Soup, do games w PS5 Homescreen Now Replaces Unique Video Game Art With Annoying Ads You Can’t Turn Off

Personally, it doesn’t bother me. I use my PS5 to game and steam shows. I spend a grand total of seconds on the Home Screen.

Can’t quite understand why this is such a big problem. But we’re all into our own things so it is what it is.

v4ld1z,

It kind of dampens and cheapens the experience of using the console. The PS+ tab and the PS Store tab are, essentially, full of ads already but at least they’re contained to the two left-most tabs on the home menu. Sure, you usually don’t stick around too long after selecting a game to play or a streaming service to watch something off, but I’d rather not see more ads than needed when the current system already works well as is.

Soup,

Yeah. I get that. It makes sense, but I just don’t see it as some thing that really bothers me that much. I spent decades watching TV ads though, so, maybe I’m just more patient?

v4ld1z,

Sure, could be. I used to not be able to watch movies because I’d be used to TV ads forcing a break every now and then. Took me a while but I couldn’t go back to ad-less YouTube, for example

Soup,

Oh I can’t either. Totally with ya there.

Blackmist,

It gets clicks from angry people, that’s the only reason IGN do anything these days.

Sad that they bought Eurogamer, because they were one of the last sites that hadn’t gone to complete shit.

Soup,

That makes sense. Seems I am too though. Doesn’t change the fact that I’ve no idea why they’re so upset about it.

It doesn’t have to bother you personally to be unfair. I don’t pay this amount of money on their games and consoles to be bombarded by ads. It’s not a “big” problem, but it is a problem. Some people don’t want to see so many ads, to be tempted to buy stuff all the time or have a bloated home screen.

Just because you don’t mind doesn’t mean everyone has to do so as well.

Damn. I finally got around to reading the article. That’s a hell of a story.

I can believe either main possibility though. It’s possible the dude just has a type, and a lot of really strange coincidence in his life. Unlikely that so many perfect coincidences exist, but not totally impossible (I’ve seen some weird shit in my fifty years).

It’s also totally believable that someone would create alternate identities for any number of reasons, some of which aren’t necessarily bad, though the degree to which it went is out of line if that’s the case. But I kinda doubt it was done fully benignly if that’s what the truth is.

And, I guess there’s always the possibility of a mix of those, with one or more of the three dubious people being real, and the rest fake.

But dude nuking everything online is super suspicious.

It’s a $40 live service game that is borked on Linux. For as long as this remains to be the case, they can get fucked.

Geek_King, do gaming w Kingmakers Is Getting A Live Action Film Adaptation, From The Makers Of The Sonic Movie Franchise

Well that’s bizarre, I had wishlisted Kingmakers to keep track of it, but it felt like a ambitious game by an indie dev. To have it suddenly flagged for a live action film adaptation feels out of the blue.

Not to say that the premise wouldn’t fun in a movie, because it most definitely would be.

Reina has a pretty distinct style despite the inherited moves. The way she can roll for example maker her play like a more agile character then hei hei.

Still need to play that. But soooo much to play, and I already got a few games I’m actively playing. And I stopped buying onto backlog when I said I’ll need to improve that spending habit of mine on NY 2015. Heh, actually stuck to one of my NY promises for once. 😅

I really hope this isn’t shit.

By “original”, I assume they mean Yakuza [Kiwami] 1 not Yakuza 0?

KuroiKaze,

Yeah Y0 is too far back to go for a show I imagine

Sad. I was thinking the buyout was more about owning ip e.g halo, fallout tv shows than the devs. I guess in ms world any other studio can take over game development.
