Thought I'd create a thread where random issues can be discussed and topics that don't require a whole dedicated thread.

If there is such a thread let me know and we can delete this one.
 
So to start off. Is the South African PS Store more expensive than other countries?
R129 for Bubble Bobble, Bubble Bobble 4 - R749. For old arcade games.

Random issue - I think you were the one who created that aliens hybrid demons thread?

So, do you/would you play Diablo?
 
Which FPS shooters do people in SA play? I jam a bit of COD and I'm assuming people are playing counterstrike and battlefield... any others? Do guys play Valorant locally?

For a game simply titled Devil, I'll probably give that one a miss....

More to do with my Christian faith than some alien topic.

But your Christian faith is what led you to believing aliens being hybrids made by demons, not so?

The Doom series would be a wonderful blend for you.

Let's keep this a games sub-forum and leave the aliens and religious stuff for Off-topic.
And yes, I don't play Doom either. It's just a choice I made.

If you think about it, Doom is a christian game. You're literally killing demons
 
Been meaning to ask - when you install a game and the game itself is finished installing, it then sometimes offers you the option to download additional software if you want online features, but if you don't want those features you can choose not download.

Does this mean for trophies and syncing online as well, or is it just for online multiplayer and so on.

Because the download size for Gran Turismo 7's online feature is something like 117GB! Luckily I have a 1TB drive but it still takes up a lot of space when you down load the online feature for all the games. If I just choose to install it for certain games I could probably fit all my games on the 1TB drive and still use a 500GB drive that I have lying around to fully back up everything.

Some games yes you can avoid online content, but it sounds like you are connected to the psn already so it’ll automatically update games.

Some can range from paid content to normal game updates and bug fixes.

Edit: as an example mk11 ultimate on your list has the full game and expansions, skins, extras etc which will automatically download when you install.

Installed so many yesterday and today I can't remember which ones had the online features download.

But with Gran Turismo 7 it had the data and play disc which both installed, but then an additional huge download for online features.

Yeah GT7 is massive, but still the best race simulation ever.

You can also plug an external hd / ssd into the usb to extend space.

You running on the ps4 ?
