Topic: What PS5 Games Are You Currently Playing?

Working my way through Uncharted 4. Hadn't played any of these games at the start of the year and now I would class it as one of my favourite series ever. I'm nearly finished it and absolutely love it. The over the top action sequences aren't as crazy as the previous games but they are still incredible to play through with the improved graphics.
After I beat that I'm not sure what to move on to next. It's between Ghost of Tsushima or God of War Ragnarok.

It was the biggest letdown for me I should have known better as I wasn't a massive fan of the original GoW but having read the rave reviews I couldn't resist, I got a decent price for it when I traded it in at the game shop.

@blockfight I usually say that Uncharted 4 is the first Uncharted game that I loved and that Uncharted 4 is the game that I excpected the first Uncharted game to basically. Just as is very irocanlly very much how I feel about TLOU2. I kind of often think that we have much to thank for Neil Duckmans involvement in Uncharted 4. Guess he helpend shape the game to be what it became. I also think there is some quality movements in the previous Uncharted games but not as many as in Uncharted 4.

@Max_Headroom Awesome! I’d love to hear your impressions when you get to it!

@blockfight I can state that I think Uncharted 4 like its predecessors include some cool unlockable content (such as game mods) that become available to you after you beat the game. Naughty Dog seem in general keen to include that kind of content in their games.

@Jimmer-jammer @Th3solution @colonelkilgore Hey guys, I edited my previous post so maybe you missed it, anyway here's what I said.

Guys, I just got the Adjudicator's Shield and Regenerator's Ring and killed Vanguard with my Crescent Falchion +1 . He wasn't that hard, the black skeleton guarding the Adjudicator's Shield gave me more trouble than him. Just a few more bosses and then Curse Weapon will be mine.

Edit: Just took on Dragon God and killed him first try. Like you said @Th3solution the max build doesn't really make too much difference to that battle as it's more of a puzzle, but, yeah I was still proud of myself.

Edit II: I think the Scarecrow boss fight in Batman: Arkham Asylum was influenced by that DeS boss fight. Anyone else notice the similarities?

@Max_Headroom guys if you dont like god of war, give up gaming.

Started Uncharted 4 through the collection on PS Plus Extra, and have decided to try the different display options seeing as my new tv supports most things offered these days.

Wasn't too impressed with the 1080p 120fps option, as didn't think the increased frame rate felt different enough to compensate the decreased resolution.

And the 4K 40 fps offered in game, my TV seems to increase it to a target unlocked 120fps, but dips to 90fps frequently. It didn't feels as bad as I thought it be, but there has been not much action to speak of yet. I think the real test will be when things get a more chaotic.

What a ridiculous statement, i think you need to take your head for a wobble.

@TheBrandedSwordsman Nice work! Not sure if you’re there yet but the section where you descend down the cliff edge with the flying manta rays gave me the most trouble in the whole game. There was a ring that was very helpful but I can’t remember what it was called. Good luck as you press on with your journey!

@Jimmer-jammer I think it's the Thief's Ring, and I'm not there yet actually, but yeah I have it, it helps you avoid enemy detection I believe. Thanks man!

@TheBrandedSwordsman @Jimmer-jammer Ah yes, the flying manta rays. I agree completely — it’s was horribly frustrating without the Thief’s Ring but when I tried it while wearing the ring it was quite reasonable.

And yes, now that you mention, there’s some similarities with the Dragon God and the Scarecrow fight in Arkham Asylum. I hadn’t thought of it before. I doubt that it inspired Rocksteady since there’s other puzzle type boss fights out there but perhaps From and Rocksteady each drew from a common inspiration.

Whilst on the subject of FromSoft games, here's something seasonal for everyone, I found it amusing, I don't know what others will make of it.

Still playing through DeS, just beat Tower Knight and also got the One Shall Fall trophy by using a YouTube strategy. It was fairly easy to take him down with the Crescent Falchion+1 ,as I have put a lot of xp into magic and he is weak to that.

@Jimmer-jammer @Th3solution @TheBrandedSwordsman if you have a decent bow (lava bow or sticky compound long bow) those manta rays are easy pickings and drop a decent souls-yield.

I just finished Yakuza 3, then scrolling through my library saw LAD with the plus icon and a lock? I remember it was in the essential tier, so why is it locked? I tried restoring licences, same thing.
Maybe I didn't claim it or was it in extra too?

@Reveluv I cancelled my plus but Like a Dragon is in the January sale for £13 so I'll be grabbing that and RE4 remake for £23 before the end of this month.

@MightyDemon82 yeah I actually bought it with 6. They're well worth the money.

Fantasy Recommendations?

Can't remember if there was a specific recommendations thread. But after playing Baldur's Gate 3 for what must be months, I'm actually kind of thinking of sticking with more classic fantasy for my next major game too and keeping cyberpunk going as a more casual side game

Probably looking for more of an action open world style rather than a tactical crpg this time. Just something that looks nice, has stuff to explore and is good enough to entertain. So far all I can think of is Hogwarts Legacy that's come out relatively recently so I might grab that. Anything else I'm missing, or should I just go for HL?
