I really enjoy my ps5 but I doubt I’ll pick this up. I’ve realized that 90% of vr games aren’t very fun to me. The best use I’ve gotten out of a vr headset was on flight simulator because it made sense. I sold my original psvr, my oculus quest 2 collects dust in the closet
Meh. I have a quest 2. It mostly just sits in a closet. I've kinda given up on vr for a while. I sold my psvr headset too because I never used it.
My take after owning one for a while:
Pros:
-Good launch games that show off hardware
-DualSense is a significant upgrade over the DualShock
-Great performance
-Quiet
-Back Compat w/ most ps4 games
-usb-c port on the front is great
-3D audio is cool
-load times are fast
-good games coming in the near future
Cons:
-Physically and comically huge - even compared to my ...
DualSense is pretty cool. Returnal and Deathloop used it well. My only gripe with it is the battery doesn’t seem to last very long - especially on games that do use the haptics and triggers a lot. I had to go buy a big long cable so I could keep playing.
I’ll be curious to see how it’s used in the future - especially on multiplatform games. Is it a lot of work/development time that’s not necessarily worth it for studios or is it pretty straight forward and easy to roll in. ...
I feel like ps5 got the jump out of the gate but since then I’ve spent far more time - especially in the last couple months on the Series X. In fact I was going thru the PlayStation store ps5 game section just yesterday looking for a new game to play on it just because it has been sitting there and big chunk the games I thought looked interesting I could either download for free on Gamepass or buy at a discount thru Gamepass on the Series X. Deathloop was great. Ratchet was great, returnal wa...
I enjoyed both ratchet and psychonauts for different reasons. Psychonauts was more clever and creative while ratchet was more action spectacle. Both have their place. I def would say ratchet eclipsed psychonauts tho. It might have been flashier and more “Hollywood” but it was also a bit more derivative and formulaic as well. Both are good tho imo. This is me nitpicking.
I like deathloop more than returnal personally. Not only is it a fun game, but the dialog and writing are top notch. I feel like returnal is fairly overhyped itself.
I find it ironic that a ms first party studios game won as a PlayStation exclusive (even tho it’s technically timed and slated for Gamepass as well)
I'll pick it up no matter what but the last few releases have been disappointing, so I hope this changes that.
I own and play returnal. I like it, but it’s def not game of the year material. If anything this just makes the PlayStation bias more apparent. Some games like ratchet and clank felt more fun and higher quality imo. .
Returnal is a fine game. I own it. I play it. I like it. I don’t think it’s the most amazing “action game” of 2021 tho. And I gotta be honest - when people say “gorgeous” I’m also surprised. The art direction is cool, but I don’t think graphically it’s amazing. The red laser effects look straight up ps3, the spindly arms with glowing bits are constantly penetrating thru walls etc, the character model while in gameplay doesn’t really look great - especially if you jump into photo mode for a be...
I agree, but its not management that is the creative team… there is a creative team filled with creative directors, art directors, game designers, writers etc. I think what you meant is giving them the freedom to be creative vs sticking to data points and market trends.
well deserved. one my top games of this year. its so good.
Oh the entitlement…. Not going to happen.
I kinda disagree. there were some great games, don't get me wrong but not every game is for everybody and just because they are exclusives doesn't make them the best. I loved Ratchet and Clank, I think Deathloop is great (even tho its actually a timed exclusive and also on PC) but stuff like Demons Souls and even Returnal are kind of niche. I'm also pretty burned out on superhero stuff at a time when Sony is going all in.
Conversely Xbox had a great year too bu...
this surprises me. don't get me wrong, I love the game. I'm actually playing it right now. But there were somer pretty great things released this year. and while I think Deathloop is excellent, does it honestly do enough to be "the best"?
not surprising. I haven't finished it either admittedly. I like it, but I don't love it enough to stick with it. I'm actually surprised it won action game of the year. the difficulty is fairly high and I don't see that as a negative but I don't think the gameplay is as amazing as people seem to think so I'm not motivated to keep trying after dying a few times. just my own opinion. people are free to disagree.
and would we care if it did?
but how about accessibility hardware tho.... the part that actually helps ppl play.
dope! some of the best in the biz.
