that shyt hard. I think I left off on level 4-5 or something. REZ I want to see Area X as I've heard really good things of it but that level restart shyt had me angry as hell.
Thumper is hard as hell...:wow:

It's also hard as hell to catch the beat in Thumper. You can't just zone out and play, you gotta use your eyes as well as your ears.

I haven't played much REZ since I bought it (not sure why...:jbhmm:). That's my next game to beat though. I even have the very rare physical copy of that game from io8bit.com

We got my pops PSVR for Christmas. He was a huge gamer up to his early 30's. These days he only plays The Last Of Us, Red Dead Redemption, The Batman games, The uncharted series, and the tomb raider series. He tried out my PSVR and loved it so we got him his own headset. He was saying he was really interested in The Last Guardian. I'm gonna have to buy him that one for his birthday.

Pros:
The experience is unlike anything else available on consoles. Something you have to experience yourself to truly appreciate or understand.
The games that are fun...are FUN. I find myself feeling cheating when going back to traditional gaming on a tv.
Cons:
The price. The total investment will run you $500 or a little more after tax, if you don't already have the move controllers. A peripheral that costs more than the console itself is a hard sell.
The games right now are incredibly limited.
The biggest con is the possibility that Sony will not support the platform in the long run. Right now I personally don't even feel that they are giving it their best effort in pushing the headset. There's little to no marketing on it and Sony didn't bother putting out quality first party games to back it.
Verdict:
If you don't have $500 to burn wait this one out and see the support it gets. I only have one because I got one for my birthday. Otherwise I wouldn't have bought it. Now that I have it I enjoy it very much, but I'd be hard pressed to reccomend spending your hard earned money on it right now. I say if it goes down to $300 don't hesitate and buy it immediately. It's a great experience but the support, steep price point, and game variety is hurting it right now more than anything.

its going to collect dust indefinitely after you're done with the handful of demos. its trash, bro. do not waste your money on the shyt. wait until it has at least 2 decent games and there's a price drop.

I'm waiting till this drops in price before I get one. Sony really trying to fukk people over selling two move controllers on their own at $99. :mjlol::stopitslime:
Yeah $100 for move controllers is crazy, and I haven't confirmed, but I think they stopped selling individual ones too.
I bought some from amazon for $30 a piece.

I don't get this perspective at all.


First,you keep saying there's no games,even though people have listed "real" games to you but you choose to pretend they don't exist because they don't personally interest you.


Secondly,vr is a brand new way to play games. Devs are still finding their feet,learning what works and doesnt. They have no frame of reference.


The early part of vr was always going to be smaller games,and a shyt ton of experimentaton.

It's new tech. It needs to grow.


By going around telling people it's trash don't buy it you're actively attempting to make it a self fufilling prophecy by trying to keep the audience smaller thus making less reason for studios to support it.


You seem confused as to what you even bought into,if you expected vr games to be able to compete with 4th generation 3d games that have been polished and refined for 20 years against a brand new way to play you're sadly mistaken.


The first buyers of vr were always going to be the enthusiasts and taking a risk.


If you don't like it sell it. If you aren't willing to try games that are out of your direct interest and take chances you shouldn't have got vr in the first place.


The excitement of vr comes from trying new things that were different from the norm.
