The Official PlayStation Thread Vol. 5 | SOP Today 3PM PST / NEW Firmware Update is LIVE / PS5 Pro launches 11/7 for $699

They will still charge but knowing you can get it for free could incentivise some to keep playing longer than they would have planned.
Playing more means more engagement so you're more likely to get the most out of the game and buy other DLC or the sequel closer to launch when the game is most expensive.

Most games don't get completed, let alone people going for the Platinum trophy. This was from March last year:

Giving rewards will be like Sony giving out Horizon and Ratchet & Clank for free during lockdown. Looked like goodwill but it's also a way to get more people to play the game after they'e already made the bulk of the profits when the games first came out. Now those people will be looking forward to Forbidden West and Rift Apart and might even buy it at full price.

You’re right but you and I both know that some of these companies are greedy and want to charge for everything to obtain more money from consumers. They could give us more than a dynamic theme or an avatar but they want to monetize everything.

went out and bought a 4K tv to really appreciate. this sh*t is nuts now. took the day off today and everything

[Bad Religion]

Wow. Early Sunsets isn’t a ****ing 1.

You're right, people listen to MCR for ballads.

Can you at least agree with me that about half of the songs on "Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys" could be swapped?

DESTROYA, S/C/A/R/E/C/R/O/W, SING!, all terrible.

 

[Bad Religion]

Nah that's a sick jersey though

There is a special place in hell for Mark Messier. Stole a cup from us in '94, then finessed Vancouver out of 12 million dollars to be fat and bald and take up a roster spot.

Way off topic for this thread, but if anyone is interested how a franchise can be ruined by an aging cokehead, please read: https://info.hockeyfeed.com/nhl-new...ten-list-of-demands-for-the-vancouver-canucks

Sorry to sound inexperienced lol but i just got my new PS5 disk yesterday. The only game i want is the new GTA but that doesnt come out until March. Is there anything I can play for free until then? Haven't opened the box bc if its no point then I will return. Just was happy I finally got to secure one. I never had the PS4 only the PS2 and PS3. Any advice?

Depends on what you like but the below are ‘Free’ and very good:

Apex Legends
Fortnite (sorry)
Warframe
Genshin Impact
Call of Duty: Warzone
Dauntless
Spellbreak

 

[Bad Religion]

Id also suggested investing in PS+.
- you will gain access to 20 great games
- you will need it for GTA Online
- you get 2-3 "free" games a month that are available to you as long as you:
1. Add to your library
2. Have an active PS+ subscription.

As other have said ps+ Gives you 20 free games on ps5 as well and 2-3 monthly games but you’ll need a subscription

Get PS+. If you haven't played a lot of the playstation exclusives before start with God Of War, Days Gone, The Last Of Us, Ratchet & Clank 2016 version.

Uncharted 4 you can find it cheap and get the remastered collection for a $10 upgrade when it comes out on the 28th this month. Yes I know there is the free version with PS Plus instant collection also but that won't allow you to upgrade to the remastered collection.

Also Ghost Of Tsushima is dope.

Na apex is good. I like splitgate a bit as well

That’s because you can’t play anything competitive

I can play competitive games and be good at if I want to. But yeah I'm more of a single player gamer.

You also just a young buck broke boi and play this free to play game crap and love Gamepass so much and thats why you think series x is better than PS5

[taz92]

Thank you guys for helping me. I think I got enough here to keep me busy until March lol.

Thank you guys for helping me. I think I got enough here to keep me busy until March lol.

Also give Astro's Playroom a try, it is already installed on the PS5 and takes you on a trip through the various generations of Playstation consoles.

We just need to know specifically what type of games you like playing, You said GTA or GTA online which I'm assuming you like open world games since you said your waiting for the next gen update to release in March.

Open world games: Red Dead Redemption II, Infamous Second Son it's also on the PS+ instant collection, Even though I don't like Ubisoft: Assasins Creed Valhalla, Ghost Of Tsushima, Horizon Zero Dawn last gen, Horizon Forbidden West comes next month.
Third person shooters: Uncharted 4, The Last Of Us and The Last Of Us Part II
First person shooters: Doom Eternal, Control, Deathloop, Hitman 3
Platformers: Crash Bandicoot collection. Ratchet & Clank 2016, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart

Horizon Forbidden West comes out next month. If you haven't played the first one, i highly recommend you do so.

I actually wish this was an option. I would play the game twice.

You’re right but you and I both know that some of these companies are greedy and want to charge for everything to obtain more money from consumers. They could give us more than a dynamic theme or an avatar but they want to monetize everything.

No doubt and I don't think it would be hard to do with Trophies.

 

[buddhashark]

The feeling of incoming wide availability may just motivate me to finish up the rest of my PS3 games.

 

[John Wick]

now that i have access to the FF7 remake for ps5 i finally started playing this game for the first time.

What brand and model

Samsung AU 8000 43 inch

Got my own lil corner in the living room so the 43 inch is perfect. My wife got the 70", sh*t is a monster. The color on this thing is crazy, still gotta learn how to make it pop more but so far I'm impressed as hell. The PS games look even crazier on it. Dam near stood up all night last night. Bestbuy hat it for like $349 , don't know that much bout tv's but it seemed like a good deal ...
