Not sure what exactly is going on in Japan, but I personally just have a hard time shelling out $70 for these new games when I know that in a ~year they will either be at reduced price, on sale, or included with PS+ especially when I have still have a stack of PS4 games I'm still working through.
Definitely have enjoyed my PS5! It is a fantastic system, and has been 100% reliable for me. However, with so few PS5 titles out so far if I had a PS4 Pro I doubt I would have upgraded to the PS5 already.
I <3 my CFW PS3 fat. Being able to play PS1, PS2, and SNES (through RetroArch) games is pretty awesome. I have problems with the occasional PS1 title, but it mostly works great.
I'd love it to be cheaper, but I paid for it -- I love Mario Kart and there really are not any alternatives these days to that type of game.
Or it will be a PS Plus/PS Now/Game Pass title before too long.
Indeed. It is nice to see a patch that's not just "better OG PS4 and XBox One support."
Well yeah -- setting limited colors turns off HDR mode which is what everyone is saying is really freaken annoying.
Typically when people think that HDR is a mess, it is because they bought a monitor or HDTV with really shitty HDR support.
I've had this issue before. Minecraft looks like ass unless I manually turn off HDR in the PS5 settings. Same with most streaming services when not streaming HDR content.
It is a physical button -- hardly a secret.
We will have to wait and see what the requirements end up being as the fastest M2 NVMe SSDs can be just as pricey. Still, I would expect that (at least in the long run) that a proprietary upgrade option will be more expensive than a non-proprietary upgrade option.
@anast not really the case and hasn’t been for years. Since game patches on console became as common as PC patches, it’s been basically the same.
I have a hard time going back to Horizon Zero on console with capped 30fps after playing 60fps in the PC version. PC is a much better experience for this one at this point, but I’d love to see a PS5 patch.
I have a hard time playing a game that I've played at 60fps at 30fps. After playing Horizon Zero on PC at 60fps it is very hard for me to go back to the Playstation version that is locked at 30fps. That being said, I don't think I'd care between 30fps and 60fps in an RPG like Persona 5 -- I'd rather it have high visual fidelity over frame rate, so long as it were a fixed 30fps with no dips.
I wrote a poem about Witcher 3. It goes like this: Roses are red, violets are blue, the Witcher 3 is on sale this month, and it will be next month too.
The first two paragraphs is the author going on and on about having both consoles.
I remember when Street Fighter Alpha 3 came out and everyone was all "hold up, don't you mean Street Fighter 2 alpha?" Seriously thought they were just going to keep the 2 in the title forever at that point.
The way they designed the beasts as dungeons and the shrines as mini-dungeons was fine with me, but it just needed more variety in terms of background music and tile set/themes. More traditional dungeons would be great if by traditional that also means variety.
Master mode was added with a DLC along with other content. I enjoyed master mode more than normal mode but IMO it didn't really affect the fun of the game that much. The main frustration with the first DLC is that practically all of the content was targeting at players just starting their journey (master mode, and all the easy-to-obtain DLC 1 gear) and there was practically nothing as far as end-game-content which is where the majority of the player base was at when DLC 1 launched.
Find someone on Twitter that is tweets on restock and set them up on your phone so you get a push notification for every one of their tweets. That is how I ended up getting a PS5 from Best Buy.
