How long have you had a PS5? Heck of an investment to play three games that have tallied under 100 hours. 

I've only had an Xbox One since April and have already put in over 150 hours on it. I'd put in more if I didn't have a Switch and PS5. 

what’s it matter to you? I’ve got a lot of games in the backlog (GoW, SM, Horizon, FF, etc.), just don’t have enough time to play all of them.

Elden Ring 610h
Bamdyrs Gate 3 414h
Persona 5 Royak 261h (add more 103h of vanilla version if you please lol)

Was you the guy was saying current gen games were boring and didn't take any risks or innovation? I've found a very strange take, but it makes sense if you didn't played anything substantial PS5 has to offer 

Actually I got the platinum trophy and all trophies for Afterbirth and Afterbirth+, which includes unlocking everything. I didn't do that for Repentance, because Jacob & Esau suck ass and I don't want to play with them. I beat Mother and The Beast with every other character though.

And that's not all. I did the same thing on Switch with another 500 hours or something and I played Isaac for 141 hours on Steam. I didn't unlock everything on Steam though.

And yes, I'm absolutely addicted to the game and I can only recommend it, even if it is quite overwhelming at first. Not just because the ridiculous amount of content, but also the difficulty which just got harder with every update, lol.

1. is most likely GT7, last I checked it was at over 670 hours.
2. likely Puzzling Places, was at 173 hours.
3. Not sure, either RE8, CyubeVR or Horizon FW.

My most played game on PlayStation of all time is GT Sport, 3,937 hours logged driving time. (That's not counting making liveries, upgrading cars etc) A lot of that is from being stuck at home with a dislocated rib.

Minecraft is second most hours spend on all time on Playstation.

GT5 likely third.

never said they were boring, just that they lack risk and play far too safe. If Nintendo did SMOdyssey 2 as the mainline Mario for NSW2, for instance, I would be up in arms unless they really did a lot to change things up. (Though notice, I specifically mentioned launching on NSW2. No issue if it releases for NSW, with NSW2 getting its next-gen vrsn of Mario.)

GoW:R, HFB, and SM2 did not do a substantial amount different from GoW, HZD, and SM respectively, and it must be emphasized that yes, this is based entirely from what I have heard and seen from gameplay, the community, etc

I’m sure they’re all great games (I have purchased all of them for a reason), though I feel it shouldn’t be a bold assertion to claim that these franchises are not evolving in a satisfactory way from PS4 -> PS5. It’s like how many will judge NSMB series of games: I don’t believe one needs to play this series in order to see that they are very safe titles. So, to that, I offer the following question: Is it necessary to have played the game you’re talking abt in order to have *broad* beliefs in it? And let’s be clear: I’m not writing up scathing reviews on these first-party Sony experiences, I am simply critiquing them *for what they represent*, which is more-of-the-same, play-it-by-the-numbers. Yes, they are (rightfully) critically revered, and I’d imagine extremely fun to!…but they are also sequels which play it waaaay to similarly to their predecessor.

btw lots of Nintendo analogies here b/c, again, that’s where I’m most informed. Shouldn’t discredit what I say here.

(I feel like we’re getting off-topic here…PM?)

I probably misread your comment in the other thread then. Because I thought most about current gen games, not exactly Sony first party games. For example Baldurs Gate 3 is a very risky and deep game. FF 7 Rebirth also have a interesting and unique real-time strategy combat, its not everybody cup of tea but Square did a great job here, it feels close to the original but at the same time it's dynamic and modern (FF XVI though is a bit boring and repetitive button smashing with visual effects)

About Sony first party I agree, they are releasing incremental titles now. One of the reasons I still yet to play SM2 is because it looks too similar to original SM. Horizon FW is basically Zero Dawn refined (but its great you should give a try). There are some exceptions though. Returnal for instance is a very interesting take on Roguelike genre, it's not innovative but it's different from what Sony generally does

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 - 1311 hours
Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 - 932 hours
Final Fantasy XV - 151 hours

PS5 is the only way to figure this out right?
