PS5

I think it's safe to assume gaming will give up OldBoy, long before OldBoy will give up gaming. Either that or he's opening a video game rental.

Why do you keep doing this to yourself?

Preview: Stellar Blade Is a Stealth Soulslike with Strong Potential

https://www.siliconera.com/preview-s...D%20Siliconera

bc from the 2hrs i played, exploring, killing bosses, i loved everything about it and it was in no way "souls" like as i believe them to be. i guessed you missed this part..."It’s not quite a full Soulslike though. Death feels much less punishing, and the combat system is a lot flashier than the genre usually provides. It feels like Shift Up wanted to dip their toes into the genre without fully committing to it. It’s a Souls-lite then. And as someone who was looking forward to Stellar Blade but also has previously never been able to get into that genre, I think they got the balance exactly where I like it."

Actually, played it again and it’s just gorgeous and the combat intuitive. Of course, it’s about blocking and parrying, but this makes it so easy. I can’t wait till full game.

Over/under on how far into the game before you reach a boss that's a little too "soulslike" for you and you move on to something else?

Last game bought is Princess Peach Showtime. Played it this weekend, simple fun, that works for me.

All he's gotta do is try the Boss Challenge that unlocks after beating the demo. That should give him a fair idea of what to expect farther down in the game.

^ i did. had more of a blast.

I buy way too many unnecessary duplicate games on PS5.i just got CoD: WWII not even thinking I had on Xbox, which I did. I never thought I would like it so much. Games just seem better on PS5. I probably haven’t played a game on XBSX since Nov 2022, when I got ps5. I have updated games and stuff, but haven’t played. Never thought I’d become a convert. And, I was always a Nintendo guy until I got a 360 and played Halo. Then, everything changed…

OldBoy, please take the following question with all due envy. How do you find the time to play so many games? Because I have a hard time believing you're some hoarder. If that were the case, folk here would have staged an intervention ages ago. Are you blissfully retired, or just won the lottery?

I'm pretty sure he's mentioned these are all digital and he's using up a large amount of PSN credit he had. But even through looking at what he said he picked up over the last few months that's maybe a few hundred dollars worth of videogames. Nothing insane for someone to spend on their hobby.

that’s my only, well, maybe that’s an understatement, but I don’t play all the games or Blu-ray’s I buy. I just buy what I like or may like. so I can have. But, playing and watching, while seems easy, it is not. And, I don’t hoard. all my Blus are in nice drawers. And games are all digital. I’m not saying it’s not a sickness. It’s just my hobby and I get what I like. That’s pretty much it.

And, yes, the games were all bought with PSN credit.
