Re: Kena: Bridge of Spirits (PS5) - A Gorgeous Adventure with an Old-School Approach

JohnKarnes

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.

Re: Gulp! PS5 Stock Shortages Could Last Until 2023

JohnKarnes

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".

Re: Shawn Layden Reveals Why He Left Sony PlayStation

JohnKarnes

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!

Re: Poll: What Do You Think of the New Saints Row?

JohnKarnes

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.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 1.3 Adds Free DLC, Very Long List of Updates, Fixes

JohnKarnes

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.

Re: Talking Point: How Would You Improve PS Plus?

JohnKarnes

@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!!

Re: Talking Point: How Would You Improve PS Plus?

JohnKarnes

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!

Re: Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice Next-Gen Upgrade Skipping PS5

JohnKarnes

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.

Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Games for August 2021?

JohnKarnes

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.

Re: Upcoming PS5 Firmware Will Display Trophy Lists Vertically

JohnKarnes

I like the current themes on PS5, you get FREE theme's of the current game your playing along with music from that game.

As for the trophy list yeah I can scroll left-right just as easy as I can up-down.

Lastly the SSD upgrade, I will not be buying one until they hit $99 for 1Tb even if that is never.

Re: Jim Ryan Says Players Only Remember the Best Games

JohnKarnes

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.

Re: Xbox Boss Is a Big Fan of Sony's PS5 Controller

JohnKarnes

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.
