@Grieva-SeeD- trick question... the right answer is switch axe.

@Boerewors I love that song. One of my all time faves.

So are these Ps2 releases or remasters?
And don't start this madness again @get2sammyb; 1 is the worst. You know it, I know it...

@FATPC literally what I came to post. Bugger all stock available anywhere, unless you want to pay double the price! Sort it out, chaps.

@JoeBlogs you're my hero.

You'd think they'd be more tactful considering their willy-waving and hubris landed them in this distant second place. The OXO isn't even out yet, and he's already counting his chickens... some people clearly never learn, and the arrogance/testosterone/posing they so regularly display are some of the characteristics that really turns me off MS.

@Ralizah the Brookehaven Experiment is well good. And affordable. Get involved.

That part where it zooms in on her face and she says "with pleasure"... that looked like Psone FMV. And I love this franchise. I'm hoping this was something that was quickly cobbled together considering someone dropped a b*llock earlier.

Doom sequel. Yes please, Bob.

Literally just finished Horizon on this sunny saturday afternoon. Deliberating on whether to dive into Persona or wrap up some other loose ends first. The Last Guardian has sat unfinished since Christmas

@get2sammyb yeah, we'll agree to disagree. It is nice though that we can have a friendly banter without things getting messy, even if we do disagree. People are way too quick to go for the jugular these days.

@get2sammyb what?!?!?! Jak 2 is heaps better than the first one! Thems fighting words, Barker!

@FullbringIchigo Happy memories! I still have my Dreamcast. It works a dream, and the games are still great. I replayed Code Veronica twice last year on both the DC and PS Now, and naysayers be damned, I still think its holds up. Asides from Steve. Steve is a little whiney b*tch.

I love this game. It doesn't get as much praise as it's siblings, but to me it's one of the greats that always reminds me of getting my Dreamcast. I'm looking forward to going back!

@irken004 nailed it

Wasn't Night in the Woods delayed by a week? Did I dream this?

11 days off!

July 11

If we're going to talk about dissapointment in products being "half-assed", I can confirm that I'm far happier with my Pro purchase than I was with Ori and the Blind Forest: Definitive Edition...

@Darkpoet67 I'm with you. I used to love me a good horror game back in the day, but by the time I get home from work these days, the last thing I want to do is play a heightened terror simulator. Alien Isolation took me months to finish, because whilst it may be brown trousers time, getting scared and stressed to this extent is hardly fun.

I'll probably give it a go at some point, but I'm certainly not running out the door to pay for that experience of being perpetually terrified...

@Lurker cheers pal! In some ways I actually prefer Ligotti to HP. Sometimes the contemporary settings can make it a bit more relevant and unsettling. But yeah, huge fan!

As a mahoosive fan of writings from Lovecraft, Poe and Thomas Ligotti, this has me salivating uncontrollably...

@Mega-Gazz I see what you mean, but I'm getting more of a Tomb Raider/Witcher vibe personally. I'm not expecting deep RPG mechanics mind, as long as it plays as good as it looks I'll be a happy camper

Easily in my top 3 for the year. I was super excited pre launch and I was still surprised. Here's hoping for more soon!

So for NG+ can I just start afresh from the main menu? I ask because I finished the main storyline last night and went back to the field already to do hunter quests; can still take advantage of NG+ in this instance?

I'm still waiting in the hope that either World of Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest Builders makes it into the sales. Fingers crossed.

I still don't understand how Dead Rising is still going. I've played through numerous versions and sequels which range from mediocre to total garbage.

@Pink_Floyd the price itself is on the PSN store. I think it's about £13?

Edit: it's £11.99. Bargain.

@viciousarcanum yeah, I can't find it either.

It's £21.99 on my screen, @shogunrok. Maybe the site hadn't updated at the time of posting?

Worth a punt then, @get2sammyb? I was tempted but unsure on whether it would be poor.

Noo-noo. That's what my mum always called the wonderous vagina... take note, Sammy.

Any word on a release window? I was looking forward to snagging this around launch, but retailers aren't putting any dates to it.

Went back into it post patch; heaps better. Far more enjoyable and fun. I'd be lucky if I managed to get halfway through a short/easy campaign on solo, and I damn near reached the volcano tonight on my first go.

I thought it was pretty telling it was too hard based on the trophy unlocks, which were ridiculously low percentages almost across the board.

I had zero sickness or dizziness issues on day one, but since the I've had quite a few occasions where it's made me feel proper ill. I think playing it when I'm tired is a no-go for me. Either that or I'll persevere and grow some kind of vomit tolerance.

I'm in a bit of a lull with mine. I've finished Thumper, Batman, Until Dawn, Rez and Job Simulator, and whilst I kinda dig Battlezone it's insanely hard. I'm thinking of forking out for Wayward Skies; any of you chaps played that one?

I cancelled my pre-order last night and I'm regretting it already. Not because of lack of enthusiasm, but purely because both World of Final Fantasy and Skyrim come out on the same day as well... a definite first world problem, but vexing nonetheless...

@thedevilsjester Cat Crap works great. If it wasn't for the fact that Carmack advocated it, it probably would have passed me by.

@GAMINGLORY that sounds like Rick Grimes agreeing with his son.

@Neolit no troubles, bubbles!

The only issue I've had so far is fogging/misting on the lenses. So I bought some "Cat Crap" anti-fog gel after reading that John Carmack had recommended it a while ago. It's amazing stuff.

I've got a heap of launch titles, but I've easily spent the most time with this. Absolutely fantastic, and when getting into "the zone" with VR it's borderline hypnotic. Get a good pair of earphones and it's a mind bending assault. Love it.

@Grish78 I totally agree with your final comment. At 12pm when I started everything was gravy, but by 9pm I was struggling a bit with eye fatigue and feeling a bit flat. Like being at sea, I reckon the more I use it the easier it'll be. Here's to growing my "VR legs"!

@Furtin they are literally the two games I've been playing the most all day! I haven't even touched Battlezone or Batman yet. Thumper is an absolutely blinder.

@Grish78 what's Eve Valkyrie like? I played the demo which is criminally short and was really impressed, but I haven't found a single review online.

It's amazing. I've been playing various bits and bobs all day as I'm spoiled for choice, but zero tech issues and tons of fun to be had. Thumper in VR is hypnotically terrifying; I absolutely love it!

@thedevilsjester with zero snark attached, if nothing in the line up appeals to you why are you buying a PSVR?

Too much excite; SUPER HYPE!

@wiiware I've been watching for that as well. I gave up waiting and just pre-ordered it. It's Rez; how bad can it be?

@Galvatron "I have no doubt PSVR, as a first on mainstream consoles, will be fiddly and have embryonic issues such as the cabling, stutters etc - but if it's evident there is much joy in the immersion factor, why feel the need to trample on it?"

This. I tend to give new tech a bit of leeway at launch and was happy to do so in this instance, but I took absolutely no positives from his review, as any that were mentioned were small and largely overwhelmed by the negative tone.

And cheers for commenting @get2sammyb, you've reassured me that there's definitely some positives there to enjoy. I'll just make sure my expectations are suitably managed.
