Lego games are a great option. Or Minecraft. I never played it before and my son kept asking me for help that I couldn't give him and he figured everything out on his own.

That’s exactly how Minecraft went for us too. He was 5 and making these multi level mansions with trains and rail carts and switches. Couldn’t even read but figured out how to do it. Then one day he asked me how to get off his horse and I was like “uuuhhhh” and had to Google it. Gg dad.

We’ll check out the Lego collection, thanks!

I beat one of the Lego avengers games with my 5 year old recently. It was fun.

I do want one of the CE controllers - but f the system since i have an underdesk holder for my PS5 - i will never see the system.

I may buy one of the pro just in anticipation of the resell value it will have to the derps who just gotta have it.

if you have ps+ you can check out plucky squire it just got added and is supposed to be good for kids, a little too easy for adults. a bunch of lego games are on PS+ too. Spyro and Bugsnax are decent kids games too

i just 100%'d astro bot, took a total of 22 hours which is longer than I thought it would be but feels just right. Last few hours of the game really kicks it up a notch and you leave with a real smile on your face. Gamestop is currently offering $35 base + 20% bonus for trading it in so I'll probably drop it off there, its nice having physical for single player short games like this but that seems to be dying

chances of getting a ps5 pro 30th edition are gonna be nearly zero, only 12500 total being made and bots are already setup to order on PSDirect. The 20th PS4 Pro resells for $1500 or so, this will probably resell in the $4k range since the base price is likely $1200-1500.

Since Astro Bot was so well received by my 6 year old, what would be next to play? Seems like he’s picking up the exploration and camera movement. Was thinking maybe one of the LEGO: Xxxx games but I never played any of those.

The Lego games and the ratchet and clank game. My son liked the ninjago game a lot. R&C is a little more open so maybe confusing for a 6 year old.

I didn't buy a PS4 until I got a 4K TV and by then the PS4 Pro was out. They also had FF15 release shortly after the 4Pro while the 5Pro has nothing new until TBA 2025 territory.

5Pro needed to drop at the end of 2023 before Rebirth and Booty Blade released, but coming out months after means we're waiting for the Steam versions and not giving a shit about the Pro for years if ever.

But FF15 sucked ass

Another good game to play with your kid if he loved Astro Bot is It Takes Two. My son and I have played through it and beaten it like a dozen times over the past few years.

Is Astro Bot worth platinuming, as someone who doesn't have much time to play?

It's the first 1P game I've really "gotten into" in many months and I think I'm about 2/3rds through the base game. Not sure if I want to extend it and go for the plat or just play the base game and have nice memories of that. Sometimes plats take too long or get into frustrating territory which is why I ask.

I got the plat in about 20 hr. It's worth doing imo; it's not difficult and you should already have most of it done by the time you beat it. The last trial was kinda hard, took me about an hour to beat that one.

Holy shit someone remembered this series exists! God damn I loved these games, especially the 2nd one.

Just got my preorder from PlayStation direct

will ship and be here day of release

A fool and his money are soon parted

I got in queue just for the off chance I'd get a 30th edition one, but those went faster than rtx 30 series. I could preorder the PS5 pro since my spot popped, but I'd rather burn my money

spronk · Sep 26, 2024

The $700 pro is still up, and will be sold starting 10/10 at retailers (still not releasing till 11/7) I don't think it'll be tough to get at all if you really want one.

Buy PlayStation®5 Pro Console | PlayStation® (US)

With the PlayStation®5 Pro console, enjoy incredible features like advanced ray tracing, super sharp image clarity and high frame rate gameplay. PS5® Pro is an all-digital console with no disc drive.

direct.playstation.com

and yeah the $1k 30th ann pro went immediately, I couldn't get one although bots were able to bypass the queue and bought like 50% or more of the inventory and its all up on ebay now. Its a nice bundle, for $1k you got a 2TB PS5 Pro, a $200 edge controller, a charger, stand, and some swag.

Not a massive ripoff but with the shit games Sony is putting out the money is far better invested in the upcoming 50xx RTX card.

Same. Selling my OG PS5 for $400. I did the same thing for the PS4 and PS4 Pro when it dropped. Zero regrets.

Yeah, that’s what I’m gonna do. I’m gonna go to GameStop and sell it. I love the PS4 Pro. I don’t think I’m gonna sell that ever.

Don't see how people can play that pixelated shit now.

I loved them when they came out. But yeah I cannot look past the pixels.

Personally I consider a large subset of old 16bit pixel games to be superior to 90%+ of modern games. As long as you have a pixel resolution (or sufficiently skilled artist) capable of getting across the image and idea, I do not consider it a detractor at all.

Graphics nerds are the male equivalent of faggot size queens, change my mind.
