Totally with you on that, Deaths Door is a gem. One of my favourite gaming experiences of this year - I enjoyed it so much that when I got all the PS5 trophies I immediately started a new game on the PS4 version. Glad it helped you recover your mojo.
“We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.”
I just have to say, I think the “Continue Game” feature from the PS5 menu is so nice. I’m now at the point where I get annoyed if a game doesn’t support it and I have to cycle through all the splash screens and game menus until I can get to the gameplay.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
@Th3solution I actually like it even more than rest mode just because rest mode is an unreliable feature. Sure it works for a while, but if you use it too much then the game will eventually crash and that sucks if it happens during a moment when you haven't saved in a while. Also because I prefer to keep my PS5 shut down just to preserve its longevity.
Well actually, there's no point in rest mode when you have the "Resume activity" feature as the PS5 boots up fast and with this feature, you'll resume from where you left off instantly. So yeah, it's such a useful feature. It's just such a shame that not all games have it.
@LtSarge Yeah I've used rest mode far less often this gen, only if in the middle of a game and not saved for a bit and I need to go away and do something. With how quickly it is getting back into a game and faster downloading of games, there is less use for Rest Mode.
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
@Th3solution Even after over 3 years it still impresses me that you can be in the game in under 10 seconds. Only problem I've come a cross is when I was playing The Medium and resuming the game would result in trophies not unlocking.
@Bentleyma Oh really? Wow, that stinks. I do wonder about the “resume activity” feature possibly not going back to the most recent save which could have had a collectible or something I checked off in the background, so I still try to save before quitting and then use the “continue game”, which just loads the most recent save, whether it be manual or auto.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
I have yet to and will never use the resume activity feature. Besides being annoying that they forced it on us with an update, replacing the game art in the background with whatever image they want to use for said activity, there are potential pitfalls with it. I doubt it happens much at all, but I can imagine it taking you to a different point in the game than your last save as actually at, potentially overwriting your save file if a game autosaves frequently.

Frustrating that you can’t buy PS credit on Amazon with a gift card balance anymore. No clue what to spend it on and was going to use some on the sales in the PS Store but the discs are way more expensive on Amazon. Plus it means you essentially can’t buy Baldur’s Gate or Alan Wake using Amazon vouchers.
@nessisonett Huh, I was about to do that as well to renew my PS Plus sub. Bummer. There are some games I could use my gift balance on, like I see Wild Hearts is about 12 quid I believe. They sometimes have good deals on 4K movies, but I prefer to support my local HMV who sometimes do 2 for £30/25.

@JohnnyShoulder I was going to grab Mortal Kombat XL and Far Cry 5 which are much cheaper in the store than they are physically. It’s just a big inconvenience.
