Gaming PlayStation 5

Agree with you. Thought it was a very average game

Had it bundled with my PS5 and was the only game I had so played quite a lot of it (35 hours) but it was very boring.

The big letdown for me was melee still, they'd improved it but not a great deal, who even really cares about melee anyway when you're fighting robot dinosaurs :lol:

I have a similar play time. Its roughly twice the time i spent on spiritfarer which i loved. I was a bit bitter about that when i saw it. Its a fair old timesink even compared to stuff like Control and Bloodbourne.
I just found most of the enemies really tedious to fight. I kind of thought as i leveled up and got better melee options or whatever it would level out but it never did and just got worse really. The melee duels against humans were a definite low point actually.
 
The Indiana Jones talk made me redownload the uncharted trilogy, just had a bash on the 1st game and it hasn't aged well. Clunky and awful camera angles. Not great.

Played about half an hour and apparently 16% of the way through. Don't remember it being that short.

That’s shite.

Yeah, it's rubbish. I'm not great at keeping up with when things get removed either. Thankfully it was just me wanting to go play something and realising it was removed rather than being half way through a game and it getting chopped!
 
I was surprised to learn that PS5 does not have Ubisoft premium. I guess i'm getting Sw Outlaws on xbox then.

In the meantime on Ps5, I'm counting down the days until Astro bot hits.

I think Xbox made some sort of deal with Ubisoft as there was this article a couple of years back on the Ubisoft Blog saying it was coming to both Xbox and PlayStation, then it ended up just going to Xbox.

It's a pretty good service! I've decided to play that new avatar until Outlaws comes out. Only really want to try as I heard the graphics are great.
 
After outlaws, I'm playing third parties on PS5 as opposed to Xbox. I'm just going to play Gamepass on Xbox. They've lost me with all the multi platform stuff.
 
Just got this after finishing my ps4 backlog. Had a look at the games available and I'm not impressed.

Any suggestions ?

For a console that's been here for 3-4 years now it does seem that this gen has been a slow one.

What sort of games are you into? It’s a weird generation this where most of the top games were released on the previous system and there aren’t as many exclusive titles anymore.

Returnal and God of War are the only 2 that spring to mind. Cyberpunk works better on ps5 and is worth a play now.

Ratchet and clank is definitely worth a play as is the Demons souls remake (if you’re into souls games that is).

Ghost of Tsushima looks incredible on the ps5. I've also recently started Alan Wake 2 and it's one of the better games I've played since I bought the console.

Let me guess you bought into the "play all your favourites from last gen, but this time in 60fps" as the major selling point and worth the price of admission?

Why do you care? You got rid 2 years ago but feel the need to post in here today?

Or maybe they have just enjoyed playing games on the PS5?

Does seem strange to see a thread about the PS5 and then stop by to let everyone know you sold yours 2 years ago.

I’ve personally loved the PS5. The DualSense is the best console controller ever IMO and really elevates the experience of playing games that take advantage of it.
 
I bought the next gen update for TLOU2 and it looks incredible on the ps5. Not sure I have the energy for another full playthrough of it, mind, but my god it’s a beautiful game.

So did I. Hopefully it has some decent dual sense support.

Anything and everything tbh. That's the thing, I've already played Ragnarok, Ghost of Tsushima, Horizon Forbidden West etc...

I'll give Returnal a go. Honestly, I hated Cyberpunk, is it that much better on the new gen ?

I'll give Alan Wake 2 a go too, cheers.

So my list so far is Spiderman 2, Ratchet and Clank, Returnal and Alan Wake 2. Any other suggestions ?
Was interested in skull and bones but I've heard that it's dreadful. Shame, cos I really liked Ac Black flag on the ps3.

Its better now than it was then but thats more because of time than hardware. I dont think the older consoles were cut out to run it at all and its a better experience on ps5. I doubt it would change your mind that much if you hated it.

Tbf the last time I played it it was a mess. I probably will give it another go eventually but I just prefer the look of the others. I do prefer 3rd person gameplay to 1st person.

Heading to the F1 thread to let people know I stopped watching F1 two years ago and have zero regrets.

I think I've been doing this forum thing all wrong. I generally tend to post in threads I have an invested interest in.


Think I will try and search threads that I have no current connection to and simply state that to the people in the thread.

It’s wonderful now. And it really is meant for next gen / PC. But it first person perspective isn’t your jam then it may not click as it’s a game really commits to it in order to achieve immersion.

Its worth a second look at some point.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth was good. Dont know if that appeals? Baldurs Gate 3 was very good. I liked Elden Ring and Armored Core. I'd say most of the other stuff that stood out for me was indie stuff that you could have played on ps4 and it wont change much between the consoles.
Covid has probably slowed things down a lot and a lot of stuff getting released is remasters like the Last of Us games which doesn't help.
 
Finally got around to finishing the platinum on Ghosts of Tsushima. Time to wrap up the trophies on the expansion now.
