Good thing they keep supporting it, but this stuff makes me not buy/play games in their first months. I have the game laying in front of me, but always have the feeling it will be better if I wait a bit longer. It shouldn’t be like that, it should actually be fulfilling to play games on launch and supporting the devs.

@Fandabidozi2025 You’re talking about Mass Effect, right? (I also mentioned Resident Evil 4)

@Fandabidozi2025 I bought that legendary edition trilogy last year. Tried the first game twice for a little while, but couldn’t get into the old mechanics. I still feel there’s lot to discover though.

Platinumed Cyberpunk 2077. Now dived into Resident Evil 4 Remake. It almost felt like a chore, sitting on my backlog for ages, but I’m really enjoying it a lot at the moment!

“Adding value”? It’s quite easy to see there are less valuable games on there than in the beginning. They pulled people into Extra in the opening months with AAA games such as Demon’s Souls and Returnal but since then the value kept on diminishing while the prices have gone drastically up, meaning the value went down.

Definitely Death Stranding 2. I’m always running a year or so behind though, so I’m still looking forward to the likes of Stellar Blade, FF7 Rebirth, Shadow of the Erdtree, Silent Hill 2 and AC Shadows.

I guess this will be announced quite soon as a fantastic addition to PS Plus on Push Square.

@nomither6 I was being serious.

Nothing on Starfield? That’s the only Xbox title I’m interested in for PS5.

@IntrepidWombat Nice, enjoy! A new tv can make all the difference.

Decided to go for that ultra-fast-skipping-all-dialogue extra playthrough of Cyberpunk since I missed out on platinum by one trophy after 150 hours.

Also decided to go full in on Alan Wake by buying AW Remastered, Control Ultimate Edition and AW 2 Deluxe Edition, all together for € 42 in the current sale.

All this polarization is so tiring and I think PushSquare triggers it by calling everything Sony does “brilliant”. Read the room. There’s a middle ground here and in this article on viewing numbers there’s no need at all for opinions.

For me this doesn’t work at all. It gives me the feeling PS is not entirely independent which makes me distrust the actual reviews.

Nice, I have some screen.

@Dragon83 thanks

@Dragon83 Do you by any chance know how doable it is to do a really quick run to only get the “The Devil” trophy? I’m still in my first run, halfway through Phantom Liberty now, but I didn’t make the save so now I’m missing platinum by one trophy.

I don’t feel like investing a lot more time, but if a few sessions on Easy with skipping all dialogue gets me platinum I want to go for it.

@J2theEzzo Thanks for explaining! I don’t have/want PS Plus and I have no connections on PSN, so I guess I’ll stick to the regular Elden Ring

Somehow I still can’t really figure out what kind of game this is. I do absolutely love the slower exploration of Elden Ring, same as the first comment above. However, Returnal with all its cycles/runs is one of my all time favorite games. Is it anything like that?

And still the most important question: Is it a good single player game? Can I even play it without being subscribed to PS Plus? Will it hold for the next years, or am I dependent on the number of other players playing it at the same time?

I know I can Google these questions, but there seems to be no consensus.

After 125 hours I found out I can’t get the last Cyberpunk 2077 trophy to reach platinum because I didn’t save some guy early in the game. Oh well. Just finishing Phantom Liberty now.

After that I have a small backlog on my Pro to choose from: Expedition 33, Resident Evil 4 and Bloodborne. I also have that DS2 itch though…

@SeanOhOgain Thanks!

@SeanOhOgain Doesn’t ship internationally unfortunately

Big Elden Ring fan here, but multiplayer is a definite no go. I don’t even have connections on PSN.

@SeanOhOgain The remastered game for PS5? Which sites are they? I was slightly tempted by the € 30 but would certainly pull the trigger at € 20.

@Oz_Who_Dat_Dare I can understand that, but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s a promotion to gain new subscribers. It’s not the regular price you pay every year. I see both arguments, I’m just a bit surprised how people feel they’re entitled to it.

This is so disappointing, game wise. I was looking forward to this sale for months, but from my wishlist only TLOU Part 2 has dropped the usual € 10. No AC Shadows, no Shadow of the Erdtree, no Silent Hill 2, Stellar Blade, FF7 Rebirth…

At least I can pick up my chroma pearl controller for € 20 off.

I bought last year’s entry a few months ago and have barely touched it. I’m still halfway through my F2 season. It’s so boring and sterile, I can’t get bothered to even reach F1.

Never understood this criticism. Yes, I get you want to save money, but it’s a promotion to gain new subscribers. They’d be crazy if they would suddenly ask you to pay less when you already committed to pay. This has worked like this for decades for pretty much all subscriptions.

Good diverse lineup for a change. I’d be most interested in NBA if I were subscribed. Somehow I always end up buying those games without really playing them a lot though. You need to remember so many button combinations that it’s hard to get back into after a break.

I’m playing daily on my PS and never even looked into this.

@Almost_Ghostly I see, thanks! This is probably different in the Netherlands. I don’t see these options in the webshops. It might have to do with our European customer protection rules that are forced automatically, I’d imagine.

@Almost_Ghostly Good suggestion (the second one 🤪). I never saw that option though? Or do you buy it separately (not at the store)?

I set my eyes on the chromapearl controller, hope it will get a good discount.

After a lovely trip to Cost Rica the last weeks I’ll now round off the base game of Cyberpunk 2077. Just a few more trophies to get platinum. After that I’ll probably dive straight into Phantom Liberty now I’ve had a break from the game.

Amazing piece of hardware and I really enjoyed it for a few months. Sold it though because I found myself playing it less and less and always starting up the regular PS5 (Pro). It’s just too much of a hassle to set everything up and rebuild my living room every time.

@SMJ Definitely! One of my favorites. I don’t even need missions to enjoy myself, just the whole experience of lifting off in a big spaceship and traveling to/discovering this endless list of planets never gets old.

Nice! Spend 250 hours with it on my Series X (which I sold since then) and I was far from being done! I hope it will be optimized for the Pro.

@rjejr Same. Not a huge bother for me, but less scrolling/clicking would be better.

@John_Deacon You say when the price goes up, but it doesn’t. It’s the same price as 25-30 years ago. And that’s without calculating in inflation.

For the rest, I agree that games should be finished on release, as I said. That’s the main reason why I don’t buy games on release; later on I’ll have a better version. The price has nothing to do with that though.

@John_Deacon I don’t see why that price is “outrageous”. It’s bad that they release games that aren’t totally finished, I agree. But that’s another discussion and has nothing to do with the price. If it costed 10 bucks it would still be annoying and bad.

@nessisonett Even then it’s still 0% inflation in roughly 30 years. That’s quite insane actually.

Would be really interesting if it got a full-on PS5 Pro mode.

So this is a digital only release for PS5? Still have to buy/play it.

I absolutely love it. Not having to choose anymore between fps and graphics/ray tracing is the game changer. TLOU Part 1 almost had me drooling. The huge internal space is a benefit as well, although I mainly only install the games I want to play (next).

I can’t seem to find the PS Store sale on Amazon.

Definitely the diversity. Setting and basic setup were great, it just got a bit tedious towards the end. I have high hopes for this game though. They probably won’t fall for the “bigger = better” approach, this game really doesn’t need a bigger map.

Damn. Wished I didn’t finish it twice already.

So we probably get one more small sale now and then the Days of Play by the end of May?

Should be a fun game, like GTA V, but definitely not one of the games I'm looking forward to the most. I'm perfectly fine by playing it in two years time or so after a promotion.

Rounding off the last side missions and NCPD missions before going into endgame (roof scene) with Cyberpunk.

@ATaco Somewhere around the end of May we’ll have the Days of Play with probably discounts on Plus.

F: I already have a Pro.
