I Spent $1200 on a Console with No Games - Caddicarus

[Music] taking my pills so that i don't murder you taking my pill so that i don't murder you taking my pills so that i don't murder you taking my pills so that i don't murder you have you had your pills yes so i won't murder you who me yes you well that's brilliant because it's nearly christmas and i have way too much to do today what's that smell oh no what what happened i took the wrong pills [Music] oh dear i think i'm about to i i think i'm about i think i'm about to please not on the carpet i think it's happening i can feel it coming oh oh no god please help me stop oh would you look at that somebody's at the back door i wonder who it could be oh you again come on it's nearly christmas you can't just barge into my life uninvited lock me inside my house for eight months get married to me leave suddenly after our honeymoon and then expect me to welcome you back with open arms i moved on say hi honey hello and it won't be too long before you're gone forever and everybody will be happy to see you fall down oh god no i'm sorry i didn't mean that no i'm sorry look i'm just fed up with this year it's been hard come on don't go come back please we had a baby speaking of bricks i should really get to ordering my ps5 [Music] well this is going to be a sad and lonely christmas this year isn't it [Music] sony huge cheeky little fans seriously these things were impossible to find weren't they so i consider myself extremely lucky that playstation themselves looked at smelly old caddy and gave one to me thank you so much it means the world to me i love this thing so much i could just give it a big old cattle [Music] i can't believe there are five [ __ ] in here so yes it's finally here the ps5 and before we begin looking at it can i just say that this is the biggest lolloping oaf i've ever seen this thing is massive it's easily the biggest console i've ever owned and just look at it on my tv stand mario is getting suffocated and the wii u already didn't stand a chance but now it might as well just give up now i do know that i was sent to ps5 because i just said it weren't you listening but regardless of such i can't use that to bias myself towards how i feel about this great lump of scaffolding i mean i didn't go easy on the playstation classic despite being sent one and as soon as the system loads up the main menu it crashes into a brick wall to piss off mars now and i won't let their generosity towards me cloud what i'm going to say in this video because i am fully aware how much this all costs i should know because i was right there day one on the pre-orders and i put all my money down the second i could then playstation very kindly reached out to me a week later and asked if i would like one to which i said oh yes please but you could have told me before i wasted two months worth of my family's food and then that's what got me thinking about a potential video because for as fun or as impressive as this technology is when i put my money down for it it still initially costed me 893 pounds and 90 p to get it that's roughly the same as 1 200 christ santa might forget a couple of gifts this year won't he and that's not all at the time of filming this video i still haven't got my money back on the original pre-order i made for this system so even though i did eventually get a free ps5 and a couple of games in the form of review copies at this moment in time i've still technically paid for all of it what i'm getting at is that this is not cheap it's easily the most amount of money i've ever spent in my life on a console before so all i can do is plonk myself here stare at my sad reflection through the tv screen and think to myself is this even worth it so this video today aims to answer that question is there enough brand new stuff here to warrant running down a grandparent in the shops for not including repackaged games from previous systems like devil may cry 5 special edition well let's begin with what you get in the box with the standard pinky sniff 5. but i've only got two here is the box it is a box and standing there proudly on the left-hand side of it is ah my missing school folder so let's take a look at what we've got here we have a hdr compatibility and fork good good good and we can go up to 8k i didn't even know that existed what do you think that will look like what's the point isn't 4k high enough why do you need double 4k this is stupid ps5 is stupid don't buy it after this you're gonna want to try and get the thing out of its cage but once it's free make sure to give it plenty of sunlight and free range eggs before deciding where you're going to put it you can have it sideways like mine or have it standing vertically but whatever you do don't make the first mistake i did and completely miss the console stand that's hiding in the box if you don't attach that and lay the ps5 down you'll turn it into a functioning seesaw and if you decide to stand it up without attaching the stand you'll be blocking off some of the vents that prevent the console from overheating which if you aren't careful may lead to this you also get yourself the beautiful and comfortable dual sense controller and that is it that is all you get with the ps5 out of the box when i pre-ordered i couldn't see any bundles with games or bundles with accessories which is 450 pounds immediately gone what is this the video game industry as for the optional stuff i managed to pre-order though i grabbed myself a controller charging dock that is basically a tiny little ps5 it's very cute a usb camera for sony to watch you disappoint jesus on the sofa and a second controller for all of the games that have no two players it's not all bleak though to be fair because since i got the disc model i'm at least able to play my physical disc ps4 games and even download a few of them directly from my psn account plus if you have a ps plus account for plus online play plus you can even jump start your backlog of last gen games you missed by downloading a huge collection of some of ps4's greatest hits for no extra cost from ratchet and clank to bloodborne i mean sure you're gonna have to pay for a ps plus account if you don't already have a ps plus account which you then have to tally on top of the value of the console meaning you could be spending up to a good 500 quid before you even turn the thing on and yeah that's for playing online but it's also for the sake of playing a load of ps4 games when you probably own all of the games and the ps4 console to play them on in the first place but don't worry it's okay because for your consumer loyalty you don't only get all of the old ps4 games on ps plus but you also get given one brand new free game to go with your ps5 at launch gee thanks soyne and that new game that came with my ps plus online subscription right out the gate was bang sniff yeah it's time to jump into the games now but i should preface that because there's a lot to get through here and i have to get this video done before 2023 i'm only gonna give all of these games around two hours of my time each so consider all of these first impressions bug snacks was made by young horses who you may remember from octodad deadliest daddy so how do you follow on from a game about an octopus who's convinced the whole world he's a human well naturally with a game about strawberries carrots and hot dogs with googly eyes and anuses on their faces yup nothing out of the ordinary here just your average game about a man with sock puppet hands made out of meat trying to trap and collect as many adorable fruits vegetables and junk foods as possible that just so happen to be alive and even if you're not too sold on the premise here i'm convinced that at least one of these little critters you see will make you go oh my god personally i find all of these creatures very endearing and i find it more fascinating just watching them all dibble around when actually solving some of the deviously interesting logic puzzles in order to catch them i mean look at this thing look at it i wish you were my child this one is broken and i want my money back and by the way i think we need to correct the bible because it was obviously bunga who died for our sins so you're playing the game running around this unique little land of fuzzy muppets with names like wambus and clumby and you're really enjoying seeing all of the precious and creative little snack monsters walking around you scan them you take pictures of them you catch them you want to give them all a kissy wissy on the lippy dippy you're having a whale of a jolly old time and then you take your discoveries over to your friends to show them where they decide to consume them and then the animals grow out of their limbs like tumors what yeah if you couldn't tell by the name bug snacks isn't just about seeing and collecting cute little creatures they are indeed based on foods for a reason you have to eat them and when one eats a bug snack they trade a portion of their soul to forever morph a random part of the body into the very thing they just ate taking the phrase you are what you eat a little too literally and turning this kid-friendly easy-going adventure into a mix of pokemon ape escape and silent hill i'm serious take the charming little mask off of this and you're left with a disturbing greasy fetish game where living beings get vawed and then growth while everyone smiles and winks at you y'all just get along now i'll catch it that's not all i feel like this entire universe is some kind of shorthand euphemism to a demographic who probably doesn't wash this lady here befeker has a second name that is basically just slang for doc knows the first character you meet nearly has the first name of a naughty toy and if you rearrange the letters of his second name you end up with then if i'm not busy turning the residents of this screwed up little cult into lady gaga i'm given a story where i'm told they ain't animals and they ain't plants no organs no seeds nothing and you have to eat them raw or they turn to mush that i swear man this is an unintentional horror game i'm getting chills i even discovered this part right here where wambas won't stop talking about how much he misses his wife but then after going to his house to rummage around illegally i discovered that he has a cactus that he dresses up exactly like his wife that is right next to his bed which is right next to the front door wambus doesn't only love getting prickles and scabs between his legs he's also proud of it and wants the entire town to see him do it this game is for kids and we have an exhibitionist nobody's figured out how bug snacks reproduce but i got an idea i'm gonna ram my dick and a cactus and gross on myself i'm quitting this game forever i feel all sticky just looking at it oh my god what is that well so far i've been scarred for life and only cost me 500 pounds so thank you playstation what else have you got for me to nibble on huh what's this here astros playroom it comes pre-downloaded with every console for absolutely nothing okay cool well it may be nothing more than a tech demo but as prince andrew once said i can't say no to a free go in a play room so here we are astros playroom or as i like to call it jeff bezos simulator how dare you take a toilet break on your shift get back to work astro has sort of become a mascot for playstation as of late but not a mascot for the company i mean more the playstation console tech itself i have never heard of a hardware mascot before aside from these handsome young chaps on graphics card packaging but whenever playstation have a new console or a new piece of tech for a console astro is usually front and center to promote it because he apparently lives inside it and i'm okay with that because just look at him he's so cute i could be all over it this here is a short but sweet collect-a-thon platforming game in which you explore the worlds that exist within the ps5 console itself there's a world inside the graphics processor a world inside the cooling system a world inside the solid state drive you get the idea and there's not really that much to it you explore fight enemies occasionally find secrets and jump all over the damn place like a little lamb running from the farmer's shotgun most importantly though this game will make you point and laugh excitedly at the screen with great enthusiasm while making noises like because of the dozens and dozens and dozens of references they included joe please stop scaring me look ellie i just think that the last of us two is a fine game but just not worth game of the year astro's playroom is essentially a massive dump of fan service and celebration over the playstation brand and how far it has come since 1994. if the entire point of this game was to reinforce to you why buying a ps5 was a good idea then it does its job so damn well in that department you often forget that you're playing a tech demo disguised as a simple platformer to be honest because there's just so much to absorb with references and background details to playstation exclusives everywhere more subtle and hidden easter eggs to other games associated with sony details that are very easy to completely miss like with character idle animations and names of trophies and even references to franchises i never thought they'd ever mention again rage racer remember that one sure this is basically all just look at me look at me and a load of indulgent self-flagellation from playstation about their own console i mean come on this is pushing it a bit far don't you think oh my god man stop it you don't need to hump the [ __ ] thing dad can we please move i don't want to watch this anymore but the start of astros playroom isn't astro or the references or the gorgeous visuals or even the gameplay it's the dual sense controller itself seeing as this is indeed a tech demo game astro doesn't only go out of its way to show you how smoothly it can run beautiful looking games and how fast they can load while sounding practically silent in your living room so i'm playing a pretty graphically intense game right now as you can see i've muted the tv so you can't hear the game and it is not making a sound like no sound at all it is it is a quiet little king but also demonstrates how awesome the controller itself is with its incredibly realistic vibration technology even rivaling nintendo's joy-con hd rumble and the adaptive triggers the triggers of which are so cool it even makes the controller testing screen a fun time yeah what do i mean by this though well basically 80 of the time the triggers of this thing feel like any other regular controller triggers you know loose but springy however every so often depending on what you do in different games each individual trigger provides you unique levels of stiffness vibration and resistance using tiny little motors and magic it's very hard to explain without you feeling it happen yourself but trust me when i say it's one of the coolest things about the system holding and pointing a laser activating rocket boosters using a camera shutter gripping a plastic ball until you pop it open it actually feels like you're doing these things with your fingers thanks to the triggers and that isn't all that this controller can do the touchpad returns from the ps4 dualshock controller which means i can make it say and of course there's the gyro motion controls that can be flipped entirely around without anything going wrong minus a few thousand dead little men living in the controller when you mix all of this extensive testing and usage of all the ps5 features into a simple but damn good collect-a-thon platformer and then fill it to bursting full of nostalgic callbacks you end up with one of the best ps5 games you can get so far yes i'm being serious and it comes with the console my love for this game is deeper than loch ness and there's a monster living in it in fact while recording i did not want to stop playing this game and i got a bit lost in this lovely little console world but i really want to save my reactions for whatever else this game has hiding in it on a stream or something so goodbye astro for now and let's start moving on to the heavy hitters the big boy video games that i managed to pre-order that should hopefully keep me entertained throughout the holidays and what better way to start off than with spider-man miles more rails despite this game sounding like a spin-off miles morales is actually a full-length content-packed sequel to the original spider-man playstation 4 exclusive that came out not too long ago brought to us by the same team behind the original spyro and ratchet and clank starring every single white gaming youtuber mixed into a pace and appropriately enough it all takes place at christmas time may we quickly what's this christmas present it's a ps5 i stuck a poor family to the ceiling just to skip the cube and oh my goodness what a sequel this is fine i'm not the biggest fan of the character interactions this time compared to the first game and fine this is very straightforward in terms of the story this isn't exactly as complex as a movie from quentin tarantula but it has everything it needs for a next-gen sequel and for a fantastic spider-man game in general you've got the same impressively fluent and endless possibility combat system but with even more toys to play with and way more ways to attack with those mind-blowing animations you've got the returning beautifully rich and bustling new york city playground but with everything loading so much faster and you've got the same slick and non-stop pace but with everything running silky buttery smooth and this is even more impressive to me because much like the original spider-man on ps4 mars morales looks visually stunning but it's even more spectacular now it's running perfectly at 60 frames per second and after just over 90 minutes of slinging around the city catching speed and boosting my momentum while the breathtaking sun gleamed in my eyes it left me feeling like where did my nipples go i mean even the snowflakes fall and melt individually on everyone's outfits that's when i knew this was something special and i'm at least glad to see the razor sharp sense of humor and slapstick timing from combat moments are just as tight as they were in the original thank you you're welcome mars morales is everything that made the first spider-man game brilliant but now it's even more brilliant and i'm thrilled to say that well except for the first spider suit you get i really hate that neck i can't help but think that's his flappy neck skin it looks like the shaft of an old man and i would love to play this game a little bit more for this video but unfortunately i started a quest from my mother to open the front door to my house when the game bugged out and absolutely refused to let me leave the kitchen i am stuck staring at my mother's bum while unable to step back away and walk to the front door why is miles okay with this miles can you get the door yes i'm trying mami but you lock me in the kitchen why don't you get it aside from that weird problem i had though i still think you should get this game as soon as you can because you get to see spider-man's banana layer in 4k oh god oh no action stations everybody my house is coming down the supporting beam has collapsed next up i got myself godfall the game about gods that fall that was a great game and then we get uncut scene introducing us to the story and the audio is completely out of sync with the pictures it turns out that this game was published by gearbox so if you thought for a moment that gearbox would have their name attached to a stable game it was all a lie sorry sorry i'm being horrible the game was fine for me after that but if there's anything i think you should definitely fix it's the title because it should be called god fall asleep this game bored me i'm sorry to say and that sucks because there's so much here i absolutely love the controls are tight the dual sense trigger effects and dynamic vibration feel extra crunchy and once again the game looks wonderful and loads obscenely quickly not to mention the performance 60 frames per second flawlessly again but none of this really matters when you're thrown into a bland world where everyone has names like orange the characters deliver their lines like supermarket cashiers and the point of the game is you need to get stronger in order to stop your evil brother who you used to love but now he's evil and he's too powerful and then you get the gameplay and oh boy for an action combat rpg the combat is remarkably game breaking right from the star and not very interesting your combos feel absolutely endless there's no stamina bar to punish you for spam attacking or spam dodging the timing window for shield parrying is way too generous most of the enemies are consistently staggered by constant quick light attacks allowing for easy room clearouts and the more abilities you unlock and get to play with the easier it gets i played god 4 for just over two and a half hours and i only healed manually one single time not only because of how simple it is to overpower your enemies but because all the enemies drop so many health pickups that you'll only find yourself low on health during boss encounters which also drop health during the fight and no mere using a higher than average damage pre-order weapon doesn't make a difference to how the combat works because i was having all of the exact same issues even with the weak starting weapons at the very beginning of the game for about 45 minutes it feels like godfall is trying to be like neo but the odds are stacked so highly in your favor that you'll be able to power your way through missions without really thinking about it using high power and low power attacks to your heart's content i mean even during the parry lesson 45 minutes into the game i didn't even need to parry because the dude would not hit me if i just stepped to the side it got so bland that as soon as the second mission began i switched to hard mode and even then i still didn't struggle or if i did run into an enemy slightly more complex than the rest i still wasn't massively thinking about how best to approach them because they all go down in the same way oh and what about that awful lock on camera you know the one that doesn't make it clear at all if you're even locked onto an enemy and doesn't actually move the camera's focus around your body for the best viewpoint of the enemy and that can't switch targets with the right stick while you're locked on in group situations which 90 of my fights were this all makes the lock-on practically worthless meaning you have to swap your right thumb between dodging and turning the camera all the time which is not exactly ideal and what about the other half of the game the looting sure i gotta admit i do like the idea of finding new gear and seeing how it stacks up to your current gear it's very borderlands-ish but when you're jumping from the stupid fast pace of the combat to the running around blank empty spaces making sure you smash absolutely every single item in each room before moving on and then stopping and waiting for the items to hit the floor otherwise you won't pick them up properly you'll quickly see how at odds these two major mechanics are with each other crafting upgrades and finding items is a big part of godfall so you will need to do this slow samey smashing up exploration as often as you can and by the way who decided that the shield throwing move needed a cool down because when you're trying to hit switches from a distance and you miss you need to wait around 20 seconds to try again oh oops need to wait and try again oh oops need to wait and try again oh oops need to wait and try again oh my god sorry i feel like i'm being unfairly harsh with godfall i mean like i said i'm only really getting first impressions here and i would not say that this is a bad game in the slightest just boring uninteresting and samey with a broken combat system i don't know maybe it becomes the game of the year if i give it a little bit more than two and a half hours but honestly i'd rather try something else and that makes me pretty sad because i'll never see what happened to high lord fellaini i even managed to get a review from a friend of mine that works in video game retail after i told him i accidentally ordered the game twice yeah ps5 orders have been a complete shambles and after i told him about this he replied apparently you shouldn't even want one copy so thank you so much for doing your job properly and selling this game to the public now why don't we go from one extreme to the next overcooked all-you-can-eat addition i had never heard of this series before until now so at first i thought it was a baby game for babies i'm a little short and stout here is my handle here is my handle but then i saw this giant meatball with teeth and spaghetti hands and realized it wasn't a baby game at all now this is not the kind of game i would usually play for multiple reasons firstly for how it looks and secondly because it turns out this is just a repackaged group of remastered games that already exist on other systems so i don't count it as a new game available at launch i didn't realize that when i bought this game because i'd never heard of the series before and i'll make an exception this one time because there weren't too many games i was able to pre-order and i needed something to play on this godforsaken bulk so i put my money down straight away after which i very kindly got given a review code for it in the not so distant future the world is burning to the ground and all life as we know it has ended but how do we fix such a catastrophe isn't it obvious by making a load of tomato lettuce salads and then going back in time to 1993 in order to become the best chef ever and even though i just started i am well on my way because all of my meals get served up cold as for the game itself oh i wasn't massive on this one to be honest i mean it's fine but boy does it drag overcooked is an action puzzle game where by controlling two chefs and swapping between them when appropriate you need to fulfill food orders by grabbing the correct ingredients taking them to chopping boards if needed popping them into a boiling pot if needed and then mixing all the correct ingredients onto a plate ready to serve there's a decent amount of brain power that goes into it as you need to multitask swap chefs at the best times usually when another chef is locked into a timed chopping or dish washing animation manage your boiling pots before they catch fire and of course remember what needs prepping what needs to be plated raw and what you need to do in advance to best manage your time to serve as many meals as possible because you need to do everything yourself including serving the place it sounds like a lot is going on and initially there is but once you get the grip of things it becomes way too repetitive for me to bother as soon as you get the correct rhythm and figure out the best orders of things to do for each chef while the other one is busy you end up just doing the same method over and over again until the time limit is up not helping matters is how you plod along like pooh pants patterson it's weird overcooked somehow manages to mix stressful and slow at the same time maybe slow isn't the right word restrictive perhaps there's a ton of standing around and only being able to do one thing at a time and failing orders because you can't physically do everything with one chef at a time but then again i reckon this is because i'm not playing the game in co-op it's clearly designed to be best enjoyed with at least two people so hey that's at least one game we've got for the spare controller but still even with two people i don't think it makes overcooked any more special it's pretty unremarkable not bad but not particularly good either at least overcooked two has zombie bread in it and they're called the unbred sac boy a big adventure another game i pre-ordered yet unluckily for me ended up with a review code afterwards so let's give this a go instead no no no no no yeah yeah yeah yeah originally debuting on the ps3 in the classic little big planet at this point i'm sure everybody knows who sacboy is and the more i see his name the more it makes me think about what's in between men's legs i've got a question for you all today are you feeling a bit down a bit sad well tough because you're playing sack boy so you have no choice but to be happy it is simply impossible to be unhappy when playing this game it's too goddamn peppy even the title screen is happy not only because sackboy is cute but because of the graphical details and how much more real he looks check out the textures of his wall all of the fuzzy bits and everything i just want to reach out to the screen and put my wink all over it suck boy has come from a series entirely built around the concept of 2d platforming mixed with community creativity people creating their own worlds their own levels within those worlds even their own cart racing levels but after so many games based around this same idea with the same basic level editing tools sac boy has finally branched out and done what he should have done very shortly after little big planet 2 become a dedicated platformer i love littlebigplanet as much as the next guy but i think we can all agree the actual platforming controls and mechanics are the weakest parts of the games maybe except for littlebigplanet 3 and on ps vita they're not bad at all but definitely not stellar so i'm more than happy now that we're giving sackboy a chance to focus on pure platforming and hopefully make this game more replayable as a result and they didn't completely get rid of the creativity angle here either because there are so many bloody cosmetics to find in the stages and hundreds of costumes to purchase with the items you find in the stages too i'm a hairy old wise man that left something in the oven ultimately though this is a huge shame but the game itself didn't blow me away too much and it feels pretty middle of the road it's not bad don't get me wrong but i wouldn't recommend it at the drop of a hat i know i've only played it for around two hours and it is very endearing with the character designs and great voice acting from classic british comedians and this universe made entirely from haberdashery and arts and crafts i adore it takes me right back to how i felt when playing tear-away for the first time but as far as platformers go meh there's nothing standout or amazing going on here some of the power-ups are pretty cool and a few moments got me engaged but so far it feels like a much more straightforward and much more sedate version of super mario 3d world on the wii u your default movement speed is far too slow for platforming that's not that complicated but then again i only have just scratched the surface with this one i will keep going because i want to see if it picks up it's hooked me but for now i'm not completely astonished even if you can slap things around with a dead fish as the best bit of the game oh hang on anybody send my socks ah they're on ps5 so how am i feeling about the money i invested into the ps5 at this point and still haven't had back yep that about sums it up but maybe just maybe i'll find something else to love with a bigger and more impressive game a proper triple a box office smash that will demonstrate to me exactly what the ps5 can really do so how about we take a look at assassin's creed valhalla yep nothing to see here this is uh this is this is definitely this this is assassin's creed all right how about we take a look okay dude dude look into my eyes right now and listen to me you paying attention yeah you're looking at me yeah that's good because my eyes are getting smaller oh look at them look at my tiny little eyes this game kicks ass no joke the demon souls remake blew me away a lot more than i was expecting it's one of the best remakes i've ever played and it's so good that i want to shove it right up my to be reasonable though it's still not my favorite souls game and the music in the remake is upsettingly bland and generic in comparison to the originals minimalistic and stressful pieces of music but i mean christ look at this it's beautiful or my name isn't kerdinky demon souls was another game i actually ended up getting a review copy for after i already pre-ordered it and still don't have my money back either way i don't mind too much this time because i loved this game so much i would have bought myself another copy anyway and i don't count it as a repackaged old game because this was redone from the ground up and feels completely fresh as a result fundamentally though in terms of the level design and such this is basically the same game as the original demon souls the cult classic ps3 exclusive from 2009 that is often overlooked in favor of the in my opinion superior dark souls series made by the same developers remade lovingly here by blue point games also responsible for the shadow of the colossus remake for ps4 and approximately three million hd remasters of ps2 classics now don't get me wrong i always liked damon's soup back in the day but i never loved it and it's the souls game i put the least amount of time into by far but with everything they tweaked and spiced up for this remake i am now a lover of demon souls i love the look i love the bleak and sorrowful atmosphere i love the enemies i love the bosses and i love the squishy things that look like a kraken's jedi and it's even better now knowing that you've got possibly one of the most graphically impressive console games ever made that also manages to run at a consistent 60 frames per second without ever slowing down or stuttering at all aside from like maybe one two second moment in my 18-hour playthrough oh yeah i should probably mention i didn't just put two hours into this i already finished this game on my twitch channel and you're seeing my footage here from new game plus hence i have my big bone hitty stick of poke most importantly to me though and the thing that makes me never want to bother going back to the ps3 version ever again the load times are lightning fast thanks to the solid state drive inside the ps5 seriously it's faster than my girlfriend when she sees me and moves away from me teleporting between areas and loading after dying is now roughly 15 seconds faster than it was on the ps3 allowing you to get back into the action faster keep the atmosphere of dread alive without any respite and make sure that it gets you very quickly back into killing all of those crusty demons and for those of you who missed this game 11 years ago or don't even know what it is that is basically what you do here survive brutally punishing enemies through giant winding and increasingly complex locations without a map open shortcuts to later on in the location so checkpoint restarts aren't quite as horrible collect items weapons armor and souls to then buy upgrades to your gear or your own stats deal with multiple invasions from multiple [ __ ] just trying to wet all over your best waistcoat and then eventually make your way either to an epic and difficult boss to truly test your reflexes and wit or a sympathetic moment that's more of a puzzle and that makes you question what you're doing and how the world around you works plot details are vague and mysterious characters are all depressed or batshit insane and in one of my favorite editions they even added facial animations to all the npcs which is a world first for a game in the soul series and yeah i admit i do love the charm and eeriness of the characters not giving away their true feelings or intentions with their mouths and faces staying static whenever you talk to them but i absolutely love these i can't lie especially for characters like the lying cheap patches see that treasure over there go on and take it my gift to you just to show that we're friends i don't know it makes everybody look even more insane and desperate and it comes across as infinitely more uncanny i thought it was a great addition it was scary i also have to disagree with anyone out there that thinks these extra detailed and gorgeous graphics take away from the bleak and oppressive atmosphere the original was famous for because come on are you seeing this i don't think it's lost any of that edge at all it looks way cleaner for sure but it's still dank and pitch black most of the time and some of these areas are horrible to explore and make me regret being born and i do regret being born because i chose to come out are you gonna sit there and tell me that there is no atmosphere in this shot or that it looks too much like any other action rpg to mention you also need to get accustomed to the things souls games are most famous for yes you will die a lot i wouldn't say that this was the hardest game i've ever played or anything but it's certainly difficult and very punishing if you don't play patiently and learn how traps work and how enemies behave or learn the most efficient ways to take them all down with specific weapons or types of attacks death can come for you so quickly too and it doesn't matter how much health you have you'll be sitting there minding your own business eating a croissant and then all of a sudden oh in fairness though if you get too angry you could always invade other players back and then wreck their [ __ ] so everybody's day is ruined yeah you did very good is this a good place to start if you've never played a souls game before honestly i'm not sure i can answer that i mean if you've played the original before and couldn't stand it i'd say stay away because this is as faithful as a remake as you can get take away the occasional camera angle improvements and game performance upgrades and you still have a demanding and stressful action rpg and even though animations have been improved from the silly bouncy and rigid spasms of the original the enemy behavior speed of attacks frames of invincibility weight to your movement and being invaded over and over and over and over again are more or less all identical and this is in my opinion the most dated souls game in terms of how you handle your health store unwanted items manage the items that you're able to carry or even how you upgrade your weapons meaning that a guide is probably necessary for first timers the second to last boss even has a grab attack that if you don't dodge de-levels your character i mean what a piss dick but that's the kind of game you're getting yourself into here and if you're ever stuck i'd love to jump in and help you out but nobody ever seems to want to summon me please somebody summoned me i'm so alone oh yay a person i can help that person hello person watch me helping i'm helping the person oh i'm a good helper yeah oh look at that i did it yeah i helped taking that aside though i really think demon soul shows off what the puss 5 is capable of and for one of the first games to play on it it's a gooden for my pudding and then ash cried out to misty oh no that squirtle took off my shurtle i don't remember pokemon being like this oh i know i didn't watch you there so can i answer my original question at the very beginning of this video is the ps5 worth the insane amount of money it costs to invest in at this particular time is it worth staying up all night hitting refresh on all of your favorite websites until they pop up back in stock is it worth kicking kids in the head before they can get to the checkout desk with the last one in the shop oh jesus no now don't misunderstand this isn't me saying that i don't like the ps5 honestly i kind of love it i haven't had this positive of a first impression with a console in years even if it is a giant jeez the loading speeds are absolutely phenomenal the visual fidelity is incredible while still allowing for flawless 60 frames per second gameplay the controller is basically magic but considering how hard it is to get one of these particularly around the holiday season i really really think you should take a step back and think about what you're stressing over and what you're actually paying for here especially if you're that desperate where you'll pay an extra 50 percent of its original value back to a scalper that bought a shed load in bulk back in november obviously i'm just talking as some [ __ ] from the past that got this thing at launch so who knows maybe by the time this video goes out there will be a lot more available on the ps5 [Music] i hope there will be but for this video and the launch of this console specifically in november what exactly did i get i got one brilliant console exclusive one brilliant game also on ps4 one okay game also on ps4 one good game also on ps4 and pc one boring game also on pc one okay game that you can't only get on xbox but it's also just a repackaged collection of older games one decent game that's on basically everything else and one exclusive tech demo that comes with the ps5 anyway well at least there's no knack out of all of the eight games i played for this video i can only seriously absolutely definitively recommend four of them one of which is a tech demo the other two of which are also on ps4 and other systems sure those games might not run anywhere near as nicely on ps4 but the point is i'm looking at things that you would need to drop everything to get a ps5 specifically for the rest of the games i talked about were either okay bad or available on other systems and if you got a game that was also on pc like bug snacks or godfall then you have already been used to smoother frame rates and beautiful graphics options and have been for years now so the ps5 isn't gonna do much for you in terms of consoles the ps5 is certainly impressive and if i didn't play anything on pc before this i'd probably be even more impressed but the truth is i really feel as though this is what the jump from ps3 to ps4 should have been a while ago because pc owners have been playing games in this way for years now and that price is steep for what is essentially a lesser pc that can't do as much while charging around a hundred dollars for some games that look and run as nice as pc versions of 60 games from around six years ago what the hell sony this is a total ripoff for console only players yes i do think this is finally a noticeable jump that we haven't seen since the ps2 to ps3 and i'm sure that all of the multi-platform games you choose to play with this will run very well i mean aside from one buggy moment in valhalla the rest of the time it was a wickedly smooth ride and that's in an assassin's creed game but geez don't lose sight of yourself and look at what you're being charged for knowing that pc gaming exists because for what the ps5 actually offers to you that's unique and new now these prices are not worth it so unless you really want to be a part of the conversation before you rush off to amazon.com and shout flippity floppity get in my property my advice to you is to just definitely ignore the scalpers their prices are not worth it even slightly and just wait for the hype to die down a bit wait for the prices to come down wait for there to be a couple of bundles with better value games that come with the console as soon as you buy it wait for the restocks to come back wait for there to be a few more games available so it makes your purchase more worthwhile the future is bright for the ps5 make no mistake about that and i may love it but i stand by what i said i just don't think it's worth it at this current time so hold off a little bit and in the uk at least the value of some of the games they're selling absolutely ridiculous completely extortionate especially like i said if you're already used to pc gaming 2020 has been a bastard hasn't it i think it's been rough for basically everybody this year in some way or another and i won't dwell on it any longer than i need to i mean my 2021 is kicking off great already because i've got to try and raise my brick child but i just wanted to close off my last video of the year with a giant thank you thank you for watching my stuff thank you for subscribing and for the few of you out there that have let me know that my stupid [ __ ] has cheered you up even a little bit at some point this year special thank you to you you have no idea how much that means to me and seeing as you guys have all been way too kind to me this year i want you now to treat yourselves stay safe and stay sensible but please close off 2020 with a giant middle finger celebrate the holidays loudly keep in touch with your friends and your loved ones drink a load of alcohol eat a load of food sit down and watch that netflix show about everybody giving birth what's it called the the crowning and fingers crossed we can all start 2021 with a little bit more hope i mean if this year was the worst year for you in your life that means that from here on out it can only get better right anyway i'm gonna go pp i'll see you next year follow me on instagram and twitter or i'll come to your house and sing carols and i can't sing special
