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

JohnKarnes

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.

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.
