Definitely plan to, although I like to mix it up a bit before moving onto game sequels, as it gets a bit samey with the themes and gameplay, and think it gives you some time to let the beauty of the game sink in a bit.

Ghosts of Tsushima also on my To-Get list, when it comes down to a reasonable price, or after I've cleared out that backlog.

Brilliant. I envy you.

I finished Persona 5 recently after sinking in 110 hours and immediately wanted to play it all over again. Probably the best compliment I can give to it.

Skipping a generation really did help me in this instance, with the bonus of playing a few of them at 60FPS and 4K.

Is Persona 5 a game you can play on the side to a story-focused one, or is it one you'll want to put all of your time into until you complete it?

I’m still playing Control but struggling to turn it back on. It’s so like dark, as in the lighting, just an indoor world that has some mystery. Not sure if I’ll bother with it anymore (I do however like elements of it).

So you mean literally dark? As in you can't see anything?

I'm still loving it at the moment. Don't think I'm too far from the end now. The sense of mystery and discovery I find excellent and the combat is really fun. I did the Ashtray Maze yesterday. I won't spoil it here obviously, but it was incredible!

I went into that maze and had no idea what was going on :lol:

I’ll keep going then.

It's really story heavy and very long. You could maybe play it now and then but would take you ages to complete it.

I could not play anything but Persona untill I finished it. Way to story heavy to switch between games. However I lost 3 hours of gameplay because I forgot to save and accidently preshed power off on the Paystation and then left it for a month at least. It was hard to get back into the flow after that and that took me a while.

In the same boat. I like it when i play it, but I never have any urge to put it back on. It made me want to play Resident Evil 2 Remake so I bought that and I'm really enjoying that.

It's only a tenner otherwise I probably would have waited for it to inevitably be added to PS+.

Maybe they'll jump straight to Resi 3 though as that wasn't as well received as 2.

Thanks both, although people saying it's taking 100+ hours to complete is a bit worrying, as it usually takes me around 3-4 weeks to complete a 20 hour game :lol:

I don't have that much time either maybe a couple of hours a day, I started playing it new year and only finished it a week ago. The Royal version takes about 130+ hours, but you have to do certain things to unlock the extra content so look up a spoiler free version of how to do it before you start playing.

Infact I would watch one of those 'before you play tips' (spoiler free one) on YouTube, as there are so many things you can miss that will make the game much better which you won't automatically pick up.
 
Sony also revealed that nearly 63 percent of its "full game" sales for the 2020 calendar year came via digital downloads rather than games sold on discs at retail. That's a significant increase from digital sales' 43 percent share in Sony's 2018 fiscal year (ending March 2019) and the 55 percent share in fiscal year 2019 (ending March 2020). The increase mirrors a longstanding trend away from disc-based games around the industry, and it's a trend that may only accelerate now that roughly one-quarter of all PS5 systems don't even have a disc drive, based on early hardware allocations."

Rumour has it that they are going to release some sort of accessory that will allow the digital version to play discs. Watch this space.

P5 is well worth it. I played other game along with it and was able to easily pick up where I left off. But the last 20-30 hours were something else. Couldn't stop then. :lol:
 
Would much rather be given something to increase capacity so you can have even more downloaded than something to play discs.
 
Managed to secure an order the other day with Very. Should come tomorrow. Had to get it with Spiderman but it seems to be a good game anyway so looking forward to it.
 
Why would you even need this the console has been built to be able to upgrade the internal SSD :confused:

Do i really need to comment on the idea of a blu-ray drive add-on i thought that sounded so ridiculous it wasn't worth even mentioning it.

feck does he know? Look at the video I posted around 4 mins in and tell me that it doesn't look easy to add/remove the disk drive. They'll be on eBay in no time no doubt...

Last people to try this crap made an add-on HD-DVD drive and now the media format doesn't even exist just saying.

No chance. The optical drives will carry a digital signature and that will be be linked to the digital signature of the CPU, GPU and RAM. If any one of those changes or new digital signature is introduced to the equation, it will brick it.

Even at launch their pre orders we’re a day later than the rest and they also dropped through the night, it must have something to do with their website updating at certain times.

I think they’ve said it’s just when it’s quietest and so the website won’t be overloaded with traffic.

Thats basically saying they’re happy to give the bots a free run at it.
