I've got my PS3 still out to this day and I will keep it as long as it still works for all my PS3 games, if they shut the store at some point I just hope they don't block trophy syncing.
I have a lot of PS3 games in my backlog and just syncing to my profile is all I need as the store on PS3 is awfully slow. Hardly no games anyway and no sales and stupid prices I mean £50 for Farcry 4
@Milomaine I miss the days I would go into my local electronix boutique shop to see all the big large PC games boxes on the shelves. Along with 3DFX Voodoo boxes, Creative Labs sound cards and joysticks etc. The entire mod to WoW and then PS2, Xbox and GameCube games the staff were also proper gamers at my local as well. Me and my friend used to go on every Tuesday during college see what was new or cheap and they'd ask what we were playing or let us know the pre order dates for games
If their is an IP that needs to come back it's Soul Reaver for god please let this be real, the story along is one of the best and the voice acting for the characters just made it even better. I hope they keep the original voices I really do they just need to make it work on today hardware with some quality of life improvements
Friend bought me it on PC we was doing 3 players but one friend just did everything in mins I on the other hand had no clue what to do. Like to get a part for my ship it wasn't really clear on how to get it so I gave up on it might try and go back to it give it another go solo
When the first trailer aired I thought it was going to be a animated movie or a Guardians of Galaxy type game not a Overwatch game which again no one wanted another.
I can't remember the last time I bought a Humble Bundle for charity, my first ever one was Dead Island, Just Cause 2 and few others for Steam back in 2012. The only game I had on my steam account was Fallout New Vegas lol, but the industry is on a downward spiral.
I've uninstalled it from my PS5 and PC and taking a break from it I'll be back in September when the next patch comes out and that depends on what it breaks and fixes. And if there's any new stuff to buy
Now EA tested the waters after all these years have seen the results and how every editing will follow the Madden series the same game every year with a number increase from now on but with stupid higher prices
I really think this is a waste of hardware when PS6 is what 2 year away unless they extend the PS5 to 10 years. I don't think the PS5 really have been used to it's potential really
I now believe it's the Microsoft big wigs above Phil Spencer and the European CEO (if they have one) since the buyout of Acti/Blizz it's clear that shareholders are not happy because of the potential late returns. And the only way to claw back that amount of money earlier is too release games on other platforms and get Gamepass on every device early. It's Xcloud service isn't the best from what I've read and seen for some modern games, I've only ever used it to stream Dead Space 1 through the Xbox app on PC when I had Gamepass.
With the price increase as well and the lack of games for it's own console and the belief they don't even fully support there own system. It's clear who's now in charge it's not Phil Spencer and co
Even though it's a rubbish broken piece of crap I won't play GTA San Andreas because it's never on that long. GTA 3 was on and only up for a month wasn't it it won't let me redownload it anyway says I'm locked out so I assume it's been put back under GTA+ which is a joke of a subscription
Got to be an inside job it must have been who else has access to a working build it just won't have been on someone's personal laptop or something. I wonder whoever it was something happened for them to do it has to be a reason
Over the years the from PS2s launch and this game a friend of mine would constantly buy this and then trade it back and buy it again. I bet you he's going to play it
Good Unisoft deserve what they get clearly didn't do enough research and clearly tried to fill the book with what they could to make a profit wether it was one thing. They could have contacted the group for advice and this may not have happened
Is it me or does feel like Embracer have gone in and just destroyed the gaming industry based on the back of getting a money deal with the Saudis. Surly this should have been a warning if that's basically were the money was in the first place.
It's feels like they lied about their profits and money they had in order to buy these studios with no way to actually run them unless they got that deal.
Well it's going to be mid August till we see any new content because it's summer holidays in Sweden and they take it very serious does its government. Also it's issues with bugs and releasing things broken hasn't helped, it's got a small team and they don't have a testing team or a decent sized one.
They basically release content as we end up testing it for them for them to release a hotfix, but the last big patch broken loads of other stuff that wasn't broken before. On PC they can't add friends at all Social tab is missing and there's been no news on if they are fixing that asap.
It hype was bound to drop after a few months but the bugs, lack of content because they've had to fix issues also have set them back.
For me it's lack of new Orbital strikes and eagles we've just had loads of support weapons
Playing the Ezio trilogy again on PS5 (PS4 versions) loved the Ezio saga I don't think any of them need a remake except AC1.
They'll probably add ship battles to them all!
But I got to Black Flag and I couldn't finish it I've had it for PS3 since launch I even pre orders AC3 on PS3 but that ran like crap and I couldn't get into it. So me it ended at the Ezio Trilogy it's were my enjoyment for it was the most
I've had BL3 on PC for months Epic gave it away for free about 4 months ago I think, it's not that good to be honest compared to BL1 and 2. Sports games just not interested in should have given a few extra to select like sports tier or 2 other games it you select that tier the sports games are taken away.
I'll be downgrading to the lowest tier right now I don't play anything from the stuff they give me I just play SP games and Helldivers 2
Off topic I can tell you one thing Xbox 360 games are starting to rise in price in 2md hand shops, only 1 month and a week left till the 360 store gets shut down and 2nd hand shops are starting to raise them. Blue Dragon is now £15-20 even some PS3 games are stupid high GTA4 and DLC is £12-18 used it's starting to get a little crazy and that's CEX prices
I really miss the early 2000s with electronics boutique, Game station days
@ATaco And now it wants to bring them back ?? Irony at its best because 2024 isn't going to be massive for Sonys big titles and yet I don't think they are even pushing for Indies either
Games from Dark Souls, Bloodborne and Eden Ring are for a set crowd they always have been based on it's difficulty. The amount of people I know who have told me oh I'm playing Dark Souls and I'm like "Good Luck".
For only about 2 weeks later I ask how's it going and they've told me they quit in rage, and I happily remind them that's what the games are famous for. Incredible world of characters and world with mad boss fights and plenty of them.
If he's going to change it in the future then your franchise that is famous for it will be no more. To cater to people who don't like it been difficult should go elsewhere I for one have never played them because I know my rage would be through the roof and to me that's not me enjoying it so I don't bother.
Best hope it's not like Inquisition same moves for everyone which is what annoyed me the most. Mage magic was all the same I was hoping for loads of different spells etc
@Matroska I believe it was all in the coding for the CELL is the reason why it looks years for games to finally play and look decent. One would assume it's about how and what they used for the games and if the PS4 or PS5 can run the instruction set and coding properly.
Me myself I believe they've been waiting to do a Nintendo and slap them all under the subscription system. But they do allow you to buy it individually at a high price
@nomither6 I wish you'd think they would do for people who only own that system and there people who still do we can't be ignorant about it. I have my PS3 still because I am collecting classic games that I love and can't play on PS5.
But again you'd think they would just do a sale it's still income for it
Day 1 for me if the ports right that's my biggest question for damn sure I can't believe they just announced it like they did, I can't wait to play MvC1 again THE ARCADE VERSION
I had it on PS1 and it was a stripped out joke of a game you couldn't even swap out your character during the fight. The game was slow and hard to pull off stuff I don't even think you could do cross over supers as well I never managed to pull one off
Now I just need Alien Vs Predator Arcade if this can happen surly that could next
@nomither6 I have a ton of games that I could still download to it and I'm collecting disc versions as well when I see a game I want and I still have lie 796GB left best upgrade I've done. I could mod the console but I really don't want too just want to leave it as it should be. Though I think I will change the coin battery in it soon as my PS2s is dead but it's ridiculous to get to it
@sanderson72 Why I kept my PS3 and I managed to get a PS2 chunky off an old work colleague for £10 with a controller and official memory card. Great working condition too the coin battery is dead as the time doesn't save but I was looking into replacing it but have to totally dismantle the system to get to the battery to replace
Some of these games I've had on PC for years Farcry 4 especially the rest I'm not interested in one bit I really may just drop down to the lowest tier because I just play Helldivers 2 online that's it and the rest are single player
Where going for the kids but tomorrow (Thursday) is big patch day which we hope will fix a crap load of stuff. From the spear reticle issue to the Mechs been rubbish when firing missiles to reversing some nerf to Warbond weapons hopefully.
I how to also see some cut downs on some strategems especially the orbital rail cannon strike for a one shot not guaranteed instant kill to a Bile Tital it's cooldown is far too dam high
@nomither6 Still think to this day PS3 is the best blu ray player I still have my PS3 slim (non slide door version) I use it for very that and to play some of my classics. I still collect PS3 games I loved from 2nd hand stores and I try to buy games of it's store. Just installed a 1TB HDD in it to make sure I've got plenty of space
