After all the praise I am hearing in GOTY discussions I am going to have to give DD2 a go at some point, never played the first but this one is very intriguing. RoftR is on my back log and I'll get to it but it is unfortunately way back
This game is responsible for bringing me back to online gaming, I absolutely love it and this time last year I would not have thought I was going to spend months just playing this game alone let alone any online multiplayer game. It is just so much fun, made up it is in the top 10 but it makes my top 3 for 2024!!
@breakneck Yeah mate, the deeper I get into it the more I just want to follow her story! Great game though!
Glad you enjoyed PoP, it is definitely in my top 2 this year, just pipped by Astro. Such a shame they closed this studio, would have loved a second. (how annoying was the pirate parrot quest trophy )
I am trying to get my play through of Alan Wake 2 finished so I can enjoy Astro Bot over the festive break! Playing as Saga is awesome but less so Alan! Want to do the DLC too so lots of darkness on this festive weekend!!
@DennisReynolds Thank you for this comment, I have said it on other threads AW2 on the Pro has always looked and played brilliantly for me, before and after this patch so I never understood when people said it didn't run well on the Pro and just assumed I was lucky or had terrible eye sight :S
Still enjoying Alan Wake 2, just on Chapter 6, not had much gaming time of late but loving every minute. Wukong arrived this week and can't wait to see what the Pro makes of it.
Congratulations to Playstation and on the big 15 for Push Square, great site with great members, been some amazing gaming memories, here's to another 30 years of gaming 🍻
@Mikey856 Good luck buddy, if it is a boy will you call him Astro
I am made up with mine and don't regret it at all, it is a nice to have rather than a must as the base model is mostly fine. I would say if you can afford it and want the best Playstation has to offer then go for it but as said above if you are on an old 1080 TV it probably is not worth it.
@Major_Player Hi buddy, I can't speak for everyone but I waited until the Pro came out (& a physical edition) to play this and it runs really well. Having not played it on the base model I don't know what the original complaints were but I haven't had a single bug or glitch and I am about 12 hours in. It really is a fantastic game!
Already finished and enjoyed it, this will definitively make it more fun for those who are yet to jump in but if you want action, stick to the EA Jedi games (can't believe I am saying that).
@MattBoothDev That is a great deal buddy, much better than the £825 I forked out!
Kudos to you for pointing out credit is not the way to go as it is too easy to fall into that trap, whilst I love my Pro it is most definitely not worth getting into debt for!
I really need to pick this up at some point as MGS is a gap in my gaming history (shame on me). I did try the 2nd which I think started out on an oil rig but I didn't know what was going and ended up stuck somewhere probably because I was trying to action my way through instead of stealth! So will start from the 1st and take it from there, decent price for 3 games too!
The guy is a bit of a legend (certainly amongst trophy hunters), seems a bit weird but hopefully he moves onto better things if that is how he has been treated!
Bit of a shame, the preview hype got my attention and I like the Marvel and Star Wars Lego games so thought this might just deliver. Wait for sale at best I'm afraid!
I will be mostly playing Alan Wake 2 which like other I have waiting until the Pro came out to play, it is really good and pretty spooky at time,s it's dripping in Twin Peaks cool!! Wanna try out some VR games on the Pro too and obviously some GT7.
It's a cool theme and I've kept it for my welcome screen. the OG Destiny 1 theme complete with original music is my all time favourite and still in place on my PS4 Pro! Very happy with my purchase, I hope they do a white Switch 2 to go next to it!
@Mikey856 I agree mate, the chip processor background looks really cool IMO, would still love proper wall papers though. I am really happy with mine! Sorry about the disc drive, for info I went into Curry's a while back which listed online they were out of stock but they had plenty in store, if you are near one pop in and ask, they told me they hold stock back for walk in's!
@Rich33 @JohntheRaptor I didn't get it sorted but I didn't try the restore method, I have just downloaded them from my library again on the Pro, didn't take long. Mine was an OG fattie too.
Got mine today been playing Alan Wake 2 since it looks and runs great. Going to check out GT7 shortly. I added the stand and disc drive no issue, was a bit nervous about the pulling the cover off to put the drive in 😬
Great news, great game which more people get to play, I have no issue with timed exclusives, much rather this than locked to one platform forever (not 1st party titles of course).
@JohntheRaptor Good point I haven't checked the firewalls, like you I have PS+ but it was so simple from PS4 to PS4 Pro and Pro to PS5! Shame because everything else is cool, Good luck buddy!
Got mine about an hour ago, much slicker machine for size & looks and you can feel the weight difference (not that you will be carrying it around🤣)just an all round better finish. Can't get my data to transfer though but no biggie, about to start up Alan Wake 2 for the first time, can't wait!!
@get2sammyb Thanks for the update, do you know if the Space Marine 2 is Pro optimised, can't find a reliable source seems but not yet? (it is one I have saved for the Pro experience!)
Such a shame, I knew the Pro wouldn't be scalped because of the price so I suppose they went for the next best thing - the disc drive, thankfully got mine as soon as it was announced but not fair on those that didn't
@LikelySatan Great shout, The Ascent is awesome and proper gritty I thought, think it is or was on PS+, I am hopeful the upcoming Neon Blood will be decent too!
@morrisseymuse Brilliant thank you very much for this reply, I am intrigued by the game so would like to give it a go and now I can but obviously that will have to be in arachnophobia mode 😂
@OldGamer999 I don't think I will get much sleep on Wednesday night at this rate 😂 it's great getting new hardware, hope my delivery is early Thursday morning & I wonder if the first boot up will be unique like the base PS5 was?
Shame those that get gifted a Pro for free also get a stand whilst we have to pay for one on top of the £700 (£800 with disc)! Can't wait though, don't wanna wish my life away but why can't it be Thursday already 😂
@Yagami Hi mate, I got my physical copy of Alan Wake 2 last week which I am itching to play but holding on for my Pro next week, Stellar Blade was the other game I was choosing between going first. Not played either and starting to get excited now - 7 days to go!!!

Re: Remedy Still Working on Alan Wake 2 PS5 Pro Patch Enhancements
@JustCameHereToSay Nice one mate, I was thinking I can't be so lucky as to have had no issues and all the others have! Good to know I am sane
@Major_Player Spot on mate, I can only say it runs brilliantly on the Pro, as for the base model - no idea!

Re: Star Wars Outlaws PS5 Does Away with Forced Stealth in Major Update
Already finished and enjoyed it, this will definitively make it more fun for those who are yet to jump in but if you want action, stick to the EA Jedi games (can't believe I am saying that).
Re: 'No Plans' for Cyberpunk 2077 PS5 Pro Patch, CD Projekt Red Confirms
Got the plat and won't be going back, I'll be honest I would have gone back for the DLC with a Pro patch and I still might but less of a rush now!
