The ps5 has access to two Soulsbourne games the other platforms don't get plus the best version of Elden Ring, so a ps5 is the best deal in gaming.

The performance is better but you still get basically the entire Asian player base on Playstation. Souls games will always win on Playstation.

Are you mixing up dodge and avoid? Duck/hop is avoid (L1 plus stick down for avoiding low attacks, or stick in any other direction for avoiding high attacks) and dashing in a direction is dodge (R2 plus stick in direction). You want to mostly use avoid. Dodge is for getting out of the way of unavoidable grabs, or quickly repositioning yourself

I don't think so Tim. All this proves is that a streaming-only platform that got put on life support a couple years ago because it lost support from up top is likely to get killed. MS is doing great with Xcloud by pitching it as part of a complete breakfast rather than the entire meal, and making sure it works well and has a library behind it. Here, have some Xbox thread success stories

Cloud gaming is a good thing, but I think the failure of most could gaming services is that making it the only option makes no sense. For most people downloading a game is just better. It’s a great secondary option that has no reason to be the only option.

I guess saving money on hardware is the biggest draw but at this point in time I think it makes more sense to just own the hardware.

Yeah streaming-only seems like it could only be a niche product. People who don't already own some form of gaming hardware are uh probably not gamers interested in a gaming service lol. But as a gap-filler that you can use to play your game in a pinch, it's way more compelling. Which makes MS uniquely well positioned to make it work

I am glad to hear that. I think we can all agree a big portion of what makes a successful adult relationship is an intact television.

How far back do I need to go if I want to play metal gear solid? Ps3? Is there any way to get it functional on a 4 or 5? What's the oldest MGS game on the 4 or 5?

MGS 1, 2, and 3 can only be played on a PS3 or earlier. MGS2 and MGS3 have HD remakes that are only available on PS3.

MGS4 is PS3 only.

MGSV (Ground Zeroes and The Phantom Pain) is on PS4. Metal Gear Survive is also on PS4.

I don’t recommend the older ones any more because they are so archaic in terms of gameplay that you run the risk of putting people off Mgsv, which is a really fun game even if you don’t know the story.

I just played MGS1 on PS3 for the first time and enjoyed it. There were a few things that sucked (getting to Sniper Wolf without having picked up any Diazepam) but mostly it felt good to play and I enjoyed it right up until the end. I found stealth almost impossible though and ended up with hundreds of kills by the end. And MGS2 feels amazing by comparison. I need to get back to it, I've only finished the Tanker chapter so far.

Start with Metal Gear 1! (It and MG2 are bonuses included in MGS3 HD and Subsistence)

How’s the Pulse wireless headset? It’s on sale on Amazon today

It is the most comfortable and sturdy gaming headset I've ever owned. The sound is better than the old Golds but not quite as good as the old Platinums and certainly not as good as I get with my XM4's or my fancy wired Bose headphones for music stuff. Also, in a feat of comical stupidity, it doesn't interact with the mute button on the controller that does work with other headsets. Oh well, the mute button on the headset is easy enough to get to. It's very easy to recommend, especially on sale.
