General PS5 Stuff

That’s not a great solution. It’ll be quite limited in range and you’ll get sound lag. I attempted this when I got my Portal and it’s a no go.

The amp in the controller isn't great, and won't properly power any high impedance headphones. It's a lot better than the PS4 controller in that regard, and something with a lower impedance will work and give a decent result, but you won't be getting the best out of expensive headphones going that route.

Then you've also got the problem of your partner going mental, because the adaptive triggers are making a noise. CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK.

But, that way, Sony wouldn't be able to get rid of any remaining original stock...

Ah see that was my original plan as I'll be close enough to the PS5 most of the time. will double check how that goes later, but at least if I want to go elsewhere in the house I have a wired option too, so all good. 

Yeah I've tried and it's pretty much spot on. I always notice on lip syncing too usually but if there is a delay it's so negligible I can't pick it up.

From a visual and artistic perspective it always looked like a PS4 game, a drab one at that too.

(Caveat: I didn't actually watch the video, I wanna go in as blind as possible)

Tbh if I was basing my opinion of, say, Nioh on just the first two hours or so, I dunno how positive I'd be either... They're still pretty good, but a lot of the mechanics and equipment/skill options are mostly locked away, the rest can still feel complicated because you're still getting used to them, most of the annoying roadblock bosses (Yatsu, Umi-bozu, even Hino-Enma and Enenra) are early on, and they are that bad in part because you don't have that many options... They're a tougher sell than you'd expect looking back after you've done at least one NG, even if they're awesome games on the whole.

Based on my experiences, an "only decent" Team Ninja game is basically like an only decent [insert your favourite food here] for me for the most part; I'd still pick it over a good few other choices. Fingers crossed this doesn't turn into a case of famous last words

I hope you're right, Junior, but I'm still a tad deflated by what I've seen and read this evening.

Oh, well!

Not long to wait until full reviews come out, followed in short order by the game itself - we'll soon know what's what.

Yeah but knowing me, I’ll be gone by then. hahahha

Yeah just watched cowboys video and… yeah. I’m still going dragons dogma over this. Like him, Nioh 2 is my favourite non From souls like. There’s just nothing new here. Everything it does looks to have been done better in other games. I’m not a graphics whore either but, well, it’s not that nice looking is it. Check the horrendous tiled textures visible in the glider parts of the video. The world looks lifeless.

Nioh 3 and I would have jumped right in. Instead we get the inferior Wo Long and now this ☹️

I've never played Dragon's Dogma 1. Worth picking up?

The person from vg24/7 (who is a huge nioh fan) really wasn't keen. Said it felt more like a far cry icon bloat box ticking game. Said the combat is as good as ever but gets quite lost in all the unnecessary crap.
