Re: PlayStation Home Trademark Renewal Has Fans Dreaming

JohnKarnes

I was not into the social part of PS Home. But did enjoy the daily quest to play mini games and more! Ended up getting all the trophies also. I would purchase A PS Home like game that gave you stuff to do daily or weekly. That allowed to to earn and purchase Items.

Re: Poll: Is PlayStation Plus Video Pass the Right Way to Expand PS Plus?

JohnKarnes

It seems if Sony feels the need to change things? The best thing to do is make a new service called PS+Now. Combine both services PS-Plus and PS-Now and charge $99.99 a year for both. This would entice more single service member to join both services. No service should be stuck at a forever price! Let everyone know the price will rise 1%-3% each year for inflation.
This should lower Price hike shock in most. Going up $1 a year is better than $10 in 10 years all at once. Even more so for Sony.

The current services should remain intact and Online multiplayer Play should be added to PS-Now also!! As a single service both should remain at current Price of $59.99 a year.

Re: Days Gone Director on Skipped Sequel: 'If You Love a Game, Buy It at F***ing Full Price'

JohnKarnes

I kinda agree with him. How many times have you seen people ask for a big AAA game to come to PS+ while the game was already one sale for under $20 maybe even under $10!

I have a list of big AAA games I will always buy day one. I also have second tier games I wait for sales on. I also have bought a few games on deep sale I haven't even played just to add them to my collection of physical games.

Re: Talking Point: What's Next for Cyberpunk 2077, and the State of the Game on PS5, PS4

JohnKarnes

I Only played Cyberpunk on the PS5. I played all 3 factions to completion and earned the Platinum Trophy. My issues were crashes and need to restart and that was very annoying at first. By the time I finished everything in the game I had to play a about 12 hours straight for a crash to happen.

When the PS5 version comes out I will Platinum that also! Maybe I will put in another 559 hours of play time like I did on the PS4 version of this game.

Re: Poll: Do You Use These Two Forgotten PS5 Features?

JohnKarnes

I do not play multiplayer games so i will never use Accolades.

I have cleaned my controller and outside of my PS5 several times.
I will only clean out my Fan and Dust Catchers every 6 months to a year. So yeah I had planed to open it up sometime this month.

Re: PS Plus Oversight Is a Bummer for PS3, PS Vita Owners

JohnKarnes

How can people care so much about a free PS Plus game. But when it dropped from $59 to $19.99 or less then $10. they never gave It a second thought. Yes Sony really should have fixed this long ago. I see it as both sides not caring enough about the games in question to take action. By that I mean buy it on physical disc when it was at a super low price instead of waiting for plus to give it to them.

Re: Soapbox: I Don't Think Sony's Obsession with PS5 Blockbusters Aligns with Reality

JohnKarnes

Just Stop listening to the background noise and let Sony be Sony! The PS3 made some big mistakes What Sony do they fixed it within that generation! Microsoft had 7 years to fix Xbox One. They never did it.

When you are laying down 100's of millions of dollars You better get it right! Big blockbuster games Need that attention and focus on them. There are many great smaller games they are finished faster and need less time and attention because of scale. I can't see the future and I see no reason to worry and doubt today.

Re: Reaction: Days Gone Was PS4's Black Sheep, But a Darn Good Open World Game

JohnKarnes

Of all the Sony criticism lately This is the only one I agree with. However it's weight seems to be diminished in shuffle of bad PR lately. As a motorcycle rider myself, the upgraded bike felt great. The horde was a great mechanic its seemed serious and made me feel the threat they posed. The game immersed me into the Days Gone world. It's a shame and what i personally feel is a mistake from Sony to never do a sequel to Days Gone.

Re: Rumour: Sony Planning 'Counterpunch' to Xbox Game Pass

JohnKarnes

@BrainHacker Will Microsoft lock it down so you can take that offer only once? Or will they end the all the offers anytime soon? At some point you going to get stuck at posted price $180. There are now conversion tables I think GWG is no a longer month for month conversion.

Re: Rumour: Sony Planning 'Counterpunch' to Xbox Game Pass

JohnKarnes

@Hypnotoad107 Playstation Now has a ridiculous assortment of games with over 800 games, that twice as much and Game pass.

Sony also given PS5 owners the PS Plus Collection it's good for all of 2021. Long as you can snag a PS5 this year your good. They are PS5 Only.

The two list are yours to download & keep forever! reguardless of membership. For PS4 owners and PS5 owners. This does not include the 3 games per month you can get with PS+ GamePass Ultimate with no discounts cost $180 a Year. While PS+ and PS-Now combined cost $118 with no discounts! At full price I like that PS+ and PS-Now are NOT combined given everyone the choice of one the other or combined by subscribing to both. Btw I got my last Year of PS+ for $29.99!

Re: Rumour: Sony Planning 'Counterpunch' to Xbox Game Pass

JohnKarnes

Oh yeah just what everybody wants on PlayStation a $180 a year subscription service!!! NO. What has Game Pass done for Xbox. I have looked hard at Game Pass. Not once have I thought gee I need to run out and buy a XBox and Game Pass! I am more then happy with my PlayStation and its low cost 2 services. Don't screw up PlayStation Plus!

Re: Poll: Is PlayStation Losing Ground to Xbox?

JohnKarnes

@get2sammyb
Do you have a XBox and game pass subscription? I don't understand what has made Game pass so exciting all of a sudden. Is it a Sports game that clearly MLB forced Sony to put on XBox, Free games day one, or A great game showing up on PS-Now knowing most probably most don't have both Now and Plus. I will argue PS Plus titles given are far above anything XBox has done so far and at 1third the price per year!

I have continued to look at Xbox and Game Pass so far I still have not bought into Xbox or Game Pass. It feels like I am seeing the words XBox more than the name PlayStation!

Re: Rejoice! Hot Wheels Unleashed Looks Like a Ton of Fun

JohnKarnes

I am ready for this Game it looks like a lot of fun playing. I am a little worried about the price and sale of add on cars. I miss the day when you earned things in game and did not have to buy them. People had to show they wanted short cuts and were willing to pay without putting in the time for rewards.

Re: PS Now's New Games Are PS4 Only, Sony Confirms No PS5 Upgrade Path

JohnKarnes

I am Happy with PS+ as it is and think Sony is doing a great job with the service and its price. They need to change nothing about PS+! I subbed to PS+ on the 3rd month when it came out on PS3 with no laps in service.

I don't want PS Now I paid for one year but only played about 45 minutes playing Lemmings. So many new titles were coming out I didn't have time to use PS-Now. I'm not really into older games but Sony dropped the price to $59 and i decided to give it a try.

PS-Now is about there the 800 games on PS-Now! Not the ONE game they put out that's also on PS + for the people that do not have a sub to PS+ and only one to PS-Now. Even if it happened 20 times that's 20 out of over 800 games. There are two tiers right now you can already combine the two services by buying both.

I do not want Game Pass! If I did I would have bought a XBox. I have looked into it several times look for a reason to purchase a XBox. From what i saw the answer was no thanks.

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

JohnKarnes

@thefourfoldroot
First I do not want a "ONE" service. Combining both would cost more and there is no guarantee any discount would be added. Making the service $118 a year.

It would have been very easy for me to be upset Days Gone was added at all. I own almost every major AAA PS4 game on physical disc. I do not want any of them to come on PS +. I have had to look over months in a row also, when they were added. Sony has added many games I paid for. I have asked myself why purchase so many new physical titles when they are handed out like trick or treat candy free. But that is also why I love PS + and have been a member for 11 years. There are still more then enough that I do not own.

There is another way to look at the services. PS Now is more about the 100's of game that are already in the games list. Not the few titles added each month so much. While PS + is more about online play and a small few games that are given each month. I think every one subbed to PS+ or PS-Now or both have felt disappointment every year at times. I don't think that takes away for its over all value for the full year.

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

JohnKarnes

@thefourfoldroot
As a PS+ only member I do not think its fair to give a title to one membership service and not the other. Especially one as good as Days Gone! PS-Now only subscribers I am sure feel the same. Its my guess that most do not sub to both services. Getting titles you already have is common or seeing titles on PS-Now. I see little difference between that and getting one on both subscriptions. The only thing that is important is do you see value in the service over the year of membership.

Re: Poll: Rate Your Favourite PS3 Games

JohnKarnes

@Daleaf lol, I had to buy Hannah Montana and get it on my trophy list because so many people were ashamed and wanted it off their trophy list. My guess a lot of school kids getting teased from friends.

Re: Poll: Rate Your Favourite PS3 Games

JohnKarnes

@TrueAssassin86x Yup I did, Sorry to say I kinda agree with him have not turned on my PS3 in 7+ years. I only have about 40 PS3 games but I loved most of them. Including my PS+ games on PS4 I have about 300 PS4 games that took all my time away from PS3.

Re: Pinball FX Is Coming to PS5 in 2021, But You'll Need to Rebuy Your Tables

JohnKarnes

I own all but 3 tables (96 of 99 tables) I still need to purchase them. I look forward to playing new tables on PS5. But I doubt I will purchase every table again if any at all. Maybe with a 50% discount for people that already own them.

I was so grateful that Zen allowed free upgrades to the tables from PS3 to PS4. I made a commitment to purchase every table I did not have and every new table they made. Also The PSVR tables. I will be open to continue to purchase all New PS5 tables but not what I already own on PS4.

Tables I would love to see are:
Elvira
anything very old and new SyFy
themes from video games
themes from holidays
