@JohnnyShoulder Of that’s right, I forgot. It definitely ads to the noise on the Home Screen and storefront.
We’ll see if the constant exposure to Fortnite and Warzone is actually subliminally convincing me to play those games eventually or if it’s actually causing me to hate them more and more, but I suspect it’s the latter. 😄

@NeonPizza there’s no answer to any question you asked because the ps5 is legit underwhelming . welcome to “9th gen” !
here’s a tip though - edit your tv settings , don’t just rely on the ps5 let alone your tv’s “default” settings . so many people just stick with default settings thinking it’s the best quality when it really isn’t and your screen can look a hundred times better if you just tweak with the many settings your tv has and experiment . just find out what works best with your ps5 settings and your tv settings , there is no real one way or look .
Haven’t seen a news story about this (may have missed it though in fairness) but Century: Age of Ashes is now available on PS4 & PS5. It’s a F2P dragon-riding combat GaaS that had a lot of positive buzz about it when it released on PC and Xbox last year.
Is there a way to setup the HDMI link in a way that makes the console turn on my TV automatically but not my TV turn on the console?
Turning on the TV by pressing the home button on the DualSense works great but sometimes I want to turn on the TV to use a streaming app on it instead and since the PS5 is the only external source I use, it automatically goes to it and turns the console on. I've turned the HDMI link off because of this but maybe there's a way to get this right?
It's an LG TV with webOS if that matters.
@Voltan So it sounds like you want to use the DualSense as your TV remote control? So that it works your TV without engaging the console? I’m confused. 😄
Edit: Oh, after re-reading your post I think I understand better. You want to have the two devices linked sometimes but with the link on you always have your PS5 starting up when you turn the TV on, even when you don’t want it to.
I disabled the HDMI link because of this. I use the TV often for watching shows through the native TV apps.
@Th3solution Yes, the perfect scenario for me would be the TV starting and/or switching inputs when I power on the console but the console not starting when I only want to use the TV. I don't really need any kind of link beyond that.
Edit: I googled a bit and there doesn't seem to be a good solution. I could work around it by turning the TV on with a dedicated streaming app button (so it never goes to the HDMI source) but that's not ideal either (as the only ones I use that have dedicated buttons are Netflix and Disney+ but I also use HBO Max, YouTube and Twitch, the latter 2 probably getting the majority of screen time).
Apparently Xbox has more advanced HDMI settings which lets it ignore the power on signals from TV but PS5 does not.
@Voltan@Th3solution When I turn my TV on my ps5 stays off. But when I turn on my PS5 it will also turn the TV on and automatically switch to the PS5. Pressing the PS button on the DualSense will switch it to my ps5 if I'm on watching another source. Turning my PS5 off doesn't turn off my TV. If is that what you are after, I can check my settings and let you know what they are?
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
@JohnnyShoulder yeah, that’s exactly it. In my case, switching the source to HDMI 1 (that’s where the PS5 is) will switch it on - problem is, that’s the only source I use so starting the TV goes straight there and always turns on the console.
I've also got a 4K Blu Ray player (purchased before my PS5) which works the same and is a Sony along with my TV, so not sure if that makes any difference. My TV controller also works on my PS5, which I find useful when watching content in any of the apps and the controller turns off for instance.
Looks like Sony Bend might be getting close to a new game reveal - the quoted tweet is from last year but there are more tweets like this one posted today
@Voltan I get the feeling Sony's going to announce a Playstation Showcase tomorrow for October 6th. Between GoW Ragnarok info blowout (Sony 1st party info blowouts are usually a month before launch), the final Persona 25th anniversary announcement being in the October 13th Famitsu, TLoU Part 1 + Miles Morales PC release date announcements (TLoU Part 1 PC release date not revealed on TLoU day, Miles Morales PC trailer suggests a few weeks), FFXVI trailer in October, PSVR2 needing a release date soon given Early 2023 window, etc.
It feels like there's too much smoke for nothing to happen.
Been to-ing and fro-ing all week on what to play while I’m on leave for the next couple of weeks. Was initially thinking Dragon Age: Inquisition, then Dragons Dogma… and currently thinking maybe Tales of Arise. I also just got a copy of Valkyrie Elysium but it sounds like a pretty short experience… and I’m looking for something to sink my teeth into for a good chunk of the next fortnight… but nothing is seeming quite right.
Getting to the point now where I’m definitely over-thinking it as I’m even considering thawing out Divinity: Original Sin 2 or Diablo 3 for a second chance (after falling off them real quick a few years ago).
Well I want to make a decision by the tomorrow morning as I want to install it ready for a couple of hours Saturday afternoon. I’m guessing by that point, I’ll have settled on something else entirely (that probably isn’t even a fantasy-themed rpg to boot 🤣).
@Kairu I have very slight drift that comes and goes (but enough to be annoying when it's there) in one of my 3 controllers (left stick). It doesn't drift when I'm not touching it but sometimes reads the input as "hard left" for a fraction of a second instead of the correct direction.
I spend a lot of my gaming time on fighting games that don't use the sticks at all so I just kept it for that and didn't bother to do much about it.
@colonelkilgore I can totally relate to the “analysis paralysis” of trying to decide which game to play. I suffer it more with my TV and movie backlog. I mull over what to watch and end up watching nothing. I sometimes do the same with gaming. 😄
