@ShadowRJ External drive is my best guess with respect to that.

First and foremost, I want better protection of my account. It's unbelievable that you risk access to your entire library because of accidentally swearing into your mic.

@tameshiyaku key word was 'risen'.

Well, haven't vinyl sales steadily risen for 13 years now?

@Max_the_German It's not feasible for small indie studios, simple. Way too expensive.

@Max_the_German You're saying small indie developers and then you come up with games like Animal Well, Silksong and Mina the Hollower... Lol

@ShadowRJ And what would buying a physical copy of Wolverine do exactly? Especially from people who have always bought physical? Nothing. It would have to take millions of current digital players to suddenly buy physical.

@ShadowRJ The most effective thing would be to hurt Sony where it really hurts them. I don't see how throwing money at them and engaging with their platform (MAU) can accomplish that.

@ShadowRJ Not only that, Sony will be well aware of this "protest" and I guarantee you: Not a whole lot will participate. They'll probably laugh their asses off.

@dskatter At first glance, that may seem like the logical conclusion. But it isn't.

What happens if everyone just keeps doing what they've always done? Exactly: nothing.

Sony made this move based on the data they have right now. If people who prefer physical media simply keep buying physical games, only two things happen: the data doesn't change, and Sony keeps making money.

If people really wanted to fight this so-called battle they claim to be fighting, they'd have to stop interacting with the platform altogether: cancel their subscriptions, take their console offline, and, most importantly, stop giving Sony another cent.

To provoke any real change, this is what every opponent of a digital-only future should have done from the very beginning and stuck to. This won't change anything. I cringe whenever self-proclaimed 'fighters' for physical media say in the same breath that they'll buy a physical copy of Wolverine. As if that changes ANYTHING. lol.

@ElPenitente this is right where I am now. Don't love it, don't hate it. It's an ok to good game that never really shines bright imo, but I'm enjoying it.

@Max_the_German Let's pretend Sony offered all of what you've just mentioned, say a digital marketplace to sell your license, multiple storefronts to choose from etc. How would you react to that?

@Max_the_German How about the games themselves that create soul? It's almost as if the physical crowd ties Playstation to Christmas Eves and birthdays and the sensation of unpacking your new shiny plastic case more than the gaming experiences which is deeply unsettling tbh.

@Zuljaras it's their right and their obligation to cut costs and maximize profits. It's not a charity. And as consumers it's our decision to vote with our wallets.

@naruball @Zuljaras True. Defending them and understanding their reasoning for their decision are two different things.

@Balaam_ Big oof.

@ShadowRJ Being a game collector or a supporter of physical games doesn't make one more of a passionate gamer than others. I support the cause, but the holier than thou attitude of physical supporters annoys me just as much. Especially when they don't care for consumer rights but are only in it for shiny toys on a shelf.

@johnedwin Sure, this is definitely reason for outrage for some as well.

@PlayNation5 I'm wondering how many of those screaming from the rooftops (rightfully so imo btw) are truly in it with respect to consumer rights and how many are just bummed they don't get a plastic case because they like the sensation of it.

@Frmknst ever bought food?

I went fully digital a year ago after having been a staunch collector and defender of physical for many years, so this news doesn't affect me on a personal level but obviously I do not like less options.

They released a patch for uncapped framerate. I have no idea how it performs though.

@Frmknst Your use of 'objective' should be studied.

I have a soft spot for Resistance, so that would be my first pick. But there are a lot of franchises I'd like to see come back.

@KidRisky It's rather simple. No facial movement: Truth. Facial movement: a) You have proof --> lie b) You don't have any proof --> doubt.

Would love to hear @playstation1995 s expert opinion on this. Word up son.

Saros, nothing else.

I absolutely adore that game for the atmosphere alone.

@HughJasol Damn, five years. I've had some for a year or so, but five is pretty nuts.

Ratchet and Clank - A Crack in Time on PS3

Masterpiece

They simply cannot shut the f up.

Ratchet and Clank Quest for Booty and Pragmata

@Frmknst Speak for yourself. And don't forget to delete.

Have never backed anything apart from these two games so far.

I've just replayed Returnal in anticipation for Saros as well. More pumped than ever.

@Frmknst Who didn't give you attention when you needed it most?

Just started a replay of Assassin's Creed Unity with the latest 60 fps update. Don't know yet whether it will hold my attention for long, but I was craving a good old fashioned AC experience for some reason.

I wonder whether this eliminates the issues I had with remote play. Higher bitrate should help. For some reason, I had a much more stable resolution with streaming as opposed to remote play despite very strong wireless signal and a hardwired PS5.

Was wondering about what I should play next. I guess it's time for some replays.

Infamous Second Son replay

@DTfearTheBEARD Happy to hear that

Colin was right.

Her comment on X about whether she should bring the blades dashboard back is some of the cringiest PR talk I've seen. As if someone next to her told her: Say that, OG Xbox players will love that and think you know your stuff.

@Hundred_Hand_Slap This times 1000. The guy should count his blessings. I've never seen someone so incapable stick around that long.

@playstation1995 how do you know?

If I'm not mistaken it's still 60 fps on Playstation if you use the disc version and don't update the game.

@Hesse is it only available in certain regions maybe? Can't find the demo for this. Neither on the product page nor the demo section.

@Fuzzymonkeyfunk No, it got an update and runs at 60 now

Continuing with Death Stranding 2 probably while not trying to burn myself out. I'll probably stick to the main story because of it. It often happens to me in sandbox games that I'm trying to do everything and eventually I get burnt out half way through. Trying to avoid that this time while not trying to experience fomo at the same time. Gamer issues, lol.
