What is currently on your mind?

Yeah.. the sounds they made.. reminded me of Pikmin noises. Lol.

Wow. Hey though, it's probably worth it. I've read reports this console will be sold out well into 2022.

I bought the Digital only version. With my PS4.. besides the first game I bought for it. I never used discs.. do didn't see the point.

They do sound kind of like Pikmin lol. That's a good series aside from the time limit.

Yeah it doesn't seem like the PS5 shortages will let up anytime soon. I can understand getting digital. I thought about that but I have some PS4 games on disc I was waiting to play on PS5 and sometimes I do Blu-rays.

Normally I do not like time limits in games.. but for Pikmin it made it all the more exciting. I know the caves in Pikmin 2 did not have time limits and at first I thought it was cool.. but later on I realized it kind of dragged the game down.

Yeah.. plus I wanted the console to appear somewhat smaller.. even if it doesn't amount to much.

Curious.. how do you judge the new haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. Personally I think 90% of it is overrated but I've heard others give more glowing reviews.

Sometimes the extra urgency from a time limit does make it more fun. Maybe Pikmin 4 will strike the perfect balance or have some relax mode to give players more choice.

The console is massive. Do you have yours up or down/flat? It feels good in Astrobot but the game was designed to show those features off. I doubt it'll be too noticeable for most games. I could be wrong though.

The console is massive.

For me I was hearing for months how much of a monster this console looks that when I finally got one myself it seemed much smaller than what I was expecting.

Do you have yours up or down/flat?

I keep mine up, looks cooler that way. Also haven't really had any console that could do that before (besides the Wii).

What way do you keep yours up?

Interesting. For me most of the haptic feedback did felt cheap/too intense and mostly reminded me of the original Xbox controller rumble. I was impressed by some of it in Astro. Such as the level where you can jump on a rubber ducky. That sensation surprised me. Was also fun shooting that gun in the game. Downloading Resident Evil Village tonight, so hopefully it features even more advanced gun sensations.

For me it still seems big lol. Some people oniine said they had their PS5 standing up and it would make weird noises when installing games. I have mine down. Keeping it vertical would look cooler though.

It is similar to rumble features other controllers have had. I like how the triggers feel using the spaceship and the turret gun is one of my favorite parts of the game. Wish there was more of that. I'm curious how it would feel in a more traditional shooting game. I plan to try Village soon too. From what I hear it's sort of like RE4 which I have a lot of good memories with.

Weird.. I haven't noticed that. Given it's SSD.. everything should be fine.. even if your PS5 was upside down. Lol.

Have you tried Demon Souls yet?

I'd be afraid to try that lol.

Na, I figure the game will be too difficult for me. I don't like dying hundreds of times lol. Is it good?

 

[MehGuy]

Really? What do you think is going to happen? Most likely coil issues. My PS5 has that.. the same as my PS4.

I normally do not like difficult games too.. but this one is addicting. You become really familiar with the environment and little by little discover new strategies to get further and further ahead.

My PS4 Pro is extremely loud and I think maybe it was because I turned it on upside down without realizing once. Don't want anything bad to happen to the 5.

Some say they made Demon's Souls easier and more casual and others that it's still really tough. Shame there is no demo for Demon's Souls. It'd be nice to try before buying.

All PS4 Pros were loud. Mine sounded like a jet engine all the time.

Amazed how the PS5 hardly makes a peep.. even with more graphically demanding games.

Well I've found it hard. One death and you have to start the level all over. Haven't even progressed beyond the first stage yet. Although the levels are huge though.

Same, my Pro can wake the dead. No issues yet with the PS5.

Demon's Souls is probably too brutal for me lol. Glad you are enjoying it though.

 

[Paidiske]

Why oh why oh why do I have to fight with my daughter to get her to brush her teeth, every. single. time??

Yeah, don't worry about it. One of the reasons they made the PS5 so huge.. was in response to the PS4 Pro noise problem.

Have you tried with an electric childrens toothbrush,
she may think it is a bit more fun.

 

[Paidiske]

We have, Robban, but it's a sensory issue (she's on the spectrum) and it didn't help. It did help a bit when I found blueberry flavoured toothpaste and we switched away from mint (the mint was always too strong for her).

In the rare old times (haha)

there was a tooth powder, (eucryl) don,t know if I
got the name right, it had no taste at all.

 

[Paidiske]

Apparently tooth powder still exists, but I don't know that I've ever actually seen it on the shelf for sale!

It is available on line, even the original sort,

In our house we never had anything else.

These last couple of days have been pretty horrible.. for a multitude of reasons.
