@MightyDemon82 Sounds good. I played a bit today too. Baiken seems pretty good and definitely easier to use than the other DLC characters. Very easy confirmes into supers and can't do safe jumps against her because of the parry (I learned that the hard way, it does a ton of damage too ). A bit of a high risk - high reward character but not too complicated.
I'm not going to switch to her but she's definitely fun to fight against and very cool overall.
I was playing Destruction Allstars up until today, it's a good game especially with the new patch. But don't play the game for trophies, I've got all the trophies apart from Fuego & Ratu trophies which are basically unattainable unless they fix it. There is only 3 game modes one of them is Blitz which is only playable on the weekends, there is no game mode called Gridfall. Blitz you cannot earn character trophies in, so it only leaves you with Carnado & Mayhem. This is why these two trophies are unattainable, & why you shouldn't play this game at the moment for its trophies they are basically impossible to get in Carnado & Mayhem.
@Voltan Thanks. That's not bad at all then. Still makes me wonder why the PSN Store isn't more accurate with file sizes, and how they were so far off with this one. Just speculating here, but unless that's the PS4 version. That's another problem then since it was showing the PS5 version on a PS5.

I've been playing GG Strive all day but I had to put the Dualsense down. I'm happy that I can make it to Stage 9 in arcade no problem, it's beating Nagoriyuki, that will take some time to get done. I might try with other characters but Sol and May seem to be ones I'm comfortable with. Came very close but the wife kicked me off the t.v. which is only fair since I've played all day!
After getting through the gauntlet of “The Ritual Path” and beating Old Hero in Demon’s Souls, I decided to take a little break before starting the next archstone mission. So I started up Dirt 5 on a whim for something mindless and different.
And oh how different it is! I didn’t realize the game was so arcadey and …’pop-culturey.’ I mean, it’s fine — it’s just a stark contrast to the grim dark world of Boletaria I’ve been spending time in for the last couple weeks.
And so far I am enjoying it as a racer. It’s not too imposing or difficult, and quite forgiving. The technical aspects are a slight disappointment, as the racing physics seem a little artificial and floaty. But it’s fun nonetheless, even if a little shallow feeling.
The aesthetic is a turn-off too, as the ‘Fortnite-ization’ of all these casual pick-up-and-play games feel the need to have these over-the-top customization colors, decals, stickers, and have to make all the art design silently scream at you to grab your attention. It’s like they just assume you have ADHD, and then go from there. There’s not even a proper tutorial and the game just dumps you right into a race, assuming you’ll figure it out with random button presses until you’re learned by trial and error.
There is an addictive nature to going ‘just one more race’ though. And so I must have fallen victim to the hypnotizing loud art design, screeching pop music, and goofy announcers.

I upgraded Uncharted 4 / Lost Legacy on Friday just so I could take a look. I wasn't necessarily planning on playing right the way through but that's what I've pretty much ended up doing. Even though I remember UC4 being good I forgot just how good the story was at pulling you along. I'll be playing one section and think "I'll just get to the end of this section and then play something else", only to then play the next one and the next one and so on.
I find the gameplay to be as I remember too, which is that I'm usually trapped between wanting to stealth entire sections to just go all out guns blazing. I'll usually start with the former and it'll end up the latter just from not being patient enough. It's still fun even though sometimes the AI can be particularly bad at times. There's those moments where you are taking cover trying not to be seen and your partner is running around all over the shop seemingly completely invisible to the enemy, yet if you'd have done the same then you'd have been mowed down. It's also great that you can end up with a stash of bodies in the long grass as one after another of the bad guys walks over to see what happened to their mate only to also have their neck broken and added to the pile.
Graphically and stylistically this game blew me away on the base PS4 so I'm hard pressed to really see the differences here but playing in performance mode does feel a boat load smoother when you are in the thick of the action. It's also disappointing to see that the haptics / triggers aren't used better but the 3D audio implementation, as mentioned by @Voltan, really works well. It's great to revisit this classic.
@render I played through the Scotland level in U4 last night and the way gunshots reverberated from a specific direction when fighting in those cliffs and caves was just amazing.
The gunfights aren't my favorite part of Uncharted but they got better with each new game and they're pretty good in this one. Overall though, it's the characters, puzzles and level design that make the series so great.
I keep popping into Bugsnax for half hour to hour sessions and am making slow and steady progress each time. Can't really stomach to spend longer game time on it as it's a bit too sickly sweet for me to cope with... feels a bit like I've been trapped inside of Fraggle Rock!
It's fine though really, simple enough fare.

@Voltan That Scotland section is a really great section, and one that I remember well from my first play through of the game. The thing I remember the most is the crate on wheels that seems to have a life of it's own and sure enough this time was no different so nice they haven't changed that 😆
I played D2 when it came out and wasn’t free to play (still got the disc). It was a good game and I hear it’s even better now BUT the problem is that a lot of the non-DLC content has been apparently retired so you’re not getting the story campaign or… I’m not entirely sure what you’re getting tbh
@velio84 It has a PS5 native version now, doesn't it? I wonder how the triggers are. I played it on PS4.
It's kinda like Halo (I think - I never actually played Halo but they look similar) but with some shared world parts and it's very loot based.
Found The Prodigy in AC Valhalla, or to be more specific I found a shirtless guy called Keith who encouraged me to punch a clergyman saying ‘smack my bishop’. There was a note nearby with references to Charly as well. Cool stuff.
@velio84 I played Destiny 2 when it came to PS Plus. I enjoyed it enough to play through the story on my own. As with all games as service titles I played (which is not a great deal tbh), I stopped playing it not long after the repetitive end game stuff. And yeah the shooting really is that good, I found anyway. I don't play enough FPS games to quantify saying it is the best in class though.
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.
I played the demo of Destiny way back when and I was completely disappointed. I’m not the biggest of FPS fans anyways, but it was probably an example of a demo just ruining any interest in a game.
