I would‘ve got one but after Sony fucked their own IP and me having to deal with their customer „support“ I‘m sticking to PC.

Is this like "PS5 isn't doing well, you should say your goodbyes while you can", or "latter comes after earlier" and can mean anything?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Half way between. They want to beat Nintendo to the next hardware release, but they won’t. So probably two more years till the new stuff comes out, but 4 or 5 till it stops getting support and new releases.

Technically PC is a failed platform as it failed to meet my 2 quadrillion sales to date. It will never get a PC2.

C-suite should have chatted with their own people in manufacturing, I reckon

[–] [email protected] 133 points 9 months ago (10 children)

Bitch, you couldn't get one for a year cause of how quickly they were flying off the shelves. The fuck you mean it didn't sell well?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 9 months ago

some folks gave up and ended up with an Xbox or PC. I helped a few friends build a gaming rig and get onto Steam after they got fed up getting sniped by bots on friggin best buy lol

[–] [email protected] 27 points 9 months ago (5 children)

Well maybe now they aren't flying off shelves anymore ;)

[–] [email protected] 38 points 9 months ago

Sales are slowing down because people are expecting a PS5 Pro.

I'm over here still playing on my PS3.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago

When I got married I inherited the first three generations. We put up some little shelves ordered by generation and all five of them still get played. PS3 included. It released with some awesome games.

Loving my PS4 Pro 😙👌

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

You're not missing out on any games it seems, I skipped it but in hindsight the PS4 Pro was a great investment.

I just want ONE GAME, I DON'T KNOW WHY

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago (2 children)

It was the new ratchet and clank which made me really want one. Every other exclusive apart from Spiderman 2 I actually haven't finished because I lose interest in them. And no I'm not depressed before some armchair Dr tries to explain to me like I've had on Reddit before.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

have you tried weed?
i find that helps me hold interest in games...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Maybe you’re just depressed…

Joking!

I’ve been the same way with some games, I just feel like I’ve seen enough and am ready to put it down.

I bought my PS5 specifically because I was tired of waiting for 2 particular games to be ported to PC. Of course, the actual catalyst was getting an extra $1000 outta nowhere cuz otherwise I wouldn't have spent $700 for two games.

Bloodborne and Demon's Soul remake.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

Conceivably worth it.

I BOUGHT A PS5 WITH NO GAMES TO BUY

[–] [email protected] 17 points 9 months ago (1 children)

WITH THAT IN MIND, I’M RESIGNED TO REBUY GTA 5

Bro if that shit failed to perform then it's on them for failing to manufacture enough. The demand was there. And it out performed the Xbox whateverthefucknow.

[–] [email protected] 72 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Wasn't the reason they couldn't produce more because of the semiconductor shortage?

[–] [email protected] 47 points 9 months ago (4 children)

Partly, but scalpers buying up what inventory there was for reselling was absolutely rampant as well

My wife and I just bought ours last November. We aren't getting anything else anytime soon, so good luck on selling more of the next gen.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

Last October here. I'll be fine buying the PS5 version of PS6 games for the first few years.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Same here. It's new to us and a couple months old, and it doesn't exactly have a huge selection of PS5 optimized games suggestive of a mature platform. This wasn't just for finances but we didn't want to deal with the supply issues in the beginning.

Our console budget is spent for a good long time. And if they do jump to the next console quickly without properly investing in games for this one, that will undermine my trust in their future consoles.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

I have such a huge backlog of games that I don't even have an urge to buy new games anymore. I know I can eventually get them at a huge discount later anyway.

[–] [email protected] 79 points 9 months ago (3 children)

Does the ps5 even have games yet?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 9 months ago

Lots! Lots of exclusive games, though?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Armored Core and Rachet and Clank.

The only reasons we have a PS5 in this house.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Both of those games are on PC

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago (2 children)

They are now. They weren't always.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago

Pretty sure AC went straight to PC, R&C was only slightly delayed and isn’t as big as it used to be anyway. Everyone was playing AC on PC when it came out

I've armoured core on pc. My pc isn't even high spec and I can play 60fps at 1440.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

That game is so well optimized

[–] [email protected] 69 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (2 children)

Yeh 2 or 3 but normal people can't afford them due to the price of fucking everything going up a lot.

In seriousness I like how the ps5 feels to play but due to slow releases unless it's the last of us re re re master master deluxe lack of time or just not having a free 70 quid that month I buy 1 or 2 games a year.

Multiplayer games are not my thing.

Hey eum, quick question, how Safe is this voyager app? And can I share like something quite serious but private? Or can I be traced when I say sensitive information?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago
[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

You're probably safe unless you're doing a terrorism or something.

But... Why are you asking here, of all places?

I know what you mean, I'm more into division games than multipliers.

The one by Tom Clancy?
