PlayStation 5

Has any of you gotten your hands on a PlayStation 5 yet? If yes, what are you playing on it?

PS5 is scarce where I'm from.  It also doesn't help that it's outrageously overpriced right now.  Though I never planned on buying one.  Free time is currently a luxury that I don't have much.

I can't really say that I never will buy one. I have a 9 year old son who loves to play games. He has a PS4 that I bought for him last year. 

I honestly wouldn't buy one for myself for the fact that between my kids and me pursuing a new personal life. I don't have that kind of time. I could do it if I chose to. But I chose to do something else differently.

Now my brother pre-ordered his PlayStation 5 and an extra controller for his wife. However I haven't talked to him about what they play. I mainly don't talk to him because we don't get along very well because he causes problems.

I'm sorry. Why is that? 

Do you work more than one career?

Then I'm glad that I have Daughters as I don't need to compete with them with the consoles 😁.  But we do compete over who watches TV.  But then again, I usually give way to them.  And I don't want to get another TV for their room otherwise they won't come out of there.

Not really, aside from my work, when I'm at home, I usually need to take care of the household stuff.  Right now, I'm renovating a room into a small office where the kids can do their online classes.  It was supposed to be my game room which I didn't have the time to completely furnish.  But then the pandemic hit and you know how it goes.  Being in line of work I'm in, I'm usually the Handyman at home.  The free time I have I usually cook and read.  I do manage to sneak in a few mobile gaming that satisfies my gaming needs.

But we're getting off topic.  For console games, my cup of tea are simulation and old fashioned RPG, the likes of Super Robot Wars and Final Fantasy.  Though the last main Final Fantasy I played was FFX.  I'm mostly interested if there are any Super Robot Wars games coming to the PS5.  I know I've missed a lot of iterations, but maybe there's this one game that would lure me back to console gaming, like how Symphony of the Night convinced me to get a PS one XX years ago.

Yeah. If I got a PS5. I'd get one to play the next chapter of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake. I played the one on PS4 that released last year and it was amazing. I maxed everyone out and just had a good time. I'm hoping over all though that they'll have some really heavy hits coming out on the PS5. They have some games that I'm interested in for this console.
