@Discol76 They're related but different. FPS is the number of frames of animation that are being rendered per second by your system or console. HZ is the number of times your monitor or TV refreshes the image on the screen per second. If a game is running at 30fps then that means your PlayStation is rendering 30 images of the game per second. If your monitor or TV is 60hz then that means your monitor can refresh its image 60 times per second; so, if your PlayStation is rendering a game at 120fps and your screen is 60hz then you'll only see a 60fps image with about every other frame of animation not appearing on your screen.
That doesn't mean you need to run out and buy a 4k 120hz monitor, though. That's probably overkill in most instances and it may not even meet your wants or needs. Most systems (and even high-end PCs) can't consistently hit 4k 120fps, let alone 4k 60fps. If you value a high frame rate, go with something with a high refresh rate. If you value image quality, go with 4k. For myself, I don't really care that much about anything above 60fps, but I love high resolution and color accuracy, so I went with a 4k 60hz color-accurate IPS monitor.
I wouldn't be surprised if this got the Horizon Forbidden West treatment where more visual features are added after launch. Sony's 1st party games have been pretty good about this.
I got this on Steam last year. To call this game just a "deck-building roguelike" is a painful understatement. It's amazing in every way. The more blind you walk into this game the better. It's worth every penny.
Full confession, I bought the Lost Legacy upgrade and got a free ticket to see this movie in theaters... and I never went. Hahaha! The movie looked so average to me. I kept thinking, "Why would I see a mediocre movie version of fantastic games that I already own?"
I couldn't care less for mobile games, but if the 20% of Sony's mobile market helps pay for the exorbitant cost of the 80% of console and PC releases then I'm down for this.
To my memory, I don't remember a console this good struggling this hard to get off of the ground. COVID threw an unprecedented wrench into its launch and who knows when this stock shortage will finally end. If it's any consolation, a couple of my friends have seen GPUs in stock and on the shelves at a few stores in the past couple of weeks, so there might actually be a light at the end of this stock shortage tunnel, but we're probably still a ways out.
Celeste and Super Meat Boy are about as far as I can go into "trial and error" territory. I even dipped out of Hollow Knight partway through because it got frustrating and (I'm going to get so much crap for saying this) boring. The older I get the less time I have to devote to games where their shtick is "get good." Sometimes I can't devote the time and energy to get good, nor am I willing to pay money for an experience like that.
Okay, but really though, what on earth is going on at Square Enix right now? This is, like, their third or fourth failed game this year... and it's only April.
I love the Duelsense controller and I would say it is one of the best controllers that I've ever used, but that d-pad is just terrible. BUT! I just modded my duelselse with these:
I think it's hilarious that 34% are interested in playing this and 37% never thought the chaos memes were funny. Those are pretty close numbers. Haha!!
This happened to me. I had to call PlayStation's customer support so I could get a refund so I could still purchase the upgrade path for PS5. That was kind of annoying.
Unpopular opinion, is it wrong if I'm not a huge fan of this art direction? The combination of pixel art with detailed 3D style background feels like it's clashing to me.
@Jacko11 I used to think gyro was stupid... but then I tried it. It's insanely more accurate than just using the thumb sticks and there's really no going back once you adapt to it.
@Ralizah Are you still looking to get a PS5? I have a tip for getting one if you're interested. To get my PS5, I used an app called HotStock. It pings your phone when an item goes in stock. It's still hard to find a PS5 with the app, but I managed to get one using the app, so it definitely works.
@Mega-Gazz It's a little tricky to find. You have to do it on the console. Pop in the disc, go to the PS Store on the console, and the option will be available.
@Styledvinny79 Have you watched Digital Foundry's video on this upgrade? It's definitely more than just an upres of the PS4 games. $10 is a small asking price for making a game of this caliber a native PS5 game. Watch Dog's time and money isn't free.
I...... don't care? Can I say that? I feel like this going to be an issue for people that really care about 100%-ing games... but I just want a game that looks pretty to look prettier.
It kind of bugs me when people hop on here and say, "Oh well. I didn't play CoD anyway." You don't understand. This could honestly be the beginning of the end of the console wars, and Microsoft is looking to become the final winner. Sony really may become solely a software developer and only release their games on PC. There's no competition when one company owns them all. This sucks so much. I wouldn't be surprised if PS5 was the last PlayStation-made console.
I don't play any of the CoD games, but this is going to have huge repercussions if this deal isn't blocked by the courts. CoD has almost always been one of the best-selling franchises on PS consoles. This could be a huge hit to Sony's pockets if Microsoft makes CoD and Xbox exclusive. I don't see why they wouldn't.
This is the strongest selection of games in months. If someone isn't happy with this selection, then PS Plus probably isn't for you and you should most likely just unsubscribe.

Re: Xbox Appeared to Embargo PS5, PS4 Versions of Some Showcase Games
I wonder how much money Microsoft paid to make Atlus look tone-deaf for 48 hours?
Re: Poll: Will You Buy The Last of Us: Part I?
I wish there was an upgrade path like the Uncharted games. I can't justify spending $70 for a game I already own, even if it is my favorite game.
Re: The Last of Us: Part I PS5 Trailer Gives Us Our First Taste of Naughty Dog's Remake
@Rooty1985 That's a shame. I'm hoping that there's an upgrade path like what they did with Uncharted 4 & Lost Legacy.
Re: The Last of Us: Part I PS5 Trailer Gives Us Our First Taste of Naughty Dog's Remake
I'm beyond thrilled for this. My only question now is pricing.
Re: Rumour: God of War Ragnarok Delayed into 2023, Say European Sources
At this point, I just assume all games will be delayed. I don't even care anymore.
Re: Resident Evil 2, 3, and 7 PS5 Versions Probably Out Next Week
You know, all things considered, these game files are really small. My hat goes off to Capcom for created such optimized games.
Re: Rumour: PS Plus Games for June 2022 Might Have Leaked
If this is true, that's a really shame. I wish Sony wouldn't include so many games with PS+ that are already included in the PS+ Collection on PS5.

Re: Fortnite Gets Even Better with Gyro Controls on PS5, PS4
I don't even play Fortnite, but this is amazing. Gyro aiming is incredible and it really should become the standard for consoles.
Re: Horizon Forbidden West Has Gyro Aiming, Many Accessibility Options
