I agree entirely on that as well! I mean, honestly, I played a souls game years ago, decided they’re not for me and haven’t looked back since. Likewise, with rare exceptions, I really dislike rogue-like games... so if I read about a game and see “rogue-like” in the description... I skip it. What I wrote above is for…

I totally agree. Too often in this and in other things, people make the argument “I wouldn’t use that option, so no one should have it”, which is insane. A game without a quest log would be terrible for me because of my life - I get to game in 15-30 minute spurts because I’m a dad of a young kid and have a fully time…

You can install the ps4 version on the ps5, sync the saves from the cloud and then export... but otherwise, you’re absolutely right, the bizarre save file wall is ridiculous.

Kamurocho will never be the same...

hey, it’s the closest thing to Japan I’ll probably ever get to experience.

I’m not convinced that quantum GPU they’re bragging about will actually yield 16k@120fps like they claim.

I’m not saying it would be a bad thing... I’ve just seen this kind of rumor mill going before and it turned out to be something completely different that everyone ended up being disappointed in because they were convinced it was something else.

It might be, I just happen to be mainly a gamer when it comes to following news on a certain topic - I don’t tend to do the same for my other fandoms, it’s just the way I am.

We gamers can be so ridiculous. In the absence of news, we seem to decide that there has to be something and then start making things up out of whole cloth and then get disappointed (at best) or even angry (at worst) when the stuff we made up in our heads turns out to be wrong. I include myself in this because I’ve…

why stop playing over that? you can ignore it entirely if you want. Of course, it would be a little more tricky without the Yakuza-mandatory yen printing game, but definitely not a requirement.

I mean, I personally prefer to do it alone, other people just ruin it for me...

I’m a little disappointed that most of this list is rogue-likes (a term that I personally believe is defined as a game that punishes you for wanting to play it) and games about capitalism - which I’d rather not have to think about when I’m wanting to have fun, I already know how much it sucks, thank you.

Yep, even cheap $20 earbuds connected to the controller work with it.

After using the ps4 and ps5 for many, many years (together - obviously I haven’t had the ps5 very long)... nothing has ever convinced me that the touchpad is anything more than an annoying gimmick. 99.9% of games I’ve ever played don’t do anything more with it than using as a giant “select” button, and the ones that…

No, the original plates were 49.99 - I checked my receipt.

To be fair, the black plates I got from Dbrand nicely makes my PS5 disappear into the cabinet it’s in. (Before you scream at me about heat build up, the front is open and the back has a nice fan that circulates air whenever the ps5 is on). It’s a huge improvement, you only really notice the thing when it’s turning on…

I don’t know if it makes it better or worse... but I definitely would have bought Detective Whiskers 10 years ago, based on the title alone.

The Nook’s Cranny carried random selections of items, and if they didn’t happen to have the exact piece of furniture you wanted, you had to wait until they did. And even if it was in stock, it might not have been in the color you wanted. Honestly, this felt too much like real life.

Honestly, even old ps4 games that don’t even have a ‘ps4 pro’ upgrade benefit from the improved loading times of the ps5, and they’re not somehow unfun because they’re from the previous gen. Granted, I went from an OG ps4 so it’s probably a bigger upgrade for me, but it’s definitely worth it even to play BC ps4 games.

Yep, I have a few ps4 games I’ve play on my ps5 and some of them have had exponential improvements on load times. One in particular had it’s loading times cut down to 1/10th of what it was. For that matter, I did a side by side on Valhalla before the ps5 version came out - PS4 version on the ps4, from start to loading…

Yep, and not only that, that assumes that everyone is just playing one game on the console... What? The rest of the reasoning also doesn’t make sense - would most people install the ps5 next to their ps4 (assuming they had one) and then insist on only playing ps5 games on the ps5 and everything else on the 4? That…
