Re: Talking Point: What Are Your PS1 Memories?

Those launch day PlayStation demos stick in my brain to this day. The T-Rex, Manta Ray, the rotating 3D shapes…pure memory overload. Also, the game demos! Kileak the DNA Imperative, Jumping Flash, and the super cinematic voiceover for Philosoma - “Can you Survive?” - sends a chill down my spine. That PS startup sound!
I could go on and on and then the first two games I bought with my own money were Battle Arena Toshinden and Warhawk.I sold me SNES and about 15 games at a pawn shop so I’d have the money to pre-order the PS and waited in front of Electronics Boutique with my mom in Wichita, Kansas for the doors to open so I could get my day one preorder go home and take over the living room tv for the weekend. I really miss those days!

Re: How to Pre-Order PS5's 30th Anniversary Collection

I've been on the PS Direct site in the US for going on 9.5 hours. I was through and my "spot in line was secured" then the site refreshed and kicked me in to the waiting room where is said "the line is paused". 10 minutes after the sale was supposed to happen, my waiting room message changed to "Your estimated wait time is: more than an hour" and hasn't changed for nearly 15 more minutes. This is maddening.

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Elden Ring?

20 hours in and I can truly say that I simply do not like Elden Ring. I can’t get into the story, the systems, the mechanics/controls, etc. character movement is odd, and it’s not as visually impressive as I had expected. I get a similar vibe from GTA games.

@OmegaStriver I also have an office in my house that is for work and I don’t use it as a place for entertainment. It’s called compartmentalization. My initial comment had a little bit of joking in it but it must not have come across in print.

It’s fine for people to use their PC for gaming. I, however, never have and never will because I spend my time using it professionally for work and absolutely want a complete disconnect from it when I need entertainment. My choice, my opinion yours is not wrong and neither is mine. I don’t want or need it connected to a tv.

I still cannot fathom ever sitting down at my PC to play games. I, conversely, cannot imagine ever sitting down with my Playstation to do work. I also still purchase albums and music rather than steal or stream it so maybe everyone can just get off my lawn and move along from my comment.
