Love my PS4

Submitted ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩ by ⁨verycoolusername@lemm.ee⁩ to ⁨patientgamers@sh.itjust.works⁩

This is a little love letter to my PS4. I bought it refurbished three years ago for a little bit more than 120 bucks. This was my first Sony device! I already had an Xbox 360 from 2013 and a Switch from 2017. My first game was Detroit: Become Human. What an experience! I played the Uncharted series for the first time. Then The Last of Us 1 and 2. I thought I was a grumpy old gamer but man, TLoU is something else And then I got PSVR! So many crazy night playing Beat Saber, Skyrim VR and Superhot VR. I love being a patient gamer. And I love my PS4. I still have so many games to play through and it just keeps on chugging.

The PS4 is my main gaming device, I just can’t afford anything else, but if I could I would get a PS5 or a Steam Deck (I’m pretty sure a revision is in order for both consoles lol, that is why I am even more stalled).

I am currently playing Batman Arkham Knight and what a game!

It is a shame that this franchise took another route with the next game, it really doesn’t seem like a 2015 game, and I don’t even have the PS4 Pro which might have some perks for these kinds of games, mine is the slim model.

I bought a PS4 pretty late myself and it’s been such a great console. So many titles that feel cinematic and broad. Death Stranding got mixed reception but it’s such a vast and detailed game. I love getting lost in PS4 titles.

TLOU was such a beautifully brutal experience. I love hearing stories from fellow gamers experiencing such great games for the first time.

  I used to wait until consoles started breaking and refurbish them. I got my ps4 pretty early that way. A dude had cockroaches and they fried they power supply. He gave it to me, I put it in several bags and left it in a hot car to kill the bugs, then replaced the power supply and cleaned it out.
  
  I gave it to my niece a few years ago and she’s still playing it every day.
  
  The new ones seem to be holding up. No one has brought me one. Maybe people are just getting better with tech.

    You are quite the champ to willingly deal with bugs in electronics! What you did helped reduce e-waste though and enriched your niece’s gaming experience. Well done.
    
    Similarly, I found an old original Xbox in our closet one day (it belonged to my wife’s ex and he left it behind). I dug it out, cleaned it up a bit, soft-modded it, and now I can play games from both the hard drive and some old games I bought for dirt cheap. Stuff like Doom 3, Far Cry, Streets of LA, etc.

Uncharted

That's still a series I've yet to start but I'm sure I'll love them.

The PS4 in our house has slowly lost favour to Xbox with everyone. I still keep it set up though for the exclusives though.
