conciselyverbose, to gaming in Final Fantasy 16 Is Overheating and Crashing PS5 Consoles Completely

So knowing the game is obviously important for this kind of stuff to avoid it if it does damage, but I never like the messaging. It's not a game's fault if the hardware/OS allow it to break your hardware, whether it also is flawed or just demanding. It's always entirely the fault of the hardware/firmware/OS for having flaws that can break your stuff.

The news follows confirmation from Take-Two it plans to let go of 600 full-time workers to save $165 million annually, which was shared a few weeks ago. That is despite making billions upon billions of dollars as a result of the GTA series.

Why make billions of dollars when you could make billions and one? /s

Shirasho,

You know they aren’t paying their employees $275,000/year average. There is way more to that number than just letting go 600 employees.

Finally, a game where I can listen to the radio out loud while riding the bus! I feel seen!

Zahille7, to cyberpunk2077 in Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.1 Adds Metro System, On-Person Radio, Car Races, and Much More

Holy shit, we can now listen to the radio in our heads!

It always baffled me why we couldn’t do that when we have our entire phone in our heads in-game.

techwithjake,

That’s one thing that’s always confused me. Do we actually have the phone in our heads or is it just immersion? Cause NPCs are shown using phones like we have today.

Wilibus,

In the tabletop game which takes place in 2040 there is an option for an internal agent that is part of your neuralware suite and an upgrade for your cybereyes to add a heads up display.

Presumably 30+ years later the tech should still be available if not improved on.

techwithjake,

Good to know!

Wilibus,

Yup, important to note that “quick hacks” don’t exist in the tspletop game though. Netrunning is entirely based around infiltrating net architectures that require “entry” through an access point. And the focus is entirely on programs and daemons that exist entirely in cyberspace. You can’t just look at a security camera and shit it off, you can’t reboot optics or really do anything offensive to NPCs like you can in the video game.

There is a new supplement coming based off of CP2077 and it this is one of the biggest requested features.

As long as we can turn it off, that’s fine.

Anticorp, to gaming in Sony raising PS Plus pricing by 33%

Are they still going to auto renew this shit even though they massively increased the price? That should be illegal. I would have never seen the increase until after it was billed if not for this post.

Do you guys remember when prices used to go up like 3-5%? I guess corporations started taking notes from the fricken DMV.

gk99,

Considering their subscription competitor costs $204 a year while they were at $120/yr, I think it’s pretty clear why they boosted the upper tiers so much. Even with this price increase, it’s still $44 cheaper than Ultimate and imo a better overall value in terms of game quality.

What’s really trash is that they’re increasing the price of the base PS+ membership, and by so much. It now costs $150 a year to play just Madden, CoD, or EA Soccer, on top of a minimum $400 console purchase. That’s absurd. I would say this is a W for Xbox, but they already tried to increase the price of Gold and they’ll definitely try again now that they know there’s no escaping it.

…Other than buying a PC.

szczuroarturo,

Oh yeach paying for playing online games is such a bulshit. I never really complained about it online beacuse i was buying ps plus on ps3 when it only gave you games ( beacuse i do buy it only for games and i would never pay it to play online games) so it never really affected me but this is such a bs. Im suprised there wasnt a bigger outcry against it.

Anticorp,

The base tier is entirely bullshit. You shouldn’t need to pay them money to access the internet that you already pay another company for. The base tier shouldn’t exist.

Skiptrace,

Gold is going away and getting a value increase. It’s becoming “Gamepass Core” it retains Online function, and gets 25 Gamepass Games.

Microsoft only increased the price by like, 2 dollars. Not this nonsense.

XTornado,

I mean… Usually in this cases once they charge you you can still ask for a refund as long as it hasn’t passed a lot of days but yeah I agree is shit.

BigVault, to gaming in Sony raising PS Plus pricing by 33%

I used to own both a Series X, PS5 and have my gaming PC (all in the same room - desktop currently has an i5 13500, RTX 3090 24GB, 4TB of NVME storage & 128GB ram)

Got myself a 5m hdmi lead capable of driving my 4k/120 TV and just ended up using my pc for everything now.

I just switch sources between my monitor and tv when I want to game on the couch. Any mouse/keyboard input needed, I do it on the Unified remote app on my phone and fire up Steam big picture on the tv.

Sold the PS5 and XBOX and ditched two more subscriptions hitting me every month.

No regrets so far.

I bought a steam link forever ago and ran an Ethernet cable from my router to it. Works like a charm.

Maybe they should let us turn off the absurdly overdone motion blur...

If this is happening to you look up how to clean the inside of your ps5. The ps5 has a special place you can vacuum out the inside (which normally breaks electronics)

HarkMahlberg,

Source for this "special place?" Also the act of vacuuming alone is not what kills electronics, it's the static electricity their fans generate that could discharge into electronics and kill them. The safer method is compressed air, either by a limited-use can or an electric air compressor.

Sure thing; Sony shows it in the official teardown of the ps5.

Thanks. I've seen this video before but didn't notice this part.

Weird, just finished the game in the graphics mode and my ps5 is sitting in an area within the media center and didnt have any issues.

digitalspork,

I have a launch day PS5 Disc Edition and also didn’t have any issues with nearly 80 hours in the game playing on graphics mode.

I guess KSP 2 won’t ever be better than KSP 1. That sucks.

Why are you all so upset? These stock buybacks don’t pay for themselves, you know!

God I hate the stock market.

wccrawford, to games in Final Fantasy 16 Successfully Expanded the Series to New, Younger Players, Says Square Enix

Any good game of the series would have “expanded the series to new, younger players”. Every single good FF game has done that.

That said, I didn’t like 16. I played for quite a while, but felt like I was just being led around by the nose and didn’t enjoy the combat, which was basically the only thing in the game. Maybe it gets better later? I dunno.

newthrowaway20,

No, it doesn’t get better. It stays like that the whole game.

The Eikon abilities get more expansive as you go on. Eventually, most of my combat was using the abilities as they charged, which kind of made it more turn based oddly enough.

I don’t know which ones you reached, but the first Eikon’s ability set was the worst in my opinion. Although I thought it was a good introductory set.
