Re: When Will PS5 Exclusives Drop in Price on PS Store?

JohnKarnes

Of course they will hold prices longer. We are in the first year of launch for the system. Its going to take more games competing for your gaming dollar to force quicker price drops. Sony does not want everyone to adopt the wait until the price drops attitude.

Re: Soapbox: I'm Beyond Excited for PS5's Next-Gen PSVR

JohnKarnes

I'm still on the fence. I bought PSVR V1 at launch and bought the bundle with the controllers. I really want PSVR 2 but there is a lot of things to consider for me.

Things like can Sony get it to be BC with PS4 titles. Then the most important thing the Price, this VR could be $499 or more. I also need to see a good line up of titles that are in the works.

Re: Poll: Are You Sold on Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart?

JohnKarnes

Every Ratchet & Clank game has been great but one that was all for One and it was still a good game. Ratchet & Clank, God of War, The Last of Us, Uncharted and Diablo 4 are the only games I am willing to pay $69 for! These games have proven many times they are worth it.

Re: Sony on PS5 Stock: Don't Expect a 'Drastic' Supply Increase This Year

JohnKarnes

I bought a PS4 at launch and played twice as much on my PS3 than I did on PS4. Its great that you can play PS4 games on PS5 without the need to keep a PS4 connected to play PS4 games. It will be sometime in 2022 when the need to fill some of your PS5 gaming time with PS4 titles will fade to zero.

Shortages were the same then even without supply shortages for PS4 at launch. The Demand is driving the current shortages not chip shortages. Sony is producing more PS5 than it did PS4's.

Re: PS Plus May 2021 PS5, PS4 Games Announced

JohnKarnes

Happy to be getting a driving game on PS5 for PS Plus. That along with the campaign I can play on BF 5 as a solo player and give Stranded Deep a look on PS4. Making this a Great month of games I don't think I would have purchased.

Sometimes a game I own gets added to PS Plus, But the majority of Titles are games I don't own. That is why I still Love PS Plus. I dont get why people complain about a small number Plus games being added to PS Now when they have a library a over 800 game library to play.

Re: PS Plus May 2021 PS5, PS4 Games Announced

JohnKarnes

@JapaneseSonic
PS Now says Over 800 games are on PS Now!! With a library that size what does a few titles being on both subscriptions take away from PS Now? Absolutely nothing with over 800 other games you can play.

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.

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.
