There will probably be loads of third-party panels just because of that lol, just need some spray paint for the the glossy middle part or something for the finishing touch

Sony will just flash their 30th anniversary skin again and people will forget and drool all over again.

I still enjoy my PS5 for a few exclusives I play on it. But damn I'm getting very much triggered to just go back to exclusively PC gaming.

What an absolutely terrible fucking idea.

Can't wait for major story spoilers to show up full-screen on the background of the homescreen because clickbaiters on YouTube are fucking assholes.

Also really don't need product placement on the home, I am on my PS5 to play games, not to fucking buy stuff. It's a console, not a goddamn webshop.

This really needs an option to get disabled.

Edit: Reading again it just seems to get worse. Looking at the alternative game ads, offers and promotions when selecting a game seems borderline against consumer laws, at least in EU. Especially kids could be easily targeted and triggered by this. Also most of these examples make it look like you're starting up an entirely different game, it's just such a awful update all together. No self-respecting interface designer would come up with this, it's 100% corporate predatory marketing cunts that came up with this kind of stuff.

Yeah I thought about trying an analogue keyboard but I don't think I'll enjoy how those keys would work, just doesn't feel natural on a keyboard.

I also recently got a mouse with 12 buttons, specifically for WoW at the time lol. I have whole grid set up for just using those buttons. So many more (easy) keybinds opened up because of that.

I'm afraid that if they keep making 'superior' versions of the same generation of consoles that we'll end up with 'semi-exclusives' anyway. Simply because those will run a lot better on the more expensive hardware, and what I'm most afraid of is that a lot of developers will get lazy in optimisation, because why the hell would they bother if they can just make it run good enough on the 'high-end' platform so to speak.

And bet you that Sony will encourage developers on this too, because they're gonna want to have reasons to sell the Pro, especially if there are no exclusive titles to promote it with.

Gaming sticks (and weird ass abominations like trackball mice) were quite popular for some time during late 90s and early 00s, but now they're mostly limited to certain games like flight/space games and usually part of a HOTAS setup.

What I miss on keyboard & mouse setups is any form of analogue input, usually best for driving in games and walking faster/slower etc. But nothing is stopping me from just plugging in any controller and it'll usually work on PC just fine.

For everything else I simply prefer keyboard anyway, many more buttons and combinations that controllers often lack. Lots of controller supported games these days need ways around having too many buttons by adding modifiers or having to use select-wheels and what not.

Hell I'd even go as far as adding a Stream Deck to my setup (I don't even stream), just to have another panel of (configurable) buttons to use for various games and stuff.

That's another thing I always wondered about, gaming on Linux.

I always thought of Linux of a tweaker/programmer kind of platform that isn't much into gaming. Much like Apple being for creatives, music and Adobe. Even though all that runs fine on Windows too. That gaming on either is an entirely optional at-your-own-risk kind of deal, since a lot of games don't support Linux/Mac natively anyway.

If one wants to play games a lot, why not simply get a Windows PC? Or a console for that matter.

No offense, but I always felt like wanting to game on Linux or Mac is just handicapping oneself.

I'm legitimately wondering what's so incredibly bad about the Ubi launcher that people hate it so much?

I'm not a fan of each brand having their own thing, I'd rather have everything in my Steam library or some other universal launcher (not GOG).

But I never had issues with Ubi's launchers, despite having played a lot of Ubi games on there.

Ironically XDefiant a free game.

The price alone isn't the problem.

If the launch came paired with great new games it would be a whole different story, like as if it would be a new generation console like a PS6 with new exclusive games I doubt that the price would even be an issue. People would still complain, but they'll get over it.

From what I've seen it's practically only PS5 'Pro Enhanced' games, which are mostly games that have been around many years already. Plus it doesn't have a disc drive so it's more expensive if you want disc support too.

I still got an original PS5 (with disc drive), I mostly only played PS exclusive games and a few games that I prefer on console, it's perfectly capable of doing 4k and/or high resolution graphics and framerates depending on the game. I don't see a reason to upgrade to the Pro at all. And I think new players are more likely to just go for the PS5 Slim instead.

Didn't help that the game got next to no promotion. I don't even remember how I found out about the game, I think it might've been a random game one of my Twitch follows was streaming at the time, wasn't even a promoted stream for all I know.

The game's alright, just not the type for me anymore.

Sony came up with the idea of the disc drive, it only made sense them wanting more profit from the part they designed. It was just a disgusting move by Nintendo to go behind their backs and close a deal with another company, while not telling Sony.

More like if someone else does a better job, sue the living shit out of them.

Just people trying to ride the wave for internet points without really knowing what they're talking about. It's just the popular "current thing" to hate on.

Well I'm prime demographic for Outlaws too and I had an incredible blast with the game. It's not a GOTY but it was very enjoyable to me. Very immersive and the story was alright too.

Looks interesting. I liked the first game but never finished it, it felt like there wasn't much new to unlock after the first chapter and got very repetitive quickly.

Not what I said. And like many others entirely missing the point.

I think it was my first FS game too, and I played a decent amount of hours on it on the PS4, but I just thought there were newer an better FS games since then that would fill that desire. It didn't seem to me that Bloodborne was that special. And it's not like FS had just been sitting still doing nothing since then.

Pretty sure it's not. Have you seen the average discussions about the game?
