Re: Feature: Push Square Readers' 10 Most Anticipated PS5, PS4 Games of 2022

I didn't bother playing cyberpunk after starting it and enduring 30 minutes of unbearably cheesy ego-stroking. Looked to be a mix of mechanics from other, much better, games that had been stuffed to the ceiling with the kind of self-indulgent mindless stereotypes of what is "cool" that I could only assume Rick Ross passed down to Takeshi 69. If I wanted to be pumped full of a false sense of ego then I'd make a Snapchat account and post videos of myself listening to trap.

I'm now replaying the outer worlds with the dlc and I'm honestly looking forward to Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga and the faint possibility that another Jedi: Fallen order game will be announced for this year or next.

Re: PS5 Stock Shortage Has UK Politicians Pushing for Online Bot Ban

@finalstan Yes but one issue is clearly more prominent and concerning than the other.

What you are saying is passive idealism. England 'being able to' resolve both issues and 'actually resolving' both issues are 2 very different things, when the more prominent issue isn't resolved then it should be heavily focused on.

Surely people would agree that ECV's not being given enough support is a bigger concern than people not getting consoles.

Also, there will be many more ps5s made over the next several years whilst the dead cannot be brought back. If people don't want to be ripped off or have no warranty then have some patience and don't bend over to buy off scalpers.

@Woogy I'm sorry to hear that but I am happy for you that you managed to get a console, I hope you're enjoying it.

I'm having the same problem often with booking home delivery slots. One thing that's helped me is I've been waking up early hours 2/3/4am, when I need a delivery, to check slot availability (because the supermarkets have to update them each day at some point) and if I get one I only order a few small items and check out because I can amend the order up until 10pm the day before it will be delivered. Then you can go back to sleep and wake up the next day to add the full shopping list to the order. The supermarket will deal with the price change so it will reflect correctly in your bank. Hope this helps you both.

This is simply pathetic. I guess there is more of an uproar from the public about not getting ps5s than there is about the inadequate policies brought in to protect us from covid, because I don't see politicians being pressured into increasing the fund being used to protect extremely clinically vulnerable people.

In England we didn't give enough of a **** about ECV people to cause uproar over the fact that we wasted £500m on a 'eat out to help out' scheme whilst only putting aside £32m to assist ECV's, but now it's gone too far?!

We can't get ps5s and we're entitled so we kick off about that but not the fact that we should've had less than half of the excess deaths we've had since the pandemic reached us. I'd like ('like' being the key word) a ps5 but frankly there are much bigger tragedies we should be focused on that are more important than some ****** not getting the new shiny console. I think people should get the **** over it and show some humanity, we're becoming a country of self-absorbed sociopaths.

Re: PS Plus, PS Now Members Frustrated by Duplicate PS4 Games

polljord

I've thought about this for a while and it's just occured to me that they could put ps plus and ps now together as a 2 tier subscription service

First tier is ps plus and second is ps plus and ps now, they leave the first tier the same price and slightly decrease the price for second tier

If it wouldn't keep everyone completely happy it would at least minimise the frustration of the subscribers to both

They could also make the ps plus monthly games available as digital or stream to give more people the chance to try streaming games and develop an interest in ps now
