Re: Soapbox: PS5's Next-Gen PSVR Headset Is Going to Drop Jaws in 2022

Palleon

@doctommaso The psvr is an older tech - the Quest 2 has no motion sickness as the refresh rate, clarity, graphics and responsiveness are now so high. The psvr2 should be even better.
So discussion of motion sickness in a 2021/22 article is more akin to asking why a comment about cleaning the dirt out of a mouse ball wasn’t included in a review of a Razor gaming mouse.

Re: Random: Play Sonic at Electric Speeds When Original Game Comes to All Tesla Vehicles

Palleon

@NEStalgia Mine costs me £300 a month on a lease scheme, including insurance, tax, servicing and repairs. The electric to charge it costs me around £10 a week.

My previous 6 year old Fiesta cost me £40 a week in diesel, £45 a month in insurance, plus MOT, servicing etc - so I'm paying around £20 a month more for a brand new very nice electric vehicle.

And yes, I love 90s video games.

Re: Poll: Did You Buy Tales of Arise?

Palleon

Played it for a few hours today, never played one before - seemed a very sold RPG, reminded me of FF or Dragon Quest. Nice graphics, and decent maps. An all round fun 3rd person action RPG. Despite crashing a number of times…

Re: Abandoned App Patch Drops, Trailer Is the Same as Twitter Tease

Palleon

5gig? Is this the actual game? Is it really one of those conceptual endurance tests where only the most dedicated and hardcore gamers put up with all the apparent “bugs” and “delays”, and which we eventually realise only those who battle through the “problems” and don’t Abandon the whole concept are those who succeed and get the rare platinum trophy at the end?

Re: PS5 SSD: How to Install an Internal SSD and Expand Your Storage

Palleon

Blimey people - slide off the top, stick the drive in, turn the screw, pop the lid back on - which part are you struggling with?
For those comparing it to the “complexity” of a pc upgrade - do you realise that upgrading a graphic card consists of “remove one screw, pull the old card out, push the new one in, retighten one screw”? None of this stuff is difficult or complicated. At all.

Re: Shadow of the Tomb Raider Patched to Run 4K, 60fps on PS5

Palleon

Haven’t played this before, despite buying it in a sale she’s ago - installed it on the PS5 last night and it’s stunningly good looking on my OLED C1, and fantastically smooth. Huge thanks to the folks who pushed this update out - I’ve been playing it all day!

Re: Best PS4 HDR Games

Palleon

Agreed with most here about how HDR was either too dark or just couldn’t tell if it was on, on my mid range HdR TV.

Just bought an LG C1… omg… the difference is astonishing. The hdr is stunning on all these games. I thought hdr was a bit of a crap marketing gimmick but I was wrong. It just makes everything feel more real and immersive.

Re: Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance (PS5) - Unashamedly Old-School Hack-and-Slash

Palleon

Bought this on an impulse without knowing anything about it, besides third person fantasy - and am loving it. I saw some bad reviews online but if you take it as a cheap (£30) button mash dungeon crawler then its great. Really nice graphics on ps5, very smooth, and feels similar to God of War in terms of combat. Only played solo so far, the elf and the dwarf - very different styles of play, one fast and stabby, one slow and hammer smashy- both enjoyable. Not overly challenge, but after a day at work it’s a welcome brain reset game.

Re: First Impressions: F1 2021 Shifts Up a Gear with New Story Mode, Two-Player Career, and More

Palleon

Whilst I love (love) actual F1, and enjoy various racing games on PS5, I’ve struggled massively to play the codemasters F1 games with a controller. GT Sports motion control with the PS controller is fantastic, but codemasters haven’t enabled this in F1 2019 or 2020, and a decent steering wheel is hard to hide from the missus. Even casual mode is a struggle (for me) - and I’ve no idea why! Hopefully 2021 will be an improvement.

The new story mode sounds like they are taking a leaf from the Drive to Survive series’s success - which could be a good thing if done well.

Re: Biomutant (PS4) - The Classic Case of What Could Have Been

Palleon

Reduced to £44 from £59 by Amazon uk already, on release day - word has spread.
Watched a live feed of this last night - 10 minutes of a creature pretending to be Elvis in baby language - as you spoke to them, was like Telly Tubbies. At one point the streamer was so bored they were on their phone and didn’t notice the dialogue had ended. Such a shame, as was massively looking forward to this.

Re: All DualSense PS5 Controller Colours

Palleon

I’d like the one that doesn’t develop the massive drift after 3 months, that you can only get repaired if you don’t mind holding on an overseas phone call for an hour only to be told you have to pay for postage there and back again and wait 3 - 4 weeks minimum. During which you cant use the console - the one you had to sacrifice a goat just to be lucky enough to find in the first place, and for which you paid £70 just to play one game - which you can’t, because the controller developed a massive drift after 3 months…

Re: Reaction: Sony Said Xbox Game Pass Isn't Sustainable, Then Released One of Its Tentpole Titles into the Service Anyway

Palleon

I don’t understand why this matters -or how it effects you in anyway.
They run businesses, they sell their product any way they want to. And if you want to buy an Xbox and pay the pass fee then you can do so too, go for it - or you can pay the PS fee and play it here. What does it matter to you? I presume because some instinct is yelling “it’s not fair! I bought this console and they didn’t!”
But no one is banning you from playing the game - nothing has changed for you.
And if you feel so entitled to be the only ones who can play this game for some bizarre reason and want to really complain, don’t buy it! Of course then you won’t actually play it at all which seems to defeat the objective somewhat.
Btw, over on the Xbox side they are crying because Forza was put on Steam and on the Nintendo side they are shouting because MH Rise is coming to PC.
The whole thing is ludicrous.
