@Junghova Same here. I have been gaming since the Odyssey. The PS5, in my opinion, is the worst console Sony has released.
For most of this cycle it has only had remakes or remasters. That is fine for people that never played the games, but us old timers that grew up gaming, I feel we just do not care for those, because it is a been there done that.
I love gaming, and I have a HUGE back catalog on PS5/PS4 and Switch, so I will hold off on the PS6 so I can catch up on the games that I have not played yet.
'PS Portal Users Are More Engaged Than Non-Users': Sony's Hit Handheld Outperforms All Other Remote Play Methods
LOL!
How many MORE remote play methods are there for PS5?!?!?!?
This cracks me up as well
None of this is hugely surprising given the bespoke nature of the PS Portal – if you bought it, you probably did so for Remote Play – but as we alluded to above, it demonstrates how penetrative the peripheral has proven overall.
Sony should have never bought Bungie for the amount that they paid for them.
Paying 3.6 billion, without the Halo IP, and with only one IP to their name, Destiny, there is no way, in a sane world, that Bungie is even close to the value of 3.6 billion that was paid for them.
I thought it was a bad purchase then, and I still think it is a bad purchase.
@KoopaTheGamer This right here! Marketing is so easy to do now a days. All the developer has to do is make a video of actually playing the game while talking to other people involved in the game making, post it, let media outlets like....Oh I don't know....Push Square know about it, and it advertises itself. Or even, hear me out....Continually invite media to play your game, and it literally markets itself.
Marketing can be done by the developers at no cost to them. It is just about getting the product out there, and keep getting it out there. A perfect example is Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Sandfall did a great job of keeping media, and gamers, informed, at little to no cost for marketing.
I am Gen X
We are the entertainment generation.
I have seen corporate greed first soak into music, then movies, and now video games.
People that grew up in my generation seen this coming a mile away as soon as gaming surpassed music and movies, for in profit entertainment.
We seen the music industry fall prey to corporate greed, then movies, and now video games.
Not to say that there are not a lot of great independent art out there, it is just the nature of the greedy beast!
People talk about it as if it surprising..It is not surprising at all, when you have seen it happen before.
@nessisonett What do you mean, says nothing??? (SPOILER!!!!) Ellie went on a unrelenting mission for revenge for Joel, and it cost her the one thing that Joel passed down to her....Which was how to play guitar, which she loved and enjoyed.
When Abby bit off two fingers from Ellie's fretting hand, Ellie lost Joel all over again. Abby did not take that from Ellie, Ellie took it from herself.
The game is about how revenge can take more from you, than what you will get from performing it.
I was looking forward to this remake, and then I was looking forward to it, and then I was looking forward to it, and then I was looking forward to it again...I don't know how I am supposed to feel now.
@Shepherd_Tallon I want a Switch 2 as well. I am just waiting on a special edition console, and I am REALLY hoping that there will be a Metroid Prime 4 console.
OUCH!
I did not see a lot of promise in this game as it is just a cheaper looking version of games such as GOW, Vanquish, and Deus Ex.
I was really hoping for the best for it, but some upstarts just have loftier goals, than they do discipline.
I'm good. I only sign up for PS Plus when I need to play online for a month or two. I just signed back up for Monster Hunter Wilds, so when I am done with that, I will just unsub.
@Flaming_Kaiser The ending was perfect. Ellie went on a path of revenge and it cost her dearly. The ending shows that. It cost her her relationship with her spouse and adopted child, and cost her the one thing that Joel taught her and that she could have passed on to her child. How to play guitar. Losing 2 fingers on her fretting hand was just like losing Joel all over again. That is what I took from the ending.
The PS5 is nothing but a machine for chartering remasters and remakes to!!!!! Screw originality!
When gamers come back to look at history and gaming's declining fall, it will start with the PS5/Xbox S
Female Protagonist!
That is all that needs to be said to get the larger male game population pissed off about a game franchise going multi-entertainment.
It pisses very insecure men off when a female becomes a very large protagonist in ANY form of entertainment!

Re: Sony Speaks on Bungie Acquisition Disaster, Takes an 'Impairment Loss'
It is funny how everyone but Sony seen this as a disastrous move.
Bungie only ever had ONE....Count that....ONE...One hit under their belt and it was Halo.....Which did not come with the deal!
Sony buying Bungie, and especially what they paid for them, was the dumbest thing I have ever seen in my 40+ years of gaming.
