Deleting stuff works if you don’t have a data cap or aren’t close to hitting it. I have a data cap and it’s the dumbest thing. If you have an external HDD, download it once and move it so you don’t have to download it again. There may be a patch that releases in between, but that download should almost always be smaller than downloading the whole game.

I just tried to install FF rebirth. It directed me to clean up. Quite a few huge games I don’t play but thought were cleaned- like Death Stranding (fail) and FF XVI. Not usually a big deal.

Lunar got me to start a new playthrough. Not on Playstation, unfortunately, I've got a 6800XT in my rig, it'd be a federal crime to play it in Performance Mode on a console. We pixel peep at 1440p@120fps. Waiting for Sony to say Square can release the new game on Windows, I'm not buying videogames until November 26th anyways.

Just buy one of the cheaper 1tb compatible Nvmes for the PS5 games.

If you play mostly PS4 games then basically any external drive will work.

Looks like Soniy is working with the dudes behind the PCSX2 emulator to make it easier to bring more PS1, PS2 and PSP games to PS5.

Man, this is drivine me nuts. Anytime I put my ps5 into rest, it won't wake up from PS Portal or remote play on PC. Don't understand why. As soon as I turn it on physically, works fine.

You may have to hold the power button until portal restarts.

Kind of psyched. I backed the Kickstarter for this a million years ago. It was one of my favorite PC games in the 90s. The PC demo was good. I hope the controls for console are good...

You can get 500GB/1TB external SSDs pretty cheap now just to add room. I have 2 external SSDs (both 500GB I think) and I just throw the larger games I may not be playing now but also don't want to re-DL later to. I don't even keep them always plugged in. But I don't keep things that I know I won't play for months...I just keep current things on the internal storage, and "maybe/soon" things on external storage so that if I do play them I don't have to DL.

For like $25 you can get 500GB external (or more?) and I'd just start with that. I love the idea of having terabytes and not have to DL anything again but I have to imagine the PS5 gets sluggish loading the library and also checking for auto-updates for all titles it sees. But I dunno, I'm totally fine with the system storage.

I wouldn't waste money on external, you can get 1TB and 2TB internal gen4 m.2 and just play any game you want.

good for some people. Too little too late for me. I've already committed to playing on my PS1, PS2, and PS3. I even bought a retrotink upscaler and a 19" sony LCD.

that's pretty awesome actually.

I plan on playing soon. It's installed, just need to find some damn time

Helldivers 2 is definitely a type of game I'll play when I get a steamdeck, or if MS ever makes windows more gaming friendly with quick resume and navigation for windows handhelds. Could just imagine booting it up for a bit for a quick play. As it stands now I just play the big games on the big screen.

Is CDKeys legit? They're currently selling digital codes for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II on PS4/PS5 for $14.69 but I don't know if they're one of those shady sites.
https://www.cdkeys.com/call-of-duty-modern-warfare...

I use CDKeys for PSN / Xbox Game Pass sub codes sometimes. They’re legit. You get the code like right away via email once payment clears.

Ive used them for years.

I've used then with no issue. However they are not "legit" often times codes are bought on different markets or with stolen Credit Cards. Any site listed here is a legit key seller:

CD Keys, G2A, Kinguin,Eneba, countless others and yes, CD KEYS is not legit. You'll most likely get the game but they are not legit. Indie game developers have said you're better of pirating games than buying from the non legit sites.

... but fudge Activision. Just buy it.

CDKeys is great, I use them for Game Pass and PSN subs. Just read clearly what you're buying as they sell some international-only codes as well as codes for some demos (not full games) too. But everything I've bought from them for US or non-regional has worked great.

I've used CDkeys several times in the past, never had an issue.

Dragons dogma reviews- sounds like a 10/10 in my book. Can’t wait.

Can you sell me on the first DD? It’s only like $6 on Switch but the review I watched - while positive - didn’t mega hook me. What is it about the first game that makes it great?

It’s kind of an arcadey fantasy game with really great controls during the action. It’s pretty meh as far as the story goes but it’s good enough. The difference in the play styles between classes is really diverse as well. Imagine getting to climb on the back of a chimera or hydra and chopping off its head, or ranging it with a bow, or brute forcing it with a sword and shield etc. It’s kind of the next evolution of the capcom fantasy arcade beat em ups in an open world with much more depth. And honestly- the cheese of the dialogue and NPCs is pretty endearing.

Rise of the Ronin coming in at 76% on Metacritic.

Read reviews and it sounds like it will be pretty good. I’m more excited about it now than before the reviews.

"Rise of the Ronin confounds me. On one hand, it's an action game with combat that’s a cut above most of its peers, an interesting historical fiction world and characters, entertaining co-op, and plenty of neat little flourishes that make traveling through its map completing missions a lot of fun. On the other hand, it's heavily weighed down by the forces of the All Game: bloat, the stereotypical “Ubisoft Map With Tons of Icons to Clear,” an outrageous amount of loot loaded with meaningless incremental stat upgrades, and the overwhelming feeling that, like a good TV show that keeps running long past its expiration date, it would’ve been a lot more fondly remembered if there was a lot less of it. "

Ugh, tired of chasing the shinnies.

Weird, Ghost of Ubisoftshima had useless collectibles and the same sort of level design and progression of Ubisoft games and yet it was somehow universally praised.

Hard pass on Rise of the Ronin for now. Getting real tired of Ubi sandbox like games. And I loved Ghost of Tsushima’s story so I ignored some of the tick boxes for the most part although some were super cool like creating your own haiku. If Rise of the Ronin has a robust story like GoT then I’ll pick it up sooner than later.

It’s interesting to me how reviewers decide when the “Ubisoft map” is a negative thing. They love it with Zelda or final fantasy, but hold it against original stuff. I’m sure being a team ninja game it’s also too hard for them.

Zelda games now terrify me too with the 200+ hour game play. I have ToTk sitting in the box. Don’t know when I’ll muster up the courage to actually play it like I did with BOTW but even BOTW took me like a good part of a year to finish. I mean I guess they give us our money’s worth but I miss the days of the 15-20 hour max games.

Newer Zelda’s are like 10% Zelda and 90% something else. TotK had too much “builder” stuff going on - when it was actually Zelda it was great.

Edit: little harsh. Maybe 40, 60.

I am enjoying Tears of the Kingdom even more than BOTW, I played a long while then took a break at least 6 months. In the home stretch now but find myself trying to finish up side quest. 😂

It was those shrines guys. Those filthy wonderfully evil shrines that sucked in my soul in BOTW.

Because those things were fun and the rest of the game was near flawless. Story and characters were amazing, graphics and load times were next level and the gameplay was a ton of fun

Feel the same way.

I enjoyed Ghosts as well. Ronin may be worthwhile for the same reasoning if the story and gameplay is sound.
