Another issue I have with the duels is that I'm a stealth player. Probably what I should have done for all these Kojiro duels was switch up my charms and armor for a melee build. I just went charging in with what I had equipped.

Oh for Pete's sake. I've been all over the place with what missions I'm doing. I just now got the flaming arrows from a mission, which would have been SUPER USEFUL during a lot of quests. :rolleyes:

This game is amazing!!! Best I have played since Last of us 1 on Ps3.

Sony went to Sucker Punch and said make us a Zelda for adults!!

It’s a much much better version of Zelda.

the Duels are awesome and the its great you can approach missions in multiple ways. As a ninja, samuari or a psycho just throwing grenades and explosive arrows :)

my only knock on the game is I hate when you finish a mission it loads for like 15-30 seconds. It’s also a bit buggy.

That was my biggest issue with the game, not being able to make some predefined sets of armor/charms like in assassin's creed odyssey. I'm pretty sure several hours of my gametime went to changing outfits (didn't bother the charms). I would've loved to have a stealth, ranged, melee & duel set.

I absolutely love how the Sakai armor looks but I don't wear it because the bonus is useless to me as a stealth player.

Yeah, I had the same, didn't use some armor just because I couldn't be bothered to change everything. Like all the bow-missions you had, I never bother changing gear, yet with predefined sets I sure would've. Or just to switch between travelers attire and ghost armor.

This Legends update is massive. I had no clue they would be handing out so much content for free. Played some co-ops with a friend and really enjoying it!

If you’re going to add it to the backlog; wait some more. Black Friday is just around the corner.

I’ve bought me Days Gone last summer in a sale. Haven’t touched it yet and now we’re getting it for free in a couple of weeks in the PS+ collection. #lessonlearned

Isn’t the PS+ collection only for launch PS5 owners?
I won’t be upgrading due to a birthday-given ps4 pro this past July w/ year sub of PS Now?
But I’ll just wait if there’s any deals this holiday season.
Just bought SW Squadrons for $30 yesterday and having fun playing it in VR.

You can always wait longer and pay less. I only buy games if I want to play them right at that moment these days. Otherwise I wait.

Not sure, but I’ve scored a pre-order so I’m getting it for free anyways. So wasted money on my part.
I've been dragging my feet on playing Act 3 because I want to play it on my PS5!
Oh man, don’t, the loading screens are already fast on the PS4 and graphics are awesome. The ending is really cool, so just finish it ?

Nope, it’s part of the PS+ Collection.

I am wondering if someone could not secure a preorder nor get one on launch day, will they be able to get the ps+ collection (if ps5 was bought in December)?

You forget that I'll have a PS5 next week. ;)

Even if you’d get it tomorrow, don’t wait for it. The game is too good to be left unplayed. And it’s not getting a “real” PS5-patch, just an unlock for a higher framerate and faster loading, and since that games framerate is already awesome and the loading really fast: need to wait.

I am SO glad that I took a break from the campaign and waited for PS5. The game is jaw dropping at the higher framerate.

I might go for a platinum trophy. If you need help just ask.
Played some GoT Legends with a friend on my PS5 and must honestly say I didn't see that much difference with the PS4 Pro. The graphics were already nice and the loading times were fast. My GoT platinum is already covered in dust :p Trying to get the Legends trophies now, but only when a friend of mine is online. I don't like playing with randoms.

Exactly....

i see no difference in GOT graphics at all since I had a ps4 pro. The character models clothing looks brighter in fallout 4 but that could be I haven’t played it in a while and have an Oled now.

the Xbox X actually upscales old games. The ps5 just makes them run faster. I would prefer if it made games look better than faster load times.
