@batwing47 after installing the update my ps5 then restarted as it does after an update but the blue lights kept flashing for ages. It wouldn't go to the on white light. I tried to put it into safe mode but wouldn't get past the blue light. Tried a hard reset with the plugs to no avail. Rang Sony and straight away was sent a return label. I've just packed it up and posted it.
I'm already playing it on ps5 and it's gorgeous without the update. I'm level 100 that's how much I love it and looking forward to see what more the update gives.
Original Nier on the PS3 still is one of my all time favourite games. Played all the endings and loved every minute. Always wanted to play it again so can't wait.
Nah I found the enemies like the first game generic and predictable, stupid and boring. Respawn like far cry before you clear an area so annoying so will give it a miss.
Well I couldn't play it as prompted me to buy ps plus even though the demo was listed with all free to play. Do probably not even bother now and continue playing defiance 2050.
Hope it comes out soon as I've started to question my gaming days retirement looming close because of the disastrous show of games from all of last year. The last good game was God of War that I can really say I enjoyed.
Not much advertising and marketing for this so will be cheap soon. Could be fun and worth a play later. Knowing me I will probably rate it highly and it will turn out to be excellent.
Well I have to say regardless of the odd bugs and animation woes, I'm actually having a great time at last playing a good game. Yes there is a lot of room for improvement but this game actually has a lot of good things. Gun play is good and weapons feel nice. The story is good and there's plenty to keep you busy. Graphics on the pro 4k HDR TV are fantastic. The sound is the best I've heard in any game for a long time and the light banter from the characters are refreshing. Lastly this game has me wanting to play any time I get not like borefest games I've played recently. 8/10 for me
I have this preordered and have been looking forward to it for months but looks very worrying indeed. If this turns out to be another big let down, I will be seriously contemplating hanging up my controllers for good and try and enjoy the rest of my retirement watching movies instead.
Absolutely amazing graphics in this game on the pro HDR. So realistic and the best I've seen so far with accurate 4k HDR presentation. Check my screen shot here: https://1drv.ms/i/s!AmPr1ZCjAGEwo2Suq6nxy88rT_Fe
Well I'm the minority here as I am pretty disappointed with the game so far. The prologue was boring and seemed pointless. I had high expectations what with all the hype. Graphics are good but on my 4k TV I found it looked better with HDR turned off. I thought Ghost Recon Wildlands looked better with the 4k HDR . I played another couple hours and killed countless robots and collected countless plants and bits n bobs, killed the bigger robot before I got bored and turned it off.
Well I dumped DS3 and started playing MGS5 again but now I'm playing the Ghost Recon beta and loving it. Wasn't on my radar but getting it soon as completed Horizon zero dawn. Or even just play them at same time.
I haven't been on here for a wile so here's my update. Playing fallout 4 and Skyrim now and again but tend to get bored if I play too much. Started playing MGS 5 and that's really good. Bought Nioh and was really enjoying that until 3rd boss and rage quit and sold the game. Which I regret now lol. Now playing DS3 on the ps4 after already completed on the xbox1 on release. Glutton for punishment I am.
I myself have cut down on buying games on release. Too many games failed to live up to expectations and simply a waste of time and money. I tend to play long lasting games now like Skyrim to keep me happy and save my money. There is a lot of good games out this year which I will keep a close eye on. The Nier sequel looked very promising but after playing the demo I will be giving that game a miss. The game industry has gone sour in my book.
I just want to add the fishing is pretty close to real. It took me 20 mins real time fighting to land this fish, sweating that the line didn't break lol
Fantastic game for newcomer's and since putting the disc in release day, it has not came out. I will probably sell the disc and buy digital in the psn Xmas sale. I don't buy season passes normally but this will be an exception.
Luckily I bought Deus ex mankind divided from shopto at £34.85. I hated the first hour that I took it to cex the next day. Got £35 cash back. That was because it was a bargain at shopto that I didn't lose any money. If I had of bought it from the store I would be over £50 out of pocket with a game I never want to play. Now I only buy from the store if it's a mega discount like Hard-line for less than £4! Psn store new releases are a ripoff. It's common sense really. If you have money to burn then go ahead. If they had a decent refund policy or try before you buy or even a sell your digital content back to Sony, then yeah fill your boots.
It's not much smaller and anyway I'm not convinced this is going to run cooler. If I'm going to upgrade then will be the neo. This seems pointless to me.
What I have seen in gameplay vids this is a must for me. Really enjoyed the first and improvement to combat has been implemented. My copy is on it's way.

Re: PS5 Is Coming, Sony Confirms
I should have gone to computer gaming years ago at least then I could have just upgraded it instead of buying new consoles.

It's a fantastic game and I'm enjoying it immensely so any improvement is most welcome.
