@MightyDemon82 Just as I'm making progress, it's froze six times. I've given up for the night and will persevere tomorrow.

@TheIdleCritic I didn't think I was going to enjoy Manhunter at all but, after some grinding, I'm now an adult (my wife would beg to differ) and quite enjoying it.

I have a theory on these frame rate drops, because I can't say that I've seen it... I don't play in HDR.

Gaming and HDR gives me headaches due to staring at the screen intently. Plus, I've an OLED and I don't want to disable HUDS/permanent images so I tend to game without HDR enabled on the PS5, as I did on the Pro.

I wonder if there's any correlation between disabled HDR and the lack of frame rate drops?

Just a thought.

@TheIdleCritic I'm loving Maneater so far! Not noticed any technical issues either.

@MightyDemon82 I had a few goes of the Arcade mode on DAS earlier. It was fun, bright but very shallow. I tried a couple of online matches but kept getting booted to the main menu part way through a match. I'm not massively into online mulitplayer, so no skin of my nose anyway.

@Woogy @JohnnyShoulder I completed it in one setting and got the platinum. I enjoyed my time with it lol. I just don't think I'd want to dive back in.

Perhaps you're right about the HDR in some cases. But my TV doesn't support it, so for me it's something different.

Woogy

@TheIdleCritic Oh well, if your TV isn't HDR capable and you still experienced frame drops, that discounts my theory then.

@MightyDemon82 yeah I gave it a go last night, enjoyed it more than I thought I would, decent game to just mess around on now and again

Playing Control now and my goodness this game is fun! Wasn't really ever on my radar but very happy it came to Plus. Having a great time with it!

Just got the platinum for Mortal Kombat 11. Some of it was a bit of a grind but I thoroughly enjoyed every moment. It is one hell of a good fighter.

@WCB Nice, are you playing the Kombat League? How are you doing this season?

@Voltan nah, I just concentrated on what I had to do to get the plat, though I did play one or two ranked games. I'm just not very good. I watched a few matches of some of the better players and the relentless combos they can pull off is impressive. I should say this was my first MK since the second.

@WCB it's my first since MK4. The pro's combos are indeed impressive (I watched the Pro Kompetition stream last night and picked this up... took me at least an hour to get it right: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrfSngJds58 ) but really what differentiates them from us mortals is knowing when to do what based on what the opponent can do - combos are the easy part

I've been slowly making my through Demon's Souls. I play it, love it, get frustrated and quit, then repeat over time. Every time I do play it though, it makes me feel like I need my PS5 because the game is so spectacular and looks so next gen. A truly brilliant launch title.

@Jaz007 I have heard it’s one of the easiest of the Soulsborne / FromSoft games (although still difficult). Would you agree?

@Zeldafan79 if your stateside ps5stockalerts on Twitter helped me get a ps5. I'm sure the equivalent is in other areas as well. Good luck!

I have been playing NMS and Control mostly, not technically pure Ps5 games. I do want Demons Souls and will get eventually, but I can't seem to justify spending $70. I'm hoping for a slight psplus sale soon. Although being one of the few Ps5 games I'm sure it will be awhile.

@Elodin Here in the UK the lowest price I've seen is about £51 at online retailers, reduced from £69.99.

@velio84 No problem. I find the best way to use the forum is to hover over the forums tab at the tab of the page and then select "all topics" from the dropdown to see what's been posted in most recently, rather than going through subforums.

@Th3solution Yes. The bosses game have been beaten on the first try half of the time. Overall, it’s a bit easier. That being said, sometimes bonfires or shortcuts are farther apart or can’t run past as fast, so that specific setback can feel worse.
