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.
Good to hear! But.. How do you provide evidence a download game is faulty? Error logs dont always happen, for example a game I recently bought kept freezing requiring manually closing the game from the home screen, but it didnt generate an error log. Its not always possible to screen record these things either.
Given The Sims 4 is FREE, any copycat game trying to piggyback on the success of the original and charge for it will likely have an uphill struggle. It will probably flop and get bundled into ps+ monthly games as a space filler soon after release.
My favourite Sims cash farm was throwing a party and locking sims in my house basement/dungeon with only an art easel and the basics to keep them alive. I ended up with a basement full of highly skilled artists, and made a fortune from selling their work. 😇🎨

But how many of those 35 million found the game boring and wont bother with a sequel?
Re: Huge Ghost of Yotei PS5 Patch Drops Next Week, Adds New Game+, Items, and More
@johndoe89 weak? Clearly you've not played it. Or is the thought of a female main character the reason? Atsu is badass!

Well, its nearly midday on 24th November and this patch is not available yet.

I already avoid ubisoft games. This cements my stance.
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.

No surprise. Well deserved. One of the games I have had the total pleasure of gaining the platinum for.

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

Im on PS5 Pro and have not experienced any lag.

Just platinumed Ghost of Yotei, been playing all weekend. Great game. Probably finish off the weekend with some Unreal Tournament 2004

Stray is ok, the other 2 are meh..
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: PS6 Release Date Touted for 2027, Cheaper But Less Powerful Than Next Xbox
Quite happy with my PS5 PRO. It's a beast and am in no hurry to replace it.

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'm 9 hours in and hooked! Absolutely stunning game.
Re: PlayStation's New 'Rewards' Program Goes Down Like a Lead Balloon
Its not a rewards program. Simple.
Its a shop selling overpriced merch with an entry requirement.

Re: PS Plus Essential Games for October 2025 Announced
A strong month! All 3 games are fantastic!
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 Pro Users Starting to Feel a Little Shortchanged After Poor or Absent Support

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.

@HRdepartment of sorts. If im not using the thing they are cutting, then yes.

It is a price increase, just a stealth one.
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.
