And this is why it baffles me that Xbox decided to change Thier strategy now ...after years and years they finally get to a place where they can release exclusives on the regular ...and they start going third party ..
Well I am pretty sure I know why .. none gaming people above Phil got involved
I have both ps5 and series x ..but have always been an Xbox gamer first since the 360 days ...but the way Xbox is going I can't help but think wtf is the point... literally only incentive currently is the games day one on gamepass...but for gamers who only choose one console...it's a no brainer next gen if this is the path they are going
Hope it's native and quite powerful so can run all the games well ..I will defo get one ...got a ps portal and it's got me playing many games I probably never would have...just nice to lay in bed and be able to play on a handheld
Can't say I'm bothered atall ...only can really tell a difference when a screenshot is taken and put side by side ..and then it's minimal ...will stick with my base ps5 and series x....graphics have come so far that it's just pointless these minimal jumps ..even the next gen ps6 and next Xbox..will be minimal ...only reason is obviously the games that will become exclusive to the next gen platforms
Some things will never change though...fully grown men making out there is night and day differences...does make me wonder what makes them like that ..and what's going off in their lives ...confused me even back in Xbox one/PS4 early days when apparently 1080p was night and day compared to 900p....can't say I notice that much difference from 1080p to my 4k 65 inch oled c2
Ofcourse I always get told by super fanboy dweebs I clearly need glasses then
The main reason I wanted dragon age to succeed is so we get more mass effect ..I loved the og trilogy....never hated the ending like others ....same with Andromeda ....I got put off playing it for a while because of the bad reaction....but when I played it I still loved it....not quite as good as the originals...but still great
@Deityjester so its bad because you can't own on this one? Lol....Maybe wateva tactics you used on other cods aren't as effective...you claim it's other players that are the issue...maybe it's you who needs to realise you aren't as good as you think If you aren't able to adapt ...and switch up how you play to be more effective
P.s I am by no means great and I'm not a jumpy player but I have no issue being in the positive k.d ratio on blops 6
Also you do realise all the better players are going to be on newer cods ..
So you thinking you can just jump into cod after like 3 years and be topping the leaderboard every game on a just released version...haha... and then saying but I can go play an older cod which will be full of alot more casual players and own as the reason you think you are amazing?
You sure it's a game issue and not a skill issue ?
If these are just random gamers ...and they have got a payment then wtf....how? If that's the case give the rest of us a payment ..cause they are no more effected than the rest of us....only difference being is these clearly have nothing going on in Thier life..and are most likely hardcore ps fanboys
Wow wasn't expecting that...was highly doubtful I was going to get it anyway as I got burnt out on star field before I even finished the main game...and while I thought the main game was great for what it was ..it would of been immense if it came out 10 years ago ...it's just that it's the same old formula..and I've had my fill after playing so much fallout in the past
Exactly the returns are so diminishing...I find it laughably sad the people pretending there is some real noticeable difference...I get that it's easy to get swept up in it all..and think you need one....I was contemplating it before hand even though in back of my mind i knew damn well i wouldnt see or notice a difference from my base ps5....it's why its probably a blessing in disguise they priced it so ridiculously...not a chance I will even impulse buy it for that rip off price
Didn't bother getting it on playstation...doubt il ever play it now...to many games to play...and didn't have the must play kind of reviews to make me jump in
Just completely given up on doing any rewards...and I used to do them all religiously daily....just couldn't be arsed when they starting massively nerfing it....putting cool down on searches etc
@OldGamer999 Just pointing out if you consider god of war Ragnarok the kind of top tier game you want....and that was on the PS4....the series s is more powerful...so it's not a hardware issue to get the games you want
And yes I do think the god of war series(reboot) is one of the best ...but that's mainly cause of the story telling etc....i also think alot of the so called great ps exclusives are very overhyped
I would say the last gears of war are up there in terms of what makes the best ps exclusives considered so great...and thats coming from someone who isn't a massive gears fan
@OldGamer999 GoW:R is on the PS4 aswell though so ...if you want a game of that quality...then you cant say the power of the s is holding xbox back in that regard lol
@Gloki_junior That sucks ..I pre ordered mine through 3rd party for £36 and have also used the trial...so feel I've got a fairly good deal compared to the people paying £90 for the ultimate edition to play a week early lol
I literally just expect your typical Bethesda game...with slightly better graphics....which I am very burnt out on....don't really know what else they can do though ...
Personally much prefer fallout....and even when that comes out....I still expect it to be the same old story ...same old slightly better looking
@GuyinPA75 How is the series s a disaster? Maybe in the eyes of graphic nerds etc etc....but it's ideal for the average Joe who isn't a hardcore gamer ..my 2 kids and missus all have a series s each and are very happy with it...everyone in family gets to play on there own machine....something that defo wouldn't of happened if there was no cheaper option like the s
Hope we get an Xbox handheld soon....missus got me a ps portal and I play alot of games I probably wouldn't have because of it....just nice to sit in bed with it playing certain games
@themightyant I should hope it's the best place to play it....but for £700 for most likely marginal improvements.... ludicrous to basically get a console just for one game ...one game we know will most likely be on the ps6 and ps7 lol
Just really don't see the point in getting one...and I won't at that price....people saying they are getting it for GTA 6....but GTA 6 will be CPU heavy and the pro has the same CPU as base ps5...so all seems rather pointless....i will just wait for the ps6 and Xbox handheld if they release one
I prefer playing my playstation on my portal now so I ain't bothering with the pro....i am done with being told how much better some product is by dweebs on the internet...only for me to be sat there pulling my hair out trying to notice a difference.. .
I should hope for £700 the pro would be better ...even still it's going to the kinda better that we dont know about unless we are told by digital foundry
The price is ludicrous when you have to pay an extra £100 on top for a disc drive ...all so you can get a few extra blades of grass etc etc....
Even if you haven't upgraded to a ps5 yet ...it's totally Illogical to fork out that much for the pro...guess the base digital for half the price
I have a ps5 and I was on the fence about getting the pro...my main incentive was I'd give one my kids my ps5 and id have the pro..and then if there's any co op games like Helldivers we could play together...but fudge that ..wasn't sure id even of done that if it cost £500 nvm £700
@Fiendish-Beaver Erm what's the point in pre ordering them then ...would make alot more sense if you are waiting untill games are fully patched etc ...to buy the game then when it's no doubt cheaper ...not pre it at its most expensive
Feels alot longer ago to me....I put in quite a fair chunk of time into it and was enjoying it....but I barely touched the main storyline and got burnt out...and now I CBA to return to it lol
Downloaded this on ps....did plan to give it a go....will have to give it a go tonight after work...or il probably never play it....with Astrobot and Space Marine releasing
Might give this one a try.....seems like something I might enjoy if I give it a real go....only issue being got Astro coming tomorrow...and Space Marine 2 on Monday lol
