Yeah that's like half the reason I bought one in the first place, of course I could wait a year for it to be ported to PC but I have a feeling GTA VI will be a letdown anyway so might as well play during the hype

Gran Turismo 7

I heard it's worse than the prior GT games though

GT7 is decent. Get Helldivers 2 and Death Stranding. Maybe that Demon Souls remake.

Drive to a hood and film one of those YouTube prank videos where you carry around an empty PS5 box while people try and steal it from you

The box for this thing sucks nigger dicks by the way. Sony was too cheap to actually print the box art on the box itself (probably because they're always trying to make 5 billion shitty bundles no one wants) so it's all printed on this cheap slip cover that I managed to rip.

The unboxing experience for this thing is honestly pretty bad. For whatever reason you're supposed to open the box vertically (where the crappy little plastic feet, some cables and the DualSense are), and THEN you lay the box flat to remove the PS5. It's so retarded, either make it so you always have the box horizontally or vertically, I don't wanna do gymnastics to unbox a console. They also put no thought into packing the manuals, they're just thrown on the side next to the console itself.

The console itself is really retarded looking. The disc drive juts out like some sort of tumor, the top panels are mismatched to the bottom panels (they're glossy while the bottom ones are matte), and the system itself is too big for my liking. At the very least you don't need a power brick for it, which I can appreciate.

I'm kind of mixed on the UI. I find it less confusing than the UI of my previous Xbox One but I still find it very unintuitive. It feels like console makers are more interested in shoving ads and a bunch of social nonsense I will never ever use over putting the games I own first front and center. There's also very little personalization, there was this 35th anniversary thing where you could make your PS5 use UI elements from the past PlayStations but it seems like that feature is gone which is quite a shame.

I tried opening the Spotify app on it and it was an awful experience. The app took forever to load and when I tried to play any music on it, it happens after a significant delay. If I try to exit the Spotify app then my music will start to distort horribly.

The only game I have for my PS5 so far is the pack-in title, Astro's Playroom. I must say that I was really impressed with how the game interacts with my DualSense. I thought a lot of the shit that's part of the DualSense, like the impact triggers for example, were worthless overhyped gimmicks but I was mistaken. For example, when I grabbed a bow and arrow in the game the right trigger would resist my finger unless I pressed it all the way in, where the trigger would finally give. The platforming itself is pretty solid too. My biggest issue is that I feel like one of Lee Goldson's Barney-obsessed special education buddies when I played the game. Everything is so overly bright and cheerful, Astro himself looks like a robotic Funko Pop, and when I was playing in GPU Jungle there was this corny and frankly quite irritating love song in the terms of a GPU.

My favorite feature of the PS5 itself is just how fast it was. My biggest issue with my Xbox One was how it felt like it took forever to do anything, from turning on to updating files to loading a game. Thanks to the NVMe drive in this thing I'm happy to say this isn't as much of an issue anymore. I can just turn the TV on, and from there the PS5 will automatically fire up from Rest Mode, prompt me to open my profile, and from there it'll put me right where I left off in my game. SSDs really should've been added to the eighth generation consoles to begin with, perhaps not at launch but definitely with the mid-generation refresh that occurred.

MGSV looks amazing in 4K if you like metal gear.
