Paradox to do their own thing and now this
Destiny 2 problems started when they sunsetted content and then completely got rid of the base story a year after it launched. It made it difficult for new players to come in and for those who took a break
If you did the latter like me took a break you were left behind with "WTF" am I doing when you jumped back in. New players had to read the original launch story from cards they made it impossible to start from the very beginning and play your own way
You either play how they wanted you too or you didn't and just got lost in all the *****. Content is now lacking and was rehashed stuff over and over, they still sell Forsaken but now as a weapon pack and I can't see a Destiny 3 because most of the team that did 1 and 2 have gone. But don't worry Pete Parsons can choose a different car to drive each day or one to polish
OMG they haven't even fixed the performance issues yet players even said they would gladly wait for content in order for it to be fixed and again Arrowhead haven't listened at all.
I'm pretty much done with this game 200hrs on PS5 and about 250 on Steam I've had my fill, the performance on PC is shockingly bad and I've moved on
PS5 has not been the best generation take in the factors of COVID, price, availability, development issues with games during that time. And a few choices from Sony themselves really had made this gen GOOD in my view.
There leap from PS4 to 5 wasn't that big and to be honest I wasn't expecting it as even GPUs at that time for PC really didn't either. Plus the fact Devs were getting lazy with optimization and pushing for what PS5 could achieve also played a factor.
Then PS4 had a far bigger user base at launch and they had to support that for many years which also held it back. I see 2028 the year for PS6 to be the best time to launch because PS5 really can have a good 3 more years and hopefully they will use it to it's full potential
