Folks, my PS+ sub is almost up. Most years I just grab a code from CDKeys but with the change in tiers the discount is pretty underwhelming. Is there a better option? I'm subbed to Extra right now but only upgraded for Stray; I'm going back down to Essential as my backlog is horrendous enough as is.

unattended spaghetti posted:Can second this. Incredible sense of place, killer sound design, feels good to play, fun in coop. Thirded. It was a fun little romp that doesn’t take itself too serious, and toed the line perfectly between AA jank and AA quality.

univbee posted:Digital Foundry has a video up about the game, too. It's slightly better than the Xbox 4K BC version but not by much. DF also mentioned some cutscene frame pacing issues. Honestly, if they fixed the above and updated the UI assets to native 4K I think it would be in a pretty good place as a faithful "play launch day RDR on modern hardware" sort of digital preservation, sort of like PC games. 60FPS would be absolutely amazing, but I can live with 30 (even though it's annoying).

Dewgy posted:From the DF review it sounds like the one goal they went in with was “do nothing particularly special, just don’t gently caress this up” and they more or less did exactly that. It really smacks of a reaction to the bad GTA remasters. I’m not sure how ambitious those were, but I understand there was a lot of animosity about how they turned out.

Sony will never do it, but if they made a tier for just cloud saves that's all I'd be subbed to. I've redeemed a dozen or so PS+ Essential titles since I got my PS5 at launch. Out of those, I'd spent extra money on DLC & Season Passes for a handful. I'm considering just buying legit licenses (or disc copies) of those games I've invested extra in and just letting my subscription lapse. I began subbing to PS+ for MP in Bloodborne and TLoU back in the PS4 days, then let it lapse until I got a PS5 and found the cloud saves an amazing insurance policy. THAT is what will be hard to ditch.

veni veni veni posted:Ghostrunner 2 looks rad and would have been a day 1 for me if so much other stuff wasn't coming out. I’ve completed GR1 on both Steam and PS5 (PS+) and was astounded at how good the controls were on console. It’s really loving hard on both platforms.

Ineffiable posted:One of my new ways of tackling games this year was allowing myself to get almost every game I was at least excited/hyped for and focus on those when they come out. My backlog is solely made up of titles I bought on sale some time post-release. I don't consider games I buy at launch adding to my backlog problem because they immediately get played (and beaten). It's been at least 5 years since I bought a game on launch and didn't see it through completion. I really like your approach here - set goalposts with big releases and fill in the time between with backlog cleanup. I often times flip it around and it's not nearly as fun!

How is the performance for Sable? Apparently it was pretty messy on Steam/Xbox and read it's still pretty bad on PS5. It looks like a pretty chill game that's a good add for PS+.

haveblue posted:Not great but it’s not an action game, feeling bad never really gets in the way of anything AcidCat posted:Seemed fine to me, the only thing I noticed was a stutter anytime it would autosave. Not a game I would have paid for, but it's pretty chill and I enjoyed the couple hours I spent with it last night.  Thanks, sounds good!

Has anyone here redeemed and played Immortals of Aveum on PS5 and can speak to its performance?

haveblue posted:Virtually flawless, it’s 60 most of the time and very nearly all the time in combat. Some scenes drop a frame or two but it feels very smooth when it has to Thanks! At launch I recall it made quite a hub-bub technically because of dodgy performance on consoles and really high performance requirements on PC. Normally I'd get it on PC but I might as well redeem and play it on PS5 as I don't think the difference is enough to warrant 30 bux!

Is BG3 sort of like Witcher 3 where playing the previous games absolutely is not required?

Vikar Jerome posted:lol no witcher 3 is not like that (its the final "fan" conclusion to 7 books and two prior games ) but bg3 is sure, you'll probably have a better experience cos bg1&2 npcs will show up and you wont piss your pants wondering if larian even bothered playing them before making bg3. Well…CDPR did not expect your average gamer to be all caught up in the previous installments and it showed when I played it. The ending(s) to TW2 were pretty much irrelevant to the main beats of TW3. So regardless, it sounds like I can pop in to BG3 and be a-ok. Just gotta find a spare 200 hours.

Flowing Thot posted:No one is going to make a sequel that completely cuts out new players, but you absolutely get a lot more out of it if you are familiar with the earlier material. Those moments are going to hit a lot harder for you. Yeah, I do agree with you. What I got out of the BG3 discussion is the story connections to BG1 and 2 are even more tenuous.
