Topic: What PS5 Games Are You Currently Playing?

@Thrillho I haven’t found the text that small on a 40” TV but I sit pretty close to it. I think issues like text size might perhaps be fixed in updates though!

@nessisonett Mine is 42” and I’m a couple of metres away. It’s readable but not overly comfortable for long periods.

At least it’s mostly voiced now!

@RogerRoger I’m looking forward to seeing what the game looks like too. A few shots from Astro look pretty sharp so something dedicated to looking great will be great I hope.

@Thrillho To be fair, I have reached two separate game-breaking bugs that make it impossible for me to progress so I’m definitely more open to criticism of the port than I was when it was just frame rate issues that was the problem.

@nessisonett Ouch. No way of doing anything different to get round it I assume?

@Thrillho I ended up attempting to come back to the segment that was soft locking only to come across another one that at least let me continue to the next line but repeated itself continuously. I’ll wait for a patch but it’s a wonder how it got past quality control given it’s a massively important scene to the plot.

@nessisonett Could be some rare case they didn't catch. You should probably try to report it somehow.

On an unrelated note - I freakin' made it to Demigod in Kombat League
Got just a little lucky in my last fight - I'd be dead if Erron hadn't ran out of bullets.

@Voltan I’ve seen the same scene reported all across the web! That should at least mean it’ll be fixed in the incoming patch. Still, it wasn’t broken when I played it on PC a year and a half ago 😂

@nessisonett Oh, ok - at least they're probably aware then

Well, I'm waiting for Oddworld Soulstorm to download! Other than that, Tony Hawk 1 + 2 is a great time and the new Fortnite season is pretty cool!

Don't think much of Oddworld.
I had the 1st one one PS1 and didn't think much of that either.

Finally got around to Spider-Man: Miles Morales PS5 this week and just got the platinum after speedrunning the NG+. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

@Total_Weirdo It’s strange, after finally finishing Crash 3 last week I’d honestly say that Crash 2 was the only one I really ‘enjoyed’.

Just started Oddworld. I like these games but they're not for everyone.

@RubyCarbuncle I'm looking forward to it! I only got round to playing New 'n' Tasty last year (having picked it up at the beginning of the PS4 lifecycle) and the original has a special place in my heart.

I only have vague memories of Exodus so it'll be interesting to see what they've done here.

@Thrillho It's beautiful but like the original game it is difficult in parts.

@RubyCarbuncle Is there the obligatory super difficult secret area on the first screen?

@WCB Nice! Miles Morales was a nice bite sized AAA experience which I just platinumed myself recently, and I gotta say that ending hit just as hard the 2nd time as it did the 1st.

@Thrillho Honestly it's years since I played the original so I can't recall the screen you mean. I can say however the game is difficult the moment you start and you're going to die a lot like before.

@RubyCarbuncle This is the original version of Exoddus;

Oddworld and New ‘n’ Tasty both had hidden areas on the first screen too.

@Thrillho Whoah that was cool lol
The difference between this and Soulstorm that is immediately apparent is that it Soulstorm has these large levels it scrolls through 2.5D style (sometimes you will see other parts of the level in the background which is pretty cool) rather than passing between these rooms/small sections. The environments are pretty nice. I think I'm on level 3 now (a couple hours in) and there hasn't been a part where the other guys follow you yet. There was a part where you open a path for them and then have to fend off the baddies while they escape (and there's like 200 of them escaping). Otherwise it was a lot of trying not to get killed (and often failing).
