I purchased the Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War PS4 Disc to Digital PS5 Upgrade and lost the ability to use that upgrade when my PS Plus ran out because I had redeemed the game when it came to PS Plus. Sony refuses to acknowledged this error and it's genuinely pissing me off because it's not just me that has this issue about disc to digital upgrades. I've contacted support and they told me I have a different version of the game and to buy it again??? Excuse me but if their solution is to buy it they are literally just taking my money without providing anything. I waited over a month btw to get that "solution". Absolutely discussing the a company of this size cannot and will not offer a solution. TLDR; I lost my PS4 Disc to PS5 Digital upgrade license for Cold War when I redeemed on PS Plus.
EDIT: to clarify again I purchased the upgrade and played before ever redeeming the ps plus version. Ps plus expired and I noticed that my paid for upgrade is gone.
I have an unused code for God of War Ragnarok from when I bought my PS5. I already had the game in my account, so I have never used this.
Easy entry. Just post here. (Reddit account must be 30 days old.)
But feel free to tell a joke, or a nice story as well.
This is a US only code.
Good luck everyone!
Now, take this list with a grain of salt. Some can barely be considered city builders, but they're close.
Endzone
Northgard
Kingdoms and Castles
Frostpunk
Urbek City Builder
Planetbase
Airborne Kingdom
Before We Leave
Surviving the Aftermath
Let's Build A Zoo
Islanders
Megaquarium
Surviving Mars
Cities: Skylines
Dawn of Man
Aven Colony
Jurassic World
These are all I've completed or tried so far. Are there any others you would recommend?
[edit] PS5 ONLY, please. I posted to the PS5 subreddit for a reason!
Im looking for more hack and slash games, I recently got into them and im enjoying them a lot. I've played all 3 darksiders games, as well as nier replicant and automata. Are there any games similar to those? thanks!
Hi all, I'm in search of some games that have elements of exploration, base-building, and potentially survival such as resource gathering/management, upgrading buildings/settlements, growing food, economy/trading, politics etc. Even if that is not the focus of the game, as long as it is or can be a significant part then I would love to hear your suggestions.
Some different examples of what could work are games that are mostly exploration like No Man's Sky, games with more action and/or story like State of Decay 2 and Manor Lords (both Microsoft exclusives), or even some city-builders like Frostpunk. It does not even have to be a "base" per-se as long as it is some hub you improve with resources over time (e.g. Monteriggioni of AC2 or the RoR of Hogwarts Legacy but more extensive).
Must be playable in 3rd person (so no Subnautica, The Forest, 7 Days to Die, etc, though in theory those would also be good examples of what I'm looking for).
Thanks!
I've been a little disappointed in the lack of special editions almost 4 years into the console's life cycle,
I'm really hoping Insomniac's Wolverine gets a dedicated controller design, a black and yellow design with fake scratch marks from the claws and maybe an X wrapping around the centre could look amazing. what games do you want to get unique designs?
As Microsoft's biggest release on PS5, and a game that still attracts well over 1,000,000 unique players per month, Sea of Thieves is likely to be a huge hit on PS5. New 'season' launches tomorrow too, which sees the biggest change in gameplay for 6 years.
So, who is playing it?
If you aren't, why not?
Hi Team!
My girlfriend lives in a different city, and we really enjoy playing games to help bridge the distance between us! We’re currently looking for a 1v1 shooter game that we can play online. Do you know if such a game exists? If so, what do you recommend?
Thanks!
I only have PS+ essentials and got the game from the PS+ collection. I went to the game in my library and there was a drop down that said “game”, I switched it and it said to add to library, I did that, downloaded and it now says I’m downloading the PS5 update. Hope this helps.
Just wondering what you guys play after a long day, whether it’s after work, studying or taking care of the family. As adults where we have lots of responsibility, we shouldn’t stop doing the things we love which includes playing games, we just have to make time for it.
I (M30) am at the moment playing Spiderman 2, this is my current story game, I’m loving it but it requires a lot of my attention and focus, so I want to have appropriate time to play it.
For days such as today (commenting from Aus at 1:30am) where I had just a bit of time to play, I chuck on Fortnite. It’s a game where I don’t have to use too much of my brain and just aimlessly play, it gets me through the short time before bed where I just want to ease my mind. I’m not afraid to admit I play this as an adult (as it is perceived by some as a kids game), I actually have a lot of fun.
Are you playing any story games right now? Do you have time for it? And what games do you play just to wind down if it isn’t the story game?
You have Star Wars Outlaws. There will no doubt be a deeper dive into this gameplay elements and story. What makes this game stand out is that its Star Wars and draws in a demographic that perhaps normally would buy AC games and/or pay attention to summer game events. It is also releasing about 2 months after the event.
AC Red. The main breadwinner for Ubisoft is seeing their first mainline game since 2020 and this time also featuring an updated engine. It will also not be held back by old gen consoles. There is said to be more stealth elements and it takes place in Japan, a setting that has been highly asked for by the AC community. This is also coming later this fall.
Finally you have the Splinter Cell remake. Most likely a 2025 game, it is still one of the most anticipated games and will no doubt draw many viewers.
I cannot think of a Ubisoft Forward event that has had so much heavy hitters.
Also aside from the Nintendo summer show which will likely reveale the Switch 2, I cant think of any other summer show that will be as highly anticipated. You have PlayStation but they do not have any major exclusives coming this year so everything shown will be 2025 games. Same with Xbox.
