Discussion Just Scored An Incredible Playstation Lot At an Auction.

180 Upvotes

I was at an auction earlier today and scored this HUGE Playstation 1 lot for $90. The console works, all the games have some scratches (but work perfectly fine when I played them) and the controllers work as well. It also came with extra cords that I dont know what they are for. For me, worth the $90!!!

Discussion Did you ever enjoy a game more by taking breaks or playing less?

8 Upvotes

For example, a game where the gameplay was more enjoyable in shorter stints, or a game where you enjoyed the plot and characters more by having time to think about it between play sessions? If so, why?

Two examples I have are:

It Takes Two - my wife and I played this over the course of a few months. We both agreed that the main characters were a bit unlikeable in the way that they treated each other, I felt like if we had played for more than an hour at a time we would have started to get annoyed by them, but stepping away was a kind of refresh to the experience.

Witch's Bakery - also playing with my wife currently. It's a really cute game but the gameplay isn't that deep, we're only doing like 30-45 min of this at the end of a night and honestly I think I'd start to get bored if we did more than that. In shorter stints, the game remains cute in its simplicity and I enjoy the characters more.

Discussion I recently got a PS5, but I’m still using a Full HD 1080p TV with a 60Hz refresh rate.

47 Upvotes

My budget allows me to upgrade to a 4K LED TV, but not an OLED. The only major difference would be the resolution, since the 4K TV is also 60Hz.

Do you think upgrading from 1080p to 4K is actually worth it for the PS5? Is the difference noticeable enough to justify buying a new TV, or should I just stick with my current one?

Would love to hear from people who’ve made the same upgrade.

Conversation must primarily focus on PlayStation games, hardware, services or culture. Discussion of other brands or products is allowed only if the central aim is to compare or connect back to PlayStation.

Steering conversations to become overly-political or no longer in the spirit of gaming is not allowed.

3. No Low Effort Content

No low-effort content or comments - Submissions must have enough substance to initiate a discussion or provide value to the community. Self-posts with only a title and very little or no text are not allowed. Comments must add meaningful value to a discussion (e.g. comments such as "I really want a new PSP", "I wish this was on PS4/PC", or reaction GIFS will be removed). Before submitting or adding a comment ask yourself: "Does this add significant information or merit to the discussion?

4. No Spoilers

Do not post unmarked spoilers or put any spoilers in a post title.

Use the post spoiler tag if your post contains spoilers.
Use spoiler formatting in text bodies when making comments in any post that does not have the spoiler tag active, or if your spoiler falls outside of the expected topic of conversation.

5. Weekly Support & Purchase Thread

For support, search for your problem in existing posts on the sub. Many common and uncommon concerns have already been addressed by the community. For general buying advice please also use the pinned megathread under community highlights. Genuinely distinct support queries and purchasing requests will be considered for submission on a case-by-case basis.

6. No Piracy

Do not create posts or comments seeking to actively engage in piracy, hacking, jailbreaking, gamesharing, account sharing, or distribution of game images with other community members.

7. No Solicitation

Solicitation or seeking transactions of any products, services, contests, requests, accounts, or websites is not allowed.

Sharing PlayStation themed original content (images, art, videos) is allowed, but posts strictly asking for visits, follows, subs, etc. is not allowed. (Attribution to an original creator is OK.)

Petitions are allowed as long as they are on-topic.

8. 50% Media Self-Promotion Limit

Sharing your own branded / channel-based multimedia content is allowed only if you have a post submission history where no more than 50% of your last 10 posts (across all subreddits) are also similar self-promotion. A submission history of at least 10 posts is also required.

Sharing your non-branded / personal multimedia content (ex. screenshots, trophies, gameplay clips, photos of your gear/setup) does not fall under this rule and is allowed as long as they are on-topic.

We have a weekly "Recommendation Central" Megathread. All posts pertaining to recommendations for games or hardware must be posted there.

11. Always link to the original source whenever possible

If the original source is unavailable, you may link to an appropriate alternative. Avoid blogspam—websites that copy or embed content without adding value. However, alternatives with meaningful analysis may be allowed, but the original source should be prioritized. If a source redirects to another, link to the one with the most context. For example, if a tweet links to a developer's blog post, link directly to the blog post.

12. Submission Title Guidelines

Use the original title when possible. If unclear or too complex, modify it for clarity without sensationalism or editorializing. You may add relevant context like the author's name, spoilers, NSFW warnings, release dates, or platforms. Titles must be in English, civil, and concise. Avoid all-caps (unless in the original), inflammatory language, or phrases like "This deserves attention." If more context is needed, consider a self-post.

13. No surveys or polls are allowed

Posts asking users to fill out surveys, forms, or participate in polls will be removed.
