Right, so I'm going to preface this by saying that today I thought I would be creative and write up something about the Destiny Beta from a few months ago. That said, when I returned home today to check all my internet check-y things, I found that yet again, I've been fucked by Sony.
So that may have come off as a bit extreme, but these guys are really getting to me. So I come home to see if the new DLC for Dark Souls 2, 'Crown of the Old Iron King', is on PSN, you know, because its on Steam and XLBA like it should be as the release date was the 26th of August. Yet again, I find that it isn't there, like last time when I wanted to buy 'Crown of the Sunken King'. Now, I don't know about you guys, but this really pisses me off.
Something about the way that it seems that Sony really doesn't care about their user base buying DLC on the day it is released really fucks with me. This is a whole section of their massive business who's only job it so make sure that things are up and available for people to buy, and yet last time I had to wait two days for it. It bothers me even more when I read on Reddit that people in not only the US, but also Japan have this game already and I don't, considering I live in the same time zone as the Japanese. I know that this may seem a bit rash, "Come on Will, it's only two days", but this is really annoying to me. If I buy a game for your platform (considering I have both) because your platform seems better for the game, then actively support the damn game. I mainly bought a PS3 to play Demon's Souls, and I continue to buy Souls games for the PS3 because you seem to want to support FromSoftware and actually care about these games. Clearly I was mistaken.
Now a lot of you might be thinking this is a bit far, it is only 2 days. But may I remind you that this DLC is already out on the Xbox and on Steam. If I had known Sony would be a bitch about this, I would have bought Dark Souls 2 on Xbox because at least Microsoft seem to have their shit together when it comes to supporting DLC and arcade releases; they are out when they are supposed to be. Come on Sony, FromSoftware had a release date for this game and I'm certain you had the upload files before the 26th, so why does it take you so long to get it up for all of us who play the game. I'm sure people will be playing Dark Souls 2 long after Destiny, which you seem to be advertising on your front page like a Motherfucker, has faded into obscurity.
IF you are trying to run a business, the least you could do is support your products. Playstation support always seems to be active when ever I have a problem, maybe it's because you don't seem to be able have a product that works properly. Every single time I have gone to buy something on the PSN store I have had a problem, every single time. Just please, fix your product, it's driving me fucking insane. I'm like a housewife who suspects her husband is cheating just because he is late from working, checking her phone and the clock just to make sure he hasn't called, and Googling his name and shit like that. I don't want to spend all night refreshing your damn website so that I know when the damn DLC is live, goddamn it Sony!
So that was all a bit weird, especially for a first post, but hopefully for any of you who are feeling my pain, you can relate, and for all of you who are trying to find where the new Dark Souls 2 DLC is, I hope this has been informative. In short, Sony are pretty useless sometimes.
Note: If you do actually work for Sony, please tell me why the problem seems to exist, I would love to know. Hell, I could even write you a script that would let you auto-update your website for specific locations so that this won't happen. Also, you can't sue, coz this a review.
