I had a little go at Dirt, seems pretty standard, quite nice graphically, decent use of haptics. Haven’t tried online yet.

Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) discuss United's fantastic win away against Athletic Club in the semi-final of the Europa League.
They also pick out the positives of United's 4-3 loss away at Brentford, and Nik reviews a day out at Old Trafford watching Manchester United Women qualify for the Champions League.
I can't see me needing an extra SSD for some time, to be honest. I very rarely have more than one game going at a time, and even if I do I try to keep the number of games I actually have downloaded to a minimum. As a result, I still got plenty of room left. Appreciate not everyone does this.
I am watching The Witcher at the moment. Quite enjoying it. Is it worth picking up any of the games on PS5 or are they better on PC? Also what's the cheapest way to grab them at the minute does anyone know? They still seem to be quite expensivo
GOTY edition is £6.99 on psn I believe? That has all the DLC included too. It's also getting a free upgrade some time this year apparently. It's great on PS4, nevermind the PS5. Not played it on PC but a lot of the mods I've seen on YouTube don't really do a great deal.
A young nephew of mine is looking to play against me on fifa 22 but I haven’t got it yet was just wondering does fifa do cross generation between the PS5 and PS4? As I will rarely play it otherwise?
I think if you buy the PS5 version you get access to the PS4 version. Only if you get a certain edition though.
His father mentioned something to me about ultimate edition, would this be the one I have to buy yeah?
There's many great mods on Nexus and you get 60fps and above on PC. PS5 is still locked to 30 I believe.
Nah to play your nephew you'll need to download the PS4 version of the game (which automatically comes with the game - you just download it)
Was reading up on it apparently you buy PS5 ultimate edition and it gives you access to PS4 edition as well so I can play him. It better as I just splashed out on it there now
Ah I thought you had automatic entitlement to the PS4 version with any edition of the game, but now that you mention it I remember buying the ultimate edition for my own nephews this yearWas reading up on it apparently you buy PS5 ultimate edition and it gives you access to PS4 edition as well so I can play him.

Yeah it’s kinda bullshit on Sony’s part that they didn’t make the standard edition cross gen as well, but oh well…Ah I thought you had automatic entitlement to the PS4 version with any edition of the game, but now that you mention it I remember buying the ultimate edition for my own nephews this year
Tbh I think it's more of an EA decision than a Sony one. Plenty of other publishers have allowed the dual entitlement into this year too.
Playing Kena. It’s good fun! Quite relaxing too.
Just you wait.
The bosses are definitely harder than I expected but manageable so far. I’m waiting for that to change.
Oh you poor creature.
Ok I've pre ordered Elden Ring.
Is it the case that the PS4 version of Horizon Forbidden West gets a free upgrade because if so I'll pre order that as it's cheaper?

It is.
Elaborate plz
Just wait til you get to Taro.
Corrupted Taro? He’s dead pal.
Just wait til you get to the next boss.
Stone Guardian now dead.
I seem to be stuck in a never ending loop trying to access my stupid EA account and link to PSN.
The game tells me I need to reset my password, so I follow the guidance on the EA help page which tells me to go to the login page and use the “proceed with” option and choose PSN, which I did and it said I need to reset my password and to enter my email, it send me a link, I reset the password and it says success.
Then I try to access the account to link it to the PSN account and we go back to step one with it telling me to reset my password.
At this stage I’m ready to launch the controller out the window.
Any ideas?

And before Elvis says reset the password - piss off in advance!!
I would never.
This is driving me mental, Madden 22 is basically unusable.
Over the past few days my PS5 has just turned off randomly during gameplay 2 or 3 times.
I can’t put it down to overheating or anything like that since I was only about an hour in.
Anyone who experienced this issue? Any suggestions?

Wait to see if it's still doing it tomorrow? I'm out of ideas beyond that
Wow just met the difficulty spike on Kena. Just managed to beat the corrupted Woodsmith on the fourth attempt! Only on normal difficulty but man he was hard. What a fun boss fight though, I thought I’d bodged it too because I used both healing items in the first half and thought I had no chance of getting through the rest. Somehow though I managed to time by dodges perfectly in the second half and then finally met him at the end with a massive Rot hammer move. Ill remember that one, great fight.
This does bring me to one my issues with dark souls games, I love the challenge of the bosses, but I really hate the fact that in souls games I have to not only beat the boss but also trek back through the previous enemies. I know that’s the fun for many people but I just don’t think I fully get that, as I get bored doing the same thing again. Checkpoint just before the bosses seem more my style.

This is the problem with soulless videogame companies who just want to milk their customers at every turn while providing a lacklustre overall product - their support is usually terrible as they care so little about their fanbase. EA are quite bad too.
100%. I have no issues with challenging fights but trekking through the same place you already cleared over and over to get back to it sucks balls.
He's not too bad. Taro and the last boss are the toughest.
Is this where it’s meant to get hard? I beat the woodsmith first go. Just lots of dodging and fecking up the thing in the middle.
I hope so because I found it tough! I did enjoy it though.
If you didn't struggle with Taro, it's probably never going to get tough for you. That was the first real difficulty spike and while some of the other bosses were pretty challenging, it never really got harder than that. I thought Taro was really, really hard, so seeing your posts I'm now wondering if I played this all wrong or I'm just that bad.
I always found most of the hardest bosses in Soulsborne games either have saves just before the fight or a short hike where you can ignore everything. I can only recall a handful of particularly bad boss runs, and I believe at least two of those were in Dark Souls 2 DLC. Lud & Zallen can burn in hell.
Taro was the same for me and anyone else I know who played it, maybe Solius played it on easy or is pro.
Well I've only played one Soulsborne, Bloodborne to be exact, and made it to the first boss and then had to go back to the start and get through a big horde of enemies again that had already killed me like 10 times, and swiftly gave up. I was assuming it didn't get any less repetitive than that
That's usually a sign you missed a shortcut or something. Both potential first bosses (Cleric Beast and Father Gascoigne) have runs that should allow you to run past all enemies. I get that it's annoying, it's just something I got used to, I guess.Taro was the same for me and anyone else I know who played it, maybe Solius played it on easy or is pro.
