@SuntannedDuck2 I was there, wondering which handheld to purchase many years ago: PSP, VITA and 2DS/3DS were on the table. Spend time on research, checked available games, accessories and prices and I went with New 3DS XL.
And no regrets. Amazing handheld, incredible game library. Before they closed e-Shop I managed to purchase whatever was worth to purchase, all the must-haves that were unavailable physically. Still have it. Still use it. Whenever I am tired of big and time consuming PS5/XSX games I am just playing on 3DS to relax.
Right now, having to choose between PS6 handheld, Xbox handheld, SteamDeck and Switch 1/2 it will be Nintendo all they way. There is no sense to buy Sony/MS handheld since these games will be similar to PS5/6 and XSX games - big, open world, time consuming games for 100 hours that get boring after 20 hours.
Nintendo games may look more colorful, less realistic, but what Nintendo did - they did not follow the trend with power and realism, they deliver more relaxing, high quality games that give fun.
I can see a downgrade from Tsushima. Reusing world and object models should help them to improve their quality, not downgrade it. It just looks like a game my smartphone could run..
It’s ridiculous that a game for current gen consoles looks worse than Tsushima on last gen consoles. Either they share gameplays from some pre-alpha or they think we are blind.
Not to mention gameplay itself is nothing special.
Some guys laughed it will be DLC to Tsushima.
Apparently Tsushima was Definitive Ghost game, and this looks like Ghost Lite.
I can already bet it will sell ~30-40% worse than GoT. And we all see why.
Let’s be honest now. How well did Sony do their portable devices: PSP was the only one good, Vita support was poor, memory cards expensive, and Sony killed it. How well are they doing with VR/VR2? Similar approach, poor support.
Won’t pay them for PS6 Portable knowing they will kill it soon or later. Not to mention their exclusive games delivery is incredibly lacking and bad since few years. Sorry, for hybrid or portable consoles Nintendo won and keeps the crown.
@Max_the_German Origins is huge, nice story and you may finish it, very nice game. Odyssey is bigger than Origins, story is good enough, I liked it.. but it is too long. I would recommend to get Origins. Anyway - they both are discounted quite often so you can get Odyssey next time.
What did you expect for $200 for a set game+diorama+figure. Game alone is $70. It would be better quality if diorama+figure was for $200 alone. They went for cheap stuff.
Not so much. Like always, they add games that almost everyone already purchased on some -50% sales during these years. At least this month they add decent games. I went back from Premium to Extra, because Premium is so lacking. Extra is getting worse as well, if you have no idea what they will add next months you just need to check what games had poor sales, bad reception or are basically cheap these days, and you got a list for Extra in following months

Re: Poll: Are You Playing Metal Gear Solid Delta?
I will wait for them to release more updates and fixes. And for a price to drop.
Re: Form Your Own Opinion on Lost Soul Aside with Free PS5 Demo
Generic. FAR from what they promised. Won’t lie - not going to buy it, even on -60% Sale if it’d discounted.

Re: Cult Classic PS1 Adventure Fear Effect Is Suddenly Available on PS5, PS4
It might be something in 1999, but this did not age well.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 596
Witcher 3.
Played it after release, finished and after 10 years enjoying it so much. Updated graphics on PS5 + lots of new quests and stuff. Love it.
Re: Review in Progress: Lost Soul Aside (PS5) - Long Awaited Action Is Both Awesome and Awkward
If this was The Sims game I would say these negatives do not matter, but in this genre.. they do matter.
Generic, predictable story
Very dull characters
Various performance hiccups
5/10 is max, and very generous rating. They advertised something really great and delivered something very average.
Re: These 18+ New PS5, PS4, and PS Plus Games Are Coming Out Next Week (1st-7th September)
Cronos looks good, New Dawn looks scary and depressing, although the place they based it on looks really much better irr. Waiting for Silksong more.
