You forgot about Dying Light: The Beast 19.9.2025

I caught up over the weekend. I sold the game today. Nice graphics and environment, overall good atmosphere. Quests and story nothing groundbreaking. Gameplay is the weakest part of the game. As a whole it's a mediocre game. I was glad it only lasts 12 hours. A rating of 6/10 fits the condition. I might have been a little more charitable and given it a 7/10.

Raphael wrote what anyone who can count 2+2 has long known. Or at least suspects.

HL had a nice castle and a pretty interesting battle system. But that game is really meant for casual players, and even then mainly for women and children. It's a boring simulator collecting thousands of stupid things with a stupid story. I don't understand the good reviews and sales. For me it was the worst game I played last year.

The Warhorse did not disappoint. KCD1 is my favorite game. The second part is also special for me because I will play it because of its authenticity in the Czech language which I understand perfectly.

I've been using the Sony Inzone H9 headset on my PS5 and now PS5 Pro for 2 and a half years. After previous experiences with Turtle Beach Stealth 700 and Steelseries Arctis 7 with which I was not completely satisfied, I found a headset that suits me 100%. If it breaks once and they still sell it I'll go for the Sony Inzone H9 again.

When I first saw the trailer for Outlaws I said to myself: this is what I want to play. I bought it on release day and had a great time playing it. It's not the game of the year, but I didn't mind. Anyway, Sabacc even with all the shenanigans is awesome. In the future when all the DLCs comes out I plan to play it again.

The list is growing nicely. I am optimistic about this. If PSSR implementation is as easy as they say, every developer should at least use a new upscaler if they want to extend the lifetime of their games.

@BrettAwesome I ordered my PS5 on September 17, 2020 at a local retailer just after midnight as the Sony Showcase ended. And I got my console the first day it was available here and that was at the global launch on November 19, 2020. That retailer also does a buyout of used consoles and gaming accessories and then resells those as used merchandise. In practice this means I brought my four year old PS5, in its original packaging, nicely cleaned. The technician plugged it in and checked it. It took about 10 minutes. He printed out a bill of sale and paid me cash actual purchase price and that was 300€. I'll do the same with the PS5 Pro when it's time. I've had that experience, you might have a different one. Everyone arranges as they know how.
Have a nice day.

When do you think the time will come when major new games will stop coming out on discs and the slow salami method will be switched to digital distribution? What will you do if you still have a giant collection of disc games? Will you keep the last available HW with a disc drive? I'm interested in this from a practical standpoint.

It's clear where this is going. I still have a disc drive for the PS5 Pro, but I won't be buying one for the PS6. I only have about 20 boxed games anyway, and I sold the rest. I've decided to go fully digital. I understand the pros and cons, but that's the way it is.

@ecurb7 You said it perfectly.

Let's do some math. I bought the PS5 on release day for 500€. I sold it last week for 300€. I'll buy the PS5 Pro for 950€ (with stand and disc drive). In 3-4 years when the PS6 comes out, I'll sell the PS5 Pro for about 500€. All in all, 7-8 years of gaming on decent and still up-to-date HW will set me back about 650€. Is that a lot or a little? I'm a completely average, unremarkable guy from Slovakia and I work as an ordinary warehouseman. But I don't need to cry.

Once I'm in the mood and it's on sale or on PS plus, I'll definitely play it. Right now I have tons of games waiting for me that I want to play sooner. I'm sorry for the creators because I love this genre. I don't understand how someone can write that they have nothing to play. I would need a parallel life to get everything done.

AW2 with both dlcs will be my first game and also a test of the new PS5 Pro. I can't wait.

I already have the disc drive on my shelf at home waiting for the PS5 Pro. I own about 50 discs. Trends being what they are, I have preferred the digital version for some time now. Unless of course there is too much of a price difference over the physical version. Physical media will end one day whether you like it or not. When switching to digital only, I want to keep it as seamless and financially acceptable as possible.

The 2 little games Monkey Island and The Devil in Me will definitely make my wait for the PS5 Pro more enjoyable.

It makes sense. You also have to look at what's happening in the PC segment. So far it looks like the future is RT, AI upscale, Framegen and various other AI postprocessing techniques. Maybe I'm a sheep but I'm looking forward to it.

As soon as they make a complete edition for the pro version, I'll gladly give them my money.

30th Anniversary looks nice. They could have made all the PS5 Pro's at Sony with this kind of treatment if they wanted to celebrate. At least they would have unplugged the scalpers from the game. I'll even be happy with a regular Pro. For me, consoles are consumables. A new one comes in and the old one goes away.

My favourite game. I'm glad they improved it. Since I have the memory of an aquarium fish, it will almost be like a novelty for me. I'll be happy to replay it.

I've seen the entire first season. I know it's a popular show but for me it's wasted potential. The game as a medium told this story better. I'll watch the second season, but I don't have high expectations.

We don't have PS Direct in Slovakia. I pre-ordered the normal Pro in the morning in our biggest online store. The order confirmation arrived in half an hour and the next hour the eshop was paralyzed.

Looks very good. Release date?
