Theres alot of gamers that can put up with poor performances bc they dont care about the tech specs, and they don't know what they're missing out on. Look at the debates online about not needing a PS5 (bc of its lack of true exclusives) or a "Switch Successor". Not to be condescending, but informed consumers are few and far between.
@Arnna Sekiro is my fav. The movement/traversal, fluid combat/parry system really made it the greatest for me. Also keep in mind hack & slash games is my fav gaming genre. Kind of brought it "closer to home" so to speak.
Im not a DS2 hater tho. Really enjoyed my time with it on PS3. My biggest knock were the enemies were kind of redundant from an artstyle standpoint.
This game was alot of fun. Its not for everyone, but it was definitely a top 10 game for me last year. I don't necessarily disagree with the mixed reviews, but the fun factor made up for its flaws for me personally.
Arigami was excellent, but its sequel was a complete miss. I was hoping they would bounce back and making something great though. I hope they find work ASAP.
CotM has grown on me alot. I personally would give an 8 as its loaded with content and shows the potential of PSVR2. However, I feel a 7 is fair bc even though I like the climbing, its a certainly polarizing element that I can see turning off alot of gamers. Also, Horizon has to be reviewed as a AAA game, which i feel has a different curve.
I bought this game bc I loved What the Golf and the humor/gameplay on that one. This game is a bit more "barebones" compared to What the Golf, but as a VR experience I think it lives up to my expectation. I had alot of fun with this game and I'm looking forward to more content.
From a consumer level, I find Linear and Open World games to be incomparable. In 2023, I find Linear games to be more refreshing as there is major oversaturation with Open World games. However, we can't overlook Open World games that are executed in fun and innovative ways.
I'm gonna have to agree with the Sense controller issues. I prefer playing Tetris with a D-PAD, but by far that is my ONLY issue and an adjustment i'm willing to make for this great game.
Team Ninja must have alot of employees. I feel like they always have something new out. Happy to see they hit the mark with this one. I will definitely check this out.
Day 1 purchase. I'm excited for this game as I think Final Fantasy is in desperate need for a refresh. Every game after FFX has had a fragmented fanbase with XII, XIII, and XV getting some things right, but overall being inconsistent.
For all the hate it gets i think XIII had a really good turn based system. I think its fine that they leave it behind bc we can get that fix elsewhere like Octopath, I Am Setsuna type games.
I had a wild experience with this game. I realized I was actually terrible at it without VR. I completed the game and all, but with low scores. With PSVR 2, I S-Ranked the entire first stage and all its levels in one try. Looking forward to playing this some more.

Re: Elden Ring Update 1.09 Adds Ray Tracing on PS5, Here Are All the Patch Notes
@Arnna I can definitely understand that. Not sure what's more daunting: Relearning Sekiro, or starting a New Game 🤣

This list is a bit overcrowded and takes away from some actual great games, but its solid nonetheless. Sifu would be my number 1.
Re: Sigh! For the Record, Sony Is Not Making a Superman PS5 Exclusive
I love SUPERMAN, but as a game, it should remain an N64 exclusive.
Re: Talking Point: Is 2024 Too Soon for PS5 Pro?

Re: Massive Ghostwire: Tokyo Update Drops After PS Plus Extra Debut

Re: Poll: Are You Playing Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty?
This is on my Amazon wish list. I'll be purchasing this when I find the time to play it. PSVR2 has been consuming all of my game time.
Re: Xbox Execs Eager to Save Call of Duty Fans from PS5, PS4 Exclusive Perks
Honestly, i'm more upset about the possibility of Crash being M$ mascot. Crash Bolts and Nuts anyone?
Re: The Last of Us Co-Creator Sparks Developer Debate As He Declares Linear Games Are Easier to Make
From a consumer level, I find Linear and Open World games to be incomparable. In 2023, I find Linear games to be more refreshing as there is major oversaturation with Open World games. However, we can't overlook Open World games that are executed in fun and innovative ways.
Re: Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy's Edge - Enhanced Edition (PSVR2) - An Inconsistent Adventure
Interesting. Alot of youtubers seem to like this game. Maybe its just brand recognition? I downloaded the demo to see for myself. We'll see.

@SoulChimera I overlooked this. Thanks!
Re: Mini Review: Tetris Effect (PSVR2) - Stunning Puzzler Now Looks Better Than Ever
I'm gonna have to agree with the Sense controller issues. I prefer playing Tetris with a D-PAD, but by far that is my ONLY issue and an adjustment i'm willing to make for this great game.
Re: Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty (PS5) - Excellent Action RPG a Must Play for Masochists

Re: Code Vein (PS4) - A Friendlier, Fashion-Conscious Japanese RPG in the Vein of Dark Souls
Played this on Gamepass a while back. I'd give it a 6/10. Its above average & serviceable. Wasn't crazy about it though.
Re: Rumour: Shin Megami Tensei 5 to Be Announced for PS5, PS4 in May, But There's No Real Evidence
I hope this is true. This game has been stuck on trash hardware for too long. I own this on Switch, but it performs abysmally on there.
