Topic: What PS5 Games Are You Currently Playing?

@JohnnyShoulder really? That would be a shame perhaps, DS2 was excellent. They can do what they want with 3, though!

Tbf, I can see them making big changes with a DS2 remake but getting to the same conclusion. I’d be open to it, I guess.

Ratchet & Clank rift Apart, what a masterpiece. Straight forward, full of fun and joy, just one way to go and you always know where, and from I have seen its also not too long. This is the perfect game. All should be like this.

@RogerRoger That has just swung one knotch towards giving the game a go knowing it has dual sense support. Thanks for the update (on the update)!

@LN78 Oh there is still ways for the pendulum swing in its favour. I will probs wait until it comes onto PS Plus. Saying that, some of the complaints regarding the story beats I think I can live with.

@RogerRoger Yeah I do love all the stuff with the Dual Sense.

@JohnnyShoulder @RogerRoger As far as best use of adaptive triggers (and the DualSense in general), Astrobot definitely takes the cake. But also, shout-out to Returnal, Rift Apart, and GT7. As far as third-party I really liked the use of the triggers in Control: Ultimate Edition too. With special commendation to Marvel’s Avengers, surprisingly. Too bad the rest of the game was so mediocre.

Returnal is indeed great, still my favorite implementation.
In recent memory Ghostwire Tokyo was also pretty good in that regard.

@Th3solution @Voltan Yeah Returnal has my fave use of Dual Sense too and also 3D Audio.

@Kidfried
I'm currently playing that as well, seems like I have been doing for an age. Quite like it but can't seem to manage more than an hour or so at any time. How far are you into the game?

@Kidfried
Maybe around two thirds to three quarters I think (save game says @70% but I don't know if that just counts the main game or also includes chests/secrets etc.) - According to the rarely reliable counter on the profile it says around 11 hours, though I feel like it should be higher.

@Kidfried
I honestly don't know. I like it but don't love it. I want to enjoy it more than I actually do. The combat, exploration and story are all done well but it just doesn't click with me for reasons I'm not fully sure about. Think I'd currently give it a solid 6 out of 10 but am more looking forward to finishing it than I am playing it.

@RogerRoger It weird how we all have different limits in these things. I'm over 100 hours in Horizon Forbidden West and not felt any ill effects due to any of DualSense implementation.

@Kidfried @sorteddan Fallen Order was the first thing I played on my PS5 and that was just the PS4 version at higher frame rate and I had no problems with it at all.

I mean some of that may have been the noticeable changes swapping between consoles as I’d played most of it on PS4 but it does sound like they made a real mess of the upgraded version.

@RogerRoger Cool congratulations. Spider-man Miles Morales have been a game that have been on my mind since I finished the original Spideman game last year. Have since then been so busy with ohter games that I have not yet have had time to play it.

I got sucked into GTAV online but starting TLOU: Part 2 finally.

Started playing Octopath Traveler 2 tonight. I was a bit hesitant to start as the first one ultimately bummed me out quite badly with the shoddy writing but 2 hours in to Throné’s story and I either got lucky with picking a pretty great starter character, or I am in for a much better time overall!

@kyleforrester87 Judging by the couple of reviews I've seen for the game, the game is definitely better than the first one, so it's the latter at least. I can't comment on the characters as I'm waiting to buy the game since I have plenty of other stuff to play and Square Enix games always drop in price nicely, but I do look forward to playing it.

@kyleforrester87 It’s on my wish list for sure as it’s been ages since I played such a game and Jason Schreier has been banging on about how much he loved it on Twitter too. I’m not sure I’ve seen a bad review for it either.

@KilloWertz @Thrillho Thanks, certainly looking forward to playing a bit more of it tonight.

Playing slightly dated games but been about a month into playing them and they are amazing.

Spider-Man: Remastered
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order (which in my eyes is a masterpiece, from the music, the fight mechanics, the graphics, the story, it may be a near perfect game. the only thing that is a slight let down in my opinion is that its not open world but in saying that Survivor drops next month!)
