I have been purposely buying physical copies of PS5 games for the last few months. And I almost always give Sony the business instead of my Series X as of recent. I just do not like the way Microsoft has been doing business so I simply vote with my wallet. I picked up Metal Gear, Mafia and Borderlands 4 within the last month. And I'll buy a physical copy of Silent Hill F later this month.
I played this game 20 years ago, on my Xbox 360, when I was 15. No reason in 2025 to play this on my PS5 Pro because it was remastered. lol. There are WAY too many great games to play that are new. Currently playing Mafia, RE4 remake. Metal Gear comes out later this week. Then it's Borderlands 4, Silent Hill F............just to name a few.
It's hard to get excited over a near 20 year old game (Gears of War) that I played on the Xbox 360 back in 2006. And it's not even a remake, it's a remaster. Honestly, does anyone even care about this? lol.
Nice that the PS5 gets a physical copy of this game. Meanwhile, the company that made the game isn't going to release a physical copy for their own console. Sorry, but I'm on a Microsoft rant these days. I'm a Series X owner and PS5 owner, but I'm not happy with a lot of Microsoft's gaming decisions lately. So, I've been voting with my wallet. I haven't touched my Series X in a few months and will continue to purchase any games that I can for my PS5 Pro.
I played this on Game Pass when it came out. Honestly, I thought it was trash. Finished it and I struggled the whole way through. When it came out, Microsoft said it was not able to get it to 60 fps, only 30 fps. Now, miraculously, it comes out for the PS5 and it's at 60 fps. Microsoft is pathetic.
I want to pre-order a physical copy for my PS5 pro, but I'm afraid it's going to be bad. It has "this story makes no sense at all" vibes. Reminds me a bit of Sworn. Hope I'm wrong.
LOL. Microsoft is pathetic. I have a Series X, but my PS5 Pro is now my favorite console. All the best versions of Microsoft's games ultimately are coming to PS. Just wait it out to get the best version.
Played it on Game Pass. Horrible game. Literally walked around slowly for six hours. Also, Microsoft is pathetic. It's now getting a physical copy because of it coming to PS5.
After playing Doom Eternal, I told myself that I would not play another Doom game until they made it a bit easier and not as chaotic. From reading this review, it seems like that's exactly what they did. I'll be checking this one out on Game Pass.
I have both a PS5 Pro and Series X. I played this game on Game Pass when it came out last year. How is this "even better" on the PS5? lol. I highly doubt that. I mean, I have to spend $70 to play it on my PS5, but it's included on Game Pass. And I'm sure the slight visual improvement cannot even be seen by most. Also, it didn't review as well as the Xbox version.
What you mean to say is "claims of an Xbox remake of oblivion that will be ported to the PS5." Back in the day, this was a 360 game that eventually made it's way to the PS3. And now, Microsoft owns Bethesda. And it's going to be on Game Pass. So........lol.
I keep seeing Youtuber's say that the combat is incredibly frustrating. Often times, losing a few hours of progress due to being randomly attacked by enemies and dying. Has anyone encountered this?
The game was trash before it even came out. Not surprised about this. No one I know is playing this. Let's hope that Avowed doesn't follow in it's footsteps or it will have the same fate.
Was going to pre-order until I realized it's day one on Game Pass. Looks good, but I prefer the Doom 3 style game. Story based and more survival horror compared to run and gun.
It really depends on the individual. Do you think you would find $100 of value in a game like GTA 6? If so, then yes. If GTA is not your thing, then no.
Sony has mastered the art of Triple A single player games. No doubt. Microsoft has mastered the art of online live gameplay through first person shooters. No doubt. Nintendo laughs at both, drops a Mario game and everyone plays it. My advice, everyone stay in your lane. Do more of what works.

Re: Mafia: The Old Country on PS5 Was an Offer PS Store Shoppers Couldn't Refuse
How is GTA still high up on the list? Man, unbelievable.

I picked up a physical copy for my PS5 Pro. Going to start it soon. I'm especially excited because, believe it or not, I've never played the original.
Re: Sony Opens Up Ghost of Yotei PS5 Console, Accessories Pre-Orders Next Week
Very nice looking console, but I just got a PS5 Pro not even a year ago. Still might get a controller though. Love the artwork.

Re: Xbox Open World STALKER 2 Goes Above and Beyond with PS5 Exclusive Features
@mvhess I remember when SH 2 was coming out last year, I saw the same thing in reverse "Playstation's SH 2". TImed exclusive as well, supposedly.
Re: PS5 Price Increases Confirmed for USA, Effective 21st August
@UltimateOtaku91 Who's that? The man who is trying to bring businesses back to America? Yep, thought so. Thank God.
Re: STALKER 2 Locks in PS5 Release Date for 20th November
This was horrible to play on Game Pass. I'm sure it will be flawless on the PS5 though. That seems to be the norm nowadays.
Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Will Go Up Against Battlefield 6 from 14th November
I'm sure Battlefield 6 will be good, but comparing it to Black Ops 7 is silly. Numbers don't lie. There is no competition between the two.
Re: Remedy Knuckling Down on Control 2, Max Payne Remakes
Max Payne 1 and 2 and Splinter Cell - all getting remakes. Cannot wait.

Re: Rumour: Xbox Exclusive Starfield Is Getting Some Hefty Gameplay Reworks for Its PS5 Release
Tried playing it on Game Pass. Horrible game. I stopped after about six hours. Looks great, but horrible game.
Re: PS5 Is the Only Console with a Proper Physical Copy of Cronos: The New Dawn
I want to pre-order a physical copy for my PS5 pro, but I'm afraid it's going to be bad. It has "this story makes no sense at all" vibes. Reminds me a bit of Sworn. Hope I'm wrong.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 590
Just finished Until Dawn remake. Great game. Now playing The Last of Us remake and Robo Cop Unfinished Business.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 2.3 Showcase Announced for Tomorrow
This looks great on the Series X. I imagine it looks better on my PS5 pro though.
Re: Interview: Out Today, Ready or Not Is the Modern, Relentless Rainbow Six: Vegas for PS5
The trailer looks very interesting, but also looks like a very frustrating game as far as difficulty. I'll pass.

Re: You Can Now Launch First-Party PlayStation Games Through the Xbox PC App

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 585
Oblivion for me.
Re: Sounds Like Switch 2 May Have Obliterated PS5's Launch Record in France
I mean, it's Nintendo. No one should be surprised by this.
Re: Hellblade 2 Finally Getting Physical Edition on PS5, Courtesy of Limited Run Games
Played it on Game Pass. Horrible game. Literally walked around slowly for six hours. Also, Microsoft is pathetic. It's now getting a physical copy because of it coming to PS5.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing DOOM: The Dark Ages?
Yep, playing it on Game Pass.
Re: UK Sales Charts: Expedition 33 Parries the Competition to Claim Number One
"Almost entirely the PS5 version." That's because PS5 owners have to buy the game. Xbox owners can play it on Game Pass. Big difference. lol.
Re: DOOM: The Dark Ages (PS5) - Medieval Mashup Slows Down for FPS Excellence
After playing Doom Eternal, I told myself that I would not play another Doom game until they made it a bit easier and not as chaotic. From reading this review, it seems like that's exactly what they did. I'll be checking this one out on Game Pass.
Re: Gears of War: Reloaded Remasters the Original Game This August, Confirmed for PS5
Guess we can expect Uncharted or God of War on the Series X.
Re: UK Sales Charts: Expedition 33 Debuts in Second Place, Almost All Sales for PS5 Version
Of course 33 sold the majority of it's sales on the PS5, it's on Game Pass. No one who owns an Xbox is buying it because of that. Common sense. Lol.
Re: Indiana Jones and the Great Circle (PS5) - Globe-Trotting Adventure Just Got Even Better on PS5

@Americansamurai1 $0.00. Game Pass.
Re: Oblivion PS5 Remake Rumours Are Relentless, Claims of April Shadow Drop
@Damage99 It will be on Game Pass. So I'll play it on my Series X instead of having to buy a copy for my PS5. lol.
Re: Oblivion PS5 Remake Rumours Are Relentless, Claims of April Shadow Drop

Re: 12 Great PS5, PS4 Games At Their Lowest Ever Prices This Weekend
@Jey887 Robo Cop is a great game.
Re: PSVR2 Gets Enormous Price Reduction Starting March 2025
Around a 25% price cut. Not exactly an enormous price cut. I would try it for maybe $199.00. Anything higher is a joke.
Re: Bloober Team Partnering with Konami Once Again Following Silent Hill 2 Success
Yep, it's going to be SH3, which I will buy day one.

Re: HBO's The Last of Us Will Likely Run for Four Seasons
I was fine after one season. Guarantee it gets ridiculously silly after that. Four seasons? No way. Also, the main girl is real hard to look at.
Re: Round Up: What Was Announced During Sony's State of Play Livestream for February 2025?
A lot of these are coming to the Xbox. Not a lot of exclusives shown. Seems like Game Pass is the place to be right now.
Re: Rumour: Gears of War to Make PS5 Debut with Full Crossplay in Trilogy Collection
@Amppari Gears of war trilogy is four games? Doesn't trilogy signify three?

Re: DOOM: The Dark Ages Rips and Tears PS5 This May in Biggest Entry Yet
Was going to pre-order until I realized it's day one on Game Pass. Looks good, but I prefer the Doom 3 style game. Story based and more survival horror compared to run and gun.

Re: Reaction: Sony's Live Service Push Has Been a Disaster of Utterly Insane Proportions
Sony has mastered the art of Triple A single player games. No doubt. Microsoft has mastered the art of online live gameplay through first person shooters. No doubt. Nintendo laughs at both, drops a Mario game and everyone plays it. My advice, everyone stay in your lane. Do more of what works.
