Omg, drop early morning... miss it again.

Haha I see. But as official Sony in sg, forcing people to buy the bundle like that is like really too much. Most people don’t need extra controller. Usually thought is other retailers will do this kind of stunt.

No one is forcing u to buy do many ps5 also

Just sharing about a great game:

I'd just beaten Mortal Shell Enhanced (for the PS5) Edition last night.

It's a Soulsborne-esque game but with most of the RPG elements stripped off - no character customisation, no armour or specific upgradable stats (e.g. +1 to strength etc.) Instead you get to inhibit a few (Mortal) Shells of the dead who each has their own strengths/weaknesses (high stamina but low health/balanced/parry-focused/etc) and you take after them.

There are a few weapons for you to discover and you'll need to fight actual bosses in order to earn them. There are skill trees for each Mortal Shell (add kick ability and send foes to fall off the cliff, running without using any stamina, parry to regain resolve etc) and the discoverable weapons can also be upgraded with some materials you'll need to find during exploration. There are also items you can purchase or find to receive buffs temporarily. The quirky thing about it is that you won't know how the item works until you use it and the more you use it (with more familiarity), the game then reveals more information on it. Not sure if it's a bad/good thing, Sense of discovery when using for the first time VS Annoyance of wasting it?

There are no shields in the game and you either dodge or HARDEN which is a unique mechanic to the game. It allows you to "harden" (like turn to a rock statue) to block all incoming attacks but you will revert back once enough damage has been received and of course, there will be a cooldown time before you can use it again to prevent abuse. This adds another layer of defense when you aren't confident of dodging. Sometimes at the eleventh hour you know you can't dodge with no stamina left (like oh fffffff!!!!!), at least you can still harden to block that attack. This mechanic is pretty useful in some boss fights personally for me. Also, when your HP gets to 0, you will be ejected out of your Shell (leaving it behind) and you'll have a 2nd chance (a bit like resurrection) to dash to your shell very quickly (+ full health regained, so can be a strategy at times) before you take another hit OR you truly die afterwards. Oh man, that sense of panic at that moment. There's even a mode/trophy where you play with NO SHELLS and it's almost like ONE HIT KILL mode (super low health but very agile) which switches the Difficulty up quite a number of notches. Anyone looking for a "PUNISHING" time can try that - I have yet to try it for myself.

And yes, don't expect a full length game like Soulsborne series. I beat it in probably less than 20 hours or maybe just 15 hours. Going to do more of the extra/side stuffs and add another 3 or 4 hours perhaps post-game. And the price is also reasonable as well - SGD $27 incl. discount (original $42). It's an indie game which was made by just a few people (iirc) only and it's running at 4K 60fps (though twice or thrice I did observe some dips in frame rate, mostly pretty smooth). Rarely do we see Indie games at this level because if you see it for the first time, you probably won't think it's an Indie game.

I feel this game is great for people who want to start getting into Soulsborne games but particularly don't want a lengthy journey and without much of the equipment/stats management. Like a little sample to try try try.

Last words: Finally, I feel this PS5 thread needs to be filled with more of PS5/games discussion other than just drops drops drops (I don't even know who is scalper or true gamer anymore). I also notice some members often contributing to the thread, no need to mention, but you all know it yourselves lah . I'm just contributing my little part with passion for games and hopefully it gets more gamers to start discussing more on games - which is exactly the main purpose, yeeeaaahhhhhh?

No ps5 in the first place discuss what game?

Lol Sony prioritising existing Ps5 owners. If anything hope Ps5 will be commonly available soon

"Sony has said it will accelerate the production of PS5 systems in its next fiscal year, which means getting more consoles in players' homes - ultimately it's aiming to sell more annually than the original PlayStation, which moved a dizzying 22.6 million units per year at its peak. Even as it works to catch up on its shortage of hardware, Sony is still moving forward with updates on the software side: it recently opened sign ups for the first PS5 system software beta program, which will give participants the chance to test out upcoming changes to the console before they roll out to the general public."

Good one I totally agree ppl like us hope to play ps5 but sadly no console to play.

 

[mliolukiye]

It's utterly sad and frustrating we live in an era where there are some selfish people who don't care about others and just want to profit from unnecessary man-made demands. Who knows. Maybe one day, they will also know how it feels to desire something badly but unable to obtain it.

I wish you all the best in getting your consoles at the soonest and join us here. Don't give up trying. Never give up.

not really a gd point...
a number of game titles available on ps5 are also available on ps4 pro, pc, xbox. i myself came from ps4 and even by then, ive alrdy played dozens of games before making the switch to ps5. how did i get my ps5? steady dec last yr preorder, feb this yr go westgate collect.
its abit absurd if one say whats stopping them from gaming is not having a ps5.
the very same gamers who cant wait are the ones who pay $200 and now up till $400-500 more to get the console, which the flippers are taking advantage of.
not wanting to pay flipper prices is even better but then have to plan out alrdy hw to get one at rrp. ill even go on to the extent that gamers who rlly want ps5 (those who rlly siao ps5 and gaming) by now should have one alrdy or alrdy had it on the first day. some until even went the xtra effort to trade-in their older console or if not took the same route to call or dropby at 'non-smelly' game stores and drop their name then wait 2-3months to get one. its been 7mths since this item has launch anws.

 

[Kamikazane]

If anyone still looking for 3D pulse headset. Waterway point TOG is having at least 3x quantity.

 

[terrakaze]

Well scalping goes way back.. it's just a lot easier now. Back then resellers have to work harder for it like paying random people to queue and buy the product. I remember queueing for the PSP back in Japan during the launch day in 2004 and seeing a van parked at the side of Yodobashi Camera stocking up loads of PSPs from individuals who just walked out of the building. Obviously paid them to do it because every customer limited to 1 set. Now? All they need is just a damn bot to wipe out entire inventories from several sites that have no purchase restrictions.

For me l wanted to po ps5 initially just to play ratchet and crank but the game was delay tat y didn’t buy. Wasn’t really looking till they announced the confirm release date but by then all the shop already stop taking name for po and only left monthly drop on site but it not easy to monitor all site during office hours. I agree can still play ps4 but some game only have on ps5.

 

[GotBetrayed]

For my first one from courts, I waited like 3 months. Subsequently, ordered from another major retailer, was told to wait 3-4 months but suddenly 1 month they got stock.

don’t bother camping online, just go find any salesman and make full payment. My own set, delivery date they put 2022 nov, but when got stock they will call you one.

Must go down, courts, best Denki and HN all these should be able to accept your pre order. Go to bigger stores.

only thing is they also can’t guarantee when will arrive. All I did was put my money down first then just wait.

however, abit Sian courts cancelled my digital order, forced me to change to disc version because they said unlikely to be able to fulfil order in the near future, so I have to pay extra 130 sgd.

However good thing is, no need to buy extra controller bundle for all my sets. Just paid rrp

 

[alexneoh]

Dont always blamed scalper lah.... SG is like that. You need to do homework to get something.
Compare to properly market, flipping ps5 just as nut. COV, flipping option how much profit they earned from there.
