Re: Sony Predicts Slide in PS5 Sales with No Major Existing IPs Planned Before March 2025

Problem is that Game Pass, Ps Plus and aggressive discounting models convinced people that games are not something you should pay too much for. It's a complete different paradigm to Nintendo where games keep their value for years.

Also, there was a huge Inflation in the last years, price of food increased, price of loan, interests, increased. People is cutting on superfluous expenses, and gaming is one of them.

Re: Microsoft Has Apparently Been Stocking Up on PS5 Devkits as Xbox Pivots

Tbh there are no Xbox exclusives I'd really like to play at this point in time, the only one was Stalker but we already heard it would eventually come to Playstation. I may try Starfield but it really seems underwhelming, and spending dozens of hours on a sub-par game is not in my plans.
However, I'd like to have Fallout 4 on PSVR2, not sure if this will become an option.

Re: Poll: Which Persona Game Has the Best Opening?

Golden is fantastic and holds on special place in my gaming life, it was so intimate to grab the vita, launch the game, listen to the song and re-enter the daily routine of a countryside japanese town, special memories.

But the electro-jazz vibe of vanilla P5 is simply over the top. The artistic value of those games is exceptional.

Re: Huge PS Store Black Friday Sale Live Now, 1,000+ PS5, PS4 Games on Offer

@NinjaSixx There are many reasons to go digital. I, for example, have two households with a PS5 in each of them, without digital games it would be a pain to travel back and forth with a pack of game disks. I also like to switch daily from a big long adventure-like game and a quick sports game, I would need every single day to swap disks, multiple times.

Re: All PS Plus Members Handed a Movie Discount on Sony Pictures Core

We don't have any movie subscription service (we have a public library nearby with literally thousands of movies to borrow, many of them bluray) therefore this one for me has some value, we found a few nice movies to watch and will be happy if they add more od even crunchyroll to the premium bonus.

Re: Bungie CEO Laments 'Sad Day' for Sony Studio Following Layoffs

I work in the IT in middle Europe and I've never ever seen one single developer laid off in 25 years or career, nor I ever heard of one laid off by the multiple friends and ex-colleagues working in the field.
Firing a talentend developer is a desperation move, before you find another one you can trust, train him and make him integral part of the team you've to invest a LOT of money (and maybe he leaves afterwards).

Re: PS5 Slim's Digital Edition Gets a Stealth Price Increase in USA

We come from 2 consecutive years of 8% Inflation where ALL the products increased price, people seems to forget that.
Moreover, this model introduces 2 advantages: bigger disk and modularity. Modularity will allow you to easily replace the blue-ray drive if it breaks, to send it back for service while keeping the console etc.
