Try different games. I’m fully operational and have been playing online for a couple hours now. No DCs or hiccoughs.

I read that as World of Warcraft lol. I know what you mean though but no I haven't yet. I'm only four hours in. Probably going to play for a few hours tonight since Saturday I have a few hours when wife and kid are in bed.

I’ll take it. Feels like I got rewarded for nothing since I play single player anyway. Really hope people don’t whine about this. Been seeing some real entitled takes like people saying we deserve a free game for a single day of no online games lol. Kind of absurd imo

Evidently using the 2011 PSN hack / downtime as a example as Sony gave away a load of stuff for that to say sorry

Sony offers digital rewards to victims of 2011 PSN hack

Settlement offers free games and/or PlayStation Plus to those affected.

As a best practice for PS werewolves, consider updating your Sony passwords for a fresh start, especially if foregoing MFA. You never know. Keep your games and trophies safe from scum.

I wish they'd get rid of those "games" that solely exist for easy platinums. I think you know what I mean, we've all seen those stupid hamburger, doughnut, etc jump games where you get a trophy for pressing x 10 times, x 50 times, x 100 times, etc.

MW Wilds will launch Pro-optimised:



Monster Hunter Wilds will be PS5 Pro enhanced at launch and can take advantage of the system's Ray Tracing and PSSR features, depending on which of the three modes you select.

Choose from Prioritize Resolution, Prioritize Framerate, and a new Balanced mode, focused on balancing graphical detail at 40 FPS.

Here's a look at the "Prioritize Framerate" mode.

I'm feeling this. Tom Henderson reveals upcoming God of War isn't set in Egypt but Greece rather, where we're focusing this time around on the relationship between young Kratos and his father, MF Zeus. Sounds like no Atreus-centric journey. *sigh of relief

We did that God of War rumour last week of it being set in Egypt, and then I got a message a couple of hours before the podcast went live…From what I’ve been told, it isn’t set in Egypt. It’s actually set in Greece, and it is going to be a younger Kratos this time. Apparently the storyline has more to do with his relationship with his father and all that kind of stuff.

It really needs an improvement. Base PS5 in the beta was kind of rough. I might even go for the Balanced mode if it the resolution isn't much better in Framerate mode.

Another game to get PS5 Pro confirmed is Hell is Us which got leaked to release September 4. Looks really cool, recommend giving this a watch when you have some time.

About time. So hard to browse the store with how much junk gets flooded onto the store. Search from low to high price is a waste of time.
