Re: PS5 Gets a Staggering, Officially Licensed 8TB SSD

JohnKarnes

I have a 8TB external HDD for PS4 games and added 2 TB internal Samsung M.2 to my PS5. I can push PS5 games over to the HDD if I am not playing them. It's faster to just transfer them back over to the PS5 than downloading again if i want to play them again.

Re: PlayStation Likely to Go All-Digital By PS7, Analyst Predicts

JohnKarnes

I will not pay to borrow a game that is digital. I have hundreds of digital games from PS Plus member ship. That is only because of the low yearly price. I will leave PlayStation for Nintendo if they do digital only. At any point I could just relay on my 1,000's of game I still own dating back to MS DOS days to current times. Who remembers the original ZORK games.

Re: Poll: Years Later, How Do You Feel About PlayStation's PC Strategy?

JohnKarnes

I would not leave console for PC. For me Physical games is a MUST. I love the history tracking of trophies on console. I love playing games in 4K on a big screen TV. I love PS Plus essential. I love to keep more of my money in my pocket not in someone else's pocket. If every game was on every platform I would still be on PlayStation. Sony knows electronics.

Re: Poll: How Do You Feel About All of the Xbox Multiplatform Rumours?

JohnKarnes

There games Microsoft now own I would like to continue to play. Hellblade 2, Wolfenstein, Diablo. I know I would never pay $180 a year for game pass! I buy my must have games day one but others I wait for a sale price. So If Microsoft decides to sell any good single player game there is a good chance I will purchase some of them.

Re: PS Store Reloads with Almost 2,000 PS5, PS4 Deals

JohnKarnes

Most Physical games can be played without a internet connection ever. Black Friday I pick up almost every game thats on sale I don't already own thats $9.99 to $19.99. Average is about 8 each year. Really it not about what is the best way to buy your games! It's more about being able to buy YOUR choice.

Re: Accused GTA 6 Leaker Deemed Unfit to Stand Trial by Psychiatrists

JohnKarnes

He can be a accessory to the crime but not the person who was the perpetrator of the crime. Like if you just drive the get-a-way car when robbing a bank you still get charged with robbing a bank. Maybe the other person just used his computer knowing it would lead police to him. Thinking that way he could get away with the crime.

Re: Blizzard Nerfs Dungeons to Stop Rampant Diablo 4 XP Farming

JohnKarnes

Just play the game and enjoy it! I don't care or want to finish the game the faster. I don't get mad about Mtx because I refuse to buy them. I am sure blizzard did not intend for people to bypass a large amount of dungeons for just a few higher EXP dungeons. If players did not exploit this nothing would have changed.

Re: E3 Killed Itself, Says Summer Game Fest's Geoff Keighley

JohnKarnes

E3 thrived as a trade show and died as a consumer games fest. I am glad Keighley saved the summer game show and the game awards at the end of the year. Without it we would only have PlayStation directs. With third parties Dev's going to PlayStation and Microsoft it could end Keighley's shows.

Re: Soapbox: I No Longer Think Subscriptions Like PS Plus, Xbox Game Pass Are the Future of Gaming

JohnKarnes

The only reason Microsoft could do the subscription service is they had very few big titles to offer each Year. I got to a point that I was waiting to see the price Microsoft would charge once the deal with Actavision/Blizzard closed. Could they pump 5+ AAA games a year and charge way under the current cost of $69.99 for each game? Or will we end up with $300.+ subscription services?

Re: Soapbox: PSVR2 Already Feels Like It's on Course for Failure

JohnKarnes

I was excited about PSVR2 and was looking forward to buying day one. The lack of game titles made me take a giant step backwards. I needed to see a very strong line up of games for the price of PSVR2. We buy the hardware for access to software! How many good to great games should we expect for $550.00 price of hardware? So far its just not worth it.

Re: TV Show Review: The Last of Us (HBO) Episode 8 - Streamlining Hollows Out Iconic Moments

JohnKarnes

My family and I all gathers around to watch the show every week. We have all loved every show and the time spent together watching it. I am the only one to play the game. While my wife sat behind me on her computer playing Farmville and other Facebook games. She did turn around to watch me play many scenes.
The game gave me a real fear of the infected that was much more of a threat to me. While the Infected side was almost completely left out of the show, showing the Human side of the game was still a great story in itself. Maybe season 3 will show the infected side. That's a nice wish but I wouldn't hold my breath.

Re: Microsoft Admits Xbox Game Pass Is Harming Software Sales After All

JohnKarnes

Microsoft was hoping more PlayStation owners would jump ship and join Xbox, LOL. Then they allowed the price to be circumvented with the one dollar upgrade. Buying the games you really want over getting trash you would never play is the best choice.
What saves something like PS-Plus is its low cost. I expect many people buy Game Pass for $15 just on the months a big new game releases. Making for a even bigger loss for Microsoft.
