Yea, extra has paid for itself already for me. I played a few games on my wish list and thankfully I didn’t buy them (WRC10 and Race4). I have been playing Returnal and The Division (both great games) for the last few days plus a few indie games out of curiosity. Pleasantly surprised at the value so far despite the extra €40 on top of lowest tier.

A leak going round that Ghost Recon Wildlands will be one of the mid August games for the upper tiers

EoinMcLovin · 10-08-2022 4:35pm

Brilliant. I've been agonising for months about whether to get Monopoly Madness or Monopoly Plus. Best month ever.

Potential-Monke · 11-08-2022 6:09am

Is Wildlands A: any good, and B: playable solo? Haven't played a Tom Clancy game since the early PS2 ones.

It's a good game, and yes you play it solo.

Jordan 199 · 13-08-2022 3:02pm

I upgraded to Premium so I could play Red Dead Redemption. The streaming was mostly fine, but the game did slow down and freeze sometimes.

Plug your Playstation directly into the modem where possible with an ethernet cable.

I never really have issues with streaming, long as that's the case. If I'm in work and I try to stream on Wi-Fi with the phone or something, it usually sucks!

My Playstation is in a different room from the modem so the ethernet cable is out. I'll come up with a solution sometime.

Yeah, maybe something like a powerline ethernet extender will do the trick for you 🙂

Just my own thoughts anyway, as I feel the 2 experiences are worlds apart, wired vs Wi-Fi 👍

Potential-Monke · 14-08-2022 7:36am

+1 for Powerlines. I get ping and latency issues sometimes on Rocket League on WiFi but never an issue with the Homeplugs. Got the TP Link ones, the 150Mbps, for around €40, think the Gb ones are near €10 or something. A bit more for each if you want them to be a WiFi range extender too.

corcaigh07 · 14-08-2022 7:49am

Another +1 for powerline adapters, I find the Wi-Fi to be worse on PS5 than PS4 for online gaming. No lag with Ethernet.

duploelabs · 14-08-2022 8:17am

Another +1 to powerline adapters. I've my driving rig and PS4 running off WiFi, and the ping/lag made anything competitive impossible, powerline adapter sorted that out sharpish

jj880 · 14-08-2022 11:01am

Yeah the tplink plugs are the business. I've everything cabled that I can cable. Massive improvement on PS5, PC, android box and TV. Haven't streamed gaming yet but have an IPTV sub I'm gona try today on my TV.

CastorTroy · 14-08-2022 11:34am

Yeah the powerline adapters are great. And can get passthrough ones so you don't lose the sockets.

Jordan 199 · 14-08-2022 8:00pm

So I found a box for powerline adapters I bought back in 2020 for smart lighting. I have one adapter, but the other one is missing. Maybe it grew a pair of legs and walked out the door.

Potential-Monke · 14-08-2022 8:54pm

Actually, anyone here got a WiFi6 router and notice any improvement?

Gave up on Yakuza, after about 20 minutes I just wasn't feeling it. More and more games are making character interactions better, so it's kinda jarring to go back to a game which has those silences between lines.

Always the case, something always goes missing 😁

It's ok. Super repetitive, basically doing the same thing over and over and over again.

Zero-Cool · 16-08-2022 12:17pm

PS Pluss Extra games now live. Does anyone have just ps plus essential and can check something? I'm trying to figure out if when you are upgrading to Extra, is there a discount price depending on how many months of essential you have left or how does it look?

My plus premium is up this week, trying to decide whether to go essential or extra.

Jacovs · 16-08-2022 12:26pm

This is how it looks for me, I have Essential only.

johnny_ultimate · 16-08-2022 12:28pm

Yeah I just have essential and if you try to upgrade it's based on how long you have left in the current subscription. So mine is currently up until May 2023 or something, and I'd pay for 9 months of 'Extra' if I upgraded.

Zero-Cool · 16-08-2022 2:45pm

Great thanks lads.

Justin10 · 16-08-2022 10:19pm

If I was on holiday in Turkey, can I buy PlayStation premium over there and use it on my PlayStation back in Ireland or is that all stopped?

EoinMcLovin · 16-08-2022 11:04pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119483107#Comment_119483107

PSN credit and subs are tied to region of account. If you bought playstation plus premium in Turkey, it would not work on your Irish Account.

Ah, fair enough. That, and the fact you control an AI team who aren't always the best... think I'll give it a pass. Cheers!

Tried it last night for about 3 hours. All the missions were miles apart. Drive for ages to get to mission, your team are muck, controls are iffy to say the least. Deleted it soon after. The load screen alone annoyed me. Big Ubisoft banner top right telling you various things you “won” before it even started.

awec · 17-08-2022 10:54pm

It's your standard Ubisoft game.

Make a big open world and put lots of filler in it. The open world lets you do the areas in whatever order you choose, which sounds impressive but it's not really since the actual game mechanic of every area is exactly the same, all that changes is the topography.

Do a few missions, kill a boss. Drive a lot. Rinse and repeat.

Jacovs · 18-08-2022 11:14am

Maybe I will get an answer here faster than from Sony.

If you move from Ireland to a different country, whats your options?

Quit your irish PS Plus sub, lose all the games, and start a new account in the new location and start from scratch?

Or can you change the mobile number on your irish account to a mobile number in the new country? And top up your Irish PS Plus sub via paypal using a bank account from the new country?

Exclamation Marc · 18-08-2022 11:41am

You can't change regions so you'd need to quit your Irish sub and set up a brand new account.
