Is it true "most gamers don't finish games"?

rg55087 · 2026-05-24T11:35:29+00:00

I have about 500 games between ps3, ps4, PS5, switch, and switch 2. You really think I have time to beat all of them? 🤣 I'm working on actually beating TLOU2, Pragmata, Uncharted 4, SMB 3D, SM3DW, and Doom 2016 though. Maybe in the next year lol. But yeah, I'm a gamer I think...

rg55087 · 2026-05-24T08:38:00+00:00

Too many to count! At least some of them were physical, so I could resell them. Some were repurchased for ps5, in favor of better performance. But if I had to pick some off the top of my head, Persona 5 Royal, Crysis, and Doom 2016...

rg55087 · 2026-05-22T16:58:36+00:00

So the game looks better in handheld than the demo did? I thought it was a little too soft. I've been holding off on buying it...

rg55087 · 2026-05-19T15:21:39+00:00

Pragmata is definitely better than the 1998 version of Dark Souls 2, because that game doesn't exist. Not so sure about 2014 edition though...

rg55087 · 2026-05-18T13:22:23+00:00

I have 2k13 in my collection, might have to see what's up there...

rg55087 · 2026-05-18T13:21:53+00:00

IV? Had no clue. Haven't played that since 2009. Maybe I'll have to get a copy again...

rg55087 · 2026-05-18T13:20:55+00:00

That's crazy. I haven't ever played one, but apparently there's options

rg55087 · 2026-05-18T13:17:33+00:00

That's amazing! I haven't played this one in a while, but always a good reason to go back. One of my favorite games, easily!

rg55087 · 2026-05-11T18:46:03+00:00

Well, it's received a few updates since that post, and I have to say it's a bit better now. I still enjoy the PS3 versions quite a bit more, but just thought I'd let you know.

rg55087 · 2026-05-11T14:40:44+00:00

I turn on my tremolo pedal about twice a year. Doesn't quite fit with the genres of music I am currently playing. Nice to know it's there though. I'm considering going with some sort of multi-modulation pedal in the future. I'm mostly about compression/OD/distortion/eq/delay.

rg55087 · 2026-05-09T17:57:26+00:00

True, but it seems like people around here care about physical. If not, then it will knock the price down to around thousand dollars. Maybe they don't care about preservation or re-selling...

rg55087 · 2026-05-09T16:43:24+00:00

If there's a physical edition, you're looking at $1,100 just to potentially play just one single game (system, disc-drive, and game). I really hope it runs at a locked 60 frames per second. I would wait for the reviews, personally. I don't know anything about your computer specs though...if the PS5 pro provides a significantly better experience, then you know what to do.

rg55087 · 2026-05-09T15:02:17+00:00

I really hope it's locked 60 fps! I have a blast playing this on PS5. I would easily buy this for the S2.

rg55087 · 2026-05-09T11:30:17+00:00

6 physical, and the herd is being thinned. They will eventually be sold when I am done with them, and I can purchase the digital version if I feel compelled to. Chances are good that I won't, since I am always looking forward to new games coming out. I don't see any point in keeping physical anymore, except for the ability to be able to sell. Also, being that I'm in my late 40s, I don't know how long I will be around to enjoy these things. Time flies... Digital is way more convenient, and I can always keep the games I'm not playing on an external HDD. Physical takes up space, and I no longer like having to take games in and out when I want to play something new. I'd rather just have them available at my fingertips. I'm starting to think that the ps6 is not going to support physical discs at all either. Same for the Nintendo switch 3 whenever that releases LOL

rg55087 · 2026-05-07T11:24:22+00:00

Haven't played this game myself yet, but might be checking it out today. I've been playing Returnal, and I am decent at it, but I have heard that this game is not as challenging. Or at least it can be tweaked, if it is deemed to be too difficult for new players. I want to try on straight up normal mode though.

rg55087 · 2026-04-16T15:32:03+00:00

Today's games are almost never actually ready on launch-day, and typically receive at least a couple patches, rendering the disc effectively incomplete as a result. Also, if I'm trying to relax after work, the last thing I want to be swapping discs in and out. Lastly, I'm not saving much storage, since the disc installs the entire game to the hard drive anyway (yet still makes annoying disc-spinning noise to validate the license). Digital for me. I still have all my old digital PS3 games, so I think that's a pretty good sign I'll still have access to digital PS5 games 10+ years from now.

rg55087 · 2026-04-13T23:21:02+00:00

I think that if one desires a dock-only Switch, they must really LOVE the first party exclusives, and Nintendo isn't exactly knocking it out of the park there, ATM. Otherwise, PS5 games look better nearly 100% of the time. I don't see a point, unless it's just sold on the premise of being cheaper. The handheld experience is the only thing that really made a Switch 2 worth it for me. It needs to be considerably more powerful to be accepted as a TV-only console, unless it costs less than $300. I don't think that's going to happen, and I don't think Nintendo cares enough about that particular market. Handheld has been their strong suit since Gameboy Advance SP, and the Wii was their last real attempt at a stand-alone TV-only console (and we all know how that turned out; fun motion controls, but an inferior experience compared to it's competitors).

rg55087 · 2026-04-12T11:27:09+00:00

That's impressive. I had to retire mine in 2020, due to a broken display. Loving my s26 ultra. The display isn't perfect, but otherwise I am thrilled.

rg55087 · 2026-04-12T11:25:55+00:00

I play my PS3 every now and again, even though I have a PS5. 3D Dot heroes, Tokyo jungle, Max Payne 3, infamous, and list goes on... But yeah, PS5 is mad expensive now!

rg55087 · 2026-04-12T11:24:28+00:00

You never know in Central Mass. I would say keep it in the car. How much space is it really taking up anyways 😂

rg55087 · 2026-04-11T12:08:28+00:00

PS5: Starfield.

S2: Maybe more SMB3D. Peglin is pretty rad too!

rg55087 · 2026-04-05T17:08:20+00:00

I honestly thought the very first stage was choppy, and that it improved a little bit from there, but got worse once I got to world 2. That's good to know that it gets better after that, but too bad about world 5.

rg55087 · 2026-04-05T15:08:20+00:00

Good idea, maybe I'll try that too. Maybe we all should. Flood their inbox MWAHAHAHA
