@get2sammyb Infinite Wealth is amazing. Love the switch-up to Haiwaii. Hope you enjoy the back half!

First game on my PS5 Pro is TLOU Part 1. It’s so damn good still.

Does anyone know if we need both PS5’s on a screen to accept inputs or whatever (I’m incompetent with technology terms and in general)?? Just asking because I’ll need to move stuff around if it involves seeing both on separate screens and not just powering up the second device (the original PS5)

@DrVenture69 I remember opening up the base PS5 and was amazed with how cool the textures felt. Tbh I haven’t noticed it on the Pro yet but I just got it a couple hours ago. I could pass as blind so if it requires a microscope, I’ll never find out 😭😂😭

@Balaam_ yep, the trophy list is horrendous. I finished all the mini-games last weekend. So when I completed the base game, I was at 112 hours with some mini games, all of the world intel but Fort Condor and all but two quests done. I literally no life’ed the minigames for a week plus because I was in bed with an injury. Current playtime now was around 160ish hours.

On the bright side, it’ll be my most played game of the year by far. On the negative side, I’ll probably have PTSD from any future FF mini-game :’)))))) it’s sad too because the combat really is excellent IMO

@TheKurgan well, it doesn’t come with a stand that probs costs much less than a $1 to make, so in that sense, a controller being included is wild 😂😭😂

My brain has been so fried lately that I was legit shocked when I opened it up and saw a new controller when obviously it’s a basic necessity for a console :’)))))) I need sleep

@scoobdoo same! Pretty stoked now. Thank you!

Anyone from the USA’s order from PS Direct still say preparing to ship? Wondering if it’s just an overnight shipping for it. My payment is still pending so I’m assuming that’s it and it’ll still arrive tomorrow

Bought a PS5 Pro just for this. Let’s gooooooo!!!!!

No Infinite Wealth, Persona 3 Reload or Stellar Blade? Damn. Infinite Wealth I racked up 150+ hours in. I might’ve leant Rebirth anyways but it’s still disappointing. I’m waiting on my PS4 copy of Metaphor to come in because I know I’ll want to play/platinum it twice like most Atlus games

Absolutely ready for my Hard Mode and Chadley’s hardest sim battles in the coming months 😎😎😎 Cannot wait to replay the actual game/story outside release month that’s not just me destroying my mind with all the mini-game grinds :’))))))))

@Rob_230 I’m hoping it gets added down the line. I’ve been waiting to play the FFXVI DLC & Hard Mode until the Pro comes out

FF7 Rebirth mini-game grind has almost come to an end. I’ve beaten the Ultimate Party Animal. All I have left is Fort Condor (saved it for last), Loveless play two more times, Dolphin and Piano. Then I have to beat all of Chadley’s combat sims and Hard Mode for that platinum 😭😭😭 I’m going to save Chadley & Hard Mode for the PS5 Pro though

The hardest mini game was the crunches. Took me 6+ hours. When I finally rage quit and retired for the day, the next day I got it my second try :’)))))) Cactaur Smash was tough but not as bad. Chocobo Racing was the best IMO. Fango for MVP

Issue with the Death Note game is it’s more fun with friends and I don’t have many

…wait that’s probably a me issue :’)))))

Jokes aside, very solid month!! Can finally pick back up where I was on Ghostwire

True Colors was really bad IMO so I’m not surprised this one didn’t hit as well. It’s a shame because I really enjoyed the first game

@KyushuTrail he took me dozens and dozens of times to defeat. Honestly I doubt I could beat him again right now 😂😂 the best advice I can give is to just keep at it. He’s a punk but a beatable punk. The more you play, the more his moveset becomes muscle memory. And don’t be shy to pop your Jizo statues and dragon blood droplets. It’s the final boss- just use everything at your disposal. You can also buff before the Genichiro fight and right when phase 1 begins of Isshin with no issues whatsoever. You’ll end up beating him soon I bet!!

@KyushuTrail I had issues with him too. What I did was ceremonial tanto before the fight. Pellet to get me close to full health. Beat Genichiro without taking much/any damage (should be pretty easy). Phase 1 of Isshin don’t be afraid to run away/around the boulders. It will give you the time you need to use to heal. Chip away at his health then back off. Chip then back off. On repeat. Use your sugars and divine confetti on Phase 1 because he gives you time to heal and buff up. It’s much harder afterwards

During Phase 2 and 3, use the Suzaku shield. Keep some but not a drastic amount of distance away from him. When he jumps, shield up and hold. Keep the shield when he does like 3 or 4 gun shots. After I believe he does one slash that you can walk behind with the shield then do a shield attack with on him. After, he’ll go through a few moves from his move set then eventually reset to do a jump again if you keep your distance. So basically you’re baiting him for the jump on the last 2 phases. Also, don’t forget to hold block to restore your posture. The lower your health, the longer it takes to restore it as well

Once you’ve gotten phase 1 done, the shield trivializes the next two phases IMO

Just platinum’ed Sekiro FINALLY so I’m now onto continuing the second Apollo Justice game. Loving Apollo & Athena. Got the Investigations game being sent via Play-Asia alongside Metaphor’s PS4 copy. Can’t believe I waited so long to play Ace Attorney smfh

Majima is the main series. Ichiban and Kiryu are now the spin-offs. Team Mad Dog of Shimano. Woof woof

For me personally, 2024 will be pretty damn hard to beat. FF7 Rebirth, LAD: Infinite Wealth, Persona 3 Reload, SMT V:V, Stellar Blade, etc are fantastic games to me

And I haven’t yet played: Metaphor Re:Fantazio (waiting for my PS4 copy to arrive from PlayAsia), Astrobot, Dragon Age Veilguard, Ace Attorney Investigations (Miles Edgeworth), Dragon’s Dogma 2, Unicorn Overlord, Black Myth Wukong, Rise of the Ronin, Sand Land, DQ3 Remake, Silent Hill 2, and more.

Did I google “Best PS5/PS4 games in 2024” to remember some of these? Yes. Do I care about my bad memory? Also yes. Still though, 2024 has been loaded. But if 2025 has Hades 2, DS2, and more, it could start to compete.

Late per usual but I took a break from Ace Attorney 5 to play Sekiro NG+. I’m already at Mibu Village. All I need is to max out skills, get the last few lapis lazuli, and get the Shura ending. Shouldn’t be too hard now to get that platinum 😎😎😎

@Czar_Khastik can’t wait for the overhauled upgrade 3.0 with an automatic popcorn dispenser while watching. Gonna be magical

FINALLY just beat Sekiro last night so I’m all for some Soulslike news. This look like it could be fun. Sign me up 😎

Playing it one week earlier sounds great to me

Benjamin M. Starr is voicing in the game? Sign me up, Clive!

What made Disco Elysium so good was the whacky ***** we could do with the MC. I can’t see how that would’ve worked without changing the tone/theme of how the first game played with Kim as the MC. I think he’s an excellent partner. But unless the spin off went in a completely different direction, I dont know how it’d work tbh

Ace Attorney #5. I’m on the second case. I would be playing Metaphor Re:Fantazio BUT I ordered it on Play-Asia for the PS4 copy. It’s just a game I expect to want to platinum twice. And no, I don’t autopop trophies 😂😂 Metaphor looks like it’s worthy of taking up two platinums of my time 😎😎

It’s sad these video game magazines are closing down. I get why, but still. The money just isn’t there. Maybe instead of a weekly/monthly mag (if it is that. I have no clue), it could be seasonal so every 3 months. The quality could’ve been better with more games to write about and more time to gather interviews and what not. But again, the money isn’t in it either way.

I remember as a kid getting the Nintendo one and reading them on the toilet. My parents always wondered why I took so long on there… well, blame Nintendo and video games in general. At least I didn’t bring my Gameboy in the bathroom… maybe

I’ll try both Dead Island & Return To Monkey Island. So solid month for me! Still waiting for Small Soldiers from PS1 to make its triumphant return to modern consoles in PS+ Premium 😭😭😭

I still haven’t played Persona 4 Arena Ultimax (heard there were spoilers for “The Answer” in it so I’m waiting until I buy that. If there’s not, I’ve been wasting time per usual) and SF6 which I impulse bought, so I’ll have to put this on the wait list. I’m not even a big “fighting” genre player 😂😂 Looks gorgeous and probably worth it for people who love DB. I’ll get to it eventually!

That kinda sucks if Sony does that. It alienates people who only have a PS4. I don’t know if the PS4/PS5 store is the same so maybe it’s only for the PS5 store? I’m thinking they’re the same tho. I hope they don’t delist Horizon Zero Dawn too if they go this route

I told myself I was going to stop after Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Triology but I jumped straight into Apollo Justice minutes after I beat the third game. I swear I’m going to power through them then regret not spacing them out 😭😭😭😭

Also, it was the first time I’ve bought a game over $40 digitally since 2020. Wild

I’m buying a PS5 Pro so I can finally get 8k 120 FPS on my Ace Attorney games and other visual novels. Gonna be skipping text at the speed of light!

So you’re telling me I have a chance to become a surgeon if I bring my DualSense to the hospital? I’m ready to save all the people

@Czar_Khastik those games already look great in 8k tho. Who doesn’t love 8k polygons?

The only “live service” games I’m ever considering trying are FFXIV (but I’m overwhelmed on where to start) and the Persona 5 game that’ll eventually launch in English. I tried Genshin but it wasn’t for me. I’m just not big into shooters like Fortnite (lol I think it’s a shooter) or live service games in general

Yeah I loved DS but I hate this idea of potentially having to use photo mode for anything major. Sure, side missions are fine but I’m not interested in doing this for major story bits

@Majin_Deicide Kagurabachi related profile pic… this guy knows what’s good 😎😎😎

I got 6/10 but I cheated on at least 2+ answers. So because of my honesty, that 6/10 turns into an 8/10, right?!?!

I’m not a tech guy but will the PS5 Pro help the performance of games like FFXVI automatically? I really want to play this game on hard mode but I’ve been waiting for patches/the DLC that’s already released. I’m surprised it’s not getting a “designed boost” because it was a Sony exclusive.

Funny how I waited in digital line for over an hour just to buy it yet it’s still available :’))))

There’s no world where Anya doesn’t convince Yor or Loid to buy her the PS5 Pro. If it’s for the betterment of the mission, Loid will buy that PS5 Pro at all costs. In fact, he’d be on eBay getting fleeced for the 30th Anniversary Edition if it prevented Anya from a tontrius bolt.

Ace Attorney 3. Just finished the first case

I’m probably waiting until the PS5 Pro arrives before I play bigger games. Anyone have any VN/point & click/graphic adventure game suggestions on the PS4/PS5 like Disco Elysium (I guess you can count it as point n click), Nonary Games, Doki Doki, AI Somnium Files, etc.? I’ve played others like Broken Sword, Full Throttle, Deponia, and more.

I’d preferably want something closer to Ace Attorney if possible! I’ve been thinking about Gnosia for awhile now too.

This is the update we’ve all been waiting for. Forgot the PS5 Boost, I’d rather the booty boost any day of the week.

Sweet! I plan on getting NCAA on Black Friday so I’m glad it’ll see some bumps in improvement

He has one week to get it out or we’re all boycotting. I’ll compromise to ten days tho.

…but take your time for Death Stranding 2 plz

If you don’t already have it, just buy it on disc for cheap if you have the disc console. If not, that’s the problem going all digital: Sony can change the prices whenever unlike a 2nd hand market which used games or even months old new games go for much less

Got the PS5 Pro & Dual Sense. Pretty pumped. I guess I just like shiny, new things 😂😂😂

Still need to finish the first season. Got through ep 4 or 5. Liked it a lot just got busy.
