Re: Poll: How Would You Rate State of Play for September 2025?

Best showcase of the year. Saros is my most anticipated game of 2026 and now I'm hyped for Wolverine as well. Nioh 3, Code Vein 2, Deus EX Remastered are also on my wishlist. I'm really excited about 2026, tbh

@PuppetMaster i read some negative comments about this showcase (including a few from someone that is always writing horrible takes about everything, though i never interacted with this person and I never will) that made me roll my eyes. Some people are just miserable, i guess lol

Re: PS5 Pro Users Starting to Feel a Little Shortchanged After Poor or Absent Support

windxtravelerx

I never wanted to upgrade from my base PS5 and I'm glad i haven't. The difference between both consoles aren't as big as it was in the last gen, with both PS4 and PS4 Pro. Most games still run fine on base PS5 and the upgrades on Pro doesn't seem that substantial for me. Also, the price of the Pro is insanely high in my country, so that's another reason for me to just not upgrade. PS6 is around the corner, too, so it makes more sense to me to just save money and get a PS6

I think articles like this just illustrate what i think.

Re: Rumour: PS6 Will Have a Detachable Disc Drive, Much Simpler Design

I can't even think about getting a PS6 if Sony doesn't do something about their inflated prices on digital games (especially indies) on PS Store in Brazil. Why MGS3 Delta is costing 400 reais there but 350 reais on Xbox and Steam? Why Silksong is costing 60 reais on Nintendo and Steam (74 on Xbox) but 114 reais on PS Store? Outer Worlds 2 is costing 400 reais on PS Store and 300 reais on Xbox lol

And don't get me started on indie games. They're mostly overpriced on Playstation for no reason whatsoever. Their full price on Xbox is the price they have when they're on sale on PS Store, that's insane... and there are some very cool games that are not present on Playstation, like Loop Hero or Grim Dawn...WTF?

And I'm not even talking about the garbage asset flip scam "games" that Sony allows on their storefront.

i like my PS5 but I'm failing to see any advantages of having this console instead of a Xbox...or even a PC. There's almost no more PS5 exclusive games since they're all getting a PC port. I'll definitely gonna keep an eye on Microsoft and gaming notebooks in 2-3 years. I can still use my PS5 to play indie and 3rd party games for a long time, since it looks like console gen will extend beyond the usual 7 years

This is probably going to be my last gen with a PlayStation console, after owning all 5 Playstation machines, unless they reduce the price of their digital games and put a bunch of interesting PS6 games that won't be on PC eventually, otherwise i might as well jump ship and get me an Xbox (especially now that they're going PC-console hybrid style with multiple storefronts from PC) or just a PC, even though i hate playing on PC because of how unstable or outright broken some ports are

Re: Poll: Are You Playing Hollow Knight: Silksong?

@BecauseBecause no, that's OK. I was informing you rather than criticizing you. And yes, anxiety can be quite bad as well. Some people have a really bad case of anxiety, while others have what we call GAD (Generalized Anxiety Disorder), which is my case. The issues i have (OCD, GAD, Depression and SPD, which in my case is a very low tolerance for loud noises) are comorbidities of my autism, that's why i have so many things at once

If what you have doesn't affect your daily life, then you shouldn't worry about, but i would advise you to seek professional help to maybe treat this anxiety if it's still bad. The medicine I'm taking helped me a lot, and when i have a very serious case of severe anxiety i have an emergency antidepressant that cuts down my anxiety and makes me sleep.

Anyway, i really hope you're doing better now and i hope that at least what i said helped you (or maybe an anon, who knows) to inform about these stuff. Mental Health is very important, after all. Have a nice day

Re: Poll: Are You Playing Hollow Knight: Silksong?

@BecauseBecause it's not OCD if you don't feel anxiety or any sort of panic if you ignore what your mind is telling you to do (like the trophy stuff you mentioned). OCD causes a lot of suffering and distress. Separating things by color or size (like you do with your games) doesn't necessarily mean you have OCD, sometimes it's just you organizing things on your own way and you just feel a satisfaction by doing it.

Your behavior can be considered OCD if you feel anxious, impaired in your daily life or forced to do whatever your mind is telling you to do (organizing things or playing games until you get all trophies, for example), otherwise you won't feel a sense of inner peace and you'll start to crumble, have repetitive thoughts about the thing you just ignored and so on. Since i don't know if you're diagnosed with OCD, I'm just making a very superficial assessment while trying to answer your question

Source: me, who has OCD, depression , anxiety disorder and autism, and take medicine to keep my suffering at minimum, but gladly, my OCD doesn't involve getting trophies in games

Re: Poll: Are You Playing Hollow Knight: Silksong?

windxtravelerx

Update: not gonna buy this game on PS5. They put the game up on the Store with one price and then they removed it and put the game again but more expensive than it was before. Silksong on PS4/PS5 is more expensive than any other version of the game on any other platform here in Brazil. Steam, Nintendo and Xbox all have WAY more affordable prices than PS Store. I'll buy this game on Steam

Re: Poll: Are You Playing Hollow Knight: Silksong?

windxtravelerx

I own HK on my PS4 since 2022 but never really finished the game, but i enjoyed quite a lot, so I'll definitely pick Silksong, i just don't know when. The only downside is that Silksong is insanely expensive on Playstation, way way way more than on Steam (Brazil). The game's price on Steam is very affordable, but since i prefer playing my games on console and since i don't own the first game on PC, I'll get this one on PS5

Re: Sony's Troubled Live Service Game Fairgames Just Can't Catch a Break

windxtravelerx

I hope it gets canned so Sony can learn a lesson. Also, a quick shout out to the three stooges: Jim Ryan, Hermen Hulst and Totoki, for being completely out of touch and for making a bunch of horrible decisions in front of all of us. But a special shout out to Jade Raymond, for still being around in the game industry, even though she can't really put out any decent game for a long time. That's quite a feat

Re: Rumour: PS6 Handheld Device Can Be Docked Like Nintendo Switch 2

windxtravelerx

Looks cool, but I'm not a huge fan of portable stuff. Apparently Sony is doing 2 SKUs right from the beginning, like Microsoft did with Xbox Series X and S, which is... weird, but i guess i would pick up the most powerful one, i just hope they don't bring a ***** Pro 4 years later.

Having said that, i still want to see what Microsoft will be doing with their next hardware. If they bring PC storefront to their machine and if i can use my Steam account there...then it's bye bye Sony, i guess (if they keep porting their games to PC and if they keep raising the prices of their games in Brazil)

Re: Preview: The Outer Worlds 2 Doubles Down on RPG Gameplay to Great Effect

windxtravelerx

Gonna pick this up (maybe) when it's on sale on PS5. Price in Brazil is higher than the usual 70 dollars, for some reason (it should cost 350 reais, but it's costing 400 reais here). As for the game itself, I'm pretty sure PS will give the good ol' 7/10 because that's how things go around here. If it's a 8/10 I'll be shocked (I'm being sarcastic, of course, i don't care about reviews, i make my own opinions or read what gamers have to say, not critics)

Re: These 14+ New PS5, PS4 Games Are Coming Out This Week (25th-31st August)

windxtravelerx

Good week. I've got Gears for free since i already got Ultimate Edition on Xbox One in 2015, so I'll test the game on my PC, since i don't own a Series console

I played Shinobi demo and dropped before finishing it. Didn't like it. I still prefer the original game, which i played a lot as a kid, so I'll skip this one

A couple of other games got my attention here. For all criticism i have for this website, i think this kind of articles really help us to keep track of new games, since PS Store is filled with AI asset flip crap

Re: Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater (PS5) - The Best Version of an Undisputed Classic

windxtravelerx

Once again no mention of base PS5 performance or overall quality in the review. I'm glad Digital Foundry exists, though. It's clear to me that this game is far from being "smooth" in terms of performance, unless you consider constant 50fps or less smooth. Having said that, base PS5 has decent image quality and even better performance than the Pro in outdoor areas, so that's a pro (no pun intended) for me. Since this is another port from Virtuous, though, I'd rather wait to see if there's random crashes or something like that
