Congrats on getting one. I wanted to buy one too, but at our local eBay wannabe in Poland the prices of that thing are nearing the retail price of PS4 when it hit the market. Looking at the gaming world of today I simply felt like the golden days of gaming were the PS2/PS3 days and felt it's a good idea to go back in time 😉 Buying a hacked Vita for PS1 and PSP games certainly helped with that.

Just finished my 3rd playthrough of Until Dawn. I really love the Supermassive Games horror formula so I bought their Dark Pictures Anthology and will be starting Little Hope soon.
Apart from that- got a PS3 so I can go back to stuff like Condemned 2, Motorstorm and Lair (yep, I liked that game). Thinking about buying a PS2, as well, but I'm worried about picture quality on a 4K tv. Can anyone give me some tips on that? Is it bearable, at least? Not gonna pay for Sony's new sub service, that's for sure.
On Switch: still Mario Party Superstars with wife and daughter.
On Vita: Uncharted- Golden Abyss (really loving it).
Have a great weekend guys and gals!

Re: Poll: Are You Sold on PS Plus Extra or Premium?

I paid for Game Pass long enough to see its advantages, but also long enough to realise subscription services are not for me. Not nearly enough time to game and I like the fact that I can play at my own pace. The backwards compatibility catalogue is nothing compared to what I can play on my hacked Vita. Actually I'm going to let my PS Plus sub lapse and that will be it. I'm happy for those who will find it useful though. It's nice of Sony to make this an option.

I've got both a Switch and a Vita and I love both. Gotta say, though, that the Switch is mostly for my daughter and I've been having more fun with my Vita. Never expected to be into handhelds and now I can say that I'll also get a Steam Deck when it becomes readily available.

Well said. I feel exactly the same way. That's why I bought a Vita to enjoy retro games and all I play on my PS5 lately is PS4 story-focused games. If things continue the way you described I can see myself only playing retro games.

Re: Rumour: PS Plus Premium's PS1, PS2, PSP Games Have Started to Leak

No worries mate. I guess I'm a bit jaded having been into gaming since 1991. What I meant is lack of creative risk that most games suffer from these days. I'm way more excited to play Dino Crisis or Parasite Eve on my Vita than, say, Ghost of Tsushima or Death Stranding. Both games have been sitting on my wishlist for what feels like ages and I don't feel like buying them even when discounted. Returnal would be a game I'd like to try but just like Bloodborne it would kill me due to frustration. Still, this is what I meant by games with a soul.

Just to counter the negativity from some of the guys here: I have a PS5 and I've been spending my evenings lately playing the likes of Fighting Force and Fear Effect on my Vita. To me, today's games are mostly bloated money-making machines with little to no soul. Sony finally acknowledging the legacy games is great stuff.

Yeah, I get the feeling that once I get to later levels it's going to be tough. So far I've made it through the Ruins and haven't lost anyone yet. I don't know why but I sense that when some characters die on me I'll be upset/sad which I didn't expect coming in. Overall, I really like the game, art style and oppressive atmosphere.

I got my PS Vita two days ago. It's hacked to all hell, came preloaded with all sorts of stuff and I'm already enjoying it a lot! So:
On PS5: Mafia 2 (great game)
On Switch: Mario Bros Deluxe U (loving it)
On Vita: Darkest Dungeon (early into the game, but I can already tell it's going to kick my butt).
Enjoy your weekend guys!

I can already tell you to get it if you're at least slightly interested in it. It's my second playthrough (first one on XSX a year ago) and I bought it for the Switch as well. Great art style, soundtrack, interesting characters and story. It's not a long game (an advantage in my book) but pretty memorable. Perfect to play in between AAA+ games. I highly recommend it!

On PS5, I'm still on GT7 and will be for a loooong time to come.
On Switch: Mario and Rabbids.
Gotta say, the Switch is so refreshing in terms of what it offers, both sofware and hardware wise. I haven't had this much fun with a console for a long time. It's also my first ever handheld and I'm glad I got it.

Re: Poll: Will You Subscribe to Sony's New PS Plus Tiers?

gollumb82

As someone whose Game Pass Ultimate sub expires in May I'm not and never again will be into the subscription model. Way too many games. You feel forced to play them, otherwise you feel like you're overpaying. I have no interest in PS1,2 and 3 games. I already have all the exclusives I want. Actually, I got so excited by this news that I bought a Switch 😂

Re: DIRT Social Media Nuked for EA Sports Rally Account

@EquiinoxGII
My thoughts exactly. I actually think it makes way more sense than having two rally titles in Dirt and WRC (the Codies version). I do hope that Codies' WRC game will have historic rallies and cars as I'm not a fan of what WRC stands for these days.
