Re: Poll: PS5 Fans, Are You Sold on the Nintendo Switch 2?

No, I have zero interest to even look into this or watch the show. I respect the Nintendo of these days, I hear nothing but praise from their target audience, but I’m not it. Feels too arcade for me, just give me the more serious gaming experiences on my Pro.

@ZeroSum Well, that’s just A definition. The first hit I get is this one: “A killer app or system seller is a game that makes a consumer want to purchase a console primarily for that game. It can be because of a significant leap forward in graphics or because a game offers something unique, never seen before, critical acclaim, or appeals to an entirely new audience.”

This definition describes the case at hand pretty well.

What do people here have against the term system seller? The same reactions were given when PS called Starfield a system seller, while in fact that game almost was the definition of system seller.

As for Shadows: the Pro images/videos get lot of promotion currently and it already was a popular game. This naturally means more people will consider the Pro and some will actually buy it. That’s what a system seller is, folks.

Since I was considering to sell my PS VR2 because I don’t play it very often I decided to give it one more test and fired up Gran Turismo 7. Holy *****! I never experienced anything so real before. The total immersion of being IN the actual car, looking around to check your mirrors and seeing all the interior makes racing so real. The side to side action on tracks is literally heart racing.

Mixing this up with some Resident Evil Village (non-VR) and F1 24 on my Pro.

Edit: Wow, the word sh*t is forbidden? Feels like I’m at my grandma’s again 😅

Re: Video: PS5 Pro vs PS5 - Assassin's Creed Shadows Stuns on Sony's Hardware

@Toot1st Hard to make claims like this without actually viewing the differences on a television suited to benefit from the Pro. So many people (I’m not addressing this to you) are giving opinions on Pro images from most probably their smartphone while the difference on a good television is night and day. All these comparison videos tell me very little.

Re: Ex-Xbox System Seller Starfield Edges Ever Closer to PS5

Most definitely a system seller. I literally bought my first Xbox (Series X) solely for this game two years ago and many others did the same.

Traded in my Series X and PS5 for a PS5 Pro in the meantime, but would absolutely love to play it again. Especially on the dualsense. I put in over 250 hours already, but was nowhere near discovering all planets and haven’t played the DLC.

@SoulChimera Not necessarily. FH5 was the first game in the series I played and I was quite bored actually. It’s good to know beforehand that it’s VERY arcade in setup and handling. If that’s your thing, you’ll probably have a great time with it.

Re: 12 Great PS5, PS4 Games At Their Lowest Ever Prices This Weekend

@AK4tywill Same. I even had two consoles, both with insurmountable backlogs and it made me so stressed. I sold both my PS5 and Series X, bought a Pro and enjoying it so much more now. Games I bought that seem like a drag (complete Mass Effect and Stalker trilogies) I deleted and may or may not play them in the future. Instead I’m just enjoying some recent AAA games now.

And even now I know this works best for me, I’m still constantly tempted to buy all sorts of games. That’s just life of a HSP-HSS I guess 😅
