Gaming PlayStation 5

To be honest, as a casual gamer I'm quite bored of my PS5. I've completed Valhalla and Miles Morales, and games like Warzone and FIFA just aren't appealing to me anymore, they absorb too much time to achieve anything decent. I very occasionally play Rocket League and Fall Guys and I was looking forward to Gran Turismo but thats next year now.

Anyone got any glimmers of hope for me before I resolve to sell it?

Ratchet & Clank and Returnal around the corner.

Selling it won't achieve much if you get it again when more games are out as a price drop isn't realistically anytime soon.

Resident evil: Village?

If you're casual then play the PS plus collection games, can also pick up the free monthly games, and pad it out with PS Now. Would keep you occupied between the big releases (a few of which will be out shortly.
 
Has anyone heard anything concrete yet about PS5 supporting 2K monitors?
 
Has anyone played Mad max? It didn't review particularly well but has a bit of a cult following now.

I played and completed it, really enjoyed it. This video from ACG sold me on it and It didn't disappoint.



If you don't have the time to watch all that he has a shorter review up too, definitely worth checking out but only if you aren't burnt out on the usual open world guff, of which this game doesn't really do anything new. I got it for free on PS Plus though, I'd say get it if you can get it heavily discounted. I'm not sure if my opinion would be different if I paid money for it :wenger:

I played it back at the time of its release. Good but at best an above average game really. Combat is decent, car fights are good, open world looks good but side activities are repetitive as hell..etc. Just your typical open world game really. Good enough to kill some time for 15 or so hours as long as you aren't expecting anything revolutionary.

Thanks for this. Yeh I certainly don’t expect anything revolutionary. I’m still annoyed I managed to miss it on PS plus but I’d be tempted at a heavily discounted price. The car customisation and combat looks fun.

Aye there's nothing really special about it but the gameplay loop, the barren open world and the driving aspect just really seemed to scratch an itch I had.
 
I’ve done the same thing, genuinely terrifying :lol: I’ll send you an invite if I see you online.

I got really good at killer and survivor and kind of lost interest after that! I might jump back in at some point but i felt like I’d played out all possible scenarios and the games started feeling too tactical. Not that fun when people just run the same loops all game.
 
Is dead by daylight any good? Keep meaning to check it out as Limmy always talks about it and seems to love it

It’s really good fun. I think it falls down with most games in that once you progress enough levels and ability wise it becomes less fun because you end up playing with the core dedicated fan base where everyone knows every exploit and best ways to win that it becomes less fun.

I don’t think I’ve reached that level yet, I find most people don’t seem to do any of the generators? Which I find strange.

I’m finding private games with my friends more fun than anything, something satisfying about stabbing your mate and scaring the hell out of them.

That reminds me of this:
 
Reddit rumours are saying it might be low-key, under the radar Silent Hill game, made by Kojima...
Those rumours are nonsense. Blue Box has had a website up since 2015, promoted a previous game around that time which ended up being vapourware, released some mobile games and just because they don't have much of an online presence and their previous stuff is clearly inspired by Kojima/PT, people have gone wild.

They've made a statement

We received several emails regarding the Hideo Kojima rumor. We have no association with Hideo Kojima nor do we claim to have any association nor was it our intention to claim such a statement. We are a small group of developers working on a passionate title we wanted to work on for a long time. We have been assisting other studios in the past with their projects and we wanted to work on our very first big project. While it is true that we've been working on small projects in the past, we certainly didn't use that for marketing purposes. We hope this has clarified this matter and hope to see you all in our very first gameplay reveal of Abandoned.

Ah gotcha; thanks!
 
it's incredibly good but probably not for everyone. There is no combat, it's all dialogue. The only person you're fighting is yourself. You basically roll dice against some of your actions at various points and getting it wrong can lower your health. And actions you take determine the way the story progresses. Not sure if that makes it more or less accessible than Divinity though, I guess more? Seeing as turn based combat can be considered a bit niche and this doesn't have it.

I'd strongly suggest looking up some gameplay videos for it. Best I can describe it is like a visual novel mixed with a CRPG.
I struggle to get into games that are overly complicated and this might look it but I found it quite easy.

It's cerebral in that sometimes two parts of your character fight against each other (like types of thoughts in his brain) but it's all part of what makes it good. When it boils down to it you've got essentially a point and click detective game where you pick options based on the percentage chance they will succeed. You can increase these chances by having good stats, or the right item on you, or the right knowledge, etc...

I've not played a game like it before tbh.

This game is amazing. Spent the last couple of hours trying to get some speed. I'm determined to befriend Cuno and have him as my dealer.

Cuno was a little cnut.

Glad you’re enjoying!
