That's fuckin crazy

One game. I don't know why. I bought a PS5 with no games to buy

[-] Redcuban1959@hexbear.net 8 points 4 months ago

Keep that in mind, they designed this drive to improve loading times. That's all I know!

[-] Dr_Gabriel_Aby@hexbear.net 19 points 4 months ago

I’ve genuinely seen 0 improvement in video games from the PS3 to the PS5. Just a waste of 2 generations of systems because you dumb ass gamers eat this shit up.

All they did was made you pay for online services to play digital downloads and the gamers licked the bathroom floor with glee.

They aren’t even making sequels, it’s just the game I played on PS3 with better graphics.

doubt

This is not me standing up for the peepeepoopoo 5, just saying that's a wide enough time span where there's been a pretty noticeable amount of turnover in design tends, etc. Plenty of games from the seventh gen absolutely feel dated

Bethesda: 2002>2012: Morrowind to Skyrim, huge changes in gaming

Ubisoft: 2003>2013: Prince of Persia to AC: Black Flag, huge changes

Rockstar: 2004>2014: GTA: SA to GTA5 , huge changes

Naughty Dog: 2004>2014: Jak 3 to Last of Us, huge changes

The biggest game companies are just re releasing their 7th gen games over and over again

Dr. Disrespect needs his pro ps5 because he's busy sexting underage girls.

[-] FearsomeJoeandmac@hexbear.net 8 points 4 months ago

Disrespect plays on PC for easier access. Unfortunately for us all.

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 4 points 4 months ago

Here I would have thought he was a sony fanboy.

[-] OrionsMask@hexbear.net 12 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Who is this even for?

Their bank accounts. There's hoards of "new tech" cucks and Sony fanboys to bankroll it even if it's unnecessary. I don't normally use the word cuck as a pejorative but it's very apt here. Daddy Sony telling them it's time to spend their money, etc. etc.

You're fine, my original PS4 lasted me through the previous whole gen, our original PS5s will last us through this one.

[-] AndJusticeForAll@hexbear.net 10 points 4 months ago

Sony fanboys are fucked. At least the PC masterrace freaks have a fairly open platform that allows indie devs and fan mods and stuff to thrive oretty well at different price points.

At least Nintendo has a moderate level of quality in software and changes in hardware design all the time.

Sony fanboys exist and their trawl every comment section to ask people why they'd want to not have a game be always online and make petitions to try to get gyro-aiming removed from a game. Just absolute dregs of gamer-freaks.

[-] OrionsMask@hexbear.net 7 points 4 months ago

Honestly, the whole camp thing is juvenile in general. I'm locked into Sony's ecosystem at this point because it's my comfort zone and I haven't had the need to be elsewhere. I adopted PC gaming very late and so never took to it (I need a controller like a little bitch). That being said, I'd rather break every one of my own toes than behave like a fanboy for any megacorp.

[-] buckykat@hexbear.net 5 points 4 months ago

Wait, why would sony fanboys want to make petitions to remove gyro aim? Doesn't the playstation controller have a gyro?

[-] FearsomeJoeandmac@hexbear.net 5 points 4 months ago

Yeah. They've got me fucked if they think I'm buying any sort of pro console.

[-] Commiejones@hexbear.net 12 points 4 months ago

well obviously it is for professionals.

"The PS quintuple. The PS quintuple!"

[-] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 10 points 4 months ago

I refuse to buy any new Playstations that are not black and horizontal and significantly cheaper. A white tower, not only doesn't physically fit with my setup, it will ruin the aesthetics.

Is that superficial? Yes. But I don't see a point in a new Playstation anyway.

[-] Bartsbigbugbag@lemmy.ml 6 points 4 months ago

PS5 is horizontal and vertical, like PS2, 3, and some 4s. They also make black plates for it, both official and aftermarket.

Making the current generation of consoles not fit in people's entertainment centers was an extremely rare smart move by both sony and m$ actually. Trying to stuff that much exhaust heat into tiny enclosed shelves is dumb and people would absolutely have done it if it were physically possible.

The only console worth having for exclusives is nintendo, everything on sony and microshit just ends up on pc anyway.

[-] buckykat@hexbear.net 13 points 4 months ago

And Nintendo hardware is underpowered enough that you can emulate their current gen on basically anything

Demon Souls remake and a possible bloodborne 2 are the only reasons I went PS5 over series x tbf

they were powerful enough upon release that's there's no need for a mid gen refresh

Yeah and then devs decided they were gonna give up on optimisation =)

I make 15.75 an hour. Honestly I need to just build a low-mid range PC and get out of consoles at this point.

They're going to be 600 bucks next time around and that point you might as well go PC.

Remember when win 10 was gonna be the last OS?

can you imagine how bloated that would be eventually, that was one of the scariest things microsoft has ever said

[-] redthebaron@hexbear.net 4 points 4 months ago

they absolutelly are, but i feel like the continuos bloat at the rate they do it nowadays on a ongoing os for like 2 decade would just become too much, like imagine if instead of vista they just kept adding the stuff they need to add to xp again and again like they do fuck up on those jumps (win11) and it is good to be able to just say okay no i am just gonna wait for whenever you guys figure how to do a good one again instead of watching your pc slowly morph into it with no way to stop it

Pros

[-] AndJusticeForAll@hexbear.net 6 points 4 months ago

You'd think they'd just release one with a bigger fucking hard drive because that's literally the weak point right now. Every other issue doesn't even come close.

[-] Speaker@hexbear.net 6 points 4 months ago

I'm trying to work out a proper conspiracy theory to explain this course change. Last I saw, PS5 sales were so lackluster they didn't even wanna bother with a "Pro" model. Something something NVIDIA? Is Trump a Playstation guy? Will this improve Japanese birthrates somehow?

[-] Tomorrow_Farewell@hexbear.net 4 points 4 months ago

What even is the point of PS and Xbox?

[-] pinguinu@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 4 months ago

Exclusives? And no set up too I guess. People who buy a 500 dollar gadget and 70 dollar games aren't really strapped for cash, for sure

[-] Tomorrow_Farewell@hexbear.net 5 points 4 months ago

Exclusives?

Which are an anti-consumer practice. And there aren't really many exclusives nowadays, with notable ones being even rarer.

People who buy a 500 dollar gadget and 70 dollar games aren't really strapped for cash, for sure

I guess. But that just makes it a pointless gadget that people can do just fine without.

It's cheaper than a gaming pc I would have to spend a lot more than 500 to get a pc that can run bg3 as well as my ps5 does

Don't care. Happy with my PC, Steam Link, and now Steam Deck. Sony has been an idiot company for quite a while now. Done with them.
