The two things I really miss are themes, and the activity from friends when you logged in. I get that the game you're hovered over 'becomes the theme', but its not the same. I also know they've replaced the activity feature with the discover tab that shows updates in games you play, but they just feel like giant ads to me. I miss being able to see when my friends earn trophies, or see what new games they're playing. I don't understand why they changed these things.

Yeah, I feel like this generation of PS lacks the customizability of personalizing your console for yourself and having that sense of connection with the community. The PS5 does play games well but there's just something beautiful about seeing communities attached to the games you're playing and the activities players share that can be seen easily on the console

I just got my PS5 a month ago, and I love it. I've been rocking the PS3 since 2009, and I totally skipped the PS4 era, so it's a huge step up in the graphical department. I've been playing catch up with a bunch of PS4 games that I missed out on, so I'm taking full advantage of using the PS Plus subscription. I know folks have been complaining about that, but it's allowing me to play a bunch of games I missed out on without having to actually buy them. I just wish the classics catalog had more games in it; the PS Store on PS3 had way more games on its list. And wish that you could bring over your games that you purchased on the PS3 PS Store over to PS5. Either way, looking forward to what the future holds!

Also you have to pay up just to play old classic games. That is why i didnt buy a PS5 but switched to a gaming pc, and i have no regrets. You can customize everything, from playing with mouse and keyboard, maximizing the graphics and installing mods. You dont have to pay for a stupid subscription just to play old games or online. Sure you dont start games that quickly as with a PS5 but the options are limitless. And you save so much money over time.

I was an early adopter for PS5, it's the first console I actually bought on launch day, but I've just been kinda disappointed so far. There have been some great games but I certainly wouldn't describe anything that's released so far as generation defining. Realistically, how are games that are cross-gen with PS4 even supposed to be generation defining at all, they aren't even exclusive to this generation of consoles. My favorite games this year weren't from first party Sony studios (haven't beat GoW R yet so that could change). I'm hoping stuff like FF16 and Spider-Man 2 can really wow me next year, but I have to admit I am expecting Insomniac to announce that Spider-Man 2 will release for PS4, meaning "true next gen" may still be a ways away. The lack of communication is really annoying as well, you state that Sony is taking the Nintendo route of announcing stuff when they are ready but I don't agree with this. Nintendo still shows up to trade shows like Gamescom and TGS, and they have multiple Directs/Mini-Directs/Indie Showcases a year. They also have a first party studio game almost every month. We've had I think 3 State of Plays this year from Sony, no Showcases, and they don't show up to any trade shows or really communicate what they have in the works at all. I know what Insomniac has cooking, but what else is there actually to look forward to from Sony? TLoU Factions? It's just been a pretty frustrating experience because I really want to be more enthralled in this console than I am currently. But so far it's just proven that being an early adopter is really only exciting for a very short amount of time.

What I really want is custom backgrounds tied to game tiles. For example, if u have a cool screenshot from GoWR that screenshot will flash when u hover over the game card instead of the stock image. In general I think there should be more customization for the system and UI by now. Especially seeing how some of the things people are requesting were available on previous hardware.

The only thing I'm a bit disappointed with on PS5 is that during that Mark Cerny long pre-release speech, he said that 3D audio would be coming to people who have more than just TV speakers. Here we are 2 years after release and still no word about 3D audio for people with 5.1, 7.1 or more speaker set ups!

I was very excited but it’s just that there are not a ton of next gen games. I’m still glad I got it because this was the first time ever played a game with 60fps. I’ll take 1080p all day and get 60fps so I hope game developers will give some flexibility if they can.

I just wish Sony had more weird, unique games like Gravity Rush, Shadow of the Colossus or Bloodborne. Maybe more genres like horror, puzzle, party games... or maybe finally a first person perspective game (I know VR is coming but the launch lineup looks sad to be honest). Less blockbuster but more weird shit (especially from Japan), I hope you know what I mean.

The problem with having so many games straddle between the PS4 and the PS5 is that it makes the PS5 superfluous. You can say "it makes the games run better" all you like, but at this point It's just a second version of the PS4 Pro.

For me, the Dualsense and the improoved audio made really a huge difference in how I experience new games on PS5. But sadly that's kind of about it.. Small to no load times are indeed great. But I already had a third-party game for PS5 (Steelrising) wich seems not to be the highest demanding or pretiest, and it does have visible load times. It feels like if you were playing a PS4 game on PS5. I even checked and there is no PS4 version wich could have maybe explained this..? Backwards compatibility is nice indeed, but at least one of my games in the store ist listed as "incompatible with PS5".. So I will probably still play all my ps4 games on my actual PS4 pro, also because of the limited (or expensive to buy) storage on PS5. Like the majority, I also miss some of the homescreen features like folders or some sort of themes. I also have no streaming-service account, which renders the "Media" view useless and kind of annoying as you get right into when you accidentaly press R1. I also miss the feature from PS4 to very easily display the whole trophy-list, from the current game, inside the quick menu. Maybe this can be added as side-view/PiP? As my final impression: PS5 is great and all. It's in my opinion a very beautiful designed console and the Dualsense really sets the immersion on a new level. But for now, I still play more on my PS4 (and PS3) then my PS5.

I haven't seen it's worth yet. I bought the PS5 to improve load times as well as graphics and new games. But the difference is extremely minor (load times). And when most of the games I play don't even take advantage of the Dualsense's abilities or have the new improved graphics per say (PS4 titles) then the worth to me is less. And the way Astro Bot plays with all the features but the other titles don't seems like a bait and switch maneuver. And don't get me started on PSVR!!! But whenever they decide to step the game up I'm ready...I guess.

Thanks for the 2 year recap! I'll consider buying one more seriously when a PS5 Slim or Pro model releases. Currently most of the console exclusives haven't caught my eye, besides the Demon's Souls remake. Also the liquid metal issues are concerning. I am looking forward to FFXVI, FFVII Rebirth, Stellar Blade, and maybe more. Since PC GPUs still cost an arm & a leg, I think Sony is building a stronger case to buy a PS5 compared to when it launched 2 years ago.

Having been fortunate enough to own a PS5 since day 1 I am pretty happy with it. But the UI hasn’t improved at all in 2 years and PS+ Premium isn’t really doing it for me. The main reason I signed up to that tier was to play PS1 games. They hardly ever put any on the system. Also quick resume on the Xbox is so useful when switching between games. I feel like the software element is lagging behind the Xbox Series systems. The controller is a beaut though, can’t argue with that.

Another is themes as I am sure everyone else has been saying I just really miss how a theme can change the system entirely from the sound, system music and the icons on the interface. I will say PS5 has had a better start then the PS4 and 3 IMO and they are doing very well. I think they just need to work on PS plus and also working on the streaming service and also PS plus on PC because the UI there is just horrendous and honestly no one likes having to stream a game.

The Dualsense is the first Sony controller ever where I actually feel uncomfortable using it and my fingers numb after 15-20 minutes of gameplay. Why make it so big....it reminds me of the OG Xbox controller which was horrible. I wish they made the Dualshock 4 playable for PS5 games since you can use the Dualshock when doing remote play for PS5 games. Only issue is you lose rumble support. Anyways....my PS5 is basically used to just play PS4 games since I can't enjoy any PS5 games with the controller sadly.

Dualsense and DS3 are super uncomfortable for me. It’s gotten to the point where I download the PS4 versions just to use the DS4. I hate how strict they’ve been with the controller support for native PS5 titles. There are no adapters that work either and a small handful of approved 3rd party so we’re SOL. Shame since the DS4 is the perfect controller for me.

Took a while to get ps5 but it’s been great since. Got it just in time for Februarys bombs to drop. It’s been a great year for gaming imo. From indies to AAA. I’ve enjoyed many. Can’t wait to see what Sony and everyone else has planned for 2023. The main thing I want to see happen is the classic games coming to the system without needing streaming. If they won’t remake the earlier god of wars (I’m only for remakes for games that were released before 2010) at least let me play it without seconds of delay in character movement. I got premium for the remainder of the year cus it was $8 but there’s no chance I keep it if streaming is the only option.
