ZERO dawn and Forbidden West are among my favourite games. I love the franchise as a single player open world experience. Really not interested in playing a multiplayer adaption.
I think the Dualsense is already a great controller, and instead of introducing a buttonless controller, they should make it mandatory for developers to use all the dualsense features, which are currently not being fully utilised. How about replacing the Dualsense with the Dualsense Edge, which is a much better controller.
The idea of a buttonless design is silly. Feeling physical buttons is important. Not having a button there risks missing a button or pressimg the wrong one.
The value is not the monetary savings, but the quality of the games. It was a mixed bag. Some good titles among lots of poor titles. So saying it netted you over 1500 is a sensationalist headline.
There were only 6 games I like over the year, and i already had 3 of them, so there was little value in it for me.
Continuing my 4th Ghost of Yotei playthrough, on Lethal.
Love this game. Already have the platinum, and the challenge on lethal difficulty is great fun.
Im really enjoying this collection. Takes me right back to the 90's. Zero lag for me on PS5 PRO. Hilarious that people want a refund instead of improving their skill and playing it how it was intended.
PS5 PRO is a beast of a machine. I really don't see them makimg a PS6 which gives a decent upgrade without charging a fortune. Without a competitor like Xbox, there is no incentive to entice new and returning customers. They will have the monopoly. Returning to PC gaming is on the table for me. After 30 years of Playstation loyalty, the PS5 PRO might be my last one.
PS4 / PS4 Pro were fantastic machines of their day, but they are overdue their retirement. I'm surprised game devs are still making PS4 versions or their games.
I was a day 1 PS5 Pro user, and I don't feel shortchanged in the slightest. I love the console, the difference it makes over the base PS5 is night and day. You just can't please some people!
Imagine buying an expensive powerful console, one of its biggest performance features, to then activate a power/performance reducing feature. If power consumption is an issue to people, maybe they should have got a nintendo switch instead.
Ive had every ps generation since ps1 in the 90's. Going by the ps6 rumours, they are giving me every reason to make ps5 pro my last one before I jump ship and build a gaming pc
Ive never liked the subscription model. I just want to buy a game and play. Sony forcing you to pay for a subscription just to play online is the worst!
But... Both my PS5 and PS5 Pro have 8tb SSD's. I don't use the console storage. If I was buying a new console, this wouldn't affect me negatively. It would be a price cut of sorts.
Current pricing is rediculous. Ive said previously that after 30 years of Playstation gaming, I'm considering building a gaming pc in a few years. The pricing of consoles, games and GTA+ is the reason. I can get better value for money building my own rig.
I have just pre-ordered the digital deluxe. Now I just need to ask my boss for a few days off starting 2nd October. Oh wait, I work for myself lol Can't wait to play it!
Ive had every generation of PlayStation since 1995, and I think the way console prices are going, the PS5 PRO might be my last. I'm currently weighing up the options of building a PC gaming rig. If the silly pricing continues for consoles, I can get better value for money building a decent PC. It's a shame, but im not going to be ripped off.

@johndoe89 weak? Clearly you've not played it. Or is the thought of a female main character the reason? Atsu is badass!

Re: PS5 Welcome Hub Update Adds New Stat Tracking, Backgrounds
The best feature the Welcome Hub could have is a toggle to turn the welcome hub off altogether.
Not everyone wants or uses it.
Re: Huge Ghost of Yotei PS5 Patch Drops Next Week, Adds New Game+, Items, and More
Excellent news
Re: One of Ghost of Yotei's Most Unique Features Was Meant to Be Much Bigger
Less is more. It was a great way to build the character, but if they did it too often, or all the time, it woukd have been overkill
Re: Poll: Is Ghost of Yotei Better Than Ghost of Tsushima?
They are both excellent games. No need to compare them.

Re: Sony's Allowing Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection Refunds Because the PS5, PS4 Compilation Is a 'Downright Nightmare' for Some

Re: Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection (PS5) - An Almost Flawless Victory for Fighting Game Fans
I've been playing this for most of the day on PS5 Pro. Absolutely awesome bit of nostalgia. Spent much of the 90's playing these. Toasty!

Re: New PlayStation Rewards Program to Offer Exclusive Merch, Starts Today
Not really a rewards program then. Its a store selling items for the same price as the game itself.

Re: PS5 Firmware Update Out Now, Brings Power Saver Mode, DualSense Controller Pairing
I bought both my PS5 & PS5 Pro for their raw power. I have no interest in reducing their power lol. Pointless feature for me 😂
Re: PS5 Firmware Update Out Tomorrow, Brings Power Saver Mode, DualSense Controller Pairing
Imagine buying an expensive powerful console, one of its biggest performance features, to then activate a power/performance reducing feature.
If power consumption is an issue to people, maybe they should have got a nintendo switch instead.

It is a price increase, just a stealth one.
