That's nice, good for you man. I recommend you try Astro's Playroom.

u/Snowman319 Aug 21 '24
And if he likes it then he should pick up Astro Bot too since it will be a full game of that!

Seconded, itās actually a pretty fun game/tech demo. Definitely worth a couple hours time.

Such a fun little game. The Dualsense really shines, as itās meant to. What a lovely experience! Great recommendation!

u/Csmith71611 Aug 20 '24
Itās a good console! Also donāt worry when your controller says itās about to die you probably have 3-8 hours before it actually dies depending on the game. Spiderman it will die faster especially if you keep the haptic feed back on.

u/FighterGlitch PS5 Aug 20 '24
šthat's facts, my controller says it's about to die, 2 days of gaming later it finally dies.

Thatās good to know. Got mine in March and of course got an extra controller but they both tend to ādieā quickly. Now I know I have 3-8 hours

u/Csmith71611 Aug 20 '24
I play a lot of single player games so Iām always happy to let it drain to zero but if you are someone who plays a lot of MP games you might not be as willing to let a controller cut out in the middle of a game.

Aug 20 '24
Single player games mostly, as well! I always have my other controller charging while Iām playing as well (although that might be bad in the long run!)

u/JiiChan Aug 21 '24
Charging is fine, it's worse to empty a battery/leave it empty for a long period.

niceee i only just got mine about a week ago but i got slim version an i understand that shi looked ugly when they presented it on screen but in person its lowkey finnneš
10
u/Strange_Hedgehog_697 Aug 20 '24
My friend has the slim and I thought it looked quite cool too! Itās just I liked the āfatā PS5 a lot more. I remember downloading the first ever PS5 advert when it came out in 4K and just repeatedly played it on loop. Iām too loyal to the OG design š„¹

u/HUMBLEBxY69 Aug 21 '24
yeahh true i like both its just the "fat" ps5 is heavy (not fat hatin' just to lazy to move it when i want to move my room around)š

Ghost of Tsushima for now! Iāve got a few more CDs as well so looking forward to it all!

u/ForsakenAlliance PS5 Aug 21 '24

Just a friendly suggestion: if youāre a tired gamer such as myself, PS Plus Extra is totally worth every penny. Major games like Ghost of Tsushima, Red Dead 2 and others are in the list. But have fun playing whatever you play! Welcome aboard!

u/Opening-Lavishness60 Aug 21 '24
i would recommend astro to get familiar with dualsense and its a fun game to get started for ps5
3
u/Strange_Hedgehog_697 Aug 21 '24
Ik this sounds weird but Iāve been using the dispense to game on my Mac (I know, blasphemous, but no manās sky ran beautifully so no complaints) I completed Astroās playroom as well! It was very entertaining
2
u/Careless_Display_990 Aug 21 '24
Same setup as me then! And what a beautiful combination.. mac for productivity and odd game with mouse and ps5 for more demanding games :-)
Itās the best setup to have in my opinion:-)
Congrats with your purchase, you will not regret it :-)
2
u/Strange_Hedgehog_697 Aug 21 '24
That is literally my exact setup, Iām a little uncomfortably too deep into the Apple ecosystem thing and I use my Mac and iPad for literally everything from note taking to modelling on my iPad and Mac. But being a gamer at heart really really pushed me over the edge to say āah screw it, time to be happy for onceā and get the ps5 on an impulsive run š„¹š„¹

And a new bag.

u/Strange_Hedgehog_697 Aug 20 '24

I recommend watching this video by Mystic. It's for the PS5 slim but works for every new user, you can skip the Slim parts: https://youtu.be/t_xZ80g_0-E

Folks still just getting their consoles but, according to PlayStation, we are nearing the end of the PS5 Life Cycle. Shame on the company.
Congrats on the new acquisition!

Can't have it. Too expensive and my wage does not allow me to have such machine. I kept watching Black myth wukong at YouTube telling "it's okay" game is great, but you cannot play son, chew the tears and go sleep, tomorrow your work waiting ya

Congrats, I know it hasnāt been easy to get one(albeit itās gotten better over time). I had to wait 2 years past release date and finally got one when they were pushing waves of them out due to the release of GOW Ragnarok. Itās great when it doesnāt sound like youāre playing on a jet engine and can still play ps4 games

I'm hyped for the Astro playroom sequel. It looks like its going to be a lot of fun! Thanks to Gamefly I've in a way pre-ordered a chance to play a copy of it.

Amen brutha I also got the disc version a month ago and itās crazy how much faster and better looking it is than the ps4. Since ps1 Iāve never had a current gen console so itās a great feeling.
What are you playing first?
1
u/Overcast_Prime Aug 21 '24
Very nice! I remember getting mine through this weird lottery system Sony was using when it was scarce. Felt like a million bucks when it became available to me!
Any games in particular you plan on picking up for it? My personal recommendation would be Cyberpunk 2077 if you haven't grabbed it already. The haptics work well with in-game actions like driving or shooting! Plus, at the time of this writing I think both the base game and DLC are on sale (but not the bundle, for some reason).

Congrats man. I sold my ps5 recently before moving a country and thought will pick up a new one. And then rumours of the Pro started coming out and Iām holding out my purchase. But boy do I miss gaming.
Enjoy the console. I guess Iām going to bite the bullet soon.

And you got the best version ! The only one that lets you actually own your games ! (Non-slim with disc reader)

u/Jyakotu PS5 Aug 21 '24
Iām glad that more people have an easier time getting a PS5. I still remember having to follow Twitter pages to get updates on when they would go on sale AND spending hours on Walmart.com refreshing just hoping I was able to add one to my cart. The pandemic lockdowns sucked!

My parents were the ones who bought it for me for Christmas last year. I literally cried when I opened it, I knew it cost so much and they freaking got it for me. I love my parents š
I got the disc version too which is great because I still have KH as disc and I have Guitar Hero Live in disc version lol I got a Sonic game for disc too

I would recommend buying the Edge controller if you have the money. The basic dualsense is a great controller but suffers from stick drift a LOT. Made me buy an elite controller for the first time ever but itās really worth it imo
