Its either my 12gb 4070 ryzen 7 7800x3d 32gb ddr5 rig and I only play at 1080 or PS5 original. I'll decide at reviews. It will run fine on PS5 I reckon.
It's very alive and extremely well used on my PS5, and then when I fancy I plug into my PC and play whatever Steam games I wish to play. I built my PC, which I'd wanted forever, to allow VR Sim racing and PS5 was never going to give it. (GT7 is no Sim) Even F1 games are now VR, ACC, Automobilista2, AC Rally soon enough, Elite Dangerous(space sim).
There may be a better VR headset out there, but is there one that's multi platform? And those who don't have one have no reference point but spout the usual dirge as always.
My original PSVR still works and games are still played via that too, albeit on a lesser scale.
Anyone else use it as a multi platform unit?
I may even splash out on the new steam unit, to be decided.
Prefer odyssey over origins. Valhalla has me hooked again on steam deck. No more mirage types please. Still so much history to cover and abuse in their very clever ways. Sticking with melee as main combat, I'd like the original story retold with all their new knowledge and tools.
I got used to a playstation controller in 96, it kinda stuck with me. That's why I play on playstation, it could have been xbox.. Strange reason I know. So gamers shouldn't be limited by their controller and console choice.
I see Witcher 3 as an adventure game. RPG was always the baldurs gate and fallout 1/2, almost a D6 required game. But we class games so weirdly now. Dragon age, RPG, Mass Effect, adventure. I think I see what they're saying.
Finally, a sensible point of view. My job, and many others, have taken me all over the world in a non glamorous fashion. PS5 disc games are the only way as you can't prove yourself on the net via sign in. Steam deck was forever turning my games off and signing in via vpn was a pain. Especially when your out.of range for 7 weeks. It's relative I know, but all my playstations have been all over and since 3 it's been difficult with digital, even the owned games.
It's bad, and unfortunate. I don't play them, never have. But never like closures of teams. It's brutal but to be honest, it's just another shooter, doing similar things. Looks don't win people (it helps) over, playability does.
Love a shed man video and still wonder if he can do it, why can't the boffins. And we know it would sell now. I'd have one with my steam deck no drama.
Free game declared a bit poop by real gamers is nothing new. Tried loads of free ones to see and not one has a hook that calls me in. No I won't give them money. Looks nice mind.
Love most things Ubisoft. There's always more to everything that push square reports on. You don't know, I don't know. I just hope the right outcome is reached for all. Shadows is proving a tad irksome, I prefer tsushima and Sucker Punch made a better game than Ubisoft.
Ridge Racer Revolution maybe. Why is premium so bad. I accidentally paid for it so kept it and the PS1 emulation is worse than any other I use, and unless you want to stream on a portal anywhere or watch movies that you can get anywhere else on other subscriptions, someone is going to remind me I can get 5% off but the price of the sub covers that. I do miss being able to play PS3 games, but not that much, because I have a PS3 upstairs and never use it...
Premium is pants, I pay my way have 3 kids and a grandkid.
I like how Rogue and Unity are connected, bit of a clever move there. AC did in a week from blockies, loved it. Ezio trilogy will always be a great moment in time but has been beaten. Origins, Odyssey then Valhalla in that order for the RPG, Valhalla being best. I loved Syndicate more than most but Edward Kenway will always have the best game. Yeah, i missed 3 out. Still to really get claws into Mirage and Shadows just feels a damp squib after GoT.
Damn, I knew it would be poop. I was hopeful of a Dino Crisis-esque romp. Even Regina had silly costumes way back when, but the gameplay was always, sorry still is, fun. Well still no new game for me, living off PS Extra again. 😂
6, 7. Does that count here. I dunno. Slop is food I got in many a naval vessel as I cross the Atlantic again. Slops is also a term used for clothing exchange, never figured out, slop comes out of the bucket if you push along the deck and it stops abruptly. Any of which holds more intelligence than the gen AI we are now paying for in more than 6 finger pictures. Go buy some DDR5 for me please I want to expand my pc. There's so much more explicit words I want to use, it's another thing we didn't ask for but in 10 years the 20 somethings can't live without. I didn't reread, errors are my own.
Got the alien load cell mod for my Moza peddles for Christmas, so am back onto sims. If only psvr2 was better supported it wouldn't now be plugged into steam for ACC and F1 25. That and the fact I went to Moza which won't work on PS5...
Why are "sales" prices still being talked about as a bargain. Steam is as bad, they aren't sales, they've all been at this price before. Don't believe the brainwash. I use cdkeys as it beats steam, but I haven't bought a PS5 game because of Extra in yonks.
Code Violet. I know it will be pump, but I rarely sit in front of a PS5 anymore and just want it to be dino crisis - ish. It won't be, everyone else can hang on for dear life on GTA6 while I'm chuffed with RDR at 60FPS. Most of that list looks expensively disappointing.
We, as a resi family, liked most of Alice's story, the finale was a disaster. But you had an action romp, which is what most are after. Deep back stories and melodrama are not really fitting for this. Big brazen umbrella, ludicrous genetic experiments, bangin.
It was my stick of choice for Elite Dangerous. Creaky and cheap feeling but worked well. If there are.more options coming, I'd definitely hold.out mind.
I buy less playstation games now but this gen has hardly started to move. Games were still being co-developed with ps4 until, well they still are I think. PS5 has not had any time with pandemic, all the delays that came with that to actually stretch its legs. Nope, won't be bothering like my normal Day1 purchase.
