I’ve noticed some weird images in GT7 on my PS5 Pro when PSSR is on, particularly when looking at cars in your garage as they spin and pan slowly. Some areas get really messy looking. Perhaps this is the AI getting confused with how to present certain shiny bits, or heavily meshed pieces.

I’m in agreement with the sentiment that BluePoint is of greater value than Bungie at this point in time.

RIP Marathon. Join your fellow live service family games and we’ll remember you like Concord.

Starfield is the game that I pre-ordered and bought a Xbox Series X to play it on since I don’t own a gaming PC. While I didn’t hate the game, actually liked some of it quite well, it did get repetitive seeing the exact same enemy base on different planets. Or the wide open nothing on some planets. I was expecting more of the dynamic magic that seems to pop up around every corner when you first play Skyrim. Instead it was a lot of loading screens. I’m not ruling out playing it on PS5, now that my Xbox is mostly a paperweight.

I just don’t see how a PS6 could improve meaningfully enough over a PS5 Pro at this point in time. Sure, it could improve load times a bit more, possibly make native 4K/60 the baseline, and marginally improve ray tracing. That seems like less of a leap from PS4 to PS5. Maybe we can get more from the system if we wait to see what competitors launch in the next year.

Not to be a downer, but it feels like at least one more very brightly neon colored shooter will complete this trifecta soon. Then we can all move on from the shooter live service dream that never was, aside from HD2.

Delay it. Seems like we’re still playing enhanced PS4 games on PS5 anyway. Let it cook. Improve the design even further, or at least give dev teams time to learn how to make use of the hardware with the extra time. We simply don’t need a PS6 for at least a few years until it can offer native 4K/60 in standard mode, and maybe upscaling for 120fps on supported televisions, like my OLED.

The first Kena felt like classic style Zelda in spirit. Hopefully the sequel is just as amazing.

Still no Lei Wulong…

I’m currently 130+ hours into KCD2, focusing on completing almost all of the objectives before continuing with the main quest. The big city is quite impressive for a first person RPG.

Lei is (Wu)long overdue.

My PS5 Pro is good enough for at least 2-5 more years. Software still seems like it needs to catch up. Sony, take your time on PS6.

I’m so looking forward to cosmetic options for the protagonist. Hairstyles would be my first DLC purchase.

After dumping 100 hours into Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, and still many more to come, I can’t understand why Bethesda can’t make better games these days.

Anthem looked amazing at the reveal trailer. I thought it was going to be an open world Iron Man kind of game, similar to Spider Man.

I’m currently playing KCD2 (finally) and loving it, but DQ7 is definitely on my 2026 must-play list. Perhaps I’ll be ready by Spring, although I’ll certainly get the demo.

I’m totally fine with my PS5 Pro well into 2028 or longer.

I’m getting started in KCD2. At first it was a bit rough being poor without 2 coins to rub together for bread, but it’s getting better now that I have learned how to earn money and skill up. I still haven’t found my dog. He’s out there somewhere!

It sounds like the team at Sandfall are genuine about the matter. AI was all the craze at the beginning, until we learned more about it, and most people started realizing that it is soulless trash.

Everyone, another thing to remember is watch the GT World Series races, either live or on demand through your GT7 dash. They are not only well-produced, but if you watch them in the time span allowed, you will get a pretty nice reward car.

Everyone make sure to log in every day leading up to Christmas. GT7 throws gifts at you.

Please give us hairstyle options in this game!

I bought a Series X just to play Starfield. A bad decision, but I own it.

Aside from the loading screens, one of the biggest problems is the repetitious caves and bases. You run into the same ones on every planet.

I finished the main story quest. Since I’m a solo player, the appeal of post game has never been there for me. Don’t think I have ever played multiplayer in Monster Hunter. I’m even the guy who plays WoW or Final Fantasy 14 solo 99% of the time.

That said, I may dip back into MHW soon to check it out.

I have tried several times to get started in Divinity Original Sin 2, usually making it to the first battle. The game seems good (music is great!) but something else in my backlog always takes precedence. That said, I claimed the free PS5 update. One of these days or years I will finally give the game a serious try.

I have played through Cyberpunk 2077 multiple times; male V, female V, Netrunner, gunslinger, katana-wielding ninja, bare fists… so many ways to play and things to experience. It’s my most played game of 2025 and 2024.

I'll circle back when PSVR2 support lands. The best PSVR2 games have you seated, such as GT7 and No Man's Sky. I imagine Flight Simulator is the perfect game for it.

I played whichever version was available on my Xbox Series X a couple years back. It’s fun to take off from the local airport in a helicopter and find your own house. It was a bit disappointing to see how mangled my neighborhood and house look while parked on the street.

This game has an appealing aesthetic from the trailer. I’ll keep it on my radar.

I loved Legend of Dragoon at the time. Back then PlayStation was still a bit thin on really good JRPGs compared to the 16 bit golden era of SNES and Sega. Looking back, the game was as clunky as most PS1 titles, so it would be difficult to return to, and the story which felt novel at the time may just feel like the typical anime series these days.

Dragon's Dogma 2 is one of my favorite experiences on my PS5 Pro. I bought the game months after release, and several patches later. The story was mid, but combat and exploration was great. To me, the game feels like what I imagined in my mind as a child when I played Final Fantasy 1 on the NES.

If you play around Christmas time, you can usually rack up a lot of credits and gift cars. If I recall correctly, the event starts around a week before Christmas. Just logging in and getting your 26 miles daily workout will gain money fast. 2,000,000 free credits would be nice, but it’s not a huge amount to fret over.

I'm interested and will now follow this game's development. Also, the accent and voice of the lady narrating is amazing.

Steam Machine poses a much more significant threat to Microsoft than to Sony or Nintendo. There seems to be a bigger PC crossover crowd with XBOX than the Japanese competition. I’m still very curious about the Steam Machine since I no longer have a Gaming PC. I also have a PS5 Pro and Nintendo Switch, so I’m not pinned down to one device or ecosystem.

I thought it was absolutely expectable.

@Hyrule_Herb Ghost of Tsushima is one of my all-time favorite PlayStation games, and open-world games in general. The historical bits made it so interesting, especially as a fan of the Mongols.

I really enjoyed playing as Jin. Hoping for more of his story in the coming years!

RDR2 is the first game from Rockstar that I purchased and played start to finish. It came to the scene just shortly after I had finally burned out on exploring every nook and cranny of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and I was pleasantly surprised by how much the games resembled each other in the best open world kind of way. RDR2 is on my all-time best games list.

Dynamic pricing would not surprise me. For instance, people who buy a lot of games may be targeted with higher prices because the algorithm guesses that they are more likely to pay anyway, whereas those who don’t buy many games may be shown lower prices to get them to make a purchase.

I would love a follow up to Tsushima. Jin’s story isn’t over.

Dragon Age: Veilguard was more exciting and I didn't even redeem that one.

It's cool, but I'm not opposed to the huge size of the PS5. My PS5 is quiet and the cooling solution has kept it from overheating. Not everything has to be sleek and tiny like my Apple Mac Mini.

Clair Obscur is definitely the best game of 2025 for me. It does so many things right.

I’ve always thought that a mech piloting game is one of the best use cases for PSVR 2. Too bad this game isn’t that.

I like the look more than Street Fighter.

I’m playing Dragon Quest 1 & 2 on PS5. The writers took the classic old English of the original Dragon Quest 1 to the next level. I’m enjoying the story so much, as simple as it is.

Will this game have cosmetic options, like hairstyles?

I don’t like AI at all. The art is bad, chat bots on websites are annoying, and everything about it is completely soulless. As a kid from the 80s / 90s, AI seemed cool when seeing a version of it in movies and TV shows. But the reality is that even those AIs were written and acted by real people.

Sounds like the Xbox will be more powerful than a console, but less powerful than typical gaming PCs, so I’m not sure who it will be for.

I enjoyed the Ninja Gaiden series on the NES when I was young and better at twitch reflexes. These new ones are too gory and the action doesn't appeal to me. I've turned into a old JRPG man.

My power bill has been between $6 and $10 per week lately, so I'm not too worried about using some energy.
