HI I LIKE TO GIVE ADVICE ON RELATIONSHIPS
I didn’t finish Origins, never played Odyssey, and I quite enjoyed Valhalla. To each their own.

This. Unless you have PS5 spiderman remaster, then maybe that first since the 60fps mode owns.

Agreed, also add bloodborne and TLG to the list. Those are the must plays, although a bunch of those other free games are good too.

Last of Us is boring The Road fanfiction, with a sequel so poo poo it ruined one of the few good parts of the game.
God of War is just meh.
Spiderman let's you play as loving spiderman, has a fun story that plays with the tropes from the comics and movies, and a fun and challenging combat system.

also love my ps5 so far but the main screen is glitched to poo poo. how do fix it?

Every time I uninstall a game, I get one of those empty boxes on the main xmb. Never fails, I have to start to reinstall it and then cancel it. Half the time, that clears it.

What you're seeing, I have had happen when my external stopped being recognized and I had to go into storage and have it....idk, find it again.

Last of Us one looks and plays okay, but the story is boring and it prevented Naughty dog from making good games like Jak and Dexter

I have no stomach for video games that think they're prestige tv dramas. I also have no stomach for prestige tv dramas on tv. You're a loving tv show you aren't a movie and you never will be.

It’s one of the most improved sequels I have ever played. Which is saying a lot because the original is a 10/10 game. It’s almost in it’s own class with how ambitious it is.

I thought the clunky shooting was kinda rad tbh, when you’re used to it it’s pretty easy but it’s the rare action game where your ammo counts usually aren’t past the single digits, so missing shots and having to panic is just part of the flow.

TLoU2 nerfed bricks though, and it makes me sad.

I never realized how OP bricks are in the original until I watched a speedrun from GDQ

The guy who says "brevity is the soul of wit" is a character you're meant to see as an idiot, in a shakespearean drama, a man who was known for writing extremely long works. Our whole stupid culture has been misinterpreting that quote for centuries.

Edit: for clarity I'm saying - Last of Us Good!

Luckily you could watch an entire rendition of hamlet in the time it would take you to watch some nobody on youtube talk about a middling game.

It's also erroneous to think all of Shakespeare's plays were crazily long, Hamlet is the clear outlier here. You could watch A Midsummer Night's Dream unabridged in a tidy 90 minutes. The Tempest in two hours. Even Othello & King Lear clock in around 3-3.5 hours unabridged, which isn't exactly unheard of for theatre.

That's not really my point, he was a prolific writer who wrote things that were intentionally complex, multi-layered, and not generally "brief." It's one in a long line of examples where people think that because the character said a thing, that's what the author *believes* - which is not necessarily the case. It's like how people think Tyler Durden is the good guy in Fight Club. People notoriously can't separate fiction from the author.
