Ashley Posted January 20, 2022 Posted January 20, 2022 I saw someone on Twitter mention the cat and mouse thing and thought it was a metaphor for a captcha thing and then saw an image. What the hell
Julius Posted January 21, 2022 Posted January 21, 2022 (edited) New plates have arrived! Appropriate music. First time using PlayStation Direct, very impressed by the quick turnaround. Only real downside is that now some of my accessories don't match the console. I'm still not fully sold on all black, even seeing it in person, as the matte black plates do look a little on the cheap side, but it does match the rest of my set-up a bit more than the white. I'll give it a couple of weeks to see if it grows on me! Edited January 21, 2022 by Julius 2
drahkon Posted January 21, 2022 Posted January 21, 2022 (edited) Sorry, it's in German 1004 hours played, a little less than half of it came from PS5 games. Impressive and it shows what a great first year the console had. Absolutely incredible 22 Platinum trophies. Honestly felt like I acquired less. Not too shabby, though Edited January 21, 2022 by drahkon 1
Will Posted January 21, 2022 Posted January 21, 2022 That looks great @Julius! Think I'm going to go for the Cosmic Red once I have somewhere to put my PS5. 1
Julius Posted January 26, 2022 Posted January 26, 2022 Looks like the ability to upload gameplay clips and screenshots directly from the PlayStation 5 to the PS App is finally being rolled out. For now it looks like it's being rolled out in the US, it's seemingly for PS5's only, and will be limited to automatically uploading your captures moving forwards, rather than giving you the option to manually select. One step at a time, but this will finally save time in my group chats on Fridays when one of us witnesses something hilarious in GTA, that's for sure! 1
Julius Posted January 26, 2022 Posted January 26, 2022 (edited) Picked up some small card cutouts of the PlayStation logo in PS1 and PS2 colours from Etsy to add a bit more colour to my PS5: I think I'm leaning towards the PS1 colourway - the black specifically really reminds me of the Net Yaroze PS1 dev kit photos I've seen. In terms of the PS2 colourway I'd probably be leaning towards matching it with the white faceplate? It came about through sheer laziness when testing the different combinations and not wanting to remove the bulkier faceplate, but I kind of like how the PS5 appears with a bit of a panda look... Any opinions welcome (because I don't know which I want to commit to! ) With a bit more practice I think I've got a fairly reliable system now to not scratch the black plastic underneath the faceplates when removing them, which I managed on my first attempt last week. You basically need to make a '4' with your arms by laying the PS5 flat on a table with the PS logo up and the bottom of the console facing you. Grab the corner with the PS logo with your right hand, and the opposite corner (closest corner on your right) with your left hand (left arm tucked under your right arm). Pull both corners up slightly and then slightly pull towards you, using your thumb on your left hand to limit the console's movement - I found that it should detach pretty easily!

drahkon Posted January 26, 2022 Posted January 26, 2022 Black + PS2 all the way. If you choose anything other than that, you'll be banned. 1

Hero-of-Time Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 Here are the results of my 2021 wrap up. The top game on the list is hilarious. Panzer Dragoon is a game that lasts around 45 mins but the developers decided to stick a platinum trophy in the game that required the player to play for 100 hours. Any time I wasn't on my PS4 I would fire the game up and leave it sitting on the menu in order to rack up the time. Reminds me of the time I plyed through Baten Kaitos and one of the cards required you to leave it in your deck for a 100 hours or so in order for it to change. My poor Gamecube got a hammering while I was at work. Also, i've no idea why the time is showing at 99 hours when it I obviously played for 100! Yakuza 0 is in there due to me attempting to get the platinum. I spent a stupid amount of time doing all the sidequests but i've still yet to platinum the game. I still need to finish the game on the hardest difficulty setting and do all of the fights that feature on the main menu. I'm happy to see Dark Souls 2 and 3 make the cut. I played them for the first time last year and platinumed them both. Fantastic games. Avengers...man, this was an absolute grind to get the platinum. Lots of tedious and repetitive tasks. Happy to have it in my collection though. 59 hours spent on my PS5. Not a bad going since I only started playing it on Christmas day. I bought it the week before Christmas but kept it for Christmas as a present to myself 3 3

Hero-of-Time Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 3 minutes ago, drahkon said: Which game(s)? First up was Ratchet. I wanted this to be my first PS5 platinum trophy. I pretty much finished this in a single sitting on Christmas Day, with the platinum unlocking at 1:55 the following morning. Next was Astrobot. Absolutely adored this and I can't wait to see what the team do next. It was such a nostalgia trip. Demon's Souls was last. It was great to finally play this game and see where it all started. Platinum was much easier compared to the Dark Souls games but I still loved it to bits. I played Kena at the start of January but I don't think that would have counted towards to total. Amazing game that has a platinum whose difficulty rivals some of the Souls games. It was a tough challenge but a very satisfying platinum to unlock. Returnal is sat waiting to be played (bought this when I got the console) but I set myself the challenge of playing and unlocking the platinum for each of Housemarque's PS4 games before I would allow myself to start this. I had to get through Nex Machina, Matterfall, Super Stardust and Dead Nation before I could play Returnal. It was one hell of a journey that really pushed my skills as a gamer. Nex Machina is something very, very special. I unlocked the final platinum (Dead Nation) just yesterday and so I'm now free to start whenever I want. Oh, and I hate the Dual Sense. I knock off the adaptive triggers and vibration in any game that allows for it. Well, except Astrobot. I kept them on for that. I'm honestly thinking of buying a new PS4 controller just to use with my PS5. 2

I dislike the so called immersion. When I first fired up Ratchet I honestly thought my pad was broken when the shoulder button felt stiff when firing a weapon. It then dawned on me what was going on and so I instantly knocked it off. I briefly played through Drift 5 to unlock the platinum via save transfer and it felt awful when compared to the PS4 version that I had played through. Stuff like this just isn't for me. I hate the joy-con vibrations and I knew I'd dislike the dual sense. 1

I didn’t like it in whatever shooting game I tried as like you, firing a weapon felt really stiff. Thought it was good in the Spider-man games though, subtly used for the webswinging.

On Drift 5 it just felt like too much, with the controller vibrating with every bump and crash. Depending on how it turns out, I may pick up GT but I'm concerned it will be the same kinda thing on that as well.
Happenstance Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 Hopefully it’s one of those things where they learn as we go through the gen what works and what doesn’t. It may be impressive but heavy use of something like this isn’t necessarily a good thing. 1

Ronnie Posted February 9, 2022 Posted February 9, 2022 Surely this is a bug? You uninstall a game and the game's thumbnail/title disappears with it from the Media Gallery??
