Gaming PlayStation 5

Stop buying Ubisoft open world games they are crap.

I'd go with samey rather than crap. If you've never played Far Cry or AC before i imagine the new games are still a good play but when you've played the same game several times they become....lacking.
 
Started Guardians yesterday. Pretty good so far. Combat is a bit basic but i'm already enjoying the bantz although not too keen on this version of Quill.

Just downloading my January freebies - Dirt 5 and Deep Rock Galactic (any good?).

Played a couple of hours of deep rock and I'm really enjoying it. I just joined randoms to get co-op and so far people are all working together to complete the missions really well. Not using mic either. I'm looking forward to playing with friends at the weekend.

I had a little go at Dirt, seems pretty standard, quite nice graphically, decent use of haptics. Haven’t tried online yet.
 
I can't see me needing an extra SSD for some time, to be honest. I very rarely have more than one game going at a time, and even if I do I try to keep the number of games I actually have downloaded to a minimum. As a result, I still got plenty of room left. Appreciate not everyone does this.
 
I am watching The Witcher at the moment. Quite enjoying it. Is it worth picking up any of the games on PS5 or are they better on PC? Also what's the cheapest way to grab them at the minute does anyone know? They still seem to be quite expensivo

GOTY edition is £6.99 on psn I believe? That has all the DLC included too. It's also getting a free upgrade some time this year apparently. It's great on PS4, nevermind the PS5. Not played it on PC but a lot of the mods I've seen on YouTube don't really do a great deal.
 
A young nephew of mine is looking to play against me on fifa 22 but I haven’t got it yet was just wondering does fifa do cross generation between the PS5 and PS4? As I will rarely play it otherwise?

I think if you buy the PS5 version you get access to the PS4 version. Only if you get a certain edition though.

His father mentioned something to me about ultimate edition, would this be the one I have to buy yeah?

There's many great mods on Nexus and you get 60fps and above on PC. PS5 is still locked to 30 I believe.

Nah to play your nephew you'll need to download the PS4 version of the game (which automatically comes with the game - you just download it)

Was reading up on it apparently you buy PS5 ultimate edition and it gives you access to PS4 edition as well so I can play him. It better as I just splashed out on it there now :wenger:

Ah I thought you had automatic entitlement to the PS4 version with any edition of the game, but now that you mention it I remember buying the ultimate edition for my own nephews this year :lol:

Yeah it’s kinda bullshit on Sony’s part that they didn’t make the standard edition cross gen as well, but oh well…

Tbh I think it's more of an EA decision than a Sony one. Plenty of other publishers have allowed the dual entitlement into this year too.
 
Ok I've pre ordered Elden Ring.

Is it the case that the PS4 version of Horizon Forbidden West gets a free upgrade because if so I'll pre order that as it's cheaper?
 
I seem to be stuck in a never ending loop trying to access my stupid EA account and link to PSN.

The game tells me I need to reset my password, so I follow the guidance on the EA help page which tells me to go to the login page and use the “proceed with” option and choose PSN, which I did and it said I need to reset my password and to enter my email, it send me a link, I reset the password and it says success.

Then I try to access the account to link it to the PSN account and we go back to step one with it telling me to reset my password.

At this stage I’m ready to launch the controller out the window.

Any ideas?
 
Over the past few days my PS5 has just turned off randomly during gameplay 2 or 3 times.

I can’t put it down to overheating or anything like that since I was only about an hour in.

Anyone who experienced this issue? Any suggestions?

Wait to see if it's still doing it tomorrow? I'm out of ideas beyond that
 
Wow just met the difficulty spike on Kena. Just managed to beat the corrupted Woodsmith on the fourth attempt! Only on normal difficulty but man he was hard. What a fun boss fight though, I thought I’d bodged it too because I used both healing items in the first half and thought I had no chance of getting through the rest. Somehow though I managed to time by dodges perfectly in the second half and then finally met him at the end with a massive Rot hammer move. Ill remember that one, great fight.

This does bring me to one my issues with dark souls games, I love the challenge of the bosses, but I really hate the fact that in souls games I have to not only beat the boss but also trek back through the previous enemies. I know that’s the fun for many people but I just don’t think I fully get that, as I get bored doing the same thing again. Checkpoint just before the bosses seem more my style.

This is the problem with soulless videogame companies who just want to milk their customers at every turn while providing a lacklustre overall product - their support is usually terrible as they care so little about their fanbase. EA are quite bad too.

100%. I have no issues with challenging fights but trekking through the same place you already cleared over and over to get back to it sucks balls.

Is this where it’s meant to get hard? I beat the woodsmith first go. Just lots of dodging and fecking up the thing in the middle.
