Topic: What PS5 Games Are You Currently Playing?

@render @JohnnyShoulder Well yeah, I have been using it since I started the game and this was the only time it didn't work. It went back to normal after I saved the game again at another spot.

The most recent one that I can recall people suggesting that resume activity was the issue was The Medium.

@CaptD That looks annoying so guess I've been really lucky so far with what I've been playing that it hasn't affected any trophies. Will try to teach myself to not use that option.

Luckily I'm not too bothered about trophies.... but see how it could be a bummer if you are.

@Voltan Undoubtedly that's why. I can understand you not even noticing it anymore though if you do it on a daily basis. The feature potentially screwing with your game save is exactly why I don't use it. Well, that and the fact that I save my game before I quit on any game that doesn't force you to go to a save point.

In the end, like you said, luckily nothing happened with your save and that's what's important in the end. I'm not saying you should stop doing whatever works for you either obviously.

@JohnnyShoulder Quick Resume? Have you been secretly gaming on a Series X of late? Yes, I know what you meant.

@RogerRoger Most of the bugs I encountered somehow all occurred in that one session. It hasn't been bad at all otherwise

@RogerRoger I apparently explored about 97% of Koboh and 100% of both Coruscant and the moon (Jedha still needs some work) so I guess you could say that

Playing Grid Legends, it's actually not that bad but then I haven't played a Grid game since Grid 2.
Looking forward to Ratchet and Clank tomorrow....I can't keep up with all these PS+ games, how I hate subscription services.

@Voltan @RogerRoger Thankfully I haven’t had any technical issues with Jedi Survivor so far. I’m just a few hours in, but it seems solid enough. I’m avoiding performance mode; the regular default visual settings run fine. In fact, I’m not an expert on frame rate but it feels faster than 30 fps. Pretty smooth so far.

I don’t remember the combat being this visceral feeling in the first game. The combination of combat animations with the sound effects is fantastic. Some of the best I’ve experienced in a while. There’s just no competing with the ‘wum-wum-ptshhh’ sound of a lightsaber. It has been hard to get used to the default controls scheme since I keep wanting to follow my FromSoft Souls muscle memory and strike with R1. And man, they really throw a lot of moves and mechanics at you right out of the gate. I knew from reviews that you start off with a lot more at your disposal than in Fallen Order, but I’m having trouble keeping up. I’m holding my own with the normal difficulty setting though.

So far I think the environment looks top notch but the character appearance is strangely less crisp, a little muddy at times, especially facial animation. Do you have a recommendation of visual settings? I need to try messing with film grain, HDR settings, motion blur, etc. I never quite know what to do with those.

In all, some great early impressions though.

I had another bug in Jedi Survivor last night where I couldn't finish one of the puzzles on Jedha, because one of the orbs-on-rails would either move or not depending on another one's position, while the puzzle required it to move in both.
Reloading fixed it but obviously I spent a good 20 minutes trying to find what I'm doing wrong before I tried that

@Voltan I hate it when a game bugs out like that. I’ve still not had any problems with Jedi Survivor but I had a similar thing in one of the puzzles in Hogwarts Legacy. I spent like 30 min. trying to solve it and finally googled a solution video and saw that something in the room didn’t reset correctly. Also ended up reloading and fixing it but it drives me crazy.

@Th3solution Oh I hope things go well with Jedi Survivor. I still have to beat the first game.. Which is something I might do if I was not so busy with another game at the moment. That said I feel quite strongly about the new Star Wars games as they seem to be very cool games.

@oliverp Fallen Order is a really good game, especially if you’re a fan of the franchise or a fan of character action / Souls-likes games. I’m early into Survivor and it’s quite fun. The technical issues seem to mostly have been patched I think, but I hear the performance mode is still problematic, so if you’re a player who has to have 60 fps then you should wait. I’m not sure how well the PS5 performance of Fallen Order is because I only played it on base PS4, but it worked fine there. I hear the PS5 port was glitchy at first, so hopefully it’s better now.

Playing Ratchet and Clank rift apart. Wow what an amazing game, just don't want to play too much in each session as it isn't too long afaik.

@oliverp @Th3solution Apparently it is still reccomended to play the PS4 version of Jedi Fallen Order on a PS5. I will hopefully be playing it the not too distant future.

I’ve been playing Final Fantasy XII again as I noticed it was included with PS Plus. I’d probably still say that it was the most underrated FF game, the plot can be a little tough to crack at first but it’s one of the more fascinating settings and I do like the more grounded tone combined with the off-the-wall weirdness you only get with Squeenix. The art style totally holds up as well. Gameplay wise, it’s basically everything I enjoy about MMORPGs but single player. The cherry on top is that Balthier and Fran might be the best characters in the whole series. I’d play a whole game with just those two, if we got bloody Dirge of Cerberus on the PS2 off the back of Vincent being cool then they can give us a follow up this many years later with them.

@nessisonett Loved it when played it 2 years ago this month. Which seems crazy it was that long ago. That was the game that broke playing on a PS4 for me, as it felt so sluggish compared to playing in PS5.

And there was no way I was ever going to get the trophy for completing the Bestiary! 😂

I just realized I posted this in the wrong thread.

I beat Jedi Survivor and I'm missing 2 trophies (+ the plat).
Guess what? Glitched.
Both require beating all the bounty hunters and I can't do that because some of them are simply not there.

@nessisonett XII is definitely one of the most underrated, together with V. If you want more Balthier and Fran, you can pick up Revenant Wings for Nintendo DS, but you will also have to humour Van and Penelope in the process.

Playing SF6’s beta and ut is a blast, I feel like it will become the golden standard in fighting games

@Voltan Dude, that’s rough. Hopefully they patch it and fix that.

As for me, I’m now fully initiated. The game really starts now—
