Re: PS Plus Reaches Record Number of Subscribers on PS5, PS4

JohnKarnes

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.

Re: Possible Cyberpunk 2077 PS5 Cover Spotted on PlayStation Servers, News Could Be Incoming

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.

Re: French Retailer Warns PS5 Players to Choose Console Carefully After Xbox's Activision Acquisition

JohnKarnes

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.

Re: Reaction: We Need to Talk About Tiny Tina on PS Plus

JohnKarnes

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.

Re: Sony's PS Plus, PS Now Cross-Gen Bullsh*t Continues

@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.

Re: Sony's PS Plus, PS Now Cross-Gen Bullsh*t Continues

JohnKarnes

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.

Re: The Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection Launch Trailer Is Here

JohnKarnes

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.

Re: Xbox Boss 'Trusts' PlayStation Not to Damage Gaming Industry, Cautions Against Tech Giants

JohnKarnes

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.

Re: All These Activision Blizzard Studios Will Likely Cease PlayStation Development

JohnKarnes

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

Re: Xbox Boss Reacts to PS Plus, PS Now Rumours, Says It's the 'Right Answer'

JohnKarnes

@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.

Re: Reaction: Can We Chill Out About Sony's Commitment to PS4, Please?

JohnKarnes

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.

Re: Supply Constrained PS5 Sold Almost 1 Million Units in Japan in 2021

JohnKarnes

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.

Re: PS Plus' PS5, PS4 Games for January 2022 Announced

JohnKarnes

@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.
