Amazon has buy 2 get 1 free on games if you're looking to stock up on games for your new PS5. Was thinking of getting Spider Man and Ghosts but not sure what to get as #3.

PS1-3 BC?

"A computer-implemented method assigns one or more trophies to a user. A game is emulated in response to a request from a client device. A trophy trigger is detected during emulation of the game by comparing a memory value of the emulated game to a predetermined value and assigning the one or more trophies to the user based on the detected trophy trigger."

I'm using my PS5 to finish off all the PS4 backlog I never got to. I am about half way through God of War. It honestly too a little bit to pull me in, but I'm enjoying it now.

Ghost of Tsushima is on sale for $40 and I might grab that. Been waiting for Spidey to go on sale.

My only real gripe with the PS5 right now is the interface. The PS4 interface was simple, clean and exactly what we need. The PS4 interface was even better than the latest Xbox one, which I happen to think is really good. The PS5 interface is just too much. It gets in your way more than anything. I'm having to think about it every time I turn it on, and that's not a good thing.

They just need to expand the bottom thing so it is more customizable and has more valuable things on there like friends. Plus pinning games to the home screen or bring back folders.

I downloaded and played several hours of Rachet & Clank on PS5 last night. I've never played one of these games, but it's definitely got that really fun Insomniac hook. Looks nice with the PS4 Pro upgrades mixed with the new 60fps upgrade. I can't imagine playing this in 30fps, as there's so much going on in the combat sections.

After just an evening with this one, I definitely think I'll be buying the upcoming game later this year.

Insomniac has really risen to become one of the top tier studios right now, they recently also released a patch for Miles that used ML AI tech. It seems being under Sony now and having their ICE support really helps.
 
Anyone pickup Disco Elysium on PS5 or 4? My backlog is already waaaay too big and I think I'm concurrently playing like 6 to 8 games right now, but it looks like the kinda game I'd be super into.
 
6 months later.....still can’t find a PS5.
f*** the bots. Just put some systems in the freaking stores already. Damn.

Keep an eye on the PS5 stock twitter accounts. Where I got mine was a queue direct from Sony. They do it randomly instead of first come first served, so the bots can't get in before everyone else.

Finished God of War. Really liked it, except that the combat got kind of difficult. I cranked it down to story mode though and plowed through it. I could just never get the timing of it down, even at 60fps for some reason.

Anyway what should I get on PS5 next? Ghost of Tsushima is $40 on sale now and leaning towards that. Spider Man still has not gone on sale at all since I got my PS5 and I refuse to pay $70 for it. I'm just worried Ghost will kick my butt like GoW did.

Ghost of Tsushima is a must play, imo

GoW is a great game but combat can get really intense, I never did beat the Valkyrie Queen which is where I had left off on PS4 after completing the main story. I restarted on PS5 but have been distracted by other games. I hope you didn't forget about Atreus and his trusty bow, he can be a lifesaver.

I'll second Frozpot's suggestion of Ghost of Tsushima. But don't forget about Horizon Zero Dawn or Days Gone or Death Stranding. And I haven't played The Last of Us 2 but read good things about it and the first was great (its also on sale).

I'm waiting for Demon's Souls to go on sale. I'm just worried its punishing mechanics will deflate me and make me shelve it because I suck which is why I'm waiting for a price drop. I also noticed Godfall on sale but at $40 I'm still hesitant so I need it to go down to $30 before getting it. I was looking into Godfall over the weekend and has co-op but no matchmaking. Da hell is wrong with developers making multiplayer but leaving out standard features like that, the Outriders is another that offers co-op with no in-game voice chat.

Any word on Horizon Zero Dawn getting PS5 enhancements? Definitely want to get into that again some day. Never got far on that. Death Stranding is sort of on my list if I see cheap. I have a feeling it is the kind of game I'll get bored with and never finish. Who knows though, it might suck me in. I think I'd like Ghost for sure and I'll probably get that.

Ratchet & Clank just got a surprise 60fps patch a few months before the new sequel is scheduled to release. I've heard the theory / guess that maybe games like Horizon and others will get patches a few months before their sequels release to help build hype as well.

Since it's David Jaffe they're referring to, he probably had a discussion about PS Now and didn't realize that service was already a thing.
