Final Fantasy XIV PS5 Beta Upgrade

Final Fantasy 14 open Beta for PS5 began on April 13, 2021 and after more than 20 hours of gameplay, in duty finder, dungeons and building a character playing through Stormblood expansion at level 65, it is definitely worth it to upgrade to the PS5 version. ff14 beta duty finder As they said, you can upgrade from the PS4 version to the PS5 version simply with the download at no extra cost.

Downloading the PS5 Version

It always amazing me at how much fast my PS5 is to my PS4. I would sit there for hours waiting for the download to be complete. The Full PS5 game download took only 15 minutes from start to finish. Upgrade Tip: Setup your One-Time Password software in case you need to reset your password.

PS5 Version of Final Fantasy 14

Couple of the things to notice to about the PS5 Version I got off the back:
  • Noticed no glitches in the gameplay of this version. After playing Duty Finder Dungeons have not glitched in the 20 hours of gameplay and their is noticeable a time frame where you wait versus friends on the PS4 System.
  • Game Controller settings modification in settings is also geared toward your PS5 Device.
  • Display settings are modified for a high level gameplay on a 65 inch screen.

PS5 Gameplay with the PS4 Version of Final Fantasy 14

Playing FF14 on the PS4 version the last few month’s have had plenty of issues with the PS5. PS5 faster game speed matched with its drive to load the game queries lead to some noticeable issues in Duty Finder or while playing playing a mission and the game speed locks me out of where everyone else is. final fantasy xiv endwalker

FINAL FANTASY XIV ENDWALKER

Don’t forget to stay tuned to updates for the FINAL FANTASY XIV ENDWALKER expansion coming this fall. FINAL FANTASY XIV ENDWALKER will most likely include the other expansion packs (HEAVENSWARD, STORMBLOOD & SHADOWBRINGERS) if you are a first time player. Monthly Subscriptions will still be required to play ff14 on PS5 like all other versions or platforms.

Besides the fact that Bows do not give away your position, they are the only long distant weapons. Also, I have seen hit volumes with this bow at 187, which is the shield and your health left with 13 points. Meaning this is a one hit kill weapon.

Shockwave Bow Effect

The effect of the bow is that it hit the area with a shock wave blowing a person away (up if hit from below.) This leaves the person disoriented and not able to recover in the air.

How to Beat the Tinkerer in Spider-Man Miles Morales (Final Battle in Story)

To defeat the Tinkerer, you will first get a chance to battle The Tinkerer with your regular fighting abilities. The Tinkerer doesn’t put up a main fight in the first bout. In the second bout, the Tinkerer breaks out a tougher battle, with a canon that can reduce your health points significantly if not avoided. Finally in the third bout with the Tinkerer, you face a tough battle with a turret, missiles, canon shots and mines that while seems easy will leave you replaying the battle if you do not know what is coming. spiderman how to defeat the tinkerer ps5 strategy tips

Attacking Strategy on Hard to beat the Tinkerer

How to Beat the Tinkerer may require a few tries and may drive you to look up this answer on Console Game Stuff. It comes down to 5 main attacks and moves to defeat the Tinkerer. The Third bout against the Tinkerer, is the hardest and a reason for this strategy guide. Here is everything you need to know.

Perfect Dodge from Missiles

In the the 3rd bout, the Tinkerer will launch mines, a turret and missiles all in the same motion. Perfect Dodging the missiles, a blast canon, an electric chain that binds you while avoiding the mines will be key to avoiding significant lost of health.

Destroying the Power Turret While Dodging incoming Missiles

Once the Turret is Activated, The Tinkerer will always shoot missiles at you. Make sure you are far enough to dodge or throw the turret at the Tinkerer to stun them. Once stunned, that’s the best time to attack

Holo Drone and Remote Mine Will Also Stun The Tinkerer

Using holo drone or remote mine can help stun the Tinkerer as well. However, in most cases you will sacrifice health with a hit to get off the remote mine.

Once Stunned Use Venom Punch, Venom Smash or Venom Dash on The Tinkerer

Remember once stunned unleash you Venom attack. I’d use with the venom punch, venom dash or venom smash following up with volley attack to refill your venom bar. Remember, during the battle you will have to decide to use a venom attack or heal yourself. Keep track of your health bar.

Don’t Go Stealth

Once you go Stealth in the game, the Tinkerer use a scan to remove your stealth, stunning you. Not worth implementing unless you are trying to buy a second of gameplay time.   Video of How to Beat the Tinkerer in Spider-Man Miles Morales

PlayStation 5 – First Time Users and Setup

It has been months since latest edition of PlayStation has been released and only now are many actually getting their PS5 Console. With this new system there are a few things you will want to do to get setup for a long weekend of game play. ps5 game console and accessories

Transfer your PS4 Data over to your PS5

This is the easiest way to keep your PlayStation experience close to what it was with your old games (downloaded games), Files and User Setting. On average out of 10 users sampled, most say it took 11 hours to transfer all of the data completely.

Download Free Games with your PlayStation Plus

One of the perks right now once you load up your PS5 is the free PS4 games that your can download with your PlayStation Plus Account. Most notable was God of War. But that might be because the disc wouldn’t load on the PS5 from PS4. One other thing I noticed instantly was the downloads and uploads are up to 10x faster. PS4 games that took hours were complete in 10 minutes while my internet never got better. I also noticed games loaded a lot faster from Cyberpunk to Fortnite (even loading into Fornite gameplay, I was always one of the first players on a new field, which never happened on PS4). Cyberpunk and Assassins Creed both loaded into the game so much faster that if there was any reason to get it, this is it.

Best First Game for PS5

ps5 game spiderman miles morales The absolute best first game to play on the PS5 is Spider-Man Miles Morales. No glitches, issues and amazing game play. While I hope they extended the game play as a whole, it was still the game that made my PS5 better then my PS4. Spider-Man Miles Morales definitely is my replay game for PS5 and recommend as the first game you get.

Games That Are Better on PS4

While I think Cyberpunk 2077, could have been better, I was still excited to play it on my PS4 with the first updated that corrected glitches that continually shutdown the game. Unfortunately, those glitches still exist and its the end of March. Unless they decide to make a full revamp of the game similar to No Man’s Sky, where the entire gameplay changed from the loading of the game to its update. Final Fantasy 14 has a beta for PS5 coming out this April but for now is better on PS4. I have crashed way too many times in dungeons on PS5. Stay tuned for more news and posts on Console Game Stuff.

Top 5 Games to Play on Nintendo Switch Updated February 2021

There are plenty of games to play on Nintendo Switch and then there are games you actually play on Switch. Here is an update of my top 5 games to play as of February 2021. The list can always change and will hopefully later in 2021.

Animal Crossing™: New Horizons

animal crossing new horizons friend finding At #1 to play is Animal Crossing™: New Horizons. Just when I tell myself, I am done building up my island, I run right back to putting time into its production. Animal crossing is a fun all around friendly game built on building your own home away from home. Since every thing cost something, you find yourself spending hours catching fish, or collecting items to sell to pay off the house, the improvement to the island and more. animal crossing new horizons dreaming Check out more about Animal Crossing™: New Horizons at the Nintendo Switch store.

Little Nightmares II

little nightmares 2 Coming in at #2 is definitely Little Nightmares II that was just released on Feb 11, 2021. If you enjoyed being a little caught off guard with the hint of horror, this game is perfect. As you wander the game, you find yourself being pursued by body parts, headless bodies and shadows. It has that keep playing and keep moving feel to it. I recommend you try their demo if you are on the fence about whether or not to buy it. little nightmares 2 hallway Check out more about Little Nightmares II at the Nintendo Switch store.

Hades

At #3 on my list is Definitely Hades. This is the most addicting game right now to play for me. It’s set in the underworld, where you the prince of the underworld tries to escape with the help of those close and those who would see you succeed. One element of the game is death. when you die, you start over from the beginning which makes playing something you can get lost in for hours with each match different from the last. No matter what, you will want to leave the underworld. Check out more about Hades at the Nintendo Switch store.

Immortals Fenyx Rising™

At #4 on my list for best games for Nintendo Switch is Immortals Fenyx Rising™. Based with much game play similarities to Breathe of the wild, Fenyx, a demigod attempts to help the gods defeat Typhon. With much of the story and game play based on stories of the mythological world, Fenyx under takes battles with heroes of old and monsters alike. Remember to check out videos from Immortals Fenyx Rising™ boss battles on Console Game Stuff’s YouTube Channel. immortals fenyx rising defeating achilles small Check out more about Immortals Fenyx Rising™ at the Nintendo Switch store.

The Legend of Zelda™: Breath of the Wild

breath of the wild review Finally but very true at #5 is The Legend of Zelda™: Breath of the Wild (With no surprise that it still holds a spot in best sellers). I know, how many times can you play this game and still talk about it. However, after playing immortals Fenyx Rising, I find myself yearning for the original game that made the interface for open world play. Every 3 – 6 months brings you right back to the title to start over from the beginning. Don’t get me wrong, Hyrule Warriors – Age of Calamity is a good play but I think like everyone else, I am hoping the next E3 showcases updates on when they will be releasing The Legend of Zelda™: Breath of the Wild 2. Check out more about The Legend of Zelda™: Breath of the Wild at the Nintendo Switch store.
