I think Days Gone ended yesterday for everyone, but it’s still part of the PS5 stuff.

4045

Aw, bummer. Really?* Too slow! I already have Wreckfest on PC so it’s not a draw for me.

*I assumed it would go by calendar month.

4046

The games swap the first Tuesday of the month. Just check in at the start of the month and add them to your library, you don’t even need to download them.

4047

Thanks for the info. Oh well, guess I’ll have to hunt up an old-timey disc version if I want to get a good price on it. It looked interesting, but it wasn’t anything I’d have time to play right away.

You know, my Playstation 4 backlog still languishes, despite it looking like a greatest hits collection. Maybe I chose the wrong genre by trying my hand at Uncharted 3, Spider-Man and Horizon Zero Dawn. I should try a different genre. Gran Turismo Sport maybe.

Uncharted 3’s last 3rd
Spider-Man
Shadow of the Colossus Remake
Horizon: Zero Dawn Complete
Wipeout: Omega Collection
God of War
Rez Infinite
Uncharted 4: A Thief’s end
Uncharted: Lost Legacy
Psychonauts in the Rhombus of Ruin (for when I finally get PSVR)
The Last Guardian
Gran Turismo Sport

Plus now there’s additional lure of waiting for a PS5 I might own one day to tackle the PS4 backlog, in case it runs better, and with faster loading wasting less of my time. :)

4049

This is where I am, lol.

4050

I did that, and I got to the backlog too soon. I think three games I played now or soon will have upgrade patches to make them better on the PS5.

I enjoyed the original Shadow of the Colossus way more than The Last Guardian. Maybe if you play them in the other order the graphics change and game play will feel like it’s only an improvement. I never did finish The Last Guardian.

While you should save both of these for future generation hardware, play Horizon: Zero Dawn before God of War, just because God of War outshines in every way.

4051

Contrary opinion: H:ZD has a better protagonist, better narrative, better combat, better worldbuilding, and better views.

4052

Mine too. Since I got my Series X, GamePass Ultimate & the Rewards meta game have my PS4 Pro languishing. I keep thinking I should get to a couple of the games I got for Xmas (Last of Us Remastered, the rest of the Nathan Drake/Uncharted Remastered games - finished the first - and the Spider-Man/HZD DLC packages - finished the main games and they were fantastic!).

4053
4054

That’s just crazy.

4055

Yep, I got offered $300 for my almost 2 year old PS4 Pro from a co-worker who knows I mostly game on PC. I am tempted.

4056

Sheesh, time to get off my butt and try to sell the PS4 Pro I have lying around!

4057

The last time I asked about it at GameStop, they quoted something like $270 for early-model used PS4s, because people aren’t even trading those in anymore and they sell instantly when they do come in.

4058
4059

Purchase price for a customer, not what they’d give you for one.

4060

Ahhhh.

4061

OK, someone please explain this to me. Rest Mode on PS4 supposedly allows for downloading and installing game, app and system patches, but it never seems to do so on mine, and I checked my settings and the relevant boxes are checked.

So I frequently have the experience of being ready to go and play a session of Ghost of Tsushima or whatever only to find, to my dismay, that I have to wait for a bleeping patch (or two, today) to download and install.

4062

Is it one of your recent previously played games? I think it only auto downloads updates for your last 5 or so recently played.

4063

Yeah, all I’ve been playing on the PS4 Pro recently is GoT. Now it may have been a week or even two since I last played.

It’s annoying to have to wait (because those darn game patches in particular take forever to download and install) when there’s this whole feature that’s supposed to let you avoid the problem. Would it work if I always explicitly exited the game instead of suspending it?
