Ah, just to add. If your son bought digital DLC for Spiderman (physical disc) from the psn store then you should be able to share it.

You would need to do gamesharing (set primary ps4), and on your sons account go to his game library, navigate to spiderman and it's dlc. It'll show a list of available DLC and if it hasn't already automatically downloaded there should be a small button of the left of each entry that has been purchased. If you download and install them, then switch to your account you should be able to get all the DLC goodies as well.

Loving Astrobot rescue Mission on PSVR at the moment. Such an innovative use of VR technology and its incredible how intuitive the controls become once you get used to them. After enjoying a game like this its really hard to go back to a non VR game.

I recently managed to pickup a 1TB SSD for $100 USD incl shipping and put it in my PS4 Pro. Wow what a difference that made to game loading times etc. It's amazing.

If I see another special, I am going to upgrade my Xbox One X.

Keep an eye on Firecuda drives. I have a 2TB with hybrid SSD on board. Works a treat in my PS4 Pro.

I had one in my PS4 Pro before, decided for $130 it was worth the upgrade to the SSD and downgrade in capacity (I am only 600GB used). Loading screens in JC4 have gone from 10-15 seconds down to 2-3.

I now need to sell my Firecuda (Or I guess could stick that in my lesser used Xbox One X.

That's my plan - I saw a test somewhere which suggested the hybrid drives were actually better for PS Pro than SSD. Never mind cheaper.

I am a huge fan of the crackdown series. I got seriously excited when they announced CD3, but it seemed like it may never get here. In the meantime I had an absoloute blast playing CD1 Xbox One X remastered version.

As part of gamepass I got CD3, and I am loving it. It's different to CD1, and I am not a fan of some things, but on the whole, it's great fun. Recommended.

For anyone else playing, when you upgrade your agilty the second time, you get a Air Dash which as I understand it is LB1 is how to activate this, but I cannot make this work no matter what I do. Any one having an issue?

I see a number of outlets have given crackdown a rating that I wouldn't have expected. I don't think it's a 5/10, especially if you are a fan of the series. It's a let down in some areas, but fun factor, at least for me, is pretty high. I suspect perhaps if you hadn't tried the others in the series, you may find it subpar because you may not understand the way the game works. I'd rate it a solid 7/10. A no brainer if you have gamepass.

I saw a review on youtube that was very lacklustre. I never got into Crackdown, won't be starting now, but I know some folks who love it and are bummed out about the chatter.

I'm 75hrs into Assassin's Creed Odyssey. I think I must be nearing the end of the main quest lines, but far out what a fun game!

I have a stack of games now sitting on my desk that need to be played. Next after CD3 is Far Cry New Dawn, then depending on how the reviews for other upcoming games look like, the two newest AC games are on my list.

@gehenna Pretty sure I saw the Crackdown 1 remaster was either free or VERY cheap the other day. I do think it's worth 2 hours of your time to take a look at it.

Hmm, interesting. I really struggled with CD1, because there isn't a lot of explanation with it. I kept playing it initially because I was "out of games", it wasn't until my agility upgrade got to l2 or l3 that I got what the concept was. Jumping over buildings is a lot of fun.

I'm really enjoying Destiny 2 on the PS4 at the moment. For a casual player like myself it's a bit daunting - there's so many different things you could be doing. But I've hooked up with a clan called Dads of Destiny (Australia) who are composed mainly of similar guys to me and they've been very helpful. Slowly ticking off some of the achievements. I haven't bothered to purchase the annual pass though. I just can't see myself playing often enough to get through all the new content.

Very much looking forward to Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. I've never played a From game, but this looks great. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0FApee7XMM

Also keen on Ghost of Tsushima https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSAvzeopPC8

Once I finish ACO, probably this weekend, I really need to finish Shadow of the Tomb Raider and Resident Evil 2, too.

I've still got Shadow of the Tomb Raider and God of War sat on my shelf waiting to be played. I just don't get enough time. I've promised myself I won't buy any more games until I've completed those two.
