Re: The Order 1886's Dev Ripped Apart by Facebook Owner After Acquisition

MagicalBarrie

I actually replayed it last year to get the platinum and it genuinely didn't deserve the hate it got. Yes it wasn't perfect but there was so much potential for a sequel, like when the original Assassin's Creed launched. Assassin's Creed II absolutely nailed everything and the first one promised and that's what everyone remembers.
I think the main problem with The Order was someone got a copy over a week early and uploaded the entire game to YouTube meaning loads of cancelled pre-orders because people saw the entire story of a very heavily story based game.
Also only the first five minutes are first person so not sure why it was describes as an FPS in this article.

Re: Out Today: PSVR2 Brings Next-Gen VR to the Masses

@Shepherd_Tallon I think VR has the biggest contrast between how cool you feel vs how cool you look. Like I was climbing up a cliff, looking down on a gorgeous waterfall, seeing machines moving in the distance.. And in reality I was stood in my living room wiggling my arms and grunting 🤣😅

If you've got the Horizon bundle ordered here's a tip: download the demo! It's a 46GB download and when you put your game code it just unlocks the entire game so you don't need to wait to play, I downloaded the demo this morning, the put my code in when my bundle arrived at 11.30 (I've only just come out 😂)

@Mr_B021 argh that's so frustrating!! Hopefully you'll be able to log in soon, have you tried going through Google to the PSVR2 page and skip the PlayStation direct page? I've had it where the actual page just glitches repeatedly, managed to bypass it by adding it then logging in, worth a try!

@Discol76 Absolutely, better to have it a few days later at the right place then get it day one to a strangers house 😂
I was thinking the same thing, I'm hoping that because they haven't sold out (and reports they've sold less than estimated) it'll mean we'll still get it day one

@Discol76 Tell me about it, I spent an hour on the chat and then got cut off literally at the point when they were about to give the answer we lost connection! It would have been funny if I wasn't so angry 😂
Then managed to get back on later and got an immediate answer, it can take about 5 minutes for the systems to update but you can cancel and then reorder without being worry ☺

Re: PSVR to PSVR2: All Games with Free Upgrades

@Discol76 You should be able to cancel it and then reorder it to your correct address, I cancelled the standard edition and then ordered the Horizon bundle 5 minutes later, I checked with customer services it wouldn't still think I'd met my quota and not let me reorder 😅

Re: Actress Annie Wersching, Who Played Tess in The Last of Us, Has Passed Away

MagicalBarrie

My wife and I met her at comic con in London a few years ago, she was so excited because she'd never done it before and we were her first photo op, she was almost more excited than we were, it was absolutely amazing. And in her panel she was answering all the questions with such joy, she even went into character as Tess when I asked her about the recording sessions. Genuinely devastated to read this.

Re: All PSVR2 Launch Games

MagicalBarrie

@thefourfoldroot1 Hey you're right, it's been pushed back! It was launch day when they put the release date, and it was in the article as well, I guess it's been delayed and they removed it

Re: All PSVR2 Launch Games

MagicalBarrie

Ooh they've just confirmed that Tales from the Galaxy's Edge, Tentacular and Walking Dead Chapter 2 are all launch games! I say confirmed, there's no announcement, just the release date on the store. So excited!

Re: Manufacturing Tittle-Tattle Tips PSVR 2 to Enter Production Soon

MagicalBarrie

@munstre I know 2 genuine life hacks, one is if you get egg shell in your eggs use a bigger bit of egg shell to scoop it out, stops it shooting about the place.
The much more relevant one is put a fan on facing you when you play VR. I used to feel sick after 30 minutes play with even stationary games but when the wind is hitting you it tricks your brain into thinking that actually, maybe you are moving, and it stops it trying to make you throw up because it thinks you've ingested something toxic that's giving you hallucinations about moving.

Re: New PS5 Owners: How to Fix Common Problems

MagicalBarrie

I pre-ordered Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate for PS4 and PS5, however when I try and download it it tries to charge me full price. Weirdly I can download all the DLC for free, just not any version of the game. Only problem I've had, Spider-Man Remastered and Miles Morales both downloaded without issues.
Currently waiting on Sony to fix it but I imagine they've probably got quite a lot on at the moment so not expecting to play it any time soon..

Re: Talking Point: What Do You Want to Know About PS5?

MagicalBarrie

Is Share Play supported? I know you can picture in picture with another PS5, but can you do that with PS4 as well? Also can they "pass the control" so you can play their game? I use this feature to help family 300 miles away get past tricky bits in games and it would be great to know whether this is still supported.
Oh also can you use picture in picture with media apps? Like have Netflix pinned in a corner while you grind a game?
Cheers!
