Starting this later. I usually hate water-based games and levels but I've read only good things about this so I'll see how it is.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
I have managed to yet again download Skyrim and start another playthrough. Doesn’t seem to matter what device, I still gravitate to it. Think I know where every single piece of loot is on the game but still I get drawn back, incredible game, possibly the best of all time for me. Shame I likely won’t be getting the next scrolls game on PlayStation.
I don't think the storage space would be an issue if they had expandable storage actually ready by the time it released. Bit silly it's taking this long.
I think its a bit crap it was awesome at the time but the combat is absolutely shocking.
I honestly love it. I just don’t think there’s an RPG that comes close to giving you so much freedom. I know it goes against popular opinion but I enjoy the combat too, I like the control scheme of having left hand on LT and right hand on RT and being able to duel wield, weapons or magic. I really don’t think another game has ever had quite the same impact with me.
tbf i struggle to think of a first person RPG that's similar to it without fallout which is obviously the same.
Thats a fair point.
Yeh that’s the thing, I always try and make a mental list of why I love it more than other RPG games in the genre like the Witcher 3, or dragon age but I find it hard to put my finger on the reasons, likely it’s a combination of factors and one thing I think Bethesda are brilliant at is making an interesting and engaging world. Fallout is very much the same but I’m not as big a fan of the lore behind it.
Yeah, I'm still enjoying it. There is some busy work making sure you have enough water and food to replenish your vitals, but I'm about 5 hours in now and still having a good time.
Is it essentially a survivor game then? Is it quite a chilled one?
Where's the best place for one that won't brick the ps5?
I use this one and have had zero issues.

And what’s the situation when it comes to load times etc. Does this effectively just mean you are playing a PS4 version with standard load times?
Yeah load times are as standard as in any other generation. Did think of investing in an SSD but read they’re not that much quicker and for the increased price decided it wasn’t worth it. It’s just nice to have all my games downloaded and not have to worry about deleting stuff.
Will invest in an internal SSD for the PS5 when Sony gets their act together and tells us which ones are compatible.
You can actually opt to play it on creative mode where you don't have to worry about food/drink/oxygen, etc., and just build stuff and explore. Similar to Minecraft in that way. I just opted to play on Survival. It can get a little busy keeping an eye on your water intake/food intake. Also, you have to keep an eye on your oxygen levels when you're diving down to explore.
I don't typically like Survival games, but I'm having a good time so far. How long that will last, I don't know. I don't normally stick with these types of games for that long, but who knows. It's going alright at the moment.
But I have a ton of TV series on the go and watch depending on what I feel like.You wouldn't half watch a film then start another one, not having it!
You only watch one programme at a time?
Incorrect, external ssd is absolutely quicker than an HDD.
I've got a 1 TB ssd which I got for £85 and I use it for ps4 games. It's 2-3 times faster to load than the standard ps4 hdd. Even when I had it on my ps4 it knocked 2 minutes off the load time of destiny 2.
Must have read a dodgy website then
To be fair I don’t mind, there’s only a handful of games where load times are frustrating (looking at you, Horizon).I think what you might have read is that you can't take full advantage of ssd speed as ps4 cannot go above a certain speed even if the drive is capable of it. It is still definitely faster than HDD and noticeably so.Must have read a dodgy website then
Got mine this weekend. It's size is almost laughable enough to not annoy me. But ultimately, it still does. Also my disk drive makes an awful buzzing sound for a few minutes when it's (presumably?) reading off the disk. I've read online that this is normal, but man does it sound horrid. Overall I'm not a huge fan of the design. Controller feels amazing though.
Other than that, it's wonderful. Days Gone and God of War in 4k/60fps (I think) look and feel so smooth, as is everything UI related. The PS Plus collection has an absurd amount of gaming goodness in it. Very happy with it in all ways except for it's size and that disc drive sound.

Cheers, will look into getting one.
Fun game. Looking forward to the next one. May wait for the update then platinum it. Still need to play through on challenge mode.
Just ordered far cry 5, as I fancy it, this of course confirms it as next months ps plus game. Enjoy!
Goddamn it, I had one in my basket on Amazon, chose my address only for it to then tell me they had no stock. This was after about 25 attempts when it told me I had no Internet connection which was clearly nonsense.

For anyone planning on purchasing anything from PSN today, you are better off waiting.
Hoping they have doom eternal for £15-£18 like before
I've been stalking Dragon Age Inquisition for 2 months, surely that will be going back on sale tomorrow.
Just bought Ghost of Tshuima 2 days ago. How annoying
Ghost of Tsushima down to £32 @Leg-End

fair play they called it!I got one yesterday mate, I’d recommend using Amazon smile instead. It’s Amazon but they donate to charity with every purchase, it gets way less website traffic
Literally about to download it nowYou are welcome
you are a leg-end!Not even mad, it’s a good game so far.
Have any of you played far cry 5? Just ordered a cheap copy from eBay as I’m keen to play it.
Yeah it’s good. I love the Far Cry games, 4 was my favourite but 5 isn’t far behind it. Can’t wait for 6 which is out this year.
Full sale as lazy @esmufc07 couldn't be bothered as he was busy creating Daily Mail headline threads.
Yeah they’re good but I never end up finishing them for some reason! Awesome I’m looking forward to it now.
6 looks brilliant to be fair can’t wait for that.
Thanks for this, really tempted by Ghosts now.
Swear its just the same games for the past 2 years always in the sale
Mad that its still cheaper to pick up a physical copy then any of the digital sales, remember when we were told digital games would be cheaper as there is no physical production
