I mean, we are still putting out games for the last gen, have very few true PS5 experiences as it is, so why would we need a pro? There hasn't been the jump in display tech like there was last gen when 4k and HDR really picked up pace, so other than milking the paying punters, I can't see a real need for it.
I'm a sucker and will no doubt get it but it's gonna have to have a lot of the features the DLC added when it launches, or it will be a sale purchase for me. No way I'm buying a strip backed base game and a load of DLC at full price.
Really I would just like to be able to use my Galaxy buds.
I would buy these providing they don't go daft with the pricing, I don't really need another set of wireless buds so I sure as poop won't pay an ridiculous price, but would like them for use with the PS5.
I've nearly bought Olli Olli World and Mafia some many times over the last few month but have held off because I have too much still to play and there is of course a good few new games on the horizon I'm interested in, so it's great for me.
The other two hold no interest but 2 outta 4 ain't bad.
This would be a "if money was no issue" purchase for me. I don't particularly like the gloss panel look they've gone for, the battery life is worse and I can't see it having a substantial impact on how I play, but if money wasn't an issue, sure, why not.
Unfortunately money is an issue. No so much that I can't heat or eat, we are comfortable thankfully, but enough that I'd expect divorce papers for dropping £200 on a controller.
First year I've not bough this since I was a kid, tempted to pick it up on PS5 but if I can't get real badges, names fixes, profile pics etc then I'm not sure I will, not having those things bothers me way more than it should.
And with that, I think this will be a deep sale if I even bother with it now.
Pity as well as it was one that was on my radar to pick up but the demo and now these shenanigans just scream that it's not all it was cracked up to be
I really shouldn't get anything this month because I have bought Elden Ring, which I'll start after I finish up TW3, in the sale as well as a load to play through on the Steam Deck and Switch, but then there is both Personas, MH Rise, Dead Space and Forspoken.
Although Forspoken I'm likely to wait on reviews because as much as I want it to be good, I'm on the fence about it.
I really shouldn't get anything though, not like these games are going anywhere.
Looking forward to what it brings in all aspects, hopefully prosperous for us all... If the lecky prices come down that would be a start!
Looking forward to a gaming year ahead, hopefully it's gonna be good, looking forward to you guys at Push Square keeping us all up to speed with your quality output, easily my fav site for PS news. KUTGW lads and lasses.
I'm working my way through The Witcher, ended up buying Elden Ring in the sale and will be opening a Steam Deck tomorrow, so imagine it will be a mix of things when I get a min between family, food and TV
Nothing for me. Elden Ring is tempting but seeing as I have never got along with Demon Souls (PS3 or PS5 versions), Dark Souls 1 or Bloodborne, I really should just avoid it.
Downloaded it at midnight ready for this morning. Got a few hours on it.
Not really had any issues bar what @KundaliniRising333 mentioned about flickering in RT mode, but I had to turn that off anyway as the 30fps felt brutal, much better in performance mode. Looked good in RT mode though, just can't hack 30fps.
Enjoying the struggle of getting used to the clunky combat but it will come back to me.
Quick casting is a huge improvement, just waiting on muscle memory to kick in so as I'm not casting Aard when I need Igni etc.
Not a fan of the new camera, had to revert back to the old way.
Improved load times are also nice.
I'm a happy bunny, been looking forward to another playthrough and happy with the improvements
I've never gotten round to ME so looking forward to them.
I'll add Biomutant and Devine Knockout to my library knowing full well I'll never play them cause neither look all that interesting IMO.
December is looking like a good month, between this, TW3 Complete Edition, a new Cities Skylines DLC, still got to finish Frontiers, holiday will see some PGA 2k22 with the old man, me and the weeman are getting a Steam Deck for Xmas (I obviously know this, he doesn't), plenty of gaming on the cards.
I was gonna pre order then didn't, then would probably have bought today if the reviews weren't so iffy, but they were so I didn't.
I'll probably pick it up once it's sub £30, I'm in no rush, plenty to play and plenty coming up that interests me, would have had to knock it out the park for me to get it today really.
Yeah this will be a "wait for a sale" effort for me, plenty coming in over the rest of the month and Jan that will get my attention before this. Was on the verge of a pre order as well but glad I held off, release day review embargo is never a great sign.
I'll see what the reviews are like for Callisto Protocol, I'll have The Witcher to work through this month anyway so I'm not really in any rush and might wait for a sale.
Otherwise, quite interested in Forspoken, will see when it gets closer to release. If Monster Hunter is a go for January then I'll most likely be picking that up
I was concerned once it was mentioned the review embargo lifts on release day, tends not to be a good sign.
I nearly pre ordered a while back, glad I held off. I'm still interested in the game but will probably pick it up in the new year once it has been patched a bit.
Nothing for me, I've picked up FIFA (when I said I wouldn't) PGA 2k22 and The Cult of Lamb last week and Callisto Protocol and the NG upgrade for TW3 are on the Horizon so I'm keeping the wallet closed for this lot.
Only on the 3rd zone but bar the pop in I've found it quite enjoyable, although the random change to 2d side scrolling on parts of the 3rd zone I found quite jarring. Not been any glaring issues I've seen that have impacted my gameplay
I never completed Nioh 1. Maybe gives me an excuse to actually turn my PS5 on for something other than Cities Skylines (I've been in a gaming funk the past couple of months) and maybe finish that up then get into the second installment

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 460
Feeling a bit of Witcher burnout so have put that to the side to start Elden Ring. Fancy popping on a bit of GT7 as well later as it's been a while.
Picked up MH Rise for cheap as well on the Steam Deck so no doubt carrying on with that when I can prise it away from the wee man.
Re: PS Plus Extra, Premium PS5, PS4 Games for January 2023 Announced
Never actually played a DMC game, can't say they ever appealed to me all that much but might give it a bash of I remember it's there.
Will play through LIS Before The Storm, never got around to buying that but enjoy LIS.
Re: Frey Faces Her Fears in Flashy Forspoken PS5 Cinematic Trailer
It's on my list, although I've not played the demo... And have plenty to tide me over just now.
I'm thinking this is a sale purchase if it seems half way decent once released and patched a bit.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - New Year 2023 Edition
Hopefully finish up The Witcher 3 over the next couple of days then will begin Elden Ring.
Been mostly on the Steam Deck, playing RE7, Xcom 2 and Micro Machines. Having a great time with it, good bit of kit IMO.

Re: When Will Sony Unwrap PS5, PS4's Annual January Sale on PS Store?

Next game I'm looking at is Forspoken, if they can give me half off a pre order I'd really appreciate that.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing The Witcher 3's PS5 Upgrade?
Yup, playing just now, ray tracing looks wonderful but got it on performance mode for the 60fps.
Looking forward to sinking another 100 and odd hours in and getting to Toussaint to see how good that looks with all the bells and whistles

Re: Poll: Do You Care About 60fps on PS5?
