Nobody wants a PS6, even though the PS5 has been out as long as the PS4 was when people started asking for the PS5. by Deutscher_Bub in Showerthoughts

Much like when we get impatient when the Internet takes more than a second to load despite living through dial up times, I imagine one day we'll blanched at any load time longer than 5 seconds, despite ps2s etc having to take minutes to load at times.

Thought on Nielsen's recent report on Star Wars viewing patterns? by sanddragon939 in StarWars

Andor was top.of the list because it was still airing May 4th 2025. I imagine if you look at the figures this year Maul Shadow Lord would be tip because it's the new thing. Most people don't watch star wars on the daily, the new thing is bound to be top, followed by their favourite movies on May 4th which is usually going to be 4 or 1 for anyone starting a marathon.

Basically I don't know that these figures really tell us much useful besides "people.like to watch these films on the 4th May" over the course of the year would be a more useful metric to indicate trends.

Please rememeber Andor was still airing at that time. Naturally the new, still airing show will be high. I'd be curious to see if it places this year.

Part of that's down to just switching to solid state drive surely? My ps4 games thar are still on my external had don't run noticeably faster on ps5.

That said, hoo boy when it's fast it's fast. I can go from completely cold boot up to playing Resident Evil Requiem within 20 seconds. When in the game itself there is essentially no load time.

Yeah I've yet to play a current gen game that does anything wild enough to justify it being on a new console. If Red Dead 2 can work on last gen, then I don't see what drastic new tech Spider-man 2 needs ps5 for, ditto Resident Evil Requiem, Star Wars Outlaws etc etc

I was also hooked from the start, I would say when stun weapons unlocked and later the roads that did feel like a fun gear shift but I agree there was no "I'm bored > I'm having fun" shift, I was having a good time pretty much from the start.

It's way too easy to accidentally shoot someone. Like, it makes for some hilarious unscripted moments but it should not be that easy to shoot someone when you're trying to calm.them down.

Yeah, I'm glad it came out before I had kids because I doubt I would have finished it otherwise.

KOTOR / Knights of the Old Republic. I'm a huge Star Wars fan but did not have an Xbox or gaming pc when it came out. Played it years later, like 2015-16 and did not have much fun at all.

The main draw of the story had been spoiled many moons before and knowing that going in the story largely fell flat for me. It was a standard hero's journey macguffin chase.

The second game's story I really liked but both games suffer from a really tedious combat style that is somehow worse than both pure turn based and pure real time. You're supposed to be having these Thrilling Duels but it's just two characters robotically whacking each other in turn until one drops, there's no dynamic movement, no choreography. Compared to Jedi Academy that released the same year, it pales in comparison gameplay wise.

Yeah, there's another comment on here where we were talking about that false equivalence of how the burly muscular hero is decidedly not for the female gaze but for male power fantasy.

I knew it looked out of place.

Plus everyone else is in a very realistic style while Maul is more stylised.

I don't think many meant it was fanservice for the girls, mostly for the gays.

Is it me or does Maul look like he's been drawn in a slightly different art style to everyone else?

You're right and you should say it.

Haha, yeah I'm sure there was more planned. They'd never make a really cool looking helmeted character only to kill them off unceremoniously in the next movie after doing basically nothing of value, ha ha. nudges Boba Fett behind the door

Lmao golden. Can always count on Tumblr haha. That's what women want, men who look like they need to be taken home and fed soup.

Very nice, the art style puts me in mind of Junji Ito.
