customised the play station for the nostalgic feel of it i do prefer how it looks like now.

Replaced the buttons on a black controller with retro ones i got from aliexpress wasn't so hard, but was a bit stressful with the ribbons inside very doable but take your time with it.

The middle skin from amazon to match dark plates i thought it was damaged because it had creases due to shipping but it looks fine. sticker from aliexpress as well.
Sanded down a PS home button and used double tape to attach ( technically can rotate lol ) very happy with the results , and wanted to share.

My daughter is 5 and this is our first big game together after playing Animal Crossing off and on. We spent a lot of time collecting all of the bots and puzzle pieces... And as we finished fighting the last boss and started fixing Astro Bot, she started crying. She was so full of emotion and said they were happy tears. I'm so glad we had that experience together and I'll never forget it. I hope she won't either. 😊

Anybody else have any experiences like this with their children?

I have finally bit the bullet & after years of saving through multiple jobs. I finally got my first Playstation with my own hard-earned money. I wish my dad was around to see this

I am quite late to the party I know...I am fully aware

Any advice / tips / game recommendations would be greatly appreciated. I am on PS+ Extra

Astro's playroom is amazing!

Having multiplayer trophies in the list puts the platinum in a pay to get position since you have to get ps+ to even play.Instead it should be like the dlc trophies are handled with the exception of games that are multiplayer only,this way even if the server goes down one day and you can't play online you also would still be able to play it if you want to

I don't remember seeing these at these prices before.

Edit: To find the discount for Death Stranding, click on the three dots and select the Director’s Cut Digital Deluxe Edition.

For Robocop, select the Alex Murphy Edition.

So after the whole gta 6 spree has gone (maybe) or for people that just aren’t interested in gta what games are you looking to for 2027?

For me I’m keeping close eye on stranger than heaven, persona 4 revival and god of war Laufey probs only get 1 of them but these are my 3 unless Capcom come with monster hunter ascendance in that time frame

Metallic umbrella ☔ looks insanely peak weapon and the transformation aura farming

(No really) these are crazy times we are living in folks...

Does anybody know when the update is supposed to hit the playstation side of things?

I have just completed Control: Resonant today and would start AC: Black Flag Resynced.

I have some money stored to buy a game (other than GTA 6). I'm not able to decide between the following:

1. Silent Hill F

2. SIlent Hill Townfall

3. Pragmata

4. The Blood of Dawnwalker

5. GOW Laufey PreOrder

6. FC 27 (not really something i wanna buy this year)

The only Silent Hill I've played is the SH2: Remake. Otherwise i do like horror and have played I think the complete RE series.

Similarly, I've played the Remedyverse games too.

What do you guys suggest? Any games i can play and finish up in 2 weeks before GTA6 comes out?

I'm positive AC: BF will be done by the first week of November so i would have just enough time to squeeze in one more game!!

I'm not very much into games top-down camera angles, turn-based combat, retro platformers and massive RPGs. (Don't hate them, just not my preference)

Hope to hear your suggestions good sirs and madames 😊

I've just finished the Platinum for Metro: Last Light Redux, and I have some thoughts I'd like to share with you guys.

The first and most obvious thing I want to talk about is the length of the game. It took me around 33 hours to get the Platinum, which is technically less time than it took me to complete Metro 2033 Redux. However, part of that was because I was already prepared for certain conditional trophies and knew what to expect from the DLC missions.

But if we're talking about the main storyline, this game felt considerably longer than the first one. Do note that when I say it's long compared to the first game, I don't necessarily mean that as a criticism. Personally, I think that's great, especially for an FPS title.

After playing the first game and jumping straight into this one, I genuinely felt like the developers took everything from the previous game and dialled it up a notch. The above-ground missions and levels felt really nice and immersive, especially in terms of the story and atmosphere. The previous game had above-ground sections too, but not to this extent, and I really enjoyed the change in scenery.

Coming to the mutants, though, I'm a little disappointed with the developers for not introducing more new species of mutants or monsters. There were one or two different types that you encounter, but they felt more like boss fights in confined arenas. You fight them, the encounter ends, and that's pretty much it. I would have loved to see more of these creatures throughout the game instead of having them appear only for specific encounters.

I originally fell in love with the first game because of its pacing and storyline. Thankfully, the story and pacing in Last Light felt good overall and lived up to my expectations. However, there were one or two sections where I felt like the mission existed primarily to extend the game's runtime. These moments didn't ruin the experience for me, but they were noticeable.

Overall, getting the Platinum for Metro: Last Light Redux was a really enjoyable experience and a breath of fresh air. I'd comfortably call this game a worthy successor to Metro 2033 Redux. It builds upon what made the first game enjoyable while giving you more time to explore its world and story.

My personal rating for this game would be a solid 8/10.

I know I gave Metro 2033 Redux the same score, and honestly, I was initially leaning towards an 8.5 or even a 9 for Last Light. However, during my final Platinum playthrough, I ran into quite a few bugs and glitches that forced me to restart several missions from the very beginning. That definitely affected my overall experience and stopped me from giving it a higher score.

Now, it's time to move on to Metro Exodus! Hopefully, I can finish at least one playthrough before GTA VI launches.

My alternative setup to the more common white, vertical version. What do you think? The cover plates are original Sony parts, and the stand was 3D-printed by a friend.
