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.

I understand.

@Cub. shuns proper PC games too. 😪

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?

 

[Geddes]

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

 

[BIFCAIDS]

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?

There’s a few on my friend list who play this, I’ve never played it

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.

I was playing GTA5 for a future video for my channel. I recorded it and was on the Share Factory Stuido and noticed the video was all distorted, glitchy and all that couldn't make the video out at all really. I was hoping that it would of been the Fidelity / Performance settings on the GTA5 game as i was messinig about with it. The gta5 game me playing the game is perfectly alright though. Just when in the editing of the video it's messed up. So i went into RDR2 game and started playing that and recorded footage and went into the editing and that was perfect. I noticed there was an update on Share Factory and wondering if it's to do with that.

Anyone has had any issues with the video footage on the Share Factory?

Hello, welcome to the LordGedi YouTube channel. I'm a casual gamer, I first started off playing Battlefield 2142 on the PC many years ago and then moved over to the PlayStation playing games like the original Call of Duty Modern Warfare, Modern Warfare 2, Final Fantasy 7 and Gran Turismo...

Guys, I'm well out of the console game but fancy one to just have a play on. Saw this in costco the other day and wandered if it was a good deal?

Someone said that disc? I've only ever used discs in the past with old PlayStations and Xbox's.

Good deal but hasn’t that expired now?

 

[Jekyll]

That was on Sunday when I took it and I've only just seen the date on the pic.

When you say good deal, you mean price or spec? I genuinely have no clue on what to look for and what's a decent one/price.

Reasonably good price, as they are going for £480 at Smyths for example at the moment. BUT Black Friday is round the corner so I’d imagine more savings are to be had.

As for the console you have a choice of two. The disc edition is the one I’d go for over the digital one imo as at least you can buy physical media instead of being at the mercy of the PlayStation store.

 

[Geddes]

Even better deal if you can claim the VAT back, yeah I would go for Disc version too, the prices on PS store even with their sales prices their still pricey

 

[Jekyll]

Thanks guys 👍
