What is your point? I don't only play exclusives....

I was planning on playing a few of the others but I'm just waiting now until the PS Plus Collection is released.

Ohhhhh. There are games that aren't exclusives worth buying a console for?

Funny..
 
Mine:

Persona 5 (93)/Persona 5 Royal (95)
The Last of Us Remastered (95)
God of War (94)

The Last of Us Part II (93)
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End (93)
Bloodborne (92)
Shadow of the Colossus (91)

Astro Bot: Rescue Mission (90)
Dreams (89)
Horizon Zero Dawn (89)
Nioh (88)
Nex Machina: Death Machine (88)
Final Fantasy VII: Remake (87)
Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition (87) <- got the base version on PS+, probably won't play it though.
Marvel's Spider-Man (87)

Completed
Got on PS+ or purchased, not played yet but planning to
Will play on PS+ Collection on PS5


Then there are other games not in the 87+ list but on the PS+ Collection I want to play at some point - Days Gone and maybe The Last Guardian, Monster Hunter: World and Resident Evil 7: Biohazard

You haven't played Astro Bot Damo? Add that to your list!
 
Reasons I bought a Series S over a PS5:

- Have fairly decent PC so link with game pass ultimate ridiculous value. Combined with the £1 upgrade trick, have three years of ultimate for around £3/£4 a month
- Don't have a 4k TV in the man cave, so 60 fps at that resolution not necessary.
- Xbox controller a much better design than the dualshock. Just fits great in the hand.
- Big fan of Halo and Gears of Wars from 360 days. Can't say the same for PlayStation franchises.
- Friends from school remained with Xbox/Gamertag throughout so much easier to reconnect and have a blast with old favourites.
- Cheaper

Can't blame anyone for buying a PS5 though. Seems like a great bit of kit. Just not for me.

I’ve played nearly all of them. Really great games from ps this gen, only ones I missed out on are Dreams, Astro and nex Machina from that list

Bloodbourne
GOW
TLOU2
Spider-Man
Horizon

Would be my top 5 (not inc TLOU remastered)
 
Just popping back in to say that Forza Horizon 4 is brilliant. I completely lost interest in racing games, and struggled to get into FH3 even though it was generally well regarded. I think I've easily put over 100 hours into FH4, all the little adjustments they made really improved the feel of the game and, most importantly, the fun. The world is beautiful and really engaging. Probably the best and most engaging racing game I've played since PGR2.

Entirely fair

PGR was such a good series :drool:
 
@esmufc07 even I've played 6 of em and I'm an Xbox fan boy apparently

You are though.

You were what Elvis was at the beginning of last gen. Thankfully you have been humbled, so don’t go back to being arrogant again because I easily can switch sides and we can talk about how you thought releasing a underpowered console with forced Kinect and all the other stupid stuff they were planning was a good idea.

I want to see Elvis humbled and it will happen. His arrogance will be gone in a few years. He deserves it for double crossing me.

I thought we were friends now, can you start PM'ing me where we're at because I lose track.

We are not friends and no I’m not going to PM you.

I want to see you embarrassed on your knees, screaming at your PSN to work just like when it went down for a month because the geniuses at Sony couldn’t deal with a few kids dossing it.

I don’t really care for PS5 or Series X, I just want you to lose. I am rooting for the opposite team whenever you are on apex. I am going to put a bounty of 2000 apex coins for someone to keep going in your apex lobbies and killing you. I hope you keep dying in demon souls. I pray your superhub breaks down on the 19th. Even better, I wish your courier driver decides to take the day off on the 19th and your parcel mysteriously is lost.

@horsechoker is my friend now, so stay away from him. He has decided to be my Robin.

The only arrogant one in this thread is you pal!

Well done on humbling people. Where would we be without you

We ain’t pals. I am only friends with @horsechoker.

You would be where MS were at the start of this generation being mediocre. If it wasn’t for people like me pushing them on exclusives and being better than nothing would have happened. You were still ******* over Halo, Gears and Forza, I saw the bigger picture. There is more to life than those three games and hopefully one day you will learn that.

Let’s not forget all that project spark nonsense you spouted.

I never will. The Project Spark dream lives on in other games like Dreams, Mario Maker and Minecraft

You still getting PS5? What games are you going to buy it for?

Project spark was a flop just like that stupid fable online game, which nobody wanted. But you were hyping both up. I wanted a true Fable single player game and finally MS have listened. Thankfully they listening to people like me and not people like you who just play shooters and racers. Will you be playing Yakuza on series x? Nope.

Is it a true single player fable game? Because that's my hesitation. To me Fable is the most interesting game on either of these systems, but I don't trust MS not to feck it with some multiplayer BS
 
I can't take Metacritic seriously when Fallout 4 has 88.

haha for sure, I don’t think Bethesda are up to the job anymore with these huge RPG’s I think the amount of polish and size we expect on the new consoles will continue to see their demise.

I’d love to be wrong as fallout 3 was so good when it first came out!
 
Does anyone know if either console will support 3rd party Bluetooth headphones to be connected for voice chat and game noise?

I know this wasn’t the case on PS4 since they wanted you to buy their own expensive Sony headset.

Remember when a couple of people on here thought they could make Zelda in Spark?

Oh, better yet, remember when some actually bought into the bullshit that you'd be able to motion capture yourself into games with the Kinect 2.0?

Good times :lol:
 
Must admit, looking at the PS5 this morning, the thing does look rather nice when sat next to the controller.

I only play racers/shooters but hyped a asymmetric Fable multiplayer and a game creator called Project Spark. Can't tell if I'm mainstream or hipster.

I never hyped Fable Legends. After the trailer I said it looked cool and I liked the premise, and then when we saw more I said I thought it lacked in potential to some of the other IPs they were bringing out (Quantum Break, Sunset Overdrive)

Project Spark didn't get the funding it needed, and didn't have the right commercial model. It had huge potential and I still believe that games that allow people to create accessibly have a huge future. The stuff that Dreams is doing is amazing, and I expect to see more sandbox creation type games to come.

Lots of people here were excited by the look of Project Spark, including One Night Only, afro and even Redlambs.

Funnily enough, something like Project Spark would be fantastic on Game Pass. Especially if you could cut those games out and make the really popular / polished ones and give them their own spotlight on game pass to play as separate games.

Yakuza looks cool actually. I'm planning on trying Yakuza 0 on gamepass first to consider whether to get the new one.

I still have a PS5 pre-ordered but haven't decided whether to keep it or not yet. I'll definitely buy one at some point, and I don't think I'd want to wait until a mid-gen upgrade or slim model. With gamepass though I'm trying to buy less games until I'm confident I can get round to playing them and will get value out of it (if I buy at launch and by the time I play them they are half the price..)

I am holding off picking Spiderman back up on PS4 though as I'm that far into it, so maybe I'll grab that.

Seems you were considering building your self-designed Zelda type RPG in it at one point mate ;)

I did once get nearly get funding for a Zelda type RPG that I fully designed, but I do have other ideas that have never been done before so I'll probably go with one of them.

I'm not buying an xbox one for this though. At first I'll use the 360 or change one of my pc's to windows 8 to test it all out.

Oh that makes it alright then. The guy who the other day was excited about a portal was hyped for project spark.

You basically hyped up Fable Legends in that post. You just can’t help yourself. How many times are you going to mention that game to me?

Quantum break was average.

Haha I just moved it to the top of the post and forgot to remove.

Agreed on Quantum Break, it took too long and didn't realise it's potential. I also got fatigue at that type of game (I actually opted to get Uncharted 4 over QB which I had 'hyped' even more, and didn't finish and was really disappointed with it)
