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!

Doom878

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.

And remember, M...Bloodborne is a rite of manhood as I told Doomie when he got into it.

Yumcha

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

Doom878

Yup, you're not a man until you finish a Fromsoft game

Yumcha

Some of those boss fights still give me the heebie jeebies.

See...COVID-19 is nothin' now.

Doom878

I swear I'd tattoo Laurence on me. Fucker was so hard and looks so badass on fire.

Yumcha

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...

Doom878

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.

Costco

^Very oddly specific

Yumcha

I know, right? I think the man is speaking from experience.

Doom878

Oh looky, just in time

Death Stranding for $30 to play Fedex driver. Not too far off on the real danger of our drivers.

Yumcha

I may consider that game. It looks neat...then again, sucker for Kojima games.

Mizouse

hmm... i just noticed that i still have like $50 in my PSN account

Yumcha

Capcom Beat 'Em Up is cheap! $15 I think???

Mizouse

PS4 is still on the way

Yumcha

Shouldn't have scalped your first one, eh?

Mizouse

damn.. thanks for this.

Gran Turismo Sport Spec II is on sale to $22.49
Metal Gear Solid V: Definitive Experience is only $5.99

Yumcha

Shite...buy, buy, buy!

Doom878

Speaking of Kojima, let the lifetime awards start coming in.

Hideo Kojima to receive BAFTA Fellowship | BAFTA

Costco

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

Still dunno about buying his new walking simulator though.

Doom878

^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.

Yumcha

What did you not like about MGS5...? The fact you were not really (SPOILER) ...?

Mizouse

i forgot that B&H is based out of NY and their warehouse in NJ.

Imma get the corona

Yumcha

Miz is gonna like, receive the parcel...put on his hazmat suit...then, torch the PS4 to ensure it is uninfected. Then, he gonna create a post asking why his PS4 won't turn on and why it's powder.

F-C

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.

Yumcha

Mizouse

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

Doom878

Doesn't feel like a MGS game. I haven't finished it yet so no spoilers please.

Quarantined

Yumcha

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

Doom878

Sony is giving away for free Uncharted Collection and Journey. No PS+ required.

https://slickdeals.net/f/13980446-ps...?src=frontpage

Yumcha

Free is good.

DL'ed the Uncharted freebie last night. Already have Journey.

Doom878

Heard Journey looks beautiful. Downloaded it. Already did all the Uncharted on PS3 so bought them but no download unless quarantine hits Year 2.

srika

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.

Costco

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

srika

Obviously I meant 2TB

Mizouse

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.

srika

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


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.

Although i dont like using walkthoughs but sometimes im like the hell of it. found this one if it helps.

i might look to this one. Still would like a SSD but I have a hybird drive in one of my old computers, still going strong.

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?.....
