I played Destiny 2 when it first released and then stopped for years.
I returned months ago when the legacy collection was $17 so that my kids and I would have a new co-op game.
It’s been a decent experience. Fun overall but also feels very dated. I doubt that once we complete the DLC in that bundle that we will purchase anymore.
I believe, unless it’s is really paying off for them, they need to move on.
If it was mobile only, I wouldn’t care, but the fact that it’s on PC and not PlayStation is just really freaking weird.
I’ve said it before and I’m gonna say it again. The PS5 generation is a good one, but it’s easily the worst PlayStation generation I’ve ever experienced. This just seems like a really bad joke.
With digital taking over, the sales have gotten worse over the past five years.
There’s a list of games that I want and I’ve got their sales prices memorized and for a long while they will go on sale repeatedly but it’s for the same price over and over. I’ve been at the point to where for these games there is a price that I want and if it doesn’t go on sale for that price, I just don’t get it.
That avatar game was a big example. A handful of years ago that game would’ve been on sale for $25 within a handful of months, but that game on my account stayed near $40 for well over a year, and now that it’s finally down to 20 I just don’t care anymore and I haven’t bought it.
@Max_the_German I get you. It felt like it was slow to start and should have picked up in the last year but it appears PlayStation scrapped a lot of plans and had to start over on a lot of projects and what felt like should’ve picked up in the last year didn’t.
I get the feeling that when the PlayStation six arrives that it’ll probably feel pretty disappointing because there will likely be more cross gen titles than there was this past gen.
Though I’ll likely get a PS6 day one because it will likely be affordable for me.
I agree, I feel like many studios are still struggling with their own engines and with engines like unreal engine five that it feels like there is still much more life in the PS five and the pro along with the series S & X.
If it was up to me, we wouldn’t be seeing new consoles until late 2028 at the earliest.
Many companies are complaining about a lack of sales but it doesn’t help their mission that there are many games that don’t receive their significant upgrades or patches until months after a game is released, so, that drastically reduces my interest in buying many games day one unless I’m very interested.
I was talking to my buddy the other day and it’s weird that we are 5 years into the PS5 generation and in regard to first party studios we are still mostly in the dark as to what they are working on. It’s a very disappointing experience.
Back in the day, we would’ve already had a show filled with previews of what’s coming.
Bend-???
Santa Monica-???
Bluepoint-???
Guerilla-???
Media Molecule-???
The other newer studios-???
I’m not stupid, I’m very aware of what most the studios are probably working on. I’m just saying we are five years into the system and it’s mostly silence when traditionally we would’ve had a handful of previews, trailers and reveals by now.
Granted, that stupid GASS push has definitely contributed to this.
@Wizpig17 the crazy thing is that I have not owned an Xbox since the Xbox 360 but I bought a series X 3 years ago due to I wanted to catch up on exclusives. I also have a friend that has never owned an Xbox and he bought one three years ago along with me for the games he has never played, the exclusives and for game pass, but with the changes that they’ve made with putting games on PlayStation we’re not buying whatever Xbox comes next. So they’ve definitely contributed to the loss of console sales in the future with the two of us.
Considering the direction they’re going Sony and Microsoft just go ahead and release a console together next generation.
I prefer exclusives because based off of 30 years of history, I think some of the best games have been exclusive. They had to be great to push the sales of systems and we’ve already experienced that a lot of games overall don’t take the risks that they used, but it is what it is.
Considering the direction Sony and Microsoft for going, they may as well just team up and make one console going forward.
I prefer exclusives because it seems like traditionally those have been some of the best games because they had to be to help push sales of the console, but it is what it is.
There were many of us that played the Uncharted multiplayers along with Factions.
If they would have kept adding in new levels to experience along with new cosmetics and emotes to purchase, possibly mixed into a battle pass, they would have insured a steady flow of income.
Multiplayer doesn’t have to be a huge living world and story experience. There are those of us that appreciate an expanded traditional experience.
This would have worked with a game like Motorstorm as well.
@SuntannedDuck2 Even if they were not from Sony studios, I would have liked to seen games that gave me vibes similar to: Motorstorm Pacific Rift, LBP, Resistance, Puppeteer, Little Nightmares, Reanimal, South of Midnight, Infamous, Bioshock, Sifu, Limbo.
The vast majority of what was shown did nothing for me. Games like No More Heroes and Journey don’t do it for me.

Re: Talking Point: PS6 In 2027 - How Do You Feel About Sony's Next-Gen Console?
The PS5 GEN has been a good one, but it’s the worst PlayStation generation I’ve ever experienced. It doesn’t even feel like it started.
For me it feels like the next Xbox or PlayStation shouldn’t be out until late 2028 at the earliest.

Re: Poll: How Would You Rate State of Play for September 2025?
Somewhere around Poor-Okay.
Saros, Wolverine, Crimson Desert and Chronoscript were the only games that interested me.
Also, all of the 2-D god of war rumors that I’ve been seeing for two months or so and then to see that controller was disappointing.
Re: Arc Raiders Wants You to Break Its Servers Before PS5 Launch
@SeaDaVie I plan on buying it day one. I was able to play it with my kids on one of the earlier betas and we really enjoyed it.
Much of the movement and gunplay reminded me of Factions.
Re: State of Play Confirmed for 3rd September, Deep Dive on 007 First Light
@TDHorizon The PS6 will likely be out at that time and the PS5 generation should be regarded as the worst PS generation.
People will misread that. It’s been a good generation in general, but when compared to previous gen’s, it’s the worst.
Re: State of Play Confirmed for 3rd September, Deep Dive on 007 First Light
Considering we are 5 years into this generation I was really hoping PlayStation would finally have something to show.
I don’t care if Jim with GaaS screwed them over. Being 5 years in and they still have nothing to show is very disappointing.

Re: Poll: How Would You Rate Gamescom Opening Night Live 2025?
Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t the Lord of the fallen and black myth both just launch in the last year?
If so, wouldn’t that indicate that those games are years away?
CGI trailers do nothing for me. Even if it’s from an IP that I absolutely love, seeing one of those trailers with zero gameplay do nothing for me.

Re: Innocuous Days Gone Tweet Attracts Xbox Fans Like Flies to Slaughtered Freakers
Throughout the years, there are always discussions how the generation has faired.
I believe it’s pretty safe to say the PS5 has been the greatest for every other platform generation PlayStation has ever done.
It feels like every time we get a piece of PlayStation news during this PS5 generation it’s what they’re doing for other platforms.

Re: PS Plus Essential Games for July 2025 Announced

I’ve came close to buying King of fighters numerous times and now it’ll be nice just to have it.
Re: Talking Point: Is It Officially Game Over for PSVR2?
Im a fan of VR. I owned the PSVR and Oculus from a few years back, but they released the PSVR2 to quickly.
I had a strong feeling because of this it was gonna fail, and they were basically going to abandon it, which is mostly been the case.
They should’ve skipped the entirety of the PS five generation for VR and brought it back a couple years into the PS6 generation.
Re: 'We Won't Make the Same Mistakes Again': Sony Reflects on PS5's Catastrophic Concord
It’s not that difficult.
There were many of us that played the Uncharted multiplayers along with Factions.
If they would have kept adding in new levels to experience along with new cosmetics and emotes to purchase, possibly mixed into a battle pass, they would have insured a steady flow of income.
Multiplayer doesn’t have to be a huge living world and story experience. There are those of us that appreciate an expanded traditional experience.
This would have worked with a game like Motorstorm as well.
Re: Days Gone Dev Reportedly Hit with Layoffs, Loses 30% of Staff

That’s a long time to go without a new game. That’s horrible.
Re: Poll: How Would You Rate Summer Game Fest 2025?

Re: Reaction: Sony Finally Understands the Assignment with One of the Best State of Plays of the PS5 Era
I thought it was mediocre at best.
I saw a poll on Twitter that had over 50000 votes with over half rating it either a C or worse.
For those of you that may not be familiar with that system, it ranks A, B, C, D, F with A being the best.
This highly positive article is shocking to me, but I’m not bashing those that enjoyed it.

Re: Mortal Kombat Fans Are Fuming MK1's Support Appears to Be Over
MK1 has added far more content, and much of it free, than Street Fighter has at this point.

I’ve played my fair share of MK1 and would be happy to spend more time with it, but I’m also happy if it’s time to move on.
