Ragnarok is fantastic. Loved every bit of that game. Plus it has one of the best free DLC packages of all time in Vallhalla.

On FF7 Rebirth. The graphics mode is the way to go. The performance mode looks very strange. It's smooth, but low res like a Switch game. Graphics mode is super clean looking. Kinda wish they had a Balanced 40 fps mode for those with 120 htz TV's. Forspoken had it and it's the best of both worlds.

I was shocked by how blurry the Rebirth demo looked on performance mode. I’m not playing the full game anytime soon so maybe there will be a PS6 version available when I get around to it.
 
I started Rebirth...but also midway through Suicide Squad, playing helldinvers, and some nights Baldurs Gate (with my son who lives in D.C.)

Sadly i think helldivers would be more fun but I have no friends that play. All my CoD comrades are Xbox players. Yes, even my wife and son (who has a 5) said he has too much of a backlog to pick up Helldivers which leads me to wonder.....

Is it possible to be spread too thin on the current games one is playing?

I definitely couldn't play rebirth, baldurs gate and suicide squad all at the same time. I know that I wouldn't finish any of them. I think an online game or puzzle game along with a single player story type game works well for me, but much more than that and I can't remember controls or story beats and I get overwhelmed
 
Yeah I wouldn't be able to do more than like 2 RPGs at most, and it's probably still better to do one at a time. I usually for games I'm playing are a rogue lite spot (like something that has a complete run in a hour), picross when I want to play it, a main game like an RPG, a visual novel (I can read a bit each day) and ongoing games that I can play now and then (MTG Arena is my choice for this usually except for this boring new set). I can't juggle main games too well and find it better to concentrate on them or I wont make meaningful progress.
 
For me it depends on the games. Like I can do 2 completely different sub genre rpgs at the same time if they are easy to pick up and play. Like srpg and turn based or a short action rpg.

Sometime I need a Break from a game. Like I was working on banner of the maid and just got through a double chapter so I switched to a action rpg title.
 
Any auto fans in here? There's a Porsche ad for Final Fantasy, which compares the Porsche 911 from 1997 to the modern one like the original FF7 and the modern one. Kind of a weird collaboration since Avalanche is all about saving the planet while cars pollute it.
 
Picked up Catherine Deluxe edition $10 and Shakedown Hawaii $4 from the sale. Just ordered Catherine on Switch a few days ago and of course it goes on sale for $10 on PSN right after. I'll be returning that as soon as it arrives.

Sane price though unless you want trophies

Edit - Oh geez, as I thought that read PS5. Yep it is a Monday and I need to wake up.

Sadly my PS plus went dark back in November for the first time since PS3 days. Need a good deal to bring me back into the fold.

I've actually been surprised at the responses out there, as I figured I'd be in the minority of those skipping FF7 for other games right now but apparently I'm not alone by a longshot. I think SE thought they'd be the big fish making a splash launching whenever they felt like, but with such an insanely crowded window for RPGs this month--they overestimated their worth. It also just hit me today that this is the first FF release I have not gotten on day one. . .since FF8.

PS+ and awful no deals after Sony's price hike name a better combination. I'm looking for a deal myself as mine I believe is up in June.

I wish Sony would listen and have a ps+ for solely online only. If not that online/cloud/discounts for at least $20 a year. Better yet just more options like half a year deal cause doing 1 month at a time cost more then a year

I'd say definitely. When I wrapped up Spiderman 2 and Red Dead Redemption in January, I forced myself to not start any new big games. I know my backlog is massive but I was / still am really itching for FFVII2. And I just can no longer mentally keep it together if I'm playing more than one (big) game at a time. So I skipped Like A Dragon for now. Now of course I've been filling my time online with Helldiver's which is honestly so much fun with friends, but definitely a bit lacking when soloing. Also playing through It Takes Two with my lady. Factor in my work schedule and then I don't have a ton of time for games, but just got past the first chapter of FFVII2 last night.

Tldr: there's way too many games out so just play what you can handle. I'm now limiting myself - One big game, one coop experience and one online game (read: helldiver's). May be OCD
 
Sorry dumb question..I got this email. Does that mean it will renew at the lower tier Plus (not Premium) level (based on the price quoted)?

79.99 is the cost of the basic plan. Essential for a year.

I would love to have a cheaper plan for online play and save cloud backups that's it. The monthly games I never play as I usually buy what I want. Hell I would love a save data backup plan only that would be fine for me. My PS+ runs out in June and I can't justify spending $80 on it. The last time I bought it was off eneba and I got 3 years for around 120.
 
johnnymavrik said:
I get that. The renewal is confusing because it quotes the $79.99 amount (which is just essentials right) but lists the premium plan (that I am currently try on).
Click to expand...
My guess is they require people to opt into the higher tiers each renewal, either by proactively purchasing the higher tier, or by upgrading after auto renewal.

Weird, I was able to use both of those links to claim the games and I have bought other Destiny 2 editions as well. Hmm....
Click to expand...
Yeah, probably not the end of the world since I don't play Destiny 2 and don't think I will ever get around to it, but I'm seeing the same issue on the app.
 
gravel said:
I had to use a different link for Hello Neighbor 2 and I can't claim Destiny 2 Witch Queen because I own another edition. I think it's from when the base game was on PS+ earlier. :mad:
Click to expand...


Same issue. I also haven't played Destiny 2 other than loading it when Beyond Light was part of PS+ last year. I recall that having trouble activating too. I wonder if we have have to activate it in-game?

Edit: Fired up the game. Says I need 3 content packs for 77GB total. This'll be a while.

Edit 2: The Beyond Light solution was use the app. That's not working for me on Witch Queen. Still asking for the $29.99.

Edit 3: Yup. Inside Destiny 2, it says I already have Witch Queen. Looks like I'm tons of quests away from being able to access it though. And there's nothing in my account history showing I 'bought' Witch Queen.

Did you have PS Now? I think you will get that price as long as you don't change your tier or extend your subscription, or turn off auto-renewal.
 
I'm gonna google this also but does anyone know if you can play Superhot VR on the PS5 using PSVR2?
Or do you have to use regular PSVR?
Can you use the PSVR2 controllers or must you use the Move?

Edit: It looks like I can't do it. At least that's what reddit says.....unless anyone here actually got it to work.

Yeah, I didn't think that worked since they never upgraded it to PSVR2.

You have to hook up the original PSVR to play those games.

If you have the adapter, you can play your PSVR1 on your PS5. I think you know that already though and we're asking about super hot VR specifically. Like you already found out, there is no upgrade for that game right now and I haven't read any plans about them making it compatible with PSVR2.

I know they might have a another discount on ps+ around June maybe July with there day if play promotions like previous years. Still might not be low enough imo. Last time I got a sub it was $30 cant remember if was before or after the price hike. December 2022 I believe.

I played alot of overwatch which why I needed ps+ that and fighting games. Overwatch went F2P and all I was doing was playing mk11. Last time i got ps+ was for the tournaments but then didnt participate but at least the sub was $30. I'm done with both and now waiting for SF6 and MK1 to go down. Sony crazy for forcing people to pay $80 just to play a couple games online. Most of the games that are online are F2P games. Fighting games and sports and Cod are the only ones I can think of that needs ps+ for. They should know by now that some dont care for the "free games". I say increase the free online weekends at least for the non subs

between the tales games on plus extra and premium and Unicorn Overlord, this month is going to be all about the jrpg for me

Bruh I spent 10+ hours on unicorn demo, going through expert at the moment. Been awhile that I actual want a game at full price but I'm still a cheap bastard so I might have to wait sadly. Then again wario usually post that code for QVC whatever it is for $20 off so maybe I might jump on it of its one the site
 
I am really liking Resistance Retribution. Makes me want a remastered Trilogy even more.
I just found out that The Outer World's Spacers Choice Edition is on PS premium and I believe only the base game is on Game Pass. That is really cool! Is there any way to find out which games on each service include dlc either through the console search itself or online? I was going to play The Outer World's soon on my Series X but just happened to stumble upon the game while looking through PS premium and saw that it has all the DLC. I definitely will be checking both Services now if I know that games have DLC so I can play that Edition. I hope it takes advantage of the Dual sense haptics. That's something kind of lacking online. Not too many reviews talk about the Dualsense. Especially when I have the choice to play it on Xbox or Sony.

Saw a comment on Push Square about a mistake on PSN in the UK. You can get the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Trilogy for £15.99, which is the price of one game. Ends up being about $20 in the US.

Of course, I happened to have a UK account so got some credit and grabbed it. Great deal!

I've played a decent bit of this on PC and it's a solid adaptation of Rocket League to golf, where you compete with up to seven others to get the ball into the hole as fast as possible.
