Popular Post CelestialRequiem Posted February 16 Popular Post Share Posted February 16 It's the most boring PS console yet. It's a glorified PS4 for me, basically. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDarkKratos Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 (edited) I will be painfully honest here. I have owned my PS5 since December of 2022. And to this very day the only thing I am impressed by is the console's start up speed. That's it. Everything else is MEH. So, to answer the OP's question - NO.

GT__Jedi Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Yes, definitely. The PS4 in some of the larger games is slow, slow, slow. The PS5's are a joy to own. PS4 has been relegated to streaming Netflix, poor thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BENJAM1N_LINUS Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 I love it. Also, the games this generation are absolutely amazing, not sure what people want lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkBlood-ARG Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 (edited) PS5 console could last up to 2035, we dont need more than 4K@60hz and medium graphics config, specially if you have a big library of PS4-only games. The problem is the amount of generic shitty games with too stupid, easy or unsatisfactory trophies that makes you just play the game, switch easy mode, close your eyes, move forward and mash attack button until the end (example: FF16) or the amount of ugly online games that from day 1 you know they are already dead (example: Foamstars).

tiago_muller Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 I honestly feel people just don’t like games that much sometimes. I have got more than 100 platinums in the PS4 over its entire lifespan and have 60 on PS5 mid way through the generation and I only play AAA games, which are definitely less in quantity when compared to indies and smaller games. It’s fair to say there’s been a bigger reliance on 2nd/3rd parties this generation, but if you compare the 1st party games released on the PS4 at the same point in its lifecycle, it’s really not that different. Jury’s still out on the PS5, but I believe between now and 2028, people will be speaking in a very different tune about it on this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chriee Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Overall I am very happy with it. Lots of great games, load times are amazing. Wish it had folders on the home screen like the PS4 did. Not liking the price increase for PS+ if i want cloud storage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iriihutoR84 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 (edited) I love it but it's in parts down to the competition being weak. The Switch has no achievement system and isn't powerful enough to handle modern games and Xbox has too many issues with physical media. That means I more or less have to buy all the big games on PlayStation and I think gaming on PS5 is in a great spot right now with more great releases than I have time to play. The quality of games is higher than ever and the market is more diverse than ever. It's just a shame fee time isn't infinite. I actually also love all these port and re-releases. Maybe not oh-so-slightly enhanced stuff like TLoU2 and Until Dawn but full on remakes like RE2-4 and Rebirth plus that we get easy access to peviously inaccessible/expensive games like for example Castlevania Advance, Rocket Knight and Arcade Archives. Not a fan of the focus on subscription services and I miss Sony's smaller games but overall, gaming is better than ever and PS5 is for me the best place to play.

Popular Post Copanele Posted February 17 Popular Post Share Posted February 17 I will be honest, other than the SSD which means no loading times...I still feel incredibly meh towards this console 😅 I mean, it runs Quake remastered and Turok 2 like a charm buut so far my PS4 could handle that too just as well. Yeah Demon's Souls Remake was cool I guess... My biggest gripe and the deciding factor into buying a damn PC once PS6 comes out, is that the controller started stick drifting after one year from purchase, Swiss precision. I was especially careful with it, even preferring to play the more "stressful" games on the ps4 but my dear Dualsense that needs software updates now started to drift regardless. Sooo yeah...if you want pretty last gen games, PS5 is the way to go. For anything else...eh PS4 can still handle it pretty well. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NullRay85 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 I'm enjoying mine for the most part. Loved how quiet the fan was compared to PS4 and the Dual Sense is really comfortable to hold. The UI is fast but I'm still waiting for themes. Was disappointed with the 667GB storage space and low battery life on the Dual Sense, so I had to buy a 2TB SSD and extra controller. Both of which were expensive. The exclusives are decent so far. Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart is my favorite and it's currently the best-looking game I've played on the console. I'd like Sony to cool down with the remakes/remasters a bit and make another Infamous or Sly Cooper game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, in the span of just the last 5 months I've played 2 of my favorite games ever- Baldurs Gate 3 and Infinite Wealth. There have been countless amazing games that have released for this gen over the years. The only thing I can think is that you don't consider games that have versions that release on previous gens as well as part of it (which is silly) or you have a very narrow window of thing you are into (Also I disagree about not thinking about true remakes as new games- two games that release this month alone, Persona 3 Remake and FF7 Rebirth come to mind) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willows_blessing Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 its a console and it works better than my old ps4 and gives me access to more games, it kinda sucks theres no themes but other than that its good 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zizimonster Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I'm not a person who drools over graphics, to be honest. So, I've only been impressed with its faster load times for certain games. 12 hours ago, Copanele said: preferring to play the more "stressful" games on the ps4 It's still better to play PS4 games on PS5 since you can use DualShock4 to play PS4 games, if I'm not mistaken.

If it wasn't for Indies I wouldn't be playing many modern games at all. I'm so done with remakes and remasters. The only games I can think of that I thought were amazing this gen was ratchet & clank, Plague tale and Robocop. As for ff7 remake. I hated the combat and all the unnecessary padding they added.

Zephrese Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 (edited) As a more powerful PS4 with a handful of good exclusive/next-gen only games? Definitely. As a completely new console comparable to previous ones when they first came out, and how they were at the same point in their lifespan we're now at with the PS5 itself? Ehhhh...

And not being able to back up PS5 save data to a USB drive sucks. I feel anxious every time I have to play a PS5 game. 😅 Edited February 18 by zizimonster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreshFromThaDeli Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 16 hours ago, Copanele said: Snip I feel the same. Minus the stick drift as I didnt get it. It all feels the same with minor upgrades. The SSD is the best feature and it is nice having HDR that actually works properly unlike the washed out HDR on PS4. The most blown away I have been is on Ghost of Tsushima, Cyberpunk and Horizon Zero Dawn. Yes. Zero Dawn. These are all PS4 games that are upgraded on PS5. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fbdbh Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Well, it does what it’s supposed to do, but could be better. I wish it didn’t have this shitty design - I can take it with myself when traveling (although I hate the size and weight) but those stupid collars make everything ten times worse, the stand is a joke. It should have been a rounded off rectangle. Xbox has the better backwards compatibility support, that should be replicated as well (Bloodborne stuck at 30 FPS is ridiculous). Also, very boring generation, nothing excites me. But… like I said, it does its job, it plays the game fast and quiet, and that’s the main reason I got it.
