@CielloArc Thanks for the empathy. I've had Sony consoles since the PS1 and this is what drove me over the edge. I see no reason to own a PS console over a PC now.
@Oram77 Nope, I don't think I will. You're the kind of person who likes holding the moral ground, yet you're the one who incited me by starting with a Xbox rumour that has not been confirmed. You tried to reason through speculation and completely ignored my Switch 2 point.
If you don't like my reply, don't come after me, clearly you have thin skin.
@Oram77 You're not informing me. It's not confirmed yet and I already said I'll change IF Xbox goes physical. I also said I'm buying a Switch 2. You're just trying to rain on my parade because you're a Sony fan.
Destiny is such a great franchise. Sony blew £400 million on ths most mediocre game ever, but they can't restructure Bungie and add help from another studio to create Destiny 3.
The acquisition was a blunder, but Sony did nothing to steer the ship in the correct path.
@StrickenBiged Where does your 25% poorer statistics come from? The institute of making it up as I go along?
The average Brit isn't 25-30% poorer than the average American once you account for healthcare, education costs, pensions, annual leave and other social transfers. Using raw GDP-per-capita figures as a representative for disposable income is not how it works.
@Biolan It's absolutely not like Skyrim in space. The sandbox was the most interesting and exciting part of Skyrim and Starfield removed that with tiny, repetitive, randomly generated planets with almost nothing to do in them.
@Oram77 For the sake of Remedy I hope you're right. Linear action games are popular again and maybe games like James Bond might even help a game like Max Payne being popular
@Swandivetotheasphalt That is an extremely cynical and incorrect take.
Destiny fans got tired of bad DLCs, predatory micro transactions and content vaulting.
This update brought so much to get in the game that it's actually fun again. If Bungie knew how to balance free and paid content, fans wouldn't have left in the first place.
Destiny is a franchise with huge potential, it just needs better and less greedy direction.
Not to be a Debbie downer, but why are the graphics so brown and washed. Everything looks very muted and without much personality. Kind of the opposite of Mass Effect
@Dubplant The game is exactly that. It has some pretty amazing moments and great combat, but also really boring quests and a few really bad and annoying moments.
How much you enjoy verges on how much you focus on playing the fun part of the game.
@Oram77 Sure, it's definitely not the worst generation, for me it was the PS3 for Sony, but I don't think Sony ever had a bad gen.
But carrying it over has a lot more impact when you can play games from the previous generation on the new console. I could just transfer my library of hundreds of games from my PS4 straight to my PS5, that's incredibly convenient. PS3 to PS4 did not have the same convenience.
@Vertere Ah, I see. I think my point wasn't clear then. I don't think the live service failures affected the sales at all. What I think is that Sony failed a lot this generation, live services being an example. For me the got carried by third party and the legacy of the PS4. I think this generation's Sony made bad decisions overall and we'll see the consequences of it on the next gen.

@BentIeyma CEX hasn't being doing great, I honestly think it might end up with them shutting down.

Re: PlayStation Consoles to Stop Getting Disc-Based Physical Releases in 2028
@Onelastgo Yeah, unfortunately it's looking grim. I'll resist as long as I can though.
Re: Sony Takes Social Media Time Out After Controversially Killing Physical Games
They're b*stards. I'll do my part to see them crash and burn.
Re: PlayStation Consoles to Stop Getting Disc-Based Physical Releases in 2028
@Yor-sama Then why you're calling me a liar? I collect physical and have been collecting for decades. You should be on my side.
Ownership is being taken away from us, it's an absolute nightmare.
Re: PlayStation Consoles to Stop Getting Disc-Based Physical Releases in 2028
@Yor-sama And you're the easily manipulated majority. Congrats.
Re: Reaction: PlayStation's Burned Through the Last Remaining Goodwill of Its Fans
@Bizzy I didn't know that. Thanks for the warning.
I still think it's good to reply to him, as it gives a voice to us who are deeply saddened and will take action against this situation.

Re: PlayStation Consoles to Stop Getting Disc-Based Physical Releases in 2028
@Oram77 Yet you tried to put me down when I clearly reasoned my other options. Maybe next time think before replying.
Re: Reaction: PlayStation's Burned Through the Last Remaining Goodwill of Its Fans
@Dogbreath I'll be boycotting it, don't put words in my mouth because your first instinct is the cowardly one. Not everyone thinks like you.
To me a PC just became objectively superior.
Re: Reaction: PlayStation's Burned Through the Last Remaining Goodwill of Its Fans
Not buying a PS6, I collect games and if they're going digital a PC is just objectively superior.
This was the last straw for me after I owned every Sony console since the PS1.

Re: PlayStation Consoles to Stop Getting Disc-Based Physical Releases in 2028
@Yor-sama I collect physical. If you don't like it it's your problem. Fools like you are the reason we own nothing.
Re: PlayStation Consoles to Stop Getting Disc-Based Physical Releases in 2028
@Oram77 Is the other option the PS6. Stop being partisan. Sony couldn't care less about you.
Re: PlayStation Consoles to Stop Getting Disc-Based Physical Releases in 2028
Sony can f off. I'm buying a Switch 2 and if Xbox announces physical on its next console I'm moving to their ecosystem.
Absolutely dirty, disgusting, corporate move.

Re: UK GTA 6 Buyers Pleasantly Surprised by No PS5 Pre-Order Price Hike
Whoop-dee-doo. They're still locking single player content for an extra £20 and releasing a non physical version.
Pretty horrible industry practices on all fronts.
Re: Physical Retailers Refuse to Sell GTA 6 Over Decision to Skip Discs
It's a valiant effort but unfortunately it won't accomplish anything. Most people are ok with this and physical media is on its way out.
Re: GTA 6 Confirmed to Be an $80 Game
And the suckers will gobble it up.
Re: Uproar as Halo PS5 Demands 2 PS Plus Subscriptions for Local Co-Op
@For-Kier Someone complaining about complaining therefore making their point moot? No.
Re: Uproar as Halo PS5 Demands 2 PS Plus Subscriptions for Local Co-Op
Microsoft seems averse to making money.
Even when they have an easy win, they still make a decision that puts them in a bad light.

Re: Starfield Patch Promises to Fix Its Biggest Crashing Issue on PS5, Two Months After Launch

Re: The First PS5 Game Delay Out of September 2026 Has Been Confirmed
@Oram77 It almost feels like Remedy is doomed to release great games that won't sell well for numerous reasons.
Re: Crimson Desert Hits Six Million Sales Milestone Inside Three Months
Love it, if it wasn't for Destiny 2 this would be the game I would be playing for 3 months non stop. It's such an easy game to jump back in too.

Re: Final Fantasy 7 Revelation Will Address Rebirth's Excessive Minigame Problem
@Nei You're forced to play some of them during the main story. But to be fair, the original game did the same.
Re: Mass Effect Fans, Feast Your Eyes on a Full 20 Minutes of Exodus Gameplay
@NoCode23 Thanks, I thought I was going crazy since nobody else pointed it out. It looks like the brown games we made fun of in the PS3/ Xbox 360 era.
Re: A Brand New Final Fantasy RPG Has Been Announced for PS5
"So, Square Enix finally decided to stop making HD-2D RPGs with crap names and just name its latest one Final Fantasy." Brutal, but also true.
Re: 'There Is Only One Ending': Final Fantasy 7 Revelation Director Confirms Linear Story
Hopefully the original ending. These games have added so much unnecessary bs to the story just to give Sephiroth more screen time.
Re: Jason Momoa Is Reportedly No Longer Involved with the Upcoming Helldivers Movie
Oh, noo! Anyway...
Re: Mass Effect Fans, Feast Your Eyes on a Full 20 Minutes of Exodus Gameplay
Not to be a Debbie downer, but why are the graphics so brown and washed. Everything looks very muted and without much personality. Kind of the opposite of Mass Effect
Re: Remember PS5 Launch Game Godfall? Its Developer Returns with a Slick Action Shooter
Godfall had a lot of potential and visually it was amazing.
The story was awful, maps very repetitive and gameplay a bit shallow.
You could see the potential, but it was never realized.
Re: Persona 6 Details Confirm Japanese School Setting, 'Supernatural Adventure', and 'Bold Story'
It sounds like every other Persona game and I'm ok with that.
All the Personas have similar settings but their themes are really unique.
Re: Poll: Who Had the Best Not-E3 Livestream This Week?
Summer games fest and it's not even close. It's the only one that had a lot of unexpected announcements
Re: Bungie Fixes Marathon Mess by Giving Away Full Game to Fans Who Purchased Due to Misleading PS5 Store Description
Very good PR move and everyone's happy.
Next step, Destiny 3. (Not gonna happen, but one can hope)
Re: Poll: How Would You Rate Summer Game Fest 2026?
This might be one of the best in history. So many unexpected games announced and the majority looks great.
Re: Netflix's Highly Successful Devil May Cry Series Will Return for One Final Season
Thank goodness. What an absolute trash fire this series was.
Publishers need to be more careful of who they hand their IPs to.
Re: Crimson Desert Has Pinball After PS5 Patch 1.10, Because of Course It Does

Re: Crimson Desert Has Pinball After PS5 Patch 1.10, Because of Course It Does
Great game and they're only making it better. For now it's the GOTY for me, but it's a stacked year.
Re: Another Marathon Mess as Bungie Changes Misleading PS5 Store Description
I guess they should change their name to Blungie.
I'll see myself out.

Re: Live Service MMO Horizon Steel Frontiers Delayed Until 2027
@AdamNovice Especially considering Sony is not making it. More likely than if they were.
Re: Live Service MMO Horizon Steel Frontiers Delayed Until 2027
It's going to be another Sony resounding live service success!
Re: PS5 Price Hike Has Flushed UK Hardware Sales Down the Toilet
@Vertere Ah, I see. I think my point wasn't clear then. I don't think the live service failures affected the sales at all.
