Re: Hot Wheels Unleashed Passes 1 Million Units Sold

JohnKarnes

Its just a fun game. I picked it up at Walmart because I wanted their Exclusive: "Challenge Accepted Edition". that came with a Hot Wheels car. It gives you a Map path you follow doing races at each point. The free drop boxes with new cars are fun to collect.

Re: Reaction: Merging PS Plus and PS Now Makes Sense, But an Xbox Game Pass Competitor Can't Be Half-Arsed

@Bleachedsmiles What is this Value of game pass you talk about? I have looked at Xbox One and Xbox One X for value to see about buying one for game pass access. I have not seen value equal to or nothing to make me feel it was better than PlayStation! If I did I would also own both consoles. I don't say this with any biases towards Xbox gamers or conformation of my choice is "the best for everyone". What each individual enjoys most is what right for them!

I only sub to PS Plus and have from it's start. I subbed to PS now when it dropped to $59 for a year. I used it a grand total of 30 minuts to one hour the whole year I had it, I played Lemmings LOL. I buy a lot of games on Playstation New. My top focus in gaming is single player games! I don't play old or retro games I put a lot of time into them when they were new games. I know I missed Ori, Sunset Overdrive and Cuphead new, But that's not enough to justify a new $500 console and game pass.

Sony is adding a PS Plus and PS Now subscription bundle that's what everyone wanted. Right? Now it's not enough some people want so much more. Seems crazy to me when they could just add both the their cart and buy them as a bundle already!

PS Plus was on sale in the USA this year for 39$ was it not on sale in the UK? Jumping from $40-$60 a year, to something like Xbox's $180 a year is a jump I will not make. I would use that money to buy games I want to play. Heck I bought 5 Physical games on black Friday for $110! Three of them were PS5 games and one was Guardians of the Galaxy. It's easy to top game pass ultimate just buying your own games for less.

Re: Talking Point: Is Sony Being Stingy with PS5's First-Party Pricing?

JohnKarnes

The Problem may be that $20 off a $70 game in the first year "FEEL'S" Like its less of a discount. The new price still being $50 not $40 like it was on PS4.

Anyone and everyone can wait for games to hit that $60 price of last gen or less. But many just don't have the ability to do so! Is this Sony's fault or the individual consumers?

Re: Feature: PS5 Report Card - How Is It After One Year?

JohnKarnes

After hearing the fan noise on my PS4 Pro for years, I am ecstatic about my PS5. The First year of PS4 I mostly played on my PS3. I was well prepared for what PS5's first year would be like. Because I have a external HDD for my PS4 games I had no issue with SSD storage space.

The PS5 is amazing, well worth my $500. I have always felt the best console is the current console from PS1 through to now PS5. I cant wait to see what PSVR will bring to the PS5.

Re: No Man's Sky's Latest Expedition Is All About Giant Sandworms

JohnKarnes

I began playing day one and enjoyed playing solo with zero remorse for my purchase. Started this new Expedition soon as it went live this morning. I am doing the Settlement building also. Long live No Man's Sky! As long as they give us new things to do I well continue to play the game. At This point I wouldn't mind and would gladly pay for some of the content they add.

Re: Soapbox: Some Games Assume You Know How to Play Them, and It's Kinda Weird

My 20 year old daughter won a PS4 from Taco Bell. She liked to play MMO's on PC. After trying to play on the console for a year she gave up, and gave it to my wife for Netflix watching. She went back to what she was more familiar with on PC.

I myself have had games I took a while to get into and enjoyed much more in the second half of the game when all the controls and combo-buttons became second nature.

Re: Review: Diablo 2: Resurrected (PS5) - This 21-Year Belated Console Debut Still Impresses

JohnKarnes

I have played World of Warcraft, Starcraft, and Diablo from Blizzard on PC. I have and will buy and play ever one they put on consoles! Woman who work at Blizzard decided not to quit and took action. We should support the woman who did that. I am supporting womwn that still work at Blizzard. I would hate to see them lose there jobs because Blizzard closed down after all they went through.

Pre-ordered Diablo 2 and will do the same for Diablo 4

Re: Kratos Actor Christopher Judge Says God of War Ragnarok Was Delayed 'Because of Me'

JohnKarnes

This is not about people and what they say. This is not about Best game ever!

This is about Christopher Judge and Santa Monica Studio's. Two entities that have qualities we all could use more of. I could sit in a room and listen to him repeat one word all day long "Boy" The man gave me goose bumps when he said "read it Boy" on the awards show! The Santa Monica Studio's Director on God of War Cory Barlog seems to be a man with a big heart packed with kindness.

Christopher Judge is the God of War, the game would not be the same with out him. I will gladly wait for the next chapter in the game.While knowing everything is leading down a good outcome and compassionate road to completion.

Re: God of War Wins IGN's Big Best Video Game of All Time Poll

JohnKarnes

I would have enjoyed a game of the year from the start of home gaming to today more! But the game I played most and paid the most for in all time was "World of Warcraft" from launch to 8 years later almost exclusively on PC. Most gamers today are to young to qualify for voting on Best Game Ever.
