@naruball It's not exactly selective. We've been vocal any time a company has required an additional account in order to play their game (heck, Ubisoft and EA games require an additional launcher on top of the account).
The outrage is just louder at the moment with Sony, because they're the latest company that's requiring it after a couple releases where it was optional.
I also believe that on console you don't need an account if you buy the game physically, so console gamers get a choice while PC gamers don't have that luxury as majority of games nowadays are digital-only releases.
I'm still undecided if I'll continue with my Premium sub or not. For me it's just a matter of convenience of turning on the console and being able to stream PS3 games.
Ragnarök just didn't click with me like the rest of the series did. I expected improvements to the combat, but sadly it was the same as in the prequel - enemies' strikes following you as you dodge is my main issue.
I think that Ragnarök is a good game, but it's definitely overhyped and overrated by its fans.
How about instead of them taking ideas from other older games they instead take them from decades worth of comics or better yet, come up with their own?
@theMEGAniggle Thanks for the explanation and info. I might check it out if/when I manage to get myself to finish Shippuden as I stopped watching during the galore of filler dream episodes when the infinite tsukuyomi happened xD
Hopefully there's gonna be a dedicated Boruto game at some point as I'd much prefer to play that and experience something new than to replay the Naruto's story for the umpth time.
Currently in the process of catching up to the point where the game supposedly takes place so that I don't get spoiled for the arcs and characters it contains.
Only ~500 episodes to go...I'll be done in time for Christmas xD
I really hope there's not going to be any DLC as I didn't enjoy the game enough to be excited to jump in again just to experience the continuation of the story.
Personally I give it a 5 - completely mediocre and a rather disappointing sequel. Combat hasn't been improved and still has the same issues that it had in the previous game, making it a chore to play. The story was a major disappointment to me as well. There are no doubt some incredible scenes in it, but IMO they don't make up for the bad decisions made by Kratos and Atreus throughout the game. In my eyes, it's definitely the worst in the series.
I wouldn't mind the chatter if it wasn't as frequent. Sometimes I just wanna look around thoroughly before proceeding with the puzzle and it's infuriating to have to hear the same dialogue over and over again which tends to spoil how the puzzle is solved as well.
Wish there'd be an option to turn it off or at least increase the time before the characters effectively solve the puzzle for you.
I was very exited to play it until they confirmed that it runs at 30fps - went and cancelled my pre-order due to that. Given how it apparently has inconsistent framerates, I think I dodged a bullet.
I'll pick it up if it ever gets a performance option down the line.
@CassiopeiaGames I own the physical PS4 game (Uncharted 4: A Thief's End).
I first tried it on PS5, but it seemed to default to the Legacy edition (maybe because I redeemed the standalone DLC on PS+ Extra), at least visually (background and logo).
Due to that not working I went to my base PS4 and tried the game here...It didn't default to the Legacy edition, but it still didn't count towards the achievement thing when ran and left running for about half an hour.
240€ is ludicrous for a controller. For the same price I can get 3 DualSense controllers and still have some money left over.
I get the fact that they're trying to push it as a luxury item with this price, but a controller costing more than 1/3 of the console it's meant for is pure insanity.
The Uncharted one simply doesn't want to work for me. I tried running it several times on PS5 as well as on PS4. Sucks that I can't get a collectible due to their shoddy system.
I completely understand if a game is unable to run at 4K/60fps on a console (never expected it to begin with), but I refuse to believe that it's not possible to provide an option to run it at 60fps at lower resolutions.
Stadia has been a flop from day one and I'm surprised they didn't scrap it after the first year. Definitely a nice move from Google to refund everyone their purchases.
I really hope that the world is more populated than what they've shown in the promo material thus far, otherwise I feel like it'll be a flop unless the story is just insanely good.
How about they start announcing games at an appropriate time instead of 10 years before they've even started working on it so that they can actually hit the marks they set for themselves?
Let me guess; This version will have all the DLC and stuff packed in, but they'll come up with a bunch of new cosmetic DLC that wont be included just like before?
@Steve30000 Yeah...I feel like the only reason why I got responses to my emails is because I live in a small country so the local support team can easily handle the requests.
@Milktastrophe The main draw of premium for many people (including myself) is the access to retro games. Retro game offerings are SEVERELY lacking, so yes, it is trash.
We're paying for the premium service right now, so the offerings should be good right now not months down the line. Stop trying to spin the service as good when we all know it's trash at this moment.

Re: Skull and Bones (PS5) - Solid Sea-RPG Ships First-Rate Naval Gameplay
If the review is accurate, the beta that I played was a completely different game compared to the final product.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Persona 3 Reload?
I'm gonna wait for the inevitable 2nd "definitive" version of the game as I don't really want to double-dip.
Re: Persona 3 Reload's Updated Combat System Looks Ridiculously Cool in Gameplay Breakdown
Like everyone else, I'll wait for the super duper ultra special awesome edition down the line.
@munkholt If it helps at all, it's not a real gun but an evoker in shape of one.
Re: Sony Has Stopped Updating PS Plus' Subscriber Numbers
I'm still undecided if I'll continue with my Premium sub or not. For me it's just a matter of convenience of turning on the console and being able to stream PS3 games.
I guess it depends on the black friday sale.

Re: Naruto x Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections Gets Sneak Peak Story, Gameplay Trailers
Does Boruto have so little story and content that they're unable to make a dedicated Boruto game?
Re: PS5, PS4's Likeable One Piece RPG Adds Story DLC This Month
@burning_as_souls Thanks for the tip. I'm going to watch till episode 746 which is apparently the part where the game's events could take place...
Just finished episode 517. If I keep my pace, I should be playing the game in early June if not sooner
Re: PS5, PS4's Likeable One Piece RPG Adds Story DLC This Month
Still trying to catch up to the point where this game takes place to avoid spoilers...Only 229 episodes to go before I can finally play the game
Re: Pokémon Dev Reveals Project Bloom, New IP Funded by GTA Owner
I have a feeling that like every Gamefreak game, it'll be a cool concept, but ultimately half baked.
Re: Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened (PS5) - A Lovecraftian Mystery Recreated for a New Era
How's the performance? I remember Chapter One dropping frames on PS5 all the time and I don't want to buy into a similar experience.
Re: Hogwarts Legacy PS5 DualSense Controller Revealed, Out Tomorrow in Limited Supply
Hopefully it becomes available in other countries as well

Re: Game of the Year: #1 - God of War Ragnarok
I honestly don't understand why GOW:R is regarded as this pinnacle of gaming this year when it's at best a mediocre sequel.
Re: God of War Ragnarok Director on DLC: 'I Wouldn't Count on It'
I really hope there's not going to be any DLC as I didn't enjoy the game enough to be excited to jump in again just to experience the continuation of the story.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give God of War Ragnarok?

Re: Crowdfunded Sherlock Holmes Remake Awakens First Footage
I just hope that this remake wont struggle to run like Chapter One does
Re: Poll: Will You Pay the PSVR2 Launch Price?
I can't justify spending pretty much the same amount of cash on an accessory that I spent on the console itself.
I think I'll just pick up PSVR instead.
Re: PlayStation Discord Integration Reportedly Coming in March 2023
I'd be more excited if it had proper PS4 support as hardly anyone I know owns a PS5
Re: Assassin's Creed Origins Is Five Years Old Today
Great game that made me fall in love with the series all over again.
Re: Rumour: PS Plus Essential PS5, PS4 Games for November 2022 Leaked Early

Re: PS Stars: How to Solve the Hit Play/1994 Campaign
@CassiopeiaGames You can contact Playstation support to let them know and/or get a possible fix.
Re: Poll: Do You Care About 60fps on PS5?
I want 60fps in new releases and I'll skip any game that doesn't have an option for it.

Re: Once Considered a PlayStation Competitor, Google Stadia Is Shutting Down

10. The best score thus far.

Re: Soapbox: No Free PS5 Upgrade for Persona 5 Royal Is an Insult to Fans and the Game Itself
Why offer an upgrade path and lower your profits if fanboys will gladly pay the full price the third time and thank you for it.

Not gonna miss it.
