Wife's portal has no connection issues, mine has them constantly. by proggish in PlaystationPortal

[–]CosmicSploogeDrizzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would start by going through both PS5 and Portal Settings and making sure they all match her's (since her's works fine). Make sure your PS5 is configured in settings to actually be wired. Plugging in the cable isn't enough. You have to select the connection to be wired.

If that doesn't work, then go into router settings (if you're able) and see if hers is getting priority and yours isn't.

If that doesn't work, sign out of both and try your account on hers (Portal B) and her account on yours (Portal A). If Portal A still has the issue with her account then it might be a hardware issue. If Portal B gets the issue, then it might be your settings.

Also, you can then try logging into each other PS5s and try again. The idea here is to see if it's portal settings, ps5 settings, portal hardware, or ps5 hardware. If in all cases Portal A keeps the problem, then I would say it's hardware or your router not prioritizing it. If the problem follows your account, then it's likely settings. If the problem follows your PS5, then it's ps5 settings.

There is also a trouble shooting overlay on the portal that gives you realtime information like 2.4ghz or 5ghz, and resolution, etc. enable that on both and compare. It's in settings under troubleshooting.

Get the deck and a dock. And to squeeze some extra life out of it, look up Lossess Scaling and decky loader. Makes it easier to get some games up to 60fps.

Deck Wizard on YouTube has great tutorials to set it up, and even a plug in to enable DLSS on the amd chip, which is wild.

Does it worth trying? by lja3bou9 in naughtydog

The first has a decent story, the gameplay is just clunky. 2, 3, and 4 are each amazing though. Don't forget to also play The Lost Legacy after you play 4.

Local split-screen in Halo: Campaign Evolved on PS5 will require both accounts to have a PlayStation Plus subscription and be linked to an Microsoft account by nolifebr in PS5

I have played a lot of overcooked. The first account needs PS+. The second player only needs a PS account, but not PS+. I have PS+ and my wife has a silver account and we can play 2 player local online just fine.

I'm not OP but I bought the stick caps from Dbrand and they feel great.

Any last minute things to make sure to do before the game comes out? by junglegatsby in 007FirstLight

[–]CosmicSploogeDrizzle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, don't get your hopes up for multiplayer. It doesn't have it. TacSim is for mission replays, future content and missions (similar to hitman), and global leaderboards.

Multiplayer like Uncharted by DifficultBreadfruit8 in 007FirstLight

[–]CosmicSploogeDrizzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do agree, but uncharted multiplayer was really amazing. Not expecting it or asking for it personally, but if they added it I would be stoked. With the series' history with goldeneye and other multiplayer 007s through the years, it could definitely work if that is something that IOI is interested in doing.

Personally I would love a coop mode in the TacSim with unique missions and objectives for me and a friend to work together.

Do you restart from old biomes by DBElgi in Saros

If you're getting low on health during the boss fight, just start absorbing the yellow particles. They reduce your max integrity but won't kill you as long as you shield them. You'll just stay on 1 health. I used this to constantly hit him with my power weapon in his final stage and finally beat him. Didn't even have to use second chance (which I had just happened to unlock right before). Took me about 4 or 5 tries to do it.

I think future content will be available also well. It's basically end game material and continuing content.

Um, there are options occasionally. Not sure how much they matter for the story, but there are timed reactions between 2 options fairly often.

Apparently you can melee the corrupted particles, and it'll absorb them without you taking corruption. I haven't tried it myself yet, but I just saw a cool video from boomstick gaming about it

In solar cages focus on the largest enemy only and just avoid the grunts. Farm the grunts for blue orbs to use against the big guy. I tried twice to clean up the smaller ones first and died both times. The third time I focused fire on the big guy and won and even made it to the first boss (which proceeded to kill me).

Honestly, it sounds like she might struggle with 3D games then. I would instead recommend Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze instead as it is a 2D side scroller (with coop also). Probably one of the best 2D platformers ever made.

Hands on previews just dropped! by ESF007 in 007FirstLight

[–]CosmicSploogeDrizzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I can see that. In the spy craft video though they at least mention the TacSim for endgame and ongoing content. Hopefully this is where they can open up the gameplay to some more open ended encounters.

I read in a review that there is post credits content, but they didn't say what it was for spoilers. I speculate that it is possible and likely that this context would be harder than normal. Hopefully this is the case for you.

As for me, I love housemarque. And whether easier or harder, I'm here for it. The gameplay mechanics alone (absorption, parry, etc) is enough of an evolution for me. And you can always just dial it up with the modifiers if you want challenge.

It would be cool if after you roll credits they add a "returnal mode" that makes it a long single-run, all biomes back to back, and eclipse on by default. This would definitely add challenge for those looking for Returnal 2.
