Re: Talking Point: Did Sony Lie About PS5?

I said no, but not for the reason in the poll. It’s clear that they didn’t know so many of them would be scalped. Then continuing to support the ps4 is in response to that as they know so if the games were all ps5 exclusive they wouldn’t make a profit

@LordSteev
Theres a few reasons single player games have to connect to a server.

The devs want to know how you play the game. This can allow them to know what areas of the game people spent more time on so they know what areas to expand on in DLC
They can record bugs if the game crashes so they can figure out what happened better to replicate the bug

I'm sure there are other reasons, but it is still an annoying thing to experience in single-player games. The least they could do is give the player the option. I know Doom and Dark Souls try to keep the player online. You can still play the game if you disconnect from the wifi.

Re: Soapbox: Why Do You Replay Games?

Radbot42

I used to replay games all the time, but now I struggle too. When I was a kid I didn't have that many games (lies I just had more time, the pool of games I had was indeed smaller than I do now but looking back it was a lot)

My current backlog is sitting at 30 with a bunch of new games I'm looking forward too as well. Combine that with finishing my Masters it will be a long time before I get caught up.

Re: Reaction: How Does It Keep Going Wrong for Big Game Launches?

IMO it comes down to needing more money and they need to get that from us the consumer. They'd rather release a broken product that they can fix instead of having to pull the plug. They should have just released it on PC with the promise of it coming to consoles when it was ready. The fact that PC seems to be going good, but PS4/5 is not shows they should have done 1 over the other.

Re: Pokémon-Like MMO Temtem Is Coming to PS4

Cant be sewed as everything is just different enough. Have you seen all the phone game rip offs? There's also so many zelda indie rip offs, even on nintendo consoles. As long as they dont use any pokemon 1:1 they will be all set

Re: Soapbox: I Miss the Mystery of Video Games

I made sure to ignore every ad for Breath of the Wild, as i knew I was buying it. All i needed was a release date. I loved the experience of not knowing what I was getting into as devs these days love to spoil the surprise. Did the same thing for The Dark Knight. Didn't know Dent was going to be in it until I was waiting on line.
