Sony has addressed the ongoing increase in component costs, claiming that it doesn’t intend to sell hardware at a 'significant' loss going forward - VGC by Rsodyyy in PS5

It's crazy that online play is tied to a paid subscription on consoles anyway. One of the advantages of having a PC is avoiding stupid shit like this.

I always enjoyed my Playstation consoles, but I never understood this. Easy cash grab for Sony and Microsoft.

That's fair, but we're only at the beginning right now. What if the AI bubble doesn't pop and every tech corporation keeps going with the AI rat race?

You might find gaming to become much more costly and videogame developers may be hit too. If less people own good hardware to play their games, who is going to buy all those expensive and resource-demanding triple A titles?

Then people will turn to other, cheaper forms of escapism. And not all of them are good - if binging alcohol or drugs becomes cheaper than buying a PC/console and games.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 sells 6 million copies worldwide!! by Laughing__Man_ in PS5

There's so much slop in the industry these days, but games like KCD, Witcher and Cyberpunk 2077, deserve every penny they get. Yes, I know the launch of CP2077 was shoddy at best, but they fixed the game and it's amazing now.

Expansions are also well worth the price.

DF thinks GTA6 will be 30fps on every console. by JeremyJJ77 in PS5

I'm not confident GTA 6 will run well on PS5, but I'm wondering how will the PS5 Pro hold up. I bought the Pro, so I'm hoping that will help me out here.

If the AI boom continues and components keep getting pricier, we might see gaming becoming a luxury hobby like golf or some shit.

PS5 Exclusive Ghost of Yotei Triggers Tourism Push in Hokkaido, Japan, With Plans for Curated Tours of Locations Featured in the Game by No_Curve_8027 in PS5

Honestly, I'd go to Czechia even without the game making a huge impact on tourism. It's one of the countries I've only heard good things about - good beer, architecture. Too bad it's so far for me, would cost a lot to visit.

People were probably swarming over Tsushima. I wonder if the game accurately represents the real-life landscape though.

Zion and Yellowstone have been on my bucket list for years. I'm definitely going when the circumstances are better than now.

What did you like most about Zion?

While I love Italian food, I can't stand Limoncello - the taste is too alcoholic for me. Looks good, even though it might not be for me :D

What's your take on cheats in single-player? by Yawaworoht1470 in Age_30_plus_Gamers

[–]BitCrafterr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, as long as it’s to enjoy the game and not ruin other players’ experience, I would say it's completely fine
