Sony bricked mine with some silly update, that makes the console stay in an infinite loop.. So Sad

Regarding the Digital Consoles... I have a PS4 in my living room, when I just want to pop in a disc and play or if I want to watch a movie. That's the only disc console I have. Other than that I only have the Xbox Series S and the PS5 Digital. Especially since here where I live, you don't pay 50 bucks more for a disc drive, but instead you pay 100 bucks more. And I can save these, and still play most of my favorite games.

This game sucks anyways

Pc players revealed how toxic the community is. I don’t want to play the game anymore after this huge overreaction.

Thanks dude! I would’ve been so frustrated without a guide.

love the guy that rage quit in tekken lol

Just got a used PS5 slim just for stellar blade onto sony and thier HQ in California stop the double standards on Asian devs there’s no point getting a Pro this gen of Sony is a absolute joke just hardware hardly any good games not infected with ESG/DEI stuff

Undo the region lock on the 178 regions, now that PSN has been defeated SteamDB Helldivers 2 restrictions

I like your vids but can you make more trophy hunters stuff please?

bought one, pickup it up 2moro!!!!!!!

Well now Steam users use manipulation to review bomb. Now they have to backtrack and lets see the reviews after.

Persona 3 Reload is dropping in the rankings but still impressive it’s in the top 10. Even higher that Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth

I remember socom got murdered on ps3 , where it came out and then Sony got hacked and the ps3 was offline for a few months , absolutely killed it

First clip was so wholesome 😂

they didn’t drop lightfall yet rip

Goodbye horizon we won't miss you

This is the true meaning of the "Ultimate".

I still play ps3 till this day have my ps5 on my flat screen and a lil tv set up on my dresser for the ps3 classic games and for the most part there is still people playing so awesome and nostalgic to see

This guy is nerd. He tries to act like a 16-year-old cool boy.

With the recent news, I'm VERY worried for lost soul aside

For me at least, those data breaches AND the extremely invasive age verification you MUST go through here in the UK to set up a PSN account, yes Microsoft have this as well but only for adults verifying a child's account, means that no PC gamer in the UK is likely to sign up for a PSN account. I have to say though that this is a very fair take on the whole situation 👍

Yeah so I’ve been using and buying things on my UAE based PSN account while living in Iraq for about a decade now Its safe to say the numbers matter more for Sony than that PSN regions rule In fact this whole thing about requiring people to link to PSN is also to potentially boost numbers, get more PS Plus subscribers and promote more of their games or services to the PC audience

I still play PS3 all the time, the only downside to PvP games is literally everyone on custom firmware is cheating in every game 🤣

My account was hacked then I changed my password

Ryan my username is SwiftAndDeadly

I still do cause i don't want to pay monthly for something that used to be free.saints row the 3rd add me people and lets have fun!!!! Why_u_so_nasty35

Just the man I've been hoping to see a video from about this.

Normally I agree with Mystic, but not in this case. If people actually took some responsibility for themselves and read the terms of use before they agreed to it, none of this would be a surprise or a controversy. The only thing ambiguous is those 177 countries that think they'll be locked out of the game, but you're supposed to select your closest region when you can't select the region you actually live in. That was not communicated well and thus, Sony is not faultless, but the PSN requirement was made known up front from the start.

When this is gonna be able ?

Great coverage overall, Ryan, but one thing that wasn’t mentioned is what PSN represents to PC Players (beyond “just another account): Paid online gaming. One reason I’m moving to PC is because my kids and I want to play Granblue Fantasy Relink together and, on Playstation, I would have an annual expense of $300+ to make that happen. On PC, that’s free … but if they start requiring it for online multiplayer of Sony titles, what’s to stop them from charging for their “exclusives”? With the price hikes last year, I and many others cancelled our subscriptions because, ultimately, Sony have shown us that TDGAF about their players, so long as they can milk some or all of us dry. And in expanding to PC, that opens up another avenue for recurring revenue; Sure they’d have to offer something, but they’re a business and I find it highly naive to think that they would force this on players to just “leave it there”. Sony doesn’t have a track record that shows they know what and when to leave things the **** alone. For PC Players, that represents problematic history, bad precedent and a future that is not only antithetical to what we have had since the beginning, it’s not what we want at all.

Gamers are annoying. Which is why I’ve been gaming way less lately

Good job on the PC player for obtaining this concession. The PS players should take note and do the same to remove the PS Plus requirement for playing online after already investing in the console itself considering the PC alternative.

imagine how good games could be again if we did this with the likes of ubisoft, blizzard, ea, etc.

Nothing like playing the blame game

8 months and still no real improvement from Sony or any sign that they wish to get better. I'm reqlly glad i cancelled my sub to premium

If I'm 1 of those who refunded this game, I don't be coming back. I'm pretty sure there are many ppl who are like that

I'm still surprised that after so long PSN is still not available in so many countries. Be better, do better, Sony!!!

Planning to get one the same color as yours :) Apparently they have a different battery from the other 1000s which gives it slightly higher battery life so that's pretty cool.

I love how level headed Ryan's take are. IMO this whole thing is blown out of proportion. It is just very convenient to ignore the fact that the account requirement info was always on the Steam page. But I agree, Sony should have made sure players were being reminded of that change coming right from the start, perhaps with an in-game message.

This is such a big L.

The biggest mistake really was not enforcing this day one. By not enforcing it, they give proof to the community that a PSN login is purely for arbitrary reasons instead of being a core part of their network infrastructure.

This whole debacle was a lack of foresight on Sony’s part. The game should not have been sold at all in countries where PSN does not exist from the get go

There is still no buy button

Going DtD with PC will hurt them further. I am going to PC myself, because there are no more exclusives and Sony just wants to make GaaS (yuck) instead of the games I want anymore. The fact that their sales are doen YoY proves it is already hurting their console sales and PSN subscriber count. Really what is the reason to keep playing on PS Mystic? Every game I want is on PC now and Sony's censorship is also an issue.

Horizon ZD is a shit game so it’s not a huge loss

Why can't the PS5 console be played or use an app when you transfer games from one SSD to another, just like on the PS4, and the PS5 is a much more powerful console, and it can't play games that you don't transfer from one disk to another or to watch KZbin, for example?

That’s worth about $13.82 at Game Stop in cash or $13.83 in store credit 🤙

KZbin music should be added to PlayStation like Spotify

You can sit there and say "the damage is done", but in the end player numbers didn't have even the smallest hiccup during or after the whole "ordeal". It's great that it's reversed, but how much do you wanna bet when an actual real issue comes up these same people are going to do the same thing... make a lot of noise but keep playing and paying.

Their ultimate goal is probably to release their own PlayStation game client on PC (a la Ubisoft, EA, MS, etc..) I would be down for that if they offer cross-buy for first party titles.
