Anyway, will give Eden Rings a shot. A lot of time now. Cyberpunk is good, but I find the combat bit ‘off’ despite a unique & immersive environment and storyline. Not starting Forbidden Horizon cos I never really found the original interesting… mech dinos & Aloy’s character did not appeal to me much.

Into only 5+hr Elden Ring, kinda cool. Died many times simply by exploring. Think i took the easy way out by choosing Astrologer Class. And i do not feel the frustration (of Soulsborne game-type).... yet . The fact that is open world, i get to do what i want.. and slowly try. Beginning to understand why Elden Rings is highly regarded. And easier to "get into" compared to the other Soulsborne game which i kinda could not grasp.

Question:
1. I get my flasks topped up at the save points. And also after i have killed off an entire group of enemies yes?
2. Aside from Runes ... what else is lost when i die? (now i understand why so many blood stains .. haha .. and i actually pay attention to the stains location now)

I remember reading here that there's a WhatsApp group here to inform people of Ps5 drops so sincere buyers can get their Ps5.

I know of a scalper who's infiltrated the group and already scalped and sold more than 7 Ps5 from reading game axis. Can the creator of the group pm me so I can reveal the scalper's number so you can kick him off the group please.

I have friends waiting for their Ps5 yet this ****** scalped and sold so many Ps5 already. Makes me angry.

Gosh, that is fast, still no chance to unseal those recent hoots.

The GST increase is only a few dollars
And none of the retailers likely have any available stock
The official retailers (Sony, Harvey, Courts) have a lengthy back order log
The smaller shops have too and I wouldn't be surprised if their stocks are going directly to scalpers

If you're still looking to get from official retailers at RRP it's going to be a long long wait.
If you want to save on GST can buy the controllers first and save $1 each

I rather wait for more stocks than buy from scalpers.
I just realised that disc version only cost $729, rather wait than buy from scalpers over 1k.

gonk this tree......felt great!

 

[perimbean]

Well, I'm still holding out...waiting for the stocks...with no idea where to "queue" for purchasing PS5...

I agree
I would rather wait a year or more than pay a scalper a single dollar. Patronising them just exacerbates the scalping plague

 

[Adam80]

buy at retail price
check TOG/GameWerks/Gamemartz/Courts/Sony
double or triple check they selling you @$729 without any nonsense bundle

Partly Sony's fault as well for not managing the purchase process

I've been a PS+ subscriber, bought plenty of games and must have spent thousands on the PS Store over the years
But I've not yet had the chance to do the same without a PS5 while stocks are in the hands for scalpers holding out for a big payday

Mulitple that by that hundreds of thousands actual gamers and its all lost revenue for them. And there are so many ways they could have offered a purchase program for existing PS4 owners rather than releasing it FCFS out there

Luckily I managed to get a GPU in the early days of the RTX3000 release so PC gaming it is for now

Or you could also inform us of the scalper actual identity so as to Pua his kangtao, like the swindler show

they rather drop a couple more $50 notes to grab the ps5( then to wait until N months later)

Too bad it's too troublesome for them, if not they should somehow email existing PS4 owners that hasn't register a PS5 serial number for a one time purchase.

Active users get to buy first.

I think in USA Microsoft sometimes do that, send existing Xbox owners special link to buy it first.

 

[NoLogicLah]

I believe the turn around time for scalpers is short. So end of day the ps5 ends up with actual end user and it will be a rich end user who is willing to pay 2 x the rrp. Inevitably They will spend more compared to typical users. So sony can’t complain
