I bought a disc drive as soon as they announced the pro from Argos, they had loads in stock….day later all gone. Don’t know if I’ll end up using it, was going to give it to my wife to give me for Christmas
@KyushuTrail I’m sure there’s a skill to have after you block with the umbrella that does good damage after. It’s been a long time since I beat sekiro but I’m sure there’s some good videos on YouTube showing how to use it properly
Finally got my immortals of Aveum platinum yesterday and really enjoyed my time with it. Think I’ll dust off my Xbox today and play the black ops 6 campaign on gamepass
Continuing my playthrough of Immortals of Aveum and I’m having an absolute blast. Such a shame it didn’t find an audience as it’s a really good first game
@nessisonett to be honest the ps4 was pretty great so was always going to be a small jump to ps5. For me the biggest jump was the frame rate boost and the SSD. Its a shame that only really Astrobot has taken the gaming experience to a new level by its fantastic Dualsense use.
@LiamOliver 30th anniversary gear and standard pro keeps coming in and out of stock in the uk. Keep checking I managed to bag a 30th anniversary edge about 30mins ago
It’s a 10 simple as that, loved every minute. Finally got my platinum today, been taking my time as didn’t want it to end. I will say the last master level took me a good half an hour to beat
I said back in May when Xbox was in trouble that no competition will end up hurting us Playstion fans and it’s happens sooner than I though PS5 pro £700 Its only going to get worse from here imagine what the PS6 will cost
Still one of the most unnerving experiences I’ve ever had playing a horror game such a shame we didn’t get the full silent hills experience. The teaser they released a while after pt looked amazing I think it was a silent hills concept footage from TGS
@Mikey856 it’s back for me, try clicking on your profile. Mine wasn’t working when I clicked the stars icon but when I went into my profile it appeared
@Flaming_Kaiser sekiro is my hardest platinum it made Elden ring feel easy to me. Your right and have to be in the right mindset to play souls games and I’m not feeling it at the minute
@get2sammyb I would buy it in a heartbeat. I can’t believe Sony still hasn’t copied the Xbox designer lab for their controllers they would make a killing if people could make their own bespoke dualsense’s
@Daft_Klebenflw I’ve build quite a few PC’s in my day but got sick of the constant upgrading and updating. I prefer a much simpler life nowadays with console gaming. I wish valve cared more about multiplatform these days, I’m sure Sony will of asked to port HLA to psvr2 but they don’t care about making money on other platforms because they make a killing on steam.
@nessisonett I think it was Garry Whitta, I don’t know if she had some part in writing. I know she’s heavily involved in the new Captain America black panther game coming soon
@Deljo do you know Bruce and Amy personally? Neither have released a game in the last decade and I’m sure it’s alll Mr Druckman’s fault for that too! It’s fine not to like somebody’s work but to spout speculation like it’s fact is just plain wrong. Get over it and move on and don’t give Naughty Dog your money in the future
@OneWingedAngel I refer it as seeing themselves as a monopoly so they can do what they want and charge what they want seeing as they have the overwhelming market share. Good competition like the 360 was to the PS3 resulted in us getting arguably Sonys best console in the PS4. Their near total silence just says to me they don’t have to do anything special to keep us as gamers and it worries me that’s what they’ll do
@nomither6 what was wrong with the PS3 🤔
Cell architecture, launched a year late and probably the worst $599
Time will tell, Xbox have done this to themselves they should never of put first party games day 1 on gamepass and should of stuck to buying developers and not publishers
Going to run the Pantheon on Destiny 2 or at least try to. It’s so hard getting a raid team together now that a lot of my old crew have fell off. The fireteam finder isn’t great for raids as everyone who joins only wants to add clear 😩
Absolutely loved returnal and it’s still one of my hardest platinums. It would take me some time to get back to my skill level I had when I played it back in 2021
It takes two is one of my favourite games, I replay it once a year with my son and we swap roles each time. I still play with a massive goofy grin on my face, fourth replay coming up closer to Christmas so hopefully will know by then what they’re doing next. Also planning a replay of a way out soon too as it’s been a few years since we played that.
@Pranwell I played fallout 3 to death and burnt myself out so never got around to playing new vegas or 4 but it’s been quite a few years since I played so I might give it a go
@Matroska I don’t have an option to purchase I'm sure I got it from the ps5 instant game collection so might work differently to the ps plus extra version as that is temporary. I guess we will see when it launches

Re: Pacific Drive Gets Photo Mode, New Customisation Options, More in Free Update
Needs a 60fps mode not an uneven 30fps, I would even take a 40fps mode. Played 20mins never touched it since

Re: Astro Bot Looks Absolutely Glorious, Lands on PS5 This September
@DonkeyFantasy I would pay £70 in a heartbeat for Astrobot. Pure joy is priceless
Re: Poll: What Did You Think of Sony's State of Play for May 2024?
Truly awful state of play completely redeemed by Astrobot! Can’t wait to have a big stupid grin on my face playing it 😝

Re: Founders, Long-Time Employees Reportedly Say Xbox Now Effectively Microsoft Gaming
@nomither6 there’s a reason Sony is becoming big headed again and that’s because Xbox have been terrible competition since the Xbox one

Re: Founders, Long-Time Employees Reportedly Say Xbox Now Effectively Microsoft Gaming
@nomither6 I remember the PS3 and what big headed Sony was like. Healthy competition means everyone wins
Re: Founders, Long-Time Employees Reportedly Say Xbox Now Effectively Microsoft Gaming
This could be bad for us PlayStation gamers as no competition will lead to a complacent Sony. Xbox needs to get their s**t together
