My friend got this game (on pc) and he's having a lot of fun with it. He's a pretty experienced player for DBD and also played Friday the 13th. I was worried matches would be too similar but it seems in the early stages he's having a lot of fun.
While I'm not personally interested in buying this because I have DBD and also a TON of games to buy this year, I figured I'd put that input out there.
@Trousersnake to be fair, I only played like 20 minutes of the intro, so I didn't get to see settlements, or any of that stuff. Maybe it looks better in more confined spaces. I got started on a snow planet this time which was new. Again, I do feel it was massively improved. With all the hype I saw on reddit I went in believing it was going to be like Red Matter 2 and to me it just wasn't unfortunately. It's still a great upgrade!
And it isn't all on my expectations. I played Kayak VR for the first time, expecting it to look great, and it does! Not perfect but great. I also tried Synth Riders for the first time and it was way better than I expected. But again, both of those games don't have the same scope as something like NMS, which might be one of the most ambitious games on the platform with how vast and procedurally generated it is.
@thefourfoldroot1 Yeah, I would have loved for it to look that good, but to my eye it just doesn't. But it makes sense with how big and open NMS is vs how corridor like Red Matter 2 is. I think it's like if it was the worst looking PSVR2 game there was (which is what a lot of people said), it's now around mid tier instead of top tier
@Trousersnake @thefourfoldroot1 I feel like I'm taking crazy pills, but I loaded it up last night and it in no way matches Red Matter 2 for me in graphical fidelity. It's definitely a step up from where it was and makes it a lot more playable but I can name several games with much better graphical fidelity.
It's still awesome that they updated the graphics, I just need to be honest.
Bought the game at launch, was disappointed and pretty much never came back.
I know it’s a lot better but I’ve watched videos and I’m not sure it’s the game for me.
The way to get me to play this is through increasing the quality in the PSVR2 mode. It’s probably the blurriest/lowest res game I’ve played on the platform
Kind of a weak month for me personally outside Sea of Stars but the last two months have been great and I'm going away on vacation without a console for 11 days so it's not a huge deal to me. I'll just play more VR or one of the previous month's games
@WallyWest 16 is a WAY better Final Fantasy game than 12 or 15. Story, gameplay, music, world etc. Combat is great and more varied than you think. Two of my best friends are playing and since I’m ahead of them, I’ve watched them play and we all use different abilities and approach combat differently. I’m saying all this as someone who also loves turn based, one of my top two games this year is turn based.
You’re obviously the one with bias based on your comments here. You’re coming off as really abrasive. It’s ok to have different opinions but maybe don’t speak for everyone.
I love this! I had been waiting for 3 years and it’s met all my expectations. My runs tend to be long though because I almost always go through all biomes I’ve done so far to a) accumulate gold, b) continue to learn layouts and enemy types and c) get xp for that class. I think it’s gonna help in the NG+ runs. Just made it to the sixth biome.
Just finished Zelda. I’m just waiting for Rogue Legacy 2 and FFXVI to come out. Last night I restarted my Returnal file to play through again. I might do some psvr2 this weekend!
@gbanas92 @Hamst88 someone posted on Reddit an interview with the developer of these games. Among other info, she said because of fan response, she is looking to do a 1989 port but it is a much older game and would require a lot more work. There's not a team working on it yet but it is in her plans to port.
@Perryg92 I think they said they weren’t sure if they would be bringing 1989 over but that was a while ago. They had said before they were going to do 1995 but no info at that point
@gbanas92 @thefourfoldroot1 there’s no dates but I’m pretty sure they did say they are planning on porting 1995. 1989 is still up in the air (I don’t know why).
I absolutely cannot wait and the fact that it’s free for me just makes that worth it. Getting the plat on the first was one of my most treasured plats 😁
@Soulless666 I'm pretty positive there's an auto option for dialogue in Octopath 2 and as they finish speaking it goes to the next text automatically. I don't have it installed right now to check but I'd definitely look that up
@Krysus probably because Meta wanted it to be revealed in their showcase. Same as the fact we’ll have new ps4/ps5 games unveiled at the Xbox conference.
1) Do I need to have played the first to get some references in this one? 2) About how long is this? 3) Is the first one coming to PSVR2? Do we know anything about that?
Looks super good. However, Crimson Desert also looked amazing when it was revealed and has been a no-show since. Not putting any hopes in this one haha
@AtlanteanMan I guess I didn't specify, the issue I was having is that the right controller would work in menus but not in game, so I couldn't select anything (whether it was my play area) or in an nfl demo's case, agreeing to the EULA.
It's a known issue for random units, they said they could fix with a software patch but they have no idea how long it might take. Some people have had the issue since launch so I figured I'd just go ahead and get it exchanged.
@AtlanteanMan I don't own GT7 yet, but either way, they made me send in the entire VR unit even though it was just the controller that was defective. It's listed as a return and not a repair (which is supposed to be faster) but supposedly the warehouse that ships to me is super fast with purchases but ridiculously slow with exchanges. One guy on Twitter said it took 4 weeks for him to get his back. They say up to 10 business days just to process before sending out. My 10th business day is Tuesday so I guess we'll see.

@Perryg92 actually there’s even more! Jurassic park, garden of the sea, last labyrinth, organ quarter, brain beats, etc
Re: PS Plus Drives Down PS Store Prices on Over 2,000 PS5, PS4 Games
@Perryg92 looks like Demeo, Pixel Ripped, and Until You Fall are on sale. Honestly I was waiting for a price drop on Pixel Ripped. Might grab it now!

Re: PS Store Sales Charts: Final Fantasy 16 Can't Stop Diablo 4 from June Number One
@WallyWest you are CRAZY. I guess a good question is what FF games do you actually like? VII Remake’s combat was really good but so was FFXVI

Re: Mini Review: Pixel Ripped 1978 (PSVR2) - Atari Adds Impressively to Newest Nostalgic Treat
@gbanas92 yeah! I’m more excited about 1995 even though it’s older. Hopefully it’ll come out relatively soon

Re: Only Eight PS Plus Extra, Premium Games Confirmed for June Update
I have been waiting years for Rogue Legacy 2. I am unbelievably excited. I’ve always wanted to play Inscryption also
Re: Mini Review: Pixel Ripped 1978 (PSVR2) - Atari Adds Impressively to Newest Nostalgic Treat
@gbanas92 I had a PSVR for a short amount of time back in the day but I had never heard of this series. I know they're potentially porting 1995 later.
My question is, do you feel like there's a need to have played the other games at all? Are there very many references? Or is it pretty standalone
Re: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth PS5 Gameplay at Summer Game Fest? Nomura Promises More Soon
@Martijn87 yeah. Not that I feel it needs it, but that would be the best explanation to why they’re announcing it now.
If they are indeed worried about FFXVI sales then that would be one way to make people splurge.
I remember buying Type 0 for FFXV demo lol

3) Is the first one coming to PSVR2? Do we know anything about that?

Re: Another Fisherman's Tale Adventures to PSVR2 on 11th May
Do we know if the first one is coming to PSVR2? It's fine if not, I'd probably watch a YouTuber play to see if I'll be interested in this one.
The status on my replacement PSVR2 says preparing to ship so hopefully I get it tomorrow or Wednesday!
Re: PSVR2 Sales May Actually Be Stronger Than Has Been Suggested
