Yikes.

This what the people wanted when the new gen was announced, like totally

Hard to believe there are still people out there like Dadd that think this is related to mascots.
I think you misunderstood my post. I think the current state of the community or whatever you want to call it is not necessarily related to mascots any longer. Anyway it's a bit interesting you're so concerned about what people think of this thing.

Sold my PS5 last week, for cost of retail not scalp price. Feels very liberating. For one, I have minimalist tendencies. The less stuff I can get by with, the better. Second, I kept checking sales to see if there was anything I could get to justify buying the thing (and finding not much that was worth keeping it around for), but I was also deep into some games on Game Pass too, one of them being a new favorite that you can't even get on Playstation platform. Well fuck that! Now I can just focus on GP and the small backlog I have, all in one place. Incline.

ps5 is now years out and it has grand total of 2 exclusive games on it.
It's called the PS5 because it has 5 exclusive games:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:PlayStation_5-only_games

A kid-friendly platformer, a remake of a genre-creating game from two generations ago, Twisted Metal for zoomers, a sequel in a platforming series that has been going since the PS2 era whose creators are now focussed on making a fuckload of money with Spider-Man games, and a roguelike.

I mean, I love me some Souls games and I've been a fan of Ratchet & Clank since the PS2, but I'm not buying a PS5 just for those two games. I've got a powerful enough system to run recent games on all but the highest settings, so I'm good.

Not even that. Astro's Playroom is literally a short techdemo pack-in title.
It's a game, a short one, but can last you about 6 hours if you get every collectible (this is one of the very few games in which it's worth doing).

The levels themselves are fun because of their references.

Because 130 billion a year is simply not enough.

"The quality of our product has been plummeting for at least 10 years now, so surely raising prices is the answer! Brilliant!"

If these fuckwits would just make good games I wouldn't care what they charged. I just want a good game.
:rage:

If they really want to "save the earth" they should just stop selling the console. Actually, stop selling everything, give up the company and have all employees commit seppuku in name of the environment.
