Re: Sony Boss Says 'PCs Are Difficult to Set Up', Firm Will Focus on PS5

@Mikey856 The amount of Steam Decks sold is actually pretty good when you consider the fact that it's only sold on the Steam store, it's reach is pretty limited, and that it's Valve and not a corporation trying to sell a load of consoles like the big three console manufacturers. Also, it's a portal to the Steam store itself.

That being said, I can imagine why you didn't like the handheld, and that's understandable. It's not really for me either, and it's not really as console-user friendly as some people make it out to be, at least when considering PC settings (I don't own a Steam Deck, so I could be wrong there).
I think that it's still a cool device, and I do think that it's a great product for many, but yeah, its reach is niche, and I'm not to interested in getting one, at least for now.

Re: Minecraft's Weird Live Action Movie Is Going to Be Massive, Isn't It?

@riceNpea Alright, I'll be the devil's advocate.

Inside Out 2 was pretty good, people kinda slept on Guardians 3, Alien and Planet of the Apes were received very well, and Searchlight Pictures are releasing bangers as per usual.

I know Disney had a pretty bad 2023, but people are getting way too comfortable with acting like they've gone downhill forever and ever. If any, I'd argue that Warner Bros Discovery is worse. At least Disney doesn't tax cut half of their film and television output.

Oh, and guess who distributed this film!

Re: The Order: 1886 Dev Ready at Dawn to Close After VR Stint

Dammit Meta...you had to shut down the Lone Echo/Echo Arena developer? You shut down Echo Arena, say it's because you want Ready at Dawn to focus on one title, then you discontinue them when there's a lack of titles releasing on Quest headsets...

Also, Ready at Dawn made The Order 1886?

Re: PSVR2 Sales Explode After Sony's Deep Price Cut, Up More than 2000%

I'm replying to @GamingFan4Lyf for this, but this goes for anyone with even the slightest bit of interest in virtual reality.

If you ever do want to try out a VR headset (not necessarily PSVR2, but could also be a Quest), while I do praise games like Boneworks, Pavlov, or Blade and Sorcery, I strongly recommend you to not have those be your first games in VR, as those games are best for experienced VR players who are able to combat motion sickness.

I instead recommend you to ease yourself in with less nauseating VR games, like for instance, Superhot VR, We Are One, I Expect You To Die, Job Simulator, or Moss. Those VR games are much lighter on beginners as they have you stationary or teleporting, rather than giving you the ability to move with the control stick.

Beyond that, for more intense VR games, you can enable vignette settings to prevent motion sickness if you still have some, notably with ambitious yet cautious games like Half Life Alyx and Assassin's Creed Nexus.

And as previously mentioned by Mortal, you can also try out VR arcades or arcades with virtual reality systems to test out what VR games you may be interested in, or what intensity you can handle.

And even if you're not into VR in the way it currently is, that's perfectly fine. VR is still a growing platform adapting and growing every day, and it's never too early or too late to jump in or jump back in.
