I friended a bunch of pubbies in the 4 years I played TLOU online and a handful of them still play nearly every day and occasionally send me invites. I don't think people realize what a die hard cult following it has.

I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.
The best thing about Control is by far the setting. The metroidvania powers and shooter mechanics are all very by-the-numbers, in my own opinion, so if you don't care about the weird quasi-SCP Remedy plotline, then it might not hold your attention for long.

Is my math really wrong on this or is this a giant ripoff?

That bundle is paying $260 for
- A pile of crappy merch, really, who's going to wear a PS beanie?
- An extra controller + $70
- Two games + $70 + $60 . Although, would you really pay full retail launch price for a platformer?
- A $20 GS gift card + $20 Better use it quick before they go into receivership.

So at this price you are paying GS ~ $40 for the privilege of throwing away some branded crap left over from a tradeshow.
This has a feel of gamestop getting in on the ebay scalper industry.

It doesn't look like it's going to get easier to find PS5s anytime soon. AMD projects general chip shortages through the first half of 2021, with consoles especially impacted. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/amd-smashes-earnings-records-again-chip-shortages-to-last-until-second-half-of-2021 And they reiterate for the umpteenth time that this is due to unexpected demand, not unexpected supply problems.

What is concrete genie

Its a sony 1st party adventure stealth game about overcoming bullying with puzzles solved via making art.

I bought it cause it looked cool but the creative tools are not deep at all you basically just stretch and warp premade stamps and can progress no matter how lovely a job you do of meeting the criteria you need.

Its pretty well made orherwise until the 3rd act introduces some clunky combat.

The story as i mentioned earlier is very pro-forgiving bullies because they had a rough life which is kinda bs imo but ymmv.

Id rate it a 6 or 7 outta 10

Very cool that Control Ultimate Edition is free.

Very uncool that I spent $20 on it a couple months ago waiting for the PS5 version.

Yeah, I usually just sort of laugh it off when I buy a game that goes on Plus 2 weeks later, but this one kind of stings because I was dumb enough to buy the Ultimate Edition to futureproof when I shouldn't have had to do that poo poo in the first place.

Anybody else having issues with laggy controls on Cyber Shadow on PS5 hardware. (Controls lag with both PS4 and PS5 version of the game on the PS5)?

But it's perfectly smooth when playing on the PS4 hardware?

Cyber Shadow has been smooth on PS5 for me. Try restarting your PS5, and check your TV if it's in Game Mode?

My best friend snagged a PS5 for me, as my mom got me an IOU one PS5 for Christmas. So now I have it. Initial impresions:

-The controller feels really good in my hands, but the buttons feel a little... Too smooth? Like when I press X on a PS4 theres a definite click in and click out. On PS5 it doesn't always feel like that. Otherwise the controller feels as good iny hands as the Switch Pro controller which is my highest compliment.

-The unit itself is MASSIVE. I stood it upright because it secures with a screw. Laying it flat, it still slid off when I was trying to adjust it. Still a heckin chonker of a console.

-It looks damned pretty and interface and menus are smooth and easier to navigate. Download speeds are faster and I don't feel like I'm waiting for the store or anything else to load.

So now I basically have the option to.... Play a bunch of PS4 games? I'm probably gonna play AssCreed Valhalla since it has a free upgrade, and maybe some No Man's Skynif my save carries over, but yeah, it could definitely use some more exciting launch titles. Or any titles.

does CEC work? I have a newer TV and can’t control the PS5 UI with the smart remote

Trying to sell their media remote :argh:

Mine works exactly like my PS4 did but I had to turn the settings back on. I have a Samsung and if you unplug an HDMI and replace it with something else it defaults all the useful stuff like CEC and Game Mode to off.

Edit: I used to be able to hold the back button to go back to the homepage and that doesn't work anymore, probably because the buttholes reversed the PS button click/hold functions in the 5.

So, my PS5 is going to be ready for pickup on Saturday. Been moving and deleting stuff from my PS4 in preparation (gf will be playing two skyrims [vr and regular, regular with that new 60fps90FOV mod] and rdr2, while I got Fall Guys and Genshin Impact ready, and a copy of Spider-man Miles Morales sitting on my desk)

what's the most pretty game I should look into getting? I'll probably hop on the new Hitman series when it goes on sale, but I really wanna get my mind blown or something. Apparently the new CoD really uses the new controller?

Hitman 3 has hands down the most impressive environment and lighting I've ever seen.

Character models are still basic as hell PS4, but god drat the world itself is gorgeous.

Miles Morales is the opposite. Really basic PS4 environments, but the character models are incredible.

Play Astro. Anyhow, the Plus Collection, for anyone who doesn't have all those games, is a nice tide-over. Hopefully HFW and R&C by summer.

I'll keep it in mind, but I really don't care to get into Souls games. I have way more fun seeing other people fumble through them.

I guess Astro, Miles, Genshin (went from playing 2 hours on a vanilla PS4 to waiting for the PS5) and another playthrough of Wonderful 101 will tide me over for a good while.

I used to be too intimidated to get into the souls games until Demon's Souls and then once the level design clicked for me and I understood the pain and suffering and repetition were all part of the process I got hooked.

I think Souls games are where the first one feels like the hardest? Cause Demon's Souls was the easiest one I've ever played, but I've been in the Souls realm for a while and I spent like 3-4 hours on the first pre-boss area of Bloodborne at least
