Don’t know what launch/in around launch game to buy with the ps5, what’s everyone else going with?

I think Demon Souls looks the best. I don't really like QTE games but will get MM when it drops in price.

I'm going to start with Demon's Souls but might also buy Dirt 5 to see what 120fps is like.
I'll also look to start God of War from the PS+ Collection.

and Bloodborne too if it's patched for 60fps :-)

I’m starting with Astro and moving onto Spider-Man remastered and then Miles after that.

I started Spider-Man at the start of the year, got distracted, and left it a few months. When I came back, I realised I’d stopped in the middle of a boss battle and completely forgot how to play so abandoned it again :pac:

What TV/monitor do you have?

I'm really hoping BB gets patched.

Have never been the type for single player games, normally play CoD for months on end with the lads

But this time around, ill have a 55" 4k TV (soon!) so want to sit back and relax, and play some decent single player games. Ill be getting AC: Valhalla, definitely giving days gone a try as I never played that.

Yeah if BB gets patched I might actually play through it again, try get the full ending and maybe go with a different build/weapon.

Invested in a new 65 inch Sony XH90 a few months ago. Want to get the most from her

That's actually one of the ones I was looking at. Herself prefers the Samsung Frame TV but either way I've to wait until next year to get a new TV as we've to get the sitting room done up first according to the boss!!

I don't have a 4k tv, suppose that's something else to look in to getting!

Have pre ordered Demon Souls so that's the first game I'll be spending hours on.

Kind of like the look of Godfall but don't want to over do the third person perspective games.

Not sure on Spiderman, have Spidey on the pro and played through twice.

Yeah I relied way too much on the R2 Hunter Axe attack for everything. Might have made the combat a bit more bland than it should have been.

Was it the no gap wall mounting or the picture frame add on.

Last time I played bloodborne I started using the parry, never had before, think Sekiro probably thou me a bit more about parrying.

Will probably have another play through on PS5

I found the parry great for human enemies/bosses, but for everything else, big axe swing to knock them down and charge up the next big axe swing. I just couldn't get the timing right for parries with beast type enemies compared to Sekiro.

Saw this is an argos catalogue earlier, might be of interest to some. Not sure if accessories are going live 12th or 18th

Are Argos going to be open on the 19th and will they be able to sell over the counter. Sony said yesterday it was only click and collect.

The bots will eat these up on the Argos system the night before.

The frame was what caught her eye and then the fact there'd be only one cable coming from the TV was a big plus as she wants it hung over the stove on the chimney breast.

Argos are open but only letting you in if you can show them an online reservation number.

This is a bit unfair, Spiderman really only had the QTEs during the major setpieces, of which there were maybe only 3 or 4 during the entire 20 Hr game.

Even if they were selling over the counter, there's no chance your getting a PS5 that way anyway.

Argos will be one to keep an eye on. I nabbed a ps4 on launch day back in the day, but from a nearby county, which restrictions will affect this time around. If people are making reservations for ps5's on the other side of the country and don't collect, there could be something available 48 hours later.

Argos is essentially only click and collect so I reckon they will be open

Yes but like other high value items people actually sell the reservations so may be only a small few. Boards.ie bargain alerts section itself is littered with people who reserve stuff never with any intention of collecting.

Anyway, beware of Argos staff poaching as well. I bought a Dyson(black friday) and reserved at full price on the night before(leaked price in the UK), price dropped overnight, went in and collected it and two staff behind the counter giving me daggers. One even said something like "here's the guy Sharon who got it" and asked him how I bagged the only Dyson available that they bought wanted.

Think I'll opt for a budget..ish new TV and maybe go for a higher end TV in the new year.

Fecking hate buying anything like this as there are so many options, will check the TV thread anyway, more reading

Just save and get a good one. No sense buying a budget one now and another in the new year. It will be worth it to save and get the best you can. The LG C9 is excellent, CX series just launched so might find a C9 with a reasonable price. Get onto RicherSounds

For me it was between the LG CX and the Sony but I preferred the OS on the Sony. That's really what swung it for me. With the cash I saved going with the Sony I bumped it up from the 55 inch to the 65 inch and I don't regret it now (even though it was a scary few minutes mounting it on the wall all by myself )

It does stick out a bit from the wall (I'm using an old wall mount from 2009) but I don't mind. I plan on putting some bias lighting behind it in the future to make it stand out even more!

I'm debating going for HDMI 2.1 or just getting a fairly decent 4k 50Hz panel, still not entirely sure, all depends on black friday.

HDMI 2.1: Sony XH9005, LG 55BX, LG NANO86 55" (fairly poor blacks afaik)

4k 50Hz: Whatever is half decent and cheap in black friday... :pac:

I know theres a serious difference, but again it will all come down to pricing. Im either gonna go big or relatively cheap.

Yeah I'm in the same boat, due a TV upgrade but gonna wait for Black Friday to see what the deals are like

I have the LG C9 (almost identical to the CX) and you will not be disappointed with the CX . Best tv i've ever owned the ps4 pro looks stunning on it i cannot wait to see how the PS5 looks

I'd just hold off and put your full lot to a new TV. It's like a matress purchase, you'll use it a lot and it'll last a long time so spend money to get one that you'll be happy with.

I'll be giving the Richer Sounds guys a shout but not going any bigger than 55" as we've a small sitting room so there's no need for a massive TV.

If you're going for HDMI 2.1 for the ability to display 4K120HZ, then be wary of the the XH90.. Fantastic TV, I own it and I've had it for the past 3 weeks. But the 4K120HZ is buggy and ends up causing a lesser quality image
