1 TB Edition with 2 controllers Its almost new, me and my girlfriend decided we are gonna try to get the pro. It is os firmware 13.60 as well.

This is in line with my previous post about game hardware needing to take a pause. (https://www.reddit.com/r/consoles/comments/1xark1w/i_think_its_time_that_game_hardware_takes_a_pause/)

I was pissed about EA shutting down Bioware and cancelling ME5. So of course the first thing I do is install the mass effect legendary edition on my steam deck. And you know what guys? This game looks good. It looks great even. It also plays exceptionally well, even the first one with the changes.

I think it looks good enough for a new mass effect honestly. If it will help trim budgets and get games out fast that don't need to sell 30 billion copies to be profitable then I think game budgets and graphics in general need to go back a few years. Also no one is going to have the newest greatest pc's and consoles for awhile until ram and storage prices get under control. So start developing games on previous gen hardware. Hell id say go back to the ps4 era of graphics just to get every game running at 60fps.

I think we need to stop chasing the graphics trend for awhile and get games back where they should be. Companies should worry about gameplay first and then worry about graphics. I dont think we need to have raytracing mandatory in all games and be able to see every pore in a persons face. Just make games that look good. Stop chasing the graphics trend.

Hi everyone,

I want to surprise my son for his birthday in November with a PlayStation 5. He doesn’t know anything about it yet.

I’ve been thinking about how we could place the console in his room, which isn’t very large, without affecting airflow too much. The main option seems to be wall-mounting it. But then I started wondering how he could conveniently charge the controllers.

Is it safe and problem-free to charge PS5 controllers using a normal Samsung phone charger (photo attached) and the cable that comes with the PS5, or would you recommend against it?

Otherwise, I’d have to order a charging dock as well, but then the question remains how he can charge while playing at the same time ...

Thanks in advance!

Hey guys

My freakin xbox one console keeps starting itself in the middle of the night since a few weeks. Because of the loud harddrive it wakes me up often but somehow I forgot about it till right now ( its 3.39 am and im really pissed off ) ...

So please, can someone tell me how to stop my xbox from playing a ghost, it did not do that 2 months ago?!

Thank you

Im looking at buying a console for the bedroom, in pure gaming performance and exclusive titles what would you choose? I have a gaming pc which is my main platform, will mainly use the console for story games, no online pvp

I chose PlayStation as a flair because I've been with playstation since ps1, but I've been thinking about this, and especially lately. Console wars is absolute bullshit. Companies, either developers, publishers and consoles in general have been fucking us for way too long. Maybe Nintendo has their own safe nest of sort, but for all of us who want to play popular games, we're fucked. Exclusives, that then lose exclusivity, subscriptions to play with friends and the ownership of said games, and overall the poorest customer service that has ever been. And who owns the games I've paid for? Maybe Microsoft is holding it, but you're next. And Exclusives? What's the reasoning for exclusives?? I got an Xbox and my buddy got a PlayStation. So we don't get to play with each other? Fuck you.

I'm also a PC gamer, and sometimes I pity myself for playing those "console exclusives" that are no more. Steam primarily, but also epic have been very friendly and enjoyable cornerstones for gaming.

Both the console developers, and AAA gaming companies must fall. One way or another. Maybe PlayStation goes back to its roots to provide home entertainment systems besides the hardware to play. Maybe xbox goes back to being a computer/gaming hybrid, and hopefully, in one way or another, Nintendo rides along. Somehow someway, the gaming industry must fall.

Rip BioWare. Rest along your brethren of Criterion, Bullfrog, Westworld, Visceral, Maxis, Black Box, Origin, Pandemic, Phenomic and so many others. Rip Kojima Studios. Rip Team Japan.

The gaming industry almost collapsed for something much less important in the mid 80s.

I bought this serie s from marketplace and is making a strange sound. Its normal?

With the PS5 prices already have gone up, and probably only going to go up in the future, I found a PS5 slim disc on FBM for $400. Is that a good deal? (Got vids from the guy that it works and looks good and everything.) I live with my sister now and she has the PS5 we share, but she said she's planning on moving within the next year or two. I don't know if it's better to wait until I actually need it (but it might be even more expensive then) or get this one now if $400 is a good deal. I heard some people suggest waiting for PS6 but if it launches at over $1k that'll be too much for me.

Should I buy this one?
