The ‘welcome hub’ update was pushed in the US first and I haven’t got yet - at this point I’m thinking about disabling updates until they sort this bullshit.
But I already got unsolicited news feed notification I haven’t subscribed to at least twice and they cannot be hidden. There was an ad for superbowl and whatever they were advertising (a streaming platform? Don’t remeber) wasn’t even available in my region (not that it being available would make this acceptable).
Another one is showing right now. An ad to pre-order Metro - game I don’t follow. It’s a feed from “PlayStation”.
Shit, are they pushing different things out in different regions? Here’s what the hub looks like for me:
And the news stuff appears like this now instead of just a small card below the play button and other elements at the bottom of the screen:
There were panels for news and upcoming/just released titles on the store originally by default for the hub, but you can just go to the pencil icon at the top and disable everything and there are also pre-sets.
How is dragons dogma, kola? I’ve been considering picking it up. I’ve been playing black myth wukong lately and it’s pretty awesome if you like souls likes.
It’s mostly the same as the first game, but it looks pretty at the cost of performance issues. I only just picked it up from the sale mentioned in the screenshot so not very deep into it yet. But I have noticed getting frustrated by many of the same things from the first game and it’s a bit disappointing in that regard. I especially don’t like how NPCs can initiate dialogue on their own. If I end up fighting near a road, some random dude walking by stops everything by talking to me as if I walked up to them and pressed O. Had a wandering pawn pull me off a cyclops with this crap.
Interesting. I’d welcome the welcome hub (pun intended) but not at the cost of ads. Disabled updates for now, will wait until friends in my region update their systems 😅
