@FullbringIchigo I was going to trade my PS4 Pro in on day one for the PS5 but it looks like that may not be the case.
I think it is very strange what they are doing tbh. They say it is the same architecture but it runs too fast for PS4 games. Can they just not tweak the speed down to emulate the PS4.
I do not understand TikTok. I have it installed but it is pointless. the only thing I see coming from it is terrible #challenges which kill people. Must be a way to thin out the stupid.
They tell us to use the blog which is a damn ghost town! I hate that Sony has no communication with the fans unless you send a meme to their twitter account
This is an terrible update. I have had the service for many years and the past few months have been bad. I hate the short time on the marquee games and that we only get 3 games now! The worst part is that we have no where to voice our complaints!
Yeah, this is a really bad article sorry. You have taken a Tweet thread and spun it up into an article basically saying it has no credibility. This is nearly as bad as when you 1st posted the "what we know about the PS5" a while back and the article contained nothing useful!
The comments are more entertaining that this body and that was worth the click!
Not just developers though. Sony EU has terrible support and contact. You cannot ask simple things or even have a laugh with them over Twitter for example. Perfect example is this: have you ever had an issue with PS Now? Contacting eu support is laughable
For me Sony has recently p*ssed me off with the Now ‘update’. 1st month was strong and then it has gone down bank. I cannot raise any concerns to anyone as their support is crap and their Twitter is utter rubbish too.
Have you every used ask PlayStation? It is a joke.
We have the same issue with Plus. Basically here are you games now leave us alone.
It is 2019 nearly 2020 and they have NO platform for communication. Sony are getting cocky...
@themcnoisy I took a few in the early days but it feels like a gimmick now (For example people loosing their sh*t if a game has no photo mode) but each to their own and I am sure some are really good
This is really old news. It has been like this since we could download PS4 games. You are only reporting on it now because Ps Now has become up front and centre....
I ended up buying my daughter an Xbox One Digital version in Black Friday for just over £100 with an extra controller. For what she wants it for, it is perfect
The security was in two parts - one on the hardware and the other on the disk. The part on the hardware was the actually logo, and when the security passed on the disk side, is when it showed the text at the bottom. Kinda like a key and lock security
@get2sammyb Sometimes it is not the change that puts people off, it is the price tag that follows with it. For example, Death Stranding does not sound like my type of game as the review here made it sound like delivery boy simulator with one of the pros being the management system of equipment. For me, being a delivery boy for a lot of the game sounds terrible; I have yet to complete RDR2 due to how long it takes get places. And as for equipment management, again the review compares it to RE4 & personally, it was the weakest part of that game (apart from guiding Ashley around everywhere, that is!)
That said, if and when the price tag drops & I see more gameplay footage, I will no doubt pick it up. It was the same for PSVR, it was a lot of money to try something different. I experienced at an expo and did not understand why it was so good but I did later find out that the damn assistant did not set me up correctly! Again, I caved a year later when a bundle came up that was too good to miss and I am glad I did.
As streaming, @kyleforrester87, I don't understand it to be honest. Why would I want to watch someone play a game that I can go out and purchase myself? To me it is utter madness but I get that some people love it. I see streamers leaving Twitch to go to Mixer and I ask, who are they? 🤣
@solocapers totally agree with you here. The review score did not match the words in the body. It was a case of, yes the game is boring at parts (reads on how FF13 was), but.... this is Kojima so we will let him off. I said before, the reviewer gives the final score as they are the only one who has played the game but when the text and score don't match, it really gets to me as some will just read the conclusion and score.
@Constable_What ok last question lol Is it possible to pick up and play when ever? I am lucky to play once or twice a week for a couple of hours at the moment.
@Ralizah if some one pitched that to me as a game, I would not be the least bit interested. And that is the reason why this game does not do it for me.
I may buy it at some point but no time soon. i have had borderlands 3 sitting on my ps4 since launch and i have not loaded it up once
@parvaz1 This very site's review states the gameplay loop is practically identical to Dark Souls, but it's the ways in which Nioh differs from the Souls series that are the most compelling
It is the game play loop that puts me off, but....
it is "free" so might as will give it ago
@ThePathsofPain is it a clone of the "git gud" model of keeping trying the same part over and over? If so, still a no go. Not to sound like a casual 🤣 but I have limited tim to play these days
@LegendOfStewart This is my issue with this review too. The reviewer can give a game what ever score they feel but the text does not match the score here
This sounds like "Fetch Quest : The Game" which I do believe is the most hated style of quest in the gaming community 😂
My interest was low for this title for a while especially since nothing was given out what the game play was going to be like and now it is confirmed as a delivery boy simulator, I think I will be giving this one a miss.
Each to their own but this does not sound like a 10/10 game.
@supergurr I agree with out here. A 10/10 should have no flaws (in my opinion) and this has a con about certain scenes dragging on which I have seen knock points of a review in the past. Plus how is weigh management a Pro? Personally, I prefer games where that is sorted out for me, that is why Fallout 4 with added weigh cap mod is just perfect 🙂
@FullbringIchigo I feel the bat mobile ruined the "boss" fights, especially at the end. I hated the damn thing and put no upgrade points into it and the last section was a knightmare!
In this generation i feel Sony have always got at least four solid foundation games and these smaller games are the parts in between (bricks, windows etc) Players will come for the foundations and more than likely end up trying out the smaller parts, eventually
So how does this work for those "pro" streamers who are paid to play Fortnite all the time? I use pro lightly as I still do not understand the appeal of streamers.
@rjejr After the unforgettable PSN network hack of 2011, the PS3 AND PSP master keys were leaked. The PS3 ones were fixed but guess what? The PSP one was not so if you were buying a PSP Go around that time, I doubt the network being down was the biggest problem the sailors of the 7 seas had.
Personally, the PSP Go is an amazing machine and I still use it today. Both for actual PSP games and some homebrew. It is amazing what systems it can emulate. So powerful
Could you have not just linked to the main PS Now site?
It amazes me how much attention the service has got in the past few days because of the price drop.
I wish it got this amount of attention in the past but that is a failing on Sony's part... mainly.
Like Game Pass will eventually replace the Games With gold, PS Now will replace PS+ Games.
Also, @get2sammyb why not put the platform next to the game? I must admit is made me laugh as the PS Now App does not do this either 🤣

Re: Poll: Are You Happy With Your PS Plus Games for November 2019?

Re: Death Stranding - Hideo Kojima's Next Revolutionary Masterpiece
