Re: Red Dead Redemption 2's PS5 Version Could Be Announced Next Week

SBBuds

@Frmknst Doubt it, they stopped support a long while back. No more jobs/content/updates. I suppose they may add some gold to entice players back but I don't think the online will receive any content sadly. GTV is limitless as to what they can add but because of the setting in RDR2 it's limited. Unless they were to add flying horses with gatling guns lol.

Better load times are always better. Bit late in the day though. I can't see them making enough money back to cover the costs? Surely anyone who wants to play this game have played it already, great for people that own the game but I can't see many people buying it fresh for this, especially if they played it already. Great game imo, enjoying DG more though.
Also the most popular part (the online) stopped recieving support about a year ago..

Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for June 2025?

SBBuds

Not bad because of FBC but the rest are bad. All on GP as well so that doesn't help. The article said be brutally honest so, this service is terrible I'm partly to blame because i'm still going to pay for it. The only way to judge something you pay for is to compare it with its rival services and well, it's obvious so i'll leave it there.

Re: 'Competition Pushes Us to Innovate': Sony Weighs in on Xbox's Potential Exit from Console Business

SBBuds

MS aren't going anywhere. It's insane to me that it is even a thing people on PS are talking about right now. They don't even mention it on Xbox, it's unimaginable because things are so good over there and have been for a while. I can only only speak for myself but it feels like this whole debacle should be the other way round.
What are Sony going to do? (Rhetorical) but meh whatever. The gaming community never ceases to amaze me

Re: 9 PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for June 2025 Announced

SBBuds

@theSpectre Nope, i'm used to Extra being bad now, last game I played was Dave the Diver o.O .Good game, plan on going back but it's an indication of how useless the service is to me atm. I can't remember what I played before. The only way to judge something like Extra is to put it alongside its competition and no, no matter the general opinion on this site, that isn't the Switch 2

Re: Days Gone Dev Hit with Layoffs, Loses 30% of Staff

SBBuds

Damn that sucks, great game and enjoying the remaster. I see the usual hate for live games, sucks but there it is. All I will say is that consumers want live games so that's where the money is, it's not my fault or any other live players fault that the people in charge of giving us our chosen genres are greedy *****
They will always be my preferred genre, i'd take one good live game over ten good single player games. The industry just needs to sort itself out.

Re: 9 PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for June 2025 Announced

SBBuds

These are terrible. Maybe it's because I have GPU but these are terrible, might just be my taste but to me this feels like a joke. It isn't broken right? That top tier (I actually pay for ) has one game? And it's a PS2 game? I don't play anything PS3 or earlier, hell I don't like it when I play PS4 games.
If you're happy, more power to you, i'm not, i'm going to drop a tier. I'm not angry but even as a guy that just lets my subs tick away, you only need a couple of games a year to justify the price, Extra doesn't even justify that anymore. Maybe a shadow drop? /shrug something needs to happen in my opinion.

Re: Round Up: What Was Announced for PS5 at Xbox Games Showcase?

SBBuds

I don't care for first party games, just games and none blew me away. I've read up on them PS and Xbox (screw Nintendo) and literally nothing tickles my fancy. Practically all SP as well and the big event!! Another CoD, well blow me over with a feather, who wudda thunk it, there's another CoD coming out. Piss poor tbh. I'll just filter through them as they release, play the ones on GP and buy any of the others in a sale. The only one I may pay for is CoD, if it's any good this time, gotta get that MP fix.

Re: Days Gone Remastered Gets Another Update on PS5, Here Are the Patch Notes

SBBuds

Aww man love this game, playing through it atm for the first time. I only got back on PS when the Pro released so didn't play it the first time round. This is my favourite PS exclusive by far, to be fair i've not played them all yet but this is a grand game, love it, ticks all my SP boxes (well most). It's better than any game i've played on my Xbox in the last couple of years at least. They should absolutely make a sequel.

Re: Reaction: Sony Finally Understands the Assignment with One of the Best State of Plays of the PS5 Era

SBBuds

I don't watch these I prefer to read about them. Sounds like it was pretty decent, I personally like non exclusives, then we get to choose the best place to play our games. Lets face it, some of these will be on GP. It's a shame PS have nothing to fight GP with, I would much rather play on my PS. Some of these games coming to Premium would of been a better announcement for me. That's where the real competition is for PS. The services other platforms provide and PS really need to up their game.

Re: New PS5 Games for June and July 2025

SBBuds

Wuchang and Alters are on GP so that's where i'll be playing them. Wasn't to keen on DS1, good game, to slow, was planning on going back so don't know about DS2. Maybe after I finish the DG remaster after I finish Doom on GP. We'll see, i think that's a reasonably good list for a so called slow month, not bad at all.

Re: Reaction: There's Never Been a Better Time to Buy a PS5

SBBuds

@EfYI I agree, the Pro is a great console and is certainly worth the money (to me anyway) I will absolutely keep it, love it in fact.
It is the best console out there right now, best looking, powerfull and (contrary to popular opinion on Xbox) has the best controllers, they really are good controllers.

I just don't really agree with the articles claims that this is the best time to buy one, I think the only thing MS/Xbox have over their competitors is Gamepass unfortunately, I don't think they can keep it up that up forever though. Right now though GP is massive. I mean just today they added Metaphor Rephatazio (or whatever) and Spray paint simulator. Like I said, GP is the ONLY thing they have going for them, it can't last forever.

I love my PS though, wasn't trying to bag on PS, will be buying i girl on PS soon, I don't buy games on Xbox anymore, which is another negative for Xbox and GP. Just need to work my way through some GP games and i'll be back on Days Gone Remaster. No worries

Re: Reaction: There's Never Been a Better Time to Buy a PS5

SBBuds

I don't think it is, I bought my Pro at launch and have barely played it. Gamepass is the main appeal and smashes anything PS has to offer unfortunately. It's expensive to game on PS, anyone who for some reason doesn't have a console already would be much better suited to Xbox and Ultimate. Unless they are fine playing old games on Premium, or have the money to buy every game they like. This isn't a fact, just my opinion as I really thought I would smash my PS more and am quite disappointed tbh. Games for me now are more about the services, options for gaming, choices, the massive catalogues available, not just the price of entry and how much each game costs. That's the old restrictive way. Certainly how it feels to me.

Re: PS Plus Subscription Sale Takes 33% Off, But There's a Big Catch

SBBuds

@GeeEssEff Never been tempted, I don't know why but it just doesn't seem important. I don't do it for other things either, we have so many subscriptions in our house saving £40 a year just doesn't seem worth it when we already pay so much for everything else /shrug. I honestly don't have a decent reason as to why I don't bother but I probably never will. There's five of us in our house so you can imagine how many subs we have for everything.

Re: PS Plus Subscription Sale Takes 33% Off, But There's a Big Catch

SBBuds

I pay full wack every month for Ultimate/Premium. I cba'd looking for discounts, I just direct debit them out of the bank. Ultimate is worth it, Premium isn't, i'll still pay it though. They do this with everything from mobile phones to cable TV, existing customers don't get a look in so i'm not surprised Sony are doing it. Literally every corporation does it.

Re: Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time (PS5) - Level-5 Returns with Its Most Addictive RPG Yet

SBBuds

Sounds right up my ally (no pun intended) I prefer MP games and bought my Pro because I can turn crossplay off in MP games but alas it hasn't worked out that way. I love a grind so this might be for me, certainly sounds like something I would enjoy. RPG, open world, building, crafting, resource gathering, levels, unlocks and the more the merrier! Will buy this at some point, have plenty to play right now (on Xbox sadly) but i'll bang it on the wish list and get it at a later date. Good stuff.

Re: It's Over! FTC Drops Its Case Against Microsoft's Activision Buyout

SBBuds

I don't know if it will be good or bad in the end but if you play on Xbox right now it feels pretty damn good. Recently bought a Pro but Premium is awful. I thought i'd be playing my PS none stop but with Gamepass being so good lately it's hard to stop playing my Xbox. The only question and doubts I have is how long can MS keep it up? As soon as the games dry up on Gamepass then they have nothing else (kind of like PS and exclusives). If they can somehow keep the games coming at the same quality (which I doubt) forever that they have over the last few months, Xbox are onto a winner. It certainly feels like it is better for the customer on Xbox right now, like I say, I don't know about the long run.
