@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.
@MFTWrecks Yeah I agree. As much as I loved the game, getting the Platinum was such ball ache. I usually give up Platinum trophies when they are like that, but Returnal was so damn good to play, I couldn't stop myself.
Can't wait for this, could even be a rare day one purchase for me.
I've got a small lamp which makes the PS1 startup sound when switched on. Currenlty resides under my PS5 in my TV stand, next to two other PS themed lamps. #notafanboy
Loved Control, technical issues aside on PS4. I never did play the Ultimate edition when came to PS Plus with the dlc, as I had only recently completed the game and there is no way to transfer your saves.
Hmmmm, didnt realise the director was the map designer for Dark Souls. To date that is my favourite designed world in these games. Still, I shall wait until reviews as I've had a mixed history with rogue lites/likes and games designed with co-op play at the forefront.
I'm the same as @Member_the_game, and am unable to stack subscriptions. Last time the dates did not align, I bought 3 months or monthly subscriptions and then let it expire when they were on sale.
I enjoyed what I played of the first game, albeit only the first couple of hours. Hopefully will get back to that soon, and if I end up liking it till the end, this will be on my radar.
Usually do the PS+ stuff for coins and have gotten a few 5 quid vouchers. I don't buy that many games these days so don't accumulate a great deal of points.
This is the one game I was gutted I wouldn't get to play when MS bought the studio, so am glad it is coming to PS5. Will see about playing the DLC's for the first game as i think they are on PS Plus.
I am torn on this. As much as I love Elden Ring, I don't really play games in co-op (I'm not a chicken first off) and my history with roguelites/likes has been mixed.
And I'm not sure i really want to face The Nameless King again.
Fextralife have a decent video explaining stuff in a bit more detail.
I enjoyed this what I played of it, but took a couple of breaks from and struggled to get back into. Also thought it introduced too many gameplay elements, and gave up when they introduced eggs and chickens. 😂

@AdamNovice I think Hogwarts Legacy was the best selling game of the year that came and not CoD.

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.

Re: Battlefield 6 Is a Smash Hit in First Sales Report, Selling Best on PS5
@PrettyPawsome Yeah that was a cool one, running through the nests with a flame thrower was awesome!
Re: Battlefield 6 Is a Smash Hit in First Sales Report, Selling Best on PS5
Had a few games yesterday and it feels like older BF games to me. Has me hooked.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Battlefield 6?
Waiting to see how the multiplayer holds up and maybe getting it at some point.
Been burnt too many times, so am wary of jumping in so near launch.

Re: Last Chance to Get These 64+ PS5, PS4 Games in PS Store's Ready Set Play Sale
I will most likely get Alan Wake 2 Deluxe Edition as it is under 20 quid, and I have some PS store credit.

Re: Poll: Did the PSN Outage Ruin Your Gaming Plans Over the Weekend?
I didn't even notice until Saturday afternoon when the welcome hub thingy was FUBAR. I was still able to play Ender Lillies so it was all good for me.
