Re: PlayStation Begins Pre-Orders for PS5's Chroma Collection, Horizon Remastered, More

@Ravix Are those screenshots for real? Or is that a joke? Because the original looks far more realistic. The remastered version looks so shiny and plastic. They have removed all the detail such as age lines and skin blemishes and replaced it with a smooth, glossy veneer. And what’s up with his beard? It’s like he has dyed it with Just for Men to get the grey out. Please tell me that is a joke.

Re: Tech Experts Reckon PS5 Pro Could Help Pave the Way to PS6

I don’t understand why people keep complaining about the Pro raising the bar for PS6 pricing. Sony must have been aware that consumers were paying $800-$1000 to scalpers for the base PS5 for at least two years after release due to inventory constraints. This suggests that there was a demand there at a higher price point. Sony didn’t need the Pro to prove that.

@Boxmonkey @get2sammyb I wouldn’t exactly say she is covered in tattoos. The moth and fern on her arm are meant to cover her original bite mark, to hide her immunity. Plus, the moth resembles a firefly, has connotations with death and can metaphorically be seen to represent Ellie’s obsession, as a moth is obsessed with light.

The Plucky Squire. And boy am I angry about these stupid Glitchbirds. I replayed a later chapter to collect a scroll that I missed and instead of exiting the chapter after getting the scroll, I continued playing and also picked up a Glitchbird that I had already found which reset the Glitchbird counter (all ten must be found in a single play through). Now I am locked out of the platinum unless I start a new game. Glitchbird is a perfect name for what seems like a stupid glitch. I was so angry that I almost quit playing. Oh well, I still have Astro Bot.

I guess that I am one of the few who is enjoying the Concord beta. The amount of hate that this game is getting is unlike anything I have seen before except maybe for Suicide Squad, although that was probably well deserved. I think it is polished with interesting character designs and abilities. I just wish it had ultimates. I see a lot of people complaining about the lack of health regeneration and sparse health packs, but it is a team shooter so team composition matters. There is a post where some OverWatch developers were praising it too. And speaking of OverWatch, the new hero in that game scheduled to release next season in August is playable this weekend, so I will probably be jumping on there to try her out as well. Smart timing. What can I say? Comfort food.
