I have never used the cards and now seem to get 'banner blindness' from them where I instinctively ingore them.
My biggest gripe by far of the new UI is not being able to put the PS5 to sleep without having to look at the screen. On the PS4 you could hold down the PS button and press X twice and it was off. One the PS5, the selected item on that bottom row of icons is always different so you can't intuitively / blindly go to the power settings. It's a small thing but pissed me off every time.
@Elodin JC3 was just fun and quite tongue in cheek in its story and gameplay. 4 took itself a bit too seriously and the map was just a bit cold, dark and depressing - a bit like how GTA 4 felt in comparison to others. Also the missions we're really boring and repetitive. The only plus point I would give 4 is that the load times were much better and should be great on a PS5.
Happened to me last night playing GTA V online for a few hours. Thought it was the PlayStation checking the correct disc was still in the machine.
I can see why it would... back in the early 2000s we used to be able to get 6 Macs on a LAN to all run Medal of Honour by force ejecting the disc after it had loaded and sharing between housemates!
I've only played about 2 hours of it so far, but it feels a bit claustrophobic compared to WD2 - the tall buildings make everything feel very enclosed.
Combat is a bit annoying too - when you're in a scrap and you need to flee in a car, triangle throws an uppercut instead of opening the car door. I'll obviously give it more time but I don't have that "must continue playing it now" feeling I got with the second.
@thefourfoldroot I would be very very surprised if the buttons on the remote were mappable - media companies pay an absolute fortune to have their name there.
Stupid question, but if I just bought the PS4 version with no intention of playing it on a PS4, would you be presumably getting the same game for the PS5 but for a bit cheaper?
@Danloaded I guess there are new people getting into gaming as they grow up every day and GTA V is such a classic with such longevity with regards to gameplay. They've been marketing it a lot recently too. That being said it's still incredible that it's a top 10 seller after all these years.
To be fair I actually think Far Cry does change it up a lot. The gameplay is kind of similar (which is a plus as far as I'm concerned) but the settings and locations are all over the place (again, in a good way). FC2 remains my favourite - something about the African drumming soundtrack that sticks with me.

Does Hitman 2 have multiplayer still?
I've read it did but also saw somewhere the servers had been switched off.

Re: Weird PS5 Game Abandoned Delays Trailer App to Friday
@bimboliquido yeah, and using sentence case in the article titles would make distinguishing the game title from the story title a little easier 🤔
Re: When Is the Square Enix Presents Livestream?
@OrigamiCrane I got excited when I read Just Cause, and then lost all excitement when I read mobile.
Re: UK Sales Charts: Hitman 3 Physical Sales Exceed Hitman 2, Half of Sales on PS5

Re: Poll: Do You Actually Play Your PS Plus Games?
From memory, Hitman, Detroit Being Human and Resident Evil 1 are the only PS+ games I've got into and played to completion.
Re: December 2020 PS Plus Games Are Available to Download Now
@Rash nah it's just a pretty crap game compared to 3.

Re: December 2020 PS Plus Games Are Available to Download Now
I paid a fortune for the full fat Super Gold Deluxe Just Cause 4 (or whatever it was called) because I enjoyed 3 so much. Never been so disappointed.

@SirAngry yeah the shot of the barn coming up on the left looked particularly poor imo.

Re: How Well Do You Know Naughty Dog?
1/10. To answer the question in the article title: 'obviously not very well'
