For a long time, online gaming is too toxic. There will always be a moron taunting others. I never chat online, i feel and do nothing even if they send immature message after the session. I don't know why some are so worried. I dont think you will be perma ban even if you do something stupid once/ twice. But maybe if you’re a repeated offender in which case you need to reflect on yourself rather than this rule. Unrelated to this, i am more worried about facebook and other social media not taking action against blatant lies and fake news despite 1000s reporting. Freedom of speech is a great word but abused widely.
@GamingFan4Lyf I see. I just tested uncharted 4- 1.33. It is a digital version (US PSN store). It works fine for me. Sorry for your trouble though, not sure what is the problem.
@GADG3Tx87 I think you just want to hate and moan. Nobody can record your chat except the ones in your party. I mean you should already know they can do that since long ago.
They release information about games, PS store update, trophy update and tear down almost daily. UI is coming soon. Haters still moan about lack of communication/ transparency?
@Kidfried it means the dust gets inside. My Pro is now 1.5 years old, no noise whatever the games. Some first batch has loud noise and it gets exaggerated later.
@SirAngry The thing is this is the PlayStation only site which criticises Sony a lot. Have you tried reading windows central and reply to its editor Daniel?
Some people are here just to whine- keep repeating same old reason - no UI, poor communication blah blah, meanwhile keeping praising gamepass. But never mention Xbox launch with zero new first party game. They talk like they will get all 3rd party games for free if they buy the gamepass while actually except xbox 1st party games, most of the games on gamepass are the same as those on PS now and the latter has much more games. Xbox current first party games don't hold a candle to PS's.The thing is most gamers don't care about UI, they care about games. Yes some care about trophy progess track, blah blah. This might not be at launch but the system is continually evolving. Maybe Sony just uses the same UI as PS4 like Xbox, this might shut up those few whiners. It is funny they keep commenting the same comment in every post here.
It is clear some Xbox fanboys just join here just to rubbish on PlayStation, they will whine/ moan whatever Sony do.
@thefourfoldroot at launch, digitals are not double priced. And if it becomes old, it becomes cheaper than physical. I share with my brother, We can share PS plus, games, everything, can play online each other too. This is also very convenient for backwards compatibility with PS5. So digital for me.
@thefourfoldroot being digital, I can share with my friend or siblings. There will be multiplayer update coming soon for GoT. So for me I always buy digital. So I open game, and it only costs half. It is totally fair price if you think you can share your games with one other person officially. (Unofficially more but tidious)
@jbreez00 Aren’t some better than none? The thing is Xbox has zero first party exclusive at launch. Would not call gear tactics new game. Even some games come to PS4, they are still new games. What is weirded about this? This site seems to persuade not to buy PA5 but buy Xbox with a lot of Bethesda acquisition news with their earliest game if exclusive at all would take years.
I agree this is repetitive. The pre-orders are sold out as ordinary gamers don't care about UI. Got a point for details for games though but they will surely come. Some people just want to praise Xbox just because they buy Bethesda. But they have no new first party games at launch at all and use the similar UI as Xbox one.
@Dodoo Rent yes, grocery I don't know. US medical system is complex, The employers usually pay for insurance for a permanent employee, so difficult to compare with different systems of EU. But the rest- all electronics, and others are much cheaper.
@GADG3Tx87 In a way, this shows game development is more costly and riskier than ever. They make what the fans want and choose the safe route. The films are in this trend for a long time now- sequel, remake and superheroes.
@Dodoo like what except mobile/ internet bill. All electronics are definitely cheaper there for a long time now. I am glad they dont price the console more expensive this time.
@BNAG_Gamer you still need to pay 70£ if you want to play third parties games outside of the gamepass? You know that, right? Funny everyone is saying gamepass but outside of microsoft first party games, the current line up on gamepass is more or less the same with PS now.
@Bad-MuthaAdebisi the US sale tax rate is from 0-9.4% depending on state. But in most of EU, it is >15%, with very few less than 10% and above. So what is wrong and irrelevant? Afaik, the electronics are always cheaper in the US. The only thing i know more expensive there are mobile and internet bill.
@Bad-MuthaAdebisi US price is exclusive of tax. Then again, it is not just games, everything is more expensive in the UK or EU. I think UK fixed 20% vat is high. Was hoping they would slash to 15-17% in this climate (even if for a year or so)
I find it funny when people said I don't buy PS5 because of the lack of communication. It just sounds like trolling for me. I mean What does Microsoft communicate more than Sony? Microsoft has a lot of money, it is all more amazing they have no new decent exclusive at all in the last 7 years at all. It is the same Forza, gears, halo. And some people including this site are too sensitive about RRP price change, it is only 10 more. But the retailers never sell at RRP price. If you buy digital you can share not just your library, but also the PS + sub with another people.
Never into RPG games. The only RPG I finished was FF X-2 and I spent about 100 hours. Now I can no longer spend a lot of time on games. Can’t even finish open world games these days.
Gamepass model is not substainable for single player games. Either Microsoft focus on multiplayer games or their single player games quality will definitely go down in the long run.
I think it is for gamepass. That model is only viable with multiplayer games. I personally don't care about this kind of games but want to play avengers for mindless fun but hate the RPG loadout parts.
Great. Means I save some money. With TLOU2, Ghost and PS5 coming up, my wallet is burned. I am also a PES guy (tried FIFA but don’t like it). I think PES 2020 is a downgrade from 2019. AI teammates can be really infuriating, they become stupider as you increase the difficulty.
I agree. It is the experience, not the length of play that matters. Currently playing TLOU2. 18 hours in, just started the second half Seattle day 1. Enjoyed it so far but I prefer tlou 1. And games like Detroit become human, heavy rain are all short but I really enjoyed them too.
100s of hours log in for EDF 5. My first entry in the series. Control can be a bit clunky but I enjoy the game thoroughly. Just wish there is some practice arena to test out these crazy amount of weapons. Will definitely buy 6. We are the valiant infantry!
Have played 15:30 hours and now near the end of Day 2 Seattle. Great game! Don't understand these haters. Bought digital. Managed to avoid spoiler and can't wait to finish this.
You should stop posting this kind of rumour. I don't think even Sony has set a definite price yet. The technology inside certainly demands a higher price. I think both Sony and Microsoft wait for each other to reveal first. Microsoft does have much bigger money reserve but I do not think story-driven single-player games will be sustainable with current game pass model.
They have to cover different genre aimed at different age group. It is impressive for the launch games. More games will come of course. Don’t forget PS4 launch with kill zone and knack.
Great show! Great mix of AAA and indie. They even have the great slogan Play has no limits. Don’t underestimate the power of it. Greatness awaits also works well in PS4 era. Even EA’s challenge everything gave me goosebump back in the day. Also post about the accessories announced.
Microsoft can afford to lose money. But ultimately it is the games that will decide. I doubt the quality of games is consistently good if people can play on game pass. As for me, no matter what is it, I will only buy PS5 as I have digital library of over 300 PS4 games and never a fan of gear of war or forza.
