Websites still broken for me. It loads now, but all the pictures that are supposed to show games are broken for me.
 
2024_WRAP-UP.jpg


My top 5 (lol and the last two were just me doing the DLC):
1. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth - 155 hours
2. Tsukihime -A piece of blue glass moon- - 41 hours
3: Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon - 32 hours
4. Fate/Samurai Remnant - 18 hours
5. Final Fantasy XVI - 14 hours
 
45 hours in FF7 Rebirth (should have shaved off 10 of those for a better overall experience)

12 hours in Astrobot.
2 hours in Odin Sphere

59 hours.

Clean and easy summary.
 
Mines brilliant this year.

Yeah I get the Soony™ message too. But I already know Astro Bot will top it and the total hours will be like 40 hours. Unless they include Blu-ray movie time as well, I used it as my Blu-ray player this year until just now when Pro disc drive got delayed so I had to buy a dedicated player.

Edit: Was 39 hours. Close enough!
Astro Bot as #1.

Still not up for me...Why send me an email Sony if you can't manage something as simple as this....after a day already.

Hopefully it's sooner rather than later that they can find someone in this entire company who knows wtf they are doing. Hulst must be scratching his balls with his simp Aloy toy collection at this time.
 
If only Sony were the market leader, with enough resources to ensure the smooth execution of promoted events...
Is there perhaps a donation fund to support small indie studios like this one, overwhelmed by the relentless pressure of the internet?

Seems like Sony miscalculated the expected traffic load and their servers couldn't handle it. Should've implemented a ticket queue system.

This is what happen when big companies want to unify everything in a single server and same country under the pretext of cost savings.
Pretty sure this shit working if they are more server depending the region

I think Sony is just going through their arrogant phase again, record numbers here, profits there, competition almost nonexistent. They simply don't give a fuck about their customers anymore and apparently don't have to, since everyone is celebrating getting screwed by them. You could also see that with the release of the 30th anniversary edition. Sony doesn't care who gets one, when, or how; there's no clear communication with the 'fans,' who are supposedly so important to them, and no improvement since the PS5 release. Then there's the situation with the scarce disc-drives, which Sony 'accidentally' benefits from. Who wouldn't want to play the latest games on their console under the christmas tree? Unfortunately, physically only next year, but hey, you can already buy digital games now. You just can't make this stuff up.
 
It seems success breeds incompetence within Sony. Anytime they are successful they turn into neanderthal level of thinking and task management.
That's definitely part of it, but I have always gotten the impression that PSN and the PS Store is held together with duct tape and that's probably part of the issue. I think they can make websites fine. What they likely need to do is scrap the entire PS Store and modernize it from the ground up and find a way to transfer all those billions of recorded purchases over.

I think that was one of the reasons behind their decision to close the PS Store for PS3, but people rightfully got mad about it, so they had to walk that decision back and keep it open. I feel like a refactoring of the PSN backend must be the top priority for their PSN team, but they need to ditch all the legacy stuff holding them back first to make it work.
 
Damn almost 10 hours of play time per day wtf, do you guys leave your PS5 turned on or really play that much :O

I mean...They can barely work out a site,asking them to transfer the entire store to a new one is a tad much for their capabilities, It's not like we are talking about the market leader here with billions of dollars of resources at their disposal 😂

In all seriousness you'd think after losing user data during one of the biggest hacks in the gaming industry in 2011 that it would make every aspect of their networking as solid as a rock just out of pure principle of not looking that weak ever again yet they somehow employ such personel that they can't figure out a fucking website after a full day and a half.
 
Still getting the "We'll be back Soony" thing. Too bad, I wanted to despair seeing how many thousand hours I spent playing shitty games this year.

I get people are rightfully annoyed by this wrap-up situation, but database migration is a seriously huge and complex undertaking. Its not something that's managed over night or just talk about "plugging a cable into a different socket".

You're probably right about some of this. The multi platform POS management gotta be a nightmare to maintain though.
