The game pricing is insane and double what I pay for Switch 1 games. If there's no discounts to be found I'll end up only buying the mainline Nintendo games and everything else on PS5.
Metroid Prime is probably the only game I'd even consider at those inflated prices...
The graphical improvement in generations is so minor these days the PS5 may as well hang around until 2030-35 when some kind of meaningful improvement can be shown.
With Covid and long dev cycles I’m one of those that feels like this generation hasn’t even properly kicked off yet…
While I loved the world they made in Skyrim I couldn’t understand why people were so blown away with it. Found it shallow, monotonous and boring myself!
@termiki yeah I realise that. I played the old forzas and PGR on the OG Xbox and 360. It’s just I’m not massive on racing games so dirt and the crew will probably do for me unless the price of forza comes down so much I can’t refuse!

Re: Poll: PS5 Fans, Are You Sold on the Nintendo Switch 2?
Metroid Prime 4 at 4k 60fps (and mouse control) sold it for me. The Duskbloods and Donkey Kong also looked sweet!
I'm sure my PS5 will love having this as company sat next to it!
Re: Feature: Nintendo Switch 2 Direct - 5 Things for PS5 Fans to Pay Attention To
Looking forward to seeing more on switch 2. I’ve always gamed with a Nintendo/Playstation combo so this’ll sit nicely next to my PS5!
Re: Croc: Legend of the Gobbos (PS5) - Cult Favourite Platformer Returns in Robust Remaster
“this pioneering 3D title.”
Wasn’t this just one of many Mario 64 copycats trying to out-do the plumber after his sublime outing showed everyone how it was done?
Re: Poll: Vote for Your PS5 Game of the Month (March 2025)
Not bought any of those yet so no idea 😂
Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows a Big Sales Hit in US, Beaten Only By Monster Hunter Wilds
I wish we got actual unit numbers in sales data these days.
Re: Upcoming PS5 Games for April and May 2025
Lost Soul Aside could be a big one, I hope!
Re: Sony Reportedly Gearing Up to Sell You The Last of Us on PS5 One More Time

Re: Random: This Stellar Blade Super Fan Sleeps with Eve Every Night
I bet he’s made good use of photo mode 🤭

Love hearing of more single player games success these days!
Re: Over 70% of PS5 Fans Want Sony to License More of Its Dead Franchises Out
This would be amazing if they licensed Sly, Killzone, Jak, Gravity Rush etc!
Re: Analyst Firm Predicts Some Pretty Unimpressive Sales Numbers for Xbox Ports on PS5
@naruball you might be waiting a long time for real sales numbers.
MS don’t release them any more do they? We might get some crappy “engagement” numbers or something though.
Re: Tiny New Ghost of Yotei Details Have PS5 Owners Hyped
Tsushima looked incredible even being a cross gen title. Can’t wait to see this in motion!
Re: Don't Forget About the New Game from One of GTA's Most Important People
Could be interested, need to see more. Definitely got watch dogs vibes from it.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 574
Probably not much this weekend as I’m currently glued to severance on Apple tv.
Re: Kids Aren't Dreaming of Owning a PS6, Says Netflix Games Boss
I’m old. That means I want a console and a controller. Can these kids stop ruining my hobby please?! 😂
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Assassin's Creed Shadows?
It’s a shame they haven’t strayed too far from the usual Ubisoft open world formula.
The reason I like outlaws so much is partly because they mixed it up and added the reputation system.
Re: Sony's Live-Action The Legend of Zelda Movie Will Launch 26th March, 2027
Will look forward to this while also being slightly nervous…
Re: One of the Strangest Games Ever Made Appears to Be Coming to PS5, PS4
“Panty party perfect” with “underwear combat” man that’s made my day 🤣🤣🤣
Re: New Batman Game Appears to Be Targeting PS6
The graphical improvement in generations is so minor these days the PS5 may as well hang around until 2030-35 when some kind of meaningful improvement can be shown.
With Covid and long dev cycles I’m one of those that feels like this generation hasn’t even properly kicked off yet…
Re: Random: You've Been Pronouncing Balatro Wrong (Probably)
Nah I think they’ve been saying it wrong 😂
Re: Days Gone PS5 Will Tempt You Back to the Broken Road with All-New Trophies
@themightyant same, I have this but never got round to it. 10 upgrade seems like the perfect time to get stuck in!
Re: Naughty Dog's Intergalactic Unlikely to Release on PS5 Until 2027
PS studios have been all over the place since Shu moved to indies and Herman took over.
Re: Poll: What Are Your Thoughts on Bloodborne, 10 Years Later?
The best of Fromsoftware’s output if you ask me and one of my top 3 from the PS4 era.
Re: Xbox Has 'a Lot More' PS5 Ports to Come in 2025
South of midnight looks decent. Could be interested if that gets ported… also fable.
Re: At a Tumultuous Time, Assassin's Creed Shadows Is Doing the Business for Ubisoft
@Ryo_Hazuki yeah I feel outlaws was unfairly received. I thought it was excellent!
Re: Ex-Xbox Console Exclusive Indiana Jones Will Be Fully Revealed for PS5 Imminently
Happy for the physical release thanks MS!
Re: Hotly Anticipated RPG Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Ready for PS5 Launch
I hardly ever pre-order these days but something about this has made me do exactly that. Hope it turns out ok!
Re: Video: PS5 Pro vs PS5 - Assassin's Creed Shadows Stuns on Sony's Hardware
Any option with 60fps will do me!
Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows (PS5) - Striking Open World RPG Is a Real Cut Above
Not played an AC since origins and even then didn’t finish it so I’m ready to jump back in with a feudal Japanese setting. Glad it turned out ok!
Re: A New PlayStation Studio Just Got Confirmed on a Podcast
Good to hear Sony are investing in their studios still…
Re: Ex-Xbox System Seller Starfield Edges Ever Closer to PS5
@tameshiyaku same.
While I loved the world they made in Skyrim I couldn’t understand why people were so blown away with it. Found it shallow, monotonous and boring myself!
Re: Sony Banned Jonah Hill from Playing PlayStation in Superbad
@Ichiban Mclovin haha I’d forgotten about that! 🤣🤣
Re: Stellar Blade Reveals Massive PC Frame Rate Improvements with Cutting-Edge Nvidia Tech
I mean technically it’s impressive but my eyes can’t tell the difference. Having 360fps surely is just about bragging rights between geeky pc gamers?
Re: PS5 Pro's PSSR to Be Upgraded with FSR 4-Like Tech in 2026
@EfYI Would you like me to tell you about sparcity? If so my answer may be a bit sparse 🤭
Re: Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Imminent on PS5 as ESRB Rating Emerges
Any word on a physical release?
Re: Forza Horizon 5 Will Require a Microsoft Account to Play on PS5, Raising Preservation Problems
I hope the lack of physical release on this one is just down to its age and new releases like Indy have physical.
Otherwise I may be buying less MS games than I originally thought.
Re: PS Productions to Produce Resident Evil Movie Reboot by Barbarian Director
@tameshiyaku yeah I liked raccoon city, at least it felt like Resi…
Re: AMD Hypes Up PS6 Collaboration, FSR 4 Upscaling Tech
After getting a pro last November I won’t be getting a PS6 for many years yet.
Sony need to sort out their first party output, or lack of it.
Re: The Order: 1886 Honoured in Today's New Astro Bot PS5 Level
Loved the order. Even today it looks incredible!
Re: Poll: What Was Your PS5 Game of the Month for February 2025?
I only played wukong so it was that for me! lol
Re: Upcoming PS5 Games for March and April 2025
@PrincessPeach11 ah same, I was lucky enough to find a drive!
Re: Upcoming PS5 Games for March and April 2025
@PrincessPeach11 I was thinking the same, there’s a 20% discount on Amazon at the moment in the uk…
Re: PS5 Players Drive Xbox's Forza Horizon 5 to the Top of the PS Store Pre-Order Charts All Around the World
@termiki yeah I realise that. I played the old forzas and PGR on the OG Xbox and 360. It’s just I’m not massive on racing games so dirt and the crew will probably do for me unless the price of forza comes down so much I can’t refuse!
Re: PS5 Players Drive Xbox's Forza Horizon 5 to the Top of the PS Store Pre-Order Charts All Around the World
Dirt 5 and the crew are probably enough to scratch my racing itch but if this comes to physical or a big digital sale I might bite.
Re: PS5 Fans Are Desperate for a Physical Version of Xbox Game Forza Horizon 5
@MrMagic motorfest is decent to be fair!
Re: Suicide Squad Bombed So Bad, It Basically Took Wonder Woman and Monolith Down with It
Well at least suicide squad didn’t do as bad as concord 🤭
Re: Game of the Year Contender Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Targeting April PS5 Release
Will this have a physical release though? I noticed forza 5 doesn’t…
Re: PS5 Fans Are Desperate for a Physical Version of Xbox Game Forza Horizon 5
Oh dear that’s actually a deal breaker for me.
Re: Xbox's Forza Horizon 5 Snatches April Release Date on PS5, Priced at $60
I’ll pick this up at some point but I’m in no rush right now.
