“Ten great reasons why the story of this game is as great as its game play! The fourth one will shock you!”

This wasn’t at gamestop, but I remember years ago I got called into my directors office (one level above my boss at the time) and then they made a big deal about giving me a raise. Then I saw the amount... It amounted to about $1.50 a year... If they hadn’t said anything about it, I wouldn’t have noticed. To this day…

You can turn those off in the settings. I have basically all of mine turned off - I don’t need to know if some random game I played months ago was updated while I’m playing, lol.

I’m curious! It used to be that not using the native res would yield a really fuzzy image, but I bet that scaling tech has gotten a lot better since then.

Thank you! Having the “gamelists” buried in some random place in the library (a place I rarely go into unless I’m trying to dig up a game I haven’t played in a few months) is not the same thing. PS4 did it right. Do what PS4 did. Folders right in the main screen, thank you.

My thoughts exactly... When I read the description on the PS Blog, my immediate reaction was “wait, there are only two back buttons?” Ugh... I like to remap the four face buttons to the back when I have the option. This is great for some rpg’s where you can map your primary interact buttons to the left hand and leaves…

Can we pre-emptively put the “game list” feature on here? It completely misses the point of wanting folders as they existed in the ps4 - i.e. cleaning up the main screen as well as having more games immediately available. Creating an extra tab in the library for lists of games is entirely missing the point to…

Absolutely this. Having to dig out a cable, shuffle over to the PS5, find the damn port (black front + usb port + dark living room = invisible port), and plug in the controller is a huge pain. It’s slightly alleviated by being able to update via a pc, but only because I keep a laptop in the living room.

100 on metacritic! *

I understand the feeling since I’m still waiting for mine, but the larger part of me is more relieved at not having to participate in an insane feeding frenzy fed by drops and rumors of drops where I’m a guppy trying to compete with great whites that can swallow dozens of fish at a time.

I’ve seen every single last one of those movies. Not because they’re high art... but they’re just good old fashioned FUN.

Phrased it poorly, I was agreeing with you, LOL. Point being, I had originally thought the jpg was at least embedded in the NFT much like they can be attached to bitcoins... but no, it’s just a link. To something that can be shut down tomorrow, or someone forgets to renew the domain...

It’s not even an actual .jpeg file, it’s a receipt of a link to a .jpeg... 

I largely agree with this, but I think it might have been better if they 1) allowed ps now subs to just have that - apparently people exist who only play ps now and don’t do anything else (I had no idea anyway). and 2) offered a bundle that saved you money if you wanted both plus and now, and the third tier should…

Oh it’s definitely rare - the SimCity reboot in I want to say, 2012? was the last one I remember where it would literally lock you out of the game after 30 minutes or something if you didn’t have an internet connection, no matter whether you were playing single player or multiplayer. I think they patched it…

Oh god, can you imagine?

I only really have a problem with always online requirements when it doesn’t make sense. For example, if a game like Horizon Forbidden West didn’t work without an internet connection. However, Call of warzone MMO battle royale? Of course it makes sense that that’s always online.

I will say that I have played games that were ported to console as an afterthought, and menu screens that are mouse centered drive me nuts. No Man’s Sky is one that comes to mind right away - having to navigate menus with a cursor with a mouse makes total sense. Doing so with a controller is a huge pain.

I’ve had some games crash when I do it... others, ignore it entirely. Although the worse has been one or two where the window goes away and the process keeps cranking in the background chewing up 100% cpu. It’s been a while, though - but I also don’t game on my pc as much these days. I’ve been wfh since covid and…

I’ve had the opposite - games where if you’re using borderless windowed mode lets the mouse escape the game when you mouse that side of the screen when all you wanted to do was scroll the map to the right or turn your character to the right, lol.
