PS store RANT.

I know the PS4 hasn't been out that long, but how crap are the free games? I have to pay for this membership, and every month I look in the members area to be greeted by another lame game that I wouldn't even play on my iPhone while I'm sitting on the toilet. Remember on the PS3 some genuinely great games would pop up for free like Red Dead Redemption, Bioshock etc etc but all we get are horrendous looking arcade/puzzler/platforming games. **Have you seen Luftrausers??? If you could see brown noise, that's what it would look like** And don't try and get all hipster and say "uh dude you obviously don't appreciate pure, stripped back game design" because I've been playing games since the days where I could create Snakes face out of different coloured pixel smudges and think it was the most realistic thing I've EVER PLAYED. I could go back further than that but it's not the POINT I'M TRYING TO MAKE. Who wants to play something that looks like it's been cobbled together by a drunk game designer in his university dorm room in the 80's when we've paid ££££ for HD telly's and a NEXT GEN CONSOLE? Rhetorical question because the answer is NO-ONE. If I want to get misty eyed with nostalgia I'll go and dust off my Tazo or play ding-dong-dash. Could we not at least get Killzone (it's the crappest-whilst-decent PS4 game I can think of) or something vaguely enjoyable like it?? DAMN YOU SONY :-/ And we have to pay about a tenner more for digital games that are worth nothing and don't even exist as a material thing that can be resold... Why why why would anyone download a digital game that costs more than a REAL DISC?? Who CARES if I can preload it - I'm happy to wait for my pre-order from Game that always arrives on time. I can unwrap it, put it in the drive, get a beer while it installs, start drinking my beer and then PLAY MY GAME that I actually own In my house and if it's rubbish I'll just put it on EBay and not feel bad about losing a bit of money. If it's on your hard drive you've wasted nearly £60, sucker. Don't be fooled by the marketing hype. Pre-loading isn't a plus point and it won't make you more popular with your friends. It means you won't even leave your house to waddle down to the shops and mingle with humans, you lazy sociopathic A-hole. Unless you live in the country and beam your internet down from a satellite, it's an unacceptable reason. And that is a fact so don't argue because I'm right, 100% right. Unfortunately the biggest influence in gaming nowadays are 15 year olds who are amped up on Relentless Energy and screaming at their mum to "SHUT UP ABOUT DINNER BEING READY" while they mush their brains playing COD. It's a dark time in gaming; Assasins Creed Unity is a reskin, Farcry 4 is a reskin, Destiny DLC has been on the disk (if you're normal and own the disk) since day one but they locked it to make more money, Luftrausers exists. Right, I'm off to do a Strike for the 1000th time and then I'm going to farm some Helium Filaments for an hour.

  • Sony store isn't that bad. While I agree that digital should be cheaper if you like the game and plan on keeping it digital isn't a bad option since it will never break whether it's cause you're clumsy or an accident. Gaming is trending in a way that I don't like but it's not dark times yet! There are still good developers out there. They may not be making AAA games but they compete with them and are on par if not better than them.
