Nah, there are a lot of benefits to supporting smaller retailers. For example, I got Ni No Kuni 2 Prince's Edition at a very reasonable price from small retailer at launch. Very equivalent to US$ price (Maybe some 200 Rs more). And that edition was not even released in India. The retailer arranged for it, because I asked him for it. A friend of mine got Horizon 2 Collector's Edition for 12k (The Official Price). He would not have got it if it was a national chain, because of competition from the entire country. If you are a regular customer of a small retailer, they might even keep 1 unit of next gen console for you (Non-scalper prices) and sell you official stock. It's like a small town market. The supplier knows you, and will sell you, while you give him business on a somewhat regular basis. Just because 1 small retailer is cheating, does not mean all are bad.

Can someone tweet about these guys to Sony? AFAIK, Sony is so controlling these days, that if quite a bit of people report - these guys will not have any units allocated to them in future.

PlayStation vs Xbox vs Nintendo thread

Sony is not "On Top of it's Game". This is literally the worst iteration of Sony I've seen. After the PS2, Sony was really "On Top of It's Game" during the mid PS3 gen onwards - 1) They introduced new IPs left and right. They made almost all of block-busters. Despite having hard to program for HW, they used their own studios to ensure customers get one of the best experiences possible. 2) Free Online 3) Paid Online that was actually worth it. The free PS+ games of that gen were out of the world. 4) Game prices that were pretty reasonable 5) Actually listening to customers. Things like retiring games using motion controls and bringing back rumble via Dualshock 3. They also did very well with the PS4. Easy to program for console with some of the best UI and some of the best features. Some absolutely innovative games as well. Then by the end of PS4 gen, Jim Ryan became head, and now we have he following - 1) Paid for online with very rare chance of getting any good games. 2) New PS+ Tiers that are horrible, not worth it, and killed any chance of ever getting worthwhile PS+ games. 3) $10/600 Rs "Next Gen" Upgrades, that they put a bare minimum effort into, and which under any other gen - Sony happily provided for free (In fact all other console manufacturers and most of the 3rd party game makers do provide next gen upgrade for free.) 4) Sony making a consortium with the likes of EA and raising game prices unnecessarily. 5) The Scummery of Horizon Forbidden West - where they hid the upgrade under "Fine Print" and charged an extra $10/1000 Rs just like that from un-informed customers. Sony, when it was Japanese - used to be a company of it's word. If the head said something was free, it used to be. It never required vigilant gamers to shame them into providing it + they never used to hide under "Fine Print" 6) The Scummery of Gran Turismo 7, where they introduced an MTX that can put EA to shame. 7) Their library which is going 99% towards "Movie Based Adventure Games" (With 1 exception - Returnal). Their highly innovative game IPs - ICO/SOTC, Gravity Rush, Folklore, Resistance, Journey etc. have simply disappeared. 8) They removed features on the PS5. On PS4 - you can back-up saves on USB; and this did not need PS+. On PS5 - only Cloud Save is available for back-up, and it needs PS+. They also removed features like Themes etc. They are frankly cruising on PS4 lead at this point + the fact that all competitors are doing different things. If they had traditional competition this gen - like Nintendo during the PS2 days or MS during the PS3 days - they would be learning some very hard lessons right about now. I have a PS5. I love the console. It feels very premium, it's very fun and has some good features. But to say "Sony is at the top of it's game" is just plain wrong. -
If you are talking about beacons (The Blue Light you can set on the map), here is a trick I found online (which works) - There can only be 5 beacons at a time. When you put a 6th, it erases the first one. So you can lay down 5 beacons close to each other, and erase them. This erases all beacons. If you are talking about markers, them you can go to map, press square (on PS, I think it will be Y button on Xbox, which AFAIK is Square button equivalent) and click "Remove all markers".

Lol done with Malenia. 3rd or 4th attempt, that's all. Very first attempt I used Comet Azur. This is why I love my Mage Build. Me and Mimic - https://pin.it/3E9MU0O Father-Son Kamehameha

Wut? 1/2 the bosses in Sekiro could be cheesed. You just needed the right weapons for the right time. For example, all beast bosses could be cheesed with fireworks etc. Some could be fought at from a distance where the bosses can't hit you etc.There were just some specific bosses that could not be cheesed. The problem was 1 of them was a mandatory story boss (Genichiro), so he acted as a Gatekeeper for skill. BB is top for me (Just for sheer mind-f**ery) and Sekiro for simple combat fluidness and getting rid of Stamina Bar. Did you ever feel like playing Skyrim or Zelda: Breath of the Wild with Souls combat? That is essentially what this game is. There is tons and tons to explore. Dungeons, Traps, Epic Loot and Puzzles dot the landscape. The huge Hogwarts like castle - go for it. Top of a snow capped mountain - there for you. You might be exploring and come up to an entire underground world literally as big as the entire normal game map. You might just find yourself at R'lyeh and find yourself in Cthulu's Nightmare City. You might take part in a friendly gladiatorial festival, and enjoy with the crowds. Anything your eye can see (and can't see, but you imagine) - you can most probably find it. It's an explorer's dream. With Souls Combat - which means you better be ready if you are going to explore those places. Death can still come to you at any time. It's essentially the next level of open-world. So yes, the game is worth it.

I was outputting similar damage to yours. Radahn never used to get stunned at 50% health like in your video. He did not even do rush attack, which AFAIK was Phase 1. Radahn also typically killed all summons at least 2-4 times, making you run around the field re-summoning them. Which did not happen here.This is not the Radahn that I beat, that made a lot of players question their life choices. Wonder why they nerfed him. Radahn was optional and he was never the hardest boss. There are other bosses far harder, without even counting Malenia (For me, f**k Alecto, Black Knife Ringleader) Don't waste Ancient Dragon Smithing Stones. AFAIK there are only 8 in the entire game - and the one you got was the only one easy to obtain. Use it only on weapons you are absolutely sure you will keep and use till the game completely ends. Caved in and used the Spear at the end. Made the boss a joke. Still, I'm happy I was able to almost kill the boss without it (Before running out of mana). Hope that gave me enough practice for Malenia. Ranni's Dark Moon is awesome. Dark Moon reduced magic resist, so combo of that + other spells is really fun. There is also a great satisfaction in creating an entire Moon and lobbing it on the boss's head. Yes I did complete the 3 Target Marks that the lady gave. Got some spells and a lot of armor sets out of that quest (None of which I will most probably use since I'm a mage/INT Player). Though I hope that the Knoght Bernahl (From Warmaster's Shack in Limgrave) spawns to invade me. Hope that killing the 3 targets are enough for that. Guides said he would. i need to kill him to take his weapon for the Legendary Armaments Trophy. Trying to finish plat in 1 play-through and not have to go to NG+ or further.

@Assassins Creed How are you liking the game so far? It's your first Souls Game right? Also lol at Fromsoft. They literally removed 1/2 of Radahn's moveset with the new patch it seems. No Meteor Strike, Area Lightning, Meteor Summons or anything else. No wonder everyone is screaming at From right now. Also @Heaven Angel and @STICK3Rboy Do you need the spear to beat Praetor Rykard? I got him down to 20% health at Phase 2 - but then ran out of mana, which is a big deal because I'm at Mana Soft Cap (60 FP) and 13 Flasks (8 Dedicated to mana - which also ran out). Seems that Spear is going to be needed lol. Were you able to beat Rykard without it?

PS4 version is clearly marked as PS4. PS5 version is clearly marked as PS5. Don't see the issue here. -

At this point, I think the entire company is surviving on that lol. Any goodwill SE has also comes from FFXIV. Naoki Yoshida (FFXIV Director) must be the most influential person in the company right about now. First time in a long time that a new face has been allowed to be the head on a brand new SP FF game (FF16). -
Looks like Sony is trying very hard to capitalize on Elden Ring hype

Fake - 1) Game demos are free by their very nature. If a game has a demo, it's free - otherwise there is no point or it's not a demo. No need to advertise it. They should have mentioned Early Access or Full Game Timed Access to make it more believable (Like EA does) 2) They are already giving free games/month on normal PS+. There is no use removing it from the so called "Bronze" tier. Same for PS store discounts. 3) $ sign keeps changing. I don't think any company does this. Clearly Photoshopped. 4) No mention of Cloud Saves. 5) Far too expensive. Current PS+ offers all the features of the so-called "PS+ Gold" here (Minus Streaming). Normal PS+ costs $59.99/annum. They are going from $60 per annum to $159.96/annum, with no new additions. Useless 6) Sony is not yet able to stream even PS3 titles properly. It's one of the reasons PS Now is failing. They had to give PS4 titles as downloadable for the service to even exist. Last time, they were trying to emulate PS3 on PS4/PS5 systems and offer PS3 titles as downloadble. Forget about streaming PS5 titles. Also charging $239.96/annum for streaming games - omegalul. They are just asking to be crucified.

I would imagine it's not easy getting another job. I don't think many employers (i.e. interviewers, HR and supervisors, not firms as a whole) take kindly to having a record of filing a case against the old work place. She does need to earn and run her own house at the end of the day. She might also be hopeful that the work-place might be better once the new management takes over (MS). She might be there to help other employees, who are going through or went through a similar experience. All of this, is discounting what she would have discussed with her lawyer. It's very much possible that the lawyer told her to stay at the existing work-place. for better chance at the case.

@ Everyone seels PS+ is working now (Post Update). Check to see if it's working for you.

Did you guys do the Great Jar Knight quest in Caelid. It's a match of 3 PvP which pits you against real invaders (If you're online) and you have to do it successfully in 1 run. It's in front of the giant jar in Caelid (in front of the castle) that has to be accessed from the Siofra river. It's fun. Also @Mr.Copyright© and @ΨΨ babloos ΨΨ PS+ is working now. You should check. I was able to go online last night.
-
Yup! Can't go online without the latest patch, and the latest patch destroys your ability to go online. No way to roll-back patch. Also, so many people reporting that it's not a one-off. I wonder - did Sony even test the patch before rolling it out? Horrible performance on Sony's part.
-
Looking at reddit and other sites - seems that the new update has destroyed PS+. No way to get online, and no cloud saves. Only the free games were spared. Such stupidity Hope Sony fixes this quickly.

There's something really strange going on now. My PS5 got updated. I'm subscribed to PS+ till 2nd August. But currently most if my PS+ features are not working. I'm not able to go online Cloud Saves are not working. But the games that came free with PS+ (Like Persona Scramble) is working fine. Can anyone check if this is the case for them also? Any idea how to fix this? I want to go online in Elden Ring - which I'm not able to do. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks a lot for the help!!

I only played Evil Eithin 2 (on PC). As far as I played - the game had no issues. It ran butter smooth and played well. It was fun. I did not finish it though, because other games got my attention in between.

Am fine. Sry for no wall of text this time though
-
With this tweet, I feel that they are trying for a GAAS title set in the Witcher World with custom characters. At the bare minimum, they are keeping their options open in anticipation of this.

The medallion ses to be from the School of the Cat. Seems we might be playing a new character here. Not Geralt/Ciri/Lambert/Eskel. You should play CP 2077 after Patch 1.5. It's really good now. Problem with CP2077 was always that they became too ambitious. What they tried to do would have been difficult in Current Gen HW. It was pretty much impossible in last gen. But they had to release there for Shareholders. Also, a lot of games are announced in this way. They'll show trailers at E3 and other major events.

Is it any surprise? It's Harry Potter after all. Funny thing is - for all of Journalist's boycott calls, people in YT comments don't care much at all.

Nice!! How did you do Age of Stars and Elden Lord in 1 play-through though?
