Topic: PlayStation 5 --OT--

@velio84 Have a record of your password somewhere so you can look it up in around 6 years time when you come to move onto a new console.

The risk of someone breaking into your house and reading your diary is negligible. But the risk forgetting your password over the years is significant.

@Iver Yeah same. On both fronts.

Where am I? What was I saying?

Rainbow Six Extraction is currently the highest rated PS5 game of this year.

@Iver I can only imagine what it would have been like without the great Kraken compression. I kind of shudder to think of that actually, and this will be one of the rare exclusives that actually can't fully fit on the UHD disc. If it ends up being that large in the end of course, as these estimates can change and end up being slightly smaller once the game launches.

@Voltan just goes to show how subjective reviews can be... almost all the review thumb nails for it I've seen have suggested it's pretty bad (in fairness, I didn't click on any of them to actually watch the review though).

@colonelkilgore Did you click the link though?
It’s also the lowest rated one… because it’s currently the only entry on the list

@Voltan ah 🤣 I gotcha.

@velio84 Sounds good to me!
I don’t see it shared in any of my usual spaces yet though.

@velio84 Not too bad. I’d definitely play A Short Hike. The other two, probably not, but they seem decent enough quality for other people to enjoy. Didn’t I read something recently about them pulling the online support for Watch Dogs Legion? Or was that something else? 🤔

@Th3solution For Watch Dogs: Legion, they are just done doing any updates or any more new content for the game. If there are online servers for it (haven't played it to know), they will still be online.

@velio84 I did try and play one of the previous Watch Dogs instalments and quickly got bored. Don’t know if Legion is any better! I tried the Outriders demo and didn’t particularly enjoy it either so looks like it’s A Short Hike for me if that selection is correct.

@Th3solution @KilloWertz Yeah, done with new content but not shut down. The article also said it would cycle through old seasonal content for the online part.

outriders could be fun.

i realy appreciate that despite it being a co op game,you can get the platinum playing solo.

I guess they'll be announcing them this Wednesday?

@Voltan yep. shame it's not been leaked yet though.
since the current rumor is not a leak.

@velio84 That is actually a decent set of games there if true, especially for me as I've not got any for once.

I had the demo for Outriders installed for an age but still yet to give it a go. I think there was an update fairly recently which made some big changes to the game, and I'm not sure if the demo reflects that or not.

Looks like an OS update is imminent: the Android PS App seems to have been updated with support for access to automatically uploaded captures from the console (a feature that has been in beta in Canada and Japan). The iOS app - not yet, at least not for me

Edit: I guess it might not be an update? People are saying it’s already working for them in some regions.

Hey, guys and gals… I asked this question way back at the beginning of my time with my PS5, but never tried it until just the other day so I’ve forgot — anyone have any luck with charging their DualSense with a phone charger? Specifically an iPhone charger? Best I could find online was to use a charging brick with 5V and at least 1.5 Amp to plug the USB-C into and it should charge fine. The orange charging lights around the touchpad don’t light up when I plug in the DualSense to my standard iphone charger. It charges fine from my PS5.

@Th3solution I've never managed to get a single cable to work either. However, the dual usb-c cable that came with venom rechargeable battery pack for series x/s controller works, I have no idea why!! I just know that I can charge my series and dualsense controller at the same time from one plug (in these fractured community times, i wonder if thats an image that should be shared 😂). I don't know if venom just sell the cable but it might be something to look at.

@Th3solution I just use the Switch Pro Controller’s cable. Works a treat.
