    I love my PS3, glad to see you jump and in and find some good stuff there. I love the Infamous franchise, I have got 100% of the trophies on all of the games, all 3 on PS3 (including the small download only title where the main character is a vampire for...reasons) and the two PS4 titles. I had a good time with the Resistance series, including the spin off on the Vita. I really enjoyed Playstation All-stars battle royale, a very clear Smash Brothers clone, but with Playstations characters. Not going to be a game for everyone, but I had fun trophy hunting on it years ago.

      @@tomfinler I do! I'm not nearly as into it as I was a few years ago, like yourself I really like the trophy system, I liked the Xbox achievements a lot, but trophies just felt so much better to collect. I've got over 50 platinums at this point, at one point I dabble in the world of cheap and not so great games just for trophies, but most of them I have are games I just really enjoyed and wanted to do all the things the developers thought to list out as trophies. I've done some double up (or more) for a few games, like Skyrim (I have completed the list on PS3, PS4, and PSVR, at some point I'll finish it on PS5 and that will be my first game I've platinumed 4 times) That does remind me of a recommendation, though it is on Vita and PS4 so maybe you've already played it, but Sound Shapes is both an awesome game, and a nice bonus for trophy hunters as you get (or at least did when I did this years ago) all three versions for one purchase, and you can load your data to all three, so you can get trophies for all three after earning them once. I learned the second part when I was working on some of the harder trails after beating the story and I found some were easier for me on the Vita, while others were better on a console, so I kept loading my save back and forth and chipping away at them.

    I’ve probably got unpopular opinions about this, so I’m sorry in advance. I think we are due a gaming crash. The Nintendo switch is doing way better, but as Nintendo does its own thing more I don’t think things will affect that too much. I’m mainly thinking Xbox and PlayStation. Games have got too big, too complicated to make. The exclusives aren’t there. They seem to be relying too much on remasters and remakes. These 4 years feels more like how things were in the first year of a console releasing. Even now, there is nothing at all that will tempt me to buy a ps5. I have a series s, but I’ve mainly got that for the backward compatible games, as I never had the other Xboxes. With where we are at now, the games still aren’t there. The jump from ps4 to 5 didn’t feel like much of a jump, it was more a refresh. I agree with what you said in this video. Like you, I think they need to seriously consider getting some games out. They need to take some risks on games like how they used to in the ps2 and 3 days. Now everything’s either a remaster / remake, a sequel, or a live service game. If they don’t turn things around in the next couple of years, frankly I don’t think we will see a ps6 or Xbox series x 2.

    • @tomfinler
      @tomfinler Месяц назад

      I see what you're saying! I'm maybe not leaning towards a full on gaming crash but I definitely think that there will be troubles for the big AAA publishers and they need to change what they're doing - I've actually been thinking about that for a while and putting down some notes to maybe make into a video at some point! But yeah in terms of library there's such a difference in the range of games compared to older generations. The next few years are going to be interesting. . .

    Can you switch off that touch screen option when your game goes on PC keyboard&mouse mode? bc when you accidentally hitting the screen ( i do that often) and it switches, its kinda annoing, you have to switch back on controller mode

    It has definitely gotten me playing more PS5 then before i had the portal. I like having the tv on as background noice and it this makes it easy to do that. also sometimes i like to go upstairs and play it in bed instead of having to sit infront of the tv to play it. Its also a way better option when you go on vacation then having to bring the whole ps5 with you . Theres definitely some revisions that need to happen if they release another portal but i love mine since day 1

      I’m glad you like it! Playing in bed is the one thing I’ve not done because I usually have to get up early, but I have played it while having the tv on in the background. Makes it easier to work through side quests and stuff like that

    I originally played Cyberpunk on Stadia, and I've played a bit on Steam Deck. The difference is pretty huge, but it's still playable on Steam Deck, and actually using the gyro is fun.

    • @tomfinler
      @tomfinler Месяц назад

      Yeah it’s pretty good on Steam Deck, I did recently see it running on the PS5 version and that’s pretty different too! I’ve never really got into Gyro aiming, do you use it for most games?

    • @cunawarit
      @cunawarit Месяц назад

      @@tomfinler Yes, I use gyro for any game that involves aiming, and I find it fantastic! I originally come from a keyboard and mouse background for these types of games, and I can’t handle shooters with a standard controller at all-unless it has gyro. The gyro aiming feels much more natural to me.

    Great video as always Tom, really like that you always find the positives of things and that you are enjoying the portal. So many reviewers are hating on it due to it’s reliance on the PS5, but really liked how you found the positives, such as compelling you to play more of a game, I suffer from also not finishing a game due to too many options. It’s also nice, in my opinion, that it is a device that caters to such a specific person and use case, as you say, we already have the Steam Deck, Switch and retros etc so it’s nice to have something different for those that it will suite their needs too

    This generation need to last longer cus it took years for it to get started fr. People jus recently started getting the ps5 whether it was because of Covid and resellers or people like me who waited to get a ps5 because there were no games I wanted to play that werent cross gen. If the ps4 and Xbox one isn’t the dead the ps5 and Xbox series for sure isn’t.
