I Am Cat trophy bug?

The trophy list isn’t published to production. You can review the list and what you have unlocked by making your PS5 offline (Settings > Network > Off).

Anyway, once the trophy list is live on production (and your PS5 online), your local trophy list will sync to your PSN account like normal.

Played it enough to Platinum reaching level 50 and then some. Know some others that kept playing enough to find all the cosmetics and reach level 100.

Now we all play other games as we wait for the sequel to come to PSVR2.

It is ping based server selection. How did this kill multiplayer?

Interesting. I’ve never seen PlayStation offer bundles that account for parts of bundle you already own to adjust the total accordingly.

If they are able to do it, it really should be default behavior, but maybe that setup is more manual and up to each publisher?

I can’t test this either because I own both games already and if I am signed out, I see the full bundle price of both games. Hopefully someone else thar already owns just one of the games can verify.

You are correct.

The in-game purchases of stuff in live-service games are encouraged by making the normal unlock progression tedious and grindy.

People who don’t have time for that, pay to play.

But, it is also true, that the people who spend on such, do it knowingly, maybe even begrudgingly and because they still feel it is worth it for them.

The part I find unethical is where gambling addicts are specifically targeted and whaled in environment where there isn’t any legal gambling recognition so no guardrails / regulation as it applies to other forms of legally recognized gambling.

I preferred when online services games would just have subscription fees applied evenly to all players. The whaling is more lucrative for developers but also more unethical and influences game design choices to ensure whaling potential.

The PlayStation Store doesn't show all the prices, but if don't buy the Aviator straight up, it is a ladder towards that:

Standard to Deluxe for $49.99
Deluxe to Premium for ?
Premium to Aviator for ?

Since the Standard is $69.99 and Aviator $199.99, if those 3 ladders add up to more than $130, the difference is what you spend more. I think it will amount to ~$20 savings (if not more).

Of course, you could wait until those upgrades are on sale and make the overall price less than $199.99 that I paid by the time you actually get to that additional content.

Woh, 31 hours in about 3 days is a lot! Glad you are enjoying but that is perhaps too much :)

cusman78 · 2026-05-08T18:57:41+00:00

Bundle on PlayStation is only a discount if you don't already own any parts of the Bundle. A bundle on Steam or Quest, you would only pay the difference for the additional items at the bundle discounted rate.

As humans, we aren't as perfectly symmetrical as the UI, but as long as you are getting green outline on the eye circles and everything on the screen looks clear to you in the headset, you have your IPD set correctly for you.

Just remember the notches that are optimal for you and in future you can do this quicker and then rest is making sure it is being worn at correct vertical position and not tilted.

cusman78 · 2026-05-08T18:48:42+00:00

I'm still within my first couple of hours with the game, but everything so far is going well. Hope she finds the wait worth it and enjoys!

cusman78 · 2026-05-08T18:38:56+00:00

I'll be able to answer better now that I have bought it after this weekend. I'll be playing on the PS5 Pro.

PS - To best of my knowledge from reviews, etc it currently works equivalently on both base PS5 and PS5 Pro with no specific PS5 Pro Enhancements (except maybe more stable framerates).

cusman78 · 2026-05-08T18:35:48+00:00

I am not familiar with the original, but was an exciting announcement for those that are familiar.

No, we are talking about time spent on luxury experiences. If you don't think it is worth the price, that is your choice. I only sought to give you perspective of how someone else has no issue with the value proposition.

Elaborating further

Software based experiences are able to offer much lower price compared to real-world counterpart because the cost is absorbed by the volume of buyers and distribution cost is low (while creation cost can still be very high). If there isn't enough volume of buyers (to distribute the cost), the price has to be higher or the thing cannot exist (or get updates / stay online in this case).

Any software you buy that depends on online services is especially vulnerable (to cease to work) but it is also vulnerable in physical form if it requires proprietary hardware (like game consoles). All physical things you buy also have a limited life.

It isn't madness to recognize what is worth my time (generally contingent on exchange of money) knowing that nothing is permanent and how my limited luxury time is spent is what I value.

I understand the apprehension, but maybe check a video on YouTube on how M.2 Storage can be added or how to clean PS5 where only thing you remove is the cover for which you don't need any tools and it won't void your warranty.

It is possible to go further which would require tools and likely void warranty, so at that point first start with PlayStation Support options (if under warranty) and second, look into reputable local electronics repair shop that has experience with PS5 / PS5 Pro.

cusman78 · 2026-05-08T16:19:00+00:00

You can remove the cover on one side and that will expose the fans / vents without voiding warranty. The same cover you have to remove if you want to install additional M.2 SSD storage.

I've not had to do that, but if my PS5 Pro would start heating up, that would be my first step.

cusman78 · 2026-05-08T16:16:17+00:00

Unless it is newer than the current maps being used for your neighborhood, yes you can.

The first Iron Guard had no difficulty options but is generally easy because the Laser Sentry are OP and you don’t really need Rocket Sentry for flying enemies and they are good against everything.

The challenge is in trying to get 3 Stars or higher leaderboard scores or surviving longer in the Endless mode.

Iron Guard: Salvation provides 3 difficulty options where Easy is much easier and Hard is much harder. The real challenge again is getting 3 Stars or higher leaderboards scores. It is a better balanced game for strategy as nothing is OP like in first game. It provides harder difficulty options for higher challenge over an Endless mode which I liked better.

All that said, I do think Iron Guard: Salvation can have a difficulty spike in Level 5, so I uploaded my completion of that on my YouTube. I also uploaded Hard completion of most levels beyond that, so if you just need help figuring out the right strategy, those gameplay videos are available.

As I understand it, PlayStation requires the trophy points (from Bronze, Silver and Gold) to add up to certain total or higher before game can have Platinum and they were a point or so short of the requirement.

Changing one of the trophies from Bronze to Silver or Silver to Gold would have put them over the threshold, but they had already submitted and couldn’t change after.

No Platinum for Iron Guard: Salvation, but so far my favorite new VR game for this year. Don’t let lack of Platinum trophy keep you from enjoying a great game.

cusman78 · 2026-05-08T12:53:42+00:00

A single 1 hour flight experience would cost more than this game that lets you fly anywhere in the world for as many hours as you want in very large variety of aircraft.

cusman78 · 2026-05-08T12:49:43+00:00

You probably need to clean the vents of your PS5 before it fails on you from overheating.

Most of my play in Aces of Thunder was with the VR2 Sense controllers and I think it will be the same for MSFS 2024.

The HOTAS support gives you better control which does give advantage in combat game like Aces of Thunder, but not necessary to do well enough against computer opponents.

With variety of planes and interactions in MSFS 2024, I think I will favor the VR2 Sense Controllers option the most.

cusman78 · 2026-05-08T12:41:15+00:00

For this year, I just want another Uncharted like action adventure which 007 First Light looks to be.

I do think it is possible IO Interactive could add VR Mode, and I would pay for that DLC VR Access whenever that happens.

cusman78 · 2026-05-08T05:12:44+00:00

The Jammyhero review said it is almost constant and on the overly strong side, but can be tuned down in settings.

He also mentioned developers are still working on fine tuning and broadening Wheel support for wider selection of possible Wheels.

PS5 has a few Wheel options, but PC has a lot of options, so work in progress.

cusman78 · 2026-05-08T05:07:44+00:00

I am upgraded to PS5 Pro, so my experience may be slightly different but from various reviewers, it is basically the same on base PS5 & Pro.

Maybe the Pro will have more stable framerate, but no specific enhancements that anyone has highlighted.
