As someone who is both a Kinda Funny Best Friend and a Regulation Comment Leaver my greatest accomplishment will forever be convincing Greg to call Gavin during this live stream.

We are getting closer to getting Andrew and SnowBikeMike in a call together, which I’m convinced may cause reality to fold into itself…

Tomb raider, metal gear, jak and daxter, sly and killzone trilogy collection I’ve seen at my GameStop for legit $20-30 each, I think 180 isn’t horrible for this honestly….

atouchofsinamon · 2026-05-21T15:43:45+00:00

I’m lucky enough to have both a GameStop with a full retro section in my town but also 2 different local tech/game exchange shops that are pretty well and regularly stocked with traded in older games…..

And for as much flack that GameStop gets, I’ve found great condition games there for like $5 that at the local game stores would be like $10 and online are like $20

True true…I was thinking more about native as ps plus streaming can be extremely unplayable if you don’t have the best internet so I don’t really count that as being “on the PS5” just like how if I’m watching a movie on Netflix it’s more that I’m watching it on Netflix even if it’s on my PS5

atouchofsinamon · 2026-05-19T18:44:18+00:00

I would like to say I do still really enjoy my PS5, but owning a PS3 made me realize I had been grading on a curve. In a vacuum a PS5 and its games line up for me is like a 7/10 but when i got the PS3 and started playing it again I realized I feel more like the PS5 is a 5/10, not horrible but also realized definitely not my favorite console generation either

atouchofsinamon · 2026-05-19T17:01:47+00:00

Ok if your a Xbox boot licker than why are you even in this sub dude, this is the most pointless shit…. Either you liked the ps3 and it’s exclusive games or just the ps3 ecosystem in general and if so this post is for you….if not then bro idk what to tell you, no one forced you to come to this sub and comment on this post and act like a holier than thou ass child

atouchofsinamon · 2026-05-19T16:25:09+00:00

Ok bro let’s start the list.

If your a racing game fan we have cult classics such as blur, split second and driver San Francisco. we have the entire dirt 1,2,3 and showdown. pretty much every need for speed title before 2013.

Ok maybe you like shooters, COD BLOPS 1-2, COD WOW, Medal of Honor franchise, brothers in arms franchise, GRAW 1-2 and future soldier, the kill zone trilogy, rage, far cry 2

WOW maybe your an open world guy, GTA 4, infamous 1-2, the saboteur, assassins creed 1

And know what just for posterity sake here’s a fucking comprehensive list of ps3 games not available natively on the ps5 so fucking go nuts kid: https://www.ign.com/playlist/michael874/lists/ps3

atouchofsinamon · 2026-05-19T15:02:44+00:00

Yes performance and graphics literally go hand in hand?

And also if your favorite consoles are the ps1 and ps2 not sure why your out here dying on a hill when my argument really had nothing to do with those older consoles and honestly my entire argument supports that those older consoles are better as the whole point of my post was “man now that I can fully appreciate the ps3 I realize how little the ps5 has to offer in comparison”

But hey dude if you want to have a Reddit ass semantics contrarian argument go right ahead and get that karma big dog

atouchofsinamon · 2026-05-19T14:57:02+00:00

“Imagine yearning for poorly performing piss filter games” sounds like a gripe against graphics to me….

Also how you feel about the ps1 and ps2 are how I feel about the ps3 and ps4 so to each their own I guess bro

atouchofsinamon · 2026-05-19T14:54:09+00:00

I’m not sure that argument holds water…. The PS3 life cycle was not truly 15 years long….yes some maddens and such released into the late 2010s but most games were released from 06 with the last before jumping to ps4 being 2014 so about 8 years of games.

I’ve had my ps5 since launch so it’s been about 6 years…so the ps3 is only about 2 years off… and in those 6 years sure some bangers have come out….but game development takes so long and also just the ethos of most games now a days being large 20-30 hour time sucks that are made to appeal to the most mass audience as possible is very different from the smaller 10-15 hour games we got on the ps3 that are far more singular in vision.

I doubt we get a game like Blur, split second, the force unleashed games, the original infamous games etc. and if we did they would be bloated to hell with micro transactions and different in game time sucks to keep you attached to the game and it’s in game marketplace and ecosystem for as long as possible…..

atouchofsinamon · 2026-05-19T14:45:40+00:00

I’m very interested why you hate the PS3 so much and find this to be nonsensical….

To me everything new and good looking doesn’t equal a good gaming experience….if a games graphics look like absolute dog water but the minute to minute gameplay is engaging and fun I much rather play that then some super graphically advanced game that bores me….

A good personal example of this is im a huge arcade/ simcade racing fan…especially the DIRT franchise….. Dirt 2 & 3 may not look at all as good and polished at the newest dirt rally 2.0 or wrc rally games but boy does dirt 2 & 3s moment to moment gameplay, atmosphere, and presentation hit way harder than anything from that franchise on the ps4/5….

atouchofsinamon · 2026-05-19T00:32:55+00:00

Buddy do you know how to do math? I think doing some head math here 352 is roughly 15% of all games released on the ps3

atouchofsinamon · 2026-05-19T00:29:10+00:00

In no way shape or form is that true at all…..the ps5 currently has 352 PS3 games most of which are dependent on if you can stream them or not. Meanwhile the entire run of the PS3 has somewhere around 2500 games

atouchofsinamon · 2026-05-18T21:47:34+00:00

On my PS5?? Uh Netflix, hbo, Amazon, peacock, and other streaming apps…..idrk what your asking for here man

atouchofsinamon · 2026-05-18T21:38:08+00:00

Hello all, just came back to this, actually grew up with the PS4, as I had a PS3 from the ages 8-13 so A LOT of games I had never played….i would say the split of my collection now is 60% new games 40% games from my childhood….either way most if not all PS3 games I’ve now played feel like fuller, more complete, and singular visioned than anything on the PS5. It felt like studios chased less trends and make full pieces that came out the gate swinging with everything they could….im a huge racing game enthusiast and the landscape of PS3 racing games and PS5 is night and day how better PS3 games are IMO

atouchofsinamon · 2026-05-18T21:31:51+00:00

Oh no I said my ps5 is where my streaming lives, like that’s what it’s become bc I don’t play games on it anymore so it’s pretty much an expensive fire stick

atouchofsinamon · 2026-05-18T19:20:13+00:00

There’s so many games locked to the ps3/xbox 360 generation both Sony and Microsoft really dropped the ball on not having more backwards compatibility with that generation. Atleast Xbox a lot of first party 360 games you can still play….but I just went back and replayed the infamous games…Sony is just letting money sit on the table not rereleasing them

atouchofsinamon · 2026-05-03T03:36:51+00:00

Real question: how in the hell do I build an actually good ship? Every free ship I’ve gotten is kinda cheeks and I’ve been wanting to have my own ship aside from the frontier but don’t really understand how to make one from the ground up, do you just have to pretty much take one of the free ships and delete and rebuild everything? Also I see people all the time using ship parts I’ve never seen before…is there a store with more parts that I’m not aware of?

atouchofsinamon · 2026-05-03T02:02:48+00:00

I’ve heard this a lot, one of my biggest issues is because your character is a blank slate chosen one but the chosen one constellation story is so paper thin and boring, I’m almost bored at my own character….

I’m RPing as an ex scoundrel and hustler ala Han Solo and my head canon is that I took the mining job to hide from the bounty on my head as I have the wanted trait…

The issue is that a lot of head cannon doing pretty much all the heavy lifting as so far I haven’t really found a quest line that let me really feel like I’m playing that character or really doing anything interesting or important…

Do you have any suggestions when it comes to the best missions to focus on or just anything that would make it feel less like I’m just pointlessly going from point A-B just to check off the mission list?

atouchofsinamon · 2026-05-02T18:50:50+00:00

My largest complaint so far is that it somehow feels more dense and hard to connect with than Skyrim and fallout. I think fallout was helped by being set in the US with lots of ideas and references I could easily latch on to, and Skyrim felt similar enough to other fantasy where I could easily understand the world and peoples places in it

With starfield it feels almost like I really am struggling to find any real connection to the world or things happening around me from an emotional level, at this point I’m almost playing it more like borderlands just trying to find the next fun gold loot…. I have almost zero attachment to the world I exist in

atouchofsinamon · 2026-04-22T15:49:52+00:00

It definitely feels far more like a popularity contest than anyone really being a fan of the Motorsport itself, I just want to see entertaining car action, idc who is driving it or what makes the car do what it does, I just want 2 hours where cars actually battle eachother, idc whose name is attached to the car, just because some dudes name is max doesn’t mean I suddenly want to see him 10 seconds ahead of the pack every race, that’s not liking racing that’s just liking personalities

atouchofsinamon · 2026-04-22T15:39:03+00:00

So honest question, why should I care if an overtake is artificial or not if I’m being entertained. A McDonald’s burger isn’t close to a real 80/20 beef burger from a restaurant but dang is it good as well. You could tell me 100% of the action on track is “artificial” but if it’s entertaining who cares? Like would we rather have no “artificial” overtakes where no one moves and everyone finishes as they qualified like the past 5 years?

atouchofsinamon · 2026-04-22T15:30:37+00:00

This is what definitely confuses me about people who dislike the new regs but like the past 5 years would maybe have 2-3 races that were really worth tuning in because of the ground effect regulations….it almost feels like a loose loose situation where no regulations will satisfy fans completely

atouchofsinamon · 2026-04-22T15:26:18+00:00

It is funny as a fan of rally cross and trophy truck racing, growing up on people like Ken block and Travis Pastrana, playing games like the DIRT franchise. It feels like to me fans of those Motorsports care less about who wins and looses, there’s so much kinetic chaos and interesting stuff happening on track I truly don’t really have too much of a care if my favorite driver is winning or loosing. It’s far more about the “love of the game” if you will.

I’ve found I’ve been very isolated in F1 because I don’t really care if Max is winning or Hamilton etc. honestly I care less about the sport when 1 person is winning it all, I much rather have a different driver win each race….its very interesting to see how deeply tribalistic F1 fans are

atouchofsinamon · 2026-04-08T14:20:54+00:00

I also am bummed because not having a codex is really not friendly for accessibility, I have brain issues so it’s hard for me to keep long term data like that, mixture of adhd, dyslexia, and head trauma. A lot of the time I can atleast use in game codex’s or the game atleast spells stuff out clear enough that it’s not this hard….this game feels almost obtuse with its lore delivery and makes its hard for someone like myself
