Re: Now Your PS5 Is a Bona Fide KORG Synthesiser

Wonder if this will support usb keyboards e.g. Akai mini plus or at least support mouse and keyboard...
Could be fun... I use Ableton and Reason for my music production currently so this will need to be accessible to be of any use...

Re: Poll: Are You Playing Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii?

Finished Lost Judgement Wednesday night ready for my pre-order to come today. Only Royal Mail decided not to deliver. It was shipped on Wednesday from Hit.co.uk (pre-ordered at £39.85) so hopefully it'll come tomorrow.
Meantime I'll continue with the school side quests in LJ (Judgement and Lost Judgement are both fantastic games and I can highly recommend them).

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Sniper Elite: Resistance?

The_Rascal

Played the first few levels last weekend, I liked it . Agreed with the 7/10 score.
Maps seem big enough... Took me 2 hours to clear each one, but I did keep getting invaded which slowed me down somewhat until I turned the setting off. Not as engaging as Lost Judgement tho, so I find myself booting that up instead...

Re: PSN Down as PS5, PS4 Players Can't Log In or Play Online

The_Rascal

Ps app shows 8 of my friend online... Several us/Canada based and couple in the UK...
Won't let me add anything to my wishlist tho and still won't load games I've played.
At least I'll be able to play my disc based Lost Judgement tomorrow if it's still down.. well, fingers crossed at least 🤞

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 565

The_Rascal

Plugging my way through the excellent Judgement... Fantastic story in a very familiar setting (if you've played the Yakuza series at least). Not sure if I will get the plat tho as the requirements for 100% of the completion list contain 3 lots of mahjong... And I don't understand mahjong 😅
Fab game and really recommend it to anyone who likes an RPG.

Re: Unfortunately, PS5's Disc Drive Add-On Shortage Doesn't Seem to Be Getting Better

The_Rascal

I still can't fathom the thinking behind not including one with the pro, extra money aside. As, I believe, the most popular base PS5 was the disc based version. Surely Sony can see the potential customer preference for a drive based system... I guess they just chose to ignore it and then proceeded to drop the ball on ensuring there was enough stock to cover the pro sales.
I bought one from HMV when the pro was announced, thinking that I could sell it on (not at scalp rates) if I didn't get a pro... Ended up getting fomo with the pro and picked one up anyway 😅

Re: Game of the Year: #1 - Astro Bot

The_Rascal

Good game indeed, need to finish the very last level for plat, but too hard for my slow reactions 😅 (damn flying birds can get stuffed!)
Hopefully Sony will take note that the players do indeed like this sort of game and will sanction a new Ratchet game! 🙏🙏

Re: Game of the Year: Best PS5 RPG of 2024

The_Rascal

Loved LaD:IW and 167 hours later got the plat last night, but do understand where the other commenters are coming from. Played the whole series this year (except Judgement and LJ, still to do those) and still think that 0, 6 & gaiden hit harder.
Well deserved gold medal tho 👍

Re: Poll: What Are Your Gaming Plans for the Holidays?

The_Rascal

Broke up from work yesterday and not back till the 6th Jan... Never had so much time off over Christmas!
I'll be finishing LAD:IW (on chapter 12 now, got the donduku island stuff to finish too). Once that's platted I'm gonna to restart Cyberpunk I think, not played it since release... In between that I'll be getting stuck into some Astrobot on VR1 and Moss 2 on VR2.
Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays all 🌲

Re: How to Pre-Order PS5's 30th Anniversary Collection

The_Rascal

Managed to get myself a standard Pro this morning, thought I'd check the direct website again when I got home and saw that the 30th edition portals were still available, so bagged one of those aswell.
Both pads are OOS, but standard Pros and 30th ed Portals are in stock (UK at least )
