I am in Bolivia destabilizating the Santa Blanca Cartel, gathering intel on El Emisario a cocaine producer and grandson of the highest ranking Bolivian in the cartel. Lol. I am playing TC Ghost Recon Wildlands it's pretty good, going through some of my back catalogue before playing some of my newer games.

Re: PS Plus Essential Games for March 2023 Confirmed

banacheck

I own Code Vein I just haven't played it yet, I have tons of game's I still need to play. Battlefield I'll try I wasn't going to buy it seeing as they took out things that made Battlefield Battlefield, but thankfully they've added the classes back. I'll try MD at some point not really big into Minecraft it's one game I haven't played based on the look of it.

Re: Idiots on the Internet Are Still Abusing Abby from The Last of Us 2's Face Model

@Would_you_kindly

Good point. She actually gets harassment by people who actually turn up at where she lives & much worse by ironically people who "care" about misogyny.

Harassment is when someone continually contact's you, I wouldn't call a one off message on a public forum "harassment". I also don't understand why they give these people the time of day, out of all the messages these people get this is the commet they focus on. I mean who cares what someone you've never met think's, it's the internet.

Re: Days Gone Director Blames Woke Reviewers, Programmers for Critical Reception

banacheck

"woke reviewers who couldn’t handle a gruff white biker looking at his date’s ass”.

This is true both IGN & Kotaku complained about the main protagonist being white & male, you know straight away what type of people you are dealing with. People who demean people based solely on their skin colour, also calling non-white's certain racial slurs just because they don't hold the same views as them. Mainstream reviewers don't really have the credibility they once had, it wasn't really the mainstream reviewers. it was a buggy game at launch Dev's need to understand this will damage your day one sales more than anything else especially now with game's being £70 a pop.

Re: Just 70MB of Data Contained on the Modern Warfare 2 Disc

banacheck

This should be against the law as must customers will assume at the minimum the campaign is on the disc, where in reality nothing is on the disc. The gaming industry should have to state by law wether the game is on the disc, & state it on the box itself & made clear you have to download the game as the disc is a unlock key.

Re: Red Dead Redemption No Longer Playable on PS5, PS4 in a Troubling Sign of the Times

banacheck

I own RDR on PS3 & it's DLC, RDR was never playable on the PS4/PS5 it was only ever a streamable game. Streaming 3rd party game's on a service does not guarantee the game will always be streamable on any service. As for backwards compatibility there is a reason Microsoft no longer does it and that's licensing, also not every game support's HDR/Frame Rate Boost sadly on XSX. If you see a backwards compatibility game you want on Xbox you better buy it, as BC are not guaranteed to stay a BC game to buy. Example Metal Gear Soild HD Collection you could buy I bought it, it's no longer buyable only playable if you own the disc of the game. These games are only playable on streaming services or to buy through BC if the publisher wants it to be available. Also people knew the PS4 wasn't BC with PS3 games, if you still wanted them games why sell them & the PS3? I never sell my consoles or game's to only get the fraction of the price back no thanks.

Re: PS5 Price Increase Confirmed for UK, Europe, Japan, Canada, and More

banacheck

So food has increased in price you're bills too. Which will only get worse when inflation is expected to hit 18% in 2023. You honestly believed luxury items would not increase price at some point, as everything becames more expensive? The likely hood other companies will follow suit is very high, especially as time goes on.

Re: Sony Had 'No Involvement' in Death Stranding Deal with PC Game Pass

@Vivisapprentice

"Meh, goes both ways, we have had Deathloop and Ghostwire Tokyo, both xbox owned games, plus we also had Physconauts 2"

This argument doesn't really make any sense as Microsoft had nothing to do with these deals, they didn't own any of them studios at the time when the deals went through. Microsoft had no say in the matter.

Re: Sony Ceases to Share Shipment Updates for PS4

banacheck

The PS3/360 was an end to an era, something you'll never see again in the console market. What's funny about the PS3 people are paying just under £500 for the PS5/XSX. The PS3 was at the time totally worth the money Sony ask for it at the time, the problem for the PS3 that it was probably too exotic. Sony lost $306.86 on every console sold, between both Sony & Microsoft they lost $8 billion with Sony lossing the most out of the two. It took years before they made a profit, hence both the PS4 & XboxOne.

Re: #RedDeadFuneral Trends as Red Dead Online Fans Mourn Its Death

banacheck

To me this is stupid. You must be on drugs to believe any company is going to have free updates like a live service game. They are definitely not going to make story DLC when they can make more money from microtransactions, Microsoft bragged about this with Halo 5 hence Free 2 Play Halo Infinite. Certain gamer's have done this to themselves. You obviously didn't buy enough microtransactions within RDO hence why they are not supporting the game they obviously don't veiw it as worth it.

Re: Xbox Appeared to Embargo PS5, PS4 Versions of Some Showcase Games

banacheck

@TheRealPaperKut

Neither Xbox or Sony has ever done anything like this on game announcements, obviously until now. Timed game exclusives are a totally different thing.

And for those that say otherwise & give no example you are full of dog crap, and you know it. I own all the consoles PS4 Pro/PS5, XboxOne X/Xbox Series X & Switch, and follow them all. Not even Nintendo does it

Re: Poll: Will You Buy The Last of Us: Part I?

banacheck

I brought the "full" PS3 & PS4 remaster versions that had multiplayer, there is just no way I am paying again. Not only that they've stripped out the multiplayer, you basically paying more money for less content.

Re: Gallery: Spot the Difference in The Last of Us: Part I PS5 Screenshots

banacheck

I definitely see Xbox could out sell PlayStation this generation, I am not saying they will I am saying they could. The graphic update looks great and will look better when you are actually playing it, but at the end of the day it's about optics. People will have paid for the original PS3 version & brought the PS4 remaster, at a time when Microsoft (Gears 5) & other companies like capcom are giving their customers free upgrades for owning the original the optics don't look good for Sony.

Re: PS Plus Members Bemused by Potential God of War Inclusion Across Multiple Tiers

banacheck

The name speaks for itself "PS Plus Essential". Meaning it's an essential service if you want to play online, the "free" game's are a bonus. Even if all four essential games are on Extra/ Primium, 1) you would have to pay extra to upgrade. 2) you are definitely not subing to Extra just for them four games. 3) People subing to Primium are subing for PS1/2/3 game's.

I honestly don't get the complaints. It would be like me subing to Extra then complaining I own most of the game's.

Re: Poll: Are You Sold on PS Plus Extra or Premium?

banacheck

@MatthewJP

If a company wants to me to pay them money for game's I already own you better add extra value to them said game's.

Both GamePass & Sonys or any other sub service just isn't worth it if you already own or buy new game's. But if you don't buy many game's or haven't owned past gen consoles, there is definitely value for money. Basically it's for the casual gaming market.
