30 fPs?!?! EyEs hUrT lItErAlLy unPLaYaBlE!!1!1

Thanks for the review, if I weren’t revisiting P5R on Switch this Friday (which is also unplayable apparently, since it’s 30fps there, nooo!) and FF14 most of the remaining time, I’d give this a try.

Re: PS5 Folders, 1440p Support Part of New Beta Update Out Today

@Eldritch What does the presence of SSDs have to do with a person’s desire to organize their games? I have a metric ton on external storage, as well as quite a few on internal/M.2 storage, and it’d be nice for a “play next” or genre/series sorting.

Have 400 games in your library and then tell me folders aren’t useful.

Re: Gran Turismo 7 Will Require Two Blu-ray Discs on PS4, Just One on PS5

dskatter

Might be a simpler explanation than a higher-capacity disc. The PS5 game itself is likely smaller in and of itself.

Most PS5 versions of PS4 games take less storage space, due to less redundancy needed. With the SSD access times essentially nonexistent, there’s less need to duplicate data in an install, therefore less disc space needed initially.

Re: Sony's Backwards PS4 to PS5 Upgrade System Is Still Causing Headaches

@AstraeaV Convenience, obviously. If I have the PS4 PS Plus version and they allow it to be upgraded to PS5, why should my previous disc upgrade block it?

Like I said, the experience you describe is how it is supposed to happen and has no bearing on this. But the mere fact that I upgraded a disc previously now blocks what is SUPPOSED to work.

“Obviously, you’re not going to want to use your Coins as they’re essential for trading players, but we suppose it’s generous of EA Sports to include the option at all.”

….IS IT GENEROUS? I think we might have different definitions for this word.

Re: Rumour: PS Plus September 2021 PS5, PS4 Games Leaked Ahead of Official Reveal

@The_Pixel_King Not all that interested in your definition of “bullying.”

Someone was using a month of Ps Plus they didn’t like to express an opinion. I then expressed my opinion that they wouldn’t be missed, as no one needs to announce their departure. No comments about their intellect, appearance or lack of reasoning ability were made.

I’m sure they appreciate you charging in to the rescue, but fairly sure they’ll be fine without your defense.

@dan_ozzzy189 Maybe flight simulator? Seems to be the go-to thing apparently!

Re: Sony Fans Bicker Over Ghost of Tsushima PS5 Paywall

@blinx01 Translation: "I don't want to spend more money to support developers who made a great game even better."

That's your purview, of course. So...don't play it. Again, no one has a gun to your head.

Also, I'll be very interested to see if you rebuy GTAV for PS5 and complain about that as well.

Re: Sony Fans Bicker Over Ghost of Tsushima PS5 Paywall

Amazing, the level of entitlement on both sides. Either you're a Sony fanboy for defending this or an XBot if you slam it.

The devs have a proven track record on an amazing game, and so I'll give them what they've requested for the PS5 Directors Cut upgrade. Ghost of Tsushima is just THAT GOOD a game, and I'm quite happy to throw a few extra bucks at them for the PS5 native experience. I've spent more for less quality/content before, at least I know these guys will deliver.

For anyone intensely butthurt about this...skip going out to eat once or twice, and you're golden as far as money. Or just ...don't upgrade. Or just do the PS4 upgrade. No one has a gun to your head REQUIRING you to take part.

Sanity, folks. Its just a game, and a non-life-required purchase.

Re: Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order the First Game to Offer Free Physical to Digital PS5 Upgrade

@KidBoruto Apologies for the delay!

They sorta did. First, they asked me to resubmit the info I just submitted. I wrote back and said the info I sent was right there and I’d already used that exact link.

Then another person responded and asked me to resend in a few days as they didn’t have codes yet.

THEN I responded again and asked them to just put me on a list and send the code when they got it.

The next day I had a code. Redeemed it and…nothing. No non-disc version in my account. I think because I already have a disc upgrade that their code won’t give me the non-disc download version. :/

So I think I screwed myself by doing the disc upgrade first! FYI the code definitely does not give you access to a PS4 download either.
