@ztpayne7 I would get an exchange and try again. I completely understand your disappointment but I don’t think you’ll regret it. I’m a first time VR user in my mid 40’s and it’s a real blast (when I’ve the energy to game that way) Your choice obviously but I’d give it one more go.
As much as I wanted to like it and I do to a point I found it a bit if a repetitive button bashing experience tbh. Am I doing something wrong? Never played Diablo before
The light brigade is my absolute favourite so far.
Then pistol whip and which is superb but absolutely knackering for a bloke in his mid 40’s!
Resi 8 is also great.
Can I give a shout out to the cinema mode too
This is my first VR headset and being able to play any games on a huge cinema screen whilst others watch the TV is superb.
For anyone on the fence about this game I highly recommend it. I’ve had my PSVR2 for a week now and have around 6 games for it and this is my most played so far. Great gun play and it’s pretty tough too.
Bought this yesterday for my psvr2. Wasn’t sure as board games aren’t really my bag but having completed the tutorial and had a couple of games (solo) it’s so good. I look forward to spending many hours with Demeo. Anyone not sure. Take a chance.
@NEStalgia Interesting synopsis of the game. I’m on the fence about this one. I keep reading it’s a stand out game for PSVR2 but would have loved a demo to try first. Would you recommend it? It was the rhythm part that I wasn’t sure about tbh.
VR2 games from partners?
Half life Aleyx too much to hope for?
If that’s announced I’m on the VR bandwagon as I cancelled my pre order due to the mediocre games at release for it.
@StylesT Exactly the same with me. I do want it but I’m afraid after the initial release it won’t be supported enough and just lay dormant. No idea if I’ll keep my preorder tbh and couldn’t be more on the fence about it.
@KaijuKaiser To be fair this is literally the only review which says the graphics aren’t on point. Can’t find anything about it on any other review I’ve looked at. Strange
@Eldritch I tend to agree with you in all honesty. If Half Life Alyx is released I will most definitely get it but for now I’m just not sure. As long as I can see it supported going forward I’ll jump on board but think I’ll wait for the time being.
@Eldritch
Thanks for the reply mate. Appreciated
It’s not a money issue for me it’s whether it’s going to be an expensive purchase just sat around doing nothing after the first few months as it’s not being supported and no new games are coming out for it.
This is my first PlayStation (always had x box and Nintendo until now) so am not aware how the original PSVR was supported etc and if this has a bright future going forward.
I’m really on the fence about my PSVR2 pre order. I was pretty excited and have never had VR previously but I’m just not sure it’ll be supported with great games going forward if it doesn’t sell due to its price? Anyone got any thoughts as I have no experience in this gaming area?
Despite starting the Witcher 3 twice around 5-6 years ago I only got a matter of hours in and got distracted by other releases and never went back.
I’ve been waiting for the next gen patch to properly sink my teeth into a proper run and I have to say I’m around 15 (ish) hours in and I can now see what the fuss is about.
I’ve barely scratched the surface and it’s superb.
Happy new year to all fellow gamers
Just got mine pre ordered. Nearly missed the e mail.. Never played VR before but seems very cool. Out of interest are all VR games digital or do they do physical copies too?
You might be best trying invasion first. 20v20 and bots to make up the numbers. Basically it’s a huge team death match on cracking maps. Ground war maps are even bigger with vehicles. Both modes are great fun. Give them a good go mate and sure you’ll have fun
It’s a return to form for the franchise for me. Multiplayer is so much fun Ground war and invasion are excellent. I give it an 8.5. Having no barracks is unforgivable
Yesterday was a 20 mins wait then had many games without any issues. Today there’s no wait and games don’t have an issue. There x box series x but sure it’s the same on all platforms (I hope)
It may be out but seems very few people (including me) have been able to get on a server since it went live. Shame…was looking forward to that this evening. Hopefully tomorrow
@Member_the_game “Can’t be bothered to get up and change discs!”
That made me laugh mate. We’re all so bloody lazy nowadays. Sometimes I feel like playing a game but as it’s not in my PS5 already I give it a miss! lol
The last of us part 1 on PS5. Only ever played it on the PS3 and don’t remember much tbh so it’s like playing a brand new game again. Really enjoying it
I bought it but had some vouchers so only paid £35 I haven’t played it since 2013 on the PS3. I’m around 9 hours in and really enjoying it. 9/10 from me. Deduction for price and some of Joel’s movement is a little clunky.
I bought this in a sale earlier this year but haven’t gotten around to it as keep getting distracted by other games. I’ll wait the 1.7 update I think but I’m excited to dive in when it drops.
I absolutely loved the dark zone in the first game with a few friends.
Nervously trying to get past other groups of players or trying to get your loot out without getting jumped.
Great stuff
@Dezzy70 I’m lucky enough to have both consoles. Series x and PS5. I’ve always been an x box guy prior to this generation. However my PS5 has had far more use than my series x which in all honesty I hardly turn on. Im really pleased I bought PS5 as I love the exclusives. Demon souls (the game that made me buy one in the first place) Returnal, Ratchett and clank, HFW and now the last of us to name but a few. Sure x box has gamepass but imo it really needs to up it’s game. Sure many will disagree with me but it’s just my opinion and I for one am mighty glad I took the leap to buy a PlayStation this generation.
It was £65 on Amazon and I had £30 worth of vouchers so I bought it for £35. I haven’t played it since the PS3 days so I’m looking forward to it after all this time and can’t really complain for that price.
I picked up a copy of paper Mario the thousand year door a couple of years back (for a hefty price admittedly). Played it back in give day but enjoying it all over again. I’m in the mood for some retro gaming tbh so after that I’ll be playing Luigis mansion 1.
@Gremio108 It’s my first ever crash game. I love it but full well know I’ll never get near completing it. I go back to it every few months when I want to test myself again…
@HallowMoonshadow
Can I ask if this is anything like Sekiro (combat wise)?
I’ve started playing sekiro a couple of weeks back and love the combat hence my question.
Bought a 2tb Samsung black (I think) a few months ago. Got a great price and love I have all my games installed and ready to go wherever I like. Each to their own but I’ll be doing the same for my Series X when it eventually requires it.
@AstraeaV I bought Sekiro on sale yesterday. I’m new to from soft games since buying a PS5 and getting demon souls remake (absolutely loved it as really didn’t know if it would be too hard for me/it wasn’t) Bought Elden ring and have played around 40hrs but got distracted by HFW. Was enjoying it and will definitely go back to it. Sekiro is very different. I’m played maybe 5 hours. It’s all about parrying and countering (and picking off enemies so you don’t get overwhelmed as far as I can see. I’m really enjoying it and with my very small experience of it so far I would recommend but I have read many times how hard it gets so I have no idea if I’ll be able up complete the game. Time will tell. If you like from soft games then I’d say it’s definitely worth a punt at the lower price but just be aware the combat is different to other titles they make. Very satisfying though… Hope that helps a bit.
@GhostInAJar It’s a belter though isn’t it. I bought the PS5 version on sale last year. Love platform games and I’d never played Crash previously (always had x box and Nintendo up until I bought a PS5). Blimey it’s hard. Great though. I dip back in every few months to try better my scores etc. great game which I’ll never complete! Lol
I tried playing this a couple of months ago again and couldn’t find a game for love nor money. It also seems to have done away with my favourite mode on release which was the one where the floor falls away and you have to knock your opponents off. I might try again as the gameplay was pretty fun for a blast every now and again.
HFW. Picked up a brand new copy on eBay for £35. What a bargain. It’s an absolutely brilliant game. I’ve already put 40 odd hours in and I’m only level 24. There’s so much to do and it’s a great variety too. The combat is thrilling (playing through on hard but will definitely up it for a NG+ run and the world is simply stunning. I’m taking my time with this game. It’s special.
Picked up Spider-Man Miles Morales in Black Friday sale last year but just started it yesterday. Seems really cool so I’m looking forward to what’s ahead having not played the previous game. Also playing through Tunic on my series X. Really great game which PS owners will enjoy soon too.
