@PercyChuggs I think most of us would prefer that. At least the attitude wasn't so crass about enthusuast hobbies that we all just spoke like some empty suit, ie "consumers." Sounds miserable. Games are better than ever but "hard-core gamers" have gotten to be such poe-faced sourpusses. Like spread sheets and algorithms are the only thing guiding this thing we do because it is fun.
Obviously the quality of physical goods wasn't up to snuff, and that part is on LRG...but these are not the most discerning people out there.
@PercyChuggs yet another braindead comment. Yeah. Gamers are enthusiasts, and people are big fans of things. Is this literally your first time?
@PercyChuggs so you have a PC, Sony is winding down releases there, and now you are here projecting because you don't get all the toys you want. Truly the savior we need.
@PercyChuggs if something is out of my price range and there's no way to get it otherwise, I just emulate it or move on. There's too many things I missed to get hung up on some white whale and spend a ton of money.
Also, you have been on this site for five minutes and already seem insufferable. That's impressive self-sabotage.
Looking more and more likely that I will be dropping out of modern gaming, again. I am having a better time playing small games and filling in the backlog. The other night I was cycling through my games on PS5 and just striving to feel anything at all. Pretty emo for a 44 year old giant dude with kids. But really. It's all too cynical and especially so when you remember the lies and BS that got us here, and how good we had it.
I mean sure? But the game should be Metroid Dread quality. It ain't that. Seems like Sony just stopped being weird and I don't know why. They're so boring now. I say it all the time here, but my PS5 is mostly for PS4 games. I also just don't sympathize with publishers crying about how expensive games are. I don't need raytracing,120 fps 4K. If they started producing PS2s again I would buy one immediately, memory cards and all. It's all about their drive to make a game that we never stop playing instead of creating something, releasing it, and moving on.
@Max_the_German I have a PS5 and a Switch but I don't really see them as competition. I would love to see Sony do a handheld that directly competed with Nintendo. They would definitely need to step things up and diversify.
The characters popping in ten feet in front of me is what took me out of the game. I just don't see the point of having giant crowds if they are constantly ruining the suspension of disbelief.
@AtlasLivesAgain I understand the argument that tearing down 4 and plugging it into the previous remakes' framework is hack, but they DID rework a lot of stuff.
I think both should have been available. On the other hand, I played them as they came out and 4 lost me, lol.
I think the atmosphere is wonderful, and the nihilistic tone is intriguing...but this is a Quake household, sir. I hope it does well, and wish there was single-player.
I still play this on my Retroid. It isn't perfect, but it's fun enough. The Donut mod is rad. The Simpsons were always at their best on Halloween, and Donut mod let's you play in the fall. That was enough for me to check it out.
The festival environment of this game is as off-putting as the "urban street" settings of other racers. I want nothing to do with a story about rising through the ranks to become a racing icon. In Wipeout or Daytona or Ridge Racer, you also play as a nobody, and I like that it stays that way. Things get less cringe.
@Northern_munkey eh dude I was only asking for specifics. I believe that you believe that garmerz feel entitled, I'm sure you could articulate how. I think "trust me bro" is a boomer answer, but at the end of the day, it's just games, so yeah have a day.
@Northern_munkey Yeah man I dont know that response seems myopic. I have had every Sony console, and the PS5 is almost exclusively used for PS4 games (and the kids with Fortnite, Goat Sim, Minecraft, Teardown, and TABS). I have more exclusive games on my Vita.

Shrug, looks pretty fun but this is a split-screen Quake household.
Re: 'This Should Be Illegal': PS5's Dynamic Pricing Roundly Criticised by Disgusted Sony Fans
@zekepliskin I suggest a Super Pocket. The Evercade carts are compatible, and come with great cases and manuals. It has been pretty great so far.

Re: Opinion: God of War: Sons of Sparta Is the Smaller PS5 Game Fans Want, and I Hope We See More
@SuntannedDuck2 you should be proud to be known by your length...
Re: Opinion: God of War: Sons of Sparta Is the Smaller PS5 Game Fans Want, and I Hope We See More
@Propaperpusher wow what an incredibly vapid take.
Your fault you bought a Pro. You got PSVR2 also, bro?

Re: These 10+ PS5, PS4 Games Are Coming Out Next Week (9th-15th March)
That Toxic Commando game sure looks like a lot of running backwards and shooting zombies...
Roadout looks cool.
Re: Mini Review: Scott Pilgrim EX (PS5) - Fans Will Be in Lesbians with This Fun-Filled Brawler
@shoeses lol I didn't even know there was one.
Re: 'You've Got to Be Joking': Street Fighter 6 Fans Rage at Slow Rollout of Skins
@Haruki_NLI what does that even mean, lol?
Re: 'You've Got to Be Joking': Street Fighter 6 Fans Rage at Slow Rollout of Skins
@Olmaz I wouldn't play a game that did that.
Re: Mini Review: Scott Pilgrim EX (PS5) - Fans Will Be in Lesbians with This Fun-Filled Brawler
@shoeses ...based on a graphic novel. So, you know, story.
Re: Mini Review: Scott Pilgrim EX (PS5) - Fans Will Be in Lesbians with This Fun-Filled Brawler
@Shaw_Brothers no one cares! Isn't that swell?

Re: After LEGO Horizon, Don't Expect Any More PS5 Games on Switch 2
I'm cool with it. Consoles need their exclusives.
Re: 'You've Got to Be Joking': Street Fighter 6 Fans Rage at Slow Rollout of Skins
The FGC's clownery knows no bounds.
Re: Poll: Vote for Your PS5 Game of the Month (February 2026)
I got Ball X Pit, so that.
Also, TMNT Splintered Fate is really good. I am shocked. Hopefully I can get the teens to play with me.
Re: Assassin's Creed Unity PS5 60FPS Patch Out Now
@MD305 how is the draw distance? I installed so hopefully it is improved. I like an underdog.

Re: There's Some inFAMOUS: Second Son in Control Resonant, Says Remedy
Second Son was my first PS4 game, and it still looks incredible.
Re: Assassin's Creed Unity Gets a 60FPS Patch on PS5 Tomorrow
The characters popping in ten feet in front of me is what took me out of the game. I just don't see the point of having giant crowds if they are constantly ruining the suspension of disbelief.
Re: FlatOut Fans, Take Heed: Spiritual Successor Trail Out Crashes onto PS5 This Week
Yup. Looks like a blast, and my lil dude loves Wreckfest.
Re: 'There Is Nothing to See Here': Dev Denies Fallout: New Vegas Remaster Rumours
@AtlasLivesAgain I understand the argument that tearing down 4 and plugging it into the previous remakes' framework is hack, but they DID rework a lot of stuff.
I think both should have been available. On the other hand, I played them as they came out and 4 lost me, lol.
Re: Rumour: Fallout Project, Possibly Remasters, Teased by Surprise Developer
I just hope whoever is remastering them understands how much fans adore these games. Nowhere near perfect, but none of my favorite things are.
Re: Rumour: Fallout Project, Possibly Remasters, Teased by Surprise Developer
@AtlasLivesAgain they could have done free-roam, they just decided not to. I personally wish both were included but prefer the arcade style.
Re: This Week's Nacon Connect Presentation Postponed Following Financial Troubles
Very annoyed that they bought up a bunch of devs a few years back...
Re: These 13+ PS5, PS4, and PS Plus Games Are Coming Out Next Week (2nd-8th March)

@AdamNovice skeleton warriors intro sound bite
There was the Saturn game, but we don't need to remember that.
Re: He-Man's Retro PS5 Brawler Looks Like a Lost Capcom Classic
@AdamNovice or Mummies Alive, Inhumanoids, Pirates of Dark Water, Cowboys of Moo Mesa, Silverhawks, Biker Mice from Mars, lol.
Re: Hands On: Marathon Is Dense, Demanding, and Drop Dead Gorgeous

Re: Mini Review: Tokyo Xtreme Racer (PS5) - Unapologetically Old School for Better and Worse
@SuntannedDuck2 I usually scroll from the bottom up, and I always know when it is you commenting. Know how?
Re: Mini Review: Tokyo Xtreme Racer (PS5) - Unapologetically Old School for Better and Worse
Love racing, but I really dont want to sit through a bunch of story BS.
Re: If This Marathon Trailer Doesn't Get You Hyped for the PS5 FPS, Nothing Will
@get2sammyb I think the response was more like "I can't be sold on this trailer either, because it is not gameplay."
Re: This Is the Next PS5 Gacha That's Going to Eat Up All Your Time
No. No it will not be.
Re: The Simpsons: Hit & Run Studio Returns, and Fans Are Hopeful for a Remaster

Re: Forza Horizon 6's Renewed Focus on Progression Casts You as a Nobody in Japan
@rjejr think that's Gear Club Unlimited 3.
Re: Forza Horizon 6's Renewed Focus on Progression Casts You as a Nobody in Japan
@MetalGear_Yoshi oh wow yeah I will never touch any game that does a roulette or similar BS. I appreciate the heads up.

Re: Roguelite Double Dragon Gaiden Is Quietly Becoming a PS5, PS4 Must Play
@Nintendough yeah. But how they made the character both Billy and Jimmy was a fun way to tie-in some Double Dragon lore.

Re: Incoming Xbox Boss Promises a 'Renewed Commitment to Console', and 'Hears' Fans on Skipping PS5
@Northern_munkey I wonder what unique entitlements you feel garmerz are espousing this gen.
Re: Incoming Xbox Boss Promises a 'Renewed Commitment to Console', and 'Hears' Fans on Skipping PS5
@Northern_munkey putting "exclusives" in scare quotes is precisely why my toilet is an XBOX.
Re: Incoming Xbox Boss Promises a 'Renewed Commitment to Console', and 'Hears' Fans on Skipping PS5

@Ainu20 that sounds rough. A lot of us are on the sane page here, if that helps.
