Gaming PlayStation 5

I have to say A Plague Tale: Innocence is brilliant. I didn’t think it would be my kind of game truth be told but it’s a great story told really well and looks good on the PS5. I’m just in the process now of going back through each of the chapters and cleaning up the collectibles to see if I can platinum it and the PS5 cards have really come into their own. I can just quickly watch a clip to see where you find it (similar to Astros) and it works perfectly.

Couldn't get into it myself. I really struggle with games that are so 'on rails' these days.

The whole 'throw a stone and the guard goes "Huh?" and walks away' is so old and tired. Also when those guards are in the castle and you're meant to be sneaking past them but it's just a pre-set route with zero chance of being spotted. You can even go right up behind some of them for as long as you want and they never turn around.

Yeah I was surprised at how good it was, I loved the rat physics :lol:. Pretty easy platinum too.

Heard good things about it but before it came on PS+ I had never even heard of it.

Yeh agreed, on the whole, I'm not a fan of stealth games especially when they are so linear, but I do really like the setting of this one and the story itself kept me interested in playing. I think the game does a decent job of trying not to rely too heavily on its systems, one moment it's sneaking past guards, then manipulating the rats and the followers you bring each have unique skills too. At the end of the game, you feel freer as there are far more tools in your arsenal at that stage.

Hoping I can manage it, its a bit of a chore having to repeat every level but I think I'll give it a good go because I don't have that many more to get through. The rats are genuinely grim in this game haha.

I’m not looking forward to that bit. I know there’s one where I missed the collectible right at the end, which is really annoying.

On the plus side, once you get the collectable you can just quit the chapter as it saves as soon as you pick it up. No need to play through the whole chapter again.

That's true, the slight annoyance is I didn't quite get to upgrade my sling all the way so Ill have to try to pick up some bits in the last few chapters to upgrade that fully and get that trophy too.

Yeh its not so bad repeating the first few chapters but the latter ones are quite long and have loads of guards and sneaking etc.

Did you guys get the digital or normal edition?

I’ve got the normal version. I still use discs even though I’ve got a couple of games downloaded digitally on the console already that I’ve still to play.

I tend to trade in disc games when I finish them. Build up store credit and get money off new titles that I want. Easy tactic to save money. Already accumulated £157 on the Game Wallet solely through trade-ins.
 
Amy game that's for multiplayer I buy digital. Like Battlefield, COD and maybe aliens Fire team when that comes out. So that I can easily jump to a new game without having to get off my couch. But I mostly buy single player games on disc.
 
Got my 6th Platinum on A Plague Tale: Innocence good game, fairly easy platinum. Abit of a grind going back through the levels but rest not so bad. Also it’s amazing how quickly you can plow through the levels when you skip cutscenes and just rush through. Some took me like an hour before and I got through them in about 10 minutes second time around. Overall a solid 7/10 experience and another platinum finally!
 
Just got my Ps5. The internet connection is shockingly slow. It works fine on my PS4 and I don't really know what to do about it.

Have you tried resetting your router? Need to factory reset mine at least once a month as I have the same issue

Yeah, I tried that didn't make a difference. Havn't been able to find a guide that sorts it out for me. The network speed is high on my PS4, so it's a problem with the Ps5 at the end of the day.

Wifi, but it's not much better when it's wired.

That is definitely weird, wired should be pretty much flawless. It almost has to be a faulty unit in that case. If it was just wifi, I would suggest switching to 2.4 GHz in the PS5 settings and seeing if that does anything.

It already is on 2.4 ghz, i get an error if i switch to 5ghz. Yeah it sucks if its an error in the hardware because there arent really Sony shops here in this country and ive been waiting for this 9 months after i pre-ordered.

What's the error you get switching to 5ghz? When I originally read your post it sounded like it was going to be a congested wifi channel and switching to 5ghz normally solves that as it's less used at the moment. You can also download phone apps which check for congestion and give a suggested channel.

If it's a problem on wired that's very weird though. What's your comparative speed of phone / PS4 versus the PS5?
 
Sounds like a hardware issue from the router a firewall/NAT/Port problem.

I'd put the PS5 into a DMZ then try the speeds if its still an issue then its not your side its the Sony Servers to yourself, a routing issue from the ISP maybe.
 
E3 is useless nowadays. The last one was truly awful and with the impact Covid has had on the the industry more and more companies will be taking Sony's and Nintendo's lead and going to their own events.
 
sold my ps5 months ago and really don't regret it. That might change when Horizon and god of war come, though.

Is this guy still relevant? Has he ever been relevant? His "analysis" doesn't seem to go beyond repeating it's "dumb". Such insight.

I wonder how much the major platform holders still need E3. Nintendo have been doing their directs for a while now, Sony have their state of play stuff and even MS, who still attend E3, have had online showings in the build-up to the Series X|S launch. Covid might've forced their hand but still, it seems like the way forward. I certainly didn't miss E3 in 2020.

Going to try and platinum the uncharted series. Love these games. Even UC1 still plays ok.

I platinumed the first three when I got the collection, but never completed 4. I'm not really a huge fan of the series and I couldn't get into 4 at all. The second and third games in the collection play quite well, but the first one is really showing its age, imo. It's a little rough around the edges, to say the least.

I heard Lost Legacy is supposed to be really good. I haven't played that one yet.

Whereas I genuinely think 4 should be regarded as a video game great :lol:

Lost legacy was very good, just not the same without Nathan and Sulky.

I think I should have taken a break. I played them all one after the other, then got the platinum in them without playing a different game in between. I think I just had too much Uncharted!

It's been a good while since I played them, so I may go back to it. It's free with the PS Plus Collection.

Why would you platinum three games in a series you're not really a huge fan of? :lol: That sounds like self-inflicted torture to me.

Oh, I don't dislike the games by any means. I guess I find them slightly overrated. They're fun enough, though. Plus, I like my trophies!
