Yeah RE8 and Deathloop are the only big releases on my radar, and I'll def catch Elden Ring whenever that falls from the sky.

Just give me a real banger every 3 or 4 months and I'll be happy.

haha oh poo poo I looked at a list of upcoming releases and there's way more poo poo slated for this year than I remembered, Horizon Forbidden West, God of War Ragnarok, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2...There's even more than that.

I'm sure a bunch of 2021 releases are going to get delayed though. It seems inevitable unless we want a year full of Cyberpunks.

It's a hard ethic to live buy and one I flub frequently myself, but buy a game if you are straight up in the mood to play it right now. It doesn't matter if it's full price, on sale for 90% off, whatever. If your current thought is "hell yeah I'd rather be playing this game at this very moment" buy away. If the thought is "well I've been meaning to check that out and that price is really good, maybe I'll play it after the 5 games I'm planning to play next" don't buy it. It'll go on sale again and again, probably for cheaper, and then if you you are in the mood to play it down the road, buy it. If you are still mentally backlogging it, you probably didn't want to play it that badly anyways.

Buying games "for later" is a great way to literally just donate money to publishers.

that's my ted talk

The games I buy "for later" are physical releases that might go out of stock because they're rare. In fact I'm glad that I did with the Yakuza series because they are all out of stock (spanish/italian retail release) cept for the ugly Yakuza 0 hits one.

I can only play for around 30 minutes at a time, afterwards I start to lose interest. I wish there was a game like it with more of a fantasy setting/world.

I only buy games if I can get them for $12 or less, but I don't otherwise restrain myself.

This let me build up a huge backlog of games I want to play while limiting my expense. It also keeps me from playing buggy new release games, and I can often get the DLC included.

Because they patched the disc versions of both games to cap the framerate at 30 in order to not literally destroy PS4s. The digital versions are the patched versions. The disc versions can be played without being patched which results in the uncapped framerate settling at 60 on PS5.

What I'm getting at is...
Do you feel the same way?

because it didn't run at 60 on a ps4/pro. it ran uncapped which meant an inconsistent fps which is generally considered worse than a fixed 30 (for fixed frequency displays, i.e., till recently virtually all tvs). unfortunately when they added the (needed) fps cap, they didn't make it optional, which now would be pretty great.

I'm pretty darn sure I played GoW in 60fps on PS5, there is still an uncapped framerate mode.

I think GoW's story is a little more complicated, like you need the unpatched version to run it at 4k with an unlocked frame rate or something

Hmm, my PS4 from 2015 might be having disc drive issues. Put in 13 Sentinels and it said "could not start application." I took it out, examined it, and put it back in a couple times, but it wouldn't start the game (even though it knew what game it was). I then inserted Yakuza 5, which successfully started, so I put 13 Sentinels back in and it worked. Also I heard a weird noise from the drive once or twice. Hope everything's okay in there.

My PS4’s optical drive is also half-broken and has been for years. Sticking the nozzle of canned air in there and blowing it may have helped a little bit? I’m not really sure. I don’t buy disc-based PS4 games anymore and usually use my PS3 to play Blu-rays.

I got Ratchet and Clank and Zone of Enders 2 funky fresh edition on PS4 just now. Also King of FIghters 2000 for 3 bucks because you can't have enough of that. I appreciate a good deal quite frankly. And a good hummus, nothing fancy, but it is one of the more nutritious and delicious dips.

You said it! Space Quest sure rules, Roger Wilco is a legend. Anybody here who may not play them, try popping on a longplay or let's play of Space Quest 4 on youtube. That was one of the most clever funny cinematic games of the 90s. 5 is my other fav.

My New Years resolution is to not buy a single game in 2021. Ever since I started working full time the last couple of years I’ve spent an absolute fortune on games. I mean at the moment it’s very easy to justify because there’s not much else to do at home but I think I’ve this massive pile of games I’ve only played bits of.


If Elden ring comes out though, it’s game over.

yeah GOW can still run at 60fps at 1080p like it does on ps4 pro but if you want it in 4k/60 on ps5 you need the unpatched disc, otherwise 4k is locked to 30. TLG has no pro style setting, if i recall? it has dynamic res and disc is unpatched so on ps5 the res will always hit the highest which is some mid-way between 1080 and 4k and locked 60s cos its uncapped. it doesnt even have those drops when shitloads of things are going on, on screen, type stuff either. the power of playstation

TLG: Unlocked framerate with no PS4 Pro resolution or HDR support on unpatched disk. Brute-forced to 60fps on PS5 but lacking the above features and some settings/ bug fixes. Locked to 30fps after patches.

God of War: Unlocked framerate at 4K through PS4 Pro performance mode on the unpatched disk code. Brute forced to 60fps on PS5 but no New Game+ or bug fixes. 60fps 1080p available after the patches.

Space Quest IV is my favourite space quest :3: When my bestie and I were young, we liked the narrator and roger's voices so much that we recorded ourselves playing 3 and 5 with him and I doing our impressions of them.

I can still do an impression of the narrator and remember almost word for word the narrators lines from V :D
