if you haven't played the last of us then i would go with that because it is one of the best games ever made period

Sold. Got it!! Added a second controller too. Quite the bundle.

Now I need to find some stuff around the house to sell on FB to help pay for this. Haha.

Yeah,… Last of Us for sure,… Spider-Man is for nerdy soymilk drinkers who finger paint and let their girlfriends pick what to watch during Netflix and chill. Real men play real video games about zombies,…… while still doing the other shit

I'd pay an extra $50 for bundle (1) for them to keep Horizon Forbidden West and ensure Guerilla Games didn't get a cent of my money.

I’m just here still playing fifa 22 because it still feels like no good games have been put out in years

Twitter @supplyninja tweeted out a re-stocking on antonline.com. Cashed in some reward points to put towards it.

Haha. Well I’m happy to have picked the cool kids table!!

Don't have the console yet. But went ahead and set up my PS account. Tried to order some games via the website and it's not working. User error? Or is this common?

F1 22 Champions Edition is 40% off
PGA 2K23 Tiger Woods Edition available for pre-order

Neither worked for me. Just says "Something went wrong" when I click the payment button.

A friend of mine said he never buys games. Just saves games to his library via the free games he gets from the PS Plus subscription. Anyone else do this? Should I even bother with buying games? Idk how any of this works yet.

It depends on the free to play being the games you want to play,.... I like having physical copies and not having to depend on what games they allow me to play.

PS Plus is absolutely worth it. You need it anyway for online games, but the free games are a nice bonus. Some months they can be kinda meh...and you'll undoubtedly run into a month where they'll give you a free game that you already bought a year ago, but sometimes you'll get a real gem. I played the hell out of Rocket League, and that's not a game I probably would have just bought and played for myself. There's been a lot of other great free titles my buddies and I have teamed up together on. Occasionally they give AAA titles too, like Tomb Raider, or Metal Gear. Bottom line, if you stay subscribed you're going to build a large library and have plenty of options (Just make sure you add the new games each month!)

That said, if there's a game you really want to play there's no guarantee it'll eventually show up in PS Plus. You could always wait it out and buy it on sale or Ebay, or if you really want to play something just pull the trigger and buy it.

i haven't tried the ps plus subscription on my ps5 yet so i don't totally know how it works but if i had to guess i would that the hot selling games like horizon forbidden west and nba2k 23 amongst other hot sellers aren't going to be free

Occasionally they give you a AAA title like Horizon, but they're not going to give you NBA2K until after basketball season is over. I think I have NBA2K '16 and maybe '20 in my library though, so they do give those kinds of games to you...just not at release. Same thing with the big name titles, don't expect to get them in the first year for free. Usually they have to be on the market for a year or two first. They only give you 2-3 free games a month too, so it's not like you'll eventually get access to every game that way.

Fair points.

I still can't figure out why the PS website won't let me just buy the games I want. I'm still getting that error message. Is it just better to purchase the games through the console and download the digital copy that way?

Just really hated the Horizon Zero Dawn.

Stealth and human-vs-human combat mechanics were trash, as were the climbing mechanics. Enemy forts didn't seem to have any significant design or thought process, just kind of threw things together. There was one single enemy fort that was impressive that I can remember, because it had a significant number of pathways and ramps that created some need for strategy.

Story was okay, though the 'find 300+ easter eggs to piece together the background narrative' was a bit tedious.

Graphics, scenery, and 'ruins' structures were beautiful and unique, IMO, as was the combat against robot dinosaurs.

I wish the weapons/trap system had been a bit more diverse, or that there was use for more than just the arrows that made machine components come off, but I finished the game without ever feeling like it was a true slog, or too long.

The Cauldrons also had great potential, but were mostly squandered as underwhelming combat arenas.



TL;DR
I liked the first one, so I'll play the second one for the scenery and the robot animals, but I hope they refined Aloy's stealth and environmental traversal, instead of just adding swimming and a Zelda glider.

So one game worked, but not the pre-order. Seriously, this is annoying.

Playstation support chat suggested I try and purchase only through the console store as website seems to be hit or miss (which I should get tomorrow....happy birthday to me!) We'll see if it works. If it doesn't, I'm going to be pissed. It's the very reason I bought a PS5 to begin with.

I have never had issues with buying games through PS5. I buy through the pa store on the console and don’t use any kind of cards from stores just credit card on the the store.

Been watching starfield videos though and now I might need to get the new Xbox. Also for anyone who got cyberpunk like me and stopped playing because of how crappy the glitches were might want to pick it up again it’s gotten really good I started a fresh start and really liking it.

Got the ps5 on Friday. Paid the extra 100 bucks through Walmart online

My local Walmart has the Series X in stock nearly all the time now. You can just walk in and grab one if you're looking for it. Crazy that the PS5 is still online-release only for the most part.

I've planted the bug enough times that my wife is finally cool with me getting the PS5 to add to the man cave... now I just need to find one online and get it in my cart fast enough lol

I missed buying one in store like two weeks back by literally ten seconds,... shared the story... oh well. and yeah, I have seen both in my walmat but the ps5 is much more hit or miss and I don't want to stalk the electronics section hoping to get lucky. They do have like five digital ps5's in stock currently but I want the disc.
