Jokes aside, damn, I'd be going nutty without PS4 here.. Ok, maybe I am nutty regardless... but I digress.

No telling when PS5 will come out, with everything going on right now pretty sure it would be stalled. So, I don't think that's any event to base purchases on.

That being said, get the PS4 Pro and enjoy!

Although Sony has announced backwards comp. for PS5, no guarantee it'll work properly at launch. Go all in on PS4 since the games are so cheap.

I'm considering getting RE3 re-make since appropriately, it's about a pandemic.

Nothing in that game was really easy. It was odd in its ability to draw you back after you raise your hands to give-up...

The Witches were fucking easy unless you were drunk and high and your kids were blocking the TV because they split their toe open kicking the crap out of your shins for not letting them play Animal Crossing.

Looking at the company he's with, that's some deservedly high praise.

Still dunno about buying his new walking simulator though.

^Agreed. And as a MGS purist, I fucking hated MGS5. He's still a god. Him and the guy who made the Dark Souls/Bloodborne/Sekiro games.

Put it in the oven and turn it up to 400 degrees for 30 minutes.

Or leave it in the package and open it in 4 weeks.

I was going to wrap it with 500 rolls of TP and then dump it into a vat of hand sanitizer.

Yeah, it's different because of the open-worldish concept. I liked it.

Sweet on the Free deals! I will check it out. Things changed for me in great ways after I swapped the stock 512GB drive with a 2GB a while ago. Prior to that, I was stuck playing only what like 3-4 games at a time. It suckedddddd.

Where is the first monster in Shadow of the Colossus??? I'm running around like crazy and I can't find this damn thing.

On the bright side, about damn time that consoles start using solid state storage. Load times will be so much better. Of course, the Switch has it already

The nice thing about Sony is that they encourage hard drive swapping. They make it super easy to do so.
But understandable why they didnt include it originally, SSD drives were way more expensive back in 2013
The "Pro" should've came with one. 500GB-1TB SSDs were fairly reasonably priced in 2016.

That said, once i can get a good deal on a 1TB SSD, I'm swapping my drive.

This is the one I got, in case anybody was wondering

Amazon Amazon

The load times are pleasantly reduced. Not like blazing fast as it is a hybrid drive - but it does the job well and at a good price.

So I haven't played console games regularly for YEARS now. Have an old PS3 collecting dust and some games there but friend suggested Persona 5 Royal and highly recommends getting a PS4 Pro and that game.

Very tempted but looks like on Amazon most PS4 Pros are in the basically $400 range, wtf. $400 for a 4 year old system that's on a 7 year old platform now. I'm sure with everyone locked in their homes the sellers and Amazon are cashing in. I see on amazon price tracking sites that the PS4 have basically gone up in price in recent weeks. Ugh. Hate to do used with CL/eBay with some of the horror stories....

Bite the bullet and get PS4 Pro now or wait for PS5 that supposedily will launch in holiday season later this year for probably just ~$150-200 more than a $400 system that's essentially a 7-year old platform now?.....
