***** Official PS4/PS5 Discussion ***** Where The Greatest Play Edition

[ohiostate124]

Figured that was just because I am not a comic fan. Stories for both games sucked IMO. That gameplay and visuals though.



I never transferred data to my PS5. What are you transferring?



Very nice. Finish off the rest of the Astro trophies then BugSnax? PS4 games you never got to that have a PS4 patch?

Might have to finally play Tsushima. Idk about Bugsnax. That may be a pass. I really should go back and get that last trophy in Astro’s though. Its just the 7 minute one but I wanted to get into Demon’s Souls. It does kind of bother me though sitting there at 92% lol.

[ohiostate124]

Miles Morales I have no doubt will pop my cherry on ps5.

Also interested in ragnorak and rift apart.

Gow needs to come through huge if they are to erase the abominable Norse centered direction that was 2018.

Noobs to the franchise is ok.
There’s needs to be some appeal to traditional gow fans too.


Also hoping for sly cooper v and ffvii part 2.

Not sure what you are expecting but GoW RAGNAROK is going to be Norse centered as well. Even more so probably with Thor and maybe Odin this time. I’m sure they’ll include some of his past like before but its not going to be a completely different game.

I know it will be a sequel to gow 2018, that, the title and the teaser with Thor makes that apparent.

I am talking about the gameplay and the combat. Or was trying to anyway. It was early!

Yeah Norse story is here to stay. The combat, the enemy variety and the bosses were underwhelming.
I hope Ragnarok outdoes the first one was what I was trying to say. It just came out all retarded.

God of war original was superb. It was near perfect but lacked bosses. Part 2 the increased the combos, Magic’s, weapons and the bosses were so much more plentiful . That leap is what I wish they do with the next one to surpass the last one by adding more of what the first one lacked.

First gow trilogy had lots of enemies , platform img, puzzles, weapons, and bosses .

If they gave us more of that then That stuff would appeal to me as a god of war fanatic.

Maybe gamers were spoiled then.

Yea, they aren't going to change up the new wildly successful formula they have only used once.

Saves and such. I wanted to finish Ghost of Tsushima, Red Dead, and Spiderman on it. I just learned you can connect then together directly with an ethernet cable so I'll try that tonight.

Just use the cloud man. Quick and easy.

If you like puzzle games give BugSnax a go for sure although it looks gay AF.

And will only take you 7min to go ish off Astro, and I enjoyed the speed runs. First 4 are really fun but the last 4 motion bases ones I suck at so not as fun for me, lol.

[Deathstroke]

The main boss looked like a short order cook with a criminal record more than a god.

Saves work that way too? The system made it sound like I had to transfer game data like saves and stuff from my other playstation...

Nope. Cloud save is Master Race. I mean I made a backup on USB just in case but wasn't needed.

My since getting PS5 gaming:





What will it be?

I gave up on spiderman. way too many repetitive collectibles/"tombs" lol

[bartosh]

I gave up on spiderman. way too many repetitive collectibles/"tombs" lol

Same

Also kind of giving up on immortals fenyx rising. Has the same problem where it’s super fun but I’m 20 hours in and I’m bored of the open world outside of going to beat the final boss. I’ll beat him later today and I think that wraps up this game for me until some dlc drops (which I’m assuming will be beefy since there is a $40 season pass available)

That being said, 20 hours of a lot of enjoyment is a huge success and worth the money

[Coal Man]

Sushimacels, I'm in act two and can't decide between Clan Sakai armor or Gosaku.

Right now I'm thinking maybe Sakai is stronger? It's really close. Anyone tested these two out extensively?

[mgftp]

I see myself joining the "Days Gone" is the most underrated PS4 game camp. Really enjoying it so far and not sure I ever would have tried it if it weren't in the PS Plus Collection and seeing a post online every day how it's underrated.

Damn, I thought it was really light compared to your average open world to-do list. Plus with the upgrades you earn from things it always felt rewarding to me.

Since I waited until the game was over to really do the side quests (crimes, tombs, etc.) now it is just repetitive for trophy's sake

wishing I hadn't rushed the campaign

[iZZmatic]

Yup I've been praising days gone forever. I got it on sale like a month or so before the ps5 released. Game is amazing on the ps5.

Literally just got this today too haha. I have both maxed out, seem to recall the clan armor had the resolve regenerate? Not sure which I prefer, interested to see other thoughts.

Yea, that is definitely not the way IMO. I always do sides before the main.

Might end up in my top 5.

My thoughts on the armors

Spoiler!

The perk of the Sakai Clan is increasing standoffs to 5 enemies but I find that stand offs get really difficult later on.

Resolve bonuses can be set with charms anyway. The biggest difference between both is Gosaku focuses a little more on stagger so with 2 Bludgeoning charms you can mostly stagger in one triangle press.... But it has weak attack power so you may not finish off the guy before he regains footing and you have to stagger again.

With clan Sakai you may need two triangle attacks to stagger them but you have more attack power to finish them before they regain footing. It really gets tough to decide which is then better lol. I kinda just switch between them depending on the looks

[DASBUNKER]

Started playing Nier, wtf you can't save until like 30 mins in. Hard mode can get too hard and medium is way easy :/

Also started playing Shadow of war, I liked SOM, but on war there are like a 1000 orcs everywhere you go, can't advance for chit and hate getting killed and promoting some low tier orcs that think they hot chit, mf I just beat Sekiro twice.

Good info, thanks. I don't think I have very good charms but the Sakai armor seems to suit me better. Even though the Gosaku says it's for running headfirst into battle, I obliterate much better with the Sakai, unless it's in my head.

Ended up finishing the game with Gosaku and Ghost though because of their perks. It worked great when I could finally remove the Inari charm and put something else in that main slot.

White dyed Ghost is the most aesthetic armor in the game imo.

Finished the game, it was fuking amazing. I'm just trying to get the remaining collectibles since I already explored the map and dealt with all the hidden locations. I never even felt forced to do any of these, I just really enjoyed playing this game. Easily the 2nd best game I played this year, behind Witcher 3.


Not sure where to go next though. I still haven't played RDR2, so I'm thinking I'll go there.

Beat Immortals Fenyx Rising - 8.5/10 overall

Overall it's a great game and I'd highly reccomend it. The story/narration/dialogue is great and hilarious at many points.
Gameplay - 6-7/10. Starts off great but as you get to end game, the bow isn't really viable and I spent the most of the time using the ax and only the ax. (you have sword/ax/bow). Plenty of satisfying combos and it's rewarding to dodge enemy attacks with what you have available but the balance of your weapons is kind of off. Sword usable, bow not really, ax super strong
Story - 9.5/10. There aren't many games these days that get a laugh out of me. I laughted a ton. You play as a hero with Zeus/Prometheus narrating and their side quips are great. Basically it plays as the opposite of God Of War. Zeus is an idiot and all the mistakes are his fault as he's oblivious to causing them. The 4 other gods that you interact with all have some solid dialogue individually but when they get brought together, it's once again golden.
Map - 8/10. Massive and full of stuff to do. Doesn't get boring until about the 20ish hour mark. The puzzles in the pits that you jump in require a good amount of thought and there was 1 that I had to youtube. There are a few upgrades that you get that intentionally break them all into really easy ones but until you get those, i'd say 1/5 are easy auto-mode, 2/5 require thought, 1/5 require a lot of thought, 1/5 are genuinely challenging. Same with world puzzles. I enjoyed having to think in a game for once

spoiler to what the game-breaking upgrades are

Spoiler!

- a lot of the puzzles are 'place boulders on platforms'. light vs heavy. move blocks around. You can unlock something that makes a clone of yourself that you can use instead of the provided boulders/blocks. breaks a ton of puzzles in an easy way
- you have the ability to pull objects towards you with the 'force' like ability. you can only pull light objects. there is an upgrade to pull heavy objects which allows you to break puzzles as well

Highly recommended

Starting Ghost of Sushi finally. 2-3 hours in
Only point i'd make is i was expecting the graphics to be better since everybody was saying it's visually stunning. Looks great but I dunno, i was expecting more. Grass/foliage looks incredible. Ground textures look ok-ish. Lots of clothing/armor/hair clipping during cutscenes which is jarring.

[Deathstroke]

Solid write up, Tosh. I’ve read good things about the Switch version and I’m sold on the game now. Might double dip. I see good reviews and gameplay on youtube. Most switch channels have it in their playlists.

[ZBlacktt]

I'm now im my 5th open world of more side missions and go fetch items in AC V, lol. Not sure if this game ever ends.... the story was so lost back in world 3.

Another overly bloated Ubi open world game. So surprised.sad how much better so many of their games would be if they were just shorter.

[Deathstroke]

Finally played the ps5. AC Valhalla and Demon’s Souls. Controller is in my top 2 goat now. Everything looked, played and felt delicious!

Anyone know where the hell I can get a DualSense charger or which places have the best chance of restocking?

They’re coming in stock somewhat regularly. Follow some ppl on Twitter that are out there trying to do console drop notifications and you’ll see them. I ordered one (for a friend) from Nebraska Furniture Mart a few weeks ago. Lots of the time things like that are available through Sony direct if you stay in queue once people start dropping off after the consoles are sold out.

[jfindon]

Been trying that, but there hasn't been a queue in over a week. Wish I stayed in now during the last one.

Direct won’t probably drop this weekend. Look monday or Tuesday for them to have a queue. They’re also likely to be widely available in like 6 weeks.

Wound up finding one at Target when I checked one last time before the closed. But the time I got there they had already sold 3. It's insane how fast everything gets bought.

[2RDEYE]

what do you guys do with your old games? i'm cleaning up my place cause im moving this year... just opened a box... full of psp, ps2, and ps3 games. idk if it's worth anything anymore. maybe the ps3 games for trade-in-credit but the rest probably nothing of value
