"What are you playing this week?" and Pre-release discussion post for upcoming PlayStation Hardware (2023.11.10) (lemmy.world)

Happy Friday everyone!

This past week I've put some real work on to GoW: Ragnarok. I'm about 2/3rds of the way through. I have to admit, I found the first 1/3 a bit slow and somewhat aimless. There didn't seem to be a huge driver behind the story, almost like they had to lay a lot of initial exposition in order to justify and build toward where I am now. Not sure if it'll pay off but things are ramping up and I feel more engaged. Lots of awesome boss fights also help. Really great designs here, and the combat options have expanded enough that I feel in the zone.

After that I am looking forward to starting Spider-man 2. I can't wait!

I also wanted to include a bit of pre-discussion here about the new upcoming PS hardware now that they are all available for purchase/preorder:

  • PlayStation 5 Slim Console
  • PlayStation Portal Remote Player
  • PlayStation Explore Earbuds
  • PlayStation Elite Headphones
  • PlayStation Access Controller

What new hardware are you interested in? What are your use cases for each?

  • Upgrading to a Slim?
  • Planning to use the Access controller to accommodate a disability, or even for younger kids, or even linking it to an existing DualSense for some single-player coop?
  • Kids taking over the TV and you are excited to game on the Portal in the bathroom, bedroom, or out on your patio with the sunrise and a cup of coffee or tea?
  • What about the new planar magnetic drivers in the new Headphones/Earbuds? Where are the audiophiles at?
  • Thoughts on the PlayStation Link protocol in general?

Whatever it is, Let us know!

Special Note:

  • I know that the Portal in particular is quite divisive, so while you all are free to express your opinions on the matter, please refrain from beating a dead horse if you decide to express a negative opinion. In some other forums people feel the need to reply to everyone in a thread to express and spread negativity in order to convince people it's bad. Just keep in mind that some people are excited for these devices and have legitimate use cases. With that in mind, I will not take any action to make this place an echo chamber unless it veers into personal attacks or toxicity. So if you hate it, hate away and tell us why. Just keep it civil and remember to have fun.

I loved my Arctis 7p+, but a slight "accident" at home broke it... I didn't know it did bluetooth though, or maybe 7p+ didn't have it, not sure, and can't check now. 😢

I have both the 7p and the new 7 wireless. The P did not have Bluetooth. Only the new 7 wireless with the USBC dongle has Bluetooth. I know because that's why I bought it lol.

I use the 7p dedicated to my PC and now I use the 7 wireless with my PS5 and for travel.

Ah, makes sense. Maybe I should get the new 7 wireless, there might be some black Friday sale coming up.
