Anyone here got a Playstation 5?


Would you say it got better games than the Ps4? What do you guys think? Thanks

Current gen consoles literally make like 1-2 good games a year at most. I haven't owned a console since an Xbox 360. Get a gaming PC and don't look back.

Well I just don’t use it also for video games but also to connect Netflix, Hulu and Disney to my TV.

Anyone here got a Playstation 5?

I do. I might have posted micro-reviews about games here. Most recently:

Star Wars Outlaws

I didnt want to pay $70 to buy this game. Instead I just subscribed one month to Ubisoft+, ignored all the filler side-quests, and cancelled my subscription. I only experienced one bug: There was a cutcene where one of the characters was invisible, you could hear her voice and her gun was...

That's a though questión. Most games are still releasing with a ps4 versión.

If you already own a ps4, you might be better off waiting a few years until the announcement of the Ps6. If the Ps6 Is confirmed to be backwards compatible, you could easily skip the ps5 and save a few hundred dólars.

If you dont own a ps4 already, then the ps5 purchase Is not half Bad. There's aré a few great games only available on ps5 (and maybe PC)

The ps5 Pro got recently announced but I dont recommend getting one. You would paying hundreds of dollars more for minimal upgrades you probably wouldnt notice unless Its a side by side comparison.

Apparently they're also removing the disc drive. Terrible decision.

Just get a smart TV then or use your PC to use bootleg streaming services

I think Playstation and Xbox are slowly but surely pushing towards an "Only Digital" future (and my guess is Nintendo will eventually go that route as well, but less aggresive about it). This is one of the many new trends that is not very popular by consumers.

Not only do they want you to forget about physical copies and go all digital, some companies like Ubisoft even go a step further and dont event want you to own the digital version. "You should be comfortable not owning the game. Just pay my monthly subscription for the rest of your life and pray I never de-list the game form the online store".

But we know to them its all about money. They dislike physical copies of games because you can re-sell them and they dont make any money from that re-sell.

Another trend is the Games As A Service (GAAS) or "Live Service Games". Fortnite and Call Of Duty Warzone are some successfull examples and as a result every other company is trying to get a piece of that pay. But the good thing is consumers are voting with their wallets. Warner Bros / Rocksteady created a beatiful Arkham Trilogy before trying to go GAAS with "Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League". They spent like 8 years doing that game and most people hated it (I didnt completely hate the main campaign but the post game is terrible). But wait, what was Warner´s most recent success in video games? Ah yes, Hogwarts Legacy. Consumers will take a good single player game over a mediocre live service game every time.

Most recent example would be Sony´s Concord. They spent 8 years and hundreds of millions of dollars on a LGBT Woke Live Service Game that nobody wanted, apparently not even the LGBT Woke community. Its like they said, "Lets combine Overwatch with Guardians of the Galaxy and make it Inclusive for a modern audience....yes, yes...This is the future of Playstation". Nobody played or bought the game and it got delisted after a couple of weeks. This is possibly the biggest flop in the history of Video Games.

Another trend is too many unnecessary remakes or remasters of new games. Remaking or remastering PlaySations 2 games, Gamecube Games, Wii games, The Oringal Xbox, or games before that time? Totally on board. But what we are seeing a lot is you have a Playstations 4 game that already looks better and runs better on ps5, and it gets remastered anyways.

The worst offender is Naughty Dog with their The Last of Us franchise. They released the first game on ps3 and later remastered it for ps4. At the time it was acceptable because ps4 is not backwards compatible with ps3. But later they made a remake for ps5 wtf? The second game released on ps4, already runs and looks better on ps5, ah but its getting a remaster for ps5. Most recent example is Horizon Zero Dawn. Game released on ps4, runs and looks better on ps5 but again, its getting a remaster for ps5.

There are many more trends we could discuss, but these ones seem to be the most annoying ones atm. Hopefully, consumers keep voting with their wallets and the future of the indsutry gets better.

Good god, Sony nowadays just want to shoot themselves in the foot. But really though, why an LGBT game?

 

[Dr.Suave]

Toxic Positivity. During the development of the game, they were not allowed to say anything bad about Woke stuff up to and including LGBT stuff.

Similar thing on other forums outside SoSuave. I was quickly banned from a Legend of Zelda community website for speaking my mind about "trans" people in their "Anything Else" section. Seems most forums outside SoSuave have at least one "trans" member, so if you post anything remotely negative you end up being banned for being "trans-phobic".

I miss the days where video games were usually the safe haven from left wing propaganda. I forget what year they've basically kickstarted that off though.

Probably 2018 with the release of Celeste

You sure it wasn't before then? I would like to think sometime around when the PS4 first officially released here in the US.

Maybe one of Sony's walking simulators? If The Last of Us II is the pinnacle of left wing propaganda the maybe it started with The Last of Us I?

I do remember hearing about this during that time.

 

[Dr.Suave]

I did enjoy the gameplay of The Last of Us. The propaganda probably went over my head at the time.

I haven't played it. Always thought it was all hype.

Its not half bad. I wouldnt spend more than $19.99 on it but you could try it.

Thanks for the advice, heh. I'll wait for the next deal.

What consoles do you have? What kind of games are you into?
