Scalpers are one of biggest reason that I lost interest in PS5 nowadays and Sony didn't know how to control the supply, so it should be limited to well established PSN users.

I like the ps5 a lot more than the ps4, it's so quiet.
The PS5 is good but it always just struck me as a better PS4 for the most part.

It's doesn't feel like a place for next gen games, it feels like as though you get it for enhanced performance for certain games, 60fps patches or whatnot.

Not saying that it's bad for the PS5 to enhance PS4 games but that can't what the console should all be about.

It should be having next gen games that push the quality for gameplay (and to some but lesser extent, graphics).

Even then regarding the next gen games problem the PS5 isn't really doing a whole lot for PS1-PS3 era compatibility, Xbox is leagues ahead in this regard with backwards compatibility with OG XBOX-Xbox One with the Series S/X.

1 year and still no games worth getting
As true exclusives, Demon's Souls and Returnal have been doing a lot of heavy lifting no doubt. Plenty of great upgraded PS4 games to keep me happy though, maybe not everybody. And there's always native third-party titles.

True, but Series S/X have the same problem of not having enough next-gen exclusives. Halo Infinite and Psychonauts 2 are the only ones not on PS5 IIRC, and they're both on PC of course. It's too early to declare a "winner" of next-gen, because right now the winner is clearly PC. Until supply catches up to demand for both consoles, not many devs are gonna go all-in on exclusivity.

I mean yeah both consoles are lacking in terms of next gen exclusively, I didn't say that Xbox was better then PlayStation at that, only when it came to backwards compatibility Xbox has the major advantage.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa they ruined the gaming experience for me to be honest
  • S @ salazarcosplay:

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa If you want to do rgh or 360 mod
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    does it matter if you update your 360 or not before trying is it advisable or not
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:

    Going to the water park, see ya
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Have fun @Xdqwerty. If you see a chocolate candy bar floating in the water, don't eat it!

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just like any comedies really, and cartoons have always been a favorite of mine. Family guy, American Dad, Futurama, Cleveland Show, Simpsons - I like them all.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.

  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa were you always up to date on the current events and issues of the time or were there issues that you first found out thru south park
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Most of the time yea I knew, I watch and read the news regularly, but sometimes the Hollywood BS stuff, like concerning actors slip by me. I don't follow most Hollywood BS (example: the Kardasians)
