Nice looking game but the combat is really bad.

ah not bothered, I kinda want a "story" game as I don't have Until Dawn or Uncharted, so I guess this one should have me covered on that front.

I have Skyrim for excellent combat.

It's bad as in, really frustrating. Got sick of not be able to kill those stupid clickers and gave up. Life is too short.

I don't agree, you must have been playing at a high difficulty level?
It hadn't amazing gameplay, granted, but the story elevated it to another level.

ok, wanna recommend an alternate game from the 15 euro list I should check out?

Not interested in Far Cry, and I have Until Dawn which I just need to unlock with a PS Plus sub when I do that.

Black Flag is the best Assassin's game by a long shot, Syndicate is really good too. Both very different. I'd go for one of them.

Hmm was never a fan of any of the Assassin's creed games, combat was way too complex for me to enjoy.

Kinda like why I haven't played Witcher 3 too much. Just give me 2 or max 3 buttons for combat and I'm set. None of this parry crap.

Jerichoholic

Parrying couldn't be easier in AC, just press it when the opponent turns red. It's all about the unreal ships and sailing around the world in Black Flag though.

Jump, Attack, and throw Grenades/Knives is all I want, no special timing moves

Think Doom 2016 gameplay

Far Cry 4 then

Nah found all Far Crys samey after playing 1, 2, 3 and Blood Dragon (great games, but kinda like FIFA or COD, it's just the same with minor plot differences)

I'll just go with popular opinion on this one and get TLOU


Anyway this has sidetracked discussion about PSVR enough... is Last Guardian going to get a full VR game or was this demo just a single experience?

Why did they call it a demo if not for a full game?

Jerichoholic

It shows what the game is about I guess. Would have been great without the teleporting. Can't stand that hand holding at this stage.

Yeah Bethesda have it right for the most part with giving you options for everything.

Hopefully all games will offer you freedom of how to move around going forward.

Oddly enough teleporting works nicely in Raw Data, and also Robo Recall on the Rift.

Big VR sale on US PSN (just create a US account and buy credit on Amazon.com)

https://www.reddit.com/r/PSVR/comments/7jnab8/playstation_holiday_sale_vr_games_list/


Thinking might go for Sports Club VR for $9.99.

For the newbies there are lots of goodies there, note these sales don't always transfer to EU so grab them now.

Other recommendations for newbies:

- Pinball FX (plus grab Walking Dead DLC)

- Driveclub VR

- Here they Lie

just realised I got Black Flag for free on UPlay yesterday... so, eh.. no I won't be paying for that

Jerichoholic

Forgot about that, downloading it now. It's been a while.

I was also "accidentally" credited €18 by Three on my mobile phone account (they owed it to me, but manually did it last month, I guess the automatic system wasn't notified).

Time to use that on BuyGameCredit. Everything is turning up mrcheezy


Nice, turns out the 2 for €30 only cost me €12.49 ... deal o' the month!

Wipeout is great, but the complete disconnect I feel now playing on a flatscreen really ruins it for me after playing practically non-stop VR for the past few months.

I instinctively turn my head to the right expecting to be able to see my opponent but just see sofa. Then I turn back to the tiny (in comparison) window in front of me where it feels like I'm watching someone else playing.

This is on a 55" screen too.

Can't wait to get this in VR because I'm pretty much unable to play flat screen any more. My quick reaction skills are completely lacking compared to how I perform in VR.

I think I played too much resident evil last night, I was stuck on the bit

Once you start into Skyrim and play it sitting down to relax, you'll find playing until 2/3am is not unusual, you're brain adapts to the day/night cycle of Skyrim instead of real-life.

When I rent out a room in Skyrim and sleep for 7 hours, I actually feel like I've slept irl.

im sitting wide awake after another night of Resident evil, its just too addictive, I wasnt feeling queasy this time thankfully, my sleep pattern has gone to pot, as it does from time to time so not blaming the PS:VR for that,
so Im gonna just stay awake now till a reasonable time (10 PM or so and have a night off and a good long sleep) but yeah you do lose yourself in it, I took the headset off this morning and got a shock that it was light. it really is superb and worth every cent

Just noticed that Sony must have dropped prices - Farpoint + Aim controller is 69.99 in Smyths and Argos.
Or has it been like this for a while and I just noticed ??

I just placed an order with Smyths - It's actually 5 Euro cheaper on littlewoods, but I don't trust them after a mate of mine bought a laptop with them and had a terrible time getting it off them.

Nice - but beware of ordering online with them. Took 2 weeks for my PSVR to eventually arrive. Their customer service is the worst I've ever seen.
Great though if you can get it in B&M store though

gerrybbadd

I'm gonna pop out and get Farpoint with the Aim Controller and possibly Robinson & Eve Valkyrie.

I already have Farpoint - i wonder what Gamestop would give me for trading it back in?

EDIT:

So i picked up the above games. They gave me €6 for Farpoint out of the box. So, I bought Final Fantasy XV from their preplayed selection. For €14.99

Imagine my surprise when the lad behind the counter gave me out a brand new copy of Final Fantasy XV Day One edition, still in it's plastic, and for less than 9 quid!

PS VR starter pack is on sale in the US at the moment and is incredible value, I wonder will we see it over here anytime soon.

If you've an Amazon US account, might be worthwhile to see if they'll price match it. Walmart don't ship, but Amazon do.
