Re: Sony Officially Backtracks on PS Plus Discount Scandal, Says It Was an Error

mucc

Its pretty hilarious people are saying this was Sony doing this on purpose and their proof is one customer support person saying that's how its supposed to work. As if customer support knows anything about the technicalities of this stuff and is right 100% of the time.

As someone on Twitter posted "The system was supposed to charge for the difference between actual prices of old and new suscription

But instead, it charged the difference between the actual amount of money you've been charged for the old suscription ans the price of the new one"

It was obviously a technical error.

Re: Resident Evil 3 PS5 Upgrade Could Be Close to Release

@KidBoruto RE2 is missing the real A/B scenarios with different ways the story plays out, different bosses because of this, item layouts, some enemies missing, and some other smaller stuff. That said I love RE2make and it's probably my second favorite in the series right behind the original. It wouldn't be any massive thing to add so it would be cool as a directors cut. it would mainly be more of a change to make the story actually make sense for both characters. I'd love for them to make a better effort with the music too, if there's one thing RE3make did it was the incredible remade score.

Re: PS5 Outsold by Xbox in Japan for First Time, But All Stock Related

mucc

@NEStalgia Did any of those consoles have hardware shortages anywhere comparable to what we have now? Absolutely not. Everything they put out sells. Either way mobile is king in Japan and it even trounces Nintendo in sales. So many of you act like Sony turned its back on Japan. Japan turned its back on console gaming for mobile trash and there's nothing Sony can do about it.

Re: Sony: Acquisition of Bungie Represents a Major Step Forward in Becoming More Multiplatform

mucc

Until Sony buys a 3rd party publisher I don't see this as being a reality unless they just mean PC. They're saying this now because consoles are selling off the shelves in record numbers, the second they slow down it'll be back to exclusive this, console exclusive that. The reality is both MS and Sony make the absolute bulk of their money from their stores and you can only use the Playstation store on a PS console. 30% of every single thing sold on the store is way too much to give up.

Re: So, Apparently Sony Demanded Changes to Salt and Sacrifice's Price on Other Platforms

mucc

Sony didn't "demand" the price to be changed and nowhere did Shane say they were pissed. Shane/the developer is obligated to keep price matched on all platforms. The problem is that some smaller countries get thrown into regions where their money is worth less since you can't set pricing by individual country. On the flip side in some countries it saves you money. This isn't just a PS thing by the way and happens on other platforms.

Re: PS5, PS4 Exclusives Will 'Deteriorate' if Launched on PS Plus, Says Sony CFO

mucc

@Godot25 You totally missed MY point. If you had even played GT7 you'd know that the game gives you plenty of money where you don't need to spend ANY extra real cash unlike Forza where you have to pay for DLC no matter what. Again with the ridiculous hyperbole saying every car costs $20 which is nonsense, also when you get licenses the cost of the expensive cars go down drastically. Once again you'd know this if you had any experience with the game but instead you just listen to the nonsense from other internet goons who've never even played it.

Re: PS5, PS4 Exclusives Will 'Deteriorate' if Launched on PS Plus, Says Sony CFO

mucc

@Godot25 Did you seriously say FH5 is almost microtransaction free? It literally launched with $60+ worth of add ons and DLC. All of which are not included in GP since the point is to rent the game and then buy useless DLC for a game you don't own. Compare that to GT7 where you earn plenty of money and everything in the game can be bought with said money so you don't have to spend a dime. It's hilarious how people crap on GT7 and have no idea how it actually is.

Re: Delayed PS4 Multiplayer Spin-Off Resident Evil Re:Verse Re-Emerges

mucc

I don't get why they don't just remake Outbreak with updated graphics and follow the same game structure. That way they don't have to take forever to come up with new scenarios and can see if the game has a potential major fanbase. Could even monetize the hell out of it with weapon skins and outfits.

Re: PS Store Weekend Offer Cuts More PS5, PS4 Prices

mucc

@Vladspartan Uh what? Mafia Trilogy is $29 on both Steam and PSN and full price on Xbox right now. It's never been lower than $29 for Xbox too. You realize Sony doesn't set the sale prices for games they don't publish right? Some of you are such clowns and say the dumbest ***** to take shots at Sony.

Re: 'Multiple Sources' Said Sony Is Buying Square Enix, Allegedly

mucc

@NEStalgia The MS buying scenario you mentioned is 100% false. They made an offer to buy Square in 1999 and got close to a deal but then Square said they wanted double their original asking price and MS didn't think it was worth it. Sony didn't buy Square's stock until 2001 when Square had major financial issues when Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within bombed. Then to return the favor when Sony was having financial issues in 2014 they both agreed to have Sony sell their stake which was only 8%. This is all easily found with a Google search. There was no Sony blocking an MS buyout with a stock purchase lol...

Re: 'Multiple Sources' Said Sony Is Buying Square Enix, Allegedly

mucc

What people don't understand is you don't just call up a billion dollar company and buy it in a week. I bet anything the Embracer group buyout was well before Sony made their offer for Square Enix. That is if these rumors are true that Sony is buying them. Square and Sony have been close ever since Sony got into the console business so I can see it. They could have even bought them years ago when the FF movie tanked the company and Sony bought a ton of their stock to keep them afloat.

Also what is with the cringe fanbase here ***** on Sony so much? They've released a steady amount of great games for years now and really their only big problem is they can't even get consoles to people. All the talk about live service games and they've only released one so far. Aside from the hysteria of idiots, it's actually a great game too. The fanbase here is so negative for no reason. You act like Jim Ryan is the devil and controls the entire company himself. I bet you're the same dumb people who think Don Mattrick was the only person making decisions for Xbox. Some of you must have such lonely, terrible lives to be so constantly negative.

Re: Sony Buying Square Enix Was the Big Acquisition Rumour, Apparently

mucc

I can see it because Sony and Square have always been close, but can't see it because most people buy Square games on PS platforms already so there's not much to gain for Sony in the long run. I just hope trash MS doesn't swoop in and buy them. That would be a major death blow for AAA Japanese games.

Re: As Bargain Bin Tomb Raider Goes to Embracer, PlayStation Seeks Acquisition Expert

mucc

Its hilarious how you spin this as a Sony missed opportunity. Why would Sony want a female version of Uncharted that sells a fraction of their own franchise even though its multiplatform? All the rest of the franchises are dead and require massive investments to make them relevant again. It's a pretty easy choice to save $300 million and invest in new IPs like they usually do.

Re: Sony Confirms PS Plus Subscription Stacking Has Been Blocked

mucc

@Apfelschteiner Seriously, I love how MS is the "pro consumer" point of the industry now just because they give you their first party games for $15 a month. Meanwhile they're destroying the industry buying up publishers to gatekeep previously multiplatform games forever. Microsoft doesn't even report operating profit for the Xbox division because it LOSES billions per year. This whole streaming first path is going to ruin the industry because it's just not financially viable. Nearly everything is going to be half assed free to play games so money can be made in the back end with a few AAAA games sprinkled in like Elden Ring. With sales being so common I don't understand the insane fad of GP/PsNow. If people think a trillion dollar company is "pro consumer" then you're beyond delusional.

Re: Sony Confirms PS Plus Subscription Stacking Has Been Blocked

mucc

The cringey entitlement from this fanbase is unreal. Did you honestly think a loophole where you can turn 3 years of regular Plus into Premium with a 1 month Now code was going to stay open? Your codes are fine and don't have to do anything, just wait until the new service launches or your sub runs out and use them.

Stop bitching and go to Microsoft's side then which is "so better" and be happy with all 2 games they've released in the last year and a half. Imagine being this mad over not being able to stack a god damn video game service.

Re: PS Vita's PS Store Says Content Is No Longer for Sale

mucc

@RBMango What amazing logic. If people like you bought it maybe they would have kept making games for it. Why do you care about a device you didn't even bother supporting?

Also who's buying games on a Vita in 2022 anyway? Talk about making something out of nothing. They already told you that the end was near.

Re: PS Plus Premium Demo Requirement Puzzling Publishers, Devs

mucc

@Oz_Momotaro Are you seriously this worked up over ***** 2 hour trials of games? You realize Steam basically does the same thing except you have to pay first and then you can refund the game if you don't play it for more than 2 hours. If you had any brains you'd look at the comments and see that someone clarified that the developers/publishers have to do nothing. Playstation will curate the trials for games for them, also it hasn't even been announced to 3rd party publishers yet so they probably have the option of opting out. Either way there's no downside here, it sounds like it's basically going to work similar to Steam refunds except here you don't pay upfront and you'll be notified when your 2 hours is up. Some of you act like the world is ending over the dumbest things. Sony's put out a pretty great lineup so far and all you guys do is whine over the minuscule things.

Re: PS Plus Premium Demo Requirement Puzzling Publishers, Devs

@Rob_230 Oh what do you know Sammy and the rest of the clowns on this site overreacted from a rumor with little information!

For people that don't want to open the link Sony has a team that will curate the 2 hour trials FOR developers, no added resources needed for devs. Also it hasn't even been announced for 3rd party partners yet. It sounds basically like the 2 hour refund system Steam has, except you'll be stopped from playing the game at 2 hours and given the option to buy it.
