@rusty82 yeah crazy to think it initially was a PS4 exclusive even, and now it's Xbox owned. I can imagine it coming to other platforms though, as it was expensive to make and wasn't a commercial hit on limited platforms, seems like a logical fit to go multiplat.
@colonelkilgore I was pleasantly surprised with that one back in the day, had some cool mechanics and pretty solid story, not sure how the combat holds up now though.
@whitejessegpfc makes sense, also I'm guessing alot of ppl put the game down for a while and were a little rusty. All good, I'm just glad the goofy review bombing has stopped.
PS5
Elden Ring
Taking my time with this sucker, just exploring and chipping away. Beat the scorpion boss the last session, checking every nook and cranny in that region. Still don't get why several got their panties in a twist about difficulty, personally its as hard as your average From game.
Quest 3
Asgards Wrath
I put the PSVR 2 down to start wrapping my stagginating Rift library via PC streaming. Finished Lone Echo and Stormland last week, both were really good. Now this one, and yeah, absolute masterpiece. Inventory and quick selection really could do with refinement, but small compliants in a stunning RPG made for VR. On the 3rd Saga at the moment, look forward to getting back to it.
Pretty much the only 'meh' title Capcom has dropped in recent years...I forgot it existed tbh. Hope they give us the Dino game we all are asking for next.
I'm a couple of hours in, and I don't understand the discourse in the first place. It's tough, but not more so then any other From game, if people managed to finish the campaign, youd think they should be battle hardened. Anyhow, happy it's been remedied.
Really only if its a From Software game do I embrace and even enjoy it. Any other games, I have very little patience, especially if their cheap in their difficulty, or their a Souls ripoff.
PS5
Elden Ring
Checked out the dlc for a bit. Explored the first area, beat that fire ***** that roams the fields, then acted as a summon to help people trying to beat Moog at the dlc entry point. Just taking my time, enjoying new content for this, no need to rush.
PSVR 2
Vertigo 2
Awesome game, and a big step forward from the first title, which was solid but not as memorable. The imagination gone into design and levels is really admirable, just wish they would patch in DFR support to really do it justice.
Switch
Metroid Fusion
Having beat Super Metroid recently, I dived into this one. It's fine if slight, they took out a lot of the exploration and mystery for a more streamlined experience, which has pros and cons.
Overwatch 2 is on life support, the hero shooter had its time and place, so don't see this turning it around with Concord. Then again, a lot of people didn't think Helldivers 2 would succeed either, so let's wait and see.
Legends could have the opportunity to grow on PC, since it was a pretty badass free dlc that never got its due on console, but yh, with this requierment it won't. Hopefully PC users don't punish the excellent main game as well...they probably will though.
I wouldn't call it a 'surprisingly' move, more like inevitable. At least they moved on this quick and hope they take the lesson forward. If they want to break into PC, don't piss off Steam users, it's lose-lose situation.
I fooled around with it in Game Pass for a bit years ago, it was fun for a session but couldn't really see the appeal past that, I think it just wasn't my cup of tea.
Was really excited for some gameplay to be finally revealed, its been two years since they announced. I love the idea of this in VR, but until they actually show me it, I'm still on the fence.
I wish they would stop using their non-Gaas studios to do GaaS games. I don't have anything against the genre, but it will likely just get cancelled and waste a chunk of resources and time. It happened with Insomniac, Naughty Dog, FireSpirite and London Studio. Buy Arrowhead, and let them and Bungie make GaaS games and let everyone else do what they do best.
No issue, it really comes down to player choice too, you don't have to put on her barely there outfit if you don't want to...but if like me, you probably will lol.
Well now we know which Firespirite game is done. Bummer, the rumor was they were going to have a VR mode which would've been cool, still more excited that their original narrative horror game though...hopefully still in the works.

Re: The Obligatory Helldivers 2 Isn't As Popular As It Was Headlines Have Started to Emerge
Is it a coincidence that Shadow of the Erdtree hit this week? I know that's why I haven't been playing Helldivers.
Re: Metal: Hellsinger VR Brings Its Heavy Rhythm Action to PSVR2 This Fall
@Futureshark certainly, you'll need some sturdy VR legs for this one.

Re: Outstanding Tycoon Title Arcade Paradise Spins Up a PSVR2 Version
Awesome, been holding off getting it on other platforms cause I wanted it on PSVR 2. Happy the wait was worth it, its a day one for me.
Re: Helldivers 2 Director Defends Elden Ring Difficulty: 'Always Cater to a Select Audience'
If you ordered sushi don't get upset that it's not a hamburger. The From games are what they are, if they are not for yourself, play a different game.
Re: Poll: Can a Game's Brutal Difficulty Put You Off Playing It?

Re: Xbox Really Wasn't Happy with PlayStation's Call of Duty Marketing Deal
Kinda ironic, considering Microsoft invented the practice in the 360 era.
Re: Poll: Was Summer Game Fest 2024 Great or a Letdown?
It was fine, a decent watch, I know not to expect much with these, so wasn't disappointed...or excited.

Looks like a list of solid partners finally, and not a flood of forgettable indies. Might give it a look this year...
Re: Single-Player Ghost of Tsushima PC Content Won't Require PSN Account
Legends could have the opportunity to grow on PC, since it was a pretty badass free dlc that never got its due on console, but yh, with this requierment it won't. Hopefully PC users don't punish the excellent main game as well...they probably will though.
Re: Helldivers 2 PSN Requirement Backtracked on PC After Brutal Review Bombing Campaign
I wouldn't call it a 'surprisingly' move, more like inevitable. At least they moved on this quick and hope they take the lesson forward. If they want to break into PC, don't piss off Steam users, it's lose-lose situation.
Re: Sony Doubles Down on Helldivers 2 PSN Requirement by Taking It Off Sale for PC in Numerous Countries
This feels like a tone deaf move, if they want to break into PC this is just plain silly and will hurt the massive momentum they created recently.
Re: Helldivers 2 PC Is Getting Review Bombed Over PSN Requirement
Didn't they do their research? Don't piss off Steam users with launcher requirements, it never ends well.

Re: Random: Seven Years Later, No Man's Sky's Reputation Is Slowly Improving
Well deserved. For any curious, it looks great in PSVR 2, in fact, it looks the best out of any version due to Foveated Rendering.
