Re: Poll: Do PS Plus Premium's Classic Games Need Trophies for You to Play Them?

There's only so many gaming hours in your life and while it's nice to revisit old games either on disc or via a sub service I'd prefer the effort was spent either improving the game or on something new. Not on a reward system to keep gamers locked into the same game for longer than necessary.
I mean, it's all a mind trap regardless but don't take the piss.

That's fine, it's a factual statement.
I was just expressing my disappointment at the lack of a named lead character since I like the franchise and played almost all the HP games. I'm not a fan of it in JRPGs either, but there's plenty of other games I can play instead. I'm not demanding them to be cancelled, if other people like yourself enjoy games where you can fully customise an avatar then that's good.

Re: PS Plus Premium Demo Requirement Puzzling Publishers, Devs

@mrbone
My point is that it's very wasteful so many people downloading the whole game, for 2 hours worth of content. It's better to just have a small section as a demo for those developers who want to do that.
Unfortunately it seems normal demos will cease to exist and so you will be forced to pay to demo a game, it's bad practice.

Re: PS Plus, PS Now Members Will Be Upgraded to PS Plus Premium for the Duration of Their Longest Subscription

I'm pretty much convinced it's going to be terrible and I haven't lost out on much by not ever subscribing to Now or renewing the one year PlayStation plus sub when I got my PS5.
I don't even think the people who've stacked on either service will probably get much great for the first 12 months either.
It just sounds like a con, like most things these days. 😞

Re: Poll: What Do You Expect from Retro PlayStation Games on PS5, PS4?

Exactly that, but that's a no brainer as it's an external source they can just recoup revenue from.
The lack of any future potential of inbuilt backwards compatibility like previous consoles is sabotage pure and simple.
It always goes back to his idea of wanting to sell the same thing multiple times instead of using that to back up a userbase to purchase future content.
It seems to me a method that will ultimately stagnate things long term.

Re: Hands On: Is GTA 5 on PS5 Worth It?

"The problem is, we don’t think you’ll be getting your GTA 6 fix for quite some time."

Partially because of morons buying the same game three or more times over and also because Rockstar are incapable of making a proper sequel and are milking the older games until they get found out

Re: Poll: What Did You Think of Sony's Latest State of Play?

Waste of time, only thing that even slightly interested me was Forspoken and it's been delayed.
And as for the Square Enix games at the end, another strategy game with a medieval setting and while I understand fans of the Valkyrie games might be pleased, it looks like yet another gritty medieval game with large bosses. Those bloody Dark Souls/Bloodborne/Elden Ring games and the people who won't shut up about them have a lot to answer for.

@Burntbreadman
Regarding the PSVR PS5 Adaptor, it seems some scumbags (probably the same enterprising types who use bots to buy all the PS5s and sell them on eBay at twice the price) were applying for the adaptor using other people's serial numbers.
I applied and was told my number had already been used, I eventually got one, but only from spending loads of time on hold and multiple emails, cause I'm THAT damn stubborn.

Re: PS Plus February 2022 PS5, PS4 Games Announced

UFC is sickening in any guise.
Tiny Tina is nearly 10 years old and was already given away previously as an add on.
Planet Coaster interested me at the start, but all those DLC packs have put me off the whole thing.
Glad my ps+ sub has run out, I'm not renewing for any of those.

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

feral1975

I'm so sick of having to delete the PS4 version of Death Stranding EVERY time I boot up my PS5, even from rest mode, just because I have to keep the disc in.
It made me accidentally delete Detroit: Become Human, thankfully I had a physical copy, but as I can only connect via phone, the update still used a lot of data, just so I could finish the game.
They really, really need to sort out the operating system menu, it's been over a year, they need to get their act together.

Re: Rumour: PS Plus January 2022 PS5, PS4 Games Leaked Early

feral1975

Well aside from the now obligatory online game, if true, it could be worse.
I really tried getting into persona 3&4 but they never clicked, but have been advised to give 5 a go. Strikers might be worth adding to my library in case I get into it. Not normally into rally games, but it seems a good addition.
