@Ralizah Yeah, there’s an implied narrative out there than 1 Concord negates 20 high quality releases. 😅
And I know your list was not intended to be exhaustive but… Shadow of the Erd Tree, Star Wars Outlaws, Rise of the Ronin, Banishers, Black Myth Wukong, Prince of Persia, … and some new to PlayStation like HiFi Rush, Sea of Thieves, Palworld… to say nothing of the highly rated indies and AA projects out there, too many to count (Balatro, Vampire Survivors, Animal Well, …) And we still have a couple big titles coming like Dragon Age, Life is Strange, Marvel Rivals, Lego Horizon all yet to come at the end of year.
Gamers just can’t be pleased. 😄

@Ralizah Yeah same. I can imagine if you only play new releases and certain types of games, you might struggle for something. Personally I'm so removed from the release cadence that I would be OK for stuff to play if there were no new games for a year or two.
But I think I might come off the internet if that were to happen.
Most people that play games probably don't even care, and it is the vocal minority that complain online about stuff like there being nothing to play.

Maybe a bit of a naive question, but since Star Wars Outlaws requires a download, is it possible to buy the disc and play it without disc after installing? Or is it still recognised as a physical version and requires the disc to be played?
Normally I'd buy the digital version as the physical copy is completely pointless, but the physical version is €55, instead of €80 for the digital download. So it's a way better deal.
@PorkChopExpress Some people will point out most of those are third party/timed exclusives and do not count. Count towards what, I do not know. For me it doesn't really matter as first party games are only one of many reasons for choosing a platorm to play video games on.
With the typical AAA games that Sony has found success in recent times taking longer and costing more to develop, they have struck deals with more third party developers this gen. It is just a different way of doing things, and just because a game hasn't been devloped by a first party team doesn't mean it ceases to exist. PS5 has still sold remarkelbly well, so the arguemt that some use that you need exclusives to sell a console does not hold weight this gen.

Anyone have any opinions on the best controllers you can get for PS5? Be they third party or Dualsense Edge flavoured.
For regular narrative games and low intensity gameplay I'm happy with the regular dualsense, especially as it has all the haptics, but I'm guessing the fact I play Fifa/FC games kind of makes stick drift more common for me, as they are very left analogue stick intensive games, and I'm tired of loading up an RPG to see my character wander off of their own accord or menus skip about in the home screen 😭
I was considering maybe just getting something more robust for the sports games, haptics be damned, or getting the Dualsense Edge for regular games as it has the haptics available, and just continuing to abuse regular controllers for sports games 😬
There is a Nacon with Hall Effect triggers, but it looks a bit horrible and has a non PS layout, no haptics etc. But maybe that would be okay for just sports games.
There's Scuff that look nice, but I'm not sure what else they really bring to the party in terms of durability or features.
Anyone with experience of a bunch of different controllers and what they are best suited for? Any recommendations? 🍻
One of the things that puts me off with the Dual Sense Edge (apart from the price), is that the battery lasts less than a normal Dual Sense. Feels like you are paying way more for a lesser product in my eyes. I know it does a improve a lot more other stuff, it is just a shame the battery wasn't improved.

@JohnnyShoulder I had a quick look for that, it seems like it's more of just a guy or a very small company rather than something more substantial, and then some "influencer" videos, which just annoy me tbh as you can't trust them to be genuine 😅
There was a reddit thread complaining about issues too, and how people "contact the company through facebook to get a response" which just seems weird and not for me. I like things I buy to be properly guaranteed and legit with a proper customer service procedure.
It's crazy how so few companies are offering these controller options, though.

Think that’s another DualSense f*cked, my second one. Terrible drift for over a year but recently got so bad that I couldn’t really play anything. Now it’s randomly completely disconnecting and not turning on unless I bash it off the ground a few times, guessing loose connection somewhere as I opened it up and couldn’t see anything obvious. Weird thing is, I can tell when the controller’s receiving power again as the LED is lighting up in one specific area to the left of where it normally glows, even when it’s not connected.
@Th3solution you were asking about gyro aim (or whatever it's called) at some point. When I checked out Horizon earlier I realised the perfect set up for it in games that allow it:
Set y axis to sensitive and x axis off, or low as possible, and it makes aim controls (especially for inverted aim connoisseurs) super snappy and responsive, for sure. All you have to worry about on the right stick is handling the left and right aim, and a small tilt will tweak for up and down and it just gives your thumbs a helping hand and makes it much more comfortable for quickly aiming as you can fully commit to one direction with your thumb and use the motion control to convert it to diagonal and vertical movements while not having to shift your thumb from the direction your already moving.
Obviously left and right you're going to be covering a total of 360 degrees of motion in most games in 3d worlds, so it is best left to the analogue, but the degree of an aiming arc in a regular game vertically is much, much smaller, probably 40/50 degrees maximum most of the time, as you aren't shooting your feet or the ground, or aiming straight up into the sky.
It could easily be the future of how aiming should work in games tbh and games should maybe be designed around it more.
It probably works best for people used to inverted camera controls, too, as the tilt makes sense logically in the 3d space on the y axis of the controller.

@Ravix Man, that sounds intriguing. Might have to adopt that.
I’ve shared my story on here in the past about inverted control schemes. I originally was an invert weirdo with my controls but a game (I think it was inFamous) didn’t have an inverted option and so I retrained my brain to use the standard set up and now I use it all the time. I really struggle if a game has a section where the controls switch to inverted as sometimes occurs when your character grabs a turret and the frame of reference changes to first person for a short section, or when your character gets into a flying apparatus and the controls suddenly change, for example. But I could probably be reformed again to adopt the kooky invert mindset.
