@MS7000 Father G is Visceral friendly. Aso, there is a consistent cheese that involves hanging on the inside wall of the big staircase. But more fun to visceral, or dodge behind, get in a couple, dodge back out, rinse and repeat. He definitely represents a leap in difficulty, but make it past him and you can chill for a bit.

Everybody should play this game. It's accessible once you learn the mechanics. And a masterpiece of gothic horror environments and characters. Just finished my umpteenth play through after platinum'ing the main campaign 2 years ago. This time my "rules" were to go to DLC ASAP, but Chalice Dungeons acceptable to play for leveling up. Beat Orphan of Kos for the first time last night; my only serious attempt at doing so. His reputation proceeds him rightfully so, but I find some of the later Chalice Dungeon bosses and the environments they're placed in far more crushingly challenging. Fave game of generation by far. If you're new, my best advice is to practice your viscerals-- you get a firearm for a reason!

Tried Playroom (great), Battlezone demo, REZ demo, virtual theater, and 1.5 hours of DriveClub on launch day. I wear bifocals and it was a great experience, but took time to find the focus sweet spot. No motion sickness whatsoever. GF wears trifocals and had a tough time getting focus. Still impressed, but put it down for 10 days cuz I was in the middle of Dark Souls 3. Spent four hours with it again on Sunday to see if I would keep or return it. Got my sweet spot for focus right away, played EVE demo, Thumper (incredible), Here They Lie demo, and about an hour of Battlezone. Loved it, loved it, loved it. Here to stay. Looking forward to a B2G1 sale this weekend to pick up Batman VR and Rush of Blood. I'm a 58-year old gamer and I've been waiting for PSVR to hit the market since the initial revelations of Project Morpheus.

Re: Hands On: Playing Non-VR PS4 Games on PlayStation VR

@GamerDad66 The PS VR splits 1920 by 1080 singe screen horizontally, so each eye sees 960 by 1080. I'm still looking forward to Cinematic Mode because, although the resolution is impacted, I regularly stream PS4 games to the PSTV and the Windows 10 streaming client at lower resolutions and, while not optimal, the games are entirely playable. As Sammy notes, the impact of lower res is likely less when viewing video and film content through streaming services or physical media.
