Days Gone actually thrives on PC with it getting a new lease of life. Plays amazing on Steam Deck too, so after been given it for free on ps5 I didn't actually play and complete it until I got the PC version. Which I kick myself for because it's such an amazing game.
Haven't bought a new game in so long now. Bought Outlaws for £30, and Cyberpunk Ultimate for £35 from a retailer, months after launch so it's actually working. Those that buy it new are just my QA and I wait for news that the game is in a better state and cheap enough for me. Don't get me wrong, Robocop was released by OCEAN in the 80's and we find out years later that you could never complete it. So at least games can be fixed. Price wise though GTA will be in profit in a week if not sooner. They could charge £10 and the result would be the same. I don't play online but have V on three playstation generations. Rockstar are a brand that just generates money.
Nintendo does great things! I don't do Nintendo but my wife and kids do. They stopped competing directly since game cube. Wii was different and great as was switch. I have a steam deck pc and ps5, wife and daughters have switch. They feed a different gamer market in my mind.
We're at the point in entertainment subscriptions now that you have to subscribe inside a subscription. Please let it stop. I have Premier purely because I forgot to cancel my offer, but I like it so much I barely buy any games which is surely hurting developers if we all go this way.
30 quid at Argos so I took a punt. Happy at the moment. Different to the EA games which is for the better. A right old mix of gta, creed, tomb raider and the like, space bit isnt amazing but suffices. Goes to show reviews and perceptions.
Remember when C64 and Speccy 48/128 used to have the same games all the time, just pick your fave machine. That's when gaming was great. I hope ps reciprocate and we don't.lose xbox.
Ubisoft, EA, and Rockstar do it. It's nothing new. It kills single player games on the go with steam deck for some of them too. Sorted Ubisoft but can't get mass effect, a single.player game bought off steam, to work without Internet. Let's just see what happens.
I've already jumped. Steam deck and pc. I still have ps5 and Premier plus as its a cheap way of having loads of games. Haven't bought one since forbidden west.
Since the racing genre is all but ignored, and gt7 does it weirdly, I got a steam adapter and play f1 23, ACC and Automobilista 2 in VR on PC instead. Cheers Sony.
@Serialsid the sole reason I bought/made a pc. Pure console gamer then Elite Dangerous loses console support and psvr2 dies on its feet unless you want a horror or slightly iffy shooter. This PC better bloody stand up for a few years yet... 🤣
@Serialsid f1 23 on steam is a corker, and assetto corsa competizione, and automobilista 2. Vr is perfect for sim racing. I know I'm lucky to have a pc too just for games.
@breakneck steam deck is awesome, love mine, but rather niche I'll agree. I have a reason to have one which goes away next September. Will the deck gather dust then I wonder...
As long as its as open as my steam deck. Non of this silly card stuff. Deck is amazing until you have to go offline then EA, Rockstar and the like won't let you play their single player games. I use my deck at sea and ps5/pc at home. Each device will have its key audience. The vita is still good but far too small.
I'm a Femshep preferee. Only because the bloke voice actor was so wooden. So if its a Shep story there will be disappointment abound because everyone sees Shep their way. But am prepared to be entertained, the expanse made a good citadel like space station. But Shohreh Aghdashloo has already done that too. Many reasons why the day has passed.
I'm a year behind. I have a work life that takes me away. I bought all of this years games from CEX. But I used to be that day one chap, bought Far Cry 5 gold edition, and was disappointed with the eventual dlc. Lesson learnt.
The lack of racing games, elite dangerous stopping support, mmo games being forced on us. Sony has pushed a lot of fans away, I was there day one nearly every generation and my 5 now gathers dust as they don't really support my fave genres anymore.
No problems for this call sign. A ps native but brain turns pc/xbox, Nintendo as soon as i boot up, just like my left foot goes to sleep when I get in a lazy car.
What a pain in the arse. You may never have had a playstation, why make an account for it when you bought on Steam. But then, ubisoft, ea, rockstar and on. Big brother demands his pound.
Was a freebie on PS5 when I bought it. Never played it until I paid 7 quid for it on steam deck. It's that sleeper hit you've been waiting for. It was bloody brilliant and put a continued panic with the hordes and I never got over them. Unfortunately it took an age for them to appear, if you dont look for them, and then it ends...... My brother could down them easy. PS5 really hasn't improved my game experience like 3 to 4 did and I've bought maybe 10 games since launch. And yet another ps4 upgrade shows a lack of something. Go and redo a game, fix the issues and start over. Like spiderman and batman films. Don't just redo and keep the original issues, nobody wants them back.
Let's just go back to the 80's where everything released on everything and you played on your device of choice. Probably impossible now but a good time used to be had by all.
@EfYI sorry, been at sea. I shall have to look but the processor is a ryzen 7 7800 x3d, gpu is a 12g rtx 4070, the ram is 6000mhz 32g ddr5 and there's a 2tb m.2 and a 120gb ssd for Windows. I can get the rest if you need it with make but I'd have to go in loft for boxes.
@Wizardweb there is no word processor on mine. 😂 But I see your point, and used it. Just like the golf one that spoilt a good walk, and here I am with an 18 handicap.🥲
@EfYI that's interesting. I spent £1500 on a pc, took 6 hours to get to windows boot and I've never done it before. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience too. Depends on skill level I suppose and I have a 35 year background of engineering.
This gen of consoles hasn't really delivered for me. And that's going to be a different statement for everyone. I wanted VR, we got it but not the best selection. GT7 won't allow the gimble effect to switch off, if it does I've missed it, and no driving games are really cutting it. So I moved to PC. I don't want live service, I don't care for online, and I've found a library of games that my pc can play with ease. I don't know how to overclock or any shizzle like that but it's also letting me plug in whatever controller I like and set it how I want. Oh and PSVR2 finally has a proper racing game to throw at my eyes. But this is my preference, you guys use yours and I shall be happy knowing we play games our way. 😁
I love playstation always have. Had one since uk launch. However I had to move to the dark build your own pc side as it is generally cheaper games and my new portable steam deck is just amazing, With or without WiFi. I remember when the furore of ps3 price was the latest rage but there I was buying one day 1. Ps4 day one, pro a bit late ps5 day 1. No more now. Psvr2 is on pc so I'm sorted.

Re: Days Gone PS5 Remaster Rumours Start to Snowball
