Re: Dire Estimated Gears of War: E-Day Sales Raise Queries About Last-Minute PS5 Cancellation

SMJ

@Lanmanna Because anything negative about XBOX is written about here regardless of whether or not it has anything to do with PlayStation. The disc to digital programme is very relevant to PlayStation because it's a defining thing that the competitor is doing to improve it's offering against PlayStation. How is that not relevant? And as PlayStation have decided to abandon discs with no opportunity to play them on PS6, it's relevant for next gen.

Gutted. I love my PSVR & PSVR2. Though it still baffles me why Sony bothered to release VR2 at all and then basically abandon it.

There were also so many quick wins available to them with enhanced VR1 ports.

It's such an amazing piece of hardware but I'm glad I decided a while ago to buy multiplatform games for my Quest 3 instead of it.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 652

XBOX - Deadpool just because it's disc to digital and I haven't played it years.

XBOX - DOA6LR because I love a good fighting game to take the stress away from life.

PSVITA - Uncharted Golden Abyss because it's my favourite game series and I've never completed it.

3DS - New Super Mario Bros 2 because it's the only mainline Mario game I haven't completed.

Atari 7800+ - Ninja Golf because it's exactly the kind of batshit I need in my life right now.

Re: Xbox Confirms Job Losses and Studio Changes, Activision to Make Next Halo Game

Whilst I think the new XBOX restructure is a positive thing, I've been reading more today about some of the specific layoff details.

I work in HR in the UK and some of the individual stories seem pretty shocking to me. One person in particular being promoted and then made redundant in the same week. That is p*ss poor behaviour from XBOX.

Re: Sony Seemingly Incentivising Digital PS5 Purchases with Cashback

I basically built my entire PSVR 1&2 libraries using PS Stars. It was such a good programme for gamers.

Nintendo stopping coins massively annoyed me because it was great that it allowed you to claim rewards on physical and digital purchases.

XBOX still has a good system in place because it's not just for purchases but other simple things like using the app or playing Jewel. It's quite easy to rack up points without even buying games (even though I've bought a ridiculous amount).
