Sony does NOT have more subscribers on their new subscription system. The numbers were for the old PS Plus which only gave you access to online play and other random perks. PS Now has become PS Plus to cloud that fact. Sony has begrudgingly admitted before they have a small amount of subscribers compared to GP.

Sony has been continuously aggressive at blocking anything that would allow MS to compete fairly, including paying Devs NOT to develop for MS. Now they are trying to play the "poor cousin". boohoo. They are desperate at this point. Maybe they should focus on being competitive and stop relying on exclusives.

If you buy call of duty, just download the main game. If you download it all, the game still makes you redownload them during the install. If you have a slower connection, you just wasted time the first time.

I love GP. I like that I can try a game without wasting a lot of money only to discover it's crap. The developer also gets exposure & feedback on how to make their games better for future. If ya don't like it, don't use it.

Considering I only play a fraction of the so called AAA titles, I couldn't give two sh*ts that it doesn't have only triple AAA games. Forgetting many developers were hit hard by covid and related restrictions, there are a plethora of games old and new to play with several big names on the horizon. And let's not forget the Activision purchase. Sony might drag it out, but it's probably going to happen.

On a related tangent, the PS Plus tier system is a mess and very aggravating. I had a coupon so signed up for Premium, I have about 6 months left and won't be renewing. Dollar for dollar GP is a better deal IMO.

I'm surprised it took this long for that to be known? The story line never really finished so I expected it to have a sequel. The game had a refreshing design implementation for a variety of powers that worked pretty seamlessly in the game. I was truly impressed It's one of my all time faves and have played it a few times end to end trying different variations of power ups. The shield was surprisingly powerful when maxed out and used on the offensive.

I too enjoy it. Sadly, several games I wanted didn't make the list. GoW3 is also one of my favorites though.

If you just want campaign, you can skip warzone, right?

By far my favorite feature is reduced load times!

The whole console was an amazing upgrade. Nothing was Earth shatteringly new, but so many subtle upgrades have made for a very happy gamer.

GP's millions of subscribers would probably disagree.

To be fair, Take Two has a point from the narrow idea of only "selling" games. I'd argue they should clean their own house before pointing at others.

Brand recognition, loyalty, and even a broader customer base can and is encouraged by GP. Nothing pisses me off more than buying a "top" game and discovering it's crap. In GP, I might be willing to try a game form a dev that I felt burned by previously. Not so if I have to always buy the game. And the idea that cost is the sole decider of quality is so outdated as to be funny. As games go all digital, reviving or finding renewed life after release will be a lot harder for games moving forward. Selling for the sake of a sale may not be enough to keep companies in business in the future. I 've certainly discovered a plethora of games I'd never have purchased or even played without game pass. Some games I bought after they left GP because I wanted to keep playing them.

Frankly, when Take Two stops regurgitating content I might value their opinion more. Yeah, the idea of a profit driven model with no other considerations might not be the best choice for GP. Luckily for gamers, not every company agrees.

File difference that large is not a compression issue. Honestly, I don't do conspiracies but considering this happened before I'm really curious about the root cause of the difference.

Rumors were flying pretty strong when he left Konami over excessive demands from Konami regarding Sony wanting a lot of exclusive content. No idea if they ever came true but I like his games and his effort to do what he loves.

Since I only campaign, I'll wait until it comes to game pass after the acquisition is approved.

Who cares? It doesn't affect my game play. I summarily ignore all ads on the home screen anyway.

I think they plan to keep it open only because they want the deal to go thru. His words were carefully chosen and could mean a variety of things. I wish I could MS is doing this for the players but we all know that's not true.

@Somebody I'm with you. All the cheating and online antics are just not worth my time. I love campaign mode so might try it when the price goes down.

I haven't played yet but it's been downloaded. Honestly, I don't care about the reviews. I'll try it to see if it hooks or bores me. I've enjoyed plenty of games that didn't always get great reviews.

Sony will do everything in it's power to kill cross console play. They're primary selling point has always been console exclusives. CoD on GP threatens their dominance. Granted MS helped them on the PS4 by botching the XOne release so spectacularly.

I honestly hope the MS does not make it exclusive later. I'd hate to see Sony turn around and make Destiny an exclusive

Competition keeps both sides in check and if exclusives die off, they will have to compete on actual services/consoles.

I'll never understand why people blame download speeds on their console. Unless you tinkered with the settings, it's usually your internet, not the console. (Note, it will go super slow while playing games. Close your active game and it should jump in speed. If not, pause and restart the download.)

Overall, I'm loving it! It isn't as large as they made it seem but it does sort of look like a big black brick. Turned on it's side it still fits neatly in my entertainment center. It is very quiet too.

I tried to test as many promised features as I could and so far it 'effin delivers! I'd say it's their best console ever. The quick save feature is pretty automatic and really works. One game I paused in the middle of a cut screen and it picked up right where it left off when I came back. Games like Destiny, where you connect to game servers obviously can't quick save. I saved 5 games and it nailed each one on the resume. (If you play Control, the notoriously long load screens are easily cut to a third of the time.)

My TV doesn't support 120fps but it does support 4K and HDR at 60fps. Out of the box, the (dreaded) console update was small and didn't long at all. The calibration tool asked to run and I said yes as part of the setup. I downloaded D2 in about 20 mins and was off playing the new DLC. The smoothness was noticeable and the "in between worlds" load screens were super fast, like 15 seconds fast. lol Gone are my days of running off the the bathroom for a quick break between screen loads.

I think my favorite part is the ray tracing for old games. I loaded up Prototype and it made the game look and feel newer with all the extra definition. Hitman II looks stunning! I tend to replay some of my favorite games and they all worked flawlessly.

If you are on the fence, don't be. All of the small but noticeable upgrades are worth it IMO. AND, you get an actual terabyte of storage, not what's left over after the OS install.
