The Premium games are still disappointing as with this month's free PS Plus games (to me at least), but I see a few Extra games I'll play so this month isn't all bad for PS5.

Life is Strange Before The Storm, Erica, & Omno.
With Dead Space Remake at the end of the month.

Game Pass will also keep me busy on my Series X with Persona 3 & 4, & Monster Hunter Rise.

Just Platinumed Deliver Us The Moon for PS5 thru PS Plus Extra yesterday. I'd definitely play the sequel if it comes to Game Pass or Extra.

I'll be watching it on HBO Max. I'm assuming it will be 4K HDR or Dolby Atmos. Either way, it will look good on my LG C1.

I've had my PS5 since launch, and it's been great so far with exclusives and backward-compatibility, plus it's my multiplat console of choice over my Series X.

2023 seems to be another great year with -

Dead Space Remake
Dragonball Z Kakarot
Forspoken
Hogwarts Legacy
Resident Evil 4 Remake
Stellar Blade
Final Fantasy 16
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
Spider-Man 2
Silent Hill 2 Remake
Suicide Squad

Plus, whatever else hasn't been announced yet. An even better version of my favorite controller with the Dualsense Edge releasing soon also.
I'm excited to see what 2023 has to offer for PS5, Switch & Series X...

I have both games downloaded and ready to go on my Series X thru Game Pass. Idk if I'll go for the Platinum, though. With my backlog, Game Pass, and PS Plus Premium I have too many games to play that will keep me busy for years.
Idk if I can dedicate 100's of hours to one game.

I'm not a fan of Star Wars.

Fallout 76 came with my One X years ago, and I still never downloaded it.

Picked up a physical copy of Axiom Verge 2 for Switch a few weeks ago.

@KidBoruto GOW 3 Remastered is available for PS4. GOW 1 & 2 collection is available for PS Vita.

I'd be fine with a re-release of GOW 1-3 for PS5. So I don't have to set up the PS3 to play them...

@KidBoruto Money talks. Trilogy or not, there will be another GOW game. Whether it's a reboot, remake, or spinoff...

I already have the Platinum for Ragnarok, but I'll play the NG+ before the next GOW game comes out. So probably in 4 or 5 years...

Hearing that the battery life is worse than a standard Dualsense controller is a shame. It's not a dealbreaker to me, though. I bought an Elite Series 2 controller to go with my Series X, and it's hard to go back to a standard Xbox controller. I need my back buttons! Now, just release a back button attachment for regular Dualsense controllers, Sony!

@Deljo It's new for me. I used to always game sitting on a couch or in bed since I'm a console gamer. I mostly play single-player games, so I prefer to game at my desk now. No PC gaming for me, just my PS5, Series X, and Switch. It's great having my own space sitting on a comfy chair directly in front of a beautiful OLED display! And so immersive!

Around this time last year, I was looking for a comfy gaming chair, but I went with a Serta XL Executive office chair instead ($450). It's been a year, and I have no complaints! Now, I prefer to game at my desk with my 48" LG C1 OLED using my PS5, Series X, and Switch.

Played through the game 3 times (normal, hard, easy) and got the Platinum in a few days. I really enjoyed my time with The Callisto Protocol. I'd give it an 8/10. The 3d audio sounded amazing, and the framerate was a smooth 60fps with VRR for the most part. Most importantly (to me), I was pleasantly surprised the PS5 version has gyro support!

I already have my pre-order in at Best Buy.
Hopefully the PS5 version will have gyro support and a 60fps performance mode like Callisto Protocol has.

@Northern_munkey I'd see the insert/eject motor wearing out before anything else. My PS4 Pro disc drive works just fine after 6 plus years. But with over 200 PS4/PS5 discs, it would be more convenient to buy a spare disc drive instead of another PS5...

If Sony sells the detachable disc drive separately and it works with my launch day PS5, I'd buy one if it's $100 or less. That would be less wear and tear on my built-in disc drive and easier to replace.

My pre-order for PS5 is supposed to be arriving today, but my tracking info hasn't been updated since this morning. So idk if it will be delayed until tomorrow or not...

I prefer Ultra Street Fighter 2 The Final Challengers on Switch instead. I bought 2 copies for local wireless play support. Besides, I'll wait on Super Street Fighter 6 or Ultra Street Fighter 6 or whatever they will call it with all the DLC included before I buy it...

I still want physical copies for Switch & PS5.
If the price is right, I'll double dip 😜.

Good timing. I just went back to get the last few trophies for the Platinum on HFW today. Idk when I'll get to it, though. I still haven't played the DLC for Horizon Zero Dawn. Mabey, I'll wait and see if the rumored HZD remaster comes true...

The PS5 version has more benefits than I could ask for with 3D audio, haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, 60+fps with VRR, and most importantly (to me) gyro aiming.

I'm happy for PC players who will be playing this masterpiece for the first time! Enjoy! 😁

Put my pre-order in last week for a physical copy (PS5). I finished Callisto Protocol yesterday (which was great), so I'll probably go for the Platinum while I patiently wait for Crisis Core.

Looks amazing! I just want a 60fps performance mode and gyro aiming controls for PS5! Callisto Protocol, to my surprise, has gyro, and the game is much more enjoyable with that and 60fps performance.

PS5 - Callisto Protocol all weekend, whenever my copy decides to arrive today.

Series X - I'll browse Game Pass and download some new games to put this expensive new Seagate 2TB SSD card to use.

Switch - maybe some Persona 5 Royal

Pre-ordered for PS5, but sadly, my copy won't arrive until Monday. However, my Seagate 2TB SSD for Series X will be here today. I guess I'll try out some new games on Game Pass over the weekend instead.

@dschons Mabey, it was me, but even after fully upgrading my weapon sway, it seemed slow or something. TLOU Part 2 gyro felt smoother. I agree, Horizon did a great job with gyro controls.
Do you know if gyro was added to the Uncharted Legacy of Thieves Collection?

@ShogunRok Thanks. I appreciate you taking the time to explain to me how upgrades for this game work. Have a great day! Happy gaming!

@dschons TLOU Part 1 gyro controls felt a little off to me. Horizon Forbidden West, God of War Ragnarok & Quake gyro felt better.

Looks like my copy won't be arriving until Monday, unfortunately 😕.

@dschons I saw that it has gyro! That's definitely something I didn't expect to see in this game, but it's very welcome, indeed 😀. How are the gyro controls? Do you know?

God of War Ragnarok also has gyro with throwing the Axe playing as Kratos. And while using the bow, playing as Atreus. It was awesome 👌.

Hopefully, my copy will arrive tomorrow! Just like Dead Space works for me. I'm looking forward to playing this on my LG C1 OLED with the lights off and headphones on. Playing horror games on an OLED display is the perfect combination 👌.

So, will I be able to upgrade my standard copy of Witcher 3 for PS4 to the PS5 version minus the DLC? Or do I have to purchase the DLC or Complete Edition to be eligible to upgrade to the PS5 version?

I'll play it on Gamepass with a friend. 1080p 120fps will be my preferred choice!

Callisto Protocol
Crisis Core
Cup Head
Death's Door
Dragon Ball Z Kakarot
Forspoken
Dead Space
Samurai Maiden (if physical is available)

All physical copies.

@Dishonored29 Exactly! 🤣. Sometimes, I envy my nephews who only play like 3 games a year (COD, Fifa, & NBA 2K). My 1TB didn't even last a year. I've been getting the Platinum for games to transfer them over to the 8TB HDD. But I like to have all of my games installed and ready to play at any time, so deleting and transferring games bothers me, lol. Same with my Series X. Constantly deleting and transferring games, especially with Game Pass. It sucks 😕.

@Would_you_kindly Thanks for the info. I appreciate it. My physical copy won't arrive until Friday. Congratulations on the new PS5! I hope you enjoy it!

21GB file size is good to hear. I have about 80GB free for this and Callisto Protocol. I'll be upgrading my M.2 to 4TB soon. 1TB didn't last that long...

It's not worth $60 to me. Besides, I have a stack of PS5 games I picked up from black Friday to keep me busy for now. I'll buy it after a price drop and hopefully the resolution will be patched to at least 1440p 60fps by then...

Nice to know I'll be able to play the Complete Edition with all of the DLC on my PS5 since I only own a standard vanilla copy of Witcher 3 for PS4. I have the Complete Edition for Xbox One on my Series X. But I'd rather play this on PS5. Unfortunately, Witcher 3 will have to wait until I finish Callisto Protocol & Crisis Core first.

Wasn't a fan of Final Fantasy back in the day. So I never played Crisis Core on PSP. I was going to pick up a copy a few years ago, but never did. With Final Fantasy 7 Remake being my first Final Fantasy game (which i loved), and this being a spin off of that? I'm guessing... I'm really looking forward to this and Callisto Protocol on PS5 in December! With this being a handheld game originally, I'll have to pick up a copy for Switch as well later on.

Well deserved! Looks amazing and so smooth on PS5 at 1440p with an uncapped frame rate and VRR. Especially on my LG C1 OLED. Got my Platinum a few days ago. Can't wait to see what Santa Monica comes out with next!

This went from a day 1 pick-up to wait for a sale.
Looks like Crisis Core will be my big December game to play. At least Dead Space Remake and Resident Evil 4 Remake are right around the corner.

I don't like feeling rushed to finish games. So I basically use PS Plus Premium/Game Pass to try games I might be interested in and if I like em I buy a physical copy. Picked up a copy of YS 8 for PS5 so I can play it at my own pace. I'll do the same with YS 9 next year.

Missed out on the PS4 version but I picked up a copy for PS5 last month. I haven't played it yet but it looks like fun. 120fps support and 2 player split screen is also a plus.

Looks like fun but I'll wait for a sale. Just picked up a bunch of games from black Friday deals, so I'm good until Calisto Protocol in December.

That's fine with me. Dead Space Remake & Hogwarts Legacy will be taking up most of my time then anyway. Well, those and a few other games I can't think of right now.

I never played Crisis Core on PSP. So it will be nice to experience it at 4K 60fps on my LG C1 OLED. I'll be picking this up for PS5 Day 1. It will look good sitting on my shelf next to Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade. I'll get the Switch version for portability after a price drop.

Great game! Not much of an upgrade over the PS4 version though. I didn't know it runs at 120fps, seems more like 60fps to me. Didn't see any Performance or Quality settings in the options menu. I missed out on a physical copy for PS4, so it's nice to have a physical copy for PS5. Hopefully YS 9 will have a standard physical version for PS5 as well, when it releases next year.

GOW Ragnarok is my game of the year! About 20 hours in and loving every minute of it.
I'll probably play Sonic Frontiers after I'm done with Ragnarok. I hear it's good and I haven't played a decent 3d Sonic game in a while.

Bought Control for Xbox One X when it released and loved it! Played it again on PS5 when it was a free PS Plus game and got the Platinum. So hyped for Control 2, Alan Wake 2, and Max Payne 1 & 2 remakes! Remedy hasn't let me down so far!
