I've read a few articles that say Sony is planning to end the PS4 by 2025, in an attempt to put all their focus on the PS5. They are apparently slowing games production for the PS4 considerably already. But their plan is to move past the PS4, and go full-steam-ahead with the PS5. While I see this as a logical step from a business perspective, I don't think it will work out the way they want. The PS5 was released 2 years ago, and is still incredibly hard to find. The PS4 didn't suffer the same release issues. I know Covid is a factor here, so I'm forgiving them for that. But the world will still be reeling from the "aftershock" at best by 2025. The retailers are having an almost impossible time getting it. The only current gen system that is widely available is the Xbox Series S. The Series X is in the same boat as the PS5. So like I said, logical from a business perspective, but not a good idea just yet. Until production for the new system is able to go full-steam-ahead again, I don't think plans to discontinue one of their most successful consoles is the way to go. Granted we're talking about the games themselves here, but considering the context of things, they're essentially ending the PS4 all together if they stop releasing games for it. Here is one of the articles I read.

I called it!!!

This first thing I have been able to find out is the the Fortnite Dreamhack Tournament appears to have expired, so I'm afraid that's out. The second thing is I'd advise caution. Legitimate tournaments do often expect players to pay to be a part of the professional associations to pay for tournaments making it very easy to be scammed. I'd never discourage anyone from perusing esports if they're serious about it, but with all due respect the way you have worded you post tells me that you haven't given this much thought. Sometime game companies might host open competitions like Dreamhack, but most of them are made for professionals with capital to invest into thier career either from themselves or from investors and sponsors, and it takes being the absolute best players with a proven record to get there. By all means , keep an eye out for tournaments like Dreamhack in the future and even share them with VGR when you learn about them, but be carful out there.

I would definitely do that as soon as I can , when I saw this thread I actually went on YouTube and watched some streams of the game and now I can't wait to give it a try.

This looks so good, I like the graphics, weapon design and star wars features. I would definitely check it out in my ps4 console as soon as I can.

I'm not going to question anyone's admiration for George R.R. Martin, if that's how you feel then that's how you feel and I'm not going to disrespect that viewpoint from anyone, gut I genuinely do not get where that is coming from. In his entire life, his resume in the game industry reads he co-wrote one game, and that is literally it. And that was a game that only just released in that last few months. Game of Thrones and the books it's based on have no connection to any video game at all. Honestly, that admiration could be placed at the feet of Andrzej Sapkowski (Author of The Witcher series) and it would as much sense, and that's a man who has publicly disrespected video games as medium. True, Gorge R.R. Martin hasn't done that, but he has himself admitted he has no personal relationship with video games and could count the amount he has played on one hand. Sorry @Aniekwe and @Heatman, but it doesn't make sense to admire this man for his "contribution" to video games.

@kingpotato Just wondering have you ever heard of a game called slay the spire, it's supposed to be a card/deck building, rogue like hybrid? I know you like card games so maybe you have heard of it, it's on ps4/xbox one/pc and probably switch aswell. Ign gave it a 9/10 so it must be good, i've been eying it for a while now so i'll probably pick up a copy next time i see it on sale somewhere.

Haha, that's the only word that befits the situation, my lady once forced me to install candy crush on my phone in her words " she doesn't want to get bored whenever she's using my phone " I was so pissed, like what's wrong with your own phone must you play it with mine. 😅🤦

That's true, and it feels weird to me, though I play the game sometime with my female friends but that's only when I am compelled to do so and we just play the games together to keep the mood High.

Hahaha yes you did, I was not expecting that to become a reality.

Not a single vote for Bravely default. Is the game that bad? There's only one way to find out and it's reviews. I'm looking into it and if it's any good, I might give it a run.

I would have the following war simulation games as my top picks ; Sniper Elite 4 Command & Conquer : Red Alert 3 PlanetSide 2 Call of Duty : Black Ops II

Thanks Heatman for the questions : 1) The avatar you mean, there is no real reason behind it as it's just something i found online a couple of years ago and i stuck with it ever since. 2) Losing 7-1 to my girlfriend her 10 year old son in fifa 21 kinda hurted my pride, especially when i was out for revenge afterwards and again i lost again with another couple of heavy defeats but all in all we had fun. 3) One thing i've learned over the years is that there is always somebody better then me in pretty much everithing and to be honest I've never been one to cheat but as far as it counts, One time i got so pissed that i was losing in halo split screen as they all ganged up on me that i just pulled the power cord from the console and that was the end of it in turn i kicked all my buddies out.

Yes, it's definitely an interesting RPG that's very entertaining. The same thing can be said about Chronos: Before the Ashes as well.

My grandfather still plays games even now, although most of his games are board games especially Chess.

YouTube wasn't always a place for streaming, but as the years go on and YouTube have changed to the point that they now offer that. If you stream one of the top row games of all platforms (Fortnite, LoL, etc.) there is no reason you shouldn't be on YouTube. There are a thousand different videos on YT to tell you why so I won't. I mean differnt platform and differnt kind of traffic and people to expect. Twitch is streaming and what ever taffic you get they stick, YouTube doesn't just stick but they offer to all platforms

I spent $24 for Assassin's Creed Valahalla. This is the highest amount I spent in a game all at once.

No Man's Sky with the 255 galaxies the developers had built the game made it too massive that I get to experience a new thing in each play. There's so much to explore in the game that you can't see them all.

If it ever gets to the point where I would have to stand and not sit any longer, it means that I should call it a day with that particular video games. I hate pressure in my life.
