I usually renew my 12 months PS+ on Black Friday and I think it about for £4 a month.

@nomither6
‘it’s dividing resources so that it can run on inferior hardware’
That’s not how cross gen usually works.
They usually started dev on last gen (edit I know on pc but targeting last gen) and have an upgraded native version for current gen. Not focusing exclusively on current gen doesn’t take away quality. It just (possibly) takes away the potential for an innovative exclusive design. An exclusive design isn’t related to quality. Quality is in the execution not in the design. (It’s like saying Forspoken will be better quality because being current gen only. That doesn’t make sense.)
There r exception like GT7 which was developed for current gen and got a port for last gen. Again I don’t see the point about quality though.

(Just my opinion I’m no dev)

@Bleachedsmiles
Hi man. I understand you have preferences but your contradicting yourself and not making sense.
A game being cross gen has nothing to do with quality or not.
Halo taking so long to develop logically should tell you its development has nothing to do with gamepass and was conceived way before gamepass was even an idea.
No worries I think everyone can express themselves. I just pointing out contradiction.
Have a lovely day.

Just speaking facts and not lying.
People just get manipulated into hating one man for no real reason (or console warring propaganda) though so there the rage coming for anything he will say. 🙄

It’s ok it’s what I wanted.
PS+ remains the same for me.
Fools can pay more to rent games if they want to it isn’t my problem.
😅

SpongeBob Baby 😅

(My daughter is more and more threatening to play Sports Friends on PS5 so I’m glad about this. For the time being phew)

@rival_fight
I think it’s funny that Jason S is probably the only one who vaguely knows some info (probably true) and they all come out pretending they know serious stuff like ‘I’m Spartacus ‘. Haha
Gaming sites are tabloids though. Don’t expect them to give up on juicy rumour articles.

I wonder if Colin said ‘I heard something like this too’ 🤔
👀👀👀

Hahaha

Supermassive games. Until dawn.
Oh that reminds me of a great line :
‘Understand the palm of my hand B’. 😅

Agreed. It’s obviously about controllers standard with the console. No need to compare with pro elite super hyper x posh controller

The power of the ‘Could’.

It’s going to be much ado about nothing and fake outrage will complain it doesn’t match their unrealistic expectation about imaginary promises.
😅

@Bamf
Yes thank you. Setting and micro ok. I was just not happy the way I had to repeat and it was limited what it could do. 👍🏻

I tried the ’Hey PlayStation’ gimmick for almost 2 minutes then disabled it back. It’s useless and I don’t think it’s working well.
It worked better on the PS4.

@nofriendo
Yes I just mean not to take everything she says literally. I’m not sure what ‘our industry’ literally means here. So I guess she just talking generalities.

She probably doesn’t mean much.
‘I’m excited to see gaming become a bigger part of our (gaming?) industry: ‘.

@Max_the_German
No it’s cool because analysts will stop talking about it and focus on real console performances instead of expensive TV support.

Oh thank you. I couldn’t care less except a few months later nobody will ever talk about it again even less Digital Foundry because they can’t say PS doesn’t have it haha
They can focus on the majority of gamers now who rely on the real machines performance not on tricks to iron them.

I don’t give scores and if I did I’d like some method for it. There’s no difference to me (to qualify a games quality) between great, excellent and outstanding. It’s ridiculous semantic based number scale translating ‘better than good’

I’m sure these insiders are held accountable when they get everything wrong and not just remembered when they say common knowledge obvious stuff or get it right by chance once in a while right? Right?
👀👀 (my insider eyes)

BF next gen only on game pass day one and Splinter cell open world ? Right
Oh and Harry Potter game no chance of releasing this year right?

Please make good combat gameplay.

@Titntin
Yes I like that they have studios in different parts of the world. Canada 👍🏻

@Juanalf
First I think live services is rather vague but I don’t like the idea of GaaS. However I think Haven is working on an original concept.
If I don’t like what they do then whatever I don’t care where Sony put their investment but there’s no point hating on a new studio for no reason. I don’t think they are working on one game and then disappear would they. Building a studio from the ground up is a good thing in my book and we don’t know how they’ll be doing in the future.
Again it’s about a studio not just one game.

Edit
I read Sony asked them to work on 3 projects they have.

Why so much negativity here ???
You don’t even know what they are working on seriously. 🙄 your weird guys
Whatever. They helped build the studio and I guess it somehow makes sense.
We ll see how that goes.

@get2sammyb
I’d like to see it more focused on play your own adventure game (if that makes sense) than ‘combat’ game upgrading for more powerful spells and other repetitive stuff and rpg type upgrade that sound boring to me.

Oh wow I’ve just seen purexbox is relaying Tom (console) Warren misinformation. This is bad but is very rare in PlayStation. Unlike on Xbox Most PS5 and PS4 games don’t need the internet to play.
Journalists should be ashamed spreading false info.

I might be buying the game day one for reasons (support devs as opposed to irrational hate mob) but I’m not convinced about the gameplay yet. I like how it looks though. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Too early to ask.
Maybe but I’m now interested whereas I wasn’t before.
Still need to see more and reviews to get a feel of how it plays in particular repetitive combats and tedious rpg mechanics.

Edit
That’s how reviews can be informative and not random scores saying absolutely nothing of value regarding the way the game might be enjoyable to you (as opposed to being enjoyable to a professional)
It could say 10/10 but that’s say nothing about the gameplays being pleasant to you or not.

@RebRebel
Exactly my case. I never liked it. Neither the books or movies. Game looks cool though

Oh it looks cool. It wasn’t on my radar at all but I’m interested now.
How about those well known insiders echoed by the press about the game struggling and not coming any time soon though ? Haha yeah fire and forget till next time I know. 😅

Sounds like a used game pick up.

Its not a game, it’s an adventure. Even the updates are an adventure.
👍🏻

@rjejr
Oh yeah there are some intricate quest but sometimes it’s simple. I suppose you saw the pot guy in the first gameplay trailer. You free him and he helps you later. Even simpler not far from Godrick fog there s a hero girl you just talk to and she s available to summon near the fog.

Her dad is in the castle where you see a battle going on.

@rjejr
Good morning.
To get npc summon available sometimes you have to find them and talk to them first.
(And/or do their quest)

I’m trying to get interested in it and reading the article all I see sounds boring and outdated 🤷🏼‍♂️

Oh you mean the guys who said State of Play would be Sony big event and everyone ran with it and then forget they were predictably wrong in the first place but prefer hating on facts not meeting their expectation and shaking fist at the clouds?

Edit
Maybe stop quoting the xboxera guys. It’s getting ridiculous.
Quote about the March ‘show’
‘This is supposed to be the good one’

It was interesting and entertaining.
But it was a State of Play. If you expect something different it’s on you. 🤷🏼‍♂️
Stop listening to influencers. It’s been 2/3 years we’ve had State of Play. They are consistent.

It was good for a state of Play. Once again I don’t know what people were expecting. They never learn. Stop listening to influencers hyping State of Play.
Yet I’m sure next time again influencers (that’s including the press) will talk about MSG, Silent Hill etc etc. and again people will go Aarggh haha
🙄

Edit
How long has it been since they started these regular State of Play updates ? Two or three years? They are very consistent.
Come on people. You should know what to expect from it by now even if the internet tries to BS you.

@Culjoseth
Infuriating really? I don’t get it.
We’ve had state of play for a while now. We know what they are. Regular update of games every few months with some cool reveal but no real huge reveal. What’s infuriating is the false information from fake insiders making people believe in ridiculous reveal rumours.
What your asking is the bigger event they do once a year. It’s not that time yet. 🤷🏼‍♂️

People make a mountain of fake outrage out of every little insignificant detail. It would be funny if it wasn’t sad considering the state of the world. Pathetic complaint really.
They can remove any of these characters if they fancy it as far as I’m concerned.

All the fake insiders announcing the really big Sony event.
Yeah right. The worse is people and the press don’t take them accountable for their BS.
It’s a State of Play as expected every few months. No more no less. Interesting stuff as usual but not expecting big reveal as usual.

I predict the same people ranting about Sony supposedly abandoning Japanese developers will complain it’s mostly about them in the SoP. Haha

@Medic_Alert
The friendly emoticon meant to not take it too seriously.
I clearly said there are two cases of different state of play.
1. Focus on one or two known games.
2. And a few games reveals either indies or mixed with more important games (though not huge reveal). Either way never set high expectation on big game reveal for state of play. It’s very consistent.
No there’s no need for a commercial in it. SoP are (supposed to be) about games.
Have a lovely day.

@Medic_Alert
State of play dedicated to one game are great. The one about GT7 was excellent. Perfect State of Play.
Bite me 😅

That is the correct formula for State of Play.
Now they ALSO have other events with big reveals usually once a year. I forgot what it’s called but I think you are confusing the two different events. State of Play can have a few smaller reveals and indies but should not be confused with a big event and should not have that sort of expectation.

Nothing wrong dropping news on blog instead of making a show of everything. what would introduce PSVR2 in a hype show bring? Absolutely nothing. PSVR was reveal by Shu with his jacket on it to hide it. Haha. No need a show for everything

E3 2016 was excellent and a beautiful show. E3 2017 was already a bit weird in the format and trying to double down on musical tone. Sony then went too far in trying to make them event spectacular and entertaining (was it 2018?). It was really a bad format and the case for when trying to make a show ‘special’ goes wrong. (Shawn Layden (R))
Thankfully they came back to more to the point information which is what gamers need and not a entertaining glittering show.

The big showing event that only is once a year is a great format. 👍🏻

But you know it.

Sigh
Ok really dragging my feet into this one. Never felt any interest in GTA with characters I just feel… absolutely nothing about.
Is the story actually interesting somehow?

@TooBarFoo
Ha ok. I saw a few pc gamers reviewers or streamers complain about really annoying issues worse than on consoles. I guess everyone may have a different experience also considering the hardware they have.
That’s the thing though. Consoles have similar hardware so it makes it easier to see how well it runs

@TooBarFoo
I agree BB performance was so bad. And it was very highly regarded by critics.
Just to say I don’t get the fuss about PlayStation ER performance which is fine to me even in last gen from what I saw. A few issues but reasonable and not like the mess on PC.
I’m playing in quality mode haha
Maybe I’m old and used to ok performance but BB was definitely way way worse on PlayStation and still a classic masterpiece.

@lolwhatno
Oh thanks for reply.
Hope your enjoying the game as much as I do. 😀
Have a lovely day

@lolwhatno
Scores aren’t helping anyone even those who can’t read the review. At best it’s misleading. Scores don’t tell anything other than the reviewer s feeling and obligation to choose between a range of number saying how good or how ok or how bad they feel because unknown reason. And even that.

In all honesty the best help gamers would get is a short, very short sentence. Not a formula to choose from but a real expression dedicated to one game. Is it more difficult to read a sentence rather than a number?
No it’s not hard. Proof that numbers are only there because of a system in the gaming industry and not to help gamers.

Btw When Push is asked about metacritic they always reply they don’t score for metacritics and not interested in that. So considering the score to contribute to metacritics as a useful metric is false and not the intent.

Edit
Also a game is often evolving.
Imaging the review on pc for instance. ‘Exceptional game but poor performance at launch on PC’. I’m just giving an example. That sentence is more helpful than any score.

@XOF
Ikr
How could they ask people to score a game they are far from completing. Proof that it’s complete BS.
Even when we done with the game there’s probably a lot we missed and unable to fully appreciate anyway.

If at least there s a method like pts for graphics Art, sound effect, performance, setting, main story plot, side quests, combat, general gameplay etc etc then do average at least Id respect that. Would still be BS but at least I’d respect the attempt
I love the game really.
