Haha this is excellent! I do play on PS5, but I’m glad exclusives are becoming less of a thing (it was always annoying having certain games walled off to one console). I’m not quite sure why anyone would buy a PS5 Pro…

Ahh thanks - It’s included within an existing Playstation subscription I have, so I can play it without any extra charge. If it’s short and fun like you say, I’ll definitely give it a go!

Several of those targeted were female Labour candidates standing in seats where there was a strong opposition to the party’s stance on the war in Gaza

He added that there was a particular pattern of abuse “created by aggressive pro-Palestine activists”

Is RE3 remake worth playing? I loved the remake of the second one.

Admittedly I don’t use the D-pad all that much - does it not register inputs well? I guess it’s pretty important if you’re playing a fighting or retro game that require precise inputs. For the games I’ve played, it hasn’t been an issue.

No the pro controller doesn’t have hall effect sticks, but I’ve not experienced any drift. I did take it apart once to clean the insides however.

I had no end of problems with the joy cons, and have replaced those sticks with hall effect ones. Since doing that I’ve not had any problems, touch wood!

To be fair I’ve had the pro controller for several years and it has held up really well. Really ergonomic and the vibration’s good, plus it has gyro. Perfect for my needs on Switch. I think it was worth what I paid.

The 8Bitdo Pro+ has been great - works really well with my Steam Deck and Switch. Sounds like the Pro 2 is the superior version with hall effect sticks.

The Switch Pro controller has always been good too. And the DualSense is really neat with the haptics and adaptive triggers - expensive, but not that much more than a Pro controller surprisingly.

I think this model can work, and has its benefits (like with Game Pass). To be clear though, Ubisoft’s offering is shit and not worth the price they’re asking. And one thing I absolutely hate is the (sometimes timed) exclusivity on some of these platforms. The Lost Crown looks great for example, but Ubisoft are trying to force people to use their service by not offering it on Steam.

Personally I don’t really mind not ‘owning’ the game in most cases. 9 times out of 10, I’ll play a game and be done with it. Short, linear indie games for example are perfect for a Game Pass type model. What we don’t need is 10 similar subscriptions with their own exclusives.

Sorry to hear that, that’s crap behaviour from the staff - particularly for an independent place. Can I ask how old the staff were?

To do it to your face as well is just insulting. And the manager’s response really isn’t that great - asking you to come in for the apology just feels so awkward. Personally I’d say fuck that place and avoid it in future, it’s not worth your custom if that’s how they treat customers.
