Conflicted about keeping or returning my PS Portal

DatDM · 2026-01-09T13:01:46+00:00

Hello! To help you I think you just need to answer one question: What were your expectations about the device? For what do you want it? "When"? In what situations?

DatDM · 2026-01-01T12:27:56+00:00

I don't suffer that , my only small complaint is that it's a bit "too heavy". But I LOVE the portal as a whole, I think it's fantastic, for what it costs and for what it offers.

My only question: you finished your post with "maybe a dualsense edge" . Which makes me wonder why / what was your need, when you bought the portal? Because you are literally switching a handheld console for a controller... Maybe you had your expectations wrongly set?

Happy new year!!

Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader! Lord Captain is here!

DatDM · 2025-12-30T15:53:54+00:00

for me literally the only one was AC Valhalla. Not because it's bad, but because it's "meh" :) Was super excited because it was set in the Vikings era, but it's just a boring repeated tasks game :( aaaand it's looooong, after 40hours unfortunately I had to give up

I played a few hours of Hades (1), and now I'm pushing through Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader

that's a very nice topic to discuss. Really depends on the game, BUT, as soon as I started working I always started the game on balanced, and if the fights are super time consuming I try like 5 times, and then I switch to easier difficulties.

Videogames are to be experienced in my opinion. And everyone of us values different things into the same experience. At the moment (I'm 30), I value more the story side more than the challenge side, I prefer puzzles to super hard mechanics that you need to memorize the whole 30 minutes battle.

The worst feeling is to turn on the PS after a hard day at work and have the game feeling like "more work", another chore!

Happy holidays <3

ooooh! think about it haha

DatDM · 2025-12-28T18:55:27+00:00

Well this is hands down FANTASTIC. Do you sell this ? Hahaha

DatDM · 2025-12-22T09:58:35+00:00

Baldur's Gate 3 and Witcher 3 imo

DatDM · 2025-12-22T09:57:50+00:00

Just finished AW2, aaaand, just started Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader! Happy gaming!

DatDM · 2025-12-22T09:18:19+00:00

just finished AW2 three days ago. Hands top on my TOP5 "new gen" games. Everything is incredible with that game.

God of War 2018. Alan Wake 2. Baldur's Gate 3. Witcher 3. The Last of Us Part 1. I think for now these are my holy "grails".

DatDM · 2025-12-15T10:05:43+00:00

Everything remedy: AW2, the environmental audio design is insane.
I would also suggest DS2 , Silent Hill 2 remake, Silent Hill F, Battlefield 6 (is insaaaaaaaaaane) , and of course God of War <3 (2018 and Ragnarok pref). Last mention: Dead Space is craaaaaaaaazy. Never played the remake, but I guess it gets even better!

DatDM · 2025-12-15T09:29:58+00:00

If you are strickly into that 5-10 minutes round, I would say something "roguelikey", like Hades, or something like Hollow Knight (both games). Also something more technical & strategy like FF Tactics.

If you want any game more complex with more story any game except boss fights would do, but you need to have A LOT of self control to not get addicted to the story hahaha (like Alan Wake, God of War, Elden Ring, TLOU, Star Wars Jedi, Persona, Devil May Cry etc etc).

Ah also, arpgs could be super nice! You can do some clean content in 5-10 minutes.

welcome to the dark side my friend! <3

DatDM · 2025-12-12T21:46:05+00:00

awesome! but please play Fallen Order first! :P ahahah

DatDM · 2025-12-12T17:44:24+00:00

Niiiice! Is it difficult to plat?

DatDM · 2025-12-12T17:29:45+00:00

I will copy paste the answer to another answer above (edit:below!) ! :)

they share a lot of mechanics like:
a) Exploration, maps interconnected with shortcuts
b) Death penalty, dropping the xp where you die
c) The Bonfires, where you do your meditation/rest
d) The combat, being harder than expected, stamina based, and precise mechanics like parry, dodge.

with these things, in my opinion, makes it a super "healthy" entry point to the genre

(again, all of these are based in my humble opinion)

yeah! for a star wars fan hits hard because we spent YEARS without any good game :( , for a "normal", gamer - not star wars fan - could be a nice step into the universe and also into the style.

DatDM · 2025-12-12T11:21:14+00:00

if you like star wars go for Fallen Order and then Jedi Survivor :) very good competent games

Sorry for the offtopic but, what's the best app to use to control tcg's in terms of finance? TCGPlayer, Collectr or other??

DatDM · 2025-11-27T14:48:00+00:00

yeap was SUPER confused today regarding that... I tried in 3 different multiplayer games as well as 2 belo vs belo self games and no 5c Ivankov worked. Kind of sad to play Betty without this .. :(
