Re: PS Plus Extra, Premium List Games Leaving Soon, Shadow Warrior 3 Gone on 5th July

@Andyhunter132
Since you're asking, I will oblige. Yes, it was on Game Pass and it disappeared as quick as it's about to from PS+. I have already played through RDR2 because I own it and it took me 2 months. That was before I took a second job to be able to live a decent life. Now imagine having a family, two jobs and other stuff to do besides gaming. I appreciate the fact that some people will find this gaming model to their liking, but in my case it's just not going to happen. I subscribed to Game Pass for about a year and I was constantly wondering what to play, started games and never finished them because I lost interest or decided to play something that was about to leave GP. As a result I was frustrated and quit this service. Now I'm playing through CP2077 for the third time at a leisurely pace and having a blast, still finiding new missions, stuff I missed previously. If you enjoy this type of service and have the time to spare- go for it. Mark my words, though. Many guys on here will be burnt out on PS+ within a year or two.

Re: Rumour: Sony Poised to Reveal 'Perfect for PS5' Gaming Monitors

gollumb82

SMH at the TV elitism here. I have both a 4K HDR tv and a gaming monitor. The TV will always be a better option, but don't act like gaming monitors are so much worse. Mine is an MSI 32 inch 4K HDR monitor and I use it more frequently than the tv for the simple reason that the tv is occupied by my wife and daughter. Yes, HDR is not as eye-popping as on a tv screen, but it still makes a difference. The monitor is a perfect substitute when you have a small room and need a sub 40 inch screen to fit in there.

Dropped DPA: The House of Ashes because it's rubbish. Easily the worst of the three for me.
Gone back to Cyberpunk 2077 for my 3rd playthrough. This time I'll clear the map of everything. No other game has made me do it, so there's that.
On PS3: more NBA 2K12 with the Celtics and might start MGS: Peace Walker.
Happy gaming all!

Re: Rumour: Sony to Announce a Premium Pro Controller for PS5

gollumb82

What would make it a premium product in my eyes-> a bigger battery! The one is Dual Sense is laughable in terms of longevity. As for removable triggers and stuff- I had an Elite v2 when I had an XSX and as nice as it was it developed left stick drift wihtin 6 months. Let's hope Sony make their controller more reliable in that respect. If this rumour turns out to be true, of course.

Re: The Last of Us: Part I Compares Tess on PS5 vs. PS3 Model, and the Results Are Impressive

I think Tess looks much more authentic and her age. I suppose those who complain about her looks are the same ones who said Aloy isn't attractive enough in HFW.
As for the moaners on here: just don't buy it! Really, you can stick to the Remastered or even the original on PS3. I for one am happy that Naughty Dog don't give a damn about your moaning now and didn't when you were hating on TLoU2. This actually gives me hope for Part 3 to be equally memorable and challenging in the plot department as Part 2.

I'm somewhere in the middle of Horizon ZD and it looks glorious on PS5. Can't imagine HFW looking better, honestly. Also, I bought GTA Trilogy Remastered in the last promo so I know what I'll be playing this summer
Aside from that:
On PS3- NBA 2K12 (Association mode with my faves Boston Celtics), Race Driver: Grid (best racing game ever in my book)
Have a nice weekend everyone!

Re: The Callisto Protocol PS5, PS4 Gameplay Footage Is Gloriously Gory

@Nepp67
The logic is that it's the same game 🙂 The entire time I was watching the trailer I was thinking: that's Dead Space. It feels more like a rip off rather than a spiritual successor to me. Fort Solis seems at least somewhat different. Same can be said about Deliver Us Mars (I'm sucker for thriller/horror games set in space). With money being tight and having to choose, I'll go for the original.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 429

Getting plenty of bang from my PS3! NBA 2K12 and Mortal Kombat Arcade Collection are on the menu with MGS Peace Walker and Siren: Blood Curse already installed and waiting. I put Horizon ZD on backburner as I started getting bored with it (my 2nd playthrough). I guess I really am fed up with open world games. Makes me hesitant to buy Forbidden West and Ghost of Tsushima. I'll probably never finish them.

Re: Reaction: Why You Shouldn't Worry About Sony's New Strategy

gollumb82

Old geezer alert!! I'm with the guys who preach doom and gloom. Gaming has been steadily going downhill for a few years now. GaaS are a disease, much like lootboxes, microtransactions and NFTs. It's become a business first, artform/creativity second type of thing. The community is the most toxic it's ever been. When it was a niche hobby for nerds it was so much better.
I guess it's telling when you buy PES 2013 and NBA 2K12 and are way more excited to play them than their modern iterations.
Old geezer rant over. Carry on guys, nothing to see here. I'll be playing on my PS3 and Vita more and more as time goes by I think, while my PS5 will be gathering dust.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 428

I've just finished DPA: Little Hope and there's indeed little hope of a second playthrough for me. It didn't grip me the way Until Dawn did. Hell, Man of Medan was more interesting to me. I hope House of Ashes is better and that's what I'll be playing next. Apart from that:
PS5: Horizon Zero Dawn 2nd playthrough
Switch- nothing, gave it to my daughter
PS3- just set it up, going to buy a ton of games this week
Vita- Uncharted Golden Abyss

Happy gaming everyone!

Re: State of Play Showcase for Thursday Confirmed, PSVR2 Games Included

gollumb82

@WadeIsInsane
Seems that way. I've been to the other side of the fence and although the grass indeed is greener over there, they've got a whole bunch of nothing else really. Besides Quick Resume and Forza Horizon there's nothing I found next gen about Xbox. As for the big N, I've got a Switch but gave it to my daughter so she would leave my PS5 alone haha.

Re: State of Play Showcase for Thursday Confirmed, PSVR2 Games Included

Sony stays mum, people complain. Sony wants to announce something, people complain. People complain about those who complain. Those who complain complain about being denied the right to complain...
On topic: I'm hyped about PSVR2 as I truly hope picture quality will be a lot better and Sony somehow manages to mitigate the motion sickness I get when using VR.
