Obviously this isn't a popular opinion but I felt like the last God of War game lost my attention way faster than all previous entries. Kratos felt heavy and sluggish in the controls, Norse mythology has NOTHING on Greek Mythology and the selection of enemies left a lot to be desired. For what it's worth, I loved the Uncharted games but also despised both The Last of Us games for being too slow and boring.
This game is the reason I have been desperately trying so hard to purchase a PS5. The fact that I still can't find a PS5 yet is the reason I keep holding off on playing No Man's Sky. I can't even explain the torture this feels like anymore.
Too bad Zigguraut isn't releasing the masterpiece they purchased named Advent Rising. If they could somehow remaster that and fix the framerate issues that would be one of the best games in history.
When I can finally open a webpage and easily click "order" or walk into a store and buy a PS5 straight off the shelf, I will purchase and play this game. Sadly, the RE: Village Gold edition will probably be out before PS5s are easy to purchase.
I have to wonder how many people actually liked the MK movie, got online, saw a lot of people talking about how bad this and that was about it, and then decided to adopt the herd mentality. Same goes for Star Wars movies, etc. Seems to me that a lot more people would probably accept it and admit they enjoyed it if there weren't as many people telling them they shouldn't like it because of X and Y.
I remember when complete games used to be released physically. Now we mostly have nothing but companies releasing half-baked versions of games and patching them out with downloads that won't always be available (in theory) down the road.
I hope they can find a way to return to Greek Mythology with a fresh new twist. The Norse GoW setting was extremely uninteresting to me and came across as them trying to throw away all of the previous entries in the series in a disrespectful way.
This is not a Sony problem. This is an issue with the internet. Period.
Gamers are basically only now being subjected to the same things that toy collectors, shoe collectors, and thousands of other product based users have been dealing with for years.
Look at the bright side. There really aren't any system sellers out that require my money.
I'm almost convinced that the PS5 doesn't actually exist. With Chinese New Year almost upon us, it might be April or May before people can purchase one without a major hassle.
Unfortunately I've found it impossible to buy a PS5 for retail price so far. I've been on Best Buy in the US every single time it's went on sale and can never get to the "complete you order" part before it's sold out. Even when it's supposedly been up for sale for close to an hour (last week), it would never allow me to complete the purchase. Shame.
I wonder how much longer it will be before I can just walk into a store and purchase a PS5. I'm in no hurry, but wouldn't mind picking one up sooner rather than later.
I have such a huge backlog of games that I can't even justify buying a new console anytime soon. Also, I am still using my original SNES without a single hiccup since I opened it on Christmas Day 1991. I miss the simpler days.
If I put a PS4 disc (Ghosts of Tsushima, for example) in a PS5 will there be an update/option for it to be 100% identical in every way if that same game is released on a PS5 disc with, presumably, additional features like ray tracing, resolution, etc., that will not be accessible if put into a PS4?
Until Sony tells us exactly how PS4 games will work with PS5, I will be waiting. Will we be provided with a patch that completely opens the game up for PS5 or will we have to buy an alternate version/disc to get the best possible version once PS5 is out? That's what I want to know on this (and Ghost of Tsushima).
I personally don't care about all of the "hype" surrounding these reveals. It's not like the PS5 is some big secret that is coming out of nowhere. I would wager that most people want to know when they can buy it and how much it will cost. Nothing else really matters, in the grand scheme of things.

Re: The Uncharted Movie Trailer Is Finally Here
Tom Holland was a terrible choice. Andrew Garfield was also a much better Peter Parker/Spiderman.

Re: Latest PS5 Firmware Update Is Available to Download Now
Hard to believe it's been 8 months since release and these things still aren't being sold in stores.

Re: PS5 Is Probably Telling You to Charge Your Controller Way Too Early

Where is the “I’ll buy it when I can actually buy a PS5” option in the poll?

Re: Days Gone Director on Skipped Sequel: 'If You Love a Game, Buy It at F***ing Full Price'

Re: PS4 Owners Are Worried Their Games Won't Work if a Clock Battery Fails
Strange. All of my 8-bit and 16-bit games and consoles are still working like a charm in 2021.
Re: Cory Barlog Admits He Had 'No Idea' What He Was Doing When Directing God of War 2
I hope they can find a way to return to Greek Mythology with a fresh new twist. The Norse GoW setting was extremely uninteresting to me and came across as them trying to throw away all of the previous entries in the series in a disrespectful way.
Re: Take-Two Boss Believes Players Were 'Ready' for $70 Games
I am ready for $70 games; the Take Two boss was right.
I've recently been spending around $70 per game on several NES, SNES, and Genesis carts to fill out my retro collection.

Re: Round Up: What Was Announced During Sony PlayStation's State of Play Livestream?

I'm starting to think this year will keep me digging through my back log for quite some time.
Re: PS5 Stock Will Increase As Each Month Passes, Sony Hopes Situation Will Improve Quickly

Re: Mystery Metal Gear Solid Reunion Teases with 'Details Coming Soon'
Wasn't Metal Gear Solid just the NES game Snake's Revenge with a 3D perspective?

Re: Hands On: Best Uses of PS5 DualSense Controller So Far
Is the DualSense truly a game changer and more than what’s in a JoyCon or is it mostly marketing hype more than anything?
Re: PS5 Coil Whine Becomes a Concern for Some Early Adopters
I have such a huge backlog of games that I can't even justify buying a new console anytime soon. Also, I am still using my original SNES without a single hiccup since I opened it on Christmas Day 1991. I miss the simpler days.
Re: Here's Why DualSense PS5 Controller's Face Buttons Don't Have Their Iconic Colours
I hope they produce a classic, “PS1 gray” DualSense controller with the colored buttons.
Re: Sony Considered Raising PS5 Game Prices Beyond $70, Says New Report
Wait a month after the game is out and retailers will have it for 40-50% off. Happens all the time.
Re: PS5's Removable Panels Could Suggest a Highly Customisable Console
I want a set of (25th anniversary??) panels in "gray" to make it look like an original PS1.
Re: Talking Point: Are You Worried About the Future of Western RPGs on PS5?
From those studios, the only thing I’ll miss is Wolfenstein and Doom.

I will happily wait a month or two after launch to get these $70 games for 40-60% off like I've done with the last few generations.
Re: Poll: Has Xbox's Bethesda Buyout Made You Reconsider a PS5 Purchase?
The poll needs a PS5/Switch Pro combo voting option.
Re: Reaction: Why Hasn't PS5's Price and Release Date Been Revealed Yet?
Rumor has it the 4K Switch upgrade will be running petaflops rather than the pedestrian teraflops we've been hearing about for over a year. 😂
Re: Poll: Which Version of the PS5 Do You Plan to Buy?
I'd love a 25th Anniversary Edition in an original Playstation gray color scheme.
Re: Remember That Female Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart Character? She's Playable
Hopefully Ratchet jumps into the Resistance: Fall of Man dimension and we get a new story in that series as well.
Re: Ratchet & Clank PS5 Looks Like a Huge Leap Compared to PS4 Predecessor
I love Insomniac games! Oh, how I wish they would change their mind and give us a new Resistance game.
Re: Star Wars: Squadrons Has Cameos and Customisable Pilots, Two Multiplayer Modes Revealed
A solid single player campaign that never once makes me go online is the only way I’ll buy this. Otherwise, back to my GameCube it will be.
Re: Reaction: PS5 Reveal Event Plays to Sony's Strengths
What was with the music for Godfall? I found it completely out of place for the gameplay.
Re: PS5 Fans Are Panicking Over Backwards Compatibility

Jax plays an alto sax - tenor sax sound plays.
Re: There's a New The Smurfs Game in Development
I'd settle for the full, original cartoon run to be available to purchase physically.
Re: Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath Is a Story Expansion Coming Later This Month
Sheesh...back with the unfitting trailer music. I’ll keep waiting and eventually buy all of this on the disc for $29.99.
