Re: UK Sales Charts: Gran Turismo 7 Still Leading the Pack Following Online Issues

Push square often uses 70$ games, blah blah. But that is only for digital. New games/pre-orders (physical disc) can be bought anytime around 50 to 54 GBP here in the UK. Sony sold the digital version console at a loss and thus they are trying to coup the money from their store (which does affect me as I am a digital guy, but on the other hand, you get to share easily with your siblings who live overseas, so I am still happy with digital games). But the price of money for physical discs are not changed for many years now.

Re: Poll: Did You Buy Elden Ring?

Seems to be a great game. But not my type as I don't have the patience to learn all the moves, attack patterns etc. I just want to enjoy stories or games with mindless fun even if they are beat/ shoot 'em up.

Re: PS Plus March 2022 PS5, PS4 Games Announced

@tartanross I mean many times in a year in the UK, it was reduced to less than 30GBP. ( or just over 30, you can buy from CD keys all year long).) I am based in the UK but my main PS plus account is the US. Even over 40GBP, you got more than what you paid for in the whole year.

Re: Call of Duty Will Take Time Off Next Year

Never into FPS shooter. But I wonder those who buy COD every year, what make you buy it yearly. I know they rinse and repeat the setting (historical, future etc) but personally the gameplay is just basically a minor tweak. Loads of people buy it annually is a surprise to me. Do you guys buy it because most online community are most active in the newest game?

Re: Sony Stock Value Loses $20 Billion, But Will Likely Recover

What kind of idiot think this is because of Sony times exclusives? Time exclusivity is done by all companies. All Xbox fanboys use this as an excuse which is ridiculous. Most of Sony exclusives are either first party or collaborate closely with third party developers. Most timed exclusives are DLC with only a few big games. Almost all the great games throughout last gen are first party. How come it is Sony’s fault most Xbox exclusives last gen didn’t do well? Currently Xbox first party day 1 exclusives are very few and far between (no exclusives until now after ill fated crackdown 3). With more exclusives coming, expect subscription fee go up. And people will then subscribe using other regions. We will see how this will affect games in the long run. Will consoles games model turn into mobile model, low initial cost with tons of in games purchases?

Re: Reaction: Merging PS Plus and PS Now Makes Sense, But an Xbox Game Pass Competitor Can't Be Half-Arsed

I don’t think they will include big first party titles day 1. Funny people compares this to gamepass. I mean look at the gap of first party games coming to gamepass. They only release 1 game so far since the Xbox new gen launch. Almost all of new games come day 1 to gamepass are indie games. The other problem is Sony focus a lot on single player story games which wouldn’t make sense to offer free day 1.

Re: Konami Apologises for the State of eFootball at Launch

They should have just released another seasonal update. This isn’t clearly ready which is obvious with the previous demo, and they just tired to release earlier than FIFA. If it’s released as demo, they wouldn’t feel that much heat. It is never good thing to change engine as it would be buggy. They should give us free or minimal fee season 2022 update. Scrap this one until I it is ready

Re: Feature: 12 PS5 Firmware Updates We Want to See

mrbone

Of all the things, I don’t need a browser at all. Yeah I know a few people watch pro hub with it, but I am sure the vast majority of people never ever touch it. And the browser is also the reason of jailbreak and security issue. So I don’t think of going to happen.

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

mrbone

@Wibbleboy yes I got those PS3 and Vita games too. But never get to play them, so they are just in the library. I am sure most of us got PS plus and stacked when the price is about 20-25 $ as the price dipped to this every year (about the cost of 2 cinema tickets), not to mention I am sharing its benefits with my bro. And looking back this year so far, we already got much more than what we paid. I can only speak for myself, even the so-called weakest month, I have already spent many hours in PVZ game. Sept games if true, Hitman 2 and Overcooked are already known great games and Predator would still give at least a few hours of fun (I know most people wouldn't even think to buy it).

Re: eFootball's PS5, PS4 Gameplay Trailer Is Bizarre

mrbone

Well, it is obvious, with the COVID pandemic and a new engine, even with a year break, they could not make it in time. For being a football game, you can't release it anytime you want, it has to be around the new football season. This is anything but bizarre. That's why they give out free. The truth is PES has strong support in Asia on mobile, can't compete with FIFA in the West due to lack of licensing. At least if they only sell squad update as DLC and with the continuous updates including gameplay, this would save money in the long run, compared to the full-price game every year (just for minimal pacing change and squad).

Re: Talking Point: How Would You Improve PS Plus?

mrbone

People not aware of how Xbox game with gold give out rubbish games for a long time now, for them either you subscribe more expensive game pass or you end up with very ***** games with gold. I don’t agree with PS plus this month free games are very bad, PVZ is quite a fun game. Tennis is not bad either.

Re: Sony Fans Bicker Over Ghost of Tsushima PS5 Paywall

mrbone

@MattSilverado Oops. Not sure about your regional pricing. Heard game consoles are quite expensive in South America due to tax. Not sure why Sony don’t have regional pricing in your country. People took advantage of it and steam has stopped people changing the region last year. Anyway for playstation, what some people tend to do is buying from Turkey, Indonesia and India which are much cheaper. For Xbox, it is Brazil. For Steam, your country used to be very popular.
