Re: Review: Farpoint (PS4)

@get2sammyb I wholeheartedly agree with the frustrating overemphasis on the "killer app". I have loved so many games and experiences on PSVR since getting it at launch. I feel the library has more than proved the headset's worth as a new way to play. I meant it in the public's perception of the potential of full scale FPS VR games.

How is the battery life of the Aim? How is it charged?

@get2sammyb Thank you for the review. I will definitely be picking it up, but I'm sad to hear it's not the PSVR's killer app. Hopefully, a successful launch will spur more developers to go to big budget full campaigns with more games.

@JoeBlogs I would love a remaster to come out this summer. I want to replay it, but I don't want to dust off the PS3 copy if they are going to update the game. Rockstar does not really have much of a history of remasters aside from GTA V, so I won't hold my breath.

I would love to see a spaghetti western style game. Red Dead Redemption really mined the darker, later era, and revisionist westerns so there is plenty of room for a different take. It remains to be seen what tone RDR2 takes, but I'm sure Ubisoft could find a unique perspective.

Re: PlayStation VR Restocked Ahead of Farpoint Release

I love my PSVR and recently enjoyed Fated. I am excited about Farpoint and the new peripheral, but I am holding off until the reviews roll in. I can't justify laying down that much money for the game/gun until I know more about the length and how it plays. It also has to have some replay value.

Been on the look out for new PSVR titles and watched the trailer for this yesterday on PSN store. It looks really beautiful with an intriguing story. I will definitely be getting it. PSN store is getting better with more descriptive summaries/features for the VR games and experiences. It's harder to know exactly what you're getting from the trailer alone, so I really appreciate the extra details on PSN store and the reviews here. Please keep the PSVR reviews rolling out.

Horizon looks astonishing, but I also enjoy the little indies such as Night in the Woods. Sometimes the lack of hype can provide a more satisfying experience when an indie game turns out to be amazing. The art style of this one looks particularly interesting.

It seems like it will treat the topic of mental health with the respect that it deserves. I couldn't get into Outlast because it did the exact opposite. People with mental illness endured unimaginable treatment in the past and it should not be used for simple shock/horror in my opinion. Those horror games disrespect the people and do a disservice to a topic that still remains stigmatizing for those who have mental illness.

Finally playing the Tomb Raider reboot. I bought Rise of the Tomb Raider during a holiday sale so I want to play them in order. It shares some story elements with the first Uncharted, but I find myself enjoying it nonetheless. I like the dynamic of vulnerability and strength in Lara's character. The gameplay mechanics are really solid and the action is addictive. I'm looking forward to playing the sequel when this one wraps up.

Re: Poll: What's Your Most Anticipated PS4 Game of 2017?

Red Dead Redemption 2 is my number one. There is not a single game that comes even close to my level of excitement for it. The storytelling, characters, music, and gameplay of the PS3 game were amazing. Trailing behind would be Detroit: Become Human, Uncharted: Lost Legacy, Horizon: Zero Dawn, and Crash Bandicoot: N. Sane Trilogy.

There are a lot of colons in game titles this year.

Re: Review: The Last Guardian (PS4)

I only got a chance to play it for a short time last night, but I am loving the relationship between the boy and Trico. I'm excited to see how it grows and I can certainly see how it will deepen emotionally. This game hooked me from the first sequence and made me feel invested in its characters. I understand the frustration with technical glitches and controls, but this story is worth overcoming the issues as you said.

Re: Gosh Darn, The Last Guardian's New Cinematic Trailer Is Gorgeous

I am definitely excited about this game, but I ended up canceling my pre-order of the special edition. I just could not rationalize putting down $100 on an iffy proposition after being disappointed with No Man's Sky. I really think that I will pre-order less in general. It is our own fault if we put down money based on hype though I am guilty of it. Now, I would rather wait for some reviews by websites that I trust.

Re: Review: Watch Dogs 2 (PS4)

Bluetrain7

That was an excellent review that made me intrigued about a game that I had written off. The protagonist and story bored me to death in the first game. Does the new character and story serve as an improvement over the original? I love open world games, but I gravitate toward ones with great narrative and characters over sandboxes that are simply fun to play in.

Taking time to play Return to Arkham: Arkham Asylum. I forgot how well this game nailed the tone and characters of the Batman universe. It really was standard setting for a reason and truly a benchmark for what comic book games can be. I know Arkham City refined the formula but I have gained new appreciation with revisiting the game. I'm thankful for the remaster for that reason at the very least.
