@BleedingDreamer RDR1 never got FPS Boost, there was even a big article on Pure Xbox lamenting that after the PS4 release was largely mocked prior to the PS5 patch. I used to have a Series X and a physical copy of the 360 version, you can’t trick me!
@OldGamer999 On the bright side, you can experience crystal clear, smooth panning in 60fps on your Switch 2 and Series X (assuming you haven’t sold them)!
I have next to no experience with Western RPGs. My impression of this game and the first one from research and reviews is that they won’t be weird or over-the-top enough for me. I’m curious but hesitant…
@Lanmanna There are thousands of ways things can go wrong with PC hardware and software, especially when people are buying their own components. Of course consoles can have issues, too, especially the older ones like PS3 and Xbox 360, but modern ones have been quite reliable.
@CutchuSlow Yes, SteamOS is certainly a more streamlined experience than the spyware masquerading as an OS known as Windows 11. I'm guessing it'll be $1,200.
Still PLENTY of BS in PC world, though! Motherboards frying CPUs, melting GPU power connectors, AIOs clogging, kernel-level anti-cheat, RAM shortage courtesy of the AI gold rush, Windows updates bricking SSDs, and etc.
Fell in love with the demo and have put nearly 4 hours into it. Will definitely be picking up the full game soon! Hopefully this success leads to an Electronic Symphony rerelease?!
@HotGoomba Even then, the disc or cartridge is just a licensed method of accessing the game. We don’t own the files, source code, assets, engines, IP, etc.
Wait until everyone realizes that physical discs are just licenses to access a game as well. We don’t own the IP or source code, just a way to access them.
I applaud the effort to keep the original experiences intact, imperfections (by modern standards) and all. They’re already working on the input lag issues so it’s just a matter of patience.

Re: Poll: Does the Steam Machine Pose a Threat to PS5?
@KawakiisaFraud Are they? And even if they do, as long as I can play the games I want on a Sony console, I’ll be fine.
Re: Poll: Does the Steam Machine Pose a Threat to PS5?
@KawakiisaFraud I’m never going to PC no matter what happens. If consoles go away, so do I.
Re: Poll: Does the Steam Machine Pose a Threat to PS5?
@Cjam36 Pretty much. Small form-factor/home theater PCs have been a thing for years. SteamOS can be downloaded and installed by anyone, as well.
Re: Poll: Does the Steam Machine Pose a Threat to PS5?
@Oram77 Definitely the worst “console” controller I’ve ever seen. Can’t imagine trying to use that…
Re: Poll: Does the Steam Machine Pose a Threat to PS5?
No point in it for me, but I’m sure it will sell. Not worried about it coming anywhere near PS5’s sales, though.
Re: 'We'd Love to Do It': Sounds Like NCSOFT Wants Horizon Steel Frontiers on PS5 as Much as You

@OldGamer999 I hope you feel better soon.

Re: Red Dead Redemption 1 Confirmed for PS5, Out 2nd December
@StitchJones Yes I did, got it during a GameStop buy 2 get 1 free sale
Re: Red Dead Redemption 1 Confirmed for PS5, Out 2nd December
@StitchJones How does a free upgrade constitute a cash-grab?
Re: Red Dead Redemption 1 Confirmed for PS5, Out 2nd December
@windxtravelerx Playing natively on PS5 is usually always preferable to back-compatibility.
Re: Red Dead Redemption 1 Confirmed for PS5, Out 2nd December
Free upgrades for the win!

Re: PS5 Is the Second Fastest Selling PlayStation Ever in the US, Despite Price Hikes and Production Issues
@Porco Yes, poll the site that largely despises Sony and the PS5 and of course you'd get a negative result!

Re: PS5 Is the Second Fastest Selling PlayStation Ever in the US, Despite Price Hikes and Production Issues
@cainhurst94 Oh.... oh no! Well, maybe SteamOS will be more efficient with that than Windows?
Re: PS5 Is the Second Fastest Selling PlayStation Ever in the US, Despite Price Hikes and Production Issues
@Oram77 I saw that on NintendoLife. Controller looks horrible...
Re: PS5 Is the Second Fastest Selling PlayStation Ever in the US, Despite Price Hikes and Production Issues
@GamingGod The cope over there can get insane. PS5 on its own has outsold every Xbox console ever made.
Re: PS5 Is the Second Fastest Selling PlayStation Ever in the US, Despite Price Hikes and Production Issues
@MamaSymphonia The point of consoles is to avoid PC-BS. But if that doesn’t bother you, go right ahead!
Re: PS5 Is the Second Fastest Selling PlayStation Ever in the US, Despite Price Hikes and Production Issues
@Rich33 I completely agree. I try to focus on finding and playing cool games rather than whinging every day.
Re: Bonkers PS5 RPG Showa American Story Has to Wait Until 2026
Had my eye on this ever since it was announced.
Re: Highly Anticipated RPG Remake Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter Confirmed for 2026 Release
Can’t have a part 1 without part 2, right? I’m sure that’s the law somewhere.
Re: Highly Rated Open World RPG Wandering Sword Journeys to PS5 in February

Re: Round Up: What Was Announced in Sony's State of Play Livestream for November 2025?
@Lizuka Really?! Wow, and that wasn't even mentioned in the article. Takes the whole show up a few notches for me.

Still buttery smooth, though!

Re: State of Play Announced for 11th November, Focus on Japanese PS5 Games
Japanese games are why I chose the PlayStation ecosystem to begin with. Looking forward to this! ^_^
Re: GTA 6 Delayed Again, Pushed Back to November 2026
Good, gives me extra time to play the previous 5!
Re: PS5 Indie Games from PlayStation's Hero Projects Are Getting Seriously Impressive
I’m a sucker for these kind of platformers with really good artwork. I feel like a lot of cool games have come from this initiative so far!
Re: Poll: Is PS Portal the Biggest Surprise Hit of the PS5 Generation?
@BAMozzy I’ve read that a lot of ‘parents’ use the ‘Portal’ when their ‘children’ and/or ‘partner’ is using the ‘TV.’
Re: Poll: Is PS Portal the Biggest Surprise Hit of the PS5 Generation?
@BAMozzy $199.99 vs. $999.99
Anyway, I think this would be nice for visual novels or retro games since there's no remote play with Vita anymore.

Re: ARCADIA Is an Attempt to Revive MindsEye with User-Made Custom Experiences
I noticed that 13GB update and excitedly googled it. Not the performance or content update I was hoping for, but I’ll try it out.
I platinumed the game and really enjoyed my experience.

Re: Dino Hunting Classic Turok 2 Gets an Upgraded PS5 Version
Free upgrade for those who already have it like with the first game?
Edit: Yes it is! Just checked the store website.
Re: Poll: Do You Play Horror Games Around Halloween?
@Romans12 That’s another top-tier one. Love its approach to combat.
Re: Poll: Do You Play Horror Games Around Halloween?
@Dalamar Only game so far to legitimately freak me out and give me night terrors!
I’d say that from this poll, F.E.A.R. is a peak horror franchise. Same for its spiritual successor Trepang2
