General Discussion AA battery powered controller

0 Upvotes

Honesty surprised at the fact that there are no AA battery powered options for the PS4 controller. Genuinely one of the major things Xbox has over Playstation. What are your guys thought? Better with a factory installed battery or does AA have the advantage. Do y'all prefer the stock Li-ion battery?

-_- reddit really thinks this is an Ai script?

General Discussion Christmas present for a 9 year old?

48 Upvotes

Hi All! I am looking to see what the thoughts are on getting a ps4 slim for my 9 year old son for xmas. We dont have the money for a ps5, but have the money for a ps4 slim.

He mostly likes to play fortnite, but I really want him to try and get into other games. We don't have super fancy TVs (amazon powered insignia tvs), so we dont have to worry about graphics being super good. We currently play fortnite on amazon luna.

Just looking to get thoughts. Thanks, I def appreciate any help!

**Thank you all soo much for the responses. My last console was a 360, so I am definitely way behind the times. Thank you for the help! **

Game Discussion DAYS GONE. Holy, what a game.

950 Upvotes

So, the other day I couldn't decide between Days Gone and Ghost of Tsushima. And I ended up buying both. I wanted a bit of zombie survival cause I missed Joel and Ellie. Anyway, I had kept my expectations restricted because yk, the usual criticism regarding it being a 'flop'.

And holy HELL, I didn't expect THIS. Like the game is extremely grounded, story felt very real. Mechanics were gritty as hell. Graphics hold up EXTREMELY well. Yes it's a slow burn. Yes, it's tense. But if everyone can hype RDR2 (I love it too) why not Days Gone as well?

Driving the bike felt absolutely realistic, and those 'gamers' who bullshit it for not having enough fuel at the start, homies, I ran out of fuel only TWICE, throughout the entire game, which I took forty hours to finish.

And lastly, oh boy, the hordes. Insane. The first time, when I went out hunting for some deer skin, it started with a few zombies, and a whole ass army of them was on my ass. It was night. I was running along with the deers. I had low fuel so couldn't accelerate much. Just imagine the tension. I don't think any other game made me as immersed in the world as this boy did.

But, in any case, Days Gone is probably the best game, (along with rdr2) that ive ever played on my ps4.

And yeah, I ended up just not liking Ghost of Tsushima at all and stopped playing after a few hours. The characters lowk talk like robots and its the same old bluff about honor. Maybe I'll give it a try some time later again.

Project Nimbus is the story of two superpowers at war with each other for limited resources due to the planet being ravaged by constant wars. The gameplay is a mix of Ace Combat elements with Armored core. Initially, this was a Kickstarter project developed by GameCrafterTeam with the co developer being GameToro. GameToro also took over the publishing for the game. It was released in 2017 for the Playstation 4, Nintendo Switch, and Steam.

Game Discussion Why are story-driven games so addictive?

115 Upvotes

I’ve recently started spending more time gaming on my PS5, and I’m genuinely enjoying it.
Started with Spider-Man, then got into Red Dead Redemption 2, Hogwarts Legacy and Hitman.
One thing I’ve realised is that I enjoy games with a strong storyline, interesting characters and good cutscenes more than just exploring an open world.
I’ve also started recording some of my gameplay, mostly for fun and to look back at my progress.
Curious what everyone else thinks: which story-driven PlayStation game completely hooked you from the beginning?
Would love some recommendations for what to play next.

Game Discussion Sherlock Holmes - Absolute Deduction bundle

4 Upvotes

Just saw this bundle on the PS store for $12 and wondered if anyone has played what’s in it and can tell me about their experience. It includes:

- The Sinking City
- Sherlock Holmes - Chapter One
- Sherlock Holmes - The Devil’s Daughter
- Sherlock Holmes - Crimes and Punishments

I don’t know much about the Sinking City and have never played a Sherlock Holmes game. What could I expect?

Opinion / Speculation Feeling like I am slow and unable to be good at shooting games while using a controller?

12 Upvotes

I bought a ps4 pro about a year ago and it's my first one ever. I tried updates,increasing game sensitivity yet whatever I play whenever I play feels like absolute pain. I would eat up aim and shooting games on both pc and mobile yet I tried adjusting and waiting out my begginer phase yet I can't get used to this. Am I doing something wrong or am I just bad? It's pissing me off and making me want to stop playing forever. I feel like Im playing in slow motion while my enemies(both npc or real) are sonic.
