Re: Shawn Layden Reveals Why He Left Sony PlayStation

@NEStalgia did you miss the part where I said digital prices are as high as they are because people account share and Sony check it down as a positive sale at £70?

I didn't ignore digital at all 😂

Also gamepass aside, games are just as expensive on XB.

I'd rather pay a fair price (see my last comment) for a top quality game than £130 for a bunch of games that don't come close.

I've searched bargain sites for games since the 360/PS3 era. I rarely ever pay full price for games. During the PS4 era, the only games I paid over £40 for were special editions of HZD, UC4 and TLOU2. Any decent third party titles (cod, bf, rdr2 etc) were all bought for under £40.

I just get this really lazy impression of these people complaining about the $70 price tag. Instead of shopping around they'd rather moan about it in a comment section for upvotes. It doesn't help that to get around the prices, so many folk share accounts with friends and justify Sony using that price point. They don't realise people are paying £35, they just see sales of games at $/£70.

I get the appeal of gamepass. I've used it a few times myself. Most recently to play The Ascent and Hades. But the appeal of it for most come from the £1 deals. They're getting more and more rare. So now you have to pay £10.99 a month (£131 per year) for a bunch of games that probably aren't worth a lot of your time. As opposed to this $/£70 price tag for a top quality AAA game that you KNOW will more than likely be enjoyable. For the time being at least, you're not going to get a game anywhere close to the quality of the majority of PlayStation's exclusives. That's near fact and of course down to personal taste and opinion still.

Gamepass is great but it's NOT the future of gaming.

Re: Bethesda Apologises to PS5, PS4 Fans 'P*ssed' at Exclusivity

I've never been the biggest Bethesda fan to be honest. I've played a little bit of dishonoured, the doom remake and Wolfenstein. Starfield was never really on my list of must haves, I was just curious as to what it was all about. Seems a little no man sky-ish judging by the latest trailer. There was one shot in particular where I'm sure I was watching a Returnal trailer. Anyone else spot it?

@thefourfoldroot I just tapped the Ps button and the activities popped up. They show a % and if you click through it has them listed. Click on each and a video will be there to watch, giving you an idea of what to do/where to go.

Re: Poll: Did You Get a PS5?

honestly...it didn't blow me away as much as I was thinking it would. The controller is great, like amazing but there's issues I'm finding with the ui.

1 - I miss the what's new page that shows friends trophies and our own trophies etc. Unless it's there and I just can't find it.

2 - The store could do with a little organising.

3 - I take it themes aren't going to be a thing this gen?

4 - Profiles could've been a little better, more features etc. Still look pretty plain. There's not even a music section like ps4 had.

Maybe minor issues but yeah, just my initial thoughts.
