HGLatinBoy Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Web Store - Latest STORE.PLAYSTATION.COM So now its a pain in the ass to look at games and check tabs for sales PS plus deals and free games. And worse of all they dropped support for PS3, PSP, and VITA purchases. Seriously, how much of an effort is it to keep PS3 games on there. And you can't even check your old purchase as well. Sony arrogance rearing its ugly head again. Fuck you sony 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xbob42 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 I clicked on it, and all I learned is that Fifa 21 is out. There wasn't anything else to see without scrolling or clicking through menus. So I closed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Vic20 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 I don't like it, but then again I don't like the big, empty, clean, guided designs of most modern websites. They want to tell their story, their way, and customer service is always the last factor of design. Still, retool is no worse than the rest of the landscape's marketing fever dream.

TheLeon Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 About the only thing I use the web store for is to claim PS+ titles that I'll ultimately never play, and that is definitely harder. As far as I can tell, you have to look up the games for the month, then search for them individually in the store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, you'd have to be pretty stupid to not be able to find a game you're looking for on a website where you can just type what game you want. What about browsing games? That's always what I spend the most time in a store doing, since obviously if I know what game I'm after it could be the worst site in the world as long as the search function works. Just clicking around shows giant banners with tons of empty space, making it really inefficient and unpleasant to just casually browse titles. An absolutely tremendous amount of empty space for no discernible reason. I don't think it's the worst storefront site I've ever seen, but I think Sony usually does a better job of keeping it at least relatively tight so you get lots of info on your screen. They've had a thing for big banners for the past decade or so, but this is a little silly. Main page, literally just one game: Scrolling down, a few more titles Clicking "Games -> PS5" two awkwardly placed banners Scrolling down... a giant video Scrolling down, giant banners for two games at a time per screen It's so chunky and clunky. I honestly thought it was just a pre-launch sort of thing until the real PS5 store launches, but the PS4 store, while showing many more games at once, still seems weirdly empty? I was looking for a way to just... browse games. But the only option was scrolling all the way down and finding this weird "scroll more" button that you have to keep clicking over and over to show a few more games??

SimpleG Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 I love the fact you can go Games, PS3 Games, choose Buy Download and it just redirects to main page. It dumb enough that they remove the option to buy from the web store but if your gonna do it why not just remove the button to buy the download. They cant just be shitty but they gotta be lazy as well. 1 hour ago, ManUtdRedDevils said: And you still can’t gift.

cusideabelincoln Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 It loads slower and looks like trash, but at least they made it simpler to get the PS+ games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heydude93 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 The only awkwardness I noticed is there's both a featured and must play tab. Why not merge the two? Aside from that and how abstruse finding new demos is, it seems fine to me so far. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I laughed this morning when I went to Services -> PS Plus, and it shows the games included this month. There's a button that says "get the games", but that just kept pulling up the same page and telling me to join PS Plus (I was logged in with my account that has it).

This is exactly what prompted me to make this thread. The website is awful to navigate and is bugged and won't let me get the games. I usually log-in from pc and make sure to get the games for me and my GF and also queue up the download.
