@rjejr Sounds a bit like your comment on TLoU 2 just being dark and violent and dialing the story back compared to the first - without actually knowing what the story is and how it pans out
With Shenmue 3, even if it sells poorly, the whole point of a kickstarter is to get enough money to have it made, which it has done...🤔
@nessisonett I'm with you on that, I want the best version so I will hold off for PS5....but....I also like collectors editions w/statues so I can't wait as the remasters/upgraded versions rarely (if ever) have a collectors edition...
@Quintumply Is this a narrative game in the 'What remains of Edith Finch' and 'Blackwood Crossing' vibe? Or is it more a puzzler like 'Grim Fandango et al? Loving the laid back story driven games at the moment....
This is great and well worth it in my opinion, I have all of these and think VR is an absolute game changer for the hardcore and casual alike, only problem is move wands which are still quite hard to get hold of in the uk...that and the aim controller...without these some of the magic is definitely lost...
Do I want Outer Wilds on PS4? Hell yeah!! to be fair I dont think i'd ever say i didn't want a game to release on PS4 but this one does look intriguing and I have only heard good things!!
Actually watching the awesome cinematics in spiderman rather than searching for a button prompt really helped with the immersion for me. Why spend all that time making them when people can't appreciate them cos of tapping buttons? Really like these options...
@SoulChimera honest question, where are you from that still has Virgin Megastores? Australia? I mean this with all sincerity as when travelling through Oz twenty years ago they still had Electronics Boutique and Woolworths which botth hold a special place in my heart!!!
Ooooh this will tempt me - been wanting it for awhile but due to an 8 month old baby the VR is hard to get out - the wife loves Imagine Dragons as well so this could be my best chance!!
Wow, can't see this one pleasing the masses! Overcooked is a great little party game and i've wanted Edith Finch for a while, but still no 'triple A' titles etc...
@naruball I'm not sure I saw uncomfortable, maybe slightly taken aback at the guys passion but he seemed to fine with it, and his comments at the end (and in the past few days with the star wars superfan crying) make it seem to me like he truly is wowed by the effect he himself, and other creators, are having on the lives of everyday people...
@Shepherd_Tallon If no-one's mentioned it yet, I find that standing up helps in a game where your moving (such as Resi, Farpoint), whereas I find it fine to sit down for games like astrobot and driving games - probably just fooling the brain but it helped me and a friend of mine who got really sick sitting down playing Farpoint...
@3MonthBeef Low voltage - sorry, but basically we joke that our whole company is held together with black tape, and we supply power to nearly 4 million people, its a massive embarrassment and intrinsically dangerous but, hey ho, its cheaper and no-one will really notice, will they?
@3MonthBeef You are too right sir, I work in the power industry, owned by the third richest man in the world. We use black electrical tape to tie our boots, use as plasters, and to fix faults on the LV network, because - its cheaper and no-one notices anyway, that is the state of modern industry!!
I have put about 30 hours into Railway Empire recently without even noticing, its really cheap at the moment too (£10), also, Aven Colony was well worth the tenner spent on it, enjoyable platinum...also really want to try Jurassic world...
@Circasurviver Ah my (american?) chum, I believe it was traditionally used as a day to give alms to the poor in 'alms boxes', on the 'feast of stephen', only really spread through europe and the commonwealth, not sure why...
@JohnnyShoulder haha, had to read a few times to understand all the 'ps+' and 'sales' bits (had a few beers mind, it is xmas after all!), but i've noticed it has been commented on before and it is a shady sales practice, school boy error from sony really....anyway have a good one mate!! (and I do hope GT is a ps+ cos I do want to try!)
@JohnnyShoulder Disagree, I have been stung twice by buying a game in a sale, only to have it appear on plus the following week (fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice...).
I have since looked at this and it happens regularly, the most recent being yakuza...(this was outed as a ps plus game a month before actually being announced)
Absolutely loved the original trilogy, actually gave the second one a standing ovation when the credits rolled (on my own, weird I know), really struggling to get through Andromeda...(and gutted about that)...
Some good, some bad, Rainbow six uninspired and 3 similar puzzle games, the japanese release seems to be more 'playstation' thinking sega could very easily trump this with a saturn mini...
Surely this can be patched in, more options are always appreciated, love those games like RDR where you're given a picture treasure map and have to work out where the treasure is!
@TomKongPhooey don't know whether it helps but you don't need all the suits, the trophy pops before getting the secret photo ops suit (think thats the one that needed all the challenge points, apologies if wrong...)
@ZeD @get2sammyb I would seriously hope that PS5 is back compatible, at this stage I have that many games in my backlog that I could see myself not getting one if this feature is not included, if MS do this then it would seem to be a massive plus in their favour...
Could they not light up the move controllers different to the helmet to differentiate for the camera? Or is it not that clever? Either way, VR cannot be judged on this as there are some truly mind blowing experiences, when handled correctly. Just like with 'normal' games, some work, some don't...
