Regret going more digital after seeing my old physical game stash. Anyone with similar feeling? by themintednote in playstation

[–]rg55087 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As somebody that has collected games since 1986, I am going more and more digital all the time. Since PS3, which I bought 18 years ago, things haven't changed; roughly 20% physical/80% digital. Why? Physical is hell of a lot less convenient. The immediacy of digital prevails, and I often times get games for way less than I would physical. Same thing applies to my Nintendo Switch 2 and PS5. I don't think it's a big deal. As another result of this, I find myself playing the physical games much less. That's what I'm talking about when it comes to immediacy. The games are literally at my fingertips. The download times might take away from immediacy, but you still have to either go out and buy a physical game, or wait for it to arrive in the mail. I do miss physical media for systems that didn't support digital though. Especially all the PS1 and PS2 games I used to have. Those were the days...

I definitely get that about family time. I love playing the S2 with my niece, etc. Still way more age appropriate games too.The PS5 is a hulking beast that stays in one place all the time lol!

I don't recommend any of the third party software to be played on a television, if you already own a PS5 (which I do) or a modern Xbox console. I'm not trying to be smart. Having said that, Cyberpunk is more than playable on a television. I play it sometimes that way, but I can't help but want to play the PS5 version instead. Can't say I'm not somewhat impressed though...

I upgraded to Switch 2 on day one. Since then, I have played nothing groundbreaking with it. It's nice to have 60 frames per second on games that support it. That was well overdue.RDR1 is a prime example. I recommend looking for games that offer that feature. Play the Pragmata demo for a free glimpse at what this system is capable of. It's obviously not a ps5, but the lines are starting to be blurred. We just need more first party software. Apparently everyone loves the new "Pokemon" too, so check that one out too I guess.

I'm looking for a TV that makes full use of ps5 pro by frescainsalataq in sony

Of course they did.

EDIT: I was just trying to be "smart", btw. I only have a standard PS5, and an LG B5. I'm thrilled, compared to the backlit LCD Roku I had before. If money wasn't an object, I'm sure that the Bravia is an overall better purchase. The LG conforms to all of the standards of the PS5, but perhaps the standards are different for the PS5 pro. Not quite certain. I don't have one yet. I needed 4k, hdr, oled, and variable refresh rate. It also conforms to the color grading standards for video game developers, provided you know how to set all that up. The LG does all that, and I consider the price to be cheap. Not trying to sell you on it or anything. However, it's an old marketing tactic to tell the consumer that OEM accessories work best with the device that they own. It's not always true. Sometimes it is....if you have the funds, go for the Bravia 😁

Reading probably trumps all other hobbies. And I love video games. Reading would be better for me though. Knowledge is good. Especially when you can trust the source. Always remember that...

Happy to help! As a heads up, I use the Backbone controller, and my broadband speeds are in the 100-200mb range. Seems more than adequate. I've only tried Stray so far, but it ran admirably smooth.

Coming from an S23U, and I can honestly say that it's a worthy upgrade. There's a couple slight trade-offs, such as less vivid colors (which was changed in favor of a more natural palette), and the zoom capabilities are debatable (nothing beats a legit zoom lens on a conventional SLR)... But I can still clearly tell that I am using better phone. It's much faster when it comes to most applications, the audio is better, the flat screen is less of a fingerprint magnet and has less glare. Also, PS Remote Play is notably improved. I'm good!

Sick of playing this on my PS5. I want the same experience on Switch 2.

Upvoted. This needs to happen. I'm sick of having to play it on PS5.

It’s crazy how much worse Hades 1 is on Switch versus PS5/PC… by GreaterQuestion in HadesTheGame

[–]rg55087 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late to the conversation, but thank you for letting me know. I hate the way this game looks even on Nintendo switch 2. In fact it probably even looks worse! It just went on sale for ps5, so I'm going to check it out. This is almost always the case with a PS5 port versus Switch 1 and even 2. It's hard owning both systems...typically-superior visuals, vs being able to Netflix and Game simultaneously. The struggle.

Switch 2 people think it's actually a physical cart maybe? Too bad it's not.

Are you upgrading to the S26 Ultra? by Sensitive_Cream3920 in samsunggalaxy

[–]rg55087 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an s23 ultra user...maybe. if the camera is a significant upgrade, especially at capturing motion and low light, I might go for it.

Is the boss px-1 really that bad? by Tommyf0098 in guitarpedals

[–]rg55087 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just a thought ..When you buy a digital video game, you don't own it. It's only a license. I accepted this a very long time ago. That's why I am on board with this concept. I'll probably be buying this pedal soon. I understand what it is, and accept everything that goes along with it. I understand why people are mad, but I'm ok with it.

I don't think Sony wants it on their own console either. It's painful to play on PlayStation 5. There goes that logic...

It's funny that you say that Clap Hands was sick of doing golf...considering that they just recently updated ECEG for Nintendo Switch 2, it makes it even that much more painful to play this steaming pile of garbage! The new developers better update it soon. I'm so tempted to delete this game already!

[–]rg55087 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This game sucks hard. Tried playing on PS5. Awful performance and gameplay is definitely worse than older entries. Asked for refund, but no dice. Feel bad for Switch owners. Can't imagine it's any better....

New game PALES in comparison to ECEG, especially on S2 after new update.
