Re: Just ordered my PS5
Also buying Demon's Souls immediately once I get it
stoked to play through it again; the remake is probably the best looking game I've ever seen

I got mine through Walmart. I ordered it I think in early June. They estimated 5 weeks for delivery and I got in about 2. Seems a crapshoot on when, but it should deliver before then
I’ve been an Xbox guy for a while and made the switch for now.
Astros Playroom, the free game already installed is wonderful and everyone should play it
Ratchet & Clank was the shit
I’m on Spider-Man now and have God of War, Persona 5 both tees up for after. Plus I want to play FF7 and Ghost of Tsushima.
For casual I’m loving F1 2021 and Tony Hawk
Oh yea…and I’m a parent with a 3 year old. So I think I have enough for a year lol

Hell yeah, that would be dope!
I guess either way it's not a huge deal if I have to wait a month to get it, because I've already been trying to buy one for damn near a year at this point

I haven't owned a Playstation system since the original PS1; ended up getting the 360 and then the XB1 after that, but I regretted getting the Xb1 because Sony's exclusive titles are generally way more my type of shit

That’s why I wanted Sony, I’m burned out on MS exclusives. I used to play Halo and other games online with friends and my brother quite a bit, but as I get older I’m valuing single player games more (especially ones I can just pick up and put down)
Re: Just ordered my PS5
I've had one since launch last November. 
Sign up for Playstation Plus.
You get access to a bunch of FREE PS4 classic games, and if none of you have played God of War (Devin, I know you're a Switch/XB guy, so you probably haven't), GET ON THAT SHIT. There is a patch to run it at 4K checkerboard, 60fps, and it's one of the greatest games ever made. I've beaten that game 4 times, I think, and could run through it again right now and not get tired of it. Pretty sure The Last of Us remastered is on there too.
Demon's Souls is great, hard as shit, though. Both Spider-Man games are gorgeous, just not my thing. Bloodborne is also free on the Playstation Plus Collection.
Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart is really good, but one playthrough is enough.
Currently playing Hades on mine, and it runs at 4K, 60fps. It is a hoss of a system, though. Huge.

Re: Just ordered my PS5
I'm not a big gamer (prefer PC games) but I wanted the Xbox Series X just to have the latest connected to the A/V setup for the occasional kickback. I tried to get one when they were announced last year, but no luck. Unless you camp out on the reseller sites - and who has time for that shit - they have been all but unavailable since.
How do two companies fail so miserably on supply for a newly-launched product? It's been nearly a year. That's ridiculous. And this level of fail was way before the chip shortage nonsense...

Re: Just ordered my PS5
For anyone still trying to get one, download the "HotStock" app and set up alerts. It's pretty much a must if you actually wanna get one for non-assrape prices.
Even then, it's still incredibly difficult due to insane website traffic

Hades is literally one of my favorite games of all time. What a fucking awesome surprise that game was. I hope they add more content to it at some point

I got mine back when GameStop had a round 2 of pre-orders, but you had to order in-person. They didn't tell you how many consoles each store was going to have. I went to my local store and got there at about 7am and found out they were only going to get 5 consoles, and 5 people were already in line. I went to two more that morning before I found a store that was going to have 9 consoles, and I was 6th in line. Had to wait there for a good while, and that sucked at the time, but in retrospect, it was a small price to pay considering how difficult and expensive it's been for people to get one. I got very lucky.
Seriously, play God of War.

I can fairly routinely get to the Temple of Styx now, but have yet to find the bait to make Cerberus move before I get waxed.

I want one, but not that bad. Just wanted to bitch about it

I want one, but not that bad. Just wanted to bitch about itI generally only have time to dick with games during the winter hibernation season. I haven't powered on either of the two Xbox One consoles I have since last December. I have a nice A/V system and more than anything wanted to see how good the new graphics looked and the soundtracks sounded
Still pretty early in the generation, so it's kind of difficult to say, really. The audio on the PS5 is great if you have 3D audio compatible headphones. The graphics are stellar. Demon's Souls and Ratchet and Clank both look insane, but it's the loading times that are insane on it. What would take a minute or more on the previous generation loads in seconds.
For instance, take Hades...I can go from a powered off console to actually playing the game in under 20 seconds.

It's not guaranteed, but I found that probably 90% of the time the bait will be behind a Centaur Heart or Coin door. It's much less common for it to be behind one of the gods
But yeah, Temple of Styx is brutal

What sort of builds do you usually run?
Always try to get Athena's dash move and Aphrodite's call no matter what
Even though Athena's dash does very little damage, it deflects projectiles which is BEYOND important.
Aphrodite's call on paper seems like it wouldn't be that useful but it's actually the most powerful attack in the game - it'll basically wipe an entire phase out of any boss in one shot when fully charged

Depends on the weapon I'm running. I generally go with whichever one gives the 20% darkness bonus, because I run the mirror perk that gives you a life bump when you pick up darkness. If I'm using the rail, I try like hell to get the Daedalus improvement that switches the special from a mortar to a rocket, then I generally take whichever boons improve special. Haven't actually gotten a call yet.

Re: Just ordered my PS5
Oh man, get the hammer that let's you launch 3 mortars rapidly. You can spam the fuck out of it and destroy everything; especially if you have Dionysus' trippy shot attached to it that leaves the fog behind and the associated boons that power up the fog

Night before last, I got the rocket upgrade and the boost that provides an extra 500% damage to armor, and the bone hydra got absolutely demolished.

But I will make it through Styx sooner or later. The rooms in there are so fucking small.

Re: Just ordered my PS5
The build diversity on that game is truly staggering; it's so much fun to find all the epic combinations you can do
Fuck now I wanna play it again
