Ohh well its not a big deal I just avoid discs if possible. Its funny how I've changed from needing a disc to not wanting anything to do with them now.

I haven't played any games yet. But after using the dual-sense to mess around with the system it feels very much like a Xbox controller in my hands. I think its the extra weight and bigger size. I'm anxious to try out the new controller feedback.

I'm also anxious to get another game. I have Miles Morales but I'll probably gobble up the content in no time since I really liked the original Spidey game. I also have the original Spidey dlc which I never played so there's that as well. I might get the Nioh 2 remaster for some Samurai/Shinobi action.
I'm having a great time with Demon's Souls. It's gorgeous graphically, but definitely not for everyone.

I'm a little scared of Demon's Souls. It took me a while to get into Bloodborne because it was so unforgiving. And DS being the game that kind of started it all might put me into submission and break me, lol.

Word of warning, the Nioh games are just as tough.

I'm starting to get that impression from the vids I've been checking out. But Nioh 2 looks feakn sick so its still under consideration.

I see the PS5 shutdown doesn't require a long press on the PS button but instead a light tap. I was all confused as to why the shutdown menu wasn't showing up, I'm treating this like a PS4.

BTW, love the new interface, just like you said its nice and snappy with no lag. :banana:

Nioh will chew you up and spit you right back out but it's an incredibly satisfying game to play.
 
I think I'll play it safe and stick to Spidey for now. I really want Godfall but I don't want to pay full price after some of the video impressions and reviews I've seen.

I have Godfall. Not worth full price but still worth a play through IMO so far. Basic but enjoyable for what it is. I haven’t done any co-op yet though.

Is it worth grabbing Death Stranding for like $23 for the PS5? Keep reading rumors of a PS5 enhancement. The Spider Man remaster and Miles is still not on sale so far.

Death Stranding is not for everyone. Its a slow game in both story and gameplay. But I got really into the story and enjoyed the main gameplay loop of making deliveries while traversing the harsh environment. I really wish there was a demo so others could try it out for themselves. I think some would be surprised at just how engrossing the world and gameplay can be.

I bought Godfall for £51 (was on "sale") and i really enjoyed it. basic but visually great and if you ever have interest in games like destiny then i would say its worth a try for sure
 
I just recently noticed that when you look at your friend list on the PS5, it will show a little console symbol and you can tell if your friends are on a PS4 or PS5. Kinda cool.

Regarding the new controller I love it. Not only the feel/weight of it but the additional features seem really cool. Astro and Destruction All-Stars are the only PS5 games I've played so far so probably even better to come. The one odd thing I noticed when I first started using it, was hitting the O button instead of X. Does it feel closer to a Switch Pro controller to me to make that mistake?

I really enjoyed Nioh and actually beat it unlike any other of the Soulsborne games. Bloodborne I also loved but think I just got burnt out by the time I got to the last 1/4 of the game or so. I honestly didn't think Nioh was that hard. Not sure about Nioh 2 yet but do plan on getting that for PS5. Not sure I'd play the first game again although I never did play the DLC.

Currently playing Death Stranding and loving it. Might be about halfway through the game although don't know for sure. I was contemplating waiting on a PS5 version but decided to start it anyways, as it didn't seem like a game that really needed upgrades to make it more enjoyable. It is only 30fps but it's a slow game anyways so meh to 60fps. That said, if I was thinking of buying it now I would probably wait to see if that extended version did happen.

Does Death Stranding have difficulty options?
 
Does Death Stranding have difficulty options?
That's a good question. I assume it does but the combat is not the hardest part of the game. Its trying to keep your cargo intact while moving through harsh terrain and conditions. Super steep slopes, large canyons, whiteouts and ghostly monsters are the norm while making deliveries.

It does. I'm pretty sure there is a difficulty for enjoying the story only whatever that means. As Busterman says some of the difficulty comes from making sure your cargo is good. Perhaps on story mode it doesn't take damage from the rain and from falling.

I thought that I was going to have one from Best Buy this morning. But I couldn't add it to the cart.
They were doing a thing where you pick a store near you, for delivery I guess? But it sold out as I was trying a couple of stores near me.
