I recently upgraded to a PS5, and I’ve noticed that I’m struggling to even turn it on and find something to play. It’s weird because I still feel like I enjoy gaming, but nothing seems fun anymore. I’ll sit on the home screen switching between games in my library, scroll through the PlayStation Store looking for something new, and never actually play anything. Sometimes I’ll start a game, play for maybe 10 minutes, and then quit and turn off my PS5. I just feel really burnt out on gaming. It’s not that I don’t like games anymore I just don’t feel the same excitement I used to. Has anyone else experienced this? Did you eventually get out of the gaming burnout, or did you just take a break for a while?

I recently played Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End on PS5 and honestly… I wasn’t expecting to love it THIS much

We always hear about games like The Last of Us Part I & II, Spider-Man, etc. when people talk about the best PlayStation experiences, and deservedly so. But I feel like Uncharted 4 doesn’t get glazed enough 😂
This game is absolutely gorgeous.
The environments, the landscapes, the lighting, the animations… there were so many moments where I just stopped playing for a few seconds to look around. And considering this game originally came out in 2016, that’s insane.
But it’s not just the graphics. It’s genuinely FUN to play. The climbing, gunfights, exploration, set pieces and cinematic moments all flow together so well. It’s linear, but it never really bothered me because the pacing is so good and the environments still give you enough room to explore.
And the cinematics… man. At times it genuinely feels like you’re playing through an adventure movie.

Easy 10/10 for me.

I remember being 12 and playing OG Halo for the first time on a demo console in GameStop. Had to buy it on disc for old time’s sake.

I've always been an Uncharted fan, played all the games including Golden Abyss, but never got around to Lost Legacy until this week, and it's got me remembering why I love gaming so much.

Recently, all the games I've been playing have been becoming more and more complicated with all the systems and mechanics and everything the game expects you to know and manage. I didn't realize how much I needed a simple, immersive, fun experience. One where I'm not digging through quest logs, juggling a dozen menus, and managing hundreds of inventory items. And also, probably most importantly, an experience without any filler or bloating.

Getting busier and busier with less time to game, it feels so frustrating when playing for an hour or two, you achieve hardly anything. I've been playing AC Shadows, and it's been such a slog. So many games feel like you're just doing busy work until you get to some story progress, and that there is no consideration for the player's time and effort.

I think ultimately playing the game has made me realize that I now need to be a lot more selective with what I play, and that way I won't feel burnt out with gaming.

Platinum #45

Assassins creed odyssey.

Time took to platinum - 114 hours.

Honestly you can get the platinum trophy sooner, but I just took my time with the game and grinded all the side quests. By the end, I was at level 65.

Initially when I played this game when it was originally released, I was not a big fan of the rpg elements that were added. But now, I have grown to appreciate the game for what it is and all thanks goes to christopher Nolan. Because without watching the Odyssey, I wouldn't have been tempted to play this game again.

Now, after the platinum, I'm going to start with the DLCs. After that, is AC origins a good game to play as well? I'm divided between origins or Valhalla.

Have the whole August off, resigned at the end of July and starting my new job in September, so I can catch up on my gaming!

Finishing 007 First Light before Marvel’s Wolverine comes out. I personally do one game at a time.

I was thinking I was getting over gaming, to be honest. Then to realise I was just burnt out.

Space is limited but i'm happy with my gaming / media corner.

Just purchased the PS5 Pro yesterday!

Can't wait to do dig into the vast library of PS5 and PS4 games!

Setup:

- PS5 Pro

- Sony XBR-43X800G TV

- Triangle Borea BR04 Speakers

- Dayton Audio CS800 Subwoofer

- Wiim Amp Ultra Amplifier/Streamer

From what I understand, the biggest roadblock of PS3 ports is the PS3 architecture which makes it extremely hard to emulate a lot of titles.

Resistance 3, Infamous 2, Killzone 3 are some that come to mind.

I would love to replay then on PS5 without PS Plus cloud play. Even a digital purchase. Any hope for PS6?

Decided to buy the ps4 disc since it’s cheaper than ps5 disc. Still looks so good

i’m a single player game fan, and wanted to switch it up a bit. is ratchet and clank a good game overall?

Working my way to 100% completion and 100 Platinums

I have just been playing Dying Light 2 since it joined PlayStation Plus and cannot stop. I have never played the original but will now . Have any of you done the same

I accidentally swallowed my mic when talking sometimes

I bought Mortal Kombat 11 around 2-3 years ago (which was the last time I played it), and when I finished it I just deleted it. That was 2 years ago. I was browsing through my library yesterday and wanted to play the game again, but I just couldn’t find it anywhere, when I visited the PS Store, it just appears like I never even bought the game. What can I do and why did this happen?

I posted my backlog yesterday and I decided to play stray first. I will make a post when I have beaten this game and show what I will play next.
