Takes away the keyboard mouse bullshit

I spend all day using a keyboard and mouse. It just doesn’t appeal as a thing to spend downtime on.

it’s a world of pain getting a PS5 controller to work reliably

Mine works perfectly?

Actually, I just remembered my PC doesn’t have Bluetooth. So there’s several drivers needed and a program to run each time I wanted to use it. Even with a Bluetooth adaptor the controller didn’t want to work. Got an Xbox one and it worked right away.

 

[R3k1355]

You didn't just plug it in?

This Months PS+ membership looks canny, downloaded F1 2023 and Sifu, been interested in Sifu, anyone played it yet? Be having a go on that soon

First F1 game I've played in about 7 years. It's a bit wanky how it's all set up, but It's alright. I feel like an absolute noob as I've had to turn the bloody racing line on for some of these "new" tracks. The game cements my view that Baku is w**k.

This, my PC hasn't got Bluetooth, tried a couple of different dongles, couldn't get the PS5 controller to work, bought an Xbox controller connected straight away, plus most PC games have the Xbox buttons listed on the control screen.

Also, the PS5 controller may have some really nice features like adaptive triggers, but ergonomically the Xbox controller is far superior which is arguably the most important thing when it comes to controllers.

Any good co-op (2 players) online games for the PS5

It Takes Two.

 

[R3k1355]

Dead Island 2 is co-op

 

[Geddes]

Thanks for the suggestions, I’ve heard of it takes 2 and not of heard of dead island 2, I know someone who plays Ghost Recon Breakpoint and found out that is a co op. I’ll see what gameplay those 2 games are like later on. Any other suggestions?

 

[Jonnio]

Having played Ghost Recon Wildlands and Breakpoint recently Wildlands seemed a bit better to get into. Very similar though.

Anyone playing hell divers 2? Decent?

You can get it for free if you've got enough playstation stars points.

 

[Geddes]

How does the Star Points work, what do you have to do and how do you get them?

 

[R3k1355]

PlayStation what now?

I thought it would be really good based on reviews and it turned out not to be really good.

That’s a shame as seen/heard good stuff

It’s not bad with at least 3 of you. If you’re not working together then you can get overrun pretty quickly.

 

[R3k1355]

Yea I'd heard it's impossible playing solo. Guess I'll give that game a miss

You can drop in with randoms, most of which won’t communicate though 😅

Or you'll just be trying to casually chat with a mate and get dropped in with a try hard who's whining down the mic. 😆

I have absolutely no idea 😂. Something like you get points for playing certain games or earning trophies or whatever and points make prizes. I've looked at a it twice now on the app and I've nearly got 5000 points and some pictures of some playstation related crap that I've got not idea what I'm supposed to be able to do with. Yay!

Can't they just scale the game to the number of people playing?

I don't want to play with random dickheads, and I don't wanna wait until a bunch of people are all free at the same time to actually get on.

You would get away with doing the easier missions to start with, but as the difficulty ramps up you really need more people.
