They didn't even have their second studio up and running in 2018. Even 2022 is doubtful

Paypal does region checks now, too.
Here's teh website that I used
Just be careful and select the card corresponding to the country, buy it, then in your cart you can see the code, redeem it on the psstore and voila you got money.(can be used to buy cheaper games too I often go on the canadian psstore).
Oh and if you are worried about ps+ set your other accounts to primary on your ps4 and you'll be able to play the games bought with every other accounts on your account that has ps+.

I think its something that will be hard to nail down in terms of time place and date.

But i will give you an example of what i think is going on.

These are my thoughts, on the matter.

Take the game Red dead redemption 2 for example.

I bought the game, based on reviews and feed back i got from websites.

These were 10/10,

Well, when i played the game, and i finished the whole thing i felt conned. Did the game look great, sure it did a masterpiece in looks. Some of the characters where FANTASTIC. Arthur Morgan is my man.

but the game itself, the combat was rubbish, the hunting, the fishing it was like a chore. There are so many things that were done right with the game but at the same time, there are so many things wrong too. a 10/10 laughable.
8/10 in my book, if its not fun when i play it, its not a masterpiece in my book no matter how good it looks.


but according to the review sites, this was second coming of Christ.

And here is the reason in my eyes, criticising said product basically stops you from receiving those big stay over, all inclusive paid for hotel or retreat weekends. It stops you getting those exclusive scoops, those very first interviews that brings thousands of viewers to your yard.

If you overly criticise that, you are basically biting the hand that feeds you.

I like Digital foundry, but them having that big xbox piece of silicon chip on their display case worries me alot.

I have been watching them for years now, and i can honestly say i can't put my finger on it, but i do feel they have a preference for xbox and seem to criticise sony stuff more, its like they have a loose muzzle fitted when it comes to criticising Microsoft stuff.

These are just my thoughts, no one else.

Man, RDR2 was the most overrated game of the generation, the user score explains that to me, most of the time you're running on a horse and need to press X repeatedly and continuously that nearly had 6-pack on may hand. The difficulty is insultingly easy, the whole story is pretty childish just like GTA5. Overall, it's a good game and it's 8/10 max. RDR1 was the complete opposite, a masterpiece back in the day.

And DF do provide quality stuff, but their bias towards xbox is pretty transparent and "understandable". But they should look at their subscription count, they don't need to sell their souls to the devil.

Yes, but you can use one paypal from the same region as the PSN (matching address), combined with your active PayPal account.

In any case, there are websites that sell valid PSN codes from any country which you can use to charge your wallet. This is the safest in any case.

It's funny that US/UK account gift cards are everywhere here, and even legit apps from Omantel (Oman Telecom) which is pretty strange. I use US account as some games get censored/banned. In terms of deals, well sometimes the local Omani store has better deals actually and overall cost slightly less.

I loved playing rdr2. It felt like a sim to me and in a good way. 10/10 easy.
Can you link 1 example of DF bias in the last 5 years please. Thanks.

I understand that. But many on here are implying that Halo Infinite is representative of XSX's power. Aaron told a flat out lie and i've never been a fan of that guy.

“Many on here”....

Um, everyone got their information from MS and the media who posted articles like this ...

https://www.theverge.com/2020/7/6/21302523/microsoft-xbox-series-x-games-event-stream-date

“Xbox series X games event” as written by the (entirely unbiased) Tom Warren himself.

The reason many people look at Halo as indicative of the capability and power of the Xsex is because that is what MS told them to expect.

Not talking about severe VRS usage, not speaking of elements disappearing, and objects that have no shadows at all, along with several problems. Here, you can make a better idea:

why even you trying? people just like werewold and dibil are blind and ignorant. their standart is minecraft in 4k. so this halo infinite demo was next gen showcase for them.

Kingtrash was funny but was just a shit video. DF not taking about every single graphic element in their short not full analysis isn't bias. They almost never do. For all systems. They are always about a few hot topics. It wasn't the full tech video that will come out after launch. It's not bias because it doesn't fit your bias narrative.

I'm nearly 40 and have been playing every game that interests me and I have time for over 30 years. I don't think Halo looked good. Neither did Alex. Your bias doesn't mean others are bias.

So explain to me why they do for Sony showcase (in particulary for GT 7 with 400% zoom) if they are not biased?
Plus should i remenber to you that Alex (Dictator) is a key member of the PS5 FUD discord gang, but you're right he is not biased :messenger_tears_of_joy: :messenger_tears_of_joy: :messenger_tears_of_joy:
I don't understand why some people are so blind regarding the bias of DF against Sony. It's clear with not the same treatment when it concern Sony

I’m gonna say this is unlikely.

Besides COVID delays, I think even if Sony has all this to show - at this stage they wouldn’t show it.

They’re only making 10 million consoles at this stage - showing PS5 gameplay of this stuff would probably mean they need to double production.

I think if they just announce the launch window to include GT7 there’ll be long delays for a PS5 at launch. This list would just create anger, fighting, scalping.

Yeah this really should be called the "Bashing XSX, praising PS5 |OT|"

Its unfortunate that your now in a time of backlash and "i told you so payback time".

The only people you can blame are the idiots that came into this thread and spread fud about sony none stop for six weeks.

Mr eastwood always brings up the 13tf statement as some kind of Gotcha moment, well that's one example, imagine multiplying that by ten times and you have got what the xbox fan boys did in this channel, but he is never interested in acknowledging that.

that above plus the over hyping and silly pr from phil spencer and his legion of paid for fanboys has made xbox abit of a laughing stock atm.

The Good news is, if you are a Microsoft fan you still have some very very good games in the pipeline.

Avowed for example, looks top notch and has a wonderful team. Will be massive if they get it right.

Fable, another great team and a fan favourite.

A new forza that would be mind blowing i am sure.

Only downside to these wonderful games, they probably are a few years away at least.

If you want to discuss stuff in this thread, concentrate on the positives, and stay away from attacking the ps5 console.

Alot of people come in here and say something, then throw shade at the ps5 at the same time and then suddenly wonder why they just got their day ruined. Concentrate on your games, the things you like, no one is stopping you from making a post.

I am not a technical person, but i am sure there are lots of people here that will chat with you.

Remember, kicking a hornets nest for no reason has consequences in real life, its the same in this thread.
No reason to attack the other side while you discuss your stuff.

Hope that helps somewhat. :messenger_heart:

Haha yeah. I've seen a lot of patronizing shit, but that was impressive on a whole new level. Anyone reading this thread knows that there's very little actual technical discussion and a lot of FUD, guesswork, console warring and meme'ing going on..


Well now let’s check some “discussion points” shall we?

9tf, thermal throttling, overheating.

These are points raised here and whined about continuously in the justice thread by those same people claiming over-moderation.

The thing is, these points specifically contradict official published specs.

The mods have even been very generous - the policy is that people can argue the official specs are misleading/wrong if they present evidence for their reasoning so it can be assessed.

The ban list is full of people offered that same lifeline. No one has come back that way yet.

So yeah - when people post “tech data” which is clearly contradictory to the official specs with no back up data, they are either misinformed - in which case people here very kindly correct them - or they’re trolling.

Subscriptions always ask for billing info.
Use the paypal trick. One paypal account with the same address as the PSN account, set it as billing information on your web browser (PS4 is glitchy with that).

Finally, always disable auto-renewal. It is set on by default. Always.

"mostly"
8 exclusives. 9, if we count Godfall, against 9(8).yeah, "mostly". writing nonsense like always.
Before you get your panties in a bunch, I only counted 7, but might've missed some. Demon Souls, Spider Man, Ratchet & Clank, Returnal, Sack Boy, GT7, and Silent Hill (if that's an exclusive).

Which ones did I miss?

7 exclusives against 10. 8 vs 9 if we count Godfall as console exclusive. still, it is pretty even, not mostly.

no, this is your bias, not DFs

It’s not really his bias is it? I mean the things Bo_Hazem Bo_Hazem listed are there for all to see. He’s querying why DF didn’t “see” those artefacts.

Cherno did a short video just pausing the trailer and discussing the issues and that had more technical scrutiny than the DF gameplay analysis.

This is core business for DF - their bread and butter. A new console gen .... This is when they should be making the most hits and therefore when their analysis should be at its deepest and most revealing.

I suppose DF could simply be incompetent since these artefacts didn’t require any special skill or knowledge to spot.

Perhaps rather than biased we should say DF is selectively incompetent.

When creating a US Paypal account, you need a US phone number to confirm it (they send a text). I actually have a US number but I haven't used it since January and it expired. They know our dirty tricks.
