You don't need to be on the same network as your ps5.

"you need to be on the local network"

No you don't. It's been mentioned in a tonne of articles and by Sony themselves. How in the name of God are so many people still unaware of that? Like, if you're going to state a fact like that at the very least you should look up the info first.

"Wonder if the extra content will be free like gt too."

Hold on a sec, wasn't Gran Tourismo 7 universally condemned for its approach to microtransactions? Ah, yes it was, short memories around here: https://www.forbes.com/site...

And you think his specific problem is the only reason people might be interested in this? You actually think there needs to be a problem to begin with for somebody to be interested in this?

I wasn't criticising the premium PS experience at all, just thought it would be interesting to make some sort of comparison. The only console I have is a PS5! I had a Steam Deck up until recently which is where I played Hi Fi Rush.
The 10 million figure is what came up on one website when I Googled it so apologies, didn't realise those figures were so far off!

Why not, that's 12% uptake for Gamepass subscribers alone. For comparison, The Last of Us Part 2 and Horizon Zero Dawn had a lower percentage uptake on PS4 (10 million out of 117 million PS4 owners) at 11.7%.

Definitely wouldn't ditch my PS5 but for people like me who don't have a huge amount of time at home to game this could be handy to do a bit of grinding in something like Diablo on your lunch break at work. Used to do it quite a bit with Xcloud. But there's no way in hell I'd play something like Final Fantasy 16 on it.

Jesus Christ at all the people saying you can't download Gamepass games on the Deck to play natively. Dual boot to Windows and you can. I've done it. It's not difficult.

"I really have to ask, do people even like games anymore or is just about fps and console wars lol."

Yup. I rarely come to N4G anymore because it's just articles or comments sh!tt!ng on games over fps or anything Xbox related. The majority of people here don't really care about games that much, they just want to troll, b!tch and moan about things. It's pathetic.

Thanks man! And likewise to you, because everything you own has been produced by a corporation to make money! Glad we're all in this together!

Yes, I'm sure the 20 or so people on N4G saying they're boycotting them will really make them want to change their ways. Anywho, I'm off to get stuck into more Diablo 4!

" also have to understand that not long ago we were getting these things simply by playing the game the way we wanted to

By simply saying nothing, and accepting whatever the greedy publishers, do nothing will ever change."

I've been seeing people say this since Oblivions horse armour back in 2006. The horse has well and truly bolted by now buddy.

They're just cosmetics though, right?

Haven't preordered a game in a very long time but the beta ran really well on my Steam Deck and now here come positive reviews. Do I dare?

@just_looken

I played the demo of the rpg section and I'm pretty sure there were voice overs. Even if there wasn't, you're a bit of a tit for suggesting a fighting game can't be good because it has no voice overs.

Well, when I eventually get back to the point where I can get a console again it's not exactly going to be a tough choice which one I'm going to pick up. This looks fantastic.

And Sony Only players in complete despair that they might lose it 😅

"Oh yeah they despise us especially after Brexit"

Not really though. That's just the narrative fed to the British public to enforce the us versus the world mentality that pushed through Brexit in the first place. Nobody actually despises the UK for Brexit, there's plenty of other reasons for that 😅
