LOL the same applies to me though gladly I got the game through PS+. There is definitely a good game underneath all the messiness but I ain't got the patience and time to deal with all that. Maybe one day. The new Monster Hunter stories game (Can't remember the full name) looks sick though cause of the art style and turn based mechanics. Switch exclusivity is a bugger

That's where it doesn't work for me. He is strongly opinionated and most times his views doesn't align with mine. Angry Joe's game reviews are more up my alley. Even Jeremy Jahns is pretty good for me though he's not frequent on game reviews. Makes sense

One small thing, the max volume out of the speakers is very low, even when everything is maxed out (from PS5 system's menu and the volume knob). It's pretty good when connected to my laptop though. What can be done in this case? Audio noob here but is amplifier the solution?

Enemy variety was the only thing which bugged me, but even that wasn't that big of a deal. This game is a solid 9/10 for me. Dunkey's reviews seem more like parodies than actual reviews. I never took them seriously.

Sometimes after dying, the game takes about 4-5 minutes to load up the most recent save and sometimes it happens in under a minute. Is this an issue with PS5 BC or was this also the case on PS4? Very very annoying.

Okay So I got speakers + USB adapter for 1300 so thanks!!

Rift Apart and Demon's Souls The pre-installed game Astro's playroom is also pretty great.

OMG Jujutsu Kaisen is so fookin amazing! Even the OP and ED are so good

This. Even as a lifelong console gamer, going from 60 to 30 is too jarring. Insomniac's approach of providing 60FPS with freakin RT is kinda spoiling us lol

Doom is the only SP FPS which really interests me so maybe I'll pick it up when it goes on sale.

I tried to connect my regular mouse but it seems to require an adapter for kb/m support(on PS5). DS is fine I guess. I guess I'll give BF1 a chance too.

Is BF1 also better in terms of MP, and more active? I'm not really interested in their SP offerings. I just want to get my hands dirty with BF MP before 2042 hits.

I tried this as my first Battlefield game today. The game starts in an epic way. Directly jumps into the horrors of war without even putting up the menu lol. It looked really really good. I wanted to try out the MP. I am horrible at FPS games because of my shitty aim but I had fun in the 2 matches I played. They consisted mostly of me running around like a blind idiot and shooting anything that moves but still I see the appeal. The game has a good tutorial for beginners which really helped. It was hard to coordinate anything with randos but I can see how this would be a blast with friends, only if I had any who were into the game atm lol Edit: IVG's search functionality is still pretty much useless. Got this thread via a Google search.

Thanks to @rushaboswalfor the inspiration lol

Not HDMI 2.1. It's 1080p with HDMI 2.0 support.

Regular 2.1 speakers. The ones on Amazon work with 3.5mm jack.

Okay just to clarify, use a HDMI to HDMI/3.5mm splitter which then goes into the speakers? Most cheap speakers on Amazon use 3.5mm input so I'll need a splitter with 3.5mm out, something like this: https://www.amazon.in/SaiRetail-Optical-Toslink-Extractor-Splitter/dp/B07H94D77V which is ~4.5K. I'm not aware how these weird S/PDIF/Optical connectors work. Is there a cheaper alternative, except headphones that is?

Lol should have clarified. Except headphones. Using headphones for everything gets annoying and is not comfortable.

You know the answer, backlog.

So I bought a new monitor which doesn't have in-built speakers nor audio in or out, just HDMI/DP ports. It's connected to my PS5. What's the best and cheapest way to get audio out of this setup?

Would be nice if it comes to previous gen. More people need to experience the magic.

Finished the game today. LOVED IT! Definitely one of the most enjoyable games I've played in years. This is what video games should be all about. Pixar level presentation coupled with top of the line addicting combat, what more do you really need to create a gem?! My first R&C (technically not the first since I played one on the PS2 so long ago I don't even remember) and I'm a fan. Looking forward to where it goes from here. Rivet and Ratchet both are awesome. Also goes without saying Insomniac are technical wizards. I can't even begin to fathom what they will do with Spiderman 2.

I liked the combat. Visuals and performance were horrible. I don't know what the game has to do with Final Fantasy though. I enjoyed it more than FFXV from what I played so yeah there's that.
