Gwent is super straightforward easy on anything other than the final quest, but it’s a delight to play. It’s completely unbalanced but that’s the joy - it really makes you feel you’re progressing through the ranks gradually, even if your deck is just growing more overpowered :pac: Just try one or two of the early game quests and you’ll be flying quickly - and you’ll be swiftly consumed for a half dozen hours.

In contrast the actual standalone game feels a bit too competitive and carefully balanced - no surprise they had to change the very basics to get it to work in that way. Makes for a better game for the committed maybe, but there’s a simple, accessible purity to the Witcher 3 version that I didn’t get at all from some brief dabbling with the standalone.

Interesting, I never played Gwent in Witcher 3 (well I did one game and didn't get it), but then I played Thronebreaker and got really into it. After that I tried the standalone game but couldn't get into it at all, I think it's like you said, the standalone game is so finely balanced, it just never felt as fun as building up my OP deck in Thronebreaker.

Can anyone recommend some good - reasonable priced - library of PS4 games to have in stock for PS5 launch in November I could pickup in cex? (or buy used privately?)

I had an XBox last gen - so can have some catching up on Playstation titles - I'm into the campaign Skyrim / Fallout type games.

Ill be getting max one or two ps5 games at the quite high 70 euros each - but looking for some good filler titles till the ps5 games come down in price a bit or available used...

Be cheaper nearly to get PS+ and download something from the collection. You can get a subscription cheaper if you shop around a few places like CDKeys or Eneba.

Battlefield 1
Bloodborne
Days Gone
Detroit: Become Human

Thanks for the list - Myself, I like the idea of owning disks that don't expire - we like to revisit old games and consoles, I will be looking out for the above especially.. cheers.

It’s currently on sale in the psn store for €8.99. An absolute steal at that price and even more so considering the free upgrade to ps5.

Xbox uk tweeted "how to swap your console from vertical to horizontal" and just 2 pics, one standing and one on its side, as in no stand needed. They deleted it which is a pity cuz that's just funny banter like when Sony made a video how to swap games with your friends.

The free PS5 upgrade applies to both the base version and the Game of the Year Edition.


Wish I could get into that game, love a massive RPG. The combat never clicked with me

They probably deleted it because the US Xbox account has been tweeting out some 'end the console wars' nonsense.

Also by my count that is about the 14th time the Xbox brand has gotten back at Sony for the sharing video. They should really stop trying, they are never going to top it.

Most people sold them to CEX before the price dropped. Tbh unless you are including a load of extras, you are not gonna get anywhere near 240 for it. If someone offers you 200 you should bite their hand off.

GS are offering 200 trade credit for a pro, though I know they’re in a lot of hot water for the pre-order mess.

I think you can bump that up to about 250 if you get their loyalty card and use the trade-credit against pre-orders (games/consoles)...

Nicetrustedcup

I think 240 is being real for if maybe 220 if the person isn’t a tire kicker

Have my ps5 ordered from Amazon so GameStop is no go for me,

So fingers crossed someone who isn’t a tire kicker will show up

However I bought borderlands 3 for 10 pounds just now for the free upgrade to ps5 version ....

The removable side panels feature is very exciting. You could basically change the entire look of the console. I'm sure a lot of really creative folks will be designing panels soon enough.

I'm picturing something like a custom black & red spiderman side panel with built in LEDs, illuminating the spiderman logo and powered by one of the USB ports on the back.

There's already a miles morales mockup online but yeah the customisation be great, xbox 360 had something similar in the past

Yeah

I'll be happy enough when 3rd parties on the likes of Aliexpress get on board with them, I won't be spending big bucks on an OEM. My PS3 and PS4 which will still be on the unit next to the PS5 are black so frankly a simple black panel for me.

People will go mad with making these, maybe even ones with LEDs in them connected to the USB port.

I wouldn't mind a yellow and black PS5 to remind of the Jordan F1 team when they had Benson & Hedges sponsoring them.

Just googled it and christ it looks amazing if this is the one you're talking about. Just make it with built-in LEDs via USB that can be plugged in at that back and I'd buy it



If Sony see a big market for side panels a potential revision they could make to the console in a few years is letting us choose in the settings what colour the LED built into the console is. I think it's blue on startup, but letting us choose a colour to match whatever side panel we are using would be a nice little feature. In the Miles Morales console above they look to be red for example.

All 100m+ PS4 consoles sold are hidden under TVs. It's the law.

Had mine mounted behind the TV on the wall. Stealthy!

No chance if that with the ps5. Unless I take off the panels and create a new mount.... Hmmmm
