The current Sony online store has no means of filtering, sorting, showing what you own, or really any features.

There is technically a search bar, but it doesn't respect anything like quotes or minus, and just dumps anything that even sort of matches your query on you in a big unsorted, unfiltered mess. So if you search for like "metal gear solid" you get pages and pages of Guilty Gear Character Voice Pack 3 and Guitar Hero Legends of Metal Song Pack 17 and poo poo.

It's...fascinatingly bad.






Edit: For clarity, they used to have these features. They actively chose to get rid of them.

Stadia launched in 2019, and I am surprised it is still around. It has almost no games on it, it gets no new games, and most of the Stadia team at Google have moved to other teams or been laid off. Its down to a skeleton crew of people who get really upset on Twitter on about Twitch streamers.

Yeah Sony's store is bafflingly bad

At least they pushed back the PS3 and Vita store closings to some indeterminate date instead of just pulling the plug while they thought nobody was looking


It's still got me thinking about how many little games from the last 10 years will be lost whenever whatever exclusive online storefront they were on gets the axe- feel like it's not as much of a problem right now due to so many smaller games getting a PC release and the big exclusives being re-released twelve times with slightly uprezzed graphics.

that thread has been a wild fuckin ride.

early on this guy started popping in to defend Stadia with the wildest rear end takes. cue 20 pages of "what the gently caress is wrong with you, hostile apostle?" until some intrepid goon figures out it's literally a google employee lmfao.

david cage is a fart fetishist and all of the sex scenes in his games have secret alternate versions where she farts in his face a whole bunch. they're really hard to unlock so you probably didn't see them.

Do you remember how weird the Stadia launch was where you could preorder a founder's system that would be released months before the system actually launched? It's like they were racing to have something in people's hands before... I don't even know what they were racing against, Google execs losing interest and cancelling the whole thing?

I think the optimal case for Stadia was to provide a way to play next gen games without needing to buy a $500 console. But you don't need Stadia if you've bought one. So they were racing the next-gen console launches last fall.

It's a staggeringly bad statement about Stadia that half a year into the new gen, you still can't find a console without paying double to a scalper on ebay, and somehow google can't make the idea of 'pay us $60 and play your next gen game right now with no new hardware and no download required' into a tantalizing alternative. People would genuinely rather spend weeks or months slamming the refresh button on retailer stores to pay $500+ for a new console than just... make a stadia account and start playing.

I don't know if it's GOOD, but they have Orcs Must Die 3 exclusively for now. I'm at least curious based on how much fun I had on the first two... christ, a decade ago?

there are like four exclusives but nothing particularly good or notable. the one you might have heard of is orcs must die 3. there's also some sort of game creation system called "crayta" that nobody is using

There actually was a limited time beta version of that Humankind 4X game on Stadia, and I thought that was a really good use of the platform. I would never actually play a game like that , it looked like a 720p YouTube video blown up to full screen, but it was nice to quickly check out the game and realize I never want to play it again.

That's fine. Honestly I don't think they've ever been particularly funny in video games, even when I was a kid and eager for more of that easy peasy toilet humor.
