Re: PS Plus Essential PS5, PS4 Games for July 2022 Announced

mrbone

Fantastic offering. Meanwhile, Xbox GWG offers random independent games which include a game given away previously and that was not even the first time.

And you made a mountain out of a molehill when the new PS extra launched in Asia- like how people were asked for money for the previous discount. Fair enough but now Sony is offering a very cheap upgrade price for the existing PS plus users? Where is the news? No single news about that at all.

Re: Mini Review: Resident Evil 3 (PS5) - Disappointing Remake Looks and Runs Much Better

mrbone

I finished the original multiple times back then. The new remake, while lacking some places from the previous game, is still a great game. In a way, the experience is tighter with a more relentless pursuit of Nemesis. I would say this is better or at least as good as the original. People just talking down because it didn't include all things from the old game.. For me it is the whole experience, not stay true to old game nor the overall game length.

Re: Xbox Appeared to Embargo PS5, PS4 Versions of Some Showcase Games

mrbone

@Shepherd_Tallon They have been hiding successfully behind the game pass. It is a good value service (especially the vast majority use the loophole of upgrading with 1$) but mainly offering 3rd party independent games (day 1 release). Some people just ignore they have been offering really rubbish games on games with gold for a long time (since gp launch).

Re: When Is Summer Game Fest 2022?

mrbone

@kpenders Must have so much free time for xbox fanboy to troll here. Your responses have been quite deviating from the news and original point. You said every COD entries been selling 30-40 millions. Thing is the later entries barely sold 20. I brought up Elden ring just to pint iut the figure (basically less than 12-13 million, a far cry from your claim, it is still massive figure). Thing is I couldn’t care less about cod. Stay on point with your arguement by the way

Re: When Is Summer Game Fest 2022?

mrbone

@kpenders Yeah COD is waning popularity with each year. Like you said, it doesn’t matter as it is still multiplat including PlayStation from what they said. And hey it is the executives who are not happy with COD sale. Its number are still enormous (although personally i only own given out free on Ps plus and yet never play). You don't need to tell me about its popularity, comparing multiplat with a sony exclusive. (Although you inflate the number, they never sold 40 million for each entry, the last one was outsold by Elden ring at 13 million). Not sure why you only mention Bungie as there are many other first party studios. Died in 2028, i don't think so, man. MLB sports being a multiplat is no surprising. Even if they simultaneously release their first party on PC, no way Playstattion would die.

Re: PS Plus Members in Asia Irate As Sony Wipes Discounts on Tier Upgrades, Demands Upfront Fee for Stacked Subs

mrbone

@Shepherd_Tallon I saw in a Facebook group. They are from the Singapore region. One has 6 months, and one has about a year of ps plus left. Both of them offered half price for ps extra and deluxe (half of the normal upgrade price- 25 SGD for 6 months deluxe/ 18 SGD for extra tier). Shame I can't share a screenshot here. I agree. While Sony has to bear some blame, this site is now filled with a lot of haters who moan and blow up everything.

Re: PS Plus Extra, Premium Games Will Be Playable Offline, But Will Require Weekly Validation

mrbone

@Northern_munkey It really doesn't make sense why you even raise this question. I don't know what you are even worried about? I really wonder if some of you guys are just here to troll on Sony or if you guys have a genuine concern. If you go on holiday, you don't play games, then what are you worried about? You return home, you can pick up where you left off. If your sub expires when you are away, you resub when you back and then continue where you left off. If you brought your console on holiday, you connect to hotel wifi or phone tethering after a week. If you brought your console to the holiday destination where there is no internet at all, then it is a different matter and you consider to play the games you own in that case.

Re: Sony Shares First Look at PS Plus Extra, Premium Games

mrbone

Great line up. Moaners will always moan no matter what. What’s wrong with including games from ps now and previous ps plus. Not all people subscribe ps plus that particular time. Yes I am a subscriber since 2016 and have about 400-500 games in my library, even for me there are a lot of games I am interested in. For PS now, if you don’t know, it has more or less similar games as game pass, yeah the one you keep praising no matter what. In fact, PlayStation first party games are much stronger (except you want to drive multiple variations of Forza). While the promise of gp day 1 first party games is good, also remember Microsoft has only released a handful of first party AAA games since gp launch, not to mention some, if not most are not well received.

Re: Embracer Group to Buy Multiple Square Enix Studios and IPs in Huge Acquisition

mrbone

Would be great if Sony buys Square Enix and Konami. It would consolidate Japanese companies. Japanese companies own a lot of nostalgic titles. FF 14 is doing very well and in line with Sony's ambition of more live service games. I would want to spend money on Japanese companies rather than Bungie. Only the Tomb Raider is big IP on this list. It is not expensive for Sony or Microsoft but employment of 1100 people can be costly and it may be seen as monopoly if they have further acquisitions in mind.

Re: PS Plus Premium Demo Requirement Puzzling Publishers, Devs

mrbone

As always, focus on the negative and generate angry responses and views. I remember how many articles you create when sony change their store. No wishlist, no image of games blah blah. They fixed them relatively quickly. There will be some teething issues initially and it is totally justifiable to talk about them. But making the a lot of similar news again and again (Like 10-15 articles about no Bethesda games for PS) is ridiculous.

Re: Best Co-Op Games on PS5

mrbone

Ghost of Tushima Legends is quite deep and fantastic game. It should be on this list. Haven’t bought single player yet but I am now level 120 with Samurai.

Re: Hands On: eFootball PS5, PS4 Feels Better Than FIFA 22 After Major Update

mrbone

It has improved significantly. Now the gameplay is really nice. I guess the game would be ready by next season as the offline mode is really limited now. I play co-op with my bro (against CPU Man U) and it is currently not available. Even the offline mode is still very limited, how difficult to allow us to play more than 5 min. But I am really excited for the comeback. Never a FIFA fan.

Re: Best Racing Games on PS5

mrbone

Just tried the racing wheel today with wreckfast, dirt 5 and dirt rally 2. IT is really not easy using it. Maybe I don't have a proper chair. Better to just use the controller.

Re: Rumour: Ubisoft's Making a Hero Shooter Battle Royale Codenamed Pathfinder

mrbone

If successful, that will become a money tree. So they will throw everything and see what sticks. Apart from Fornite, (to some extent PUBG as being the first Royale game, Apex, COD, Genshin impact and fall guys) other free live service games are not doing very well. I hope we got another when Factions 2 launch. Would be nice if given free to all PS plus tier members

Re: PS3 Emulation Allegedly in Production for PS5

mrbone

I might be the minority or majority. Although I grew up with PS1 and 2, I am not keen to replay the retro games. Remastered is a different matter but I am not even interested in my favourite GTA- vice city despite it being free on PS Now. I don't even replay my childhood best games- Super Mario 3 and Donkey Kong on the Switch. The voice of critics is surely loud, but they might just be the minority. Really would like to know the data from Xbox backward compatible games.

Re: PS Plus April 2022 PS5, PS4 Games Announced

mrbone

Expect more games like these going forward. They will make higher tiers more attractive by keeping big games for those services. This is the upcoming Xbox Games with Gold- April 2022) - Another Sight, Hue, Outpost Kaloki X, MX vs ATV Alive. Microsoft has been giving rubbish months after months but they are getting away with it as people only care about gp.

Re: Huge PS Store Spring Sale Discounts 1,000 PS5, PS4 Games

mrbone

The landscape has changed since PS5 launch since last year. Sony has been following Nintendo in terms of first party titles. (Microsoft is not relevant here as only very few would buy their first party anyway given availability on gp). As Sony sell digital version PS5 at a loss, they will try to recoup it and now with new ps plus service, there is even more reason to give little discount to digital versions. I would still buy digital as I can share with my siblings. (If you have ps4 playing friends, you can share extra too).

Re: This Week Could Be Big for PlayStation, Say Swirling Rumours

mrbone

Don’t expect it will be the same as GP. Otherwise you will be disappointed. Microsoft is using the money from their other business which Sony simply don’t have. Then again Microsoft only have a very few first party games since GP launch and some people didn’t notice about it.
