Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 468

Finally finished Horizon:Forbidden West.

It's a shame that Wings of the ten feature is so close to the end.
When I got to it and San Francisco region I was already level 50. And I didn't grind. Just completed side quests, not all of them even. And got tired, I think.

Now I think it'd be better for me to rush to San Francisco and to start doing side activities afterwards.

In any case, it was a powerful journey. Honestly, I didn't expect I'd be so much into it.

Now I play my old save in Nioh 2, somewhere at 1/3 of the game. Not sure it'll grab me. Maybe replaying Elden ring for the 5th time could be a better idea. I'm not joking.

@themightyant ofcourse it's a mighty good game. I beat GoW:R in december 2022 and loved it. (where's the NG+ update, by the by?..)

Also, happy for you guys that you have stock and even capable to choose how to have it - bundled or not.

In UA stock situation is the same still. Lots of offers from scalpers, though.
Seems like their business is not so good as i was, though, as they couldn't price more than 200 bucks on top of retail price now.

Re: What Year Is It? There's a New PS3 Firmware Update Out Now

PS3 is the one generation I skipped and switched to PC at that time.

But I had PS1, PS2, PS4 and now have PS5.

PS1 and PS2 were chipped to play pirate copies. No shame in it, as at the time this was the only available way to play PS in Ukraine.
Sony has UA representative team in UA only starting from PS3 generation.
So I sold both of those consoles, as they currently would have 0 value for anyone.

My point is, where's emulation of older gens on PS5, Sony? You don't even know how large your fanbase is. Make it happen.

@PegasusActual93 I'm sure Wolfenstein's historical sybols are banned in German version of the game.

Germany itself doesn't want to be associated with those symbols until this day.
Russia's invasion is happening right now, at the very present day. That is why I'm against supporting anything russian, until the day they drive their armed forces away from UA territory.

For russians, USSR=Russia, and this war is their take on restoring their borders, as USSR, which is not acceptable.

And this is why you shouldn't consider USSR themes, as historical.

I hope you get my point and why I strongly disagree with your vision of the current situation.

Re: Microsoft Can't Deny Xbox Game Pass Cannibalises Software Sales

Only the lazy ones haven't said that game pass economic model is not sustainable, and here we are. Even MS itself were forced to admit this.

I'll keep buying games, either by full price or on sales, but I don't see why I should subscribe to PS premium or Deluxe, while I have my backlog.
In the end, by subscription you rent a pack of games, so why rent them if you don't have time to actually play them?
I'll consider subscribing on higher tires, when I will run out of my games, but, honestly, that'll never happen. I'm 99% confident in this.
