[Official] Playstation 5

[Griggs]

thanks.
may I ask your take on warranty for PS5? noticed a ton of export sets going at sub 600

Personally got the ps5 slim disc export set for low 600+ during its initial launch. No issues so far.

Tbh even if you buy local set the warranty is only 12 months, unlikely there will be any issues for the first 12 months anyway.

Could this really be.........the POWER of the Fans? To blow all the extra pieces of fabric away......

Hope so.
To remove censorship and launch the game as intended and as promised (uncensored). I wouldn't characterize it as blowing fabric away which is a gross oversimplification.

So I’ve just got first ever PS5 disc edition last night, have some queries on account and PS+:

I read that we heavily favour US PSN account due to perpetual games sale, is this accurate?

Also, should I bother with Asia PSN account?

I’m mostly intending to play disc versions of games as it be can resold upon completion, but open to digital games sale if they’re attractive enough.

Are games bought with US PSN account tagged only to it, and not playable with Asia PSN account?

thanks ahead for any helpful replies

You can always create both PSN. I believe a lot of guys here have more than 1 region's PSN.
I myself have SG and US PSN, but I mainly use the SG one. I mainly play on physical disc too and for disc if you want to purchase DLC/expansions through PSN you need to be on the same region as the disc.

hi all, just asking if there are any chances for the m.2 expansion slot to be faulty or rather the ssd failure rate to be higher?

As with all electronics, anything can happen.

There are even people who get onboard SSD failures, so it's all down to luck.

Stellar Blade GOTY!
Seems like it is the highest rated game on metacritic by user score.

'Professional' critic score is to be ignored.

I just completed stellar blade yesterday, main campaign fells a little short at about 20 hours, both the main story and side quests are also not very interesting. Positives are the game is very well optimised in balanced mode (frame drops very rare at 60fps), graphics and gameplay are top notch, the boss fights are so fun, its very rewarding once you master the mechanics of the game. Very surprised to see such a good action game from a Korean studio.

I only just reached Xion as i was waiting for my JP copy so that i have JP dub. But, it is enjoyable.
That is all that needs to be said.

JP hard copies seem to be selling out in Japan. Great!

Combat is easily cheesed for the bosses. So, its not a difficult game.
Obviously, i try to do the fights properly (perfect parry, dodge etc) first.

Abbadon - beat on 1st try. Corrupter - beat on 1st try.
First Alpha Naytiba (Gigas?) - beat on 2nd try. Half normal fighting. Half cheesing.

I did play the demo.

Playing without day 1 patch. version 1.0 for obvious reasons.

Game is much easier than lies of p for sure,

Spoiler

a certain beta skill is very strong

in this game. I dun understand what you meant by cheese though, you meant using items?

You can sprint as long as you want.
Just keep sprinting around the boss and keep the distance, wait for an opening, do 1 hit and then run away again. Repeat.
Slow but guaranteed win.

I see... but I think this is not considered cheesing, its a strategy, just a very slow one. The parry window in this game is very generous, nothing like lies of p's 8 frame, its probably closer to sekiro's 30 frame, maybe even more.

 

[final1]

anyone has ps5 repair shop to recommend? i gotten the blue light of death and unable to even boot into safe mode. my warranty expired just last month fk.. ps centre quote me $365 for motherboard, i might as well buy export set...

wait for ps5 pro?
But, cannot play games till then.....

well, i consider it cheesy. But, i am trying to do the battles as intended.
You can't really do this strategy in souls or elden ring as you can't do unlimited sprinting.

Souls games got many "easy mode" strats. For example, magic was super OP in DS1/2, ER can face roll with mimic summon. I feel that SB is not really a souls game or pure action game, since you can level up and make the game much easier. Souls games you level up also not much help, those games require strats and items.

It is definitely more enjoyable for me, to be offensive in SB and use your parries, Blinks and Repulses for a Retribution. Throw in a few Beta Skills to spice things up. Combat is great, however, there are some minor issues which aren't game breaking. I encountered some glitch where I'll need to exit and reopen the game as it can't let me "talk" to the NPC to complete my side quest. I also have to sometimes "aim my character" properly to open crates/use terminals.

A little fatigued also to keep scanning for enemies/items, so best to play more and scan less. I wouldn't say the side quests are something to be wowed at but there are a few notable ones which caught my attention so far. (At Xion now, been clearing a lot of side quests, going to Matrix 11 soon)

come to think of it.
Did you do Eidos 9?
20 hours seems a little short.

I am too slow reaction time to perfect parry, perfect dodge and blink effectively.
My success rate is maybe 30% ish.
But, i am playing version 1.0000000.

They made it slightly easier to do it in the 1.000002 patch if i am not wrong. But have to accept the censored costumes.
