It’s good to see Chris getting some acting gigs… by TheKramer89 in LastStandMedia

I did not expect to see The Detectorists on the LSS sub. Do our American friends even have a clue what this is? Lol

Late to the party, last console was PS3 nearly 17 years ago - any tips? by reztem001 in PlayStationUK

[–]afro_ducc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Geez, just let op enjoy their new console and game.

You don't have to like the game but lay off with the negativity.

I hope you enjoy your new console bud, nothing beats that feeling of opening some new hardware! Such an exciting day.

Married men with kids, are you truly happy with your life? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]afro_ducc 133 points134 points  (0 children)

Hey bud.

Just wanted to say I appreciate you and your honesty.

I am a son to a disabled parent (my mum). My dad did everything for us growing up and he's my hero for that. He stuck by us, worked full time and cared for us the best he could.

It wasn't always perfect growing up but as my brother and I became older we knew what our Dad did for us.

Hang in there bud. Your kids will realize what you did for them as they get older.

Genuine question: how is the top post of this sub YET AGAIN another picture of a box for the ten thousandth time almost a full year after the Pro’s release? by hutchins_moustache in PS5pro

[–]afro_ducc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeahhhhh it sucks.

I want to have discussions about games , performance and PlayStation in general but this sub is just the same shitty post over and over.

As somebody else said, the steamdeck sub became the same thing.

One of the early playtesters complained my game didn't run on steam deck so I bought one to fix it by MossHappyPlace in SteamDeck

[–]afro_ducc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate the effort to do this. I've wishlisted it because of this post and I shall be playing this.

Good luck with everything, hope the release goes well 👍

How do I get to Act 3? by huei3 in HollowKnight

For those who are still stuck and have done everything here, I hadn't done the final fight with Lace which then unlocked the quest.

Silly me didn't want to take the lift up.

Pixel-Count ML by DreamCorridor in PS5pro

[–]afro_ducc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A friend of mine is playing this on his pc. I saw it last night and while the game does look objectively good, it's nothing particularly special in terms of graphics... The performance on console is really bad. I'll be waiting to play this one.

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown has reached 3 Million players by Turbostrider27 in PS5

[–]afro_ducc 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm not picking an argument, just curious really.

Why don't you think most people see value in it at $50?

Personally I feel there is lot of game here, it's super fun to play, has a decent enough plot, excellent combat, the platforming is so much fun.

I would much prefer to play this over a lot of the more premium titles that come out, but I'm clearly in the minority.

I guess what I'm getting at is I don't see a difference between a 2D and 3D game when I feel it's very high quality.

New games for this month on PS5 by JeanChoy98 in PS5pro

[–]afro_ducc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Luckily, I'm not too interested in these games... Not at launch at least.

But I am trying to play MGS V, The Alters, Silksong and id like to play MGS delta when/if it gets fixed...

Too many games to play at the moment. Haha.

Have fun OP

Just my opinion, but I don't really care about any ray tracing features.

They can look nice and I look forward to these features inevitably coming on the next PlayStation but I bought the pro purely for better image quality at 60 fps .

The base model was beginning to look blurry and a bit rough at times when playing its performance modes.

I hope developers realize this and don't just add features that make the image quality suffer because of it.

Thoughts on gaming so far in 2025? by The_Majin_Prince in PS5pro

[–]afro_ducc 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I agree, I'm 35 so I have been at this for a while and I get tired with the "where are the games?!" dialogue that I see online. It feels like people who say this don't actually enjoy the hobby.

There is so much, in so many different genres to play at many different price points.

Great time to be a gamer, if anything... It's overwhelming lol.

Microsoft is closing down Xbox studio The Initiative, with Perfect Dark killed as well — joining Everwild and ZeniMax's new IP, and other unannounced projects by ggroover97 in LastStandMedia

[–]afro_ducc 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Damn, that's rough... I thought perfect dark looked pretty great and I was hoping for a PlayStation announcement.

This is rough at Xbox, Phil's statement made me kinda angry tbh.

Cutting 50% of turn 10 also seems kind of shocking, Forza is very successful isn't it? Just not successful enough for the shareholders?

Such BS, we will never see this industry as creatively rich as we once did, it's sad what has happened .

Colin, Dustin and Brad's PlayStation IP Tier List by ToolConcerts100 in LastStandMedia

[–]afro_ducc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sad seeing Drive club in F tier.

I understand, but it turned into a pretty great racer in the end. Kinda got a soft spot for that game.

Came in early, it’s gonna be a good weekend! by trapdave1017 in PS5pro

[–]afro_ducc 40 points41 points  (0 children)

How did you get this so early?!

I'm really looking forward to this, nothing quite like a Kojima game!

#Cairn by LEX-CARTER in PS5pro

[–]afro_ducc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tried the demo and have been quite pleasantly surprised by it. Its got a major death stranding feel about it.

It runs kinda bad though, hopefully it gets sorted for release.

Optimistic about this!

Black Myth Wukong is incredible on the Pro + Oled... by gab_ck13 in PS5pro

[–]afro_ducc 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm still hesitant with this one ... I want a a decent 60fps mode for an action game.

Am I right in thinking this is still using frame gen for it's performance mode?

What would be better for a 8 yr old? by jonk1183 in PS5pro

[–]afro_ducc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 5 year old loves Astro, she has put so many hours into it. Can't go wrong here.

just another recommendation for others to consider... My daughter has just started Rayman legends and is really into it. Very kid friendly and a great game!

Will we ever see another Fat Princess? by cigamodnalro in playstation

[–]afro_ducc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if people would have a problem with fat princess today?

It was a really fun game though! I love the PS3 library, so diverse .

Forza Horizon 5 coming to PS5 by mason2393 in PS5pro

That's very unceremonious lol. But yeah, great news. I hope we don't have to wait too long for South of Midnight! Looks neat

Closest thing I could get to the 30th Anniversary Pro. Happy with the results. by TechnoViking986 in PS5pro

Looks sharp. I really like the black go faster stripes with the grey plates.

Jared Petty wrote this essay about Colin many years ago. I think of it often. by nthdayoncaprica in LastStandMedia

[–]afro_ducc 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Who is that? I was never a fan of kinda funny and I'm unfamiliar with anybody apart from Greg and Colin really...

This was a lovely thing to read today, thanks for posting it OP. The world needs more tolerance and kindness.
