Re: PS Studios Malaysia Working on Top Secret PS5 Games

@Shepherd_Tallon
Since you like Alundra so much:
Loved the game when it came out, rented it loads, got to a weird dungeon puzzle I could never solve, called the helpline (expensive) tips never worked.
Thought it was a glitch in that copy.
Bought another pre-rental at a totally different place, same thing.
Ended up buying it for ps3/psp/vita, but have never played it again in case the same thing happens.
Sound familiar, any tips?

Re: PS5's Bonkers Dev Kit Looks Like an Alien Space Craft in the Flesh

I remember when the design leaked, thought it looked cool and still do.
When the retail was shown I loved it and I'm still happy with it.
That said I'd previously had a weird head spin with the PS4 and bought a white drive cover and controller, even though I used to hate any tech that was white previously.
So oddly eased myself into the idea in advance.😀

Re: Key PS5, PS4 Boss Masayasu Ito Set to Retire After 36 Years at Sony

Games companies get greedy and up the price of games, less games get sold and they then complain about less profits and then have to reduce prices, that happened in the 80's with the home computers and with Nintendo and Sega with carts going for £80 or more at one point.
Pretty sure he said about the refusal to have native backwards compatibility in an interview with Official Playstation Magazine.
I haven't said I want him fired, but with all that and the fact he comes across as a cocky unlikable person results in myself and a hell of a lot of other people wanting shot of him and a lot of the decisions he represents.

He has taken responsibility for unnecessary price hikes, when they were already making profit on the PS5 and games.
He previously stated that he was against the idea of adding in native backwards compatibility as their research showed no one wanted to play older games, but also said he thought his job was to make people buy the same game multiple times and has now added older games as a higher tier in Playstation Plus.

Pretty sure he's also been a driving force behind encouraging multiple remakes instead of new IPs.
He doesn't need to be doing things alone to be anticonsumer, there's nothing to show he hasn't pushed against it or done anything to benefit the people who already own the consoles and have previously bought multiple games.

Re: Press X for Trophies Is a Sad Indictment of PS5, PS4 Today

@TrickyDicky99
They begrudgingly allowed deleting of trophies at 0% for people who wanted an accurate record of their gaming, had looked at a game and decided that it wasn't for them.
But some games have trophies that ping just for starting the game, and then if you don't want to play further into the game if you don't like it, you're stuck with it showing 1% or whatever.
It brings down the grade average on things like PS profiles for those of us who care about such things.

And yet they don't allow deleting trophies on games you've tried and don't want to go further with (some hit you with trophies just fer loading the damn thing) or probably the new PS platinum trials (no demos for peasants now)
Yet they still allow this which totally skews normal statistics.

@NEStalgia
I've honestly no problems if I don't overload the drives and delete and move regularly.
But then I jump between consoles, shows playing the the TV on a PC and various musical instruments as I'm easily distracted, but I'm never left without something to do in the meantime.😁

Re: PS5 Remake The Last of Us: Part I Has Gone Gold

A remake of a remake goes gold and still expecting patches, yeah that's not part of a continuing plan to make physical copies practically unplayable.
With that and the price gouging I don't know why more people aren't putting their foot down about this.
