Got Astro Bot, Horizon Forbidden West, and Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart sitting in my backlog; too busy with Switch 2 at the moment but will get back to PS5 once I wrap up Cyberpunk 2077 in a couple of weeks.

The rest don't interest me, I never much cared for God of War or Spiderman or Gran Turismo for instance. Was always more a fan of stuff like Uncharted or the IP I mentioned.

Interesting was there a reason you went for the Switch 2 version of Cyberpunk 2077 ultimate over Cyber punk 2007 ultimate for PS5 being $77.00 at EB games

I wanted to see what my new hardware could do, and to play with gyro aiming. Also wanted to support CD Projekt Red for putting the game entirely on the card.

Since I know your a fan of gyro aiming how did you find it in comparison to Switch games.



Research shows Video games  help make you smarter, so why am I an idiot

Only used it in Cyberpunk so far but it works very well there. 

Come to think of it, that's something PS5 could improve for me; more widespread support for gyro aiming.



Dammit. The clock count is fixed for games before the update and it's definitely better but it's still off more than the profile page which is always ahead anyway. it's now adding fifteen minutes on every hour for some games, Idk why it's so hard for them to get this right. I don't mind keeping my own log to be accurate myself and account for pasue and AFK time but it'd just be nice to not be gaslit into thinking my four hour session was five hours. Dungeons of Hinterberg it perfectly accurate to my own time keeping but then keepers toll is twelve hours when I know for a fact it's only been a few minutes shy of ten. Mildly infuriating flaw.



First Party Games thats the only think Playstation needs to fix

The hardware is fine, but the console is in dire need for more first party games.

Yeah the hardware isn't the problem; while I do find it ugly and too big, that's not a major deal so long as it runs games well, which it does.

As a box for third party multiplats it delivers. If you wanna play Call of Duty/Assassin's Creed/Monster Hunter/etc and prefer the convenience of a console over PC, then PS5 gets the job done, and with Xbox having self-destructed its essentially the only game in town if you want a powerful dedicated home console.

The problem is that when it comes to PS home consoles, I expect more than that. I expect standout first party titles, and while PS5 does have some standouts like Astro Bot or Stellar Blade, long development cycles and their ill-conceived GaaS push have left the pantry somewhat bare compared to say PS3 or PS4.

Now, the gen is far from over, so this could change, but when you have say a whole year with like 4 first party games, that's pretty dire.



Sony needs to fix one important aspect of the PlayStation 5.

Right now it doesn't have a Doko Demo Issho game on the system, Sony needs to fix this now.



Sony want to make money by selling art, Nintendo want to make money by selling fun, Microsoft want to make money.

But this takes time away from Third Party games and money too. Sony games became too big and too good, they canibilize their own cut from games selling on their system. 2 bags games a year is too light, yes but more than 4 and that could be a casuals whole year of Single player games. 



More first party games. Sony has 1 real console exclusive (Ghost) and a timed exclusive (DS2) this year. For me, that doesn't bring more value than game pass. Sony needs to build a big first party lineup because traditional consoles are not the future.

In 20 years, cloud streaming and playing games on the hardware you already own (PC/ Mobile/Tablet) will render consoles useless.
