Nope. The PS5 discs don't work the other way.

Funny story, in the 90's a friend of mine had the PC CDROM of the original Tomb Raider, he thought nothing of putting it in his PlayStation and just assumed it would work.

He is not a stupid person, I still give him abuse about it to this day.

The 20-25 hr play time is if you only play the main story, which is what some reviewers did to get a review out in time. IGN's reviewer said he played about 20 hours and created a save game before the ending. He then went back on that save after finishing and did another 25 hours of side missions and opened up 6 more ending options before the review deadline.

Some of the YouTubers are only giving impressions because they couldn't finish it on time for a review. One of them said 20 hours in and he hasn't even scratched the surface.

There seems to be tons of content once you start going down the side mission path. The What Culture said in his impressions he was getting option paralysis. He said the side mission bar gets overwhelming and he ended up with loads of missed calls and emails for more side missions.

Yep... It's always about quality of play for me over time. It's a simple practice to make a campaign overly long, better and braver strategy is to create the best content for the player even if it takes a swipe at game length.

Assasins creed odessey would be a prime example of this

That actually sounds really annoying.

I wonder how OP you'll end up by the time you finish Cyberpunk doing all the side missions you can. On The Witcher 3 you end up seriously OP.

You can't even do all the side missions on one playthrough because choices you make influence what's open to you. Some side missions will be locked out depending on earlier decisions.

I wouldn't bother with Cyberpunk reviews. All were on PC where hardware varies (although probably had beefy machines)

Reviewers also had to be speed running the game and more the likely skipped the side quests just to try get the first review out.

I lost a few hours of gameplay in the Witcher, some stupid Vampire thing, I got caught in a loop and couldn't kill him or leave the fight. Had to go back through a good few saves to find a working point. The game just goes on and on and one especially with the expansion packs that came with the game. I love long stupid games with stupid side quests.

In real life if you were off to save somebody from the clutches of an evil warlord, ask to do so by a King or Queen would you really stop to help somebody with mutant rats eating their corn in a field? Would you feck!

Lads does anywhere have ds5's and the ps5 headset in stock?

I bought The Witcher 3 edition with the expansion pass. By the time the expansion came out I'd already finished the game. I kept meaning to go back and play them but I find it hard to muster the want to return to it.

Hi,

I’m Looking for an external hard drive to use PS4 games on a PS5.
It’s mainly for my son who currently operates on a 500gb PS4 with just enough space.

I heard keeping the PS4 games on an external drive is good for the PS5 to keep space on there for PS5 games or am I totally misunderstanding this?

I understand I need USB3 and 250gb minimum but can I simply get the cheapest HDD/SSD that meets that bill?

I don’t need a 4tb drive!

Well if you bought it on PS4 you will get a free PS5 upgrade, which is the perfect opportunity to go back and do the expansions. They are absolutely brilliant and very much worth playing.

If you were to ask me to name my top 10 moments/quests in TW3, I am not exaggerating when I say that 9/10 are from the expansions.

I have an external drive for the exact same thing but I haven't connected it yet as there are reports of people having problems connecting a HDD via USB so I'd investigate that before buying anything.

I think I may. Like I mentioned earlier I'm not bothered getting Cyberpunk until full PS5 version. I'm going through my PS4 backlog anyway before PS5 games start coming so may as well add it to the list.

Hi all.
Quick question about docking stations... Anyone know if this one is reliable or not?

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08MCJ5YQY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_UR1ZFbA860XFH?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Or is there one type/brand in particular I should avoid or aim for?

Thanks!

That isn't much of a discount on the official one, why not just go for that one?

Haven't looked too hard yet but it's unavailable on amazon

Think I'll go with this one.

You need to use an Adaptor for it, which I'm sure it comes with but at least the Sony OEM version connects with the other port which is better. I know you can't buy them right now which is annoying as I need one for somebody as a gift.

Might go ahead and re-box my own one and wait till after Christmas to get another Sony one.

Is it just me or is the disc drive a tad quieter? The stand also seems to help reduce vibrations when loading but it really doesn't sound that loud. I had to laugh at a comment on Reddit saying "it has no right to be this loud" I just installed both discs for RDR2 and it wasn't that bad. Obviously with a quiet system you notice the random disc spinning but it's a non issue and should be patched soon.

CDPR announced most of the bugs mentioned in CP2077 reviews were from the PC Day 0 patch and most will be sorted with the Day 1 patch on PS5.
I shudder to think of what it will be like on the Base PS4.

Bought a SteelSeries 7P for PS5 and am f'n chuffed with them - highly recommended.

This headset is unreal with 3D audio on PS5, just plug and play too - wireless.

Anyway got a mail from Steelseries this afternoon about new custom caps and straps available today and ALL SOLD OUT already. Jaesus!

New Cyberpunk ones too...

Does the USB-C to USB-A adapter work on the PS5? I really like the look of those Arctis 7P's but I ****in hate that stupid design of USB-C dongle.

It works on the PS4 so don't know why it wouldn't on the PS5.

I''m out now mate. As above though - its an adapter so same signal going in - should work fine.

I'm using the offical charging station plugged into rear PS5 USB port so zero need for the front USB for me. Also, the headset dongle can be pulled in/out whenever another device is needed - pairs straight away again when plugged in again.

Incredible sound, light and extremely comfortable... Best headset I've ever owned. The PS5 sound engine helps too!

For the first time today I had two game freezes - PS UI still working but game froze - Demon Souls and Division 2...

I also had serious framedrops during a DS session last week, restarted the game and it fixed it..?!
