@ImGumbyDammit Thank you for explaining how flops work. I couldn't care less if this flops or not. It doesn't have any software that would get locked on it like the Vita if it does flop. It's allowing people more ways to play if they require it, which going by a poll on this very website that over 3000 people have voted on, roughly 25% said they would buy this. Including me. Really looking forward to getting this.
@Gamer_Guy if you restrict yourself from playing games that run at 30 fps you're gonna miss out on a lot of fantastic games. Some of the best games I've played the last few years were at 30 fps.
Only joined Playstation about 6 months ago so I'm mostly using it to play older games I missed out on. Most I've spent on a game so far is €10. Still have loads of older games to play through first so I'm not too interested in this conference.
Game of the Year for me so far. Loving it so far and I'm only about 10 hours in. Anyone who won't play this game because it's not 60fps 4K bla bla bla is missing out. Their loss.
@NinjaNicky no issue with waiting for games to go on sale. I do it all the time myself. There's very few games I buy day 1 anymore. Tears of the Kingdom will be a day one purchase for sure though.
@nomither6 some of the best games I've ever played are on Switch. I own all 3 current platforms, love all 3. The games I've bought full price were more than value for money. Put close to 200 hours into Breath of the Wild alone and barely scratched the surface of what the game had to offer.
I get people like different things and that's fine, but to flat out say that all Nintendo Switch games aren't worth it basically makes you sound like a 1990's fanboy.
@NinjaNicky "No Switch game should be over £40". Wow, what a terrible take. You've missed out on some of the best games ever made if that's your opinion.
I'm all for cloud gaming, love it. But having it tied to the console is a bad move. Just have it in the cloud like Gamepass or Stadia (RIP). Still wouldn't buy a dedicated handheld for cloud only though. My phone with a Razer Kishi is a much better alternative.
@thefourfoldroot1 Someday I'll take the plunge on VR for PS5. But not until the price comes down and it has enough games that interest me. As for the PS controller being "better", personally I prefer the offset thumbsticks of Xbox/Nintendo.Haptics on PS5 are great but so far only one game I've played uses it. Thats down to me though playing catch-up on old PS3 and PS4 games I missed out on back in the day.
@thefourfoldroot1 Added bonus is that I got my Series S for free. Then did the Gold to Gamepass Ultimate conversion trick and ended up with 3 years of Gamepass for around €120. So I've had a very cheap few years of gaming lately.
Xbox has become my 3rd party machine (mostly thanks to Gamepass) and I only picked up a Playstation 5 for the exclusives late last year. I pay for online with Xbox so this way I dont have to pay a monthly sub for Playstation too.
Seems to be getting decent reviews elsewhere. The perfect candidate for Gamepass, will tryit out over there. Seems like there's a good game in there. Just maybe not for everyone.
Just finished Hi Fi Rush last night. Amazing game, probably in my top 5 of all time.
So it's time to move onto something new. Next up is going to be TLOU 1. Never played before and gonna play it before I watch the TV show. Looking forward to jumping in.
@Nexozi For the first time in what feels like ages I'm actually finishing games lately. When I bought the PS5 it was actually kinda nice turning on the console and there only being 4 or 5 games on the dashboard. And I've finished 3 of those now.
@Nexozi I only got my PS5 3 months ago and have been working my way through a lot of PS3/PS4 games I missed out on. I haven't bought Ghost yet but it's on the list. Gotta finish a few other games first.
I have the Luigi one and it's great fun. Doesn't get used too much but it's so quick to setup i occasionally take it out for an evening to mess around.

People have been putting these practices in the spotlight for years. This is not a new thing.
Re: Baldur's Gate 3 (PS5) - One of the Greatest RPGs of Our Time
I'll be giving this a pass, not my kinda game. But it looks like if it is your kinda game you'll have a great time. Enjoy it everyone.

Re: Poll: Are You Sold on PlayStation Portal?
I will now be able to play Switch, Xbox and PlayStation on handheld. Great news. Day one purchase.
Re: PS Portal's Battery Life Aiming to Match PS5 Controller
@PlayStationGamer3919 just because it's not for you doesn't mean it's not for anyone else. People play in different ways.
Re: PlayStation Portal Is Sony's PS5 Remote Play Handheld, Priced at $200 / £200
Day one purchase. Excellent.
Re: Tekken 8 Adds New Single Player Mode, Avatar Creation, and Confirms a Bunch of Returning Characters

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 490

Gonna wait for Tekken personally but this does look great.
Re: Random: Thought PSVR2 Was Expensive? Apple's Vision Pro Is Here to Hold Your Beer
The Apple-Stans will be all over this. Ridiculous price but I've no doubt people will buy it. Apple sells.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 479
PlayStation and xbox remain powered off. Its Tears of the Kingdom all the way and will continue to be for a long time to come yet. Incredible game.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Street Fighter 6?
I'm more of a Tekken guy so not sure I'll pick up this. Maybe on sale in a year or 2.

Re: UK Sales Charts: Nothing on PS5, PS4, Can Compete with Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
Game of the Year for me so far. Loving it so far and I'm only about 10 hours in.

Re: Not Even Sony's Been Able to Avoid the Enormous Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Hype
10 hours in and loving it.
Re: Best PSP Games
Tekken: Dark Ressurection was probably my favourite game, but besides that this list is pretty good.
Re: Soapbox: I No Longer Think Subscriptions Like PS Plus, Xbox Game Pass Are the Future of Gaming
Personally I'm a big fan of Gamepass. Tried out some games that I probably wouldn't have otherwise because they were there and ended up loving them.

@TheGrizMan I made my comment in January. Before christmas they were tough to find. I agree it is much easier now though. Thankfully.
Re: Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty (PS5) - Excellent Action RPG a Must Play for Masochists
Never played a Souls-like but given it's on Gamepass I'll try it there without having to drop cash on it. Looks cool.

Can see me picking one up in like 5 or 6 years when the price is a bit less mental.
