Seriously man Elvis already posted that in the correct thread. What's wrong with you?
Stop talking about PC gaming and other consoles in this thread. That goes against the thread rules set out at the bottom.
This thread is about PS5 news only. What is wrong with you?
Thank you very much.
And for all you who think 60fps is buttery smooth. It’s not even enjoyable to play at
I hope you get your money back but I do think it’ll be tough.
Cause you willingly sent the money, the bank could look at you as the scammer. You’re obviously not, but in other instances, people will try anything.
the frustrating thing is, is the amount of scammers, everywhere.
And they get away with it so much.
when I was trying to buy a pair of headphones on eBay, this guy was constantly ‘message me on WhatsApp’in his description. I flagged it to eBay 10 or so times and it never got took down.
without actually thinking about the logistics. It could so easily be preventable. People don’t need more than one eBay account. If you had to provide ID for example, before making an account. People would shy away from scamming.
But it’s not just eBay. They’re all as bad. Facebook, shpock etc. It’d amazing how many people unfortunately fall for these things, but without any comeback, why stop?
I bought a monitor from Shpock. He wanted bank transfer only and I refused. Said shpock have a way of being the middle man and I pay a small fee. After some reluctance, he agreed. He sent me an envelope with a sports direct receipt in it.
I don’t know what he was trying to do as I just claimed the money back, but he did send it special delivery (so he lost out on £6
)I think he would have claimed he had proof he sent it. But the weight on his forged receipt was higher than what special delivery offer. It may have been a harder time if I didn’t see that error, but surely the post office could confirm the weight was a piece of paper and not a 32” ultra wide
Disappointing to see you talk this like after all I've defended you on here.
You wont see that money again now and i have experience in such things working as a forensic auditor and dealing with frauds. Usually you have a very small window to put a trace on the funds and attempt a recall. Fraudsters usually have fake accounts where the money comes into and then it is moved almost immediately and the trail becomes difficult. I hope you reported this to the police.I hope you get your money back but I do think it’ll be tough.

So despite me owning a PS4 since release, I never played through God of War. Obviously it's free on the PS Plus Collection on PS5 so I thought I'd give it a go. Surprise, surprise, it's actually really good! Who would have thought?
Probably about 8 hours or so in and having a really good time with it. I will say the upgrade system and the skills, etc, is a bit overkill. There's way too much going on, and the fast travel system ain't brilliant. But apart from that, it's great. I know they released a patch yesterday updating the game for next-gen, but I haven't downloaded that yet.
To b fair, the game already looks and plays great as it is.

Enemies do scale accordingly but when you reach a certain level, main quest becomes easy. Try beating those Valkyries. They were extremely challenging for me even with upgrades
Valkyries were such good fun.
Yeah, I don't think I've encountered them yet. I have heard they're supposed to be challenging, though. I assume they're a bit later on in the game.
I wasn't a huge fan of Valkyries or the game in general tbh. Played it just after bloodborne and died a hell of a lot more times to a valkyrie with an unblockable attack that takes 3/4 of your health in one hit than any bloodborne boss. They were just kind of cheesy and annoying imo.
Combat felt sluggish and didn't flow until i'd unlocked a dozen various attacks, enemies ... were fine i guess. The rpg progression and crafting was shallow and didn't add anything positive to the game. Haldir or whatever was fun the first couple times but boring by the end. Exploring and travelling around I didn't really enjoy, kratos was a bit of a lump and going from playing journey or hell even anthem were travelling from one point to another was fun it just felt monotonous.
The story was very, very good. Mostly.
I'd still rate it as a solid 8/10 despite all that but it was just good.

Some numbers here from Sony for the third quarter of the fiscal year 2020, between Oct. 1, and Dec. 31, 2020.

Is it still impossible to get one of these in the UK?
Not impossible, but you're probably going to have to get lucky.
PS5StockAlertUK (not sure if they're that reliable. Some say they are) are predicting these dates for new stock:
Argos - 04/02
GAME UK - 09/02
Very - 09/02”
Just got ours here in India.
Man, the controller is an absolute marvel. Amazing.

Enjoy! I assume you’ve been astro botting? By far the best demonstration of the controller you can ask for.
Just used the Cards feature (and in-game help specifically) for the HRA puzzle in Control. Pinned the video and then followed it. Great idea and I'm sold. Hope it gets used...
My brother bought a high end gaming PC and a PS5 which sort of killed any joy of buying a PS5 given how much more powerful the PC is. Not that it's a slight on the console, as PCs are always going to be more powerful. The PS5 is anyway all about being able to play high quality games especially exclusives at an affordable price. But interesting to see how a next gen console is next gen based on what you're used to really.
I imagine 60FPS can feel a bit cheap if every game has it. But Doom 2016 which I'm playing now being an anomaly for me at 60FPS feels great for the kind of game it is. Death Stranding at 60 may have felt a bit shitty.
What GPU does the PC have? Think PS5 is equivalent to something like an RTX 2080.
Examples? I had to go back to 30fps for the first time in years to play The Medium at acceptable settings on my PC and is was downright painful.
Examples of what?
Apex and Warzone at 60 is bad once you're used to higher.
Also as The Division was a demanding game, when that dropped to 80-90fps you could really tell.
My comment wasn't a dig at the consoles btw.
It's so weird how, even for me, 30fps was the norm, acceptable and great to play at. It's just strange how your eyes adapt.
If I was a console gamer still, I'd think 60fps was amazing and there was no going back, but again, as I am not used to more, even 60 feels bad.
It's simply a case of, until you experience more, the norm is perfect.
In saying that though, I think playing on a bigger screen definitely softens the blow.
I played a plagues tale (great game btw) at 60 on the TV and for 95% of the time, that was fine
Haven't a clue tbh. I lost interest in PC gaming a long time back. It's something fancy CPU with a see-through side and three rings on the front which is about as far as my understanding goes. It apparently does run Cyberpunk buttery smooth with nearly everything tuned up.
Oh right sorry just didn't know the angle you were coming from, that's fair enough. I've played games at above 60fps myself(Titanfall 2 being a recently one) but in my experiences the difference has never been as substantial as going from 30-60.
Must look incredible
be interesting to see what CDPR do with the PS5/Series X versions once they patch out all the bugs. Hopefully more than just graphical overall.Must look incredible
So trueI was the same and i enjoyed it so much it took me ages to finish the main game. The challenges, the upgrading etc. I think i managed to get another 20/30 hours out the game.
Been voted the best next gen console.
to be fair that's like winning a "least awful person" award against Adolf Hitler.
Hitler being the series X, obviously.
That's being very hyperbolic, I must say. Hitler wasn't THAT bad
Sounds like that’s that then.
It was my own awards ceremony but yes I think you’re right.
100%. What bugs me most though was the constant push back from people who had no idea what it actually means. Even now, despite being told otherwise, some STILL think it's all about visuals in terms of fps and there was that daft little debate about what the human eye can actually see
. Some just have to force an opinion when it would be far better to either be willing to learn something, or back out of the discussion.I'm glad people can now see what 60fps is like, it's great for us all that it's finally the norm on the consoles. I just hope lessons are learned and they listen when we say that is still behind the curve, wait until you experience 120/144 and above on a consistent basis.
My personal view is anything above 60 isn't really needed with a controller with a mouse its instantly obvious when you are playing at 60 or below and it does effect your ability to play in shooters for definite.100%.

With a controller the difference for me is negligible, tbf i'm just crap with a controller it amazes me how good some people are with them, so maybe its just me.
