I don't expect many, if anyone here to remember me (I barely post these days), but I've always been what you'd call a 'green rat' here, a PC gamer and Nintendo fanboy. I looked at getting a Playstation 4 and then 5 over the years, usually because one particular game took my fancy. But I always handwaved it saying I'm not buying a Playstation for one game. Well last week I realised that one game had grown into quite a list, so I bought my first ever Playstation! I used to 'borrow' my brother's PS1 to play games like Silent Hill, Resident Evil, MGS and Die Hard, but never owned one myself.
So yeah, I'm now in the PS club, and I have some catching up to do! PS+ has been a great start to try some of the games I missed out on. I've got Helldivers and I'll be picking up Stellar Blade today. One of the things always putting me off Playstation was the controller, and having put a few hours in, it's still a concern. The thumbstick placement will take a lot of getting used to, as well as remembering which button is which lol.
But the positives... Wow! The polish and quality of first party Playstation games/exclusives is something that Xbox really struggles to match. Yeah I'm a green rat but you'd have to be completely delusional to not see the difference. I've barely scratched the surface but I sit there playing Ratchet and Clank or Ghosts of Tsushima thinking, holy shit, why can't Xbox have games that look and feel this good? The fidelity is on another level. And going back to the controller, what Sony did with the trigger feedback is superb and makes the Xbox trigger rumble look dumb.
So yeah, looking forward to catching up on a decade of games, and mildly regretting not doing so sooner. Give me your suggestions!
But I'm still a green rat. Honest.
