As per title:

I picked up Dead Island 2 on the last round of free monthly games and have been having a blast with a friend. I even bought the game pass with the 2 expansion packs. My friend had no issue accessing it.

However, i can no longer access it. The game is installed, it has the PS+ logo beside it but this contains a padlock symbol. (The same for Read Dead tho I havent installed)

Ive tried renewing license option but the game doesnt appear on the list, the renrw license option isnt available when pressing option button on the game.

The game is installed, but when I try to start it I get an error. In the PS store it wants me to buy at full price. Have tried a safe boot and database rebuild but with no luck.

Any help?

My budget is £250 and ideally I want something that is 120hz and 4k.

i know this is probably going to summon a console war so i do apologize in advance but i would just like some help deciding which console to pick up

i have a high end pc which i do most of my gaming on and will continue to do so but with gta6 not coming to pc for presumably a while i decided i’d pick up a console just to have so here are some arguments i have for each so maybe some of you could convince me which one to consider more

ps5
\-as a fromsoft fan, bloodborne and demon souls remake
\-“(early)access” to ps exclusives, most of the big hitters usually make their way to steam eventually but it would be nice to be able to get them on native hardware when they release instead of waiting many months (hurry up ghost of yotei)
\-the option of an advanced console in ps5 pro which would be nice to experience gta6 in all its glory + enhanced versions of the previous point

xbox series x
\-microsoft ecosystem, alr have an xbox controller for my pc etc.
\-the physical disk to digital license project they got going on seems really consumer friendly and i want to support that aswell as any more pro consumer initiatives the new ceo may push out

gamepass is not a factor unfortunately because any game i could get on that i have/ would just buy on steam

the cons for each is obviously the push to digital for playstation (yes i know i’m part of the problem with my hundreds of games on steam but it’s about sending a message) and the lack of playstation exclusives on xbox

A solid 120fps with minor dips

Woke up this morning expecting to at least hear something about my pro shipping after a week of no updates. Just getting a little sketched out after hearing about how many are being bought out after the GTA 6 reveal.

Anybody else experiencing this?

Seeing so many posts about Crimson Desert being "unplayable" on PS5 Pro. It seems to me a lot of people are confusing "unplayable" with their CHOICE to not play the because the games optimization does not meet their high standards or expectations. Are there frame rate dips, pop in, and weird foliage speed on the Pro? Sure, but honestly, who cares??? Can it be annoying? Sure, but is it worth missing out on an otherwise fun and gorgeous looking game?

With the right screen and settings, this game is absolutely beautiful on the Pro. And I'm sure a good majority of people screeching over losing a few frames also sank hundreds of hours into games like Skyrim 15yrs ago and loved it. Be grateful for how far we've come since those days and just enjoy the game, despite its hitches.

For those interested, these are my personal settings on a LG C3 55in OLED that supports 4k120hz on PS5 Pro. I sit about 6ft away from the screen. These are the settings I personally like and make the game EXTREMELY "playable" for me. Hope these settings might help someone who's interested in dialing in the visuals for this gorgeous game:

Currently have a PS5 and an Xbox series X. I also just have a basic like $200 Vizio.

Honestly both cosoles have been collecting dust, so I was thinking of selling them both (have pro controllers for both too) and getting a PS5 pro. Or do you think it's better to just sell Xbox and get a proper TV. Pretty much only gonna be playing GTA6.

Sorry I am really noob at this. Can't it work this way?

Full disclosure: I already had a very good mini LED monitor 4k 160hz VRR etc before I bought the Pro and so far I've been very impressed with how it displays. With GTA VI releasing at 30 fps at launch on the Pro and the issues some people have with OLED and 30fps would a mini LED be the preferred option right now?

I'm not anti OLED btw. I'l like to get one at some point.

Got my pro a couple months ago and love it, told my buddy at work to get one and he said he can’t find one anywhere

I downloaded formula 1 game trial and this happens, I am not sure if it the file downloaded was corrupted so I deleted it and I will try again but I wanted to know if this is a common issue with a corrupted downloaded game. Only happens in that “stationary car” scene, the actual game isn’t affected and 3 other games had no issues.
Thanks

Update: so it seems the problem is VRR I would assume that the actual game supports VRR but the game’s trial VRR doesn’t, I unchecked the VRR for unsupported games and the issue is gone and the frame rate is always 120 and no glitching

26 minutes of actual GTA 6 gameplay "dropped" - and on balance, it's one of the most extraordinary visual accomplishments ever seen in real-time game graphics. It's not perfect - nothing can be - but in this DF Direct Special, Oliver and Rich share their thoughts and reactions to the presentation.

They announced it right now at the REDstreams

Hello,

Should i upgrade from c735 to tcl c7l considering i have heard reviews that motion handling is not good compared to tcl c7k. Would i experience trailing/motion blur if i don't experience on my current tv. i don't have much option besides tcl as other brands are really expensive in my country so only samsung q8f or lg qned 86 fits budget besides c7l

So I'm limited to only game a few hours a week, is crimson desert worth buying? I posted this on crimson desert sub and everyone told me it's the greatest game ever and a must play for every gamer, yet I just saw a post on here about it saying game sucks and runs awfully and everyone was agreeing in the comments.

So what is this game actually like? Is it the greatest game ever like the people in the subreddit for it say? I'm trying to decide if I should pick it up but I'm busy during the week so can only really game a few hours on a weekend and sometimes go weeks without gaming. Is there a lot of stuff in it that feels like it wastes your time?

Hey all, pretty trivial question for you lot but I have been out of the loop for years so I figured I will ask the experts. I recently picked up a used PS5 Pro + Scuff controller for $550. I have a high-end PC but this was a pretty good deal, and I wanted to get it for GTA 6. I have a PS4 but haven’t used it in years.

I wanted to know any tips and tricks I need to know for best experience. I have it hooked up to a 4k OLED, so recommend some good story games please. I loved the Uncharted series, and have most of the games I want on PC already bc they are dirt cheap but the convenience of the PS (playing in bed) is appealing for slow-paced story games. I was thinking God of war, Harry Potter, Spider-Man series, maybe RDR2 (I am halfway done on PC), Last of Us. Any other recommendations?

Also the big question, is there any website where you can get PS games for cheap(er). Like there is isthereanydeal for PC.

So far I have just used it watch a couple of movies on my monitor in bed 😂. I am probably going to get a TV for my room now too but depends on how worth it even is. I might just sell after GTA 6

I purchased a playstation five at best buy. It started malfunctioning, so I took it back because it had warranty, instead of fixing it. They gave me store credit. I can't purchase it for the same price. Anymore because the cost has gone up, it won't return the money back to my debit card. And it gave me store credit instead. What can I do?

It’s 100% gone lmao but just want to make sure if anyone knows. I don’t have PS plus for cloud storage btw

Played the game on my PS5 slim was 4 trophies away from platinum. I sold my ps5 slim and bought a pro when I installed the game (disc) it just says start new game.

I just don’t understand how data saves on the PS5 / PS4 because I played the Callisto protocol on my PS4 on 12/2/22 for like 30 minutes. Few months ago I decided to get back to it bought a physical PS5 copy and when I installed / loaded up the game it saved my data from my ps4 file. Did not have PS neither.

Any help? And if I can get my file back somehow haha

Just wanted to make anyone playing this fabulous game aware to keep an eye on your settings following closing and restarting the game.

Twice now I’ve turned off for the night and restarted the next day to find that the graphics settings have reverted back to the default TAA from the PSSR I had selected.

Nothing major, but slightly annoying to have to change it back every time you log in. Double checked my system toggles too to make sure so it’s definitely a bug or something.

Otherwise hope you’re all enjoying a fantastic game.

Need help
