Are people aware that the social features have been thoroughly busted for months? Cross-play friend requests don't work for large swaths of the playerbase. It's a scandal they continue to tinker with balancing rather than fix the basics
@RiceC03 See, I'm tempted to sell my PC and my fat PS5 and just go Pro. Dealing with crashes, random bluetooth failures, and the genuinely unpleasant experience of Windows on a TV isn't worth it vs. a 3090-equiv. PlayStation
@NEStalgia I'm perfectly happy to pay $70-80 + DLC cost for the 250+ hours I got from HFW. I don't feel ripped off in the slightest. I'll get even more bang for the buck from Monster Hunter Wilds.
Your contention seems to be that AAA gaming needs to die and that the industry needs to make everything cheap, stupid, and loaded with live service gimmickry because today's kids are used to awful iPhone games marketed to them by Instagram ads.
My question is this: Are you Jim Ryan? If so, please tell us what Bluepoint is working on.
@NEStalgia The last thing I'd want to see is fewer ambitious, beautiful games like HFW. This is why I'm willing to pay more. Just speaking for myself, I'm willing to believe that price would drag down demand too much overall.
@PsBoxSwitchOwner 8-bit games were made with teams of 4-5 people, plus some testers. Horizon Forbidden West had 300 full-time employees working on it. C'mon man
Yeah I'm not surprised they don't want PS Stars to result in an instant $5 back if you do one of those monster annual subscription payments. If you combine PS Stars with Costco gift cards and buying digital games on sale you do pretty well.
@Neilypoos I also get the black screen. If you follow the onscreen instructions and put the sense controller on the floor when you are on the floor height step you'll get a decent basic play area.
Some report that if you try every USB port on your computer, you'll eventually find one that works. I'm fine with the basic play area for the moment so I haven't tried this.
The only real advantage PSVR2 has over PC competitors is Gran Turismo 7 exclusivity. I haven't played Alyx yet but GT7 is my favorite VR game by a country mile
Maybe in 3 years once they're done tuning it. Adding the horse to Elden Beast 2.5 years later makes me feel like they played blind darts with the boss design for ER

Re: Fresh Marathon Details Cover Heroes, Pricing, and Bungie's Silence
Giving players a small single-player or co-op campaign a la CoD would build so much goodwill...
Re: Vince Zampella Defends PS5 Pro Price, Says 'It's Actually Not That Bad'
The disc drive thing is a big greedy mistake.
Re: Pacific Drive's Latest PS5 Update Lets You Tinker with Wide Range of Difficulty Options
Play this fantastic game. GOTY for me.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Astro Bot?
@UltimateOtaku91 I just beat Splashing but only because of a tip from when I looked up reddit posts from others mad about it
For my money, Pacific Drive is GOTY
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Astro Bot?
8/10 for me. Too many of the challenge levels create "difficulty" by making the next obstacle impossible to see. Splashing Sprint is genuinely awful.
It's very good but it ain't Mario.
Re: State of Play Rumoured for This Month As Sony Looks Set to Skip PS Showcase in 2024
I'm one of the very few gamers who's interested in PS5 Pro at that price but I probably won't bother due to mismanagement of PS Studios
Re: Feature: Everything You Can Do in PS5's New Welcome Hub
I'm glad they finally added some friend activity back in the app but would prefer to see trophies there instead playtime stuff
Re: 13 More Games Join PS Plus Extra, Premium Next Week
Glad I dropped Extra/Premium. Along with Game Pass, they're becoming shovelware delivery systems that trick subscribers on behalf of investors

Re: All PS5 Pro Compatible Games
How about a lil' boost for Bloodborne? 😏
Re: PS5 Pro Announced, Costs $700 and Out in November
@Can-You-Believe-Sith Smart thinking.
@Jayslow 1000% agree there should be a PSVR2 apology bonus 😂

Re: PS5 Pro Announced, Costs $700 and Out in November
They sold me on it. I'm disappointed in myself, lol. Just seems like an indispensible GTA6 upgrade
Re: PS5 Pro Showcase Set for Tomorrow, Hosted by Mark Cerny
They have no games in the oven I guess 😭

Re: How Much Would You Pay for Your PS5 Games? Dev Says Industry Is Waiting for GTA 6 to Hike Prices
A $50 NES game in 1990 would cost $120 in today's dollars. With that in mind, I am personally okay with paying $80 for something like GTA 6.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Star Wars Outlaws?
Haven't even finished Jedi Survivor tbh
Re: Talking Point: Can PS5, PC Shooter Concord Be Saved?
Helldivers is genuinely funny and its story fits well with live service game design.
Concord has GotG-derivative characters fighting against clones of each other because... Overwatch was popular several years ago?

Re: Sony to Short-Change PS Stars Members with PS Plus Renewals Starting Next Year
@jrt87 Just cash them in at 1250 each there's no advantage in waiting

Re: Monster Hunter Wilds Confirms NPC Hunters, Perfect for Solo Players
I'm not really a fan of using of Followers unless it's driving the story, but I'm glad it's an option for others
Re: People Are Already Freaking Out Over Monster Hunter Wilds' PS5 Frame Rate
I'll take complex gameplay and visual fidelity over 60 fps every time 👍

Re: How to Play PSVR2 on PC with the PC Adapter
@Styledvinny79 My understanding is that won't work
Re: Cancellation of The Last of Us Online Was 'Not a Bloodless Endeavour'
TLOU2's perfect combat was bogged down by Druckmann's tedious script; Factions 2 would have been a killer app for the PS5. It's a crying shame.
Re: How to Play PSVR2 on PC with the PC Adapter
@Styledvinny79 No you need to plug in via displayport or virtuallink

Re: Sony Apparently Planned PSVR2 for PC from the Beginning
Eurogamer just reported the Sense controllers are a nightmare to get working with Windows which is very believable. Maybe I just get a Quest
Re: Sony Apparently Planned PSVR2 for PC from the Beginning
I would love to buy the adapter & am totally perplexed about where to order one

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 538
Disappointed with Flintlock but I'm head over heels for the wonderful Pacific Drive.
Re: Mini Review: Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn (PS5) - Yeah, It's Pretty Good
I liked the demo; I'm gonna support these guys because I absolutely loved Ashen.
Also, thank you Push Square team for keeping these comment threads "lite" on moronic BS.
Re: Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn Offers No Respite with PS5 Story Trailer, Extended Gameplay
@Specky It's def not a AAA game, the facial animations are basic. But it seems very good anyway
Re: Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn Offers No Respite with PS5 Story Trailer, Extended Gameplay
I'm playing the PC demo and I'm digging it.
