I'll definitely try a demo.

Sigh. I literally just finished this the other day, LOL. Oh well. I thought it was good, but not great. I didn't really find the story or characters interesting at all, but the gameplay was enjoyable. Will fire it up again just to see how it looks and runs now.

@Culjoseth seconded regarding the load times. It's night and day.

I'm definitely interested, but as a solo gamer, I'll definitely be weighing a number of reviews, as well.

@billyboyblue666 I loved it on my Pro and it's AMAZING on PS5. Seriously, it looks like a native PS5 game.

I never use the share screen because I'm literally the only person I know that has a PS5 (unfortunately) so I can't use this feature.

@Col_McCafferty PS3 was the only PS gen I skipped (went 360 then came back for PS4), so I played it on PS4 also. That probably affected my opinion on TLoU some as it had aged a bit by then. I probably wait for a PS5 version as you suggest, but you never know. The mood may strike me before then ☺

I thought that the first game was pretty good but I just wasn't as invested in it as some folks, I guess. I often found the gameplay to be frustratingly clunky. Also, full disclosure, I generally find zombie stuff to be very boring (not my cup of tea, I guess), so there's that. I didn't even know it had zombies when I bought it, LOL. I'd just heard good things and gave it a shot. That being said, I'm glad I did because I did think that the human element of the story was well done and I don't regret playing it at all. I enjoyed it.

I haven't felt the need to play the sequel yet but I'm sure I will eventually. None of the things that have some people all bothered are an issue to me at all and I'm sure I'll enjoy the story when I get around to it one day. I know not everyone did, but I'm glad that so many fans of the first game really liked it.

It's right there in the PS5's news section... Maybe it was updated, but I found it in about 2 seconds.

I still plan on picking this up, but not for about a year, or even later if the PS5 version hasn't released by then.

I won't be getting the PS4 version at all, BC or no BC. I just don't see the point. I want to play this game in its best state and the PS4 version is most definitely not that, even on PS5. I can be patient until the PS5 native version releases. I have enough other games to work on in the meantime. My backlog is ridiculous at the moment.

I forgot this game even came out, but appreciate the reminder. I'll check it out when it gets the update.

Honestly, I just wish I knew of a way to remove games from showing in my library. Tons of PS+ games I played for about an hour and then abandoned.

That being said, the Steam return policy makes sense to me. I think Sony should go with something like that.

@GodOfNothing Same. I have enough of a backlog as it is, LOL. That being said, I'm looking forward to playing this in 2021

@Hyperluminal I'll bear that in mind, as well!

@elvisfan1 the funny thing is, I do ok on the snow, LOL. However, you may have helped me out because I keep trying the asphalt thinking it would be easier. I should try the gravel more. I've never been a huge racing game fan and when I did play them more often (I'm talking like Sega Saturn days 😆 ), the games I played were more arcade-like. I think I'm just having a time adjusting to the sim style this game employs. It can be punishing. I was always bad at the GT series, too. Still, the DS is so good here that I'm less inclined to give up and more likely to keep trying. I have several games I'm playing at the moment but I like getting a race in now and then to relax.

I bought this game purely because of the reception its use of the Duelsense has gotten. I really suck at playing it, though. Still, I'm looking forward to some new cars and tracks to crash in and on, respectively 😆

They look normal enough to me (I live in Tennessee though... 😆 )

I've never played a Souls game before this one and so far it's mainly the armor spider that's been giving me a hard time. I've been stuck there for a couple of days now. After a while I get bored and go back to plaything something else, but I'm determined to kill that d*** thing 😆

I need this in my life.

I haven't bought a physical disc since MKX. I got the regular PS5 to have a backup for my 4K player in case it dies on me.

@Snake_V5 same here and honestly it starts so fast I almost don't see the point right now (outside of downloading games, which I'm good for a while).

I went from a cold boot to actual gameplay on Miles Morales in just 38 seconds (I timed it as I was curious). That's good enough for me until I know the issues with rest mode are fixed.

I have mine vertical, out in the open (not in my entertainment center) and if it didn't have a light on, I wouldn't even know it was turned on. Well, other than the fact that I'm using it, 😆

@Perryg92 exactly what I'm going to do 😀

Little did we know when the picture of that pallet came out a month or so back that that was the entire stock 😉

I'm all seriousness though, good luck to all of those still trying to get one. I consider myself very lucky.

@djlard it was super addictive!

One of the first games I played on PS4, oddly enough (pun totally intended).

OK, so I bit the bullet and bought it last night. I really suck, LOL. I tried a couple of different classes but finally did settle on Royalty today and I at least feel a little more confident now. When I get the hang of it, maybe for a second play through, I'll try my other characters again. I was disappointed at first (this isn't really my style of game) but I can see myself getting into it. Being a little more successful with my new character type makes me want to try harder. I think when that happens, I'll really get into it.

I feel like I should add though, I've actually only had two very minor issues. Once I lost the internet for a brief moment and the entire system slowed down to a crawl. Turning it off and then back on again fixed that very quickly. The only other issue I had was one crash during Miles Morales that took me back to the home screen. That didn't actually matter as the game picked up right where I left off when I fired it up again.

@thefourfoldroot indeed. I have a few downloaded (along with saves). I just want to know when it's fixed, lol

Yeah, I haven't used my external drive or put my system in rest mode yet. Waiting for them to say that particular issue is fixed first...

@3MonthBeef thanks. That's pretty much what I thought, but I appreciate the confirmation.

@Ear_wiG thanks for your advice. I'm playing Miles Morales right now, but this is on my radar despite never playing a Souls game. I don't find uber difficult games very tempting (as I only have so much time to play and I don't want to punished for it, lol) but knowing there are ways to make it easier on myself pretty much guarantees I'll be asking for this for the holidays.

I'm working long hours this weekend, but I'm hoping to squeeze in more Miles Morales on Sunday night!

Yeah, I was really digging that one, LOL

@God_of_Nowt that's why I bought a spare 😉

@God_of_Nowt my only regret is that I won't have a lot of time to play as I'm working all weekend. Looking forward to my Monday off though!

@God_of_Nowt I'm definitely enjoying 😁 It looks and feels amazing and Miles plays like a dream!

So, I got mine today and have messed about with both Astro and Miles. I've had to stop and start my playing (busy day), and have just simply closed games and shut down the system with no problem. I don't really expect any issues so long as I keep on with that for the time being.

@God_of_Nowt yes indeed, thank you. My console arrived today and it's waiting for me at home. I'll be sure to hold off on using my external and/or using rest mode (which will take adjusting to as I almost always have my Pro is rest mode when not in use). I'll wait for the inevitable update!

Mine is due to arrive tomorrow. Hopefully early in the day as I have much longer work days this weekend and will have less time to mess around with it.

Mine finally shipped from Wal-Mart yesterday. It's due on Friday. Thankfully, I have a short workday that day, so I should be home when it arrives. I was beginning to wonder how late it would be, but I'm happy with Friday, especially considering what others are dealing with.

Forgive my ignorance, but why are "always online" games a turn off for some people? My system is always online and I never think about it. I'm not knocking anyone at all, just genuinely curious. Is it because the servers could potentiality get shut down, rendering a game unplayable? That's the main thing I can think of.

@Enuo same, but I got an email today saying it might be "a day or two late." Hopefully that's all since I got my order in on day one, but we'll see...

I don't think I've ever used it.

Not being able to do this wasn't a deal-breaker for me, but I'm glad they are doing it. I've been holding off on NG+

I don't know if I've just learned to tune it out, or if mine didn't have that problem, but I don't remember my PS4 (or later, my PS4Pro) making much noise. (It could also be that I've kept them in an open cabinet and they could breath) Still, I'm glad the PS5 will be quiet ☺

@PossibLeigh I was paraphrasing Derek Zoolander 😉

I'm actually quite interested in this game, but with Miles Morales coming (and Spider-Man Remastered, which I'm looking forward to) and a large (LARGE) backlog of PS4 games to finish, I'll be holding off on this one pending reviews and a good sale.

"What is this? A console for ants?!"

Seriously though, I got mine in the mail a few days back and that was the first thing I noticed when I looked at it (I hadn't paid much attention to it prior to that, I suppose because I already knew I wanted it). I thought it was pretty funny/cute/awesome.

Edit: FWIW, this was the one item I ordered from PlayStation Direct.

I got a really good deal a couple of years ago on a 70" Vizio 4K HDR TV. It's not the best, but I'll be happy with it for a while.
