Thrifty PS Gamer Reviews
Добавлен 26 сен 2011
I have been a gamer since I was old enough to hold a controller on my NES. I switched to PlayStation when the PS1 came out and i have been with Playstation ever since. I hope you all enjoy the channel and the content. I will be bringing reviews of games that are on sale or deep sale. All content will be from a PS5.
I want to do this because I have never been able to spend a lot of money on games so I usually have to buy games several months or years after they come out. When I go to look for reviews, generally, they are very old or on past gen consoles. I want to do current, non-spoiler reviews of games that I find on deep sale to see if they are worth the hard earned money.

Sakuna: of Rice and Ruin - first impressions
This game is fun, but this game is also a mood. 😝 gotta be In the same mood
Well, it way just be boring enough for me to like it. Not on my list now but I’ll give it a try since I’m new to this genre
@@herodownunder dude you will love it if you are new to the genre!!! It is amazing for new players. That is why I didn’t give it a number rating.
Can you confirm which settings you had on for your ps5 pro for this game and on your ps5 pro? I wonder because I have never had (yet) a game look noticably worse on my portal over the ps5; disregarding network issues. But I have had games look better on my portal over my ps5 natively. (Animal Well and other pixel style games).
@@warawana I will when I get home
So its a AARPG lite. Got it 😂
@@ItsJustHenriHeck 😝 yes
its a LARRRRPGGGGG
@warawana it's a ARPG-like
@ItsJustHenriHeck 😂 plz no
@warawana yeaaa buddy we got a new label 2025!
But Sony already makes headphones
@@adamjanics8238 these have ps link which allows Bluetooth on the portal. They are meant for the PlayStation audience.
I might get them
Do it!!!
amazing show thrifty
@@MvbnFhfg thank you!!! I appreciate the comment also!
How about that battery life 👀
Roughly 5 hours per charge. The case holds about 2.5 full charges before it needs to be charged.
@thriftypsgr that ain't too bad at all
@@ItsJustHenriHeck for context that is a bit longer than my air pod gen 4 per charge
@thriftypsgr well thats your first problem homie, apple 👀
@ I love my air pods
My mic does to shit on my ones
@@LilDeaks like the mic stopped working or you don’t like the quality
The older I get the more I appreciate good sound
Me too!!! I never used to care about the mix of audio, and now I find myself going into almost every game and adjusting the audio.
Price point seems good imo too
When you compare the audio quality to other gaming headsets, I would say that the price point is right on par with everybody else and the fact that their earbuds makes them even more desirable for people like me
Comfort is super important to me too
Me too I am so glad they gave us so many different options. It makes a huge difference with comfort and ability to wear them for a long time.
I'm glad Sony fixed the pairing issues.
@@warawana I am glad that I waited to get them. The pairing issues would have annoyed the fire outta me
I bet they fit in Henris Pockets! lol
@@warawana lmao!
I have read comments and reviews that claim these lose connection often, has that been your experience?
@@vastneon not even a little. As a matter of fact I love how the automatically sync with my ps5 or portal.
You lost all credibility at “I hate souls games.”
@@toughguy1125 okay. Thank you for the comment!
I wear hearing aids so I need the over the ear headphones. Having hearing loss kind of makes the special audio the PS 5 has kind of wasted on me. I have the over the ear headset which is awesome for the price.
Absolutely, if you need to use over the ear headphones or just prefer them then 100% keep using them.
Leave a Comment! Do you own the Pulse Explore Earbuds? Are you looking to get them yourself?
Fkkkkkk sony for not allowing me to use my existing bluetooth earbuds. So no, I will not be buying these. Good video tho!
Thrifty I took a look and there is already a demo out for Dynasty Warriors origins. Apparently it’s been out a while I didn’t even know either, I downloaded it because I want to try it also.
@@Eesu226 no way!!!! Gonna download that right now.
@ yeah I just finished downloading it, once I’m done with dinner I think I’ll try it quick because I think it’s like a traditional demo a paired down experience with one level, not like a trial type thing where it plays from the beginning for a set time.
Hit that like button
Dope
@@loonchiesky237 I said nope to dope
@ 😂😂
maybe I missed it. But I got the impression, that you got the impression, your interpretation was that it would take years to optimize wukong. I thought he said you need years of experience optimizing the seriesS. to get wukong to fit on the S. I think they don't have anybody that has worked with the S. If MS sent over a "SeriesS Team" that has worked with the system since inception, since launch in 2020, having the last 5 years of experience. Then it could be done. That isn't to say, that it would happen overnight, or take 3 years 2 years 6 months etc. Just you need experience with the system. But, a SeriesS hacker, guru, savant, genius, doesn't have any experience with wukong, and would need to learn wukongs systems. would it take years of a seriesS dev, specialist, to learn wukongs system as well? My final take is the obvious, wukong devs dont have the seriesS experience, and will not spend the next years optimizing, gaining experience for a system that is already in its last half of life.
@@deeeee487 that is a lot of text and yet you didn't acknowledge anywhere there that the baldurs gate 3 series s version was shipped without split screen after Xboxes OWN ENGINEERS could not get it functioning acceptably. So please stop with the "lack of experience" narrative.
@@deeeee487 either way it is a terrible look for the series S and team Xbox again. Also if it is like you suggest, then the “experienced” team at MS should have been able to get the game ready for release already.
@@thriftypsgri dont think there are as, as jez calls them, xbox ninjas, as we think there are. i dont think wukong devs wanna be paid in "help" either. turning xbox help into sales on xbox. i wonder if there is any stipulations from xbox, if you want the xbox ninjas, you gotta out it on gamepass. and they probably said no.
@@warawanacause the gamescirnce wukong guy didnt say anything about baldurs gate right? did i miss something. i assumed game science was the wukong dev, not the bg3 dev. there has to be some level of experience, or even if not experience, time. which is also related to experience. maybe game science just doesnt have time, they hit the "stop working on current gen" time limit. they might be prototyping for ps6 or 60x0 whatever nvidia has, or amd has behind closed doors or scheduled. amyways. if not the xbox ninjas, howcome wukong devs arent asking bg3 devs for help then?
Correction Failden Ring
By which metric? But sweet wordplay! Love it 😅
By me who still play Bloodborne to this day
@@naseemwaja8735 by which metric? You're not a "metric" 😅 and yeah, Bloodborne is amazing. Too bad it's only 30fps on console. Thankfully not locked to 30fps on PC.
@warawana I don't play on PC it is trash
@@naseemwaja8735 no one asked you to 💀😅
199.99 $ open box price at best buy 1 year wranty
Great buy!
@@ceeece I love it!!
This game is very irritating. I notice a serious lag during boss fights and it's hard to switch through your weapons at times.
If you're going to buy one I buy one now it sounds like electronics are going to be going up a lot next year because of the tariffs
I don't get how it works, is it streaming from the cloud? Or is it streaming from a locally owned PS5?
It streams from both I think. I think it is over cloud, to be honest, I don’t know lol
I love it. Especially now with cloud beta up.
The cloud games work great also. There seemed to be a 15-20 second buffer time.
Well , I like mine . Most places you go have wifi.
I have a suspicion that my wife got me a Ps Portal for my birthday. I think it's worth the $200 price tag now that it's not just a Ps5 accessory anymore, but since I don't have Ps Plus, I'll still use it for its remote play capabilities.
@@FaZaFurhod I got mine early for my birthday and I have loved it! I got the explore ear buds for Christmas and will be giving my thoughts on those as well pretty soon
Did you get it???
@@thriftypsgr lol my birthday is later in the month so I'll let you know if I do
u get what u get for $200 im content with mine no remorse in the purchase
@@romeo200776 for $200 I added 117 hours of gaming from April to whenever PS did their recap. That alone is amazing.
The only thing I hate about it is that we can’t listen to our music while playing
@@Bmorex001 I agree
How it works when you're outside of your home, to a different place for example? Can you share a bit more details, cause that's the reason I wanna buy it, I usually travel outside of my city and I don't want to carry my ps5 all the time. Thanks
@@vi8742 I have had limited experience outside of the house with it. I took it with me to visit family in the state over and it worked great when I was on good and stable Internet connection. They have also done some more patches since I took that trip and I have heard that it is even better.
@@thriftypsgr Really? That's sound awesome. My family lives outside my city, so when I go visit them it's painful to carry my console. So I'm thinking thinking of getting the ps portal so I won't trouble no one with it.
@@thriftypsgr one more thing, sorry. Is it necessary the wi fi to be 5.0, cause mine is 2,4
@ just make sure that the Internet is good at home where the ps5 is at and where you are visiting. I haven’t tried it at hotels or at any local place that has wifi.
First time i took mine outside in the morning with the carrying case. I tested my mobile internet speed, which is running 30mbps-39mbps. I played Ghost of Tsushima at 720p. Almost no lag for me for the past 1.5hr. If I'm at work in the afternoon, my internet speed is 4mbps-11mbps. Midnight is around 75mbps-87mbps. I think there's certain hours of the day when internet speed dips. It's gonna lag like a rubbing a weiner with coarse sandpaper.
I have a friend who like me doesn’t like platformers. We “outgrew” the genre but I bought and played AstroBot (DNF). When it won GOTY, my friend (a pathological liar) claimed that he played. It but doesn’t really like it. He’s wants to be part of the conversation. Lots of people feel stupid when a great games isn’t for them. It’s okay, not all good/great games are for everyone 😊
@@herodownunder you are describing Elden Ring for me and Hogwarts Legacy for others. Such a true statement.
@ lm guilty of buying Elden Ring, Hogwarts (in protest) and Baldurs Gate out of pure FOMO/hype. I haven’t played a single one. Since December this year, I’ve completely reverted. I’m only buying games that I can commit to and will like or in rare situations “limited/collectors edition” of game I definitely know I will playing within 6 months to 1 year. Still a long gap but whatever. I don’t care to be part of the conversation. I’m just a selfish gamer most of the time. A complete introvert when I game
@ meeee toooo. There have been two exceptions in the ps5 gen
The console version is well optimized but the PC version isn't. I get over 200+ fps on overwatch with close to high settings but I get like 100 fps on Marvel Rivals with Lowest settings, sometimes it goes down to 60 when there's too much clutter. Without performance config file this game feels so bad.
@@tacti_tiger that’s sucks. It seems that the pc is not getting the optimization that the ps5 pro has been getting
Yeah it seems like Fortnite and CoD. Matter of fact, CoD nowadays is Fortnite in Hormone blockers. This generation is DUMASFUK anyhow. I’m so glad I’m from the 1980s.
It's a shame such a great game didn't sell on par with say a Spider-Man or a God of War or even Days Gone or Ghost of Tsushima. I do think it will hit 5 Million Copies by September next year, it winning Game of the Year will definitely help it to reach those numbers.
@@JP_Loco_93 nah man. Only sophisticated gamers can understand the quality that is ASTRO
Awesome device right here I logged 80hrs on mine this year. The thing just works while no it's not native but 9 times out of 10 when I'm gaming I'm in the house anyway
@@ItsJustHenriHeck 💯 the portal has added over 100 hours to my gaming time and I predict next year it will be more
"... just grab it from the back, just like that...." Thrifty KNOWS what he is doing! 😂
😂
You owe me $40 if you're wrong. 😂
I got him... up to 69 pause.
No there’s lag I’ve experienced it first hand
@@JayMac__ it is absolutely crazy how you can be streaming and doing an online multiplayer at the same time.
That's unfortunate!
@@JayMac__ I misread what you said. Sorry. I am also sorry that you are have been having a bad experience
Thats Americas a** 😂
Great video! I also hate that I cannot watch yt or any video services.
@@warawana yes sir, no fan boying here
Lmfao. Seriously! How many devices you own that you can watch video services?
lol @ no fanboying here. That cracks me up.
@@bigdmc6459 😂 not afraid to say I don’t like a flaw that a PS product has. Some channels never say anything negative about anything related to their favorite box.
@ it’s not a flaw lol. This is a gaming accessory to your ps5 not a streaming device for movies.
When he showed the math, he said, you gon' learn today! Great video!
@@grandcat1 he was so calm and professional!
Being from the south, we have this thing down here where when you do or say something stupid, the ladies will look at you, slowly shake their heads, and say, "bless your heart"! It's just a very polite way of calling out your dumb-assery! That's what Cerny is doing here! He's giving the gaming media and influencers one big "bless your heart"!
@@killerdude35 oh snap, I am born and raised in the south and you are completely right lol
What else should Sony do to show that they are giving developers all the freedom they need?? They want to give money to small studios so they can make their games bigger. They let ND develop an MP title for years that cost several tens of millions because other projects naturally progress more slowly as a result... and they are allowed to crush it... They supported the Helldivers development for years...well beyond the actual time without knowing how the game would turn out.... yes Sony is a big company and MUST make money but there are clear differences to MS or a Ubisoft. sony understands why a project has to be successful and why it requires time and money
I think Sony as a company understands that you have to take risks to be successful. They let their studios do new things because it’s has the most possible reward. A new franchise from nothing. Microsoft on the other hand only seems to like stuff that’s already successful. They just kept making Forza, Gears and Halo. Then have to spend big money on something that is already successful like Call of Duty.
@@feldartillerie1620 they are built different for sure.
