That said, the PS community is large and diverse and you may run into any number of gaming opinions that you disagree with, or long running inside jokes you don't understand. If someone insults a game you like please remember that is not an insult to your person and should not be treated as such. Per Veegy: VG posted:

Just be funny and/or interesting.[/i] VG posted:If you do not like a game that has secrets and stuff then adhering to spoilers still is the decent thing to do. Someone who is excited for others to experience something makes sense. I love the reactions of people who do not know something about a favourite game of mine and I cannot imagine ruining it for others just because.

It is the standard-bearer for the megacorp's futuristic vision of interactive entertainment, originally released in autumn 2020 during the 25th anniversary of the brand.   ... What does it look like?          PS5 hardware teardowns OG https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CaAY-jAjm0w slim https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cO9-5DFAmE ... How much is it?  PRICE INCREASE (as of late 2023 these models will be discontinued and sold thru, the new 'slim' PS5s will merge via a redesign) Prices for these original models are now rather fluid.The original 2020 PS5 has 2 SKUs to choose from, a Base Edition with a 4KUHD Blu-ray drive, and a somewhat less expensive Digital Edition with no Blu-ray drive. Aside from the Blu-ray drive they are the same machine with slightly different shapes. - The late 2023 PS5 redesign also has 2 SKUs, the eponymous feature-complete standard version, and a slightly sheaper (and much slimmer) Digital version sans optical drive...hardware which can be added via a later purchase. Expected prices for the new models U.S. PS5 with Ultra HD Blu-ray disc drive – 499.99 USD PS5 Digital Edition – 449.99 USD Europe PS5 with Ultra HD Blu-ray disc drive – 549.99 EUR PS5 Digital Edition – 449.99 EUR U.K. PS5 with Ultra HD Blu-ray disc drive – 479.99 GBP PS5 Digital Edition – 389.99 GBP Japan PS5 with Ultra HD Blu-ray disc drive – 66,980 JPY (includes tax) PS5 Digital Edition – 59,980 JPY (includes tax) ... Why is it? The PS5 represents Sony's first foray into console architecture designed entirely around maximizing the bandwidth potential of SSD technology and minimizing bottlenecks and seek time. Other features include a focus on 4KHDR quality graphics, boost mode for nearly complete backwards compatibility with the PlayStation 4 library, 3D audio Tempest Engine™, Adventures In Raytracing!, sensuous haptic feedback, and more! ...

Just getting it out there now: the kind of posting that has been getting me down from the previous thread is not going to fly. Be kinder to each other. This does not mean forced positivity, just rethink how you are posting against each others points.  How about those 2 (TWO!) exclusive games revealed last night! That is a 200% increase!

Shiny new thread! I think I forgot to mention this but I got the Inzone H7 and it's a quality headset. I think in terms of comfort and sound quality it's 9.5/10, just a hair below the Steelseries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless (10/10), while having the added benefit of doing the smooth transition that the Pulse 3D does, so if you turn it on and off it will automatically shift where audio is coming from on your PS5, whereas with the Steelseries the sound will always default to sending to the headphone receiver (it can't tell if the headset is on or not) and you have to manually shift to TV output in software.

Morpheus posted:Yeah what's up with that name now - I thought LAD would be for turn-based stuff. its the translation of the japanese name for the series (and studio), they called it yakuza when it came over for western marketing but now how the series has gone and everything else with ishin, no real need to call it yakuza and they treated 7 as a reboot kind of thing. 8 is still turn based gaiden and ishin are action based like the rest. im betting 8's western name will be "like a dragon: subtitle" no number or anything Vikar Jerome fucked around with this message at 13:49 on Sep 14, 2022 |

I finished God of War 3. Mixed feelings. It felt great to actually play; all the weapons feel good and the combat is way less mindless than I remember (after playing the first two on release). And I am down for a narrative where the protagonist is just an awful piece of poo poo who fails to learn or change. But midway through the game shifts to have Kratos be sorta protecting this little girl? and being powered by hope? and then in the end he sacrifices himself to release hope to the few humans left alive? And none of it works, none of it flows or feels convincing or earned, it's like one of those parts in the bible where scholars think this one paragraph was added a thousand years later. Looked really good for a 2010 game. I mean I was playing the remaster, but the art direction was ace.
