Topic: What PS5 Games Are You Currently Playing?

@Col_McCafferty funny you say that because it's shawn layden who was part of the pc plans when he was still ceo.

he said that himself. he also believes that sony won't ever do day and date,since the reason for the pc stuff is to entice pc players to get a playstation by only giving them the game years after their playstation debut.

@Jimmer-jammer yeah I’ve heard that too… I have a feeling that if it is true then the Bloodborne remaster would simply be the original, only with all frame-pacing issues removed and 60fps but they would do that ‘Demons Souls extra-mile’ with the sequel.

Back on Demons Souls, i beat Maneater today… twice! Accidentally aggro’d Stockpile Thomas when I got back to the Nexus and I quickly accessed cloud saves hoping that it hadn’t auto-uploaded. It hadn’t but I ended up back outside the Maneater boss-fight. I just have the pure white and pure black tendencies and 1-4 left to do on my first playthrough… and the second playthrough will be loads quicker, so I ‘should’ be done by this time tomorrow 🤞.

@Col_McCafferty What @jdv95 said

@Voltan I really don't think PC gamers will be buying PlayStations on the basis of God of War finally releasing on PC. Much more they'll be content on playing lots of other games until the sequel inevitably launches on their preferred platform a few years later and the superior version as well.

More love and care and attention goes on these ports than the console versions. Sad but true. Right now it doesn't change anything for me but who knows what the future might bring?

@Col_McCafferty Actually, the opposite is true when it comes to porting these games to PC. Console games are tailor-made for a specific platform and therefore more time, love and care is put into making it run the best it can using that one benchmark. PC gamers on the other hand are used to varying performance based on many different factors. Like the difference between a fitted suit and off the rack.

@Jimmer-jammer you probably use this strategy yourself I’d imagine… but in case you haven’t tried it, I just use the brazier on the central platform as a barrier and dictate the fight from there. Obviously they can come at you from both directions at once as there are two of them but try and concentrate on the first one until he’s down and then move on to the next one.

I just had the peculiar pleasure of farming the plague babies for stones of ephemeral eyes… don’t think I ever had to do that on my past PS3 playthroughs, think I just always had enough. I needed like 15 more than I had in my stock though. As with any item farm, once you find a rhythm it’s fine but initially… it’s the most horrible rinse-and-repeat ever!

@Jimmer-jammer I concur with @colonelkilgore on using the brazier for cover. I also fell off a few times before I worked out the best tactic but definitely concentrating on one helps as then you don't have to worry about getting blindsided by the other. It is definitely one of the more frustrating bosses in the game.

I got the platinum in Scarlet Nexus and I think I’m going to try A Plague Tale next. That’s a shorter game, right?

@Voltan Think it will probably take you 15 hours max to get the platinum.

@JohnnyShoulder @Kidfried I don't even know if I'll want to go for the plat but thanks for the responses

@Voltan I generally only go for platinums if I feel it is achievable and I'm still enjoying the game by the end. Some games I've had enough and wanna move on.

Plagues Tale there is a chapter select for any collectibles you may have missed. Thankfully most of the ones I missed were quite near the start of the levels.

@JohnnyShoulder Oh, so it's that kinda thing. Sounds good, assuming there's a list of what you got

@Voltan There sure is, it records everything you collect.

@velio84 When you go to trophy details, there's a button you can press to reveal details. Hidden trophies are usually that way because their descriptions contain spoilers.

@velio84 You can also view the hidden trophy info in the PS mobile app

Started Nioh 2’s PS5 version since it was a free upgrade. Getting destroyed but at least I’ve beaten the first boss, that took me hours and hours in the first game. Can’t quite get my head around the new mechanics and honestly just want my ninjutsu and onmyo magic as soon as possible.

@nessisonett Man I just got back into Nioh 2 myself, what weapons do you fancy? I find myself enjoying the splitstaff and hatchets. Not sure if it's 60fps on PS4 or not, but it plays pretty buttery on PS5.

@TraCuz- I like the tonfa and the odachi so far! I was mostly swords and spears in the first game so we’ll see if that changes.

House Of Ashes - great little game.

Played a little more of A Plague Tale last night.
It's not a game for people who hate rats, is it? Luckily I'm not one of them.

Anyways, I really like the atmosphere so far and it looks like I'm finding most of the collectibles along the way, so yeah - will probably get the platinum for this too.
