@jrt87 to be fair to pushsquare, it did sell out in the later afternoon. I say this because I couldn't get one. They've since (presumably) made more stock available
@Artois2 agreed. The artists and devs are real people. This is a cumulative effort from many. I know if I'd worked on this and seen it crash this hard, I'd be utterly broken, so yeah, they have my sympathy as opposed to contempt
@GeeEssEff yeah, they're banging and I wish I'd made the investment ftom day one, as it makes things way more comfortable. Just make sure you're ordering for PSVR2 fixtures and not PSVR1 by mistake... lest you be a pleb like me...
@GeeEssEff get your prescription and buy some lenses off HonsVR. There's other lense providers, but that's who I used and I've never looked back. Way more comfortable, excellent service from them, and speedy delivery from China to UK
@Kidfunkadelic83 they'll be on the mid tier. I've been playing on Hellmire and those general "scorched" planets. You'll definitely run into them on extreme.
@Mostik they are when you get in proximity. They have nests. It looks like a cluster of spore spewers, and clearing it is classed as a secondary. You need a hellbomb or orbital laser. Just don't deploy the hellbomb too close to the structures, or they get stuck on the rim of the mushroom bits on the way down, which means you can't arm it hahah
@Kidfunkadelic83 I got taken out by one last night in a fashion you're kind of suggesting... I shot it mid dive, then it's corpse cannoned into me and completely smooshed my feeble body.
Easily my most played PSVR2 game ftom a catalogue of about 10 titles. I understand the blurriness criticism, but I've had no other problems, and I've easily sunk about 30 hours into a new PSVR2 save. Each his own, I guess
@LeeHarveyOzgod yeah, that criticism didn't even register with me.
Same with the hit detection. My kid plays drums, and she's been nailing the tracks on hard/expert with zero issues on cymbals, so I'm guessing it's the reviewers setup or a tech issue.
Still, out of all the launch stuff this game has gotten some serious play, so the 6/10 surprised me. People are entitled to their opinions though 😁
@JP80 a lot more variety in Ragnarock, with more licensed tracks. The styles are very different though. Ragnarock leans heavily into pirate, orchestral and doom metal, whereas Drums Rock is pretty standard rock and roll oldies with some contemporary, heavy stuff thrown in
@Kidfunkadelic83 UK chap here, got my despatch email at 11:20. It's coming via DPD. I'm not rubbing it in, literally just to let you know to keep an eye on those junk email folders!
@Uncharted2007 this. We gave people Internet far too soon. It's a wonderful tool that's ultimately squandered and abused by humanity... the equivalent of giving a chimpanzee a lazer bazooka to get fruit from trees.
@z0d15g0d well, Paramount did. Makes sense why there were cameos from Sonic, South Park, Transformers and Beavis and Butthead. You are probably right though.
"However, it's been confirmed that Bungie will remain a "multiplatform studio" with the ability "to self-publish and reach players wherever they choose to play." That means Destiny and future Bungie games will still be on Xbox."
@WallyWest hey man, I'm with you. I'm really enjoying it and love Halo as a franchise. It just struck me as unusual that the percentiles for story related achievements were low for such a big franchise. @Fiendish-Beaver does raise some valid points as well, mind. I'm only mentioning this as I don't want people think I'm crapping on the platform; I play all platforms, and everyone is eating good right now 😁
@Titntin yeah, I'm playing campaign at the moment and I'm really enjoying the gunplay. I'm starting to have concerns that it'll turn into a Far Cry effort, where I'm just combing the map for the sake of completion and not really having fun, but luckily the traversal, shooting etc is great stuff.
I've noticed the percentile rates for achievement unlocks are stupidly low as well. Your bog standard, story progression achievements, which you'd expect pretty much every player to get, have really low numbers. Looking at them right now, the second equipment unlock, which you get really early in game, has only been unlocked by 17% of players.
This suggests to me either people arent playing the campaign, not a lot are playing the game at all, or a LOT of people are just playing MP. Either that or, the game is broken.
He really is a gigantic child. I remember when he got all p*ssy when Drawn to Death was rightfully criticised, and then shut down due to low traffic. He blamed everyone but himself and took zero responsibility.
@BoldAndBrash understood. And thanks for responding civilly. It's a topic that seems very difficult to reasonably engage in for some, and I'm glad we could have a decent discussion about it ✌
@BoldAndBrash why makes you say that? I mean, Pedro Pascal has South American heritage, is it really an out there concept that his daughter is a person of colour? This isn't me trying to bait you or anything, I'm genuinely curious why you think the casting is out there. Is it just Joel and his daughter or other cast members?
I came away underwhelmed. Too much CGI movie crap, not enough actual gameplay. And there weren't any exclusives that made me sit up, at all. Even Starfield left me non-plussed given it showed literally nothing, and still isn't out for over a year.
Funnily enough, I dug mine out of mothballs the other day to play some Ratchet. Just wrapping up the second one. I would play them on Vita, but the ports have never sat quite right with me.
I was very much surprised to see a new firmware update rolled out yesterday, to say the least.
I can assure you, that audio bug is not rare for me. I encounter it every time I play. And with a Pulse headset cranked up, it not only makes me cack my pants, but it's so loud my left eye nearly bled.
@render this. Spawning a gun of your choice isn't going to finish the game for you with ease. I typically manage to find the gun I want prior to facing a boss, but unless you have health items and/or know what you're doing, you're still buggered.
