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.
