@RogerRoger Just a quick reminder — the PS5 doesn’t support manual back up saving via USB drives. It’s a crazy (and suspicious) omission. You’d be fine for your PS4 games though if you still have your Pro hooked up.

@RogerRoger That's very high praise coming from you! I think I'm even more excited now to play it.
No worries mate, I think it's totally fine to not partake. I'm sure most games you want will get discounted even more in the future. I decided to hold off on a couple of games I wanted to buy for that reason actually. So hopefully you'll be able to whittle away at your backlog in the meantime!
@Voltan Yeah I've heard a lot of people enjoyed the demo as well. It does seem like Arise is lots of people's first entry into this series, so that should say a lot about the game.
@RaZieLDaNtE Hello! Oh wow, it seems like you have a lot of experience with this series! Have you been playing it for a long time or did you recently get into it?
Thanks! What games did you get for Black Friday if I might ask?
@LtSarge Hey friend.
Yeah, I´ve been playing Tales of games since the PS1 era.
RPGs are one of my favourite gaming genres and I got the hook with FFIV (SNES) and Story of Thor (Mega Drive). And been playing a lot of them over the years.
The Tales of games were different at the time, since most rpgs were turn based, and Tales of was one of the few who was action based. Kinda like the Star Ocean series. They are also very anime type games, so not a lot of people play them for that. it is what it is.
As for the games I got on Black Friday
For Nintendo Switch: Luigi´s Mansion 3, Monster Hunter Stories 2 and Metroid Dread.
For Playstation 5: Guardians of the Galaxy and Deathloop.
I was able to purchase all of them at 35€ each. Quite a bargain. Was not able to resist 😜
Cheers, stay safe and all the best

@RogerRoger You maybe be thinking of PS4 games saves on a PS5, which you can backup to a USB drive. Native PS5 games you are unable to copy the save files to a USB drive.
You can back up them up to USB drive, but you can't choose individual game saves I believe. You can only back all of the saves you have on your console.
@LtSarge Enjoy Miles Morales. I haven't yet finished it, but I love how it has its own aesthetic style, and how differently Miles handles as a relative newbie to his powers. I just got Skyrim and Ori and the Will of the Wisps digitally, as well as another year of PS Plus and some digital brushes.
@Kidfried@LtSarge I actually prefer the battle system in Tales of Xillia, as it is a lot faster, or the wonderful and unique battle system and skill progression of Tales of Graces f. Compared to other games in the series the presentation has seen a gargantuan boost, and everything feels tighter and more focused, so in lots of ways it is a big step forward. The English voice track has quite poor sound quality, like it was recorded in people's homes, (perhaps owing to lockdowns), but it's only really noticeable using headphones. The story is somewhat more intense than earlier titles, with a lot going on, and some surprisingly grown-up themes in places.
£37/month black Friday deal for 512mbps through virgin. Will go and pick up the router click&collect a couple of days before we move into the new place.
Also got a tv last week too. LG C1 55inch that was recommended. £1050 as I saw an old mate from school working in the shop so he knocked off an extra 150 off the black Friday price.
We are looking at TV units and that IKEA Lappland looks reasonably priced at £129 but I think we will wait until we move in to get that as it's not in any time limited sale. Also best to physically see how much space we have and whether that unit will fit. I quite want a wraparound style unit so if we have guests, they don't feel inclined to stand next to or behind a thousand pound TV and knock it over lol
@ralphdibny My pet peeve is that internet speed is measured in megabits per second than megabytes. It’s 100% for marketing reasons as it means you get bigger numbers which look better. But nobody works in bits so you end up just having to divide by 8 to get the speed you recognise.
@TheBrandedSwordsman Yeah, it’s a relatively short game. In fact I think that’s one of the few complaints about it. I’ve put in about 8 hours or so. Most people complete it in under 15 hours and I think I’m going to be able to platinum it in that timeframe (maybe).
The genre is maybe ‘third person action platform-shooter’ of the mascot platformer variety. It’s very much a more cartoony art-style and although it’s got an aesthetic that feels more like it’s made for youngsters, it’s actually perfectly playable and enjoyable as an adult. Think of it like a Pixar film in that sense — entertaining for all ages. It has difficulty sliders and so the difficulty can be ramped up for extra challenge if you want, but I’m enjoying it on normal. I still die sometimes but it’s a nice balance of challenge. I think I played the last Ratchet & Clank game on easy though.
Speaking of — to your question, R&C Rift Apart is PS5 exclusive, but the Ratchet & Clank from 2016 is on PS4 and is a very similar game and a good starting point for the franchise as it’s a reboot of the origin story. In a way, the 2016 game is probably even better than Rift Apart, although it’s not as technologically progressive. The 2016 game was given away as part of the Play at Home initiative last year, so you might have claimed it. I’m not sure if you’d click with it because the art style and colorful cartoon nature of it (it’s about the polar opposite of Dark Souls / Bloodborne) but the gameplay aspects are just plain fun and easy to pick up and enjoy.
@Th3solution I'll probably give the PS4 version a go after that glowing review. How are you? How will you spend the holidays? I imagine it'll be with the NBA, NFL and visiting friends and relatives?
@Jimmer-jammer How are you? You mentioned being super busy recently, how is that arts collective going, and the concrete park project? How is work and how's the family?

@TheBrandedSwordsman Yeah, the holidays will probably be with friends and family, and I presume a little spectator sports from time to time. I do enjoy the holidays, but I also don’t get too carried away with them; I think it’s a little overblown actually. Not to be a ‘bah-humbug’ Scrooge, but I think most people would admit that the whole thing is more than a tad over-commercialized. Still, I enjoy much of the Christmas backdrop all the same.

@Jimmer-jammer It sounds like you've got a lot on your plate just now, but I wish you all the best with everything. I'm fine thanks man, already got Christmas dinner sorted out which is good. I like the holidays in general ,love watching Christmas movies on TV and always buy a British magazine which lists all of them in time for the holidays and go through it with a highlighter pen to circle all the ones I want to watch! I'll have to read The Midnight Library, it sounds like a good book, from what you say.

@Jimmer-jammer No problem, what about you, prepping for Christmas? And how do you feel about the holidays in general yourself? I quite like Young Sherlock Holmes at Christmas time myself.

I just answered a phone call from a colleague's number - it was his mother trying to contact the company to get some documents, because he died yesterday. Called me because she found the number labeled as a work contact in his phone (not the only one but the others weren't answering at the moment).
I wasn't close with the guy or anything (he worked 100% remotely for years and I actually found him a little annoying to be honest) but things like this hit you in a weird way :/
@Voltan Hey there friend. Sorry to hear it. It´s always sad to know someone passed away even if we
don´t know that person to well or have a lot of contact with. Even more so if the person was in it´s younger years.
A premature depart from this Earth.
May he rest in piece and wacth his loved ones from afar.
Stay strong and stay safe my friend
