I mean I'm all for ending the childish console wars. But competition is good as well. Just a bit less tribal. But as I was called a butt hurt Sony pony* for crying over losing Doom, Elder Scrolls etc I can live with Hell Divers 2 being console exclusive for now 🤣.
I played the Humanity demo, I liked it but found one of the puzzles bemusing and it put me off. May have to retry. Heard lots of good stuff about Cocoon that is definitely on list. Living Talos Principle 2 at the moment. About the right amount of head scratching for me.
That looks really good. I like the idea that's it's chilled out. As much fun as a hard core version would be, sometimes just playing and picking stuff it is really good.
Played it and enjoyed it. Combat was meh, I expect it'll get more in depth and I have to try out the challenge mode that's now unlocked.
Also love the comments from people who haven't played the demo slamming people who have and weren't blown away. Geez chill. Most of the negative comments are fair and someone's opinion. Which is the point of the poll. I've not seen anyone really bashing the game only being honest and saying not for me. They don't stop you (or want to stop you) being hyped.
So you've played everything? Good for you guys. But those of us that have jobs that don't revolve around playing games have plenty to keep us busy. There's a range of games, plenty to play and there's a slew drop feed of new games coming.
I'm very happy. It's a big step up and I can see me using it more and buying more games than PSVR1.
7/10 seems a bit harsh. Noted the issues raised are real and do take you out of the experience. But looks like the patch to fix had just landed. Not tried it out yet, but it seems they are working and fine tweaking it.
@get2sammyb fair enough, I just disagree with the tone of the previous doom and gloom article. It's not necessary, sure challenge Sony and PlayStation, they are far from perfect. But occasionally this great site goes from trusted resource into rabid fan baiting.
Not very often I admit, but it mars what is a professional site with a sense of community.
@thefourfoldroot1 yeah "contrary to what you've heard PSVR2 may not be dead" well I heard it on this site! This place is great, but good sometimes it's just a bit clickbaity. Long live PSVR2!
I mean are we saying all VR is dead? I don't think that's the case so PSVR2 will be fine. There's plenty of games coming out for VR cross platform, so just chill.
I was already tempted. Then I read tough as nails. Hard pass for me. My hardcore instinct is long gone with too many games too little time. Hope plenty of others pick it up as it looked great.
So as I'm on Premium and want to downgrade I'm stuffed. Thanks PlayStation. I've just checked and all I have is an option to resubscribe at the full price for premium or wait for it to expire and pay full whack on Extra.
Just got the platinum on for the PS4 version. Nice little game, very buggy. Could play for hours then sometimes would crash on launching from child start. Odd. But had a good auto Dave so never lost any progress.
Poll is a bit biased. I'm not interested, but I don't consider it as a waste of resources. It'll not be teaching up a huge amount and it's their choice. Will sell pretty well I imagine regardless of the outrage online.
The only thing I'd really want is BeatSaber to be on PSVR2, which it will and my dlc to carry over. If be happy to pay a reasonable upgrade fee too have that game with better control.
I have premium due to jumping on a PS Now cheap deal in addition to the old PS+. So far Premium is a disappointment. Yes it may build and get better, but this is a service people are paying for now. Typical bodged launch by Sony. Extra is great value however, but 5 point is the top tier is tested like an afterthought. Wooo 35 min demos and no new games. Rubbish.
Not a terrible selection, but nothing for me. Some already been on lower tier of PS+ so a kick for long term subscribers and nothing for the premium tier? Overall needs to do better.
So yes to folders. But they aren't on the home screen. It's not in your installed games library. It's party of your overall collection, for me hidden away and having to hunt through 500 games to find the ones I want to add. Pretty much useless for me.
From the new additions there's probably only Stray that is of interest. But a good list of additions even if it's slim pickings for me. Premium needs to up it's game quite a bit. Maybe in a year with more drip fed in it'd be worth it, but pretty poor so far.

Re: Game of the Year: Best PS5, PS4 Puzzle Game of 2023

Re: Game of the Year: Simon's Top 5 PS5, PS4 Games of 2023
Quality list. Talos Principle 2 getting some love. It's perfectly tuned and designed. It's not for everyone I know, but well deserving.
I need to find some time for walkabout golf. I've heard nothing but praise for those that tried it.

Looks like Alienation. Which is a very good thing.

The sequel I didn't know I needed. Great news.

Re: Preview: Viewfinder PS5 Demo Is an Excellent Proof of Concept, and Now We Need More
Was interested when I heard about it and after playing the demo I'm in. Simple concept but really well done.
Re: Fast-Paced FPS Bulletstorm VR Kick Stomps PSVR2
@Trousersnake I don't think it is. But some do. Read some of the opinion pieces on the site.
It's doing well for me, loads of games and releases like this and other being announced on a regular basis. Not perfect, but pretty healthy for me.
Re: Fast-Paced FPS Bulletstorm VR Kick Stomps PSVR2
But PSVR is dead on arrival...

Re: After Transformative Gran Turismo 7 Update, F1 23 Will Not Support PSVR2
Totally expected them not to put this on PSVR2, although equally disappointed given they've done it for PC.
Would be a game changer and instant buy for me. Oh well 😌
Re: 23 Games Hit PS Plus Extra, Premium Next Week in Big Update
I'm probably most pleased with Bus Simulator being on there. Yes really. But overall a really solid update.
Re: Social Golfer Walkabout Mini Golf Comes Highly Recommended on PSVR2
@SilverShamrock I read it, I get you don't have to buddy up, the point is being is it actually fun or is the game built around social/multiplayer.
Re: Social Golfer Walkabout Mini Golf Comes Highly Recommended on PSVR2
@R_Ryder 😁 my thoughts exactly
Re: Preview: Humanity on PS5, PS4 Is Equal Parts Puzzle Game and Existential Nightmare
@NEStalgia same here. Got so far with the demo but then just gave up. Shame as it's put me off for now. But I guess as it's on PS+ I'll give it a go.

Re: Pavlov VR, Switchback, and Kayak VR Among PSVR2's Most Popular Games
Kayak VR I'm guilty of buying. Not recommended. Not much in the way of a game and as for the experience part, it's lacking after a few minutes.
GT7 is like a new game in VR.
Re: Rumour: Sony's Allegedly Cut PSVR2 Production Plan by 20% in 2023
I mean are we saying all VR is dead? I don't think that's the case so PSVR2 will be fine. There's plenty of games coming out for VR cross platform, so just chill.

Re: Gran Turismo Comparison Video Shows Huge Leap in Quality from PSVR to PSVR2
I've neglected most of the games I bought for PSVR2 because of GT7. It's so good.
Re: Site News: Our Plan for PSVR2 Reviews Through Launch and Beyond
Love to see Cities Skylines reviewed if possible.
Re: PSVR2's Packaging Doubles as a Handy Storage Box
I mean it's good, but my PSVR is kept nicely in the original box as well. Other than the cables being messy it works really well.

Re: Rhythm Game Drums Rock Crashes PSVR2 Launch Lineup
So not the official version of the songs, but covers? That's a shame.
Also other than a handful of big songs it looks like the rest I've never heard of.
Re: PS Plus Subscriptions Up to 40% Off as Part of PS Store's Huge January Sale

Re: Iconic Rhythm Game Beat Saber Will Break Bricks on PSVR2
As with others above, this was what was holding me back from a preorder. Will have to speak nicely to my other half now😁

No Beatsaber. No PSVR2 for me.

I was really hyped fort the game bit then reading reviews about the bugs and various problems never picked it up.
Re: PSA: Chicory: A Colorful Tale's PS5 Version Now Available on PS Plus Extra

Not at that price. Not for a third time around.

Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for August 2022?
Not a terrible selection, but nothing for me. Some already been on lower tier of PS+ so a kick for long term subscribers and nothing for the premium tier? Overall needs to do better.
Re: PS5 Folders, 1440p Support Part of New Beta Update Out Today
So yes to folders. But they aren't on the home screen. It's not in your installed games library. It's party of your overall collection, for me hidden away and having to hunt through 500 games to find the ones I want to add. Pretty much useless for me.
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for July 2022?
From the new additions there's probably only Stray that is of interest. But a good list of additions even if it's slim pickings for me. Premium needs to up it's game quite a bit. Maybe in a year with more drip fed in it'd be worth it, but pretty poor so far.
Re: Syphon Filter (PS1) - Espionage and Intrigue Abounds in This Scruffy Cinematic Shooter
My memory is that it was amazing. Will try it again at some point, but I suspect it will be painful going back to PS1 era controls.
