Re: Soapbox: Having My PS5 Launch Day Nerfed By Amazon

@AhabSpampurse they have fulfilled their legal requirements so I don’t feel this is worthy of a complaint. The issue is more around the lack of putting affected customers at the head of the queue next time around, seems like a pretty simple request to me.

Re: UK Sales Charts: The Last of Us 2 Is Sony's Fastest Selling PS4 Game Ever in the UK

@Sanquine to be fair, the number of users that comment vs view an article is in the >0.1% range, so I think it's fair to say there would still be a good number of views without comments enabled. However, we don't WANT to discourage discussion, it's a big part of why we created the site... everyone here loves games and should be able to discuss them in a safe, friendly environment. Thankfully we've only ever had to shut down comments a couple of times over like 10 years.

Unfortunately @suikoden referring to them as "nasty man babies" doesn't help foster a friendly environment. It works both ways.

Re: Baldur's Gate 3 PS5 Port Possible After the RPG's PC Launch

@oldschool1987 no problem, in this case the sheer volume of comments was huge and I would have recommended deleting all off-topic comments. Again, if any are still there please feel free to report them or send me links. I imagine mods were dealing with the more aggressive/unsavoury comments rather than being unfair towards you intentionally.

Re: How Well Do You Know The Last of Us?

Hmm, turns out my memory isn’t as good as I thought.. only 9/15. Really need to find the time to play through this again before picking up the sequel. I’m always a couple of months behind you guys.

@oldschool1987 sorry, just came across this. From what I can see all the comments you were mentioned in were also deleted from that article and also some users were banned from the site as a result. Which are the comments that are still up? Have you reported them? If you could let us know either through the report tool or the contact form we’ll happy discuss further over email rather than on this article.

Re: Shuhei Yoshida Shuts Down Xbox Boss' Comments on VR

antdickens

@rjejr they are apples and oranges, completely different devices for completely different purposes. Sure they both, technically, are VR devices (much like google cardboard is the same as Valve Index) but one is an actual platform and the other, isn’t. It’s pretty simple really.

Re: Guide: Will Half-Life: Alyx Ever Come to PSVR?

antdickens

Personally I'd love to see Valve and Sony do a deal on content for some of these flagship games - that helps promote VR as a medium rather than individual platforms. Whilst this looks amazingly good, I really don't like the idea of buying another platform just to play this... fingers crossed for a deal anyway.

Re: Guide: PS4 Copying Update Files - Why Does It Take So Long?

antdickens

I have to say, this has become quite painful recently. As others, an update to GT Sport takes over an hour, which is mad for minor updates. The download is fairly fast, it's the copy process (on a PS4 Pro) that is quite laughable. I feel like Sony do need to address this if possible and hopefully pre-empt similar issues for PS5.
