My biggest worry is my back catalog of games and PS Plus games that I do not have or could even fit on my PS3 or Vita.
I am sure most of the people here would want to look over the store to buy a few more titles if they went on last days sale. Not knowing that they will still be available for download really hurts.
After I purchased a 4K HDR TV for my PS4-Pro I was done with PSVR1! The hassle was real and HDMI ports are prone to breakage. I did not want to risk what I think was the number one reason for PS4 to fail.
Sony PlayStation should have stepped up and fixed this HDR Issue. At the very least offered a new breakout box for sale.
I was as excited about the new PSVR for PS5 at first. But now I really don't know if I will purchase one. Buying a 4k TV and upgrading to A PS4 Pro along with Sony's lack or resolution for the issue has left me with a bitter feeling for PSVR. I still have not received my camera adapter to try PSVR on my PS5.
I have refused to buy and play a few games that require online trophies. Its not to smart to add online trophies to a mostly single player game just because you can.
As a general rule No. I will for some for trophies or added free content at a later date. Sometimes I will play through a game 2-3 time while i am playing it like all w characters on Cyberpunk 2077. I don't count that as replaying because I never stopped playing it.
I also play quite a few remasters and remakes I don't think of that as replaying a game. Most of them are stand alone games with a new trophy list. I have 3,000 hours in No Mans Sky, I go back to it every time a new patch comes out with added content.
The bottom line is how many people are going to pick Microsoft over Sony because the now own Bethesda. Knowing Sony still has it Powerhouse of game studios! Don't forget Game Pass is in transition to Game Pass Ultimate at $180 a year! No doubt it hurts Sony now that they lost revenue from the sale Bethesda games. But that could be made up by more sales in Sony's games. Earnings report will tell the whole story.
I own quit a few of of the games but, the only one I ever played to the end is the Wolfenstein games. Anyone can buy a Xbox or PC to play them! It's not like they are just gone. I have a very able PC but I wont bother.
I'm going to try to be as clear as I can because that's what I, I just think it's fair. Any game not on Playstation does not exist! There is no reason to even think about it.
The music was just there until I hit GPU that's when I started to notice all of the music in the game. Many times I stopped playing just to focus on the music.
@GREGORIAN
I last played No Mans sky 117 days ago I have put 2317 hrs into it. I dont need to mine anything I have more than I will ever use of everything. What about collecting ships I have 6 S class ships all with max slot and weapons with a living ship. I want the best carrier so I worked to get a Capital ship with max slots even built a base on it. I have bases on a few very nice planets with portals to them and a portal at my home base and capital ship. I got the platinum trophy long ago. I made every item you can cooked all the foods. set up farms to get items from creatures at my base planet. Got full rep with factions.Did mission to derelict ship and on planets for quicksilver. Bought most of the items on the anomaly. Plan to revisit No mans Sky to hatch a egg for the new creature pets you can now do. I have found a lot of things to do in No Mans Sky long after the very start of the game.
I also loved Elite dangerous thats based on our own solar system. have not played it in a long time My ship is in our galaxy (SOL system) so I can fly around earth. I know millions of people hated the game, but I just love space games.
I really like the Wolfenstein games, If they are box exclusive then it just is what it is. I am not going to play them on my PC or loose any sleep over it! I feel its Bethesda that is the looser here.
I had the PS golds the hinges never broke, but the ear padding pealed off. I used them very little I play mostly with out headphones. Hope my new my PS5 headset will not do the same.
I bought Spider-man Miles Morales along with Spider-man remaster. Yes it was $10 more for a game I had played but I still enjoyed playing the remaster once again on PS5.
@GREGORIAN In No Mans Sky the story is about YOU and your journey and discovery. Tera-forming a whole planet 🌏 is way beyond a advanced space ship. There is no doubt Hello Games has done good by making and improving the game all for free! That's what I posted about. People Love and Hate every game and that's fine.
What I like most in VR is a 3D world and sense of scale. What I Want in PSVR2 is more games. I would love to see more AAA titles in VR. They could even be done in 180 view in third person! Seeing behind me is not that important for every game. Up Down,Left and right view is fine for some titles. With a character as a focal point should help VR sickness also.
LOL most people didn't accept $59! I did but only for must have AAA games. I understanding selling game to people that only buy 1-3 games a year $70. But it hurts a lot more for big fans that buy 10 or more every year..
Depends on content,price,and if I have time to play it. I have a very big back log of PS4 games that I haven't touched dew to new titles and PS+ games I am playing. I am extending my game time by going for the platinum on every game I play on my PS5.
@TheFrenchiestFry That is the reason I have no problem with some PlayStation exclusive games going to PC after 1-2- or 3 years. PC gamers had a big issue with PC games going to console. PC gamers are a big Part of Sony PlayStations fans and own one as well as a PC. Some will never want to wait years for new PlayStation titles.
PS: Elite Dangerous and Diablo made me so happy coming to PlayStation. Although I had played them on PC also.
Any one care to guess at the number of PC games that have been ported to PlayStation? Games that where launched as PC only at first. Many games that now days, day and date launch on both platforms. It would be a very sad time if PC games took the ONLY on PC direction.
What about development time? Sony making games on another platform is time taken away from making you know PlayStation games. What happens when PlayStation consople sales numbers fall? Install base is a important factor and gives a platform a lot of extra advantages. There are millions of people that play on more then one console. Sony exclusive games drive these people to include it as a system seller to them.
@Gmork___ The original had a break out box with no HDR pass-through You had to unplug the PS4 HDMI cable from that box. Then remove the second HDMI cable that came from box. Then plug you ps4 HDMI cable back directly into your TV. Unless you have A 4K HDR TV then there was no need to swap.
@AhmadSumadi People with more money then brains drive scalpers. Some will go in debt and pay interest making them pay even more. I can not imagine why they feel this is the right thing to do.
Calling the release date now November 2023! I stopped using my PSVR because of all the hassle with the wires and no HDR pass-through. HDMI plugs are easy to damage with constant swapping.
Only event I have to look forward to is the Game Awards now. State of play needs a time schedule!! Just like E3 and the Game Awards people need I set date to look forward to.
I still have my Diablo II colledtors edition sitting in my book shelf along with the Diablo II expansion box. Blizzard was King back in the day on PC. Diablo, Warcraft, StarCraft, World of Warcraft i still think of the best games ever made.
I play on PS5 and yes Cyberpunk 2077 still crashes on me one or more times a day. However I love it. A restart is very quick on PS5 and i am right back in action. I am still playing it daily and on my 3rd play through as Corpo. Do not try to rush this game slow down take it all in.
This doesn't give me a good feeling for this game. I never buy dlc. I may have to wait for a $9.99 discount and not buy the up-sale digital dlc. No matter how much I love Ratchet and Clank. This would have been the first game I would be willing to pay $69.99 for.
I got a PS5 pre- order in but it took a lot of time and persistence. Started trying at 5PM when sales started to go live. I stayed online till I got a order in at 3AM. I had full intentions to go to a local store and line up at 4AM.
Next lets make the consoles out of paper to cut back on plastic. It was my thinking everyone is going all digital anyway. Of course I would have no problem if they went to all steelbook cases!!!!
Every time I hear about a game being very difficult it turns me away from it. Persistence always wins but why bother. I may pick it up at 75% off being i may only play 25% of the game.

Re: Soapbox: Why Do You Replay Games?
