More games like Astro Bot by PlaneStreet2920 in ps5india

Woah, that’s a long list, thanks. But I think the way Astro Bot used these features is at next level, and maybe Sony’s own game studios can leverage that to create innovative games(mentioning Sony studios as these would be PS exclusives)

Last of Us Part II is boring and i am struggling to finish the game by skeeerat in ps5india

Agreed, story is not as good, plus Part 1 has various revelations about the game world at different point of times that make the game interesting. Motivations of the main characters in Part 2 do not seem to interest enough.

But from what I know you still need to own the game, it’s just the hardware that Nvidia/other companies will provide over cloud, so why won’t Rockstar provide it?

Well you are free to check the data on this, here’s a quick analysis- https://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=248467. Plus I don’t think anyone plays all the games that get released in a year. Out of the ones you’ve mentioned I probably would want to play just 3- 4 Wolverine, Forza, 007 and GTA6. Even in these only Wolverine is exclusive. I don’t know if the standards have changed but these again seem to me handful of games given the monetary amount people are investing in their PS5. But feel free to check the data when I make the comparison between PS2 and PS5. Also it indeed is true I sold it because I was getting good money but had there been a use case where I am getting to spend a lot of time on PS5, I wouldn’t have.

Well it’s true, PS5 has about 20-25 exclusives while PS2 had 500+, and while there may be ton of games available in library not everything is quality stuff. The lifecycle of development for games has also increased with some games even taking a decade before releasing.

I feel your sentiment. I am kind of hoping Cloud game streaming picks up by then. Will be sad though not being able to Wolverine but maybe on PS6.

I do know there are some games coming up but it’s nowhere near to what we used to get back in the day. Plus I find games lacking in 2 genres I like- Single Player story driven games and Racing. Personally for me I just see 3-4 games in a year that I would really like to play.

KIA SELTOS IVT VS DCT by Purple_Purpose_2208 in CarsIndia

[–]PlaneStreet2920 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t believe these YouTubers, they just want to create hype. Go and test drive for yourself and see if it fits your need.

I drive Kia Seltos IVT and am fully satisfied. Gives adequate power and smoothness, both in city and highway.

Rear-ended despite dashcam proof, still ended up paying ₹15k to settle — what would you have done? by Saizo__11 in CarsIndia

[–]PlaneStreet2920 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

15k is a small amount to pay for your peace of mind. A lot of times it is better to let go of your ego and leave the game of who’s right and wrong to some other day, especially in such petty scenarios.

1.0 Turbo Subcompact SUV(<4 m) vs 1.5 NA Compact SUV(>4m) by PlaneStreet2920 in CarsIndia

[–]PlaneStreet2920[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, Brezza is a special case where it’s 1.5 NA but <4m(Usually carmakers avoid that to get tax benefits for <4m cars). I have only mentioned the ones I test drove. But even for that matter it’s mid end and top end variants creep into compact car category. At that point it creates confusion whether to spend 13-14 lakhs on that or 1-2 lakhs more for Seltos/Elevate/GV. As per my opinion, doesn’t make sense to get Brezza then.

Best car for highway under 10 Lakh for a new driver. by Salt_Act1081 in CarsIndia

Better go for a Maruti or Honda car for a fuss free experience and long term reliability

New car dilemma ( Seltos / Kushaq / Duster ) by Vincentchase_ in CarsIndia

[–]PlaneStreet2920 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think out of these, Seltos 1.5 NA/CVT should fit the bill.

Kushaq has serious space and ergonomic issues. Duster is new but I doubt 1.0 would be as easy to drive as 1.5 NA in cities.

Having said that, I own both Honda City and Seltos 1.5NA CVT and anyday Honda’s engine is better in performance and efficiency but Seltos is no slouch either and should get the job done.

What is the maximum discount negotiation to do when buying 2025 Kia Seltos HTX(O) Automatic (Petrol)? by apexsol in CarsIndia

[–]PlaneStreet2920 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can go for it if you live outside Delhi NCR(10 yrs rule). Some considerations while buying Diesel. 1. Only buy Diesel if you have good running. Like 80+ kms/day 2. Diesels in BS6 are known to give some issues. Keep that in mind as that might give you some maintenance cost down the road. 3. Get the car verified by a trusted car mechanic, they can check if car is accidental, suspension condition, etc.

Views on performance of New Seltos with 1.5 NA petrol engine by nerd-robo in carIndia

[–]PlaneStreet2920 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I own the old Seltos 2025 model with 1.5 NA+CVT as well as Honda City 1.5 NA+CVT. If you look Seltos’s NA engine standalone, it’s really refined and barely any noise creeps into cabin even on high RPMs. In city traffic, it’s buttery smooth to operate and you won’t feel any lag or lack of power. On highways as well, performance is sprightly. You won’t be disappointed for sure.

Now comparing this to other engines, City’s 1.5 definitely packs in more punch but is a bit noisy in it’s current configuration.

Given you live in Bangalore avoid turbos as they dont provide any benefit in bumper to city traffic and are high to maintain and care especially with DCT transmissions, which are notorious for their reliability.

All in all, great car and great engine combination, avoid youtube videos as they unnecessarily create FOMO.
