If you have a 4K HDR TV it's hard to turn it off for higher frame rates for me. The visuals pull me into the immersion of the game so much more. But hey, we all get to try both modes and get to pick what we each think is best for yourself. Win win!
Until they can figure out a single player non PVP game I don't care what they make. Multiplayer PVP are just for another group of people. Unless the game has a distraction or loop its impossible for Devs to keep up with the rate gamers consume that content.
Sony needs to have variety, something for everyone. No matter what type of games you enjoy . Chasing that golden goose is not a bad idea in fact they need it.
If people think a $30-$60 a year PS Plus in bad how would they feel on Micorsofts $59-$180 a year service each month when they are handed trash games on any given month!! Microsoft also are fading out out the upgrade loophole with new conversion tables for games with gold to game pass ultimate. Its also a one time thing they get locked out of the loophole once they use it.
I prefer to make my own choices for my games. I can buy a big title day one or wait for a deep discount! Why some people expect a $60 AAA game on a service that cost $4-$5 is far from my understanding. No I do Not want Game PASS Ultimate for $15 a MONTH. I do Not want a PlayStation service that cost $15 a month.
I bought it day one and would do it again. I played a little on my PS4 Pro but stopped waiting for a better experience on PS5 to continue playing. Continued with three 100% play throughs including all side quest. Filled my apartment gun rack, got the pet cat and all the apartment decorations. I avoided the police because they instantly popped in. Yeah I enjoyed my time playing but it could have been so much more.
I own both UC4 and UCLL on physical. I and upgraded to the $10 digital version. When the physical version come down in price I will buy that to add to my physical collection.
When you take the total number of any one games sales vs total number of consoles sold.Then you can see that no single game defines a console. I love my PlayStation because of its variety of many types of games.
There is no law the says you can have only one console! Even if it takes a few years to save for the second one. Fill your own needs with your own choices. Do what makes you happy. Stop worrying about other peoples choices.
PS Plus to me is a "yearly" service thats great. In fact I don't care about what Spartacus is at all. I just want to keep my low cost PS Plus service. I have been a member from PS3 two month after the start! People that pay by the month can even stop auto renew for any month they don't like! We know what each months games are before the next month starts.
As far a Xbox GOG or GP goes I have checked into Xbox services many times yearly. I have no problem buying one. I owned one once but did not play it enough so I sold it to use the money for a PSVR discount. I may buy another for Wolfenstine Diablo and Hellblade some time in the future when they come out. More then likely I will get game pass on my PC to play them for $10. Oh I did buy a Nintendo Switch in Jan this year I felt it was a better choice.
@JJ2 @thefourfoldroot @Neverwild @Martijn87 @BritneyfR_ee Thanks for the replies everyone, I was very lucky to get a PS5 at launch. The only way i knew to do a work around was to do it on a friends PS5. Each of your helpful replies may help another PS5 user. It also helped a old dog learn a new trick to better inform others.
You do know PS Plus changed to two ps4 games and one PS5 game per month a while back. With Planet Coaster Im sure the dev had a hand in what could be given away for the contract price given. The problem I see is PS4 owners can not claim the PS5 game for later when they can buy a PS5. Even though they are paying the same price for PS Plus as a current PS5 owner who can claim all 3. Sony will most likely change this to 1 PS4 game and 2 PS5 games in the future.Then the PS4 will be dropped with no games for PS4 and only 2 PS5 games will be given.
I want to replay both of the PS5 upgraded games. For $10 its a no brainer for me. Movie ticket or no movie ticket! I really don't get the naysayers here. Is this about it not being FREE? If I get a ticket in the US I will give it a chance. I will judge it from my own perspective. I just wish Sony could had gave us a choice to stream it at home.
Over the years I have bought the EA game I want at deep discounts around the Holiday season. Dragon Age, Need for Speed games, Mass Effect games. That and what EA games I have got on PS Plus gives me zero reason to add another ongoing payment plan.
Game pass at $15 a month is a loss leader! There is no margin to pay Sony for having Microsoft games on PlayStation. I am sure many people on XBox now subscribe to game pass only when a new game comes along and cancel at the end of the month then wait for the next new title to release.
It surprises me that people do not own all Uncharted games. Its one of the reasons to own a PlayStation. Just as much as God of War, Horizon, The last of Us, Ratchet and Clank and Spiderman.
Five dollars per game is nothing for the work done to remaster a game. The Movie ticket alone is worth the $10! Buying the game is a choice. It's fine not to purchase it, but to knock it down just because you don't want it or a $10 price is sadly wrong.
I don't care what trash comes out of Phil's mouth if Microsoft makes these games exclusive it Sony they are after!! They are hoping to pull from PlayStation's user base. Sony out sells Microsoft's by 2-1 in title sales most of the time now on multiplatform games.COD will have 1/3 the player base it had as a multiplatform game unless people on PlayStation switch or add a Xbox to there home. The truth will come out in 2023 when the buyout is handed over to Microsoft's lead.
Take a look back to see what game worlds you spent the most time in and what type of gamer you were.

Any PlayStation owner that has the Hots for Xbox games only needs to spend $680 to play them on a series X and game pass ultimate.Like i have said I will miss Diablo, Hellblade, and Wolfenstein! Will I drop $680 to play them No! It's Microsofts loss when they lose the sales to the PlayStation community.
We don't even know how this will effect the pricing of game pass or if Activision/Blizzard will be a new subscription you have to pay for! No one said they will add it FREE yet.
All that and I just picked up a Nintendo Switch OLED after Christmas They have more games I want to play over a new Xbox
I do not care about COD! However this is a big loss in revenue for Sony. Microsoft has taken away 3 games I would have pre-ordered. They are Diablo, Wolfenstine, and Hellblade. I could play them on my PC paying just $10 for one month when they come out on game pass. I picked up a Nintendo Switch OLED after Christmas. I now have something to fill in for the losses.
@nessisonett It's still a personal choice I would buy Flight Simulator defiantly! Psychonauts 2 maybe on a black Friday sale. Grand Turismo 7 over Forsa Horizon 5 it's just what I play and enjoy on PlayStation. In the US GP ultimate is $180 a year. That is over my price limit for games I don't know if or when I could play them. I see the best option would be to buy a month of gamepass ultimate only when a game came out that I wanted to play.
I see GamePass as a great option for Microsoft It seems to be helping them in console sales. I also hold no animosity for any XBox players or owners the are gamers just like me.
I just want to continue my PS Plus service at $59 a year and on sale in holiday season for $39!! I do NOT care for Game pass Ultimate at $180 a year. With games like Halo Free and MLB the Show 21 that I don't even care to play care to play. Microsoft is also closing the conversions of game pass to ultimate loophole now.
It would be so wrong to drop support to millions of PS4 users in the first few years. Many of those PS4 user having just bought their PS4 just 1-3 years before PS5 was released. Why would any Dev want to lose out on the bigger install base. You can make a PS5 game and downgrade it down to PS4 spec's just as easy as making a PS4 game and upgrading it to PS5.
There was a bunch of games that let you use the DS4 to play PSVR games. Sony has to know once you start BC like PS4 to PS5 everyone will expect it in the future!
I added 2 Switches to my household this Christmas. Granddaughter got a Switch light and I got a Switch OLED just after Christmas. Thought about Xbox but Switch won over it. Last Nintendo in our house was a Wii. I have always seen the best console it the one that best for you personally! As a single player gamer PlayStation is king in my book. Nintendo is second but still the best at simply fun joy of gaming. I feel Xbox is still looking for its path in gaming. I think its new studios will really bring them up once they get rolling with single player content.
As other I do start out reading it all. Some game it seem to trivial after a while. It needs to make me feel its important to the game or helpful in some way.
@PhhhCough @lolwhatno It not much more for pro member. The Trade in value was $330 for pro and $300 for the normal for trade in. I havent been to a game stop in years. We bought a switch light for the granddaughter for Christmas. The Only place I could find a yellow one was at GameStop online. I joined Pro for the points from the sale to maybe get a used game later.
I havent turned on the PS4 Pro in a year because I connected my Seagate expansion 8T Hdd to my PS5 with most of my PS4 games on it. I have all my past PlayStations I was hard to let the PS4 Pro go. Only because backwards compatibility working so well I did it.
@KidBoruto You should make a habit to add every game to your library. I been a PS+ member from the start and have plenty of games I don't think I will ever play now. But who knows what the future holds.
