Improved stat tracking is at the top of my list. Everything you listed has votes, there is no reason not to do them all for the PlayStation community as a whole.
Only complaint I have is, why the heck are people buying PS+ by the MONTH?! If you don't buy PS+ at its lowest sale price buy the YEAR your doing it wrong! If you don't judge the service by the year's full offerings, your doing it wrong.
People buy products from China where they have suicide nets around some factory's and never bat a eye. Food from farmers that use underpaid migrant workers. Sweat shops for clothing. Even Apple has been called out. In order to mitigate all bad practices you would need to grow your own food and make all your own products. Yet Blizzard with 5 guys out of 100's of employees is the line they choose not to pass.
I pre-ordered Diablo 2 because I tend to judge the product over looking into internal practices of every company's product I purchase.
Kena looks and sounds like a great game I look forward to purchasing it soon as I have time to play it hopefully on physical Disc.
Just finished No Mans Sky Expedition 3 for the rewards. Guess I will return to Diablo 3 Season 24 for the last 2 season items I need to finish for the pet reward.
We got to see some faces and not just a announcers voice made me very happy. After the long wait it was just good to hear from Sony. While every title didn't grab my attention, the ones that did made it a very good showing for me.
More PS5's are being sold then PS4's did at launch of the consoles. Can you really call this a shortage when over 2 million more PS5's have been sole than PS4's in the same amount of time? Demand is up people that search harder are getting them. What has happened to all the "I will wait a year or two before I get a PS5 here".
Do not look back to see how many games on PS3 got "free" PS4 upgrades. Paid upgraded games meant you buy it again. Just like PS5 it was very hard to find a PS4 for the first year. Know whats really going to hurt? That first PS5 ONLY game.
I liked Jack Tretton the most, he was a very public figure. He had a almost celebrity status. Shawn Layden was second but out shined by Shuhei Yoshida as a public figure.
Hermen Hulst is far from leading Playstation in the wrong direction. He is also faced with the challenge of the road blocks of the Covid pandemic! Lets face it he will be judged on the success of PlayStation 5 and its library of games!
From January to today PS-Plus has already more then paid for my yearly subscription price. I have yet to see a single year that PS-Plus has failed to return more than it cost in games alone. I am talking from when it started on PS3!
I would have been happier if they made Agents of Mayhem 2 and not this game whatever it is! Agents of Mayhem would have still been a day one buy. It wasn't great but a ok fun play by the time I finished it. I will wait on reviews and score the game gets before I even think about buying it. Bad thing is I feel they are going to be in the toilet because so many preformed opinions.
No mention of unique weapons and abilities or silly over the top innuendos makes this not seem like a Saints Row game. Going for the adolescent (10-24) group really toned down from it's past.
While I love Saints Row I did not see anything in the trailer that said Saints Row at all. Lets hope they did not drop the things that made Saints Row what it was.
Never was much of a Spiderman fan, I was more into Fantastic Four comic books as a Kid. That said Spiderman on PS4 and PS5 and movies made me a big fan of Spiderman. So I get the connection and see the PS5 controller ad as a cool thing to do.
Bee-thesda no longer flies in the blue skys of Playstation. It's went green with team X its games are no longer sold like sweet honey 🍯 but handed out free like the apple 🍏 to snow white.
I bought Cyberpunk 2077 day one, if i had to do it all over again I would still make that purchase! I did 100% of all 3 factions with every side quest. The only issue I had was the random crashes yes I hated them. When I moved over to PS5 to play two of the factions they were far less often. If Cyberpunk was bug free it would have been Game of the Year.
@TheGrizMan Game pass triggers me but in the opposite direction. It why I never want to see anything like game pass on playstation. Take a look at the new Halo quality was so bad Xbox users rage forced Microsoft to delay the game to improve it! Then look at the $180.00 a year price tag! Yeah you can get around it now. I guarantee at some point the ways around full price will be cut out.
I will continue to look for a reason to buy a Xbox series X but so far X box game pass seems like a cruel joke. Microsoft is holding out a carrot and always talking about whats coming. To date for the last 8 years its still somehow not arrived!!
The only reason people want PS Plus and PS Now combined is they "think" that it would come at a discount price! Why not just ask for what you really want? You want a discount for PS Now if you already subscribe to PS Plus!!!
There is zero need to combine anything and force both services on anyone that does not want both!
Continued Discounts will only lead to Continued less Quality Games!
@JAMes-BroWWWn
Astro's playroom was free I did not purchase it, but of I did play and love it. For me the other titles, they are not day one purchase. I will pick some of them up when on sale.
Year one PS4 purchases :
Drive Club (pre-order) didn't release till Oct 2014
Killzone
Knack
Infamous Second Son
Spiderman 2
Last of Us Remaster
Diablo III
Infamous First Light
Destiny
Year One PS5 (so far) :
Spider Man Miles Morales
Ratchet & Clank
Marvel Advengers
If I wanted gamepass I would buy a Xbox. If I wanted a combined PS Plus and PSNow I would combined I would do it myself and buy both! Anime is not for me I would never pay for it.
I don't think Sony is willing to discount PSPlus and PSNow, both are only $5.00 a month now! If Sony did discount them I feel the games offered quality would drop more.
Great game I really enjoyed playing it. I feel this is a reality check, it belongs to Microsoft now! Microsoft bought Ninja Theory to give people another reason to buy a Xbox. Not to release Microsoft games on it's only real competitors console. Especially one that has been dominating Microsoft for years.
Once again Price will be a big factor on how well PSVR2 will do. I would love if more flat screen games would use VR just for the 3D effect VR can do! There is no reason to leave out 3rd person VR3D games. All games don't have to be full blown first person view VR games.
Not happy or sad it just a nothing month for me. Still going to ad them to my library even with no intent to play them ever, but ya never know. I never have expected every month of PS+ to have something I want. Over all I still love all the good to great game I have gotten over the last 8 years as a member.
I already have storage it's called blu-ray disc! I also have a 8Tb external 3.5" drive that I paid $189. for all my PS4 games. I tend to focus on just 1-3 games anyway and stick with them.
Instead of hope for it to be a VR game or not a VR game. Lets hope it will include both versions! Regardless of its play modes it will be a day one must have for PlayStation for me.
I remember Blockbuster's Grand opening about 1/2 mile from my house. They had a 1948 Tucker car on display in the store. I was a weekly renter of movies from them. There was another Blockbuster that stayed open long after the franchise closed a few miles away.
The screen is the only reason I don't own a switch! If Nintendo had a lower cost stand alone switchless console I would have purchased one long ago! I don't need or want a mobile gaming platform. I own a vita and a smart phone for that but its extremely rare I use them for that purpose. I have a 43" 4K TV that's dedicated for my PC and PS5 only.
@Rhaoulos For me it was the simple fact that a good retail stand alone 4K blu-ray player is much more expensive. It was a deal at half the cost or more. Same as the blu-ray in the PS3 sold consoles.
I don't care what he says, I do care what he does. It's a fair statement, I tend to remember the games I feel are great from Resogun and Stardew Valley to God of War and The Last of Us 2.
While gamer's cant agree on what are the best games on PlayStation. I think we can agree PlayStation has the greatest games we all love.
If you get a PS5 charging station and start out with a FULL battery every time you play. You don't run out of battery life often. I will buy a translucent clear crystal controller when Sony drops one. Then never have to plug in the charging cable because I want to do a + 8 hour gaming session.
I will add another unrecognized disk issue. I tend to play a single game for a long period of time and leave the disk in the PS5. It seems like the PS5 does not spin up the disk and check it when turning it on with your current game left in the drive.
I take religion more serious than this. Heavenly Peter really? It's a definite No for me. I was hoping the game would have played the opposite direction.
Pandemic and we live in the age of negatives. I have never put much faith in crystal ball readers! People complain when games are announced to far in advance but, a good surprise launch is always welcomed.
