I have been debating this amazing game for long enough. I've doubled down on Horizon Zero Dawn, Days Gone, and God of War on my steam deck after loving the PS4/5 versions. Spiderman has just popped up cheap on LOADED.
I have yet to be let down by a PSN Steam Deck verified game.
@REALAIS Not even close to what I was saying. Sales wise is great, been a PS guy since 96 and seeing it beat PS3 is good. My 60gb ps3 is still going. I'm just a little unsure that PS5 has ever met expectations. My day 1 box is still hammered by all of us but mainly PS5 games that are also on PS4. It's only just being released on its own in the wild without games going PS4 too holding it back. I'm not being negative, just my observations. Being released in a global pandemic hasn't helped.
Ps5 to me is just a ps4 in different clothes. It's not done enough on its own yet, ps4 owners still not wanting to make the jump. Something to be said for stopping backwards compatability. Not that I want that removed... heavens that would be awful.
As an Elite Dangerous Commander I was very intrigued when I first heard this, less so when it was reviewed but my fondness of fallout mixed with space won't go away. It isn't cheap enough on PC yet to make it worth a punt.
@Maverick85 60 fps for me.is fine. My pc only has a 1080 monitor on purpose but can run into 150 plus fps. I really can't tell. But I believe the playstation 5 can still have better games if they'd left ps4 years ago, I'm no programmer but I remember what happened when ps3 was left behind. I work on big marine engineering and leave micro stuff to the gurus. And enjoy what I can.
I've got a day 1 ps5 with a 1tb ssd and a 4tb external for ps4. More than I know what to do with and m.2 ssd are on the cheap end now anyway, unless you want the brand badge.
Changed my perception on what games were about to become. I remember my mum dissing destruction Derby as you could see the road joins. The first GT, and having to brake! Pandemonium's scale when zooming out. But my faves remain tekken 3, soul blade and Discworld 2. And a fond remembrance of RR T4.
It won't come out then either. Ghost will have been out, finished by millions, released on to steam for millions more and rockstar will still be raking in gta 5 online, with no release.
I don't know why I have it, I stopped playing online a while ago on PS. The games are a bonus but I play less as I get older. I do share the ps5 with the kids and they get the money out of it I suppose. Only ever had game pass or xbox gold I think it was on 360, and only then when you got a free month.
30, maybe 35 years ago I'd have bought two or three. But I'm still happy with a ridiculous backlog. And after spending 5 hours in the flipper museum in Budapest this week I'm back on pinball arcade Attack from Mars which is no longer available as a Bally table. Oh and I've bought the Thing remastered to play. Gaming is good.
Cold Fear was a curiously good game, have on steam deck and played again. I am alive was a great premise and enjoyed it. Nice to see new lease of life in them both.
Bit of a weird one. We were keeping Mincraft and Call of Duty. So never porting. And they have billions to recoup from their take over anyway. I have forza 4 on steam deck so know I don't need another map of icons in my life, the rest will be bargain bin anyway. There's no Mass Effect moments there for me. Bough a 360 for it. 😁
Regina had some daft outfits. Was Janky as hell but Dino Crisis still needs a comeback. Costumes have a mixture of Ripley, alien, and resident evil films. If the game works then I'll buy.
It's the best assasins creed game but without the moniker. It plays sublime, has great tempo, upgrade paths, still plays better than most new games. Love it.
I only buy a few games, and now having a PC too I seem to have bought them again. So a game has to tick what I want to play and a single player approach is exactly it, Tsushima has been beaten to platinum on psn(PS4 and PS5) and all achievements on steam. It shows that when done right a single player experience is still achievable. Witcher 3, Cyberpunk, eventually, GTA4, RDR 1&2, inFamous. Cat nip for the oldie. There are many more I know but can't just list em.
Back in the good old days of C64/Speccy/MSX or ST/Amiga we had the same games across all platforms. So you pick a preferred platform, how it suited you not paying money just for a game. I still find it daft to this day.
One I have never played. Well, any of them tbh. There is a lot of misery against remasters and remakes, yet this one gets quite a lot of love and appreciation.
I might have to jump in but will wait and see. I have so many games now, and none are new, PS PLUS keeps my library so full its hard to justify which is another negative to subscriptions I suppose.
Have yet to play a live service game., unless Elite Dangerous counts. Am sure there's something that makes them interesting. Maybe I'm too old to understand.
I buy Terry Pratchett hardbacks in all their forms. I'm a sucker for it, my library is repeated but with various covers and designs. It's just the same sort of thing but for games. If that's your thing then why not.
The speed of everything thee days has to be a million miles an hour. The Gen X among us are still reeling from the likes of The Last Ninja and Monkey Island and Outrun. But lost in time as too retro for the post iPhone culture.
Just call me Mr sales, or 2nd hand, but games aren't that good, the best ones make their money back, the bad ones I don't buy. Bring back Codemaster copies at £1.99 a cassette.
Motorstorm, best madness multiplayer racing. inFamous 1 and 2, excellent start to a franchise which is lost to most. Resistance had 3 excellent games which have gone for most. There will be more but there's a start. Mainly original Motorstorm for me modernised. Loved that game.

Re: Talking Point: PS6 In 2027 - How Do You Feel About Sony's Next-Gen Console?
Did PS5 ever get going? Making games for PS4 far too long hurt this gen.
I've moved to PC and I always said the best game there was Word.
Re: PS6 Release Date Touted for 2027, Cheaper But Less Powerful Than Next Xbox
This gen hasn't even got going. They still release for ps4/5. Whilst I like my ps5, day 1 job, this gen still feels like it hasn't started.
