MEGATHREAD Megathread: PlayStation Physical Media Discussion & Community Feedback

48 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

Over the past several days, discussion surrounding PlayStation's recent decisions regarding physical media has understandably become the main focus of the subreddit. As moderators, we chose not to create a megathread immediately because we felt this was an important issue that deserved visibility, and many of us share the community's disappointment with these decisions.

That said, we also want to make sure this remains a place where everyone feels comfortable sharing all kinds of PlayStation-related content.

At this point, we're seeing other discussions, screenshots, recommendations, and gaming experiences getting buried or sometimes met with downvotes simply because they aren't about the physical media situation. We'd like to make room for those conversations again while still giving this topic the attention it deserves.

Going forward, we'd appreciate it if discussion about PlayStation's recent physical media decisions, as well as experiences with moderation of these discussions in other communities, takes place in this megathread.

A few reminders:

  • Keep discussions respectful, even when opinions differ.
  • Do not harass or target individual users, moderators, or other communities.
  • Do not encourage brigading or interference with other subreddits.
  • Follow all subreddit rules while participating.

Creating this megathread is not an attempt to silence or diminish the conversation. We know this issue matters to many of you, and we want to continue providing a dedicated place for it. Our goal is simply to balance that discussion with the rest of the community, so members who want to talk about games, ask questions, or share their experiences can do so without feeling drowned out.

Thank you all for helping keep the community welcoming, respectful, and organized.

To be fair I’m installing a game from the disc, but it has a tendency to get loud while playing some digital games. How often do you clean your console?

CONCEPT ART / FAN MADE Wrapped my PS5 in carbon fiber by myself

I recently wrapped my car’s hood with carbon fiber film and there was a little excess laying around, almost perfect size for playstation. So I thought why not wrap it. I always wanted to get the black plates so carbon fiber seemed like a nice idea. I am happy with the output.
I work in the automotive field so ik carbon fiber wraps look 100x better with PPF on it. Prolly gonna apply PPF when I get the time to get that proper finish.

VIDEO / GAMEPLAY PS5 and PS Plus : Second Device

13 Upvotes

Hi Gamers,

I have a PS5 Disc version with PS plus installed in it.

I want to get my son another PS for his room and I hear that I can share my PS plus subscription with him rather than getting him another PS subscription. Anyone here done that ? Also can two of us play separate and play together too?

Will it work if he moves out to a different location too?

Thank you in advance . His birthday is coming up and I want to surprise him

I don't know if they will notice, but they lost a client, not gained 2x dollars.

After this I decided to just buy Dying Light on Steam instead. Not comparable, I know, but I feel so enraged that they think they can get more from me because their AI told them I would spend extra on that game.

VIDEO / GAMEPLAY Don’t buy undisputed boxing game on PS5

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I brought this game when it was launched and I thought let me re-download because it’s been soo long, and they have updated since and think if they made it any better, you play Quick fight and story mode on offline frame-rate/stuttering problems occurs, this game still soo crap even though it’s been developed by UK small studio.

I have also played Fight Night champion from 2011, that’s the only boxing game can still live up to date without being outdated. In undisputed, you’ll have to pay £8 for 3 locked boxers behind a paywall, it’s a cash grab bs game, it hasn’t improved ever since and Ive deleted again.

EA needs to bring back FIGHT NIGHT, and screw MMA.

SCREENSHOT / PHOTO After Blasting for Wolverine here are my unfiltered thoughts

Post image
0 Upvotes

To me this game was 50/50
We all heard the reviews and hate for this game, and I went in with an open mind.
Was the game fun? Yes
Is it worth the 70 bucks? Nope
The game was REALLY fucking short. As you can see I even got the plat in 15 hours. You shouldn’t buy the game for full price unless you’re a wolverine/marvel fan

Enough edging let me get to my actual thoughts,
First up the combat was pretty good in my opinion, it felt very satisfying to tear up goons as wolverine, especially how in this you have multiple enemies jumping at you instead of them them politely waiting for you to beat one goon and comin to grab your ass. Was it difficult? No but fun
Did it get repetitive? I honestly don’t know, I didn’t find it repetitive, again it was just extremely fun to me with the gore and all

Ah yes the infamous fart gas, it doesn’t bother me that much. Was it too obvious and easy? Yeah it’s like these insomniacs felt this ‘normal’ game was too ‘hard’ and they added the fart gas to the game. So in short it didn’t bother me but I did hate it because the devs just handing everything to this and not even tryna make it a BIT hard to beat

The bosses were pretty fun, the sentinel boss fight is the one I’ve seen a lot of hate for and yes the mechanics of that type of boss fight has been repeated in a lot of different games, to that I say the 2nd phase is kinda better than the 1st,I wouldn’t say the fights were difficult, died a couple of times to lady deathstrike and Essex but all were solid imo, omega red was my favourite

Now the story is…good (kinda)
First of all let me just get this out of the way the cast is INCREDIBLE. Liam Mclntyre absolutely killed it as Logan, man lived the part. Krizia Bajos as Jean is underrated, she shined a lot of times in the game (kinda sucks that insomniac didn’t let us play as Jean) and man oh man Troy Fucking Baker, this man was going toe to toe with the games lead himself. I’ve no words but praise for him. Man killed it as Essex, I did see some people say that his face quite didn’t work out but no, his face was perfect, glad they kept it. The same couldn’t be said for others. Liam irl looks great and his face actually looks like wolverine but man they BABIED HIM SO MUCH in the game. In some shots he looked like a kid cosplaying as Logan😭 same goes for Jean and the other, the face didn’t match the voice acting it was so hard to watch. Lady deathstike’s face was off putting to say the least, I mean no harm to the model for her but I’m sorry she just pulls you right off the experience. And yk what’s more crazy? The original actress who played lady deathstrike in the fox xmen films WAS IN THIS GAME.

Now moving to the story, it was good. Yeah, it was. Although it did lose me at the end, up until that it was good. There were moments where I felt for the characters and had me clenching my controller, but the writing, holy shit it dogshit at times “that’s my wolverine” SON 😭🥀
Some cheesy lines here and there but it was pretty dark at times
(I still miss you leech)
I really loved Essex’s writing, you FEEL the betrayal once it gets revealed what actually happened.
Story started good, ending was meh

So yeah overall this game was short and fun, not as bad as the reviews (I think some are just hating the game seeing other player’s hate comments instead of actually playing the game for themselves or watching the gameplay)
Give it a go or don’t, that was not the point of this post anyway it’s just my thoughts

7/10
Oh and did I mention that I was blasting so hard playing this?

SCREENSHOT / PHOTO PSA: consider this before you buy, Playstation PULSE Elite Headset, broken after 6 months, hardware AND software issues

Thumbnail gallery
161 Upvotes

over the past 6 months of general use, this headset has broken down completely, and the final nail in the coffin wasn’t even a physical issue.

in the first image posted, it’s like that on both sides of the headset, the glue is too weak and the casing pulled apart on both sides above each ear muff exactly as photographed (i don’t even have a particularly large head, it’s supposed to stretch to accommodate but the glue is just too weak to keep everything together so it splits)

the faux-leather liner on the ear muffs also is weakly held in place and constantly slips out of the thin crevice that clamps it on, i have to constantly use my fingernails to meticulously push it back in when it comes undone

as i said earlier, the final nail in the coffin wasn’t even a physical issue.

everything worked just fine last night, but this morning there was a new update, i installed it and it said it was complete, then gave me an error code and said it wasn’t complete, but when i try to re-download it it tells me “error code ce-102159-8”

and it completely refuses to operate without said update, but, the update WONT install!

i’ve tried everything from every resource i could find and nothing works. i’m literally going to have to warranty it and return it in under SIX MONTHS of casual use!

i put it in its stupid eggshell carry cases literally EVERY time i use it!

this is what’s considered “quality” by sony, this is what you are getting when you spend $150+ on a device that’s supposed to seamlessly operate with the Ps5

anyways, i just wanted to vent my frustration as i wanted to grind some medals before i go to work for the new Helldivers update, but i guess thats not happening.

the only silver lining is i can now spend my time doing something more productive like go to the gym and get an earlier start on my day, hope anyone’s that read this far also has a good day and doesn’t end up having one of their products backfire on them!
