Gaming PlayStation 5

Currently enjoying the Elden Ring closed network test - one of the best game i have ever played!
I wonder when we will find out if Returnal will be at a good price for Black Friday. I realise Black Friday itself is a specific date, but you normally get the sales on PSN several days ahead of this
Is this for the PS5 version? Don't suppose you have a link? Cheers
It's the ps4 version but you get a free upgrade with it.
Just managed to pick one up on Amazon this morning (all gone now btw). In two minds whether to keep or sell it, but going to have a look at games this evening which will steer my choice.
Yeah I saw that. It was BS that it's only available to Prime members. Also costing €530 not including delivery. Feck that. I'm trying to score one for a friend but no luck.
Rumoured discounts for Black Friday
Also apparently Tesco are doing R&C for £25.
Guardians of the the Galaxy is going to be £35 on the PS Store, apparently. I'll probably grab it for that price.

Is that one of the deals that seems to be specific to certain stores? I see those sometimes on hotukdeals. Some crazy bargains to be had
2021 has not been a great year for releases has it. Have got Hades planned for Christmas and that's all.
Roll on 2022. As well as the new games coming out i'm hoping Bloodborne gets a PS5 upgrade. Witcher 3 and CyberPunk are getting theirs next year so I can hope.

Which isn't a 2021 game anyway.
I am on with Hades at the moment, I think it’s fantastic. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it too.
Bah no returnal on sale?
I finally got a PS5. my friend is going to be stoked to see what I got him for Christmas.
I've seen rumours on reddit it'll be 30% off, but that is one game that is worth the full price.
Far Cry 6 is currently £40 on amazon. I know it's the same shit as the last 3 with a new lick of paint but I always enjoy them.
Torn whether to get that or see if Guardians of the Galaxy does get a big discount as rumoured.
If ratchet gets a big discount I would take the plunge on it. Really if I’m being sensible I shouldn’t buy anything as I still have a long back log to get through, but when am I ever sensible.
PS5 is not worth getting atm if you've got a ps4. Only Elden Ring is worth looking forward to atm. None of the games so far are must haves.
Are these PSN store discounts?
If you like Elden Ring then the Demon Souls Remake is a must have, its incredible.
Already have but played the original to death. Remake is good but they could have made so many improvements beyond graphics
Is Elden Ring like Skyrim?
Yeah. You may find better offers elsewhere.
I'm seriously considering Riders Republic. Its 32 on amazon as today's deal.
It's Elder Scrolls for grown ups.
Same RPG elements?
Its an RPG with stats levelling like Skyrim, its nothing like get a quest go do this talk to this person and so on though.
The game usually functions on killing a set number of bosses which eventually progresses you to the end, its basically left completely to you in what order or where you go.
The combat is actually good and requires a certain skill level to progress and punishes you super hard for any mistakes.
You put points into things like strength, endurance but the gameplay is not like anything else really.
The Souls games have spawned their own subgenre of gaming. They're akin to 3d metroidvanias and are obviously much more difficult than Skyrim and other fantasy RPGs.
You may be best testing the water with an existing Souls game as many people are put off by the high difficulty and lack of hand holding.
Spoony struggled with Metroid, don’t point him towards a Souls game 
Thanks for the replies.Spoony struggled with Metroid, don’t point him towards a Souls game
Anyway, I completed MD! So there! Properly overrated game, not a patch on SM, though.
I've never understood the appeal of the Souls games myself. They just seem like hard work.
Yeah I'm the same, gaming is supposed to be enjoyable for me. Bollocks to getting smashed constantly.
If you are a big gamer than PS5 is a monumental improvement on PS4 like literally another world in terms of speed, graphics, pretty much everything. If you are a casual gamer than I get it but the quality of life improvements alone are worth it even if you never buy another PS5 game.
I really want to get into them. I actually have really enjoyed the first 15-20 hours of dark souls but then I just lack the hook. I feel like you really have to force yourself to play them which I struggle with. Maybe one day I’ll get through then but I suspect the open world nature of Elden Ring will appeal far more to me.
Same, I don't have the time or mental resilience to be punished and sent back to the beginning all the time. Tried them a few times, same outcome ... tears and frustration.
Glad someone said it
Is it quiet? Because I got a PS4 Pro not long ago and that thing is obnoxiously loud. Was wondering about picking up a PS5 just to play my PS4 games quietly.
Yeah. I don't understand why they are so popular. I like enjoyment in my games. Hardest game I played was Cuphead. Nearly broke me. I died about 500 times in that game. I wish I was joking.
Theres a reason you like COD
Mine is silent but afew have reported on a whirring disk drive. I think at worst it’s still negligible compared to the PS4. I went from the original PS4 and that thing sounded like a jet engine all the time. Many of the best PS4 games have also received PS5 updates which are night and day too. Well worth it personally.
A lot of professional gamers about. Or so it seems.
