My R1 button is always on. I don't know why or how to fix it. I've taken the pad apart and can't see any reason for it. I've left the R1 button out when putting back together and it suffers the same issue. I have to turn off my pad every time I load up a game otherwise my pad doesn't work so for me this might prove to be a time saver. Yeah it's annoying as hell and I need a new pad. I just can't find one cheap enough for my tastes at the moment and I'm planning on getting a ps5 so don't want to spend nearly 50 beans on one.
@ShaiHulud my understanding after watching the fascinating deep dive was that there is a secondary hd bay so you'll be able to install a 2nd SSD in that when the time comes.
The up side is that now it's fashionable to stay in rather than go out and with my love of computer games I won't be bored although because I was laughing at the people stockpiling toilet rolls I'm now running pretty low on toilet rolls.
Classic flu strawman nonsense is everywhere. Probably propagated by the Russian troll factories that brought us brexit and trumpet. The flu obviously has killed more people worldwide in the last year than covid19, but it's not really infected that many people yet. 2 weeks ago Italy had around 300 cases and 4 deaths. I'm not saying panic, I am saying take this seriously because while I'm sure everyone here will be fine, your older relatives might not be. We have no immunity to this virus and unlike the flu -which has at risk groups given a mixed strain vaccine - there is no vaccine.
So wash your hands and don't read Russian propaganda.
I must be getting old. I couldn't beat the end boss after 2 goes and had to give up and go to bed. However, it's great, I might have to play it on easy but I'd be okay with that to play this game again in a new style. So many epic moments.
Well...I see dreams as a huge opportunity for people who want to make video games. They can create chapter 1 or a prequel to a game and then crowd fund for a commercial release or get their idea picked up by a studio in the same way. That's the final destination for the software imo and I'll enjoy having the opportunity to faff around with it and create something truely pointless that no one will ever play.. Maybe a dipping doritoes on a train game. Who knows? The sky is the limit.
It does look really good. It's a tragic commentary on gaming that something very different like this gets a couple of comments while Pedro and his banana gets 4x as many
@ellsworth004 why don't we take that line with everything then? Yeah crack dealers giving kids free samples during their lunch break is crappy but until we get around to banning that practice it's up to parents to keep their kids in line. This whole discussion should be framed as why haven't the UK government banned this yet? In FIFA they give away free card drops to entice people to buy the ability to open more cards, whole I strongly think that parents have some responsibility- eg don't top your kids accounts up and actively explain to them what gambling is and why it's a mugs game simply being exposed to the excitement of the free drop can be enough to start rewiring a young brain to look for this kind of dopamine hit in the future. It needs to be banned at once,it's a disgusting practice which is an incredibly bad deal for players, that's enough of a reason to dislike it. The fact it's targeted at children is plenty of reason to ban it.
It's made me turn on music in game for rocket League as they've added a rocket League playlist. Might well get the beat saber dlc too. Both are fantastic games
My biggest worry about this game is how the cars handle. I've not played the later Unisoft hackathons but the first one had awful driving in it. Watchdogs cars were like shopping trollies and I hope that the cars in this feel more like GTA5 and less like both watchdogs and gta4
I'm a bit sad about this. I don't hate the band by any means but at the same time unless it's muse or a select few other bands I don't want a whole music pack dedicated to one band. I'd say I'll wait for a sale but I'll probably blink and buy it before they discount it.
They are both decent enough titles but it's hard to argue that they represent good value in comparison to for honor for example. That said I have plenty of my own games to play so use plus mostly hoping to get a good online multiplayer /coop to play with my brother. I already own overcooked so this month is of no use to me.
Great game, I'm not into electronic dance music and felt a little disappointed with the expansion songs to begin with but it fits the game very well and the expansion note maps are very good, especially on expert mode where you feel like you're making the music happen. I just wish I could find an ingenious way to drink fluid while playing rather than having to remember to pull myself out for a pint of water every 30-45m. Oh and a guide to cleaning your psvr headset would be extremely useful lol..
This is a cool feature, big games get loads of coverage everywhere, you guys looking through a bunch of smaller games is really useful. I'll probably try out switchblade as my brother and I are always looking for new games to try online and still play rocket league regularly.
Yet another game I wish had been out 20 years ago when I would've had the time to properly use. I also never really enjoyed lbp.. Not really sure why that's relevant tho as this seems to have very little in common.
However, I fully intend to get this at some point to enjoy the creations of others. You're effectively paying one fee to play an unlimited number of different games, lots will be naff, most will be short (suits me!) but some will be incredible and I can't understand why some people aren't at all interested in this release. Sure it might not be a day one purchase, you might get it second hand or on sale, but to say you have no interest in it at all seems to me to be ridonkulous.
People are going to make incredible games with this, I can't wait.
I'd never chose to listen to any of it but I have to admit it grows on you with the headset on. Escape is a personal favourite. On hard that awful pop stars song never fails to bring a smile to my face when the chorus starts.
Wow this is crazy. I'm glad I bought mine when I got my psvr with superhot in a cheap argos bundle. Nearly got wipe out and left the moves for another time. Same thing with the aim. I bought firewall with the aim controller on day 1 in a £50 bundle and now they are in short supply.
I think Sony aren't making many as they are thanking their lucky stars they managed to shift the warehouse full of the ps3 moves and don't want to have a bunch of them lying around when the new controllers come out.
@Futureshark agreed on the order. Think about buying it whenever it's on sale but feel like it's certain to be a freebie one day and then I'll be sad. I know it wasn't well received but I for one would be glad of a game that I could finish in a short period of time.
Great article. As a married father of a 3 yr old I completely understand your point of view. I do have a psvr and it is great fun. I game for 5-6hrs a week and while I could play more I choose not to because of priorities ultimately. I choose my son over gaming, obviously, that leaves me with 3hrs while he's asleep and I'm awake a day haha. It's easy to see why dad's of younger children either don't game or game a limited amount of time.
I similarly had 4 days when they went on holiday without me and I thought I'd finally finish the witcher 3 and the last of us (foolish buys when on sale, why did I think I'd ever have the time! and don't get me started on red dead redemption 2) and found that it was a nostalgic dream, until I randomly opened journey and had a magical 2hrs.
I've realised that for me, shorter experiences - those under 10hrs - is my sweet spot.
Great read, I've read this website for years now but this inspired me to sign up. Beat saber is horribly overpriced and a lot of the songs are not great but it's still a must own for anyone with a psvr.
