The scorpion spawning is a result of the nerfing, they're super rare now. The best way to get one is to go to a mystery island and clear everything out. In the evening, obviously.

I don't think Halo has anywhere near the pull it once had, so I don't think Sony have much to worry about there. Also you'd be surprised, Sony has a big following in Europe - we're talking 2:1 and 3:1 PS4 to X1 sales in many territories. I can imagine most European gamers will want to stay with Sony to carry on playing the games they like.

I think it's definitely worth waiting for PS5. It'll be boosted at the very least, and possibly even get a full upgrade for PS5 if they decide to release a PS5 version.

Will be interesting to see, that's for sure. Out of interest, supposing they do have some game reveals (and games that are out before long), would you say it paid off for them to hold back announcing anything that last few years? I know you were excited when Paper Mario got announced the other day with only a short time until release.

This really looks fantastic, glad to see the Japanese audio track too (seemed really strange to me that they were using English voices as the default). It's nice to see Sony providing such strong support for their console right at the end of the generation.

Sorry to hear that. Just for the future, I would recommend getting one (they can be set up to be paid in full automatically so no worry of getting in debt). It's worth it for this kind of protection, and you can also get one that charges 0% on foreign transactions (good for spending abroad).

Did you book any of these things on a credit card? You may be able to get your money back for any individual purchases over 100 pounds. Full information here. You basically contact your credit card company and you should be covered, so long as you used the credit card to pay for the purchases (and not a debit card). Martin Lewis has gone into detail about this a number of times and success rates are really high.

Edit: and I see why now. Looks like you got the same Tapatalk error I did. [emoji14]

That's a lot of posts!

I think Gmail is probably pretty safe, as is Sheets, Drive, Play Store, Maps and YouTube, just because of their popularity. Anything else though feels like fair game.

Are you talking about the regular YouTube app? Because you can install the unofficial app YouTube Vanced, which has background play and no ads.

Damn right I will give them the benefit of the doubt here, they make, release and market games for a living, and have done it very successfully these past 5 years. I don't see a reason to think they've suddenly lost their minds and don't know know their strategy all of a sudden. I personally think they are saving their announcements for when they will have more impact. Well....yeah. I suppose if we can conveniently say they didn't just do what they did, and pretend they did something else, then we can say people love what they are doing. [emoji14] I think it was pretty clear when Sony revealed their controller that their tactic paid off. The enthusiasm for just their controller, as measured by social media reaction, was considerably greater than the much meatier announcements Microsoft had been making. People are hungry for PS5 and Sony know it Except that's not true, is it? Cerny's video has a 3:1 upvote to downvote ratio, which actually confirms the complete opposite of what you're saying. Contrast this to Microsoft's video from 2 days ago, which has more downvotes than upvotes.

Yes, please do add Labo VR. Your list is very strong now. So Ronnie, if there are no gaps, what's coming out in the next 12 months? You've focused on the past but I can easily make the argument that there are gaps by looking at what's coming out in the next year.

I'm guessing you went back 16 months instead of 12 since you didn't have a very convincing list. Whichever way you look at it, Switch has been out far less time than PS4 but already feels like the best has already been, and there are often clusters of months where there are no quality big titles releasing. You've also got to remember that PS4 gets big third party games whereas Nintendo have to release more themselves to fill in the blanks. Why don't we consider that Sony might actually know what they're doing with these announcements? I feel they have earned the benefit of the doubt this generation. Like so far, we have seen Microsoft reveal too much information and too often, going as far as revealing third party games on Thursday that actually made a bad first impression for the console. Sony are clearly opting to keep their cards close to their chest and it seems to be working. Keeping quiet for so long, look how much buzz they generated when they actually did reveal something - the PS5 controller.

Nintendo's approach is cram their big guns into the first few years, leaving big first party gaps thereafter. That's what is happening now with Switch and also happened with Wii and Wii U. Sony's approach is a steady one, but they support the console right up until the end of its life. See Ghosts of Tsushima, Nioh 2, and TLOU2 this year. As I said before, Sony absolutely do not need to copy Nintendo's approach because they have good third party support, and not only that, their systems sell well even without that support right away (see PS4). And my point about you being unhappy was that you complain if they don't announce games early and then complain when they do. You just want to be a hater.

Just to note on this, PlayStation and Xbox are generally very well supported by third parties so they don't need to offer the stellar year 1 first party output to match something like the Switch. If you look at PS4 and X1, PS4 became the established dominant console based just on its policies and hardware, relative to the competition. It took time for the great exclusives to come but that generally wasn't an issue and it flew off the shelves. Sony are obviously developing games (since why wouldn't they be) so your unhappiness seems to stem from the fact they haven't announced any new ones in the last few years. But I know for fact that you also complained when Sony announced games in the past years ahead of their release date, and then showed gameplay for them year after year. I feel like you would not be happy either way.

They don't need to. Not yet, anyway. Games they could have announced for PS5 in 2018 or 2019 will make far more impact if announced this year, the year they want people to choose PS5.

You'd be surprised, my 55" OLED was about 1.2k.

Ha, that wrestling room looks like the main room in my house.

They can't, so they won't.

I'll be over!
