@Derbiss Appreciated. Love me some gaming nostalgia memories myself.

I have very special memories with this game as it got me back into gaming. I just got my first salary. Having that amount of money at once was tempting, so I bought a PS3 because why not, you got to treat yourself, right? I liked playing on PlayStation 1 and 2 although I hadn't done so in maybe 2 years, so what could go wrong? What ended up happening was I used my PS3 primarily as a Bluray player and didn't really game on it. Some day, I saw a very brief snippet of Uncharted 2 and thought: I loved Tomb Raider back in the day, so that looks fun, pre-ordered it on Amazon and forgot about it for months. Later that year, I had knee surgery and was released home. The doctors said I need to rest the leg for another 10 days, so: Just chill and don't move unless you absolutely have to. But man was I bored. The next day my grilfriend came home with an Amazon package and I absolutely didn't know what it was since I hadn't ordered anything. Obviously, it was my Uncharted 2 copy. Although I was so done with gaming at the time, the boredom took over, so I popped it in and started playing. The game reignited my love for the art form, so it holds a very special place in my heart. Uncharted is one of my favorite franchises until today.

From 10 last time right down to 5. Oh boy.

@Shepherd_Tallon Mate, I wish I could experience those levels of immersion. I think I'm dead inside, lol. VR must be the absolute nightmare for you with horror games.

@ShaneReactions "It really felt like I was playing a new game from the changes." How? Genuinely curious.

@Styledvinny79 A lot of times, it doesn't even hit 30.

@Voltan Let me put it this way: I can see why they sent review copies that late.

"Review copies were only sent out yesterday"

That's funny, because I've already played through it. Got that one super early for whatever reason.

My physical copy arrived today. The original is among my top 3 favorite game of all time. Needless to say, I'll be all over it on the weekend whenever I find the time.

@Frmknst Because laws and taxes in a competitive marketplace, that's why. Not exactly a hard concept to grasp when a private person is acting commercially.

My first 10/10. Only took me a couple of years, lol.

@get2sammyb I think even the PS4 Pro 20th anniversary edition is "only" 1.5k at the moment. Sealed that is

My copy arrived today and it's just SO, SO, SO good so far. I'm in love.

@Stevemalkpus Still says 0.1 for me for the final trophy.

@hugoadan Considering I've played them all and love them to bits, 7 is utterly embarrassing.

Proud to be in the club of 0.1 percenters. I love anything Astro Bot.

@playstation1995 You didn't read anything of the above, did you?

@InsertUsername OK. That's an entirely different point though.

@Frmknst You're the embodiment of Grumpy Cat on this site.

I didn't dislike the beta. But I got my fill from it already.

@dark_knightmare2 you're very welcome! What can I say, I love me some gaming memories and nostalgia.

Story time: it's 1997 and I had just gotten my PS1 for Christmas. I was visiting a friend in a VERY small town, which had a video game store roughly the size of my bedroom. Not only was it in a small town, the store was even hidden in that town. We went there with all of our pocket money. I had no idea about new games, how they reviewed etc. And then I browsed the games and had a copy of Broken Sword in my hand. The case was beat up, the manual was torn and the disc looked like someone used it as a coaster. Then I took a look at the back of the box and remember being amazed by the graphics. But I had no idea about the game whatsoever, didn't even know the genre. But the graphics alone made me pick it up with all the money I had left.
We went home, popped it in and then I saw the cursor. I had no idea how to control George Stobbart and when I found out it was point and click and you couldn't shoot anyone, I was seriously disappointed. I just dumped all my money, so I tried to make it worth it. I read the manual and solved my first puzzles.
The rest is history. 27 years later, Broken Sword is still my favorite game series.Needless to say, I'll be all over this.

As silent as Sony has become. I'll take it over what the Xbox division does any day of the week. It's insane how much they have muddied the waters over the last couple of years. I thought Sony was bad at times, but Xbox easily takes the cake.

@DazzaUK1985 I was literally 5 minutes late for Kickstarter. Had it bookmarked for quite a while and got the notification e-mail that support options would be running out "today". Silly me assumed this meant until midnight. Nope. So no physical copy for me.

Unfortunately, I am totally immune to both jumpscares as well as psychological horror. I recognize the eerie atmosphere, but I am not feeling it if that makes sense. Now, VR is another thing entirely luckily, lol. However, P.T. was the only non VR game that truly gave me chills.

@Mikey856 I know. It was a dig at people asking those questions before it launched.

"WhO iS tHiS for?!"

Madison VR (PSVR2)

@J-Dubs Yeah, I've seen that. Should have kept it sealed, haha.

I won't ever use it, but I needed to have it, just to have it sit next to the Astro Bot Nendoroid figure and plush . Also finally bought a FF Pixel Remaster physical copy today. Wallet's tapping out.

@DTfearTheBEARD most likely, I'll never use it as I'm using the Edge as well. But I'm a huge Astro Bot fan and I need it as a shelf piece next to my Nendoroid figure for no effing reason 😂

@DTfearTheBEARD I'm somewhat "glad" I was late, because I'm in the same situation. I'd never use it and feel guilty for it, lol.

Edit: Nevermind, Amazon restocked them. Couldn't help myself.

@Czar_Khastik It was ten for me, so I'd expect him to deliver it half way at least. Or he'll leave out the fanfare.

F yes! Thanks for reporting about this, @Khayl. I secured my copy, didn't get one the first time around. I wonder how many they will reprint.

@Northern_munkey He felt happy once and thought it was awful.

@Max_the_German No, it's just my uncle saying that. No one else.

@Moonmonkey Apparently, there are two games in development at PS studios. We just have no idea what they are.

Will I use it? No, using the Edge.
Will I buy it anyway? Yes.

@PsBoxSwitchOwner Should have read my post in its entirety as I was addressing that point.

The wait for this is f***** brutal man.

Singularity on PS3 and Madison in PSVR2

GOTY for me. I am already sensing it.

@madmaxrules Apparently, there are currently 2 games in development at PS Studios. Which is 2 more than I would've thought.

@naruball @mrbone I'll add Kayak Mirage for your parents, Puzzling Places is a great suggestion. That said, it is difficult to recommend anything as it is also very dependent on how much your parents react to motion sickness. Puzzling places should not pose any threat here, but anything that involves movement can potentially cause it.

One major tip I can give you is: If you're feeling a little dizzy (meaning in the head), closing your eyes and standing still for a few seconds can already help, take it step by step then. In case you're feeling funny or sick to your stomach, stop IMMEDIATELY. The latter is a clear sign to take a long break from it as you can't overcome it, contrary to the first example. I've seen more than three people trying to push through and they all ended up in the bathroom, lol.

@GeeEssEff I suggest lens inserts or contacts. I've been using lens inserts from VR Optician and couldn't be happier. They snap onto the headset lenses and you won't need your glasses. There are solid ones from several overseas manufacturers as well for cheaper. If you have no issues wearing contacts though, I still think this is the best solution. Unfortunately, I can't use contacts any more, used to with the first PSVR.

@OneWingedFantasy While I am a staunch defender of "only pay what you're personally willing to pay" and that launch price is a hefty sum for most, some people have seriously crazy expectations, lol. I can't even count the times I've read "This should be 200 at most". Sure, Jan.

Price aside, what always surprises me the most is how unaffected people seem to be by the "VR factor" alone. Personally, I can't stress enough how much more fun I usually have due to it alone. I have to admit I had put it aside for a while, but recently I've played Hubris and Synapse back to back and currently I am dabbling in Galaxy Kart and started Madison. Not ashamed to admit that I had way more fun playing them than some critically acclaimed AAA games. That magic every single time when you put the headset on is simply unmatched for me. And while I agree that VR needs to make use of bigger IP more to draw more people in, at the same time, I'm baffled that a lot of people are so unenthusiastic referring to the overall experience. Sometimes, it seems like people do not even want to give the games any chance at all, there's so much good stuff out there. Although I'm spending significantly more time playing flat, not once have I regretted paying full price at launch.

@TheArt Leveling up won't do much in the DLC, at least the common way. Find Scadutree fragments instead.

@ShogunRok Bro knows his stuff. Good lad.

@kyleforrester87 Just thought it was funny that he had a perfect score every single time, lol.
