I hate that all companies want to make their identity black or white, I want the colors, they are beautiful, they are iconic

How on Earth has Sony never tried to make a new entry happen? I feel like a next-gen SOCOM title would have a sizable audience!

I’ve just taken my entire PS1 collection to a charity shop. I estimate they cost me around £2k to buyin the 1990s, I hope they raise a decent amount for charity. Thanks for the good times, it was fun …

Discussion Why do you play video games?

201 Upvotes

Everyone has their own reasons on why the spend countless hours on video games. For me it’s an escape from this shotty world we live in. It’s the familiar characters and places we’ve gone to virtually over and over where it almost feels like home in a sense.

From start to finish. What would be your perfect time scale. Mine would be 8-14 hours.

Discussion How would this conversation go?

I know in God Of War: Ragnarok there’s a DLC where current Kratos meets his past self. The scene was very good but I can’t help imagine a full conversation between the two of them.

What would current Kratos say to Young Kratos? What would he warn him about? What would Young Kratos say or think about his future self? Would he give him some helpful advice he received from Mmir? Or would he let things play out?

What do you think?

It only started happened after I beat someone online, but it does not make sense. I’ve changed my email and password 3 times now making it very strong. Some have said if I have signed in on another console this could happen? But I haven’t had this issue before. The person keeps trying to log in with a ps4 yet I have a ps5. Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

Discussion Just finished MGSV Phantom Pain and I’m surprised I never see it recommended on here. Alot of fun the whole way thru.

I tried playing MGS4 and Ground Zeroes a long time ago but I just couldnt get into it. The opening of this game instantly hooked me and the gameplay is up there with the best of the last 10 years. Still dont know whats going on story wise with this series (seems to be the general consensus if you havent played them all), but it does a good job of being its own story. It does spoil MGS3, which is being rereleased soon, but if you like stealth games I think you will really enjoy this.

I’m currently working on Robocop. So far it’s much more than I thought it would be. Pretty awesome story. Mechanics and Gun play seem pretty cool and it’s a flashback to the past when I was growing up. Remember watching the old Robocop in 1988 when I was a kid. Next I’m going to return to Horizon Forbidden West and Finally finish it. What’s your current Game your working on?

Support PS5 Overheating Shutdown FIX

Upvotes

Sup redditors-

So I’ve had my launch model ps5 since. The original daddy FAT OG model. Since black ops 6 came out I had my first of many shutdowns. You’re playing a game and then boom shutdown. Only way to get up and running again is to unplug power cable. After all these Reddit forums of debates about cleaning and what position to put ps5 I went to see a console specialist who offers repairs.

The dude confirmed that the debate about position of ps5 whether horizontal or vertical has no effect on lifespan of console. Also to note third party faceplates with “airflow” cut out are often bad and standard plates allow proper heat dissipation.

He ended up cleaning the power unit and retouching the Liquid Metal coolant and told me that Sony often use the worst.
