Check back for games bought on a whim that turn out to be shite, along with occasional useful general PS5 info.

Do we need a thread for when PS5s are in stock, so that we don't have to visit the hatesite that just cast us all out like lepers

Noisy PS5 Disk DriveI'm yet to try the above but I believe someone on the old forum did. This time next week I'll hopefully be installing Ghost Of Tsushima director's cut. It's my first pre order in years and didn't play the original release.

Anyone tried the SSD expansion yet? And if so, how much and how difficult.

I've got the beta and really want to buy one, but can't justify doing it when I've got a fair bit of space on the thing at the moment.
Maybe I should start liking Call of Duty for a week.

Having finished Ratchet & Clank over the weekend (although I need to do some grinding to get one weapon to level 5 for the last trophy) I've just started F1 2021.
I've not done much proper racing yet, but have started the Braking Point story mode thing. Hats off to Code masters for trying to include something like this.
I'm still do find my sweet spot in terms of difficulty - it either seems to be laughably easy or me needing to drive perfectly to have a chance of a decent result...

I'm still do find my sweet spot in terms of difficulty - it either seems to be laughably easy or me needing to drive perfectly to have a chance of a decent result... The best bet to get the difficulty right is to set up a few quick races with cars set to equal performance and run qualifying a few times, adjusting the difficulty until you're 0.1-0.3 seconds up on the next best opponent when you've done a good lap. The difficulty does vary a bit from track to track as there's a bit of a bug at the moment making AI cars go flat out through certain corners, but I've found 95 to be my sweet spot on a pad this year that works pretty well on every track other than Monaco, which always seems to need turning right down when you come to it. |

After buying and not really playing guilty gear strive on pc… I decided to rebuy it on ps5. Sometimes I wonder about my thought processes in making these decisions.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll give it a try tonight |

These bloody controllers ! The start button on one controller stopped working suddenly and the spring for the adaptive trigger has gone on another. I don't think I've had a controller fail on me in 30+ years of gaming.
I suppose the spring can be fixed with a YouTube tutorial or such but that seems to involve more patience than I may have nowadays.

I'm tempted to get another controller just so that I have a spare for when my one inevitably fucks up and has to be sent back to sony. They seem to be badly in need of a revision or two.

Scarlet Nexus is 29.99 on PSN atm. Has anyone actually played it? The gameplay itself looks pretty good but im not massively keen on five minutes of game time for every 30 minutes of cutscenes since the last game I played was TLOU2.

Is Doom Eternal PS5 at less than 14 quid as much of a no brainer as it sounds?

I've tried to play Eternal twice and I just think it's a bit shit. Even at 14 quid.
I loved the first game.

I suppose the spring can be fixed with a YouTube tutorial or such but that seems to involve more patience than I may have nowadays. Seems a bit weird quoting myself but fixing the trigger with a new spring took about ten minutes so well worth a go for a few quid for a bag of replacement springs. |

Managed to bag myself a PS5 for the young 'uns Christmas thanks to XCloud and the hotstock app on my first attempt. There I am playing Like a Dragon on my phone when up pops the notification that Smyths have stock. Few clicks later and all done. I couldn't believe how easy it was given how they've been like hen's teeth, maybe things are getting better. I was all geared up for checking websites at 2am in the run up to the big day too.

Hotstock and Smyths were how I got my series X at the beginning of the year. Bloody great when it works!

OK, so little Ork's Christmas is sorted. I would like to get him PS+ with the current offer that's ongoing because all he's been playing lately is PvZ, so I'm thinking I'll redeem that for him plus whatever drops between now and the big day and he'll have a little library ready to go.
Now, my question is, his account is a child account of mine and I want to buy the GoT and Maneater DLCs this month and buying say, £50 of credit is cheaper than buying 2x £25. So, if I stick £50 (or whatever) in my parent account, will I be able to use £25 of it on his PS+ and then use the rest on myself?
By the way I am fully aware that the correct response is, if I set his console as primary then he can use all my stuff. But I have multiple users who use the 'main' PlayStation who would then be locked out of anything I'd bought.

Had my first ever freeze up playing Axiom Verge, pad unresponsive. Had to hold the off button.
