1440 and VRR would be wonderful too. But I just want folders and themes personally on the my collection/installed tabs. So the pin ability & the longer game stream is welcome. I'd really love to use themes again. I had at least a dozen themes on PS4 & I very much miss the ability to switch between them.
And there's a difference between me "joining in" and me commenting on things when I feel it's warranted. Several people came to your defense about your comments being racist and all the stuff you said after was just combative & trying to bait them into an argument/get a response, especially the apology comment. So that was why I felt the need to call out the irony of you saying "I can't pander to everyone's sensitivities." I'm sorry the response you received, wasn't the one you were looking to get.
@Loftimus it's really hard for me to take your comment about "I can't go pandering to everyone's sensitivities" seriously when you then say things like "who do you think you are?" & "no apology or nothing?" It's just weird to imply they're being sensitive but then exhibit similar sensitivity. But you seem to make a lot of weird comments and that's okay I guess.
Listen, I spoke up and I think most regular people here realized it was reaching to say your comments were racist. I think your comment was also reaching but regardless, you're entitled to your opinion. But my point is, your comment wasn't racist & there's no need to really go on the defensive because it was pretty clear to most that it wasn't racial in nature. Your whole defensive stance was more of you being butt hurt & offended & being, I dare say, sensitive. Even when the guy conceded & was cordial, you once again had to follow it up with some potshots. So while not being racist, you seem just as sensitive as those who've offended you.... just something to think about.
@ATaco I'm sure the guy probably would have said the same about British devs if he felt they were doing the same thing. Either way, not racist. A bit weird, sure. But gamers can be very weird.
@WallyWest your take on his comment is reaching just as far as the guy's take about Polish developers. His is because there are Polish devs like Bloober Team who put out great games that are exactly what they say they are. Your comment is because his issue/problem with them isn't specifically that they are Polish but because of false promises he feels those devs have made.
Maybe on a deep sale someday, it just doesn't have much that excites me at all. Plus SIFU comes out a few days after it, which looked more fun & something to play before the onslaught about to come out.
I only got 7, kinda upset I got the Spyro question off by a year. I could have swore it came out in 97. This test was a little weird though as many questions were just about random games that are multi-platform so it wasn't really about specifically PlayStation stuff, just a lot of random stuff. That's okay though, these are fun.
I played this on Switch after IGN gave it a rare 10/10 review and it was really, really good. Wonderful story and lore, so I may double dip on this. Hopefully it has some upgrades from the Switch version.
@Grimwood your response just seems like you're trying really hard to be edgy & argumentative. Using words like disgusting & such.... about a jumping horse. Lol ok 👌 do you.
Finally playing through the remainder of Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition on PS5 through backward compat. The 60 FPS and the HDR on my new TV really make it almost a new experience, loving it. Just took out the Deathbringer, which I was stuck on when I originally put it down. I'm glad I came back to it in time for Forbidden West, can't wait for it!
Besides that, one of my roommates & I played some matches in Guilty Gear Strive & holy guacamole is that game beautiful & fun. My favorite fighter probably ever.
Might try to play a little Spider-Man Remastered & finish Iki Island in GoT Director's Cut.
@nookie_egg Lol you realize that Disney technically owns Spider-Man and all those characters right? They'd be buying Sony just for the movie/television rights back. They licensed both Spider-Man & Wolverine out for those games to Sony.... it's why they've made sure to include "Marvel's" in front of all recent games.
@RevGaming by trying to bait him, you're asking him obviously insulting things "does it make you feel good..." which is pretty much you implying a flaw in his character by being interested in such things.
That's not you stating your thoughts or giving an opinion on NFTs, it's you directly asking him about his motivations while framing it negatively.
I tend to switch between games a lot on the PS5 I recently got just to check out the experiences, that being said...
I'm about to finish up RE: Village, I'm at the Factory now. I got through the story of GoT and now have the Iki Island expansion. Then, continuing my playthrough of Spider-Man Remastered and looking to start Demon's Souls proper. I also want to playthrough Horizon before Forbidden West hits but last I played I was stuck at a particularly hard boss and just stopped, kinda scared to return lol. It's a three day weekend from work for me, so should get some good time in!
@Rural-Bandit I like the Dual Sense more the the Dualshock but for PS4 I bought the Nacon Revolution Pro Controller that had offset sticks like Xbox controllers and it was SOOOOOOO much better. Xbox and the Switch Pro controller are so much more comfortable. The second that a PS5 controller that's decent is released with offset sticks, I'm buying it. All the ones released right now are cheap dollar store knock offs.
@Jaz007 I highly doubt they're rushing to get a PS5 at all as there is only like, 3 or 4 PS5 exclusives at the time of this writing. Rift Apart, Demon's Souls, Returnal, and Deathloop are the only I can't think of and you can guarantee those will hit PC because those cost a ton of money to create & Sony isn't making much from them because they're all kinda niche games on a console they aren't able to produce many of
@Col_McCafferty dude, grow up & do away with this tribalism nonsense. It doesn't matter what system you own or where you play your games at, we are ALL a community. Smh I'm not even going to ask your age but these games are either old, have already sold what they are going to sell at retail, or are going to be PS5 exclusive niche games. Niche games that are exclusive to a console most people can't buy & Sony can barely keep up production on.... so Sony figures who cares if Returnal goes to PC? No one bought a PS5 for Returnal and I imagine not even a large fraction of current PS5 owners actually bought it. So does it really effect anything if it gets ported to PC? If Sony wants to go sell another million or two copies of an old or a niche PS5 game for full retail price, it's not the end of the PlayStation or console gaming. Console gaming will always be the prevalent gaming method with casuals and believe it or not, casuals make up a huge if not the majority of console owners. It's why sports games & COD & GTA are forever the top sellers and are usually primarily played on console. PS exclusive games from a few years ago that already sold 10 million copies going to PC will never change that. Get some perspective and common sense
@BritneyfR_ee I think a lot of people are playing through the first game in prep for this game like me, for the first time, so please avoid spoilers even for the old game. Your first comment was a joke spoiler, so when you post another one with same header, it's deceiving.
@Flaming_Kaiser it's the "wild west" because people keep doing it. It's kinda hard to blame companies for putting out bad products when people keep buying them without learning about them beforehand. It's very easy to read reviews and don't pre order games before you know they aren't busted. It's pretty easy to do, I do it. But if you don't do that then you can't really complain and have it be valid if you keep buying things without having any caution. Those companies have no obligation to put out a good product if people keep spending money on poor & half finished products. They don't care if it's good or finished, they care about sales.
May continue some in GoT Director's Cut & Spider-Man Remastered, I'm liking that the game is going much quicker since I've already beat it on PS4... I'm racking up XP & skills like crazy.
Besides that, I bought Demon's Souls, Alan Wake, & FIST in the sale so I'm really looking forward to playing Alan Wake & Control back to back.
Demon's Souls is my first Souls games so wish me luck!
@Flaming_Kaiser the only thing you, as a consumer can do is stop pre-ordering games and make informed choices on what you purchase. Not giving these developers your money is way more effective than going on message board tantrums. That's how you get them to listen. Make informed & intelligent decisions with your purchasing, that's really the best thing you can do.
I've had a hard time getting into VR for some reason. And I've tried VERY hard to get into it. I own an Oculus Quest 2 that I bought to try Resident Evil 4 & GTA San Andreas when it launches and I also had PSVR I bought secondhand, which had some really fun games like Resident Evil 7, Batman Arkham VR, Skyrim, Trover Saves The Universe, Accounting+, Blood & Truth, Iron Man, and of course Astro Bot. But I have a super hard time just keeping the headset on for longer than an hour or so, I'll start sweating, I'll get uncomfortable, and it just takes a lot to get me to play it. PSVR was really a chore to set up but there were games I REALLY wanted to play....RE7 was full stop incredible & terrifying the first time I played it....ive not had a better VR experience since. My Oculus stays in the case most days and I think the big reason is, there's no "Killer App" for it besides RE4, I'll definitely play GTA but besides that Half Life Alyx is really the only VR game I really want to play & I'd have to get my friend to let me link up to his gaming laptop & stuff just to let me play it, which I haven't tried to ask him to do yet. PSVR2 I think has much better possibilities for software than the Oculus does but price & availability will obviously be big factors, ease of use....but I'm definitely open to the idea of getting one, knowing they'll have some great software for it.
@ATaco ok I wasn't really trying to refute your opinions or have a debate about gatekeeping cosmetics or whatever. I was really trying to explain why I think you're overreacting & being a bit over the top. Your opinion on cosmetics being sold as optional DLC is really the only thing that correlates to this game & really that's not even about this game, it's you just crapping on something over a preconceived notion you already have, which I find to be a bit silly & petty. But ok. Be mad all you want over costumes. This isn't a game you purposely went and bought...it's about a game that you're literally getting for like a dollar. Just.... nevermind. Sorry you can't just enjoy a good game when you get one for almost nothing.
And you did say they were "a worthless thing anyone could buy." So... please don't act like I put those words in your mouth or projected that onto what you said.
@ATaco Are you really that bothered about the value & the accessibility of costumes for your video game character? Just.... it boggles my mind you're bothered that someone can pay for an imaginary costume and how your deem them worthless yet your whole speech is about you being upset that it doesn't come already bundled in the game. You're upset that this game, that you're getting for pennies, doesn't come with some worthless cosmetic.... that's worthless because it's accessible to "just anyone." Really it seems like a long winded justification to what boils down to "I want to complain because I can."
Gah.... it was an ordeal just writing that out & trying to comprehend your complaints through the filter of my own reason, logic, & maturity.
@Milktastrophe no one forgot that we have to pay for electricity sigh. We are just reasonable adults & attempt to have a level of maturity when we react to things like video game cosmetics for games that we are getting for peanuts. As adults, we understand it's really not that big of a deal & really probably not worth the time & effort it would take to complain about something so petty & miniscule. Because it's really just a video game that you shoot guns and stuff in.... if I don't get some stupid outfit to wear on my video game character, that's ok, I realize the people who made the game need to feed their families & have an income too, that they need to pay for their electricity too. If selling some in-game items is a way for them to do that, that's okay, I don't have to buy them.... it won't effect me or my enjoyment of the actual game. Get some perspective & maturity complain about something that isn't so petty & irrelevant.
About games I'm getting on a service that AT MOST costs $5 USD per month.... that I got on one of the MANY 50% off sales, so I'm paying $2.50 USD per month for.... the price of a can of pop, of a candy bar, of a McDouble...
@themightyant are you speaking to me about the Adata S70 Blade? If so, 105 British pounds is 140 USD so the price I bought it at and that it's still at, is technically a bit cheaper that.
So I bought the Adata Gammix S70 Blade off Amazon for $129.99 which is by far the cheapest I've seen these with a heatsink included. Installing it was a breeze & I've never really done anything like this before. The PS5 recognized it immediately and transferring any game onto it took 60 seconds or less. One thing to mention is it advertises read speeds of up to 7400mbs but the PS5 test was 6500, so there's that. Other than that, I've had it for almost two weeks & it runs games just as fast as the PS5. No complaints from me so far! Very happy with the simple installation & the wide array of options. Couldn't be happier.
God of War, Horizon, Suicide Squad, Gotham Knights, Witcher 3, and Cyberpunk. Plenty of others but those are my most anticipated. Partially because we've seen gameplay from them all. Ghostwire Tokyo looks really fun too.
Trying to clean up side quests in Ghosts of Tshumia Director's Cut on PS5 before I finish the story & do Iik Island. Probably try to finish Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart, I finished Astro's Playroom last night & what a fun trip down memory lane.
Playing through this right now on my new PS5 I bought on Christmas Eve. This was one of the first purchases I made and my first R&C game.... and so far, it's my favorite PS5 exclusive & the best looking game I've played.... probably ever.
The very early level that's a futuristic, cyberpunk-style level with the flying cars & such.... I've spent so much time just staring at the details in the environment. The skies are just chock full of traffic & there is so much going on, it's truly like nothing else I've ever seen in gaming. It's the one game that I really couldn't ever imagine running on last gen, it's something that really has shown me what is possible this gen.
It's a really easy game & nothing groundbreaking, it may be "short" but it's the one game that has consistently blown me away & made me excited about the future of the hardware. It's the game I will show my friends what the PS5 is capable of.
@JamieO wow, those are real trophies?! Kudos to you for getting them but those are really, really overboard especially for bronze. I can't imagine how ridiculous the silver & gold trophies are.... or what percentage of players that get them & the platinum are.
To the people saying that they are worried about buying a Ratchet & Clank game because it's only 20 hours or whatever..... I had no problem paying $50 for it. Because for me, it's quality over quantity. Same with Metroid Dread. I'll happily pay for a shorter game if the quality of the hours spent in it are so high. But if you'd rather play something that's longer but a little watered down, then I understand.
It's been sitting in the backlog since it went on sale during the Black Friday PSN sale. I plan on starting it after I finish Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart & Astro's Playroom. Though kinda weird it's PS4 only game but it still looks pretty great graphically. The art direction & aesthetic is top notch....it really should've won for that at the Game Awards.
If you think a PS5 upgrade is just a "60 FPS" patch, I feel like you've not played them. GoT is a new experience after I switched my save file over to PS5 last night, it's not a different game but it's a different experience. The haptic & adaptive trigger implementation of the dual sense, the 3D audio, the 60 FPS, the cut scenes being real time, the reflections & shadows, the lack of loading screens, it's just.... It's very different, as someone who just began playing it on PS5 after playing up until Act Three on PS4 Pro. It's not just a 60FPS patch, if you just want a 60FPS patch then you can play the PS4 version on PS5. It's a true PS5 game now.
15 for me, eh decent. I missed a ton of the first dozen just because I didn't really pay much attention to news until this summer when I started preparing to find a PS5.... I pretty much got the last 10 all correct.
So I finally got a PS5 on Christmas eve with my Christmas bonus from work! I ended up paying a local scalper $750 for it which.... I know, don't judge me.... But I'm so happy I got it. It's like my childhood all over again.
So I got Deathoop, Returnal, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, Stranding Director's Cut, Spider-Man Remastered, Guilty Gear Strive, and a bunch of games I can upgrade whenever I finish these. I've played some Returnal & Spider-Man just to check out the ray tracing & such. Great system but the home screen leaves something to be desired, PS4 with themes, folders, and custom organization was much better, but I do like the library integration & the fact I could just plug my PS4 4tb HDD straight into it.
Best Christmas in years! I don't think I've ever gotten a console this early into it's life cycle! Merry Christmas everyone & hope yours' is as great as mine!
I got a PS5 on Christmas Eve!! I got a Christmas bonus from work & I bought it from a local scalper off Facebook marketplace of all places for $750, I met him at a Starbucks & tested it on a portable monitor there to verify it worked. Yeesh it was expensive...I know but it was worth it...it's like my childhood all over again, getting a console for Christmas. I'll make some of it back from selling my PS4 Pro & accessories but next thing I really want to get is an SSD to expand my game storage.
I'm super excited though, first thing I booted up was the Matrix tech demo. I've got a bunch of games I can upgrade for free, then I bought Returnal, Death Stranding Director's Cut, Ratchet & Clank, and Deathloop so I can experience the PS5 exclusives. I thought about Demon's Souls but I'm scared of FromSoftware heh.
Merry Christmas everyone! I hope some of you are having as wonderful a holiday as I am!
Ni No Kuni 2 Scarlet Nexus Dragon's Dogma Observer Nier Automata or Replicant Immortals Fenix Rising Dead Cells Watch Dogs Legion or 2 Yakuza 3, 4, or 5 Judgment Days Gone
All of these games are games I kinda want but haven't bit on and I'd be quite happy with any of them. Anything that's well regarded & well made for what it is, I'll be happy with.
Started GoT Director's Cut and it's very pretty looking... story is good, combat is fun, I'm liking it.
Maybe some more Persona 5 Royal, I'm in June now.
I also got an Oculus Quest 2 because I wanted something for Christmas and I can't find a PS5 or X Box Series.... I've been playing Resident Evil 4. It's pretty amazing, I can't wait until this technology gets further along. It'll be fun.
My real takeaway from this article is that I'll now be listening to Sacred Symbols.... always looking for more podcasts to listen to at work, after seeing the praise for it in the comments, I'll be checking it out. Thanks guys!
I like BioShock, particularly the first game & loved the setting. Never played Infinite despite some interest. So I'd definitely play this, the setting doesn't sound all that intriguing but I'll wait to hear more about it.
I don't need something that's the equivalent of Game Pass but it would be really nice to have something comparable. I won't lie and say I haven't been tempted to make the leap & get a Series system just to give Game Pass a try. If Sony had something even comparable, it might stop that temptation from lingering in the back of my mind. Plus, I really wish I could use the X-Box style controller on my PS system, I love that design.
I mean.... they're okay. Could be worse. It's not a golf game & it's not something boring like First Class Trouble. Mortal Shell seems okay. Godfall would be cool if it's wasn't endgame stuff. Lego DC would be okay especially if it's local co-op but I don't think it is.

I own an Oculus Quest 2 that I bought to try Resident Evil 4 & GTA San Andreas when it launches and I also had PSVR I bought secondhand, which had some really fun games like Resident Evil 7, Batman Arkham VR, Skyrim, Trover Saves The Universe, Accounting+, Blood & Truth, Iron Man, and of course Astro Bot. But I have a super hard time just keeping the headset on for longer than an hour or so, I'll start sweating, I'll get uncomfortable, and it just takes a lot to get me to play it. PSVR was really a chore to set up but there were games I REALLY wanted to play....RE7 was full stop incredible & terrifying the first time I played it....ive not had a better VR experience since. My Oculus stays in the case most days and I think the big reason is, there's no "Killer App" for it besides RE4, I'll definitely play GTA but besides that Half Life Alyx is really the only VR game I really want to play & I'd have to get my friend to let me link up to his gaming laptop & stuff just to let me play it, which I haven't tried to ask him to do yet. PSVR2 I think has much better possibilities for software than the Oculus does but price & availability will obviously be big factors, ease of use....but I'm definitely open to the idea of getting one, knowing they'll have some great software for it.
Re: PS Plus' Deep Rock Galactic Has So Much Day One PS5, PS4 DLC
@ATaco ok I wasn't really trying to refute your opinions or have a debate about gatekeeping cosmetics or whatever. I was really trying to explain why I think you're overreacting & being a bit over the top. Your opinion on cosmetics being sold as optional DLC is really the only thing that correlates to this game & really that's not even about this game, it's you just crapping on something over a preconceived notion you already have, which I find to be a bit silly & petty. But ok. Be mad all you want over costumes. This isn't a game you purposely went and bought...it's about a game that you're literally getting for like a dollar. Just.... nevermind. Sorry you can't just enjoy a good game when you get one for almost nothing.
And you did say they were "a worthless thing anyone could buy." So... please don't act like I put those words in your mouth or projected that onto what you said.
Re: PS Plus' Deep Rock Galactic Has So Much Day One PS5, PS4 DLC
@ATaco Are you really that bothered about the value & the accessibility of costumes for your video game character? Just.... it boggles my mind you're bothered that someone can pay for an imaginary costume and how your deem them worthless yet your whole speech is about you being upset that it doesn't come already bundled in the game. You're upset that this game, that you're getting for pennies, doesn't come with some worthless cosmetic.... that's worthless because it's accessible to "just anyone." Really it seems like a long winded justification to what boils down to "I want to complain because I can."
Gah.... it was an ordeal just writing that out & trying to comprehend your complaints through the filter of my own reason, logic, & maturity.
Re: PS Plus' Deep Rock Galactic Has So Much Day One PS5, PS4 DLC
@Milktastrophe no one forgot that we have to pay for electricity sigh. We are just reasonable adults & attempt to have a level of maturity when we react to things like video game cosmetics for games that we are getting for peanuts. As adults, we understand it's really not that big of a deal & really probably not worth the time & effort it would take to complain about something so petty & miniscule. Because it's really just a video game that you shoot guns and stuff in.... if I don't get some stupid outfit to wear on my video game character, that's ok, I realize the people who made the game need to feed their families & have an income too, that they need to pay for their electricity too. If selling some in-game items is a way for them to do that, that's okay, I don't have to buy them.... it won't effect me or my enjoyment of the actual game. Get some perspective & maturity complain about something that isn't so petty & irrelevant.
About games I'm getting on a service that AT MOST costs $5 USD per month.... that I got on one of the MANY 50% off sales, so I'm paying $2.50 USD per month for.... the price of a can of pop, of a candy bar, of a McDouble...
Re: Best PS5 SSD 2022: Boost Your PS5 Storage Capacity
@themightyant are you speaking to me about the Adata S70 Blade? If so, 105 British pounds is 140 USD so the price I bought it at and that it's still at, is technically a bit cheaper that.
Re: Best PS5 SSD 2022: Boost Your PS5 Storage Capacity
So I bought the Adata Gammix S70 Blade off Amazon for $129.99 which is by far the cheapest I've seen these with a heatsink included. Installing it was a breeze & I've never really done anything like this before. The PS5 recognized it immediately and transferring any game onto it took 60 seconds or less. One thing to mention is it advertises read speeds of up to 7400mbs but the PS5 test was 6500, so there's that. Other than that, I've had it for almost two weeks & it runs games just as fast as the PS5. No complaints from me so far! Very happy with the simple installation & the wide array of options. Couldn't be happier.
Re: PS Now's January 2022 Update Includes Mortal Kombat 11, Final Fantasy 12, More
@solocapers I would guess so you could play it off of your external HDD or SSD rather than use your internal SSD for it.
Re: Most Anticipated PS5, PS4 Games of 2022
God of War, Horizon, Suicide Squad, Gotham Knights, Witcher 3, and Cyberpunk. Plenty of others but those are my most anticipated. Partially because we've seen gameplay from them all. Ghostwire Tokyo looks really fun too.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - New Year Edition
Happy new year!
Trying to clean up side quests in Ghosts of Tshumia Director's Cut on PS5 before I finish the story & do Iik Island. Probably try to finish Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart, I finished Astro's Playroom last night & what a fun trip down memory lane.
Re: Game of the Year: #3 - Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart
Playing through this right now on my new PS5 I bought on Christmas Eve. This was one of the first purchases I made and my first R&C game.... and so far, it's my favorite PS5 exclusive & the best looking game I've played.... probably ever.
The very early level that's a futuristic, cyberpunk-style level with the flying cars & such.... I've spent so much time just staring at the details in the environment. The skies are just chock full of traffic & there is so much going on, it's truly like nothing else I've ever seen in gaming. It's the one game that I really couldn't ever imagine running on last gen, it's something that really has shown me what is possible this gen.
It's a really easy game & nothing groundbreaking, it may be "short" but it's the one game that has consistently blown me away & made me excited about the future of the hardware. It's the game I will show my friends what the PS5 is capable of.
Re: Game of the Year: Jamie's Top 5 PS5, PS4 Games of 2021
@JamieO wow, those are real trophies?! Kudos to you for getting them but those are really, really overboard especially for bronze. I can't imagine how ridiculous the silver & gold trophies are.... or what percentage of players that get them & the platinum are.
Re: Game of the Year: Jamie's Top 5 PS5, PS4 Games of 2021
To the people saying that they are worried about buying a Ratchet & Clank game because it's only 20 hours or whatever..... I had no problem paying $50 for it. Because for me, it's quality over quantity. Same with Metroid Dread. I'll happily pay for a shorter game if the quality of the hours spent in it are so high. But if you'd rather play something that's longer but a little watered down, then I understand.
Re: Game of the Year: #5 - Psychonauts 2
It's been sitting in the backlog since it went on sale during the Black Friday PSN sale. I plan on starting it after I finish Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart & Astro's Playroom. Though kinda weird it's PS4 only game but it still looks pretty great graphically. The art direction & aesthetic is top notch....it really should've won for that at the Game Awards.
Re: Game of the Year: Best PS5, PS4 Remake, Remaster, or Re-Release of 2021
If you think a PS5 upgrade is just a "60 FPS" patch, I feel like you've not played them. GoT is a new experience after I switched my save file over to PS5 last night, it's not a different game but it's a different experience. The haptic & adaptive trigger implementation of the dual sense, the 3D audio, the 60 FPS, the cut scenes being real time, the reflections & shadows, the lack of loading screens, it's just.... It's very different, as someone who just began playing it on PS5 after playing up until Act Three on PS4 Pro. It's not just a 60FPS patch, if you just want a 60FPS patch then you can play the PS4 version on PS5. It's a true PS5 game now.
Re: Push Square's PlayStation Quiz of the Year 2021
15 for me, eh decent. I missed a ton of the first dozen just because I didn't really pay much attention to news until this summer when I started preparing to find a PS5.... I pretty much got the last 10 all correct.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Xmas Edition
So I finally got a PS5 on Christmas eve with my Christmas bonus from work! I ended up paying a local scalper $750 for it which.... I know, don't judge me.... But I'm so happy I got it. It's like my childhood all over again.
So I got Deathoop, Returnal, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, Stranding Director's Cut, Spider-Man Remastered, Guilty Gear Strive, and a bunch of games I can upgrade whenever I finish these. I've played some Returnal & Spider-Man just to check out the ray tracing & such. Great system but the home screen leaves something to be desired, PS4 with themes, folders, and custom organization was much better, but I do like the library integration & the fact I could just plug my PS4 4tb HDD straight into it.
Best Christmas in years! I don't think I've ever gotten a console this early into it's life cycle! Merry Christmas everyone & hope yours' is as great as mine!
Re: 10 PS5 Things You Should Do First This Christmas
I got a PS5 on Christmas Eve!! I got a Christmas bonus from work & I bought it from a local scalper off Facebook marketplace of all places for $750, I met him at a Starbucks & tested it on a portable monitor there to verify it worked. Yeesh it was expensive...I know but it was worth it...it's like my childhood all over again, getting a console for Christmas. I'll make some of it back from selling my PS4 Pro & accessories but next thing I really want to get is an SSD to expand my game storage.
I'm super excited though, first thing I booted up was the Matrix tech demo. I've got a bunch of games I can upgrade for free, then I bought Returnal, Death Stranding Director's Cut, Ratchet & Clank, and Deathloop so I can experience the PS5 exclusives. I thought about Demon's Souls but I'm scared of FromSoftware heh.
Merry Christmas everyone! I hope some of you are having as wonderful a holiday as I am!
Re: Talking Point: What PS Plus Games for January 2022 Do You Want?
Ni No Kuni 2
Scarlet Nexus
Dragon's Dogma
Observer
Nier Automata or Replicant
Immortals Fenix Rising
Dead Cells
Watch Dogs Legion or 2
Yakuza 3, 4, or 5
Judgment
Days Gone
All of these games are games I kinda want but haven't bit on and I'd be quite happy with any of them. Anything that's well regarded & well made for what it is, I'll be happy with.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 406
Started GoT Director's Cut and it's very pretty looking... story is good, combat is fun, I'm liking it.
Maybe some more Persona 5 Royal, I'm in June now.
I also got an Oculus Quest 2 because I wanted something for Christmas and I can't find a PS5 or X Box Series.... I've been playing Resident Evil 4. It's pretty amazing, I can't wait until this technology gets further along. It'll be fun.
Re: Poll: What Is Your PS5, PS4 Game of the Year 2021?
My top five were Mass Effect, Guardians, Tales of Arise, Village, and Psychonauts 2. Death's Door was a close one.
I also liked GoT Director's Cut but it's really a game from last year. I didn't get to play any PS5 exclusives as I don't own one.
I also liked Hades & Narita Boy but played them on Switch.
Re: PS Now's December 2021 Update Includes GTA, Final Fantasy, John Wick, and More
Definitely downloading FFX and X-2....
The GTA timed thing is ridiculous. Especially with the state of it.
Re: New BioShock Set in a Fictional Antarctic City in the 1960s
My real takeaway from this article is that I'll now be listening to Sacred Symbols.... always looking for more podcasts to listen to at work, after seeing the praise for it in the comments, I'll be checking it out. Thanks guys!
Re: New BioShock Set in a Fictional Antarctic City in the 1960s
I like BioShock, particularly the first game & loved the setting. Never played Infinite despite some interest. So I'd definitely play this, the setting doesn't sound all that intriguing but I'll wait to hear more about it.
Re: Reaction: Merging PS Plus and PS Now Makes Sense, But an Xbox Game Pass Competitor Can't Be Half-Arsed
I don't need something that's the equivalent of Game Pass but it would be really nice to have something comparable. I won't lie and say I haven't been tempted to make the leap & get a Series system just to give Game Pass a try. If Sony had something even comparable, it might stop that temptation from lingering in the back of my mind. Plus, I really wish I could use the X-Box style controller on my PS system, I love that design.
Re: Poll: Are You Happy With Your PS Plus Games for December 2021?
I mean.... they're okay. Could be worse. It's not a golf game & it's not something boring like First Class Trouble. Mortal Shell seems okay. Godfall would be cool if it's wasn't endgame stuff. Lego DC would be okay especially if it's local co-op but I don't think it is.
