Re: Random: Eco-Friendly PS5 Cases Are Cute and Could Save the Planet

@Deljo I was a kid when I was buying Atari games and i don’t know what made me practice it, but I always kept the box and booklet! Good thing i did. That said I wasn’t as gentle taking care of them at 12 years old as I am today obviously at 53. And having 3 brothers that were animals didn’t help 🤣 as they were always breaking stuff. But I mean, who the hell was thinking video games could be worth any money?? Certainly Not me lol. It started to hit me when the nes and master system hit when a buddy who only had an nes flipped over the master system and offered me $300 for my master system and my 50 game mint library (obviously his offer wasn’t close to what I could get today) although I considered it in my mind, my response then was “no way jose” go get your own! 🤣🤣Lol

@Unffclcntrllerpd omg that’s the worst! I don’t even make the purchase when I see that no way...at least you can get the sticker off the box verrry slowly...the instruction manual is just about impossible so again I don’t even make the purchase...that issue in my experience is a lot less common these past years. I hate the fact that Gamestop even guts the new games for display purposes- horrible!!

You gamers who are 100% digital are killing Gamestop and other chains both here in the US and the UK. Get in the car and go to the store?? When you’re done sell or trade it in? You Can’t trade in digital games. Zero value. Look what happened with the Wiishop...closed! Done! PS3 store probably won’t be too much longer either. I buy many digital games too yea but only if not available physically at all or dirt cheap like when I bought a digital copy of NFS Rivals for 5 bucks. And if you’re REALLY gonna consider throwing them in the trash (not sure why you even would) instead of trading them in, then most of us DO recycle today right?? Idk man Maybe I’m just too old school...lol

Re: Ubisoft Boss Says PS5 Will Run 'Almost All' PS4 Games

joey302

I’ve said it before but If PS5 Plays PS1-PS3 discs that will be incredible!!! I’ll even settle for psone and 2 only if they can’t figure out the beast that is PS3! Meanwhile, at least Xbox series X will go back as far as 360 and that in itself is awesome! Maybe I can disconnect some systems and make some room! ☺️

Re: Soapbox: We Need to Talk About Font Sizes in Games

joey302

Wow Too funny! I thought maybe I was the only one annoyed with this!! Been playing the Dishonored franchise and I have to get up off the couch to get closer to read all the text...and it’s a lot of reading in these games! As a 53 year old gamer who’s slowly going blind as a bat anyway, font and text size should definitely be in the options menus!!! Cmon devs!!

Re: Rumour: PS5 Will Run PSone, PS2, PS3, and PS4 Games

joey302

THAT would just be absolutely unbelievable and I pray for this to be true!!!!!!! I’ve said knowing the PS3 is a complicated beast to emulate, I’d still be thrilled for psone, 2 & PS4 BC at the very least!! I still have all my old Playstation libraries! 😊 i probably own around 1200 retail games between Psone, 2&3!

Re: DuckTales Remastered Demonstrates the Dangers of Digital with Delisting

joey302

@Eldritch that’s a fair point but even though even discs have a limited life span, compared to digital it’s a no brainer. As far as discs oxidizing over time all I can say is I myself haven’t experienced this yet and my 27 year old Sega CD discs work just fine today.
We will see what happens when Sony shuts down the PS3 store/servers one day- and they will. Only then will we see the real results. And while you can argue that the digital purchases you made are yours to keep, what if your PS3 dies? Then what? Consoles get harder and harder to replace as the years roll on and someday Sony will no longer honor service and repairs either. Yes you obviously wouldn’t be able to run your PS3 discs anymore either and that’s why backwards compatibility when done right is a beautiful thing!! In short, owning physical games is far less risky though than digital ownership imo. 😊

Re: Patent Prompts PS5 Backwards Compatibility Rumours

joey302

I’m glad Sony is looking at this. While understanding the complexity of the PS3 for BC, I always felt that the PS4 should’ve been made to play psone and ps2 discs right out of the box. My fat 60G PS3 being able to play psone and 2 discs enabled me to unhook my ps2 and psone systems and create some much needed space! Needless to say, if we’re able to download our digital PS4 purchases on ps5, that would also be awesome! So here’s hoping ps5 when it arrives, is VERY backwards compatible as far back as it is technically possible!!

Re: Review: Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle (PS4)

joey302

Like the switch and Xbox, the most important omission to me aside from lacking another game or two, is the lack of a retail release! At $29.99 I would’ve had no issue at all!! Worthy of my game shelves!!

Re: Dead Rising Developer Capcom Vancouver Closes Down

joey302

Wow that’s amazing that Dead rising 4 didn’t sell!! I absolutely had a blast with that game and DR3!! Chopping up those zombies was soooo satisfying!! Even bought the PS4 version!! What the hell?? Oh What a shame! Good luck to those folks! I guess the franchise dies too! 🤢
