Topic: What PS5 Games Are You Currently Playing?

Currently doing a new playthrough of The Last of Us Part II. I am trying to upgrade my weapons and skills as much as possible so that I will be OP when doing new game plus.

@MrBreak16 When you get to NG+ you can unlock modifiers like infinite ammo, infinite craft materials, slo-mo aim etc anyway.

It feels quite a different game when you can just go around gunning everything in your way!

@Thrillho Oh yeah I knew that, I did a NG+ playthrough on PS4. It's really funny indeed when having infinite ammo, craft materials and slow motion. I would just run around blowing up enemies with explosive arrows =)

@RogerRoger
Oh, btw.
Have you ever encountered with Auto Saving issue from Kao the Kangaroo PS5 version even after the latest update / patch ?

Completed Tales of Arise story last night, just a few trophies to mop up and I'll be completely done with it. I'll put a review of it up in the other thread.

Now I'm not sure what to start next, I know the new service has just gone live but I do have Demon Soul's and Cyberpunk both just waiting for me to start so I want to do them both before upgrading to extra tier. Demon Soul's or Cyberpunk...decisions decisions 🤔

Demon Souls, all day long

@MrBreak16 Having the weapon Ellie gets near the end of the game for your whole NG+ run with infinite ammo makes mopping up collectibles for her pretty easy!

@MaulTsir Head's up - the post-game quests you need to do for the remaining trophies are definitely the hardest part of the game

@MaulTsir Demon's Souls gets my vote...

Some of the mechanics and gameplay elements might seem somewhat 'archaic' if you've played through Elden Ring, but graphically I would say it still remains in top #3 best looking PS5 games today (alongside Ratchet & Returnal)

DeS is not too long either, a single playthrough could be around 30 hours. Think I got the plat in about 40-ish.

@RogerRoger
I don't have PS5 machine yet but I will start to buy PS5 games first for future investment when I able to buy PS5 machine with cheaper price.
Btw, I will try to get Kao the Kangaroo first as I will register that game on my purchase book as my 1st PS5 game. Being registered as the 1st game is really special for me as I really love the Kao 2022 design and his boxing outfits. My plan is getting three PS5 games on next week.

Also, I have written 27 PS5 games I have interest about on my purchase book to be bought in the future and to see in 2nd year of PS5 and I could registered almost 30 games, looks like PS5 will have a lot of kids games that I have interest about. I wonder what kind of gaming trends on PS5 as the years goes by.

@nitram2k11 @CJD87 I think It will be Demon Soul's, I haven't yet tried Elden Ring so my experience with Demon Soul's shouldn't be spoilt by the experience of that, I did not long ago play bloodborne and I've heard the play style is some what different so I'm not sure what to expect but I am excited to get at it.

@Voltan I've read that the end game stuff can be challenging, but as of yet in the main game anyway I haven't found it challenging at all, even when under levelled by 5 or 6 levels things go down with relative ease so I'll be happy for the challenge, although I don't want it to take to long to plat 🤣

@MaulTsir Praise the sun!

I'm always down for some jolly co-op should you fancy it

@MaulTsir It's not too bad, although I did have to do one of the post-game boss fights multiple times to reach the required level (combined with some cooking to boost XP gains, it was the quickest way to do it)
Not nearly as much of a grind as Scarlet Nexus though.

@Voltan I've seen a bit of a "cheese" in regards to levelling to 100, where if you put all the right pieces of equipment, artifacts and cooking you can get a 80% exp boost and if you fight a certain boss level 90 I think at the end of a dungeon(I'm not actually up to this point yet) then you can just rinse and repeat and it says you can get from level 70 to 100 within an hour or 2 that way. Don't know how much effort is involved in getting everything you need but if it helps speed up the process I'll give it a look lol

@nitram2k11 yeah my psn is my name, I'm a Soul's noob with only ever playing Bloodborne before but I'm always up for some co-op fun, just be prepared to do all the work 🤣 lol

sonic origins maybe

@MaulTsir I've shot you a request, my PSN is the same as here.

Don't mind a carry every now and again

@RogerRoger yeah . I like sonic , but what made me like him wasn’t the 2D games , it was the 3D games on gamecube ; i have all the gamecube sonic games , but i barely played the “mega collection” and played the 3D games instead (SA1/2 , heroes, riders , shadow) .

& i basically tolerated mania . i beat mania with all 3 characters and got their super-forms , and even have over 50 hours in it , but i was only able to do it because it’s one of those games you can pass time with and turn your brain off & it was done over the span of many , many , months .

i don’t think it would be a good investment for me to get origins , when i really just want frontiers & it’s so many other games on sale right now too

@RogerRoger haha i don’t blame you playing origins with this sonic drought we’ve been going through since arguably the start of the ps4 gen 😂 we need more sonic games man , and i’m really looking forward to frontiers too despite the initial criticisms . at the bare minimum i wanted a sonic game to look graphically better or as good as unleashed and it succeeded at that so far , so that’s a personal big plus for me .

& i mostly likely will bite and get origins before it even goes on sale since it’s multiple games , and not one like mania . it’s only been a day so far

@MaulTsir You’re following my pathway then, with Bloodborne being my first FromSoft game I completed, and I thought Demon’s Souls was a little easier when I played it a couple months ago. It’s a great game and a brilliant remake. It might have been easier to me because I had a Soulsborne game in the bag already and knew a little about how to approach it. But I also went with the ‘easy mode’ of doing a magic user build. It makes much of the game very approachable and a few of the bosses are remarkably easy with magic. There are a few enemies that magic doesn’t do very well for, like the skeletons (in arch 4 I think it is) which close in so fast you don’t have time to bring up the spell before they’re on top of you. So I did need to have some shield and sword options as a secondary approach.

But if you made it through Bloodborne and all the GoW Valkyries you should be fine.

I really couldn’t get into Cyberpunk. The PS5 version runs well and the game looks great now, but I didn’t care for the gameplay or the characters and story, so I quit it after a few hours, probably 5-6 hours, maybe more. But a lot of people have liked it, but between it and DeS, definitely prioritize DeS.
