Re: PS Plus Extra, PS Plus Premium Now Live Across the USA

dougphisig

Premium selection is terrible, they really dropped the ball on that. I wonder if they decided to skimp on that because of the upgrade to premium associated with NOW in hopes they'll beef that up over time and then hope people will renew it next year after they beef it up over time. If I hadn't gotten NOW for that upgrade I would have totally skipped premium as it's just not worth it between the PS3 being streaming only & the terrible lack of actual PSP, PS1, PS2 games that should have been here. Also if you look at the RPG genre which is my favorite there's definitely a big hole there. Feels like a lot of fluff selections.

Re: Reminder: PS Plus Extra, Premium Launch in North America Today

Well it's launched in the US and I'm officially super dang disappointed as it appears like they didn't add anymore PSP, PS1, PS2 games the list is so damned tiny. Definitely making me regret thus far grabbing PS now to get the premium for the next year. I sure how they beef up the numbers of these older games as that's one of the only reasons to have the best tier. At the least for now I'm finally grabbing death stranding and ghosts of tsushima to check out. So far looking through the list i've just not been impressed at what's to offer at launch. Also I still don't think there's 700+ games they were flaunting.

Re: Square Enix Confirms No Delay for Final Fantasy VII Remake, But Physical Copies Could Be Postponed

Yeah kind of disappointed my physical deluxe version is on delay. I really am looking forward to playing, but I do know my backlog keeps staring me at the face anyways, and that a few weeks delay is not the worst. I'm going to keep it for now, but if they push it out to far i'll probably cancel it and just get the normal version locally at a walmart or something.

Re: Final Fantasy VII Remake Will Still Be an Episodic Release

Horrible decision, and if they try to charge full price per episode they will lose so much money. If it's 3 episodes and each are 20 bucks I can understand sort of, however it shouldn't even be episodic in the first place. Plain and simply this is a money grab in my opinion, and it's going to be even worse if it's more than 3 episodes. Also what if they pull a FFXV, oh I guess we're done with DLC sorry we aren't finishing the episodes, or heck look at that half life 2 episode 3 that never came out. Unfortunately this will still be bought up, but I can tell you they may price people out of it if they try to put each episode out at too high a price.

Re: PSVR's Install Base Soars Past 4.2 Million Units Worldwide

dougphisig

I've barely used my PSVR, it's definitely really cool, but most of the cool stuff i've seen has been so bite size in experience mostly being demos only. I think Skyrim VR & Borderlands 2 VR would be cool to play, but I've already played the heck out of those games. However NMS I have never played so this might give me a reason to finally check out the game. I still don't know if 4.2 million units is really a soaring amount, it still feels like such a small drop in the bucket being less than 5% of the user base for PS4.

Re: UK Sales Charts: Final Fantasy XII Heralds the Zodiac Age

I think I put an hour or 2 into FFXII when it first came out on PS2, couldn't get into it at that time, I think I was just playing a bunch of other stuff. I don't think I liked the combat system as much then, however after playing FFXV I have a better appreciation for the combat system of this I think. I'm really enjoying my time in FFXII already got like 18 hours played.
