Re: Sony Testing PSVR2 Compatibility on PC, Aiming for This Year

People complaining in the thread for no good reason. It's great that Sony is offering compatibility for a peripheral across platforms. They should have done this at launch. Sure, there are other products available that are more current, but if you already have one, it's a great entry into the hobby. Plus you don't have to buy multiple headsets and contribute to e-waste.

Re: Despite Circling Wolves, CD Projekt Red Not Interested in Being Acquired

@LifeGirl Not luck. It was a great idea from a well regarded studio that got rushed out too early. It sold well, but then got pulled from storefronts because of technical issues. Most games where the developer "fixed it later" had no hype in the first place or had no cache built up in their studio. Many of us held out because we believed that CD Project would make good. They did, and we ate it up.

Re: Sony Says PS Portal Wasn't Designed to Make a Profit

Some people in here have no clue how bad Bluetooth latency is... especially when you are streaming to another device. That is why most headsets have a USB dongle. Normal Bluetooth really doesn't cut it for gaming. Buy a set of wired headphones or spring for the earbuds from Sony that include a USB dongle to reduce latency. If they opened the door to all Bluetooth headphones then they would get nonstop complaints about audio not fully syncing up properly with the gameplay.

Re: PS5 Slim's Digital Edition Gets a Stealth Price Increase in USA

Chalk this up to inflation. This is the first time in my memory where there is a price increase mid-gen when a slimmer system is released. I think they would have increased it further but they did tricky stuff like charging extra for a stand and a disk drive to make the base cost as cheap as they possibly could. I don't know what their margin is on the system, but typically they are sold at a break even cost or even at a loss to the manufacturer.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty (PS5) - Excellent Expansion Is Cyberpunk's Blood and Wine

@StylesT But you can leave a comment to let us all know. You should give it a go if you still own it. I have held off until update 2.0. I am finishing up Forbidden West first and then firing it up. They f----- up the launch but I am willing to give games another go after the dev team has put heavy work into them. No Mans Sky is one of my favorite games and I only figured that out because I decided to give it a chance after the bad press.

Re: The Witcher 3 PS5 Patch 4.02 Improves Performance, Fixes Bugs

@Max_the_German For a game of that size, they could probably bug fix for eternity. There will never be a game that is bug free and doesn't need updates. The dev teams just has to get it to a place where the bugs aren't noticeable and game breaking. The Witcher 3 is a finished product. It is just in perpetual polish mode until the dev team decides that it is not worth the continued support.

Re: The Response to Rocksteady's Suicide Squad Has Been Abysmal

What if the game actually ends up being fun though? Isn't that the end goal for a game? Something people enjoy playing. I know it's a departure from past games, but sometimes that ends up being a good thing. I love Destiny 2 and I can't imagine it being any better or worse if they took the live service features out. It is just a genuinely enjoyable game that I can come back to on a periodic basis.
