  • Yes, it improved on every aspect of the ps4. Load times were non-existent, graphics upgrade was good enough, the exclusives were always great. I like a dedicated box for gaming, not that I don’t play pc games as well, it’s just easier to pick up and go on a console especiallywith rest mode…

    I got it a few months after it released, which is how long it took to find one, and at the time i was deciding between building a new PC or getting a PS5 and at the time the PS5 was way cheaper due to GPUs being ridiculously priced. I thought it was a great price for what you got and it’s a solid system. I use it on average once every other day and has given me no issues.

    It was a solid console in every aspect to me. My one complaint is as much as I like the controllers they suffer from stick drift and I have gone through 4 controllers so far. Same goes for every one of my friends so it’s awful.






  • As someone who has been on an on call rotation plus randomly called for things specifically revolving around things I manage at work for 19 years now, i am jealous of being allowed the sense of freedom from the phone. My wife thinks I’m nuts, but she will never get this feeling… I hope one day to have a better job that isn’t working for a place that is open 24/7…

    I know you could have just played it in 2010, but it’s been 19 years since its first release. I know i did and I was in my early 20’s so that makes me pretty old now…

    On a side note I am not playing this until later. Instead, I have given my time to Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, which has been incredible so far. I haven’t actually purchased a game in probably a year due to being broke, but I traded some games in for this and took a few days off to play it while kids and wife are at work lol. I was happy it lived up to my expectations since it’s mostly miss these days.


  • I don’t want one right now. Didn’t see any reason to buy it day one which is not like me, but finances are tight so I can’t really see splurging right now. My friend was all over it though and shockingly enough he said he was able to get it last night from Walmart after waiting in an online queue for 45 min and totally expected the worst.







  • So we pay them to do this to us? I stopped putting tv’s on the internet once I realized it offered me nothing useful. Firmware is about it and if that’s the case I’ll either usb it or put it on the internet for 5 min to do the update. Even then Samsung sucks so much with firmware the release notes for every single update are “bug fixes and improvements”… thanks Samsung.

    If I am forced to put it online or it comes up with a way to phone home on its own, I am done buying those kinds of tv’s, and I’m sure some other brand will offer one that doesn’t, even if it isn’t the best one to buy.
