Control has been mentioned, I must therefore tell you all how awesome it is.
It is awesome.
Quantum Break is less awesome, but still awesome.

Quantum Break had one of the worst final boss battles I've had the misfortune of playing.

Control is superb, but my enjoyment of it was definitely affected by its (piss-poor) performance on a base PS4.
I went back to finish up a few missions after I'd got my PS5 - still playing the PS4 version, just to be clear - and it ran an awful lot better on the newer hardware.

A shit boss fight and a difficult boss fight are 2 different things though.

Yes, it was badly designed as opposed to being difficult when the game hadn't set such a precedent. I feel boss fights have had their day in CERTAIN genre of games because they're almost universally shit.

Quantum Break had one of the worst final boss battles I've had the misfortune of playing. I actually found the final boss fight unplayable as someone with red/green colour blindness. I couldn't see the indicator that was meant to show you when an insta kill move was about to happen. Think I just gave up and looked up the ending on YouTube. The rest the game was just okay and not a patch on other games from Remedy. Even on a fairly powerful PC, it didn't feel smooth at all to play.

My god this thing is a chonk. Got a PS2 slim sat next to it and I reckon it's easily 10x the volume.

Laptops or Mac Minis maybe. Any standard PC towers are bigger in overall volume.

Wider maybe, but it's about comparable in height to a mid-tower and much larger than a mini-iTX.

My first pc of a P2 350 with 128mb ram would probably house around 2 of those Chonks.

Its gargantuan size has its upsides, I find - for instance, when I was stuck on Malenia late last week, the only thing stopping me from throwing my PS5 through the nearest window was my fear that I'd put my back out lifting the bloody chonk.

Very frustrating to see Ratchet & Clank hit the PS Store discounts after buying it last week. Can a refund for the difference be requested from PS if a discount happens within 7 days of a digital purchase?
If so, what's the method?

Years ago I bought a game on PSN that was discounted the very next day. I sent them an email and they basically told me to go fuck myself.

I recommend using psprices and setting up alerts for any games you fancy, first party stuff goes on sale all the time , no point paying full price unless you’re desperate/at launch.

Haha, yeah. PS support and any kind of refunds are never going to happen. Surprised they haven't been taken to task for how bloody hard they make it.

Because we were talking about it, I fired up Control for 30 mins before I went out this morning.
I can feel the draw of another playthrough looming.

I though the refund situ wouldn't be an easy one but have sent an e-mail to support anyway..

Well, looks like it's just me that bounced off it this hard then. ;-) Nope, not the only one. Still haven't gotten past the first area and haven't played in ages.

May not help but Iknow you can get a refund from PS Store on the whole purchase but only if you haven't downloaded it, managed to do that when I bought Control in a sale a week before it appeared on PS Plus. Can't remember if it has to be within 10 or 14 days or something like that.

Oh, a "technical error" was it...

I forgot about this, but my PS5 crashed updating Fifa 22 last week and I had to restore it from a file downloaded from the internet. Full factory reset.
It was pretty quick to do and it seems fine now, but it's a bit worrying that the entire operating system can be compromised to that extent by updating an application.
Perhaps it's running on Windows 95?

They've definitely been having a lot of these technical errors of late.

I can see that being a legit technical error. I'm a software developer of sorts and depending on how the database stores the history then a simple fuck up of using the wrong field in the formula could point to RRP instead of ActualPaid and thus giving wrong price.
Easy to do for a newbie.
Should it have happened? Absolutely not. It's a terrible mistake to make and shows fuck all testing occurred. But doing it intentionally then having a change of heart and fixing it all in one day seems less likely than the accidental error I believe it to be.

The other read is that it was a calculated experiment with a roll forward plan if someone called them on their bullshit. Wouldn’t put that past any of the platform holders tbf.
