Obviously awful behavior, however the VA on Ada is really bizarre. Makes sense it's a different actress to 2, I was wondering why it hadn't bothered me there.
A point on this that I feel is rarely made, some of the blame should be pointed at the director and their VA direction. If it's not hitting tonally, it's not just an actors fault. It's someones responsibility to correctly project to the talent how to give the performance they want. And if it's not working at all, they can recast.
I think Bravo Team was totally busted on launch as well right? I think the tracking was screwey.
I've heard people say the latest dark pictures remains unpatched too. They definitely rush to get games out the doors. Imagine the state this would've launched in if it came out on psvr2s release
I've been slinging this opinion around like a cowboy but I think it's become evident that Until Dawn was a fluke/The Sony money shored it up.
Sony were right to dump this dev, i was always surprised they didn't pick them up but dud after dud is proving them correct. Maybe they could see this on studio visits and knew to steer clear?
I played this in 2016 on launch and then 7 years later last week.
I feel the gameplay and the humour has aged terribly. If you're the kind of person who laughs at Elon musk's 10 year old memes he reposts, you'll be right at home but I just felt that we'd moved on.
I don't think I laughed once throughout the experience. And I think once thats out the window, you're essentially just simulating boring jobs in a very simplistic way.
I wouldn't recommend it.
I haven't tried Vacation Simulator yet, it might fair better
I cannot understand this new insistence on "Iron Man" type game modes that wipe literally hours of progress for making mistakes.
If you enjoy these, I think you're insane.
Especially as we now live in a world where glitchy games can cause a death thats going to clear your entire save.
Just as we break away from a world of unnecessary multiplayer tacked onto games with their classic "get to level 100 on a dead, bad multiplayer game mode", this is a new norm. It sucks.
@darkswabber no it doesnt, you have to replay 4 lessons in the game 4 different times and play the first accio challenge over and over. Its stupid, its not challenging it just takes ages
@h15c0r3r I have never played Rez before and found it underwhelming. I did the 5 story levels yesterday and just didnt think much of it. Am I missing something?
Once this stuff eventually fades away, I honestly believe some revisionism will go on and the game will solely be remembered fondly as a truly great game.
I am already seeing some, I saw someone (quite rightly honestly) pontificate on the fact that Naughty Dog somehow managed to persuade Sony to fund what is essentially a AAA, big budget Manhunt game. Some of the most brutal content you'll see in a mainstream game!
the salt produced from this game was and still is absolutely incredible.
I remember seeing a detailed post about the calorie breakdown of the beef burrito Abby eats in the game where the poster had surmised that the protein content wouldn't enable somebody to maintain the muscular physique that she has in the game.
Really good list, looking forward to Tetris (only played on console) and thumper again.
I think the only thing now I'd like to see confirmed is Blood and Truth and Astro Bot. Never got around to trying them on VR1, so would be very welcome
For me, its stuff that forced you to idol your console for hours to meet a minimum time requirement when the game doesnt have enough content to fill that, or things like "smash 50000 barrels"
I'd rather just tie it to completion than be forced to do hours of pointless, non-challenging busywork

Re: MultiVersus Has Now Been Removed from PS5, PS4 Stores
@Korgon agreed. its a super fun Smash competitor imo, and they have a pretty massive bank of characters to add.

Re: Mini Review: Pistol Whip (PSVR2) - Still One of the Best VR Games You Can Play
@NEStalgia @h15c0r3r
The songs have a beat to them, if you shoot the enemies to the beat you get bonus points.
It's not always the second you see them, sometimes you have to literally wait for the beat/a drop.
I tried the hard difficulty and did find myself flailing around on the floor like a fish trying to avoid getting blasted
Re: Stunning Watersports Sim Kayak VR the Big Winner from PSVR2 Launch
@thefourfoldroot1 I think the pitch is infinitely more entertaining than the actual game. I was so excited for this.
Its so boring.
Re: Mini Review: Pistol Whip (PSVR2) - Still One of the Best VR Games You Can Play
@h15c0r3r Pistol Whip I think is my favourite, followed by Thumper and Tetris.
I haven't tried Area X yet in Rez

Re: UK Sales Charts: Hogwarts Legacy Takes Fourth Number One, Still Selling Best on PS5
I feel the game has a really good intro and initial 4 hours, and then the quality absolutely tanks.
The story is uninteresting, the gameplay is unvaried and its so repetitive.
Re: Mini Review: Tetris Effect (PSVR2) - Stunning Puzzler Now Looks Better Than Ever
Good note on the sense controllers.
Just doesnt work at all for this game honestly.

It's a thing, its the same for other titles that I got on Plus and then had a PS5 version later.

Re: Returnal Is Sony's Second Most Unpopular PC Game at Launch
@Worlock_ed hell yeah buddy
Re: Returnal Is Sony's Second Most Unpopular PC Game at Launch
Might be wrong, but I believe the reason is that PC players begrudge paying full price for a year old game.
Which is a shame, because its brilliant. But I can see both sides

Re: Idiots on the Internet Are Still Abusing Abby from The Last of Us 2's Face Model
@Wheatly maybe. But time does do funny things. I remember when Bioshock 2 came out and everyone ***** on it. Boring, derivative etc.
Then years later suddenly, people were like "actually, its good"

Re: MultiVersus Daily Peak Player Count Down 99% Since Launch
Honestly, the game is good. I thoroughly enjoyed it, I've played over 500 matches.
However, I don't have enough time to play a F2P game 6 hours a day, forever anymore.
And those who do have to pick one. There are so many on the market. It's a shame!
