The stick drift killed it for me. I was sick of sending the ps4 ones back to Amazon and Year later I’m still doing it with ps5. Other than that great console.
Not sure why there is such a noise about the single player game. This is a multiplayer game and glad that the emphasis is on that. I’ve not played it as it’s not my type of game, but love hearing people are having a blast.
@Dalamar yes I was in for a switch 2, but that was a deal breaker for me. Its not changed much since Wii u. I’d like to see a grittier version, a full revamp.
Great that’s made me want to purchase. Last physical was The Precinct, which can with a bunch of stuff. Metal case and a sew on cop badge. It’s good to keep a bit of physical history and I can sell it on if I like.
Purchased at launch out of curiosity. I’d firstly say that the vm is jaw dropping if you’ve never seen it in action .before. Niece and nephew really enjoyed it (under supervision).
Going forward I don’t really use it and it’s on my list of things to sell. I think there are good games out for it, I just don’t have the time and it also get motion sickness.
Finally I don’t like not being able to see the real world once I have the headset on.
All in all I thought it a good addition and support ps for trying something new, though they should have supported more games. I’ve got the money to waste on trying, so don’t mind taking a loss when I sell it.
Must have been having a break from my pc years and missed this. Really enjoying it. They should really port over the remastered C&C as that was fantastic too. I nearly flunked my 1st year because of that game, many decades ago 😊
@Vectrex A step in the right direction definitely, though I’d like a couple of days. I’d say 60%+ of my games I don’t end up playing . I’m an old guy & it’s mainly due to time. I tend to pass the games on to my nephew & let him play or sell.
I can see a lot of comments are happy with digital only. I can understand some of the reasons, but I much prefer physical. I sell 60% + of my games and pass them on. Why would you be happy to not have this option?
I’ll never forget coming back from holiday and seeing final fight running on the snes at my games store. That’s the first time I said to myself that’s just like the arcade and foamed at the mouth. Apart from the neo geo snes was the best console around by far. I always want a perfect outrun on console which helps too.
Biggest woes of the controllers is the stick drift. I’m already two controllers down and I’m a light player. Almost a decade of the issue now and no plan of a fix.
@get2sammyb I’m all for buying the outrun port they did for the switch. It tops the straight arcade port @ 60fps. I love to buy that for the PS, just to leave the music blasting out and me of the arcade days 😃
All depends how old you are. I specifically remember the snes pulling in all my friends who never cared about gaming. SF2 and Mario cart being the pull. The SNES was imo the best console of all time

Re: New PS5 Firmware Update Is Available to Download Now
Would be nice for a firmware to fix stick drifting unless that’s just not a problem for Sony
Re: SEGA Trademarks Arcade Paradise Potentially Hinting at Compilation Bundle
@Fighting_Game_Loser yea that alone almost made me buy a switch . Original shinobi would be great too 😊
Re: SEGA Trademarks Arcade Paradise Potentially Hinting at Compilation Bundle
Don’t show me a picture of outrun and then not release it. I’d pay good money for the switch 60fps arcade outrun , just name your price
Re: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds (PS5) - PS5's Best Kart Racer Is Robust, Chaotic Fun
I love Sega.
If they could release physical arcade outrun @ 60fps I’d be so happy. Sorry guys Im just an old dude dreaming.

Re: PS5's Lovely Astro Bot Controller Gets a 'Joyful' Re-Release
@nomither6 Drift can’t be mentioned enough. It makes me hate PlayStation for thinking it ok to not fully acknowledge it as a major issue. Scum bags.
Re: Preview: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Already Feels Like a Respectable Rival to Mario Kart World
@Dalamar yes I was in for a switch 2, but that was a deal breaker for me. Its not changed much since Wii u. I’d like to see a grittier version, a full revamp.

Im not buying digital as I like to sell the games if I don’t end up playing them.

Re: Sony Still Does Physical Gaming Properly, Death Stranding 2 Fully Playable from Disc
Great that’s made me want to purchase.
Last physical was The Precinct, which can with a bunch of stuff. Metal case and a sew on cop badge. It’s good to keep a bit of physical history and I can sell it on if I like.
Re: Reaction: Helldivers 2 on Xbox Signals Another Unexpected But Not Overly Surprising Shift in Strategy from Sony
The more the merrier. I think exclusives are a tacky idea anyway

Re: Poor Showing for DOOM: The Dark Ages on PS5 Pro
I’ve held back on my purchase. Not the blockbuster I was hoping for. I have such a backlog to play anyway.
Perhaps a revisit after a few patches
Re: Rumour: DOOM: The Dark Ages PS5's Physical Edition May Require a Download to Start
@Vectrex A step in the right direction definitely, though I’d like a couple of days.
I’d say 60%+ of my games I don’t end up playing . I’m an old guy & it’s mainly due to time. I tend to pass the games on to my nephew & let him play or sell.
Re: Rumour: DOOM: The Dark Ages PS5's Physical Edition May Require a Download to Start
@Nepp67 I fully support physical and we all should. You can buy it try it and if it’s not for you sell it on or give it your friends.
Re: It's Ridge Racer! Riiidge Racer! And It's Coming to PS5, PS4 Next Month
@Dimey great call - chase HQ was great. A ps5 Outrun and Tatsujin would make my year
Re: Preview: Arc Raiders Could Be the Definitive Extraction Shooter on PS5
@SteveJaye I’m hoping for the same. I loved division as I could mess around in single player and then seamlessly glide into multiplayer .
Re: Microsoft Short Changes Indiana Jones PS5 by Only Putting 20GB on the Blu-ray

Physical only for me.
Re: Prepare 107GB of Space for Assassin's Creed Shadows on PS5
@nomither6 it’s not irrelevant. You can buy the physical and if it’s not for you , sell it on.

Re: PS5 Fans Are Desperate for a Physical Version of Xbox Game Forza Horizon 5
