Re: Here's How Sony Put 40,000 Tiny PlayStation Symbols on the PS5 Pad

JohnKarnes

I love that Sony went with the White color and textured symbols. I have never paid attention to the hardware console much at all. I continue to pay attention to the way PS5 and accessories looks for a few seconds every time I turn it on. With my headphones draped across the top and the charging station pressed up to the front of the console it all goes together very well.

Re: PS Plus: What Is It and Is It Worth It?

JohnKarnes

To get the most of PS Plus you need to subscribe by the year!! Plus tends to go on sale in November 2020 it was $44.99 in the USA that is $3.75 a month. Protecting all my game saves online is well worth that price alone. Now with 1 PS5 game and 2 PS4 games each month its still the best deal in gaming for $3.75 a month!

Re: PS Plus February 2021 PS5, PS4 Games Announced

I have Concrete Genie I picked it up black Friday for $7.99. Doesn't matter I haven't opened the physical copy yet and can now keep it sealed! Destruction Allstars and Control I want to try. At this point I feel PS Plus by the year has already paid for it self for all of 2021.

Re: Is It Worth Buying a PS4 in 2021?

JohnKarnes

@Flaming_Kaiser Waiting a year is not a bad thing, some were still having trouble finding a PS4 at that point. Games will come to PS5 that you can not buy on PS4 ever like Ratchet &Clank. People at this point should wait and save more money if they need to for a PS5. Even if it takes them a year or more. You are also getting a PS4 + a PS5 when you buy a PS5!

Re: Is It Worth Buying a PS4 in 2021?

JohnKarnes

I see people saying buy a ps4 now and get ps5 in a few years why? Even if you get a ps4 for $200 then spend $499 for a ps5 you are paying a extra $200 or $699 to get to a PS5. The PS5 will likely have a 7 year life buy the PS5 and enjoy its full life cycle. Don't forget you get 20 blockbuster games FREE when you purchase a PS5.

If you do not have a 4K HDR TV that should be your first priority not a game console. Most TV's are used more than game consoles. I bought a TCL 43" 4K HDR TV for $250 new. That same model is still on sale today.

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

JohnKarnes

I am indifferent about this month. I want to try ManEater. I have not played it, but it seem to be good from other's comments. After the one year delay in the ps4 version of Rise of the tomb raider I lost interest in Tomb Raider. I did end up buying it on black Friday sale for like $14.99 but only put about a hour into it.

I may get to Greedfall at some point. but I got BorderLands 3, Concrere Genie, Red Dead Redemption, and CyberPunk 2077 for Christmas! I am really into CyberPunk 2077 despite the errors/restarts. I can see myself playing this for the most of January.

Re: Soapbox: I Can't Keep Up with Service Games

@Tasuki WOW hooked a lot of people. I still think it the greatest single game I ever played. Funny that the same reason I left it's just a single game. At the time I really thought I might go back when the next expansion came out. But PS4 and all the choices I had in new games spoiled me.

Re: Soapbox: I Can't Keep Up with Service Games

JohnKarnes

World of WarCraft best MMO ever had me hooked for 8 years. I left PC and came full time PS4 gamer in 2013. I played a little on PS3, ps2 and PS1 but they were mostly for the kids. I never want to get sucked into one or a handful of games again.

Re: Game of the Year: Sammy's Top 5 PS5, PS4 Games of 2020

JohnKarnes

I am loving Cyberpunk on PS5, I can only guess there is a lot more issues on PS4. I completed the Street Kid (male) with the bad ending and now am doing Nomad (female) hoping to get a better ending.

As far as Tlou 2 yes it was my pick for game of the year. I hated some of the events in the game. The emotions pulled me into the game more in the end. Loved it.

Re: Game of the Year: #5 - Astro's Playroom

JohnKarnes

Thinking about Astro's Playroom I seem to dismiss it as game of the Year material because it was Free and short. But thinking about it, it's still a award winning title. Much like the way I loved Resogun at launch of the PS4, but even more so.
