@thefourfoldroot Horror films I love, just gotta dig through all the crap to find the good stuff. Books are a lot harder. I think the only book that's ever scared me is House of Leaves? books don't much scare me haha.

Play any non-VR horror games? Might be easier to get through those if you had an interest in building towards VR horror. Could start with Alien Isolation or Outlast or something! Although they evoke the same feelings as VR horror, just a little less immersive haha

@thefourfoldroot Do you like horror outside VR? Or just in all its forms, hard pass? haha

@nessisonett This is definitely the most successful of the bunch haha.

@Telekill Nah not super new, I know I've been hearing the term for a lonnnnng time now! I won't add an explanation as @GoodGame covered it flawlessly already!

But if you don't like Metroid, there are still Metroidvania games you can find you'd probably like. Most of the games now use that Metroid or Castlevania structure as a framework to come up with their own unique ideas. So you just have to find the ones with the ideas you like! Stay away from something like Axiom Verge though haha

@FixMadden22 For real! I fully support this!

@Burntbreadman I still play this and Beat Saber on the regular. Couple of times a week like you! Audica, maybe every couple months? For gun VR rhythm I like Pistol Whip a lot more though. Played that one?

@kingvosyoutube Hey maybe next year will be the year that they completely overha...oh right it's a sports game!

@N1ghtW1ng Honestly, I'm pretty okay with that one being in the game just for how beautifully stupid it is!

@nessisonett Honestly kinda same haha. They were my FAVORITE band in high school and I was convinced of it. Now I still enjoy them a ton, but I can't tell what's nostalgia and what's me still loving it haha

@Burntbreadman Yeah that first one, they all came from their last album. Pleasantly surprised to see tracks from across all different albums this time!

@fR_eeBritney Only the first 6 tracks?! I LOVE Megalomania, probably one of my fav songs of theirs!

Oh, what! Was Mark Hammill in the movie too? Or just the audiobook?

What VR games have you booted it up for? Or have you? I know rhythm games are far and away the ones I find myself putting on the headset for over and over, whereas everything else I gotta accumulate like 5 of them before I can be bothered haha. But if I wanna play Beat Saber (or Synth Riders actually) I'll just play whenever I'm in the mood!

@hookedWORM17 Twin Peaks is by far my fav show, and Alan Wake came out right around when it was cementing itself as my favorite show, so it was perfect timing!!!

@hookedWORM17 A pretty reasonable leap to make but honestly...not really? I've read a few of his books, and love a couple of adaptations of his work, but I wouldn't say I really love any of his books haha. I appreciate them though? That's probably part of it. The Twin Peaks vibes from those games are more the elements that hook me haha.

Been waiting for this for what feels like years. Bring it on. One of my very favorite games of all time, Probably second to only Kentucky Route Zero. I'm so so ready

@Gmork___ This new port of the game includes the N64 version of the game! It mentions something similar actually haha. The description reads like "for those who might have fond memories of a different version of Quake, you can play the N64 version in full." It's in the add-ons menu I believe, it wasn't on the main campaign page, but it was in there!

@themcnoisy I really like Doom 64 too honestly, I played a lot more Doom than Quake when I was younger, but Quake's campaign definitely has a more coherent sense of logic to them when it comes to layout and secrets. Makes for a less frustrating experience if a newcomer tries out the game, so yeah, hopefully, you should have a better time with this!

@hi_drnick Yeah, it's a big ol' failure! There's absolutely NOTHING worth playing in VR! 🤣

@EnragedGibbon Oooo, maybe that's where the third one'll launch!

@Ort Definitely agreed! And can't wait for the third one

@bpomber Hey it's not like it's been over a decade since they won a playoff ro......uhhhhhhhhh....uhhhh...uh. Well they had success before that okay?!?!

@bpomber Hey they got rid of Freddy, and he was deffffffinitely the problem, right? ............ Right?!

@naruball Let me know when you try it out!

@naruball Something absolutely magical happens with VR when it goes after music, and there are just so many great options! Always glad to be surprised by games like this that surprise me with just how great they actually are!

@kingbreww What's the biggest gripe you ended up having with the game? Just didn't like the gameplay much? The tracklist?

@Burntbreadman Yeah that was at least partially my first impression as well, some aspects of the presentation of the game look slightly...cheaper than something like Beat Saber, which makes sense given how presumably massive the gap in budgets would be.

But the gameplay itself is marvelous! I think the rail system realllly helps make the gameplay feel that extra bit special, it's by far the most elegant solution to held notes I've seen in VR, and it's fantastic!

I myself only have PSVR, has the community on PC done anything in the vein of the "Experience" levels in the custom realm? Is it feasible in the title?

@kingbreww That doesn't really make much sense. That'd be like comparing Undertale to The Last of Us and docking points on Undertale because the "graphics aren't as impressive". It's not about that. There's more to it. And a game being graded on a scale is being graded according to how well it's succeeding on the experience it is trying to provide to the user. It is not being compared to every other game that has received an 8. An 8 can mean something entirely different from game to game.

@Steel76 Yeah They did something similar to Beat Saber on PSVR. A rotation mode in 90-degree cones in either direction. It's not quite as well implemented as with Beat Saber, but it's an option at least!

Oh you can turn obstacles off still, but that was more just in relation to the default experience as presented!

Agreed on the soundtrack. Muchhhhhh better! Way more music I actually like and listen to haha

@naruball I almost exclusively use VR for rhythm games these days, and this is one of the ones I think I'll be leaving installed! This, Beat Saber, Audica, and Pistol Whip!

Been waiting for this one to hit PlayStation for an eternity! Just looks so cool!

@thefourfoldroot Not that I'm aware of, unfortunately. That'd sure be cool though!

@rjejr 🤣

Absolutely loved the first one, still one of my favorite PSVR games to date. I'm absolutely on board for another one!

@KidBoruto Of course! Would also recommend the PS4 ports of Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy if you haven't played those in a while (or ever). Those are still great too!

@KidBoruto That PS4 port might be worth your time! Upscaled, but honestly the game plays pretty well by modern standards! It was very ahead of its time!

@KidBoruto Actually, you know, among those few games I think I would agree with you haha. I think the last truly great Star Wars game I played was...Republic Commando? I think that was the last one haha

@Spoonman-2 Awww I love that "forward momentum" of the story! No looking back! And the actual environments (the open-world style areas you end up in especially) are great!

A couple of other folks have mentioned it as well, but depending on your opinion of subtitles, the Russian voice work is quite a bit better!

@Spoonman-2 Awww bland? Like the environments? The gameplay? The writing?

@Spoonman-2 Yep yep! The DLC is upgraded as well. The PS5 only one they released just comes with all the Season Pass stuff by default in fact! I think they call it the complete version?

@viktorcode Absolutely! Much better!

@orson Oh, I wholeheartedly agree. Absolutely debatable! That's part of the fun of it though, no? Look at just the comments on this review alone! Some pretty divergent opinions!

@Samba3 The loads are muchhhhhh better. Still pretty long in spots, but definitely better!

@Abdessgal Lemme know what you think when you start! It's so good!

@Ward_ting Oof that sounds extremely annoying! I was actually shocked to not run into any bugs this time. Encountered a lotttttt when I was playing it on PS4!

@JustPlainLoco If it's a series you already like, definitely worth it! I did that before the PS4 version of Exodus came out actually!

@Alpine021 I bought Ghost of Tsushima day 1, and haven't even booted it up once!

@Nepp67 I think it's just a purely artistic choice, because mechanically I agree it doesn't really help much, but that tactile feeling and knowledge that you the player are the one catalyzing it...warm feelings all over!

@carlos82 It's one of the small reviews, and there were just other areas I was more interested in talking about. Buttttt, I do agree with you! Very impressive!

@KidBoruto Just from the Star Wars games under the Disney umbrella? Or going way back too?

@zimbogamer My thinking is that's tied to the frame rate too. I think they might have tweaked aiming acceleration so you can aim side to side/top to bottom more smoothly now cuz they didn't want it to look out of place while the game was running at 30FPS (well sub 30 in the case of the PS4 version haha)

@trev666 I could be persuaded on 2033, but Last Light ehhh, gameplay-wise it was a huge leap forwards from 2033, but it's far and away the one I'd be least interested in going back to. Already beaten Exodus more times I think haha

@Nepp67 Less that it's new and more just reiteration. One of my favorite "little details" in gaming!

@nessisonett they're practically the same game when you think about it! They're both...uh...games.

@MattyHammo ish. The story isn't one of the strengths in the first two, but it informs most of the dialogue in this one. It's less important for the actual story. The characters in this were present in past entries, but weren't super well developed until this one actually haha. I'd say Exodus is pretty welcoming to newcomers so long as you have an understanding of the world you're being dropped into!

I'd still play the other 2 though given the choice. The "Redux" remasters on PS4 are great! Last Light is a decent game, but I LOVE 2033! One of my all-time favs!

@Olmaz That actually sounds fantastic! I'd love a dedicated marker for 3D Audio. Took them a while to get one for VR back when that was on the way, so who knows how long it'll take, but I am super on board for them adding that!

@Olmaz Nah not overhauled to be native 3D, of the muffled variety. The improvised 3d!

@Latex Nah same game through and through, just a couple of graphical tweaks. The map is still decent for collectible and navigation purposes, but still less so when trying to actually figure out how to go places haha.

Absolutely down for me tetris, especially free tetris!

I was not expecting a sequel to this well, ever! Very on board with getting another crack at that series!

@RogerRoger Glad to hear that haha. I quite enjoy the exchanges!

Hahah no worries! Yeah e-mail is a-okay! Shoot your e-mail to my Push Square one ([email protected]) and then I can respond on my personal account after that!

@Vacuumator Oh man I am so so so there for that. Sign me up! Like Battlebots, but with extra stuff!

@hobbes242 Yup!

@Vacuumator @deadfred77 @get2sammyb Guilty!

Seriously, seriously impressed with the level design on this one! So much better than I was expecting!

@dark_knightmare2 Oh i think the puppet is vastly more impressive for what it's worth, just that this CG looked better overall. I think it was better at realizing Goro, but I'm never ever gonna prefer CG to practical!

@tselliot That's generally what my takeaway was too! A very "okay" game is basically amazing by the standards of game adaptations hahaha.

@DrJames Ehhhhhhh, bit of a reach given I think the Uncharted movie's gonna be awful hahaha

@AhmadSumadi I still can't believe they went for that one! Never expected to see that recreated in a live-action movie!
