I have yet to play it, but curious if they’ve addressed the framerate on PS5 yet. I’d prefer to pick it up on PlayStation, but it’s definitely got more drops and stutters on PS5 from what I’ve seen.

Astro Bot, Lollipop Chainsaw RePop, and Helldivers 2.

HellDivers 2 came out of nowhere for me and has been so much fun. Looking forward to Stellar Blade.

It’s a really fun golf game. Obviously not everyone’s cup of tea, but I enjoy a round or two here and there.

I bought it cheap and it’s actually a solid game. Definitely worth trying out.

@Weebleman agreed. HellDivers 2 was a pleasant surprise and I’m excited for Stellar Blade.

@Ravensbane The Quasar Cannon is really good if you’re running with a well-equipped team. Can do a lot without needing to reload.

@Bentleyma both of the Unleashed games are really good! I was pleasantly surprised as well!

@Kidfunkadelic83 Chargers are easy to kill. These things, not so much. Yet. 😄

Still gonna outsell anything else on PlayStation.

@Anti-Matter it’s not cheaper though.

@PenguinLtd I loved it. Very much worth it if you’re a Star Wars fan.

It’s definitely happening to a few players. Certainly not everyone, but it is a thing. I suspect it’s a combination of things. The PS5 can for sure accumulate dust and buildup in the internals. If your warranty is up watch a video and take it apart enough to clean out the heat sinks and fan. Not hard to do and will certainly eliminate one potential cause of problems like this.

I’m definitely intrigued, but having not played the prior entries AND knowing From Software, I don’t want to play a game so difficult if it’s beyond frustrating. I don’t mind some challenge, but don’t want it to be Souls hard. At this point in my life fun is most important. I guess that can mean different things to different people.

This site of all sites complaining about exclusivity? Seriously? 😄

PS1 and it’s not close.

Why does this site console war? Nintendo Life and Pure Xbox don’t do this. Pretty weak.

@blockfight they’re not tough to find. They’re literally everywhere now. Which is a good thing.

Yeah. This game is DOA.

@Max_the_German yeah this site is the only one of the three that does it. Nintendo Life and Pure Xbox don’t fanboy, but lately Push Square has really gone in. I own them all so I don’t have to miss anything, but it’s weird to feed the toxicity. Corporate slavism has always baffled me. Sony isn’t paying the average fanboy’s bills, but you’d think they have personal stakes in PS5 success.

Hoping Robocop is great

Yeah, it will definitely top 50 million total this fiscal year. I’m more an Xbox guy than PS5 fan (have both), but Sony has already won this generation handily.

I’d settle for a Sony Blue controller. Not a fan of the pastels. Right now I’m rocking black factory plates and a black Dualsense.

I immediately pointed that out to my wife, laughed and said “that’s nowhere near Boston.” 🤣

Playing it on GamePass.

I’m sure it will affect only a small percentage of consoles, but having watched many, many repair videos, this IS a thing on the PS5. Whether or not it becomes a more widespread issue over time remains to be seen, but to scoff or ignore it would be just as silly as panicking. It has happened and multiple repair shops have reported it. It’s a very unique design and with so many out there, there WILL be a few issues crop up here and there. I’ve never had any issues with mine and I’m hoping it stays that way.

I appreciate the sim aspects of these games, but would love one with more arcade-style handling. I don’t have the skills. 😄

Really easy to get now. Even the Digital Edition stayed on Direct for HOURS. It’s good when things are easily available for purchase.

Absolutely sad to see DIRT go. I loved DIRT 5.

Top Gear holds up very well. Was fantastic on the SNES.

I own an Elite 2 controller for Xbox as I got a sale price, but just don’t see the point in this one yet. The Dualsense is already really feature-rich, and I have two of them. I might get one at some point but am pretty happy with the standard controller. $200 is a bit high.

A new Motorstorm would make me happy beyond words.

@Eran not sure what country you’re in, but in the US they drop PS5’s every week somewhere. Anyone in the US that doesn’t have one yet can’t afford it or doesn’t really want one. They sat available for purchase on Sony Direct for hours last week.

Will keep an eye on this one. I enjoyed MX vs. ATV All-Out.

I love Dirt 5. Dirt 4 is really good too. I hope the arcadey off-road games don’t disappear. Sounds like they’re about too though.

VRR is not even working right on my 2021 Bravia TV. Good luck getting it this year on PS5.

@xyopic same here. Kind of a bummer.

PS5 will outsell Series consoles but it won’t be 2:1. Series X still sells out and a ton of people have bought the Series S as a second console. Owning a PS5 and a Series X I can honestly say they’re both great.

It will be much closer in North America as it currently is. PlayStation is resting on last generation and Microsoft is making power moves right now. They’re serious about it this generation. Yes, PlayStation has all the cultural popularity but a lot of people are buying an Xbox and playing in its ecosystem. If you’re denying that you’re not being honest with yourself. 2:1 for 2022 is a bit high. It won’t be 1:1 but it will be close. This isn’t 2013-2020.

Not a fan of the pastels. Do have a Midnight Black one though.

Got it for the Switch. Will get for the PS5. For the money it’s a lot of fun.

Glad they added it. The store has definitely gotten better and easier to browse recently.

Eh, it has some things that could be improved upon, but overall it’s a very fun game. Multiplayer is nearly a must for this type of game anyway. I’m not saying it GOTY, but people have way too critical opinions towards almost everything short of a 1st party release these days. It’s a shooter where you get to kill gobs of zombies. It’s best played with friends and family. It’s not quite as simple as L4D, but some things give you more flexibility and options in your character. Very few games are absolutely perfect (if any). I think if you like this kind of thing, give it a chance and find a few buddies or online friends to play it with. It can be a blast:

@Sakisa that’s the truth, and it’s overlooked. Plus a lot of Xbox players have Series S, which is easier to find (and many PS as primary players have the Series S for GP and future Xbox exclusives), so we would need digital sales to paint the full picture. Playstation is always going to outsell Xbox, but Xbox isn’t hurting this generation so far. You still can’t get a Series X (especially the Halo Edition) any easier than a PS5, so somebody is buying them. It’s a good time to be a gamer, regardless.

@Denni5m it’s cheap to add one. I’d put something on there.

I put my own heatsink on my WD. If you can figure out how to put it in the PS5, you can add a heatsink. WD’s factory heatsink looks great, this one looks like the one I paid $10 for.

I’m in her minority here, but I agree. A lot of games these days just make assumptions. Sure, you can find the control scheme under options, but for new or inexperienced gamers, that’s not always easy either.
I even find myself missing out on special moves or combos sometimes because there’s just not a lot of explanation. I eventually figure things out, but I do agree that too many games just assume you know how to play everything.

I miss the days where you had a manual to prep you. 😄

This has me excited. I know it’s not for everyone, but Dirt 5 has been one of my top 3 games in the last year. It’s a fantastic arcade racer with quite a bit of polish. It’s just plain fun and gorgeous to look at. Codemasters is doing good work for this genre of game.

Willing to give it a chance, but overall not happy about this, based on Destruction. This is a big franchise for long-time PS fans, I would have thought they’d put more in to it. Then I remember this is the “new” Sony.

@daveofduncan first party games are $60 on Xbox. Not a fanboy, it’s just the truth.

@Col_McCafferty sales wise, yes. The PS5 is riding the success of the PS4 and the cultural impact of the brand. Experience wise, the jury is still out. I think the hardware is fine. The management and decision making is not endearing anyone, except the most die-hard of the fanboys who think Sony can do no wrong.
