Re: Soapbox: PSVR2 Already Feels Like It's on Course for Failure

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.

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.

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

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.

Re: Soapbox: I Tried So Hard to Like Elden Ring, But I Just Couldn’t Do It

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.

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

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.
