Let’s analyze this, shall we?
Astro Bot: I heard nothing but good things about this game. My biggest problem is why was this shit launched mid 2024 instead of being a launch title?
Death Stranding 2: I just learned it’s on Steam already so bye bye
Ghost of Yotei: Ghost of So-shitty released on Steam 2 years ago sooooooo…
Demon's Souls: This is legit one of 2 games I genuinely want to play - the other is Bloodborne-. I will put aside the whole critique about the new art style.
Destruction AllStars: never heard of it, not my cup of tea. Shit now I saw the post above mine and it’s EoSed
Quantum Error: soon to be GabeN’ed
Silent Hill: The Short Message: :story:bro
Astro's Playroom: free tech demo who cares

Almost 6 years since launch and we only have like 3 exclusives on hand. On the other hand, Snitch 2 will have 7 exclusives by June which is full year since launch, quality and personal preference be damned. Like he said, what a fucking disgrace.

I’ve grown up with PS1 and PS2
One of my fondest memories was the whole Resident Evil 4 GameCube saga. I remember being upset when I learned the brand new Fourth game was exclusive to this system I never heard of, then got more butthurt when I saw from a magazine what it looked like a new design of RE1 and another game starring Rebecca and this Chris lookalike dude. I was super furious, the gaming forum I used to frequent was practically divided between the rich kids who have all Nintendo stuff and us the peasants who bought PS2…. Until that fateful day happened
When somehow the RE4 exclusivity broke down out of nowhere, I remember the seethe and the mad celebration we did there
It was glorious
Me seeing the current state of PlayStation saddens me, I don’t know what the fuck happened with them but I am certain something went wrong and it’s been so since PS4 days. I will get shit for this but honestly PS4 was the first console in my life where I legitimately regret buying. Last time I touched the fucking thing was when Digimon Survive was launched out of all things.
Add to it the new price hike and I ended up asking myself: why the hell would I buy a PS5 at this point?

Inb4 : but GTA6 thoooooooo. 1- I never played any GTA games. 2- that’s assuming it will launch this year as promised. I have a sneaking suspicion those pajeets will fuck it up and will have no choice but to delay it again
 
Yeah I definitely think there's something going on in the background. Sony saying that it's Fromsoft keeping them from making a remake, Fromsoft saying they're open and it's on Sony. All seems kinda fishy.
No you see Fromsoft are actually the ones forcing them to make 109 horizon games. And concord.
It's just coincidence that every other team in the company was shut down and the guy in charge of what gets made decided a LOT of his franchise needs to get made and his personal pet championed causes get hundreds of millions
 
I don’t know what the fuck happened
Someone at Sony had the genius idea to move their HQ to California and hire Western MBAs, and the rest, as they say, is history.

And what a return on investment his choices were.

Sony has been trying to make Horizon a thing for more than a decade, and nobody other than Sony cultists gives a shit when a new game is announced.

The rest of their developers all make the same cinematic third-person action game with vague RPG elements, and somehow need the better part of a console generation to shit one of these masterpieces out.

I really don't see what Sony's big brain move to dig themselves out of their hole is supposed to be. The PS6 will just be the PS5 all over again - expensive and without any worthwhile exclusives. They'll just do the "definition of insanity" meme and hope enough people stick around to make it profitable (it won't be).

Sony circling the wagons and taking away their toys reeks of desperation, especially since the announcement was met with either mockery or apathy.
 
GTA VI WILL BE RATED M FOR MATURE!!!
WOWZERS! also i doubt it's actually rated and it was just a sony intern putting the rating for GTA V as a placeholder considering the content descriptor is the exact same
They should pull a 343 and release a T rated mainline GTA to see what would happen
I've always found it funny that Halo in general was rated 17+ in the US until Halo 5, in Australia every single Halo game was rated the equivalent of T except for Reach.

Astro Bot is fine. It's a fun little platformer, but its main appeal comes from the fact that there's a bunch of corpses of the better games that Sony published. Remove that, and you remove most of the enjoyment of the game. It's good, but it's obviously not worth buying a PS5 for, and not worth the obsession it got from some people.
Just emulate the PS3 version of Demon's Souls if you've got a computer that can run it. It's really not worth getting the new one. Bloodborne too apparently, because that shit has no PS5 enhancements.

Yeah, astrobot is the very definition of 6.5/10, it's  fine. It's just barely competently enough made to not really criticize too much from a gameplay perspective, other than the lack of any difficulty if you're above the age of 3, including the supposed "super duper ultra challenge levels", but the aesthetics can be nauseating to anyone without at least 8 or 9 playstation-themed tattoos and a literal shrine to sony somewhere in their house. It's $60 for a 9-10 hour (13-14 hour if 100%ing it, but 2 of those hours are staring at a literal gachapon machine to get all collectibles) shameless advertisement stuffed full of references that anyone young enough to enjoy the gameplay for what it is won't actually appreciate. The only ACTUAL noteworthy thing about it is it being the only ps5 exclusive even worth  THAT, and it being the recipient of what was left in concord's advertising budget once it was shuttered, including millions of dollars in advertisements to the publications voting for all those faggy GotY shows.

Gamecube was always cheaper, at least in the US. But I’m not surprised that PS2 fans would throw a fit about Nintendo getting one third party game that they didn’t.
