I've resubbed during days of play the last few years, sub ends one day and the offer works the next day. But now they gave us the 5 "free" extra days as compensation for the downtime it's pushed my expiry date to June 12th. So I'll be without a subscription now until the Black Friday offer.
Iron Meat for Β£10.79 and Hell Blade for Β£7.49 finally got me to bite. Been playing a lot of PS3 games lately so at least I'll have a reason to turn the ps5 on.
Still haven't got a disc drive for my Pro so gives Sony a bit longer to (finally) restock it. Noticed the eBay prices coming down but would rather buy direct from a retailer.
It's ridiculous that different people have different options. I'm in the UK, have just accepted the terms and there's no Β£ rewards at all. They do seem to have added quite a few games, things like AstroBot Deluxe upgrade and lots of virtual currency for free to play games.
The master challenge was enough for me. Took me so many attempts to clear, it guaranteed I don't boot the game up again. Very good game but happy to leave the experience in the past.
I picked it up, had a nice 20% preorder discount (I pre-ordered yesterday). Watching videos of it made it look exactly like the kind of game I can get lost in. Looking forward to getting started at the weekend.
One of those rare months that I won't even add them to library. Might have given Aveum a go if the platinum wasn't annoying.
Picked enough up in the spring sale to keep me occupied for a while anyway.
Day 1 for me, same as the PS4 pro. Then to CeX with my standard console. No matter what the improvements are, they will be improved versions of the games I'd be playing anyway.
Am really interested in this and do love a platinum trophy. Will be waiting for reviews to see how the difficulty is though. My old man skills are usually no match for Team Ninja games. But only doing one mission on hard might be possible, even for me.
The hard crash that corrupted your data sounds like this is a hard avoid. Your lucky auto save means this got a 7. If it would have meant restarting the game would that score be lower?
@KingPev Gears 5 def on the list. I had a 360 before switching to PS4 so always loved gears. Had probably a thousand hours on Gears 3. Decided to just play the 4 campaign before putting serious time into the horde mode on 5.
I bought an Xbox Series S....kinda run out of stuff to play on Playstation. The lack of PS5 exclusives is biting....played pretty much everything I want to PS4 wise too. As soon as they (finally) release a patch for Call of the Wild I'll be straight back to PlayStation though π
So I've mostly been playing Forza Horizon 4 and Gears of War 4.
Did try Hades also but knew that wasn't going to be for me...the beauty of gamepass!
I enjoyed it, finished the story. Glitch wise, I couldn't get one of the bounty hunters to scan so was locked out of a trophy. So never bothered finding all the secrets in the end.
If you like the modern Tomb Raiders and Star Wars you'll 100% enjoy this imo
Loving this game...I'd been watching MeatEater on Netflix so bought it in a whim. Have never hunted, or fired a gun before but am suddenly obsessed by the thought of hunting! π
Had some 365games loyalty points so got it for Β£36 which wasn't too bad.
Definitely interested in this...Bomberman used to be a permanent fixture in my PC Engine back in the day! Though not played any version newer than the 10 player Saturn game. But I doubt much has changed!
I rented movies quite often on PS4...was always more convenient as I auto log in and have a credit card saved. Guess I'll have to remember my ChiliTV password now!
I searched my ps+ library for a 3rd person time sink and found Darksiders 3....which I deleted in seconds. Next try was Shadow of War which I'm enjoying a lot more!
Katamari Reroll is the only game on my wishlist with a discount...when I'm finished with Resident Evil 2 I may grab it!
The PS5 store generally is terrible I agree. All I've been doing is adding games I'm interested in and then I just check it each week to see if anythings on sale.
I had loads of crashes on PS5, resetting my settings each time annoyed me so much I put in a refund request but heard nothing so after the second patch arrived I started playing again.
Still regular crashes but the settings were fine after each one and the load times so quick I didn't get too bothered. Got really engrossed and unlocked the platinum just before NYE.
Then yesterday the money was refunded...still had no notification/email from Sony. But now I feel quite guilty for getting it back seeing as I finished (and enjoyed it alot).
So I've Β£50 burning a hole in my pocket...maybe I'll buy The Witcher 3?

Re: Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 (PS5) - A Disastrously Paced, Technical Mess of a Sequel
Terrible replay value....yet the trophies expect you to beat it 6 times if you want to get the platinum apparently π
Re: There's Unfinished Business in Robocop: Rogue City's Standalone Expansion on PS5
Loved the original game. Had some loyalty points to spend too so got it pre-ordered for Β£9.49!

Re: Almost 2,000 PS5, PS4 Games Discounted in Behemoth Sale

Re: Poll: Do You Use PS Stars?
I only buy digital games so I've earned and spent a lot of points on store credit.
I don't change my behaviour for the campaigns though.
If I'm going to buy something I just go to the campaigns, click start on everything without seeing what it's for....then if I get a bonus, cool.
It's like any loyalty scheme, ok if it's just a little bonus for doing something you were going to do anyway but not worth chasing the points.
Re: Huge PS Store Black Friday Sale Live Now, 500+ PS5, PS4 Games on Offer
I grabbed Alan Wake 2 Deluxe, Assassin's Creed Mirage and Zombie Soup all for 50% off or more. Will keep me busy til Xmas.
Re: Dead Rising Remaster Adds PS5 Pro Support, Casual Mode
Same. Also I was finding it too hard so will definitely be doing it on casual π€£
Re: Sony Ships 65.5 Million PS5 Consoles, in Line with PS4
That game total is strange...I've bought over 100 myself. A console these days must really be a Fortnite/FIFA box for the vast majority.
Edit misread, thought the games was total not Q2 π
Re: PS5, PS4 Fans Are Worried Cash Rewards Have Been Removed from PS Stars
They've also either lowered the value of the points or made the game rewards even worse.
e.g 5000 points was Β£20 and the games were full RRP so it wasn't worth doing. Now a Β£40/10000pt game like Lollypop Chainsaw is 11250 points.

Re: PS5, PS4 Fans Are Worried Cash Rewards Have Been Removed from PS Stars
I'm not seeing a way to accept the new terms. Even deleted and reinstalled and it didn't prompt me.
Have lost the cash rewards also.
Re: First Astro Bot PS5 Speedrun Level Is Out Tomorrow, the Rest on a Weekly Basis
The master challenge was enough for me. Took me so many attempts to clear, it guaranteed I don't boot the game up again.
Very good game but happy to leave the experience in the past.
Re: In the UK, PS5 Pro Has Already Completely Sold Out
I joined the queue at 9.55...it let me in at 11am and I grabbed a standard pro.
Picked up a dual sense from Amazon just after 10am.
All pretty smooth...knew I had no chance at the pro bundle.
Re: Remnant 2's Final DLC Equips Free Content Update, Boss Rush Mode
I got the platinum playing 100% solo.
Really looking forward to this, boss rush sounds more appealing than the survival mode did in the original too.
Just hope the rng trophies are toned down a bit though, took me 8 hours of running losomn for 1 trophy π
Re: Astro Bot PS5 Credits Indicate DLC Cameo Bots Could Be Inbound
Only challenge level that's been really hard so far for me is the SQUARE one with the lava. That one sucks π
Only just unlocked the X ones though...
Re: PS5, PS4 Ports of Xbox Survival Game Grounded Out Now

Re: Tales of Kenzera: ZAU Also a Day One PS Plus Extra Game, Out 23rd April
Had my fill of Dave the Diver on my steam deck, but definitely interested in Tales of K.
But it reminds me I need to go back to Prince of Persia too!
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for April 2024?
One of those rare months that I won't even add them to library. Might have given Aveum a go if the platinum wasn't annoying.
Picked enough up in the spring sale to keep me occupied for a while anyway.
Re: Talking Point: How Do You Feel About the PS5 Pro?
Day 1 for me, same as the PS4 pro. Then to CeX with my standard console. No matter what the improvements are, they will be improved versions of the games I'd be playing anyway.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Rise of the Ronin?
Yes I'm playing it...loving it too. Finished chapter 1 and 100%ed the first region. Put over 20 hours in this weekend π
Re: Rise of the Ronin PS5 Trophy List Points Towards a Lot of Open World Work
@Jimmer-jammer I wanted to do it but tapped out on the 100% spirits trophies
Re: Rise of the Ronin PS5 Trophy List Points Towards a Lot of Open World Work
Am really interested in this and do love a platinum trophy. Will be waiting for reviews to see how the difficulty is though. My old man skills are usually no match for Team Ninja games. But only doing one mission on hard might be possible, even for me.
Re: Poll: Are You Still Playing Helldivers 2?
I loved it. Got the platinum so stopped playing. Will be back when they add some new content.

Re: Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Dev 'Really Digging' PS5's Next-Gen Controller
Feel the Force (feedback)...until the spring in the trigger breaks after an hour.
Or even better, the spring is fine but the tiny plastic nub that holds it in place breaks π
Afte both things happened playing Harry Potter I'll be turning the feature off for good.
Re: PS3, PS Vita to Remove PS Store Payment Methods
If it keeps the VITA store alive longer I'm all for it. Though it is a little annoying.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 390
Got sucked into No Mans Sky.
Only started playing it for the gamepass challenge, but it's taken hold of me.

Re: Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart (PS5) - Intergalactic Stunner Puts PS5's Power on Display

Re: Deal: PS Plus 12-Month Memberships Now Up to One Third Off
Perfect timing, mines up on the 4th!
Had too many issues with ShopTo, though I stopped using them years ago and they might have improved their customer service.
I'd rather pay the extra 5er and know there won't be any hassle.
Re: PS Plus Users Can Get Capcom Arcade Stadium's Ghosts 'n Goblins for Free
I picked it up alongside game pack 2.
Only played Street fighter 2 so far. Unplayable with the PS5 dpad sadly.
Will get stuck into Carrier Airwing after work!
Re: Talking Point: Would You Buy a PS5 Remake of The Last of Us?
No I would not.
Re: 10 Digital-Only PSP, PS Vita Games to Buy Before the PS Store Closes
I have a shopping list of Vita games.
I'm waiting til nearer the end to see if they get a price slash!
It's a shame, I regularly picked up Vita games. I like to keep my trophy addiction ticking over while the footballs on.
Price cut or not...my future will see many POWGI games picked up the day before the store is killed π
Re: Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order Could Be Coming to PS5
I enjoyed it, finished the story. Glitch wise, I couldn't get one of the bounty hunters to scan so was locked out of a trophy. So never bothered finding all the secrets in the end.

Re: Mini Review: Hunting Simulator 2 (PS5) β An Unexpectedly Tranquil Excursion

Had some 365games loyalty points so got it for Β£36 which wasn't too bad.
Re: Previous Stadia Exclusive Super Bomberman R Online Is Blasting onto PS4

Re: PS Store Discontinues Movie, TV Rentals and Purchases in August

Re: PSN Errors Ongoing for Some PS5, PS4 Players
Only "problem" I've had is synching trophies on the vita has been sloooooooooooow
Re: Huge PS Store Indie Sale Discounts Lots of Smaller PS5, PS4 Games
Oh dear. Nearly everything on my wishlist is discounted pretty heavily.
Could get very expensive π
Re: Soapbox: We Were Here, the Free PS4 Game No One Will Play with Me
I'll play with anyone here who needs a partner.
Since I was the only person on my list who quit Destiny I've been playing purely solo of late!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 362
I searched my ps+ library for a 3rd person time sink and found Darksiders 3....which I deleted in seconds. Next try was Shadow of War which I'm enjoying a lot more!
Also picked up DΓ©racinΓ© in the sale so will be getting the VR headset out tomorrow. Too hungover today π
Re: Destruction AllStars Introduces Daily and Weekly Challenges Just a Day After Launch on PS5
Played a couple of hours. Am probably done tbh.
Carnado is the only mode I enjoy, Gridfall is possibly the least fun I've ever had.
The matchmaking was lopsided quite a lot, very few 8v8 but a lot of 7v4. The courses seem too big too...or maybe the modes should be 10vs10/12v12.
The awards seem weird too. Banked the most gears and got an E, had a stinker of a round and got a gold trophy for an S rank π
Re: Share Your Gaming Stats with Spotify-Esque PlayStation Wrap Up 2020
Just a slowly turning blue wheel for my stats...
Re: Destruction AllStars PS5 Trophies Call for Carnage if You Want That Platinum
Do you play in teams or solo? Might pop the wins trophy for team modes?
If it's fun I may try for it but Fallguys ran out of steam fast and I expect this to be the same.
