Re: NBA 2K21 Pledges Unskippable Ad Error Won't Reoccur

OneManDroid

... I can honestly say I'll never purchase a 2K game... they're just the worst... they're purely a money-grabbing corporate machine designed to suck every penny from you whilst making 'quality' games like WWE, etc... you react with your wallets... no thanks!

Re: Sony: 'We Do Not Record' PS4 Party Chats

OneManDroid

@Ggmate I preordered because I knew if I didn't it would be months before everything becomes available again (especially with the pandemic, etc). And at the time of preorder there was significantly less info than there is now, but yet Sony was expecting fans to buy regardless (the UI looks stunning, why didn't they show this before preorder) I'm a paying customer and entitled to feel how I like... the fact that I do criticise Sony should show I'm not blindly loyal, and without negative feedback, companies don't change. It's not hurting you directly so please respect everyone else's opinions rather than just attack those that differ from yours .Let's leave it at that eh?

Re: Sony: 'We Do Not Record' PS4 Party Chats

OneManDroid

@Ggmate it's more than these little bits... removal of wishlist, no official information of the console (the teardown in Japanese, with little / no fanfare) - the reason it has so many views is that people are clamouring for information on a product they've paid £450+ for!

The price hike of 1st party games (vs 'free' on M$), the price hike of PS+, the reduction of games with PS+, poor PS NOW value, no news on if there's a new PS Now, does PS5 even support Atmos? We don't know... it's the arrogance that people are upset about... for all M$'s faults, they're at least being more 'honest and open' this time around... and even though they're going down the Netflix subscription model... for the average gamer and newcomer it's a vastly better value-for-money proposition... don't get me wrong, my PS5 is preordered, and I've even got the headphones, charger, media remote control and camera(!) I'm all-in with PS5, but I feel like I've been cheated and completely undervalued / ignored by Sony this time around... and that will sting for a while and make myself and others think twice next time around...

Re: Sony: 'We Do Not Record' PS4 Party Chats

OneManDroid

... I remember getting my PS3 against all advice (XB had better cross-platform performance, PS3 was difficult to code for, etc. etc.) and even though it was severely behind XB there was something special about...

... PS4 came and because XB forgot about the gamers and went down the road of TVTVTV, trying to prevent swapping games, pointless Kinect, etc. - Sony wiped the floor with them by doing very little...

... and now we see what happens when Sony forget about gamers, treat them with contempt, tell them nothing and then remove useful features, whilst breaking others... all weeks before the launch of a new system...

..it's swings and roundabouts I guess, but Sony deserve one hell of a slow hand clap for how they've acted over the last few months and how they continue to act... XB might have dropped the ball with Halo, but they're sure as hell making it up everywhere else...

Re: PlayStation Website Launches New Library Page for Your PS5, PS4 Games

OneManDroid

@thefourfoldroot thanks for this... I mean if it's true, what the hell are Sony playing at?!? instead of improving the wishlist, they get rid of this feature (which SO MANY PEOPLE USE!) I mean, I must have about 80 games in mine, it's great for keeping track of PSVR titles, etc. etc. without having to trawl through pages of "sales" that mostly include additional top-up purchases for games..

They're really scr3wing us fans over for this coming next gen.. it's as if they want us all to move to M$...

Re: PS5 Teardown Video Gets Up Close and Personal with the Console

OneManDroid

.. surprising there's no 'optical out' port... but I suppose that's dying a bit now... now if someone could just confirm it supports Atmos...

so one type A for psvr, one for camera, one for additonal storage, and type c for twin charger? that's a full house! what about 3D headphone dongle - where will that go?!?! :S

Re: Spider-Man PS5 vs PS4 Comparison Shows Off a Generational Leap

OneManDroid

Why has this been left for the community to compare? Why hasn't Sony created a video like this to explain? It's getting to breaking point with all this silence... I'm starting to regret my preorder.. and that's a bad and unnecessary feeling for a loyal PS gamer.. It's the arrogance that Sony is giving off that's really hitting the hardest.. Coupled with more PS+ games that are on PS Now.. And it feels like we're being taken for a ride..

And these differences? Are they really worth charging us for? After letting us preorder blindly? Not convinced. It's a cynical cash-in..

Re: PS4 to PS5: All Games with Confirmed Free Upgrades

OneManDroid

Honestly, Push Square needs to remove Control and NBA2K21 - these aren't 'FREE' upgrades at all, they have to be purchased if you already own the original... these are higher priced SKUs and therefore NOT free upgrades... come on Push Square... sort it out!

Re: Sony Confirms Spider-Man PS5 Remaster Is Not a Free Upgrade

OneManDroid

@Matroska I'm talking about support for PSP, PlayTV, Eye of Judgment, PS Move, even Vita.. All unsupported or forgotten, all eventually abandoned, and to hell with customers who supported and bought into these.. The PS exclusive price hike, the lack of allowing payable upgrade, the lack of any meaningful console information, the preorder shambles, the poor PS Now offering, the price hike for PS+ whilst reducing amount of games And giving games that are already on PS Now.. All of this adds up to not giving a fig about your customer... It's like MS and Sony are reversing roles for the next gen..

Re: Sony Confirms Spider-Man PS5 Remaster Is Not a Free Upgrade

OneManDroid

Sony is fast becoming the anti - consumer company it was during the PS3 era.. They're damaging their brand so badly at the moment, and destroying all the goodwill created from the PS4 era.. It's so sad to see this continuous downward spiral.. To do this with one of their own exclusives is just bonkers.. "pay more, pay again, pay twice!" or "free with Game Pass" let's see which option the next gen goes for...

Re: Marvel's Spider-Man Has Been Completely Remastered for PS5

OneManDroid

... Wow, so to give even more value to customers, they're charging us again to upgrade Sony exclusive games.. slow hand clap could next gen get worse for us? Just wow. Unjustifiable (yet of course it will be defended) who hasn't got all the dlc, etc already? Us Sony fans get sh@fted again..

Re: PS5 Accessories Pre-Orders: Where to Buy PS5 Accessories

OneManDroid

I played "accessory bingo" this morning on Amazon... ended up placing 6 or 7 orders! (I got a FULL HOUSE though!) xD
(each accessory popped up every 30 mins or so...) it was a pointlessley daft slog though!

I'm really surprised the twin charger went so quickly... I expected the headphones to fly! (and yeah, I'm probably the only one who got the media controller and camera...) but with PSVR2, etc. - it pays to get accessories early!

Re: PS5 User Interface Reveal Is Coming, Says PlayStation Boss

OneManDroid

... ANY information would be good... Will it support Atmos? Yes / no? Will sharing to YouTube, etc. be easier and in higher res than 1080? Yes / no? What will PS Now look like now that PS+++ has been announced? Will PS+ still provide 2 old shooters a month, or games that are already on PS Now?!? Do you really need that dongle with the 3D headset? Come on Sony, you're asking people to pre-order (which I have) but giving us NOTHING. Treating us like mugs, and it's not amusing.

Re: Sony Won't Follow Game Pass Model on PS5, Doesn't Believe It's Sustainable

OneManDroid

"it doesn't make sense to give PS players value for money, in fact we're increasing the prices of all 1st party games just to show how much we care.." (and this coming from someone who has just splashed out 700 squid for PS5 and accessories)

There's no doubt PS are taking us for granted in the next gen and it's going to cost them dearly. It's PS3 days all over again...

You don't need to include first-party games in PS Now, you just need weekly content and NEWER games... it's an absolute shambles at the moment... I bought it in the recent sale and it's just sad-looking and obsolete when compared to anything else out there...

Re: Talking Point: Did the PS5 Showcase Event Deliver?

OneManDroid

@Friendly @Col_McCafferty

People, come on now.. you're frightening the kids!!
Haha, seriously though...
a) Game Pass is AWESOME - fact. It's cheap, it's updated WEEKLY and regularly contains brand new releases (Hotshot Racing for example - available day one, 2 Point Hospital, etc. and not to mention all MS Studio games, Forza, etc. etc. - amazing value)
b) Sony are definitely going for the "cinematic AAA exclusives" to sell its new console - that's a good thing! "Ghosts", "Death", "Last 2", "SPIDEY" for goodness' sake - utterly amazing experiences.. it's what "next gen" gaming is all about. Unforgettable gaming.
c) PS5 launch has been a disaster - terrible comms, taking customers for granted, just expecting them to pre-order, expecting them to search in blogs, sites, etc to get info on pre-orders, not showing UI, not showing value for money, not showing PS Now variant, etc.etc. - it's really poor and I think will damage PS5 a lot
d) I've just pre-ordered a PS5 and all accessories (there goes 700 squid) and I've no doubt in a year or two I'll get XBSX - but I think MS have already won next gen.. more coherent, MUCH better value, just as good specs, and first-party games coming in the next year or so that will in effect be FREE with Game Pass... unless PS stop sitting on their hands (or take their hands away from their ears / eyes whilst shouting "I'm not listening, la la la") they simply can't compete next gen.. Hiking up the prices of games like Demon's Souls to £70/80? Utterly ridic. And this is coming from a 'fan'... :/

Re: PS Plus Collection Announced for PS5 Launch, Subscribers Get Access to Blockbuster PS4 Games

OneManDroid

... so what about PS Now subscribers? Many of these games are already on Now.. will it be merged? Will PS Now get more games to replace these? What value has PS Now got? Who knows? Sony isn't telling us... honestly... it's feeling more and more like the PS3 release all over again... after getting it right this gen.. they've completely dropped the ball for the next gen - completely reverted to taking its consumers for granted and messing them around (pre-orders? what pre-orders?)...

Re: Reaction: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of Today's PS5 News

OneManDroid

it feels exactly like the PS3 launch... and we know how that went.. Sony have already lost this coming generation... resting on its laurels, taking advantage of its customers and providing poor value for money... simply not aggressive or imaginative enough.

Bring back Kaz!

Oh well... bring on next next gen! (maybe we'll start hitting 60FPS / 4K as standard then...)

Re: Hotshot Racing Out Today on PS4, Devs Already Working on Free DLC

OneManDroid

.. Bought it.. Love it.. Played it all weekend.. Peeves me that it's free on game pass day one.. Whilst PS Now languishes so far behind.. Honestly they need to step it up for PS5, or they're going to lose, especially now EA Pass is now free on XB, and PS owners are going to be charged MORE for it.. It's all about value for money, and PS is losing its value fast.. still preordering on Wednesday after announcement.. But it sticks in the craw a lot how much we're being ripped off...

Re: Godfall Gets Its Best PS5 Trailer Yet

OneManDroid

... It looks "fun", but combat simplicity concerns me, it looks like just a handful of moves per weapon, which is likely to get old fast.. Definitely waiting for reviews first, but it's on my radar at least..

Re: Fans Think Demon's Souls PS5 Is Close to Release

OneManDroid

... I still have my original Asian import of DS on PS3.. I can't play it anymore, but it's a reminder of a gaming experience I'll never forget.. Running across the ramparts with that effing dragon.. Wearing that hat.. That lift.. The dread of what's coming next.. And of course, those ruddy skeletons! Amazing stuff. Finally a game worthy of a remaster...
