Great, that allows for even longer crunch!
Sorry, couldn't resist ;)

TLoU is fantastic...but to be a fact nerd, The Witcher 3 won a few more GotYs. Just sayin'..;)

Hey @Batnut00, you pm'ed me and I went to the trouble of writing a kindly worded reply then clicked send only to find you went and blocked me, lol. So much for constructive discussion I guess? Relax mate ;)
I saved it so if you change your mind and unblock I'll reply. Stay safe.

Good grief, they're worse than I thought. Unprofessional is an understatment, it's despicable behavior that they presumably get away with because of their 'identity'.
Yep, it's only controversial in their own, tiny little manufactured world.
I'm not sure you're differentiating between people who hate but don't actually abuse anyone and those who do. In fact, you give the impression the qualifications for what you consider to be hatred are pretty low. Sorry if I'm mistaken.
You absolutely cannot go around attacking people because you 'feel' they have hatred, depending on what you mean exactly by the word 'attacking'. Physical? Verbal? Trying to get them fired, ostracised?
<...
Oh Polygon, still writing like your deeply cynical interpretation of things represent anything more than the miniscule choir you preach to? Of course you are.
I didn't even remember that scene until you dredged it up. It gave me a chuckle at the time though.
Anyway, if you dislike this stuff so much, why give it increased volume? Oh yeah, that's right, it's because you still thrive on clickbait garbage.
April's Fools?
Interesting. Well, that certainly would be a departure. A day later and I'd have assumed it was an April's Fool you were pulling ;)
Yeah, I think people should try and manage their expectations of next-gen.
Making the leap to 4K@60fps is massive, we can't expect a big jump in graphics at the same time. 1080@60 or, to a lesser extent, 4K@30 would allow devs to use that extra power to increase visuals but we can't have it all at the same time, imho.
I think devs will pick what works best based on the genre, feel of gameplay and budget limitations so we'll get a mix.
Firemen with shotguns on a base far out at sea...can't wait.
It's hard to explain why VR works so well in a game like this but yeah, you've summed some of it up very well :)
That's why so many people upset by Alyx VR shouldn't be. Nothing is being withheld from them deliberately, there really isn't a traditional FPS game being 'held hostage' here.
I agree. Going through for the story might be cool, but if they want a HL fps experience like they're used to then they can forget it.
If people think this is a FPS game with VR slapped on it, and that all they need is for non-VR mode to be switched on, then they're mistaken and will be disappointed. It's not the same simplistic difference as between 2D-3D movies. I lot of people still don't seem to understand this :/
In what way are these two titles similar?
One is a run and gun shooter video game with hordes of demons and the other is a slow-burn, sci-fi horror movie with a single Alien. They're chalk and cheese.
@UnHoly_One
Oh, I forgot to add. What you said actually contradicts yourself.
- First you said that the only reason VR games feel good is because they are VR.
- Then you implied that without VR, we would see that they're not good games.
- Then you said that any game done in VR would actually be better if they weren't done in VR.
So, I'll say it again; what are you smoking.....and can I ...
Yeah, I agree with you to a large extent.
The experience offered and games available make it hard to justify the whopping price tag. I certainly am not going to buy one anytime soon. It's not helpful that they take up so much room either. Luckily, I have a family member whose VR I can use.
The one thing I do disagree with though is the film format thing.
If someone said, 'Dude, don't bother to watch Mad Max Fury Road unle...
@UnHoly_One
VR is nothing even close to a gimmick, imho. When it comes to games in fpp, it's literally a whole new world, without wanting to sound like Aladdin ;)
You're simply flat out wrong by general consensus when it comes to your last statement too.
For example, Arizona Sunshine would be better as a non-VR game? Seriously? What are you smoking mate? You must be trolling :)
Without VR Arizona is one of...
This was always going to be the case given the userbase numbers. Nice to see people interested though. However, I think, if they can resist the urge, they should hold off until they are able to play themselves, imho.
Mind you, even if you know what's coming, it feels completely different once you're in the game yourself so they'll still be able to enjoy it at some point.
I agree, I thought it was a high quality game - I played through three times, twice with family and once on my own. It also started off fairly creepy too, so it felt fairly RE to begin with, or at least similar to RE4, before becoming more generic in terms of atmosphere.
I think it looks worse to people in retrospect because 6 was so despised and 5 got a lot of the blame.
