Thanx for reminder, pushsquare. I checked my capture options if they are still all switched off. Now update where I can get rid off all activity cards and I'll be happy like puppy.
@NeonPizza My words. They have full mouth of "how perfectly challenging is this <insert souls-like rpg name>" but if it is about challenging platformer they cry like little babies. They used to automatic jumps which are in all games now.
...da hell I get lust for replaying Prince of Persia Sands of Time triology. 🤣
@TrickyDicky99 same here. two years back I bought around 10 ps5 games (8 times I burned my fingers with pretty bad choice). Last year it was just Diablo 4 (big flop) and FF16.
...and that's why I stopped buying games and clearing my singleplayer backlog...
I'm not willing to support wasting my money on GaaSes. When tides turn then we will see. Enough is I paid PS+ for this year... but no more money for Sony from my side.
It is fun to see how people whine on "30fps is almost unplayable". You should live in era of first OpenGL games, where was no fps lock and you was happy to play game even on 16fps.
"Go and kill that final boss for me." "No sir, why should I do that?" "Because I'm hero on level 1 with sword in hand that can cut your throat in a blink of an eye. Now stop talking and go kill that final boss!!!"
let's see how soon whole game population extinct or run away...
@Bamila Perfect idea! They should make one huge multiplayer GaaS for those few who want it and stop bother the world with another GaaSes and finally focus on singleplayer. But this simple logic doesn't meet with Sony's lust for flushing money down the toilet...
@KidRisky While everybody knows demo is one time thing, some of them are time limited e.g. unplayable later, so why it should plague my library? This is pretty bad system for demos.
BTW I use "hide" in library to separate finished games.
And I thought I was sole firestarter here on pushsquare... 🤣
Anyway
I don't play demos since I've tried one (FF7R demo) and it got stuck in library, cannot be deleted from library and won't disappear even if you get full version. Seriously, why it should be in library forever?
When I imagine how much it costs to make and maintain GaaS while knowing no one wants it... There is higher chance to get rich by flushing money down the toilet in hope toilet fairy turn it into golden leaves.
Why they don't optimise size? In a world where games are still copy/paste I don't see reason to use that Mark Cernys' hydra file system (or how is that called)?
Because FF7 was first game I ever seen on Playstation (and reason to buy PS someday) I'm not big fan of these remakes. And I'm not fan of lenghtening games at all. I'll wait what part 3 brings, but right now I rather play original FF7...
Still not finished Valhalla. One day I may squeeze my teeth and finish it, but it is so bad... There is definitely no place in my life for another screwed AC game. ...I rather play thru AC 1 to AC Syndicate for a third time...
Thank you Jim. Even if I consider rushing PS5 release (could wait until 2022 and be polished) and GaaS games as huge misstep, the rest of your work was very good.
Still don't get that buzz arround BB remake? That game has good graphics (if you are colorblind nevermind - it has no colors). And gameplay is... as it is. So I don't see any reason for remake. Nightmare Creatures deserves remake, not Bloodborne...
I tried to play FF7 about 10 times and always got somewhere around first witch boss fight, so I still never finished that game yet... Must work on it, but now I'm very busy with FF16.
@Vorflynn Unfortunately most studios are owned by publishers and they don't care quality. They set release date and care ONLY sales. They've been given too much power and they turned fun into mass production. And unfortunately customers accepted it and buy (even blindly preorder) like a crazy everything and than complain about quality ...but buy.
It is like Netflix, daily new movies, zero artistic value.
@GeeEssEff OK, I have a taste to play... ohh I have to browse my 230+ games library to find THAT game. I found it... but I like to listen to my favorite music... ohh it is not on Spotify, nevermind I have it on flash in mp3... ohh it cannot be played, because no media player, nevermind I have it on CD and PS5 have mechanic... ohh it hasn't any CD player...
Don't know how more explain PS4 could do ALL of this and there is no reason why PS5 cannot but still can't.

Re: Talking Point: How Do You Feel About the PS5 Pro?
If it is followed by release of at least 5 AAA (not AAAA) singleplayer PS5 ONLY games, than it may have some sense.
