I deactivated my auto renewal after the price hike

Same, I had it for the PC to play PS Now (can't remember what the new name for that is).

But the increase is too drastic for my use. I can't pay for premium just to use it for cloud gaming.

I used to be able to get a yearly sub for around £45, now I think it's around 2 or 3 times that, I think.

The wank simulator got an 8? Not bad.

This one handed game has better story telling than your flagship title. Think about that.

Don't tell me "you just play it for the articles". XD

No one who plays this, knows there's a story. Does it have MGS levels of convolution? That's just what you want for the wank bank isn't it. XD

Nah, I’m a retro gamer, don’t think about that stuff when I put a game on.

Although 50Hz on old consoles in PAL regions is a huge pain in the ass. It means all our old consoles run games slower than intended.

30fps isn’t ideal, but it’s still playable for me.

Some times it’s worth playing the poorer version of games out of fascination. For example HL2 and Doom 3 were especially built for original Xbox. Or Alien Isolation for the Xbox 360. No doubt they run at 30fps, but it’s still interesting to see the games running on older hardware.

Sony has 4 exclusives in early 2024 while your Box has ZERO. Misery.

They're just mad because the next Xbox exclusive is a 5 hour walking simulator/puzzle game starring an insane person... that's gonna end up on PS5 anyway 🤣🤣

Soooo... A sony movie game? :-S

Ghost are you shilling for Sony on minute differences in sea of thieves? 😂

Only a Xbox shill would interpret this information that way. (see @Pedro)

The best place to play Xbox games is PC. The second best place to play Xbox games is on PlayStation 5. The worst way to natively play Xbox games is on Xbox hardware… Let that sink in. Thanks Phil! 😂🤣😂

"Only a Xbox shill would interpret this information that way"

Then you bring up a fanboy take? To somehow prove you're not a PS shill. How does that make sense to you? :-S

And yeah it's a fanboy take considering like 1% of Xbox games is on PS.

If I'd spent as much time playing real instruments as I did plastic peripherals I'd be a virtuoso.

Yeah, that's why I never take gaming too seriously. You see pro gamers playing Street Fighter or whatever, I just keep thinking, bro you'd be a 4th dan in a Martial Art by now, if you spent that same time doing it for real.
