Turning up the difficulty to Lethal + in Ghosts made the combat a little less repetitive for me. Forced me to do a lot more dodging/counters

Forgot to post in here that i got my PS5 back from repairing my rest mode issue about 10 days ago. An inconvenience, but glad i got the issue (hopefully) fixed. Turnaround was about 3-4 weeks and it was nice to get it back before the holidays
Actually saved me because i had the 2042 $100 package preordered but got a refund when i sent my system in and wasnt gonna be able to play on launch. Still would like to get the game at some point but not paying full price lol

When going into rest mode, about 50% of the time I would get a green screen and system would shut down completely. To turn back on I had to push the physical console power button and the database would rebuild each time (same thing that happens if you were to pull the power cord out)
If youre asking about root cause…im not sure. Sony gives absolutely no info about what repair was performed or anything. But from what ive read it seems they might replace the motherboard for this issue. Seems to have been an issue on some day 1 consoles
Some deeper info below and what led to me sending mine in before warranty ran out

I had rest-mode problems on my PS4... which was why I never used it. I wonder if it's related.

I actually had the same thing on my PS4, database would rebuild. I attributed it to my Monster “green” surge protector trying to be efficient and messing with my ****. When it was happening with my PS5, i knew something was up. I dealt with it for a year and obviously you can just power down to eliminate the issue, but i enjoy the quick startup of rest mode and auto downloads etc. so glad i got it fixed. Havent really played since i got it back but im actually just assuming its fixed lol

Some quick first impressions:
Picked it up last night from BB. It was easy to setup, the process was fast and painless. I threw in COD: Vanguard (PS4) and it started downloading/installing in the background. It then asked if I want the PS5 upgrade and accepted it and it downloaded that in the background, while updating the system and controller, dope. I love how seamless it was, no loading screens, no extra menus it all happened right there. The system UI/UX is a bit of strange one. Trying to navigate from top menus to bottom icons menus is ehhhh. Guess Im just use to PS4 menus/screens for everything, PS5 just happens right infant of you. I opened the PlayStation Store thinking it would be a new screen, and nope, just pans down, fast.
Ive seen the console in person, but actually holding it and seeing it, its not all that big to me. The design is much nicer in person. The controller feels great! It felt broken in already which I love, the design is an improvement if not an evolution of DS4.
Controller, bruh, this thing is wild! Astro is ANOTHER level. This is gaming. This **** is mind blowing. I played Matrix, I was hyped, I saw all the YouTube videos, couldn't wait to play it, it was ehhhhhh. Astro > Matrix demo. Son, I felt the individual rain drops in the controller, INDIVIDUAL. HOW DO YOU DO THAT SONY. It was RAIN IN MY PALMS BRUH!!! I blew in the controller (pause)... the pinwheel spun, SON! IT SPUN. I blew lightly, it slight moved, WTF?! How does it know (I know, but just saying). That's revolutionary. No wonder why M$ is making there own dual sense controller for 270 X Series Xbox, or whatever its called now.
That's it for now, will be back with more later.

You're correct. It's a hard yes. I'll enjoy the **** out of the game until I'm about 50% through...

Multiplayer horror game tho. So one person is the killer and the other has to escape?

Stole from Twitter:
Think my PS5 will remain unplugged until Feb for HZD2. It's unplugged because it keeps turning itself on for no good reason, and yes, I disabled HDMI-CEC.
