Re: Talking Point: How Do You Feel About the PS5 Pro?

Blue_Rover

As others have said, it still doesnt feel like this generation has got off the ground properly so speaking of an upgrade feels poorly timed. Does that mean with the pro we will be getting 4K and 60fps on every game (that isnt cross gen of course) like what was touted for the normal bog standard PS5?

Re: Mini Review: Contra: Operation Galuga (PS5) - Run-'n'-Gun Series Back to Its Best

Blue_Rover

My first taste of this series was Gtyzor (as it was called in the UK) on the ZX Spectrum. Got the Contra Collection on the Switch and of course the entries with the SNES games with NSO. I guess I was a little surprised at the price point of this entry. Without thinking I was expecting this to be closer to the £25 mark when I first heard it.

Should imagine I will pick it up but not yet...

Re: 13 More Games Coming to PS Plus Extra, Premium This Month

Blue_Rover

My Extra Sub is up this month and I have downgraded to Essential. Just wasnt getting the use of it. Either games I alreaady had or games I didn't have interest in. Anything I am truly interested in, in the selection I will just buy I think.

However, I wish it was easier to see what games in your library are part of Essential (Monthly Games) and those included as part of a higher tier. They appear to all be lumped into the filter of PS Plus.

Re: PS Plus Subscriptions Up to 40% Off as Part of PS Store's Huge January Sale

Blue_Rover

I did a upgrade to Extra and my renewal is up in February. Didn't pay much to upgrade for the short period of time but I will cancel and revert to Essential on renewal. Just haven't got the use out of it to justify the cost as I have GP on Xbox. I am glad people are seeing the value in the service though. Hopefully new subs with this offer will drive it forward more and I wouldn't say know to dipping back again in the future.

Re: PS Plus Extra, Premium Now Live in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand

Blue_Rover

Pass for me. The games that interest me I already own and I can't see the value currently for me personally based on whats left. That said I hope people that do upgrade get the value out of it. Although it sounds like there are a few problems with the upgrade process and being charged. Also, I have seen a few incorrect labels which only adds to any confusion especially with a tiered system.

I have Game Pass but that doesn't mean I wouldn't get this in the future but just not yet. For me it will be what is added going forwards with new stuff...

Re: Timeless PS3 Title Journey Is 10 Years Old Today

Blue_Rover

I really need to play this through again. First and only time I played it, I think it was two sittings, but the finish I was virtually in tears. Such an experience from such a simple concept. The connection with a stranger you couldn't fully communicate with sharing the same world and together trying to reach the end... just breathtaking at times. I totally get that its not everyones cup of tea mind...

Re: Gran Turismo 7 (PS5) - The Real Driving Simulator Makes Its Grand Return

Blue_Rover

Pre-ordered the Anniversary Edition on the day it became available. I am so pumped for this. I am not brilliant at driving games but decent enough to enjoy them. Always loved the idea of slowly building up from the lower rank of cars to the better tiers. Oil changes, car washes and maintenance on a car along with the more detailed tuning all add to the connection you have with the car I think.

Re: Elden Ring's PS5, PS4 Overview Trailer Is the Extra Hype Your Weekend Needs

Blue_Rover

I don't usually go for difficult games. I have Demons Souls on PS5 and while I enjoyed it, I didn't get too far; well I am still battling away now and then. I just love the atmosphere and being there in the environment. I am in two minds with this. Its not a huge price compared to other PS5 games, GT7 is around the corner but the idea of the open world and exploring and maybe avoiding or picking your encounters has me intrigued.... Its does look absolutely amazing.

Re: The Original Tomb Raider Celebrates 25th Anniversary

Blue_Rover

The reason I got a PS1 after playing this round a mates house. Just blown away by it. I still have the original disc in the double case that some PS1 games came in. Fond memories and if I try I can see still hear her screams when she fell from the tower in St Francis' Folly level and the fact it was that high she actually stopped screaming before the bone crunching landing at the bottom!

Re: Latest PS5 Firmware Update Is Available to Download Now

Blue_Rover

I am having issues where my Cold War (digital) and Avengers (disc) game data corrupts when they update; basically they don't update and then when I launch the games they are corrupted. Completed a Factory Reset a couple of days ago and am waiting patiently for the next update to see if thats fixed it. Maybe this update will help...
