Topic: What PS5 Games Are You Currently Playing?

@colonelkilgore I went with Japanese dialogue and subtitles. I probably would never have done that before playing Yakuza though!

The vast majority of time I really like it that way as it feels more immersive but sometimes there are important conversations happening when you're on horseback which can lead to some tricky multi-tasking. You also miss out on some of the NPC chatter as well as it doesn't subtitle that like some games too.

The B&W mode was definitely a step too far though!

@Thrillho you’re a better man than I in that case (excuse me if you’re a woman, or non-binary)… either way you’re better 😁

@colonelkilgore Ha, it’s cool to have the options and will even cooler once the p**d up***de gives proper lip synching with the Japanese voice acting!

Ghost is absolutely stunning I think its the best looking game of the PS4 generation.

@Ypmud yeah it’s beautiful… I’d have to have a session on God of War again to be sure but I think so.

I took a nap after dinner and then woke up and chose violence... meaning I did a few online matches in Guilty Gear Strive for the first time.
Looks like the game's skill based matchmaking is solid as all the matches were quite even. I think I won more than I lost but more importantly I felt like was playing better with each one so that was nice

Now if only the game didn't have to spend 3 minutes "connecting to server" every time you boot it up...

A couple cool combos I just made up

Playing The Pathless. I love this game

Just crossed the 70 hour mark in Trails of Cold Steel. Love this game. Just exploring Roer and doing the first days field study tasks!

Playing Resi 3 remake and I have zero complaints about this game. I suspect I'm getting relatively close to the end and that might be the only flaw, the game being quite short compared to Resi 2 remake let alone most other AAA games I play.

Jill and Carlos are both really good characters, maybe neither are quite as charming as Claire and Leon respectively but that's not an insult as those two are gaming icons.

I don't know if they enhanced anything for the PS5 but I am definitely noticing a difference in loading times between this and my experience with Resi 2 on PS4. Which is just as well really as I'm dying. A lot.

😒

@Col_McCafferty I'm playing Divinity Original Sin and the load times are much, much quicker than on PS4. I don't believe there has been a patch, so I think PS4 games will load quicker regardless of whether it has been updated because of the SSD.

@JohnnyShoulder For sure, it just reads faster, so the drive itself is no longer the bottleneck.

@Col_McCafferty Nice. I still need to play RE3. Do you plan to play anymore of the rest of the series?

After finishing up the first Mass Effect (want to take a little break before I start 2), I started up Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade. It'll be a treat to play this game again, as it was my game of the year last year and it looks and runs great on the PS5.

@Th3solution Definitely. Resi 7 on that Plus Collection so will at the very least give that a try and probably dip into Resi Village afterwards.

I'm definitely a fan of the series!

@JohnnyShoulder yeah, I noticed that with Spider-Man. Could take a while to load on PS4 but really quick on PS5.

Sadly it wasn't the upgraded version but seeing as they changed Peter's face maybe that's for the best.

Ghost of Tsushima is just amazing. I find it incredibly hard to put down. I love the characters and side quests. Even though a lot of the mission mechanics are very similar, the story of each one is brilliant.

The combat though is incredibly fun and sleak. I can't get bored of all the different stances and combat options with ranged and ghost weapons. It really has been a joy to play and not something I intend on rushing to finish!

I just started Control after never getting around to it on PS4. I'm enjoying the gameplay but the map is terrible like one of the worst I have seen in awhile.

@Splat I think everybody agrees about the map Fortunately most of the time you'll be perfectly fine without it.

@Voltan Yeah, it really doesn't ruin the game at all. It was still one of my favorite games of the last generation even with it. You get used to it for the most part, although I did do some running around I shouldn't have had to do just to find something a few times.

I will say it's map is still a lot better than The Witcher 2's, which gets my award for the worst map in a game of all time. When I tried that on Xbox a year or so ago, I couldn't even finish the game because the map was so awful. Unlike running around searching a few times in Control, I was doing it constantly in The Witcher 2 because so many things weren't even listed on the map, let alone just hard to find like in Control.
