We don't need them anyway. They always made no difference to me. They can release them to as many platforms they want. I know I'll greatly enjoy them on a ps console.
@Northern_munkey oh, man. I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope you feel better soon. And thanks for recommending Halls of Torment a few days ago. I added it to my wishlist and will get it as soon as it's on sale. Greatly appreciate it.
I've had a discussion with many developers and they all told me that AI is rather reliable in terms of fixing bugs. So, I don't mind it being used for that.
@Eld are you kidding? Anyone who paid attention is well aware that most people (including myself) stated that they fully expected it to flop. Now is it a massive success? Perhaps not. But it's definitely performed way better than we predicted.
@BAMozzy I think they are. For example, I've owned all main ps consoles and handhelds, but I'd never buy a ps4/ps5 pro. Many others, like me, are ps players with zero interest in such products. So we're not their target audience.
@BAMozzy yeah, no I get that. But not everyone can or is willing to spend that kind of money for a handheld, so I still consider the comparison moot. They are products aimed at different audiences.
As soon as I realized it, I stopped buying ps5 games. I only have Ratchet & Clank that came with the ps5 bundle. I also haven't bought a physical special edition. They take up a lot of space and I hardly do anything with them. I still regret buying the special edition of Killzone 2.
I really like mine, but I don't get why it constantly refuses to connect to my ps5. I'm forced to stream games most of the time, but the selection is limited.
@opo02 yeah, I mean when my life was pretty bad and I had nothing going for me other than video games, these things bothered me a bit more. When you have a more balanced life, they become quite insignificant.
@Northern_munkey didn't people overwhelmingly vote Labour because everyone hated the Tories? I haven't been in the UK in ages, but that was my understanding anyway.
@whmchrish think of it this way: if someone wants to play a playstation game and they don't have access to a TV because their kids or their partner is using it, what are their options?
@themightyant I feel the same way. In addition to the literally hundreds of games that I have and I'd love to have the time to play (so not just games I own), there is so much on ps+ extra that I simply can't keep up.
@SMJ coin collecting, really, dude? He also looks nothing like Mario, which is the point of the article. Are we gonna bash any game that has walking on walls because it was "lifted from" Prince of Persia?
@Cvantez I was exaggerating a bit (to highlight how ridiculously often we have sales), but I'd say I buy at least 40-50 games per year mainly because I can't resist a good sale. I always assume I'll find the time to actually play every single game I play apart from some VR games, which I buy because they're really cheap and I want to support the developers even just a bit.
@4fold Ι platinumed Hades recently and I strongly agree. It's also a reminder, for me at least, not to go for the trophies, as they ruin the fun I had with the game by the time I'm done collecting them. For some reason I every tried to get the third statue (you probably know what I'm talking about) without god mode and without realizing that I don't need it to get the platinum. I got very close to beating the last boss, but it so wasn't worth the anger issues I developed along the way...

Re: Don't Expect Any PS5 Exclusives from Square Enix in the Future
@Toot1st well there are also more ps3 users, but how many are buying ps3 games? Same with ps4.

@Max_the_German so Japan = world?
Re: Don't Expect Any PS5 Exclusives from Square Enix in the Future
@graymamba I think it's more about PC or switch than xbox

Re: These Are All 2,800+ PS5 Games You Can Stream Directly to PS Portal Now
@optic_efun11 Apparently, it varies greatly. It's perfect for some, terrible for others...
Re: Sony Cracks Down on Fake PS5 Gear, Sues eBay Seller for $2 Million
I think the logo here is the problem. They can still make knock-offs all they want.
Re: Protests at GTA Developer After Sacked Staff Deny Leaking Confidential Info
@cainhurst94 no, burden of proof is on R* for firing them in the first place.

Re: Poll: Is PS Portal the Biggest Surprise Hit of the PS5 Generation?
@BAMozzy exactly. So they're vastly different. That was my point anyway.

@belmont Doesn't the Ally cost far more, though? You got a point. They're vastly different.
Re: Study Claims Physical PS5 Games Are 100 Times Worse for the Planet Than Digital Downloads

Talk about gamechanger!
Re: Remakes Eclipse Remasters for PS5 Gamers, Generate Double the Money
Most remasters look awful to me. If it's not a proper remake, it's really not worth my time
Re: PS2 Set to Remain King of Consoles as Nintendo Switch Sales Start to Stall
@StitchJones I don't think anyone reeeeally cares, but it's kind of fun to look at.

Oh, noes. How dare the game work as intended? I demand a refund!!!11
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 605
Still playing Absolum, but it's seriously kicking my butt. A great game, but a little tough for me. Maybe I need more practice.
It's also a shame I can hardly ever find anyone online to play with. Has anyone had similar issues?

@Questionable_Duck she looks a bit like Ichigo's younger sister (Bleach).
Re: Sony Stands with Japan's Creators in AI Copyright Crackdown
@LifeGirl wait, you mean it's not a non-profit organization? Switching to Nintendo right away.
Re: Rumour: PS Portal Could Be About to Get Even More Compelling
I really like mine, but I don't get why it constantly refuses to connect to my ps5. I'm forced to stream games most of the time, but the selection is limited.
Let's see if this ends up being true.
Re: Millions Tune in for Halo PS5's Reveal on PlayStation's Social Media Accounts
@OldGamer999 absolutely. I have no interest in fps, but the more games (esp. good ones) the merrier.
Re: Sony's Social Media Tribute to the PS2 Borders on Insulting
@opo02 yeah, I mean when my life was pretty bad and I had nothing going for me other than video games, these things bothered me a bit more. When you have a more balanced life, they become quite insignificant.
Re: Sony's Rumoured Handheld May Be Years Away, But Ghost of Tsushima Is Steam Deck Verified Now
@LifeGirl no one reasonably expects any exclusives for it.
Re: Sony's Social Media Tribute to the PS2 Borders on Insulting
Man, imagine being a gamer and feeling constantly insulted. Must be exhausting.
Anyway, for some reason ps2 was my least favourite console, though the God of War games were excellent (minus the puzzles).
Re: Cult PS1 Fighting Trilogy Battle Arena Toshinden Coming to PS5
Dear God. They really looked that bad back then, didn't they?

Re: Mini Review: PowerWash Simulator 2 (PS5) - A Bigger, Better, Squeaky Clean Sequel
Such a shame they refuse to give us a PSVR2 port.
Re: The Possibility of Ghost of Yotei DLC Could Be Down to You
Sounds like they want to do it, but need to convince Sony that enough people want it?
Re: The Awesome Absolum Smashes Through 200,000 Sales in Its First Week
Glad I was part of that. Smaller decently priced games deserve all the success imo.
Edit: I've played it for less than an hour, yet already died several times. Highly recommended.
Re: Last Chance to Get 25+ Essential PS5, PS4 Games in Player's Choice Sale
@themightyant I feel the same way. In addition to the literally hundreds of games that I have and I'd love to have the time to play (so not just games I own), there is so much on ps+ extra that I simply can't keep up.
Re: 'Astro Bot Has So Much Potential': Sony Merch Boss Predicts Big Things for Platformer
@trev666 no such thing as too much Astro bot
Re: Marvel Rivals Is Going PvE with Zombies Mode Just in Time for Halloween on PS5
Tried the game, but shooters aren't for me. But this, I can certainly get behind.
Re: Sony Strikes Back at Tencent's Horizon Rip-Off, Says Light of Motiram 'Jeopardises' Future Success
@SMJ coin collecting, really, dude? He also looks nothing like Mario, which is the point of the article. Are we gonna bash any game that has walking on walls because it was "lifted from" Prince of Persia?
Re: Sony Strikes Back at Tencent's Horizon Rip-Off, Says Light of Motiram 'Jeopardises' Future Success
@Oram77 I said I wonder, not that you didn't. It's like saying, did we even play the same game? And for the record, it's a rhetorical question.
Re: Sony Strikes Back at Tencent's Horizon Rip-Off, Says Light of Motiram 'Jeopardises' Future Success
@Cerny Astrobot is vastly different from Mario. Like, what are you even talking about?
Re: Sony Strikes Back at Tencent's Horizon Rip-Off, Says Light of Motiram 'Jeopardises' Future Success
@Oram77 Frey is absolutely fine. I do wonder when I read comments like this if people actually played the game.
Re: Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 'Will Be Loved by Everyone', Says Director
@themightyant give it time and I'm sure one day he will. He must have said at least something problematic by modern standards 2,345 years ago.

Wait, that's Aristotle. Never mind.
Re: As Fans Demand inFAMOUS Remasters, Sucker Punch Says It Can Only Work on One Game at a Time
@Deadlyblack agreed. Dante's Inferno and the two Castlevania ps3 would be much appreciated.
Re: Talking Point: PS6 In 2027 - How Do You Feel About Sony's Next-Gen Console?
I feel like I don’t care. It’s simply too early for me to buy a new console unless it offers something distinctively different
Re: Criticised House of the Dead 2 Remake Lurches to PS5, PS4 Just in Time for Halloween
@Ainu20 exactly. I'd buy it in a heartbeat, just like I did when they added Move controllers support.

Re: PS6 Release Date Touted for 2027, Cheaper But Less Powerful Than Next Xbox
It can be released tomorrow for al I care. I'm still years away from buying the next ps console.
(Unless it's a handheld. That would change everything)
Re: People Don't Buy Anywhere Near As Many Games As You Think
@Cvantez I was exaggerating a bit (to highlight how ridiculously often we have sales), but I'd say I buy at least 40-50 games per year mainly because I can't resist a good sale.
