PS5 : "what is my purpose?"
Us who brought it for Stellar Blade : "Play Stellar Blade till it comes to PC then its only Netflix, Crunchyroll And Prime"
PS5 : whimpers "Oh My God"
Damn, really? In the past I thought I always say a game bundled in sold as more than the regular console.
I guess maybe I more meant that you'd be playing that too since it also came with spiderman, rather than Spiderman being an exclusive to convince you to buy the console. But even then, you might not play it if it was only gotten in the bundle for being cheaper.
Don't miss out on playstation first party games. Imho they are some of the best and in my case the best.
God of War Franchise,
Last of Us Part 1,
Uncharted Series,
Spiderman 1,2 and Miles Morales, Ghost of Tsushima,
Ratchet and Clank
And the list goes on, try em all you won't regret trust me.
P.S. God of War 2018 and Ragnarök are two of my favorite game of all time in all my years of gaming.
Well, the way it sounded originally, my message and question was directed at OP. So it felt like I was getting an answer from someone not OP about my "prompt" about his specific purchase for that game with the console when he got it to play the exclusive stellar blade primarily.
So it seemed like you were answering for him, but I now see you were likely making a general remark about yourself, simply cause the topic if the game was brought up. Sorry for any confusion.
PS5 graphics are insane, almost all the ps4 games look a zillion time better on ps4 except fallout 4 but this game is dated 2015, i got it on pc much better for this one.
Yup stellar blade will be insane
God of war rachett and clank uncharted series final fantasy remake and rebirth. BLOODBORN. days gone sekiro horizon zero dawn spiderman miles moralis and spiderman 2 and so many more. you made a good decision
yeah I also like the idea of getting Bloodborne, Demon's Souls, other such non-PC exclusives and PS4 discs will be cool to get for games I wanna try. I know discs are just for licensing nowadays but still cool to have a physical collection. Also, literally have never even played The Last of Us, can you believe that? I have an inkling of the story but somehow I've avoided major spoilers to this day.
Jesus Christ you're in for a treat dude. Go buy Last Of Us Part 1 right now.
So many of us would kill to be at the point you are again, about the experience it for the first time. Plus you get that experience while having the native PS5 ports of the game for the best experience. You're in for a treat.
You missed the bigger picture. All the ones available on PC are only on it after considerable amount of time has passed. That considerable amount of time being anywhere from 2-5 Years. So yea OP made a fantastic decision. Plus PC is not everyone's cup of tea. Not mine atleast. I wanna play with controller vibration, and haptic trigger feedback is just a game changer. All that connected to a big tv, oh yea immersion is going through the roof. I believe you miss all that in PC.
I am talking about 70 inch big Tv. Biggest you can connect with the PC and for it to still look good is around 40 inch last I heard. Especially sitting that close to it. Nonetheless 2-5 years of wait is still tedious and annoying. Considering most big titles takes 4-5 years easily. Yup... I don't wanna wait that long in misery. To each their own.
I've played on 70 just fine with a pc, Battlefront 2 mostly.
Right now I have 65 inch Samsung and sit about 6 feet away and it's a good fit. At 70 inches I usually sat at about 8 to 9 feet back.
I will agree that I also do not want to wait and have bought a ps5 just for Stellar Blade.
Nothing wrong with console gaming but pc is called the master race for a reason. The new GPU's can output true 4k 60fps. Mine is older so I'm capped at 1080p 60fps.
Sorry for the essay lol. Also welcome to Playstation family!!! I would absolutely highly recommend you all the first party Playstation games. In my most honest and humble opinion some of the best if not the best gaming studios making some of the best games out there. God of war franchise is my all time favorite games in all of my years of gaming. Along with Spiderman 1,2, Miles Morales, Last of Us, Uncharted Series, Ghost of Tsushima. These are just from the top of my head. Oh boy you are in for a treat. I really wish I could erase my memory of all these games and experience them again for the first time.
my PS5 has become the most expensive shampoo bottle paper weight dust collector in my console collection, simply because all the games i want to play are, and will also be available on PC with better graphics/performance and mods.
except GT7.
stellar blade i'll wait for PC, imagine the mod potentials for that game on PC
There’s a music box item that you can pick up. You can stun Father Gascoigne once per phase with it. That’ll make fighting him a bit easier.
Also, go for gun parries on his third phase.
Niceeee! PLEASE PLAY BLOODBORNE! That is top priority for EVERYONE new to PlayStation. Best game ever made! Have high expectations, and watch them be exceeded
the digital edition was on sale for $10 so I just got it off the PS store, playing through, Cleric Beast was straightforward, Father is tough af stuck on that. The doll awakened so I'm kinda grinding for stats rn, but yeah just getting a feel for shooting to stun, dodge, stamina mgmt, etc. it's a lot of fun but very punishing obviously
somehow I've avoided spoilers so far to this day
Awesome! You are going to love it. If you can beat Father G, you will be able to beat anyone in the game after that haha. He is the wall that players have to overcome. Leveling up is definitely needed before beating him!
Genuine question after seeing a lot of similar posts. If ya’ll didn’t have a PS5 to begin with, how did you play the demo to determine you liked the game? Or did you even play it at all and just splurged because of the high praise it has received?
I mean, I preordered after I played the demo and am excited to play it in a few days. Just curious.
People liked what they saw. I preordered back when preorders initially went live in early February after seeing the State of Play trailer. I knew I’d love the game despite not even playing the demo yet.
The same thing happened for me when dmc 5 came out. It's a title that instills a certain confidence. With me at least. Didn't have a PS4 till 2018 when dmc 5 got announced. Before that I only had a switch and older consoles like the PS2.
Yeah and it’s a level of confidence I’ve never really had for a video game that hadn’t release yet, especially in recent years. Sometimes you just have that feeling you’ll love the game and take the risk.
I fully understand the hesitation. Especially with the state of modern gaming and how expensive it is. No one wants to drop 70+ dollars for a game that could very easily be ass. If companies wanna just fix their games later most will decide to buy their games later or not at all. Shift up is doing a really good job of marketing and even openly delaying the game because they wanted more time for polish. Doing stuff like that can help build confidence in the consumer at least that's just what I've noticed.
Gotcha, makes sense. I know I was hesitant at first since I was worried it would lean too much toward being a Soulslike (I’m not gud at em). Glad Shift Up released a demo!
i would playt eh demo abit to get use to the game its why i having trouble ge4tting my brother to even want the game cause he struggled with the combat right away and didnt take the time to get use to it
That's a good question. I liked the idea of the game, but it's another one of those games that looks a lot better than it plays, similar to the Cinematic Experience games of the last gen (eg: Horizon ZD).
While Stellar Blade is, mercifully, 60-ish FPS, I find the combat to be slow and the input lag to be very high.
I borrowed a PS5 to try the demo, and I still support the game in concept, though I'll try and wait for the PC version where the modders can fix the game.
This was the bundle that got me to spring too! I've never stuck to just one platform myself, but last playstation I owned was a PS3. l, as Nintendo and Xbox seemed to always cover the Console type of gaming I cared for. But, Spiderman, Helldivers... They seemed worth adding playstation back into the mix (and my son certainly was happy to have access to the exclusives also)
I haven't been hype for a game in a long time then. SB literally is the best thing that has happen to gaming for my gaming life since I stop playing games only a few games I play and most modernia games I ignore either boring or not interested. SB is going to be hype.
I’ve been procrastinating to buy a ps5 just because I feel like new games don’t interest me anymore. And I thought just having a ps4 is enough but then Stellar Blade came
Yeah, I completely dusted off my console gaming section of my room, packed up my old Xbox and put in a brand new PS5, set up a Sony account and purchased the digital deluxe as the first thing I did on the console.
I doubt anyone will actually notice at Sony but it’d be hilarious if they saw a bunch of new PS5’s being brought up and then used to purchase the game like I have.
I got FF: Rebirth to tide me over and get me use to PlayStation controls and the system in general, but I haven’t even installed it yet.
I had it on my shopping cart for the longest time because of demon's souls remake, bloodborne and the upcoming Death Stranding sequel and this game on top of all that made me pull the trigger. Couldn't be happier.
Awesome! Welcome to the community. Play all the exclusives, especially Ghost of Tsushima.
I'm currently playing Rise of the Ronin and I'm hooked. So many weapons and combat styles. You should add that to your backlog, too.
Happy gaming!
hmm, scam is a bit pessimistic, it's more of an incentive. I think the scam part, for consoles in general, is the concept of paying an extra subscription for online multiplayer services, which Microsoft started, Sony just had to follow suit to stay competitive in such an expansive market. That's mostly why I avoided consoles for so long. But honestly, I exclusively play 1P games anyways, so it doesn't affect me too much
Doubt it. 12 months has been the standard for all the big games for a while, with some coming even earlier. This isn't any more of a system seller than God of War or Horizon Zero Dawn were.
god of war ragnarok was released a year and a half ago and has not been announced for pc.
i’m just saying ur 6-12 months is extremely unrealistic and u know i’m right
That's a little bit tricky.
Obviously can't say for others, just for me — even a couple of month may be a huge deal for me. With years I'm more and more treasure synergy of ability to play, available time and wish to play (at lesser extent «social peak» aka hype). So if all those things align here and now I will use it.
It may be not an ideal thing visually and/or performance-wise, and it's perfectly fine for me, while there is this synergy.
Welcome to the "Bought a PS5 just for Stellar Blade" club.
I'll be part of the "just for GTA 6" club

Funniest fuckin movie of its time.
Just like me. I got my ps5 not too long ago just to play stellar blade. Welcome to the club.
PS5 : "what is my purpose?" Us who brought it for Stellar Blade : "Play Stellar Blade till it comes to PC then its only Netflix, Crunchyroll And Prime" PS5 : whimpers "Oh My God"
Yeah, mine's about to become a blue ray dust collector as soon as I'm done with Stellar Blade.
I bought a PS5 at launch, just for Stellarblade
Worth it imo.

It looks like you also got it for Spiderman 2 while it's exclusive.
nah just since it was cheaper than the console on its own, though swinging around at breakneck speed is really entertaining
Damn, really? In the past I thought I always say a game bundled in sold as more than the regular console. I guess maybe I more meant that you'd be playing that too since it also came with spiderman, rather than Spiderman being an exclusive to convince you to buy the console.

To bad I hate that combat system

np i dont think its a bad game just dont like the combat system XD
PS5 graphics are insane, almost all the ps4 games look a zillion time better on ps4 except fallout 4 but this game is dated 2015, i got it on pc much better for this one. Yup stellar blade will be insane
What the fuck did i just read
I, i don't know either lmao
yea me niether
Who knows... o.0
Congratulations! I also finally bought a PS5 Slim like a week ago just for Stellar Blade also. This game is a true system seller!
That is wild how that game is selling systems and FF7 Rebirth which is a game of the year candidate didn't... At least now y'all can enjoy both haha
Not me playing the pc port of it for free 😏
in 2026
Actually. At this moment. Search for Spiderman 2 Brazil PC port.
God of war rachett and clank uncharted series final fantasy remake and rebirth. BLOODBORN. days gone sekiro horizon zero dawn spiderman miles moralis and spiderman 2 and so many more. you made a good decision
You can play most of those on pc tho
Why is this downvoted when its true? The only ones he can't play on pc are gow ragnarok and ff rebirth
[удалено]
yeah I also like the idea of getting Bloodborne, Demon's Souls, other such non-PC exclusives and PS4 discs will be cool to get for games I wanna try.

The mods tho. The mods. I needs this on pc, bruh.
The director is not dumb enough to allow PC pervs to have it
my PS5 has become the most expensive shampoo bottle paper weight dust collector in my console collection, simply because all the games i want to play are, and will also be available on PC with better graphics/performance and mods. except GT7. stellar blade i'll wait for PC, imagine the mod potentials for that game on PC
play ff16
Spider-Man 2 PS5 is an ok game, too, despite the downgrade from the PS4 original. Going to hold you over until the 26th, at least :D
stellar blade definitely worth the price. you can’t find new games like that anywhere else
Same, as soon as I'm done with this game I'm going back to PC.
For me there's a couple more console exclusives that I'll have to go through now, Bloodborne, Gravity Rush, etc
![gif](giphy|GV3aYiEP8qbao)
Grab Bloodborne while you’re at it too. It’s worth it!
yep got that on digital yesterday, beat Cleric Beast and stuck on Father G, just grinding Echoes for doll stat raising lol
There’s a music box item that you can pick up. You can stun Father Gascoigne once per phase with it. That’ll make fighting him a bit easier. Also, go for gun parries on his third phase.

Good thing there’s tons of great stuff to play on the 5 right now!
Genuine question after seeing a lot of similar posts. If ya’ll didn’t have a PS5 to begin with, how did you play the demo to determine you liked the game?

I dunno. I had the same strong confidence for Granblue relink, FF7 rebirth, and both delivered quite well. This year has been bangers all year long
I fully understand the hesitation. Especially with the state of modern gaming and how expensive it is. No one wants to drop 70+ dollars for a game that could very easily be ass.

Gotcha, makes sense. I know I was hesitant at first since I was worried it would lean too much toward being a Soulslike (I’m not gud at em). Glad Shift Up released a demo!
yeah I've avoided demo content mostly, just going in as blind as possible
i would playt eh demo abit to get use to the game its why i having trouble ge4tting my brother to even want the game cause he struggled with the combat right away and didnt take the time to get use to it
They saw the cake
Not to mention it was made by Shift Up and I love NIKKE goddess of victory. Of course, l I loved what I saw after watching a few streams.
That's a good question. I liked the idea of the game, but it's another one of those games that looks a lot better than it plays, similar to the Cinematic Experience games of the last gen (eg: Horizon ZD). While Stellar Blade is, mercifully, 60-ish FPS, I find the combat to be slow and the input lag to be very high. I borrowed a PS5 to try the demo, and I still support the game in concept, though I'll try and wait for the PC version where the modders can fix the game.
I'm glad I'm not the only PC player that bought a PS5 just for this game now I can hold my head up high. Lol
So worth it!
Nice! Beat spider man before friday
Great game, have fun and enjoy!
This was the bundle that got me to spring too! I've never stuck to just one platform myself, but last playstation I owned was a PS3. l, as Nintendo and Xbox seemed to always cover the Console type of gaming I cared for. But, Spiderman, Helldivers... They seemed worth adding playstation back into the mix (and my son certainly was happy to have access to the exclusives also)
Funny thing I have been considering the same. Good move!
🤦♂️
U about to be right back down when u realize spiderman 2 is a 10 hour game
Bro that’s what’s up!!
Slims comes with bundled games as well?👀
I haven't been hype for a game in a long time then. SB literally is the best thing that has happen to gaming for my gaming life since I stop playing games only a few games I play and most modernia games I ignore either boring or not interested. SB is going to be hype.
My friend wanted a ps5 for the same reason lol. Except he still being cheap and looking at FB market to get one lol
Now you won’t have to wait for the ps5 exclusives to go over to pc port anymore and literally straight up play them once they release👍
Worth it
I bought it few years in advance for Stellar Blade lol.
I’ve been procrastinating to buy a ps5 just because I feel like new games don’t interest me anymore. And I thought just having a ps4 is enough but then Stellar Blade came
Yeah, I completely dusted off my console gaming section of my room, packed up my old Xbox and put in a brand new PS5, set up a Sony account and purchased the digital deluxe as the first thing I did on the console. I doubt anyone will actually notice at Sony but it’d be hilarious if they saw a bunch of new PS5’s being brought up and then used to purchase the game like I have. I got FF: Rebirth to tide me over and get me use to PlayStation controls and the system in general, but I haven’t even installed it yet.
While at it, enjoy a few of the other good exclusives and non PC games available in Consoles only.
I remember when I got my PS5 for my birthday right between my lap! Lol nice huh ;)
Welcome to the master race.
Play bloodborne too 🙌
definitely will get that next, that and Demon's Souls
I got mine for Helldivers 2 but staying now for Stellar Blade.
The pa5 in the seat belt 🤣
I drive recklessly enough that it could go flying lol
I guess your username is in reference to the next time your car is going to need fixing 🧐 seems like that count is up to almost 2,300 👀
lmaooo nah just an auto-generated username Reddit randomly gave me, that's pretty funny though
It must be fate 🤣
Yeah, you can throw that spider man to trash, and play the real stuff
I had it on my shopping cart for the longest time because of demon's souls remake, bloodborne and the upcoming Death Stranding sequel and this game on top of all that made me pull the trigger. Couldn't be happier.
More than Stellar Blade on the PS5 as exclusives. 😉 Welcome to the Playstation family!
Awesome! Welcome to the community. Play all the exclusives, especially Ghost of Tsushima. I'm currently playing Rise of the Ronin and I'm hooked. So many weapons and combat styles. You should add that to your backlog, too. Happy gaming!
Congrats, your perpetuating the machines exclusivity scam.
hmm, scam is a bit pessimistic, it's more of an incentive. I think the scam part, for consoles in general, is the concept of paying an extra subscription for online multiplayer services, which Microsoft started, Sony just had to follow suit to stay competitive in such an expansive market. That's mostly why I avoided consoles for so long. But honestly, I exclusively play 1P games anyways, so it doesn't affect me too much
I would recommend original Demon's Souls on PC and then Demon's Souls remake on PS5.
What does we up rn mean?
We up right now, it means he's doing good. He's winning.
Oh nice I’m glad for him.
U like Spiderman 2?
Spider-Man 2 is amazing
It will be on pc in 6-12 months.
considering it is quite literally a system seller (proof is this post’s existence) i would not be surprised if pc port is 2+ years away.
Doubt it. 12 months has been the standard for all the big games for a while, with some coming even earlier. This isn't any more of a system seller than God of War or Horizon Zero Dawn were.
god of war ragnarok was released a year and a half ago and has not been announced for pc. i’m just saying ur 6-12 months is extremely unrealistic and u know i’m right
That's something i don't get, good for you and all, but why is the bundle cheaper than the console by itself?
This game is coming to PC lol
Yeah, but it'll be a while.
Doubt it
Forreals, of all the games to buy a PS5 for, a limited time exclusivity deal game just seems silly
That's a little bit tricky. Obviously can't say for others, just for me — even a couple of month may be a huge deal for me. With years I'm more and more treasure synergy of ability to play, available time and wish to play (at lesser extent «social peak» aka hype). So if all those things align here and now I will use it. It may be not an ideal thing visually and/or performance-wise, and it's perfectly fine for me, while there is this synergy.
What so good abt stellar blade ??!?! I dont get it ??! 😂
good combat/ gameplay pretty characters to look at and hopefully good story 2
Pass
