The PS5 is actually good

This is funny to me mostly because I hate LEDs and I sure would want to turn off the stupid light on that stupid fucking thing.

reddit users from 2023 told me you still can’t turn off the PS5 LEDs but I think they must have added that feature by now.

Of course you still can’t on the controller, but that’s a PS4 problem as well.

Finally we have super powered AI consoles to… get better image upscaling? The future I’ve always dreamed of. I think I’ll watch some more chatgpt Skyrim mod videos instead. Or buy a Series X or PC. Maybe. Mine still ran Baldur’s Gate 3 so I’m still good atm.

I mean what am I supposed to play on this thing? Only exclusives I’m aware of are that Team Ninja game and Stellar Blade. Until they too get PC ports eventually? I don’t really care that much about 3D character action games anyway.

Watching Digital Foundry go over PS5 footage and even them seem desperate to say anything remarkable about the Pro.

As much as the 5 just feels like an incremental upgrade to the 4, the 5 Pro seems like an increment of an increment.

I wonder if this is another instance of the corporate inertia of having started working on it meant no one wanted to stop and reconsider it’s release due to just the way game development has shaken out these past several years. I assumed that’s what happened with PSVR2, but then Sony just announced some cool PSVR2 games so maybe I’m wrong.

Idk if it makes sense to lump the PS5 Pro in with the PSVR2.

I think the Pro is doing exactly what Sony wants it to do. It is showing off that they’re at the cutting edge, highlights how good the original PS5 is, and keeps people in the PS ecosystem.

I was really hoping they’d make PS5 Pro look good horizontally. The fins in the middle just don’t do it for me. I will pop back again when they release covers for it. Maybe a black console would be cool.

Playstation - notice the second ‘T’ is pronounced like a ‘C’. If we change the T to a C (Playstacion), the true intent becomes clear - it’s an anagram of “Satanic Ploy”.

5 - Satan’s symbol, the pentagram, has 5 lines.

Pro - slang for “Prostitute”.

 
We think of Satan as a liar, but in this case he tells us exactly what this “toy” is - we’d better believe him! Don’t leave your child alone in their room every night with Satan’s Whore!

Playing rise of the ronin on my new hand me down ps5. I like it so far, it’s kind of assassin’s creed-ish but with kind of sekiro-lite combat. it’s one of those ones where you’re constantly getting new random gear with slightly better numbers from everything, but you can glamour it to look like what you want. one thing that drives me a little nuts is there’s so much stuff in the game and there’s a little dot next to the tabs in the start menu everytime something new comes up which is always. I was a simple country assassin who failed to assassinate admiral perry now I’m roommates with ryoma sakamoto in the big city. gun skills are of course under the intellect stat, which you can raise by taking up photography. you get charm stat points by finding and petting cats. I think what would make the game really great though, just catapult it to being an all time classic, is if it had ps2 graphics.

me and commodore perry are friends now bonding over our mutual hatred of the british. you can find other players characters as wandering ronin npcs that you can challenge or help. if you max out the animal whisperer skill instead of stealth killing enemy dogs you pet them and they become your ally

It’ll be really cool when that game drops below 3000 yen here.

I’ve begun a forbidden romance with a geisha that is secretly an agent for pro-shogunate forces while I’m helping the anti-shogunate forces, someday we’re going to escape these tumultuous times and lives fate forced us into, and only we our know our real selves behind our public facades. the fellas have definitely picked up on my somewhat contradictory actions lately aiding the movement. normally I’m anti-romance option but this seemed incredibly doomed and ill-advised and also just not anywhere near as creepy as bioware-esque sex doll puppetry. commodore perry was also a romance option. I’d think I’d have more enthusiasm for overthrowing the current order but the anti-shogunate guys are an asshole master swordsman I keep running into every time I have a mission involving a white guy cause he’ll be trying to murder him, an aloof gambler guy who is secretly running a militia comprised of people of maybe not the highest moral fiber considering they almost murdered the wife of the asshole swordsman guy when she was looking for him, and their leader who every time I see him is tore out the fucking frame trying to fight me by mistake. I guess you use the tools you have. so far the pro shogunate side is a bunch of nerds for american technology, noble chevalier Jules Brunet and commodore perry who is just doing this to impress and outshine his brother, Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry. we are all just the product of our own neuroses.

It is interesting america met japan for like five minutes and japan immediately contracted the patriot militia that murders foreigners mind virus and also that weebs have existed since the minute contact with japan was made.

How is streaming PS3 games?

Should I play white knight chronicles before my PSPremium is cut off?

I talk about streaming ps3 uhh…somewhere on the forum. It works well as long as it isn’t a game with a lot of blacj (RE6 was unplayable.) and something like Under Defeat was a complete joke. But an UE3 PS3 game was fine.
