I was undecided which version to get, but this has tipped me over to get the digital version. I've booked a week off work just after it releases and can't rearrange it at this stage.
@themightyant I'm about 25 hours in, but have only recently reached one of the second areas, Drakenhold. I am a slow assed gamer, and can typically double those times on HLTB on most games.
Currently playing Unicorn Overlord. Hopefully I'll finish it in time, but don't have the best track record of this when this has happened in the past. 😬
Don't think I ever played this at the time. I remember reading previews in magazines at the time and thought it looked cool, but ended getting something else that came out about the same time.
I've been undecided over this game for years now. I heard someone who loves both games not recommend this on console due to the performance issues. Hopefully this sorts those and it will be finally time to take the plunge.
I loved, loved Returnal. Spent over 100 hours getting thay damn platinum, which is a lot for someone who generally doesn't usually go after those.
I am not sure about getting this on day one though, as I know they tweaked a lot of stuff for Returnal, so may just wait to see what happens with Saros.
1. Battlefield 6 - 111 hours and still playing 2. Lords of the Fallen - 111 hours 3. Lies of P - 79 hours 4. Metaphor: ReFantazio - 74 hours (I played a bunch last year too) 5. Cult of the Lamb - 53 hours and still playing
@charbtronic Yeah it has been great so far. I got the soundbar and then I eventually added some rear speakers and a sub. I like how you have different models depending on your budget. I had an ancient 2.1 system before, so wouldn't have take a great deal to notice an improvement.
@charbtronic I use a mixture of both. Headphones if I game in the mornings (don't wanna be too much of nuisance for my neighbours) or mulitplayer games.
All other times I use my Sonos surround system. It might just be me, but I find that so much more immersive than headphones, which always makes me feel more enclosed.
The new modes do not sound like they are for me, as I prefer the larger scale modes. Good for those that are though and cool the the games is being supported close to launch.
Will the new maps be available for the other modes, or just the new ones?
9/10 for me and I've only played the MP. Played a mixture of Conquest, Breakthrough, Escalation and Rush. One of those modes (Escalation) actually expandes the map a bit and you start further back then is available in Conquest.
I've not got this into a MP for a few years, and can't wait to go home and play it each night!
It can be brutal and some games we have been absolutely destroyed lol. But still enjoy most times regardless of the out come.
The amount you can customise the game is also cool. Yellow enemy indicators FTW!
It has been great so far, although some matches have been brutal. And Support players not reviving even though no enemy troops near by. Don't recall seeing bots, but only played Conquest. Have noticed quite a few squads of clans, who are usually highly ranked.
I bought this on PS4 years ago and never played it. I have an itch to play somthing like this, but totally forget about it. Will be a good time to finally give it a go.
@Jrs1 @Voltan Wasn't the first Alan Wake game remastered not long ago? That version could be played and I don't think the game will take that long to beat, if people wanted to.

Re: Hardware Review: RIG R5 Spear Pro HS - Entry Level PS5 Headset Has Surprisingly Great Audio
@Th3solution Only used the for an hour so last night, but there already seems to be a noticeable improvement on my previous headset.
Mind you there was a substantial update to Battlefield 6 yesterday, so might have something to do with that.
