Sony hate thread

While the PS5's Dualsense controller I guess feels cool, there's something about the console that makes it feel soulless overall. The lack of custom themes and especially the lack of backwards compatibility really shows how retarded Sony is.

I have a litany of things I think are bad with current PS5 system software but here's 5 that absolutely drive me crazy:

1) Home screen is limited to 5 games, all others are pushed off to the game library screen, and you can't get rid of the useless shit like remote play and explore to open up more space.

2) Explore being the default option and basically being a glorified ad. Apparently they used to put animated shit by default on it too, so you'd boot up your PS5 to some obnoxious animated clip trying to sell you some gay AAA slop . From what I've heard, this isn't a problem in Europe because regulations ban ad shit like this so scratch this one if you live in the poorlands.

3) No option to throttle download speed. The PS5 doesn't interact with QoS features on a lot of consumer networking equipment properly and so if you ask it to download something, it'll literally suck down every scrap of bandwidth you have and knock everything else on your network offline. Luckily I have a MicroTik managed switch that lets me keep my PS5 in the cuckshed but it's still annoying for normies.

4) Similar to 1, there are no folders even inside the game library itself so browsing shit when you have a lot of games is frustrating. I have like 100 games in my playstation library at this point and navigating to 'Your Collection' is always like a 5 minute endeavor at minimum.

5) Why is it like 4 button presses to close a game? Why isn't 'close current game' one of the top-level options in the PS button menu?

imo they should have stuck with the XMB and iterated upon it

If this thread was made in 2006, this would be ON FIRE. Remember PS3 HAS NO GAEMS? Trying to find them now but they seem to be gone to time.

The PS3 era was especially bad because, unless you had one of the early PS3s with PS2 BC built-in, you were stuck playing PS3 games for the most part. I have a pretty large backlog of PS4 games so the PS5 doesn't feel like as much of a paperweight as the PS3 did. I think my PS3 spent more time running SNES and Genesis games in Yellowdog Linux during the first year I owned than it did playing PS3 games.

I do recall the PSTV dropping to $20 new when they were liquidating them all. At that point, I got one because the Dualshock 3 it was bundled with was worth more than that.

I can't remember if that was before or after the Vita platform got completely cracked wide open. Hell, having a device that can play pirated PSP and Vita games perfectly on a TV for $20 would have been a steal.

I personally can not wait until it's Christmas time and grandparents buying the ps-portal for their grand kids who don't have a ps5. Had to explain it to my aunt because she wanted to buy it for her grandson who doesn't own a ps5. Sony, you gotta be clearer with this product... Shit is going to be wild.

Assuming they can find one. Still completely sold out before it's even released everywhere I looked. Weirdly enough, I hear it's selling like crazy in Japan because Japanese people are in love with handhelds.

Anyway,

The PS3 didn't drop full hardware compatibility until the model that came out alongside MGS4, and the software-based model was produced for another year. The console had plenty of great games to fill up your library with after three years on the market.

And yes, I'm aware it was different for Europe, but those people were too busy being poor to afford a new console anyway.
 
The PS3 was notoriously difficult to dev for (which explains why Skyrim ran like dogshit on it), and that explains my overall switch to Xbox at that time.

IIRC, there was an actual out of memory issue that plagued it after a certain amount of saves or time played. PS3 had XDR ram which is lightning quick but they only had 256mb of it which at the time was not alot. When it comes to ram either you have it or you dont. You could update to an SSD, but it wouldn't make too much of a difference as the sata interface wouldn't take full advantage of it.


I am a MASSIVE PS3 hater, but to be fair at the end we did eventually get certified masterpieces like last of us and the uncharted series. Credit where its due their, "shoot for exceptional quality" ideology at the cost of everything else did work eventually but it was something we had to suffer for on the early years.

Companies can't understand "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". The only thing Sony got right after PS3 was naming their systems (Vita aside). I'm surprised they didn't name the PSVR2 something retarded.

I'm going to be honest; I'm quite baffled in Nintendo's interest in the franchise. The only thing I can think of is that Nintendo supported the second game because they were desperate for titles for the Wii U, and they figured a surprise announcement of a Bayo game would get to buy consoles.

Same reason they funded Devil's Third. They wanted more M-Rated games to get dudebros and normies to buy the Wii U

TLOU is such an overrated piece of shit, and I say that as someone who was pretty hyped for it. Bad stealth and cliche story & characters wrapped up in an Uncharted engine, somehow this was popular.

Almost all games are overrated these days due to the obsessive culture our generations have but TLOU reaches a new level with my just based on how many people I meet in REAL FUCKING LIFE who say this game had some profound effect on them.

God help the generations that have so many daddy issues that they think this game had some profound effect on their life.

Hell, I was shocked when TLoU was new that it was getting so much ground, considering it's 2014 and this is a zombie game, and zombie media had been disgustingly oversaturated at that point.

And here we are a decade later, talking about this stupid terrible on-rails movie game. Man, I wish it'd go away.

I bought 2 PS3s, not because it was a good console, but because I wanted to play GTA4 and mgs. Was it worth it in the end?
The first PS3 I got died within a month due to a faulty power chip, I waited years and found a slim model for a bargain. Overall it was a shitty console, truly a debacle of a program and a sign of things to come. In hindsight, I should've gotten a psp instead.

bethesda saves everything in their saves, the more shit you do the more bloated the save becomes - till it becomes too big to work in a system with limited ram. SSD wouldn't fix it.
besides that, the bus in the PS3 is so gimped a SDD wouldn't really improve it (the only game where it would do anything of value would be gran turismo, and that's only because the devs thought it was a good idea to dump literally tens of thousands of separate files onto the drive, which means seek times alone will make you suffer).

even the ps4 is only marginally better, iirc 30-50% depending on game. now compare that with a SSD in your run of the mill PC. it's one of the reason sony finally going with an SSD in the ps5 and consoletards losing their shit will never not be hilarious to me...

I bought a PS3 in 2010 after they went below $300.

MGS4 was such a disappointment, really genuinely horrible game that ruined everything fun about Metal Gear games before it.

Unfarted was a joke, every enemy a bullet sponge with linear climbing sections in between with a terrible made-for-TV movie attached to it. Unfarted 2 was more of the same.

KillZone 2 had input lag so severe that it was unplayable.

Then Sony got hacked and PSN went down for a month. I sold it that month.

But you know the few years after were pretty good. HD Remakes were neat, I was especially interested in the Okami re-release at the time. The library of PS1 and somehow emulated PS2 games on PSN got very strong. Japanese games finally moved onto PS3, killer for me was Tales of Graces F.

Ended up rebuying a PS3 in 2013 and I've been positive on the console ever since. It has a lot of the old weird Sony built in and a fairly good library. There were a few years there where PSN sales were very, very good and you could pick up a huge library of solid PS1 / PS2 / PS3 games for cheap. It paired well with a PSP even being necessary for a PSPgo to get controllers synced. The same library of PS1 games transfarring between PS3, PSP, and Vita was slick. It makes a nice blu ray player with a good remote.

Now I have two PS3s with 1TB SSDs stuffed with games and still use them regularly.

Wish I had a reason to care about PS4.
