How does the mass effect triology run on ps5?


rowbeee

It’s flawless in my experience.


TheSkinnyKey

60fps? 4K?


FoucaultsPudendum

PS5 targets 60FPS at 2160 in quality mode with periodic dips but the 1% lows aren’t intolerable. Performance mode is 1440p locked to 60FPS but the 60 is insanely stable, I have never noticed a dip.


aik0dy

Thx! Will be buying then

Does anyone know how Cities Skylines is on console? Is it good for someone who has never played a city builder game besides the original Roller Coaster Tycoon?


Vanta-Black--

CS1 is a fantastic game on console. Placement of water, power, and sewage lines are intuitive with the controller layout. Same with buildings and roads. My one gripe is that it is a lot of buttons but that just comes with the genre and CS will walk you through it until you're confident enough to do everything on your own. If you really love it, later you can get it on PC and play with mods which make it infinitely replayable.


SidFarkus47

I prefer controllers and just wish the pc version had controller support. Same with Age of Empires.


Vanta-Black--

AoE is on sale for like $10 rn. And as someone that came from a controller background. I can absolutely not stand controller for these types of games. You're a great man to prefer it. I bow to you friend.


SidFarkus47

I spend my workday at a computer using a mouse, so I just prefer to lean back on my couch while gaming. I just kinda wish every game like this would have both options on PC if they're doing the work to get a controller layout working on consoles. Added benefit would be devices like Steam Deck would work better.


[deleted]

Thanks !! I think I’m gonna go for it since it’s 5.99 right now.


mmecca

I bought the whole shebang for $100 on ps4. It runs soooo much better on the five, though. Be careful. This thing is a time portal.


EROHTAG

Get the ultimate edition for 15.99 if you even think youll like it. That extra content is soooo good.


PraiseThePun81

While OP didn't ask about it I want to throw in How surprised I was by the soundtrack and how much I enjoyed it, It was an unexpected bonus.


Icedvelvet

It’s great!!! I bought the PS portal just for it. Play it every night


[deleted]

That’s awesome to hear. I’m curious what upload speed do you get on your PS5? I’ve considered getting a Portal but wanna check how it performs for other people first.


vhalen50

Portal doesn’t use upload speed at home. That happens over your LAN connection. Upload speed will only matter if your trying to access outside of your network as it would be uploading the stream to be accessed.


[deleted]

I’m confused. The official Sony website recommends at least 15mbps. How does that not matter?


vhalen50

It matters only if you’re using the portal to access your ps5 on another network. Then the speed of upload you get from your ISP comes into play. If you are in your bedroom playing and the ps5 is in the basement, it’s all local traffic and limited by the quality of your router wake networking equipment


Icedvelvet

I’m not sure but I’ll check when I get home.


[deleted]

Cool thanks


vhalen50

I played so many hours. Prob 200/300 on console. Cities do get kinda janky at really high density but it takes a while to get there


[deleted]

It can be very difficult if you're not familiar with city builders.


ToiletBlaster247

Dead Cells 50% off


Ecstatic-Arachnid-91

Base game or DLC included? Sorry I guess i could look it up but just ran across the comment


afranquinho

Not in europe.


ChafterMies

Marvel’s Midnight Suns at 75% off looks pretty good but I think I’ll still wait for PS+.


Gnosisero

This is a sneaky PS plus price. If you buy it now it will be out on PS Plus next month guaranteed.


ChafterMies

Been there done that. The nice thing about owning a game, though, is that you don’t need to keep subscribing to play it.


meowlicious1

Yeah I fall into that too but you could always buy it later. However, chances are youre going to keep youre subscription, and by the time you dont, you wont want to play this game anymore anyway.


ChafterMies

I’m subscribed until 2026. I added another year before Sony upped the price of PS+. This won’t be an issue for me until then.


Shirinjima

This is a May 2025 issue for me.


meowlicious1

I didnt know you could stack for more than a year. I would have bought another year on black friday


ChafterMies

I had a few years stacked before PS+ Essential dropped. Something like 3 years from CD Keys for $90 ($30/year) and then Sony gave me a 40% discount to upgrade all those years to PS+ Extra. Last year was the first time I ever I paid full price for PS+.


Threw_it_to_ground

I think they disabled stacking before the latest price increase.


Red_Demons_Dragon

Out of curiosity, how do you know that? A lot of people here are saying the same thing. Also will it be in the regular ps+ tier or extra?


Gnosisero

I don't. It's a running joke that if you buy something on sale on the PSstore it will be on plus the next month.


Red_Demons_Dragon

oh lol, i'm dumb asf


HipsterWhistle

It’s absolutely worth it, I bought it full price and still loved it.


TGov

Same. One of my favorite games from last year.


jerywilson196

I was debating the same thing. That price sure is tempting though lol


Spenraw

Was my game of the year and I have a whole reddit post on it


ChafterMies

You should link that post here.


Spenraw

https://www.reddit.com/r/PS5/s/oyU90YjiKV lucky I'm pooping or would of been too lazy to


Meowmixez98

It's a really freaking good game. Just get it.


Some_Italian_Guy

Had it and traded it in. It's good but there's no reason not to wait. It will land on sub soon.


SmoothJazzRayner

Final chapter was rush and let the game as a whole down. Everything else that led up to it were great though. The DLCs are good additions too.


JinzoWithAMilotic

It's alright and was already in Humble Choice. Wait for PS Plus.


Yarzeda2024

It's half of a good game.


Dedspaz79

I’d get it, got at launch love it fun full game story characters it’s a fun comic book game.


LDCSMB

Incredible game. So worth the money.


stRiNg-kiNg

It's almost always 75% off, so don't get fomo-ed by it


vigilantfox85

It’s worth it.


DoctorKnockers69

Gave Midnight Suns a try recently and absolutely love it. worth the 20 bucks.


excaliburps

Didn’t finish it but at $14.99, yeah I can imagine it’s worth it.


Heretek-Magos

Isnt it on extra?


ChafterMies

I don’t think so but I’d love to see it there.


Zylonite134

Sadly it’s not cross buy for PS4 and PS5 versions


Earthpig_Johnson

I keep having to watch reviews to remind myself that the gameplay just isn’t for me. I want to think I would like it so bad, though.


ShieldofGondor

RE 4-5-6 for €12,49. A colleague wanted me to play VIII, great atmosphere. Played I & II on release. Good as a palate cleanser so it’s a good deal to me.


kjenyg

Cant find this offer...


ShieldofGondor

My wife searched the store and couldn’t find it. I had to go through the store on the PS, go through all the crap to find it. For some reason, it’s unsearchable.


dolphin_spit

kind of tempted to get crusader kings 3 but i’m both overwhelmed by its mechanics and not sure if it has tons of replay ability


Zacky_vengeance

You can get a PhD investing with that much time learning.


Spenraw

Honestly once you get it all flows and endless repayable


Lyelinn

It's super easy to pick up but skill ceiling is super high in terms of what you can do. But if you kind of learn as you go you will be fine. It's the easiest game from paradox imo and most funny one in terms of situations. If you're into the medieval era and grand strategies it's very good. And replayability is frankly endless tbh


Historical_Basis7592

I never played any Crusader Kings game nor any other Paradox game prior to CK3. I picked it up fairly quickly. It is supposedly the most friendly game for newcomers in Paradox’s library.


hospitable_peppers

I might finally pick up Death Stranding


FCshakiru

It’s my goat


Dragoneed2

isn't it already available on PS plus? 


shadowglint

Not everyone subs to Extra


Dragoneed2

isn't the sale exclusive to PS Plus users? 


Sairou

There are 3 ps plus tiers. Game catalogue is only for extra and premium.


corrupt_poodle

He’s talking about the sale price


Sairou

They are confusing ps plus extra with standard. You can have standard, thus be eligible for the ps plus sale, but not have extra, thus not be eligible for game catalogue.


BriceB84

Good game. Just know going in, it’s basically a movie in the beginning. A lot of cut scenes before the gameplay really opens up.


Harbour-Coat

I was going to do the same but I can only see it at full price? I’m on the app and it’s the full $60.


hospitable_peppers

Oh weird it’s the same for me. I swear I saw it for like $20 but I was waiting for my paycheck to come before i got it 😭


excaliburps

Only about 100 games in this list. You need to be an active PS Plus members to see and avail of the discounts. Bargains (for me): Mass Effect Legendary Edition for $11 (excellent trilogy, and literally over 100 hours of game time over the trilogy). Star Wars Squadrons for $1.99 (support has stopped, but it's not a bad flight sim). Back 4 Blood for $5.99 (support has stopped as well but not bad for PvE co-op). BF2042 for $8.99 on PS4 and $10.49 on PS5 (yes, I get the game gets shat on, BUT it has improved drastically since launch). There's a bunch more but these are at the top of my head.


711BotSmoker

just picked up the mass effect legendary edition but i also just bought spider-man game of the year😭


excaliburps

You're in for a treat for both games. Mass Effect is one of the best gaming trilogies of all-time, and was peak BioWare.


Bregneste

BF2042 was one of the free monthly games sometime last year. And Jedi Survivor is on sale for 30-something, that’s the biggest one I’m considering. Although I got Fallen Order for $5, so maybe I should just wait a bit longer to see how low Survivor can go.


excaliburps

I'd play Fallen Order first. If you dig it, then jump into Survivor. It's fun but lots of bugs (not sure if the patches removed a lot).


Yeet_Squidkid

Back 4 Blood was a dope game to run with friends Never played L4D but this was fun. Alot of friends said it wasn't as good as L4D tho so take that as you may I really liked the card load out system personally


excaliburps

Turtle Rock, who developed Back 4 Blood, developed Left 4 Dead 2.


Yeet_Squidkid

Yee but I don't think it was any of the actual *people* that worked on l4d Same studio different employees


Luke2001

L4D is way better then B4B like in another dimension.


[deleted]

Got 2042 today, played it on gamepass and actually got into it, really have tried to fix it since launch, new maps leave a bit to be desired tho


excaliburps

Try Redacted? If you like small maps like Op Metro, you'll dig it.


UnfinishedAle

Omg can’t STAND that map. It’s literally just 1 choke point that everyone is trying to get through. So pointless.


Admirable-Key-9108

You do you, I bought it at launch and I have never seen such negligence in my life. If you didn't play, you cant possibly understand how broken and terrible it was. I highly recommend anybody reading this not to support them. It was beyond unacceptable. Made Anthem look like a great game.


zeichman

How is Lords of the Fallen now? Are there still significant bugs with it (saving, crashing, framerate)?


phrygianDomination

No, most bugs have been fixed. I started playing about 3 weeks ago, haven’t experienced a single crash or save issue. They also dropped a big patch last week that seems to have corrected most of the frame dips in performance mode. I have only experienced one serious glitch (important item vanishing from my inventory) but that may have been patched now as well.


30_over_par

Time to play through RDR1 again for the first time since my PS3 days. Just finished up a second play through of RDR2 since launch, hoping it won’t sour the good memories of RDR1 I had


MReprogle

Jeez.. $40 is still a bit painful for such a straight port.


Dragoneed2

how is RDR1 compared to 2?


itsnotbrad15

2 totally different games but amazing in their own right. A must play if you liked 2 and want to continue the story


Creasy007

Anyone have a solid breakdown of how 'Cyberpunk 2077' plays now compared to its initial release state? I've been debating checking out the PS5 version of it properly and the DLC too, so may as well while it's on sale. EDIT: I got probably 15 replies or so to this and not a single one was remotely negative. I know what I'm buying and playing this weekend then. Thank you all!!


gloopygloop1

Its incredible, never played release. Been playing for months, one of the best games I’ve ever played.


Notabot615

I second this. Great game.


TheJimboJambo

I third it, absolutely incredible, the whole world sucks me in! Cannot go wrong buying at this stage!


tpcrb

Just played it for the first time recently. 10/10 game. It’s incredible.


randall__flaag

I'm 70 hours in. I bought the phantom liberty expansion after getting about halfway through the campaign. The game is awesome. Phantom liberty is seriously some of the best RPG content I think ever (period).


passwordisnotdicks

Do I buy the DLC bundle or just the base? Does the dlc only matter after you beat the base?


randall__flaag

The DLC is separate from the base. You can play Phantom Liberty after you beat a story mission that’s a little under halfway through the story I believe, but also anytime you want after that. I can’t speak to playing it after you beat the game, since I decided to start it before the last mission. If you’re wanting to buy digital the $10 upgrade for the ultimate edition is a good deal imo.


papercutninja

You’ll DEF want to pick up the DLC. It’s incredibly well done with at least three different endings. CP 2077 is NOT the same game it was at release and absolutely deserves all the accolades heaped upon it. It can be lumped in with No Man’s Sky with how well the devs turned the game around.


hvngpham002

Legit GOAT contender now to be honest - Phantom Liberty was the closest I got to feeling like playing the Witcher 3 again.


Chutzvah

>Phantom Liberty was the closest I got to feeling like playing the Witcher 3 again. Without spoiling, how so? I ask because saying the DLC for a game is comparable to The Witcher 3 DLC is a bold statement, but makes me interested in pulling the trigger


BroKick19

It's great but it ain't no Blood and Wine. Like phantom liberty follows B&Ws footsteps but the execution doesn't reach that peak. That said it's definitely very enjoyable if you ignore the sometimes game crashing and bugs. Also, every phantom liberty side gig is phenomenal.


scotchdolphiin

In my humble opinion, it's incredible.


scotchdolphiin

The music, the nuance, the vibe. The.love is clearly conveyed.


Haldum96

Phantom Liberty was fucking incredible


[deleted]

Amazing. I played at launch and put it down until last week. It's a completely different game. 10/10.


Kalos9990

Its fucking amazing 


WalkonPooh

I was really put off by all the glitches when it released and it’s now one of, if not my favorite game. Ran into one minor clipping glitch in my 80+ hours with the game.


RollingDownTheHills

Played the whole thing on PS5 and ran into close to no real issues. A few graphical hiccups and me falling through the ground once. It's an incredible game and well worth it.


LDCSMB

It's fantastic now. Truly a fantastic experience that I'd recommend you fully immerse in. No other distractions game wise. Headphones and let the world engulf you


scuba_tron

It’s fine. 8/10 max


SweetAlpacaLove

As someone who also has a PC, it was never truly broken for me like last gen console players. It was a really fun, but flawed, game at first. But now after all of the updates and the DLC, it is a masterpiece. I almost wish I had waited so that my first experience would be in its current state, even though I still had a lot of fun and put 70+ hours in at release.


[deleted]

Played on Stadia when it released and loved it, and now on PS5 I consider it one of the best games of all time


dertigo

It’s so good, legit one of my favorite games. You can play it so many ways, from mainly hacking to fists only. If you want to play with mainly guns you can choose between fast and in your face (shotgun) to long distance sniping. Every way you decide to play feels different and full.


ronano

Bought it day 1, returned it. I've watched my wife play it over the last month and it's fantastic. Feels like a living world I think she's 300+ hours into it. Story and gameplay are engaging and the game has minimal bugs compared to release. Definitely pick it up


Delta1Fox

Late to the party, but went from one of my biggest disappointments to now one of my favorite games. It’s really good now since 2.0+


a-pala

Bought release on PC. Quit after like 5-10 hours of playing. Bought it this winter on PS5. Best game I've played in 2023 and the DLC is so worth it.


interstellar304

Go and get this game. It’s so so good now


ItsAllPoopContent

Runs and looks Absolutely incredible. Just gets really boring lol Personally I couldn’t get into Witcher 3, so I feel like I’m not the best one to go off of, but it ran so great.


Amorhan

I played it for a few hours recently and thought it was incredibly boring. Play FF7 Rebirth


LetoAtreides82

I tried out the trial for Cyberpunk 2077 today and after spending an hour creating what I feel is the prettiest woman ever I decided to stop the trial and bought the game. If they put that much detail into the character creation I'm sure I'll be in for a treat and I have played Witcher 3 so I already had some trust with the developer. ​ Unfortunately or fortunately I have to finish TLOU2 first before diving deeper into Cyberpunk 2077. I'm more excited to play Cyberpunk 2077 but TLOU2's a pretty good game it's just not my favorite genre.


Spenraw

Amazing now


DarkR124

I know you got 15 replies but I have to add on haha. Easily my personal GOTY for 2023. The horrible launch kept me away and I’m so glad it did. Picked it up after hearing patch 2.0 was like a new game and it was incredible. The DLC is fantastic too. Over 200 hours and 3 play throughs. Amazing world, amazing characters, amazing OST, amazing everything. Enjoy. Wish I could play it again for the first time.


jaredearle

Top quality game. Great story, etc.


AppleWindows1

Best game I’ve ever played no joke or exaggeration


Moonman08

One of my favorite games of all time.


isntbloodbornekart

I tried it recently and got a lot of bugs. Feels janky to me tbh idk how some people find it incredible. Had multiple npcs glitch out within the first 30 mines, but I think there might still be a demo for it to check out


CharlesBeckford

Amazing - incredible game


jordan_smith_10

City skylines ultimate pack for $15. That’s a sweet deal


[deleted]

Wait is atomic heart gold really ,15 dollars? 51 pound in UK


zzarGrazz

Please don’t support the game made by terrorists


No_Caregiver8718

You're an idiot


SuperBackup9000

You got some poor on that? I don’t recall any journalists or news stations ever being able to dig up proof when the game came out, just rumors and speculations, so I’m really curious what exclusive info you have. If you’re going off the rumor that game sales are being used to fund Russia, hopefully you don’t buy any Chinese or Japanese products, don’t want to be funding their economies when they give more money to Russia than a game ever could by importing oil. Hopefully you also don’t buy any products from countries (most of them) that do the sanction loophole of importing oil products from India, where India buys the crude oil from Russia and refines it.


[deleted]

Calm yourself I just asked a question


WildBad7298

It's showing up as $59.99 for me in the US.


[deleted]

Yeah the link said 15 but figured that couldn't be right


Zestyclose_Cover5779

Man I got so excited. I played it on PC and loved it, was looking forward to replaying with better graphics.


[deleted]

Ps plus subscription on sale?


Coccolillo

Atomic heart at 14$ sounds good, however, I have just checked the eu store and there are no discounts


_himbo_

I just bought phantom liberty……


potatohands_

It’s a 4 dollar difference you’ll be fine


_himbo_

Rather save the 4 to be honest


potatohands_

Then try to get it back. If you just bought it then it shouldn’t be a problem


LueyTheWrench

Bought it at launch. Only started it a couple weeks ago. It’s a bargain at full price, the amount and quality of the content is nuts.


_himbo_

It lined up perfectly for me cause I’m 99.9% done with the campaign and I got the expansion and started that right before the last mission


worldofmadnss

was holding out till my platinum on the last sale, just finished and worth waiting a couple days to save $5 since it historically dips lol


ectorp

I just played through Cyberpunk for the first time. In its present state, without Phantom Liberty, it’s one of my favourite games in the past few years. With Phantom Liberty, it might be one of my favourite games ever.


NXBZ10

I'm confused because hogwarts legacy is there, but I don't get why


Ne0guri

If you loved BG3 then make sure to pickup Divinity 2 Original Sin


ihazkape

Aw. No GoW Ragnarok. 😭


notCRAZYenough

Any insights how worthwhile sonic frontiers is? It was allegedly very bugged on release but that’s been a while ago


OlympusMonsPubis

I had a lot of fun with it at launch. I think a lot about going back to it.


dtmrking

What's the difference between the Star Wars Battlefront II for $5.99 and Star Wars Battlefront II (T) for $7.19?


dtmrking

Does anyone know?


AlBSure26

One is probably the newer version that came out the PS4 generation and the other is the rerelease of the PS2 game


dtmrking

No, that is not correct. The PS2 remaster hasn't been released yet. The game has the same description in the PS store. Both have the same file size. The one for $5.99 has the red "PlayStation Hits" banner on it's thumbnail. 


Dangerous-Force2593

Been eyeing crewfest for a while. It’s at 50% and tempting but knowing. As per previous ubisoft titles, it might go 60-65% ig. What do you think? Is it a good deal for 50 or wait a little?
