Re: Embattled US Retailer Trolls Customers for Picking Digital During PSN Outage on PS5, PS4

@Lowdefal this approach varies. The last game I pre-ordered was System Shock on PS5, but that's due to already owning the game on PC and knowing it's good. Pre-orders are meant to be used sparingly, and when you have the upmost faith that the game is what it is. With some devs like NightDive, pre-orders can also encourage them to continue doing what they do, as those that pre-ordered the System Shock remake on PC will get System Shock 2: Enhanced Edition when that comes out (and as someone who played OG System Shock 2, that's a nice bonus).

@Sequel no, we need to go BACK to what it was like during the PS3, where there was no subscription to play online because you, the player, already HAVE a subscription to play online... it's called your ISP. I get it, paying a subscription allows them to make the service better, but it's become apparent they're just using the subscription to butt-f**k your wallet without Vaseline.

@themcnoisy we all know that's NOT going to happen. You'd be trying to buy one of the biggest companies in gaming history, no. 1, and no. 2 you'd piss off so many people and with the HATE Sony is getting over their cross-play policy and Fortnite... you'd have protests, riots and Hell on Earth.

@Kafkaesque
While Xbox lacks exclusives, PlayStation lacks basic features that people STILL use on the Xbox One. In order for my setup to be complete, I have to have BOTH systems, which was a shock for me because I'm used to only needing the PlayStation.

Your probably wondering, case and point? PlayStation won't allow me to use discs from older generations anymore and instead opts into you STREAMING your games for $10 a month (need I mention, some games I play DON'T make it to the streaming service and instead are locked to the native console?) PlayStation also won't allow me to use the audio CDs that I own, and instead opts into STREAMING, once again. Xbox provides all fhe features that PlayStation does, plus the two that I pointed out, and it was those two features that I pointed out that kept me on PlayStation.

Exclusives aren't too big of a dealbreaker for me, as I play mostly multi-platform games and PC/Xbox exclusives such as Halo, Gears, and WoW. And while I need to pay a $60 membership fee to go online like on the PS4, I aslo get free games I can keep NO MATTER WHAT ONCE AQUIRED vs. having to remain a PS+ member.

And, while I'm ok with a digital every now and again, I PREFER PHYSICAL GAMES, making Xbox the ideal system for me (with Nintendo consoles a close second.)

My long winded comment boils to this, its not exclusives that some people get consoles for... its multi-platform games that have the best experience on the one system, as well as the features of the system itself.

Re: Why Ninja Theory's Leaving PlayStation

This is the EXACT same thing that Xbox players said when they found out that Bungie published Destiny on the PS3/PS4, I happen to be one of those people that said it, and I stick to it. The fact that Ninja Theoryis leaving PlayStation is a sweet relief, cause now I'll be able to stick to my "native console" in the future without having to pull out my PC or PS4 to play their games (and I'm thinking about selling my PS4, all I used it for is Bloodborne. Plus I want the Switch, and I don't plan on playing Fortnite on the PS4 anytime soon, with Sony acting like a spoiled brat with the cross-play policy they have. They didn't even extend the courtesy to allow me to continue using audio CDs, so it was manditory for me to also get the Xbox One to continue to use them!!) I'm just watching and waiting for Sony to pull their head out of their fourt-point-of-contact (military vets will know what I mean when I say that,) because they have lost sight of what made them kings of modern gaming. If you are stumped and don't know what I'm talking about, you haven't really played on a PS2, have you?
