Re: Black Ops Fans Sure Showed Up for PS5's Overpriced Call of Duty Ports

Shinymoon

Unfortunately, even though I love physical games; I and the rest that like them are in the minority especially when very old COD ports sell this much.

I've always liked COD though and idc what people have to say or think on the internet, I personally didn't bother with these ports since I already have the games and there were no improvements, I have more of an attatchment to Modern Warfare over Black Ops since that was my first COD game, I'd like a remake or remaster of the old Modern Warfare trilogy on PS5 and the good thing is I'm sure it's on the way after how successful these ports are at least for me anyway.

I also have to remind myself that these sites and social media is a very very small portion of the gaming population. MW4 is at the top two or three of pre-orders behind GTA 6 even though it doesn't come out for another three months and no one is talking about it.

Re: 'Millions of Gamers Value True Ownership': PS5, PS4 Represented Half of All UK Physical Game Revenue in 2025

Shinymoon

It's true, I do still want to own the products I buy and less options is bad overall; except for Sony under capitalism.

I'm looking at all of my PS4 and PS5 games on my shelf and it's sad that I can't buy a single game physically 18 months from now.

They also haven't said anything about backwards compatibility for physical disc owners like an optional drive or the disc to digital program that Microsoft is doing, I'm guessing there won't be anything. There's very little reason for me to buy a £1000+ PS6 when none of library is going to carry forward and there's going to be very little for me.

Re: PS5's Call of Duty: Black Ops Port Reportedly Riddled with Hackers

Shinymoon

I did say that these ports were pointless since there were no improvements, I do understand that some people may want to play these on PS5 but I thought that these ports were going to have new servers to stop any cheating/hacking, it seems to still be happening; I will stick with the PS3 versions, I have no reason to be buying these cash grab ports.

Re: Poll: Are You Considering Leaving PlayStation for PC?

Shinymoon

I already have a very good pc that I bought before the prices increased massively. I always bought physical games first on PS5 but since that's no longer going to be an option soon then I may aswell stick with pc since it's an open platform with better prices and more storefronts if I'm going digital only, other than the exclusives that come out once or twice per year there's not much reason for me to get a PS6 and I have a PS5 Pro for those games in the cross gen period. I will stay with that for a while, I don't need anything new for some time, I'll think about getting a PS6 once there's a number of exclusives I'd like to play.

Re: PlayStation's First Post Since Physical Games Debacle Draws 57k Replies

I understand them, I always buy physical games on PS5 and there won't ever be an option after January 2028. I spent extra for the disc edition of the PS5 in 2020 and then again for the disc drive for PS5 Pro, they're not even allowing physical for the remaining of PS5's lifecycle.

If you ask me consoles should always have the disc drive/cartridge, it's part of its identity and for ownership, selling, trading, lending, gifting, giving away, no license checks, not needing an account and not needing the internet to play your games.

I might aswell just play on computer when everything is digital only since there's no store shutdowns, Gog allows you to own the game, more storefronts and key sellers. I don't have much reason to buy PS6 other than Sony made games.

Re: Poll: $1,000 and No Disc Drive - Is PS6 Dead on Arrival?

Shinymoon

Um, I haven't fully decided yet but I'm leaning towards a no and just staying on PS5 Pro, the price doesn't really bother me too much, it's the lack of physical games, I have a big collection of PS4 and PS5 games and none of this is going to carry forward to PS6. I like to buy games to collect and resell, I don't really trust Sony to keep digital games available in the future since they're shutting down the Vita/PS3 stores, I'm going to lose a couple of games digitally in the process and they deleted peoples accounts that bought movies from them recently.

Sony will have a complete control on the pricing of digital games on the store since there's no other options available, the discounts will take longer and dynamic pricing.

Physical copies meant I actually own something and I could shop around for better deals that are much better than digital games being stuck at full price on PSN, with physical gone it's no longer an option.

Outside of upcoming exclusives I don't have much reason to buy it either since I have a PS5 Pro the cross gen period will last a few years at least.

I'll just play my backlog on PS5 Pro and maybe go retro, also playing Fortnite and the gacha games.

I don't think it will be dead on arrival but it won't sell after the launch period.

Re: Reaction: PlayStation's Reputation Is at Rock Bottom - Where Do We Go from Here?

Shinymoon

I really don't like it but at the same time I don't think complaining isn't going to change anything, I doubt Sony is going to reverse this decision since the majority of people buy digital and want their convenience over owning the game, also thanks to capitalism. I still don't fully trust Sony with all digital since they deleted hundreds of movies from peoples accounts recently and they're going to shut down the Vita and PS3 stores soon. I'm guessing I'm going to lose a couple of JRPG's on the Vita since I bought them digitally.

I don't see much point of buying PS5 games physically anymore since there's no word if PS6 will have a drive add on and it won't have a disc drive built in, so the games will be stuck on PS5.

I have a good gaming PC and if I'm going digital I'm more comfortable there since stores haven't been shut down yet and there's multiple key resellers for me to buy games cheaper. I still don't like having to pay for licenses with no ownership and I usually don't buy them at full price because of it.

Physical copies ending has really put a sour taste in my mouth and I don't know or care about PS6 anymore.

Re: Reaction: PlayStation's Burned Through the Last Remaining Goodwill of Its Fans

Shinymoon

Very disappointed with this, I usually buy physical games to collect or sell and I won't have an option to buy physical in store or online. I might not bother with PS6 and just stick with PS5 Pro and my backlog unless the exclusives are really good or something, I'll probably be buying less games or when they're on sales.

Also, I'm annoyed that GTA 6 won't have a physical disc either but just a code in box, even COD Modern Warfare 4 will have a disc and even a steelbook, while GTA 6 won't have anything.

Re: PS Plus Essential Games for July 2026 Announced

Shinymoon

I already have MW3, it has a better multiplayer and open world zombies mode but I was finished with that game by season 6 which was nearly two years ago and the other two games I've never heard of and I don't think I'd want to play them.

Re: PlayStation Consoles to Stop Getting Disc-Based Physical Releases in 2028

Shinymoon

Awful news, one of consoles biggest advantage was physical games, but now that's gone I don't have much reason to buy a PS6 except for any exclusive games. I will miss getting games for my birthday/christmas, selling games and collecting.

I have been wanting to use cash and go into a store to buy my games that way, I did that with Pragmata and The Crew Motorfest recently. I can't do that with digital since they don't exist.

If I'm going digital it would be PC since I can use different key sellers and buy games cheaper that way. I still don't like it since it doesn't feel like I'm buying anything but just a license that I don't own.

Re: Rumour: PS6 Costs Sony Almost $1,000 to Make Right Now

Shinymoon

I don't really need one, I have a gaming pc with an RTX 4090 and a PS5 Pro for my gaming needs and I'm happy with what I have, also graphics aren't getting much better anymore.

I would buy it early is if exclusive games like Horizon 3, Uncharted 5, the next God of War and that next gen Batman game come out for PS6.

I don't like how this AI stuff has really increased Ram prices for consoles and graphics cards and I'm thinking of just sticking with what I have even though I have the money.

Re: Sony Aims to Drive PS Plus Profits by 'Improving Service Proposition'

Shinymoon

Eh I just have the basic essentials membership, it's mainly for Call of Duty multiplayer and zombies since I don't want to have to play with hackers and cheaters on pc. I was always turn off crossplay to play with other playstation players, plus all my COD points are on playstation. The games offered are a mixed bag, I've checked the extra and premium tiers but most of the games I already have or I'm not that interested in playing, Oh and also for cloud saves.

Re: PS5's Call of Duty: Black Ops Ports Get More Likes Than Modern Warfare 4

Shinymoon

I'm more of a Modern Warfare person, this just seems like a copy or port of the PS3 version to PS5, if it was something like the Modern Warfare 2 remaster I might have been more interested but I'm too used to the newer games movement and speed, the older games don't feel as smooth in comparison, at the same time I'm burned out on Call of Duty at the moment.

Re: The PS5 Release Schedule for Fall 2026 Is Now Beyond a Joke

Shinymoon

Just Wolverine and COD Modern Warfare 4 for me. Control Resonant I might have thought about getting that but they took the game in a different direction compared to the first, other than that Rayman Legends remake and Star Wars Galatic Racer are maybes.

It's not coming to Playstation but Gears of War E-Day is another game I care about.

Re: Gears of War: E-Day Is Not Coming to PS5, Xbox Confirms Console Exclusivity

Shinymoon

I like the series but I already have a PC and Xbox Series X, even if it did come to PS5 I don't think I would get it there since I can get both Xbox and PC versions for the same price from the Microsoft Store. I'd want it on PC though for the ray tracing.

The game does look really nice especially the improvements to movement and graphics. I'm disappointed at the same time since I wish they had finished Kaits trilogy first before E-Day. I'll get it in October.
