It's installing right now, so I'll play it later. Actually bought a lot of games over the past week, plus got a $75 giftcard for the PS Store. So as of right now, I've ended up with: Sekiro Shadows Die Twice, Lego Marvel Collection, Star Wars: Battlefront 2, Death Stranding, World War Z, Bloodborne, Heavy Rain, Detroit: Become Human, Beyond: Two Souls, Days Gone and NieR:Automata (Game of the Yorha Edition). Only played a few of them so far, but my favorite right now is actually Battlefront 2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OctoberRaven Posted December 26, 2019 Report Share Posted December 26, 2019 Update: Death Stranding's product placement of Monster Energy is utterly hilarious. Minor lore details Spoiler So, you can chug Monster Energy in between stops to buff your stamina. And by chug, I mean CHUG. Three cans full! But that's not all folks. You have a canteen containing Monster Energy to restore lost stamina. It also self-replenishes through some kind of osmosis, and converts all liquid into Monster Energy? Plain old water? Fuck that shit, turn it into Monster Energy! That time rain that ages everything except your hazmat suit for some reason? Convert it into Monster Energy, the Ur-Drink, the true element that brings life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tristy Posted December 27, 2019 Report Share Posted December 27, 2019 I'm only up to meeting Deadman, but holy fuck this game is so weird. It's like a David Lynch film in movie form. Keep in mind I've played maybe 30 minutes of Metal Gear Solid: The Phantom Pain and that's IT as far as Kojima games go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MGS series is pretty pants on head insane itself, but from all i've seen and heard of DS it's basically Kojima without any sort of oversight or corporate expectations writing the most insane wacky shit his brain was able to invent. It's Kojima in its purest form. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colly Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 Nosying round the store January sale, are Tekken 7 and the Spiderman addons any good? Both down to single figures, tempted by both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OctoberRaven Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 So is it just me, or is beating MULEs actually not that hard in Death Stranding? I mean, the game obviously wants me to ambush, use tools, overall be stealthy but... it's simpler and more effective to just wallop them like Adam West Batman.

tristy Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 (edited) Greedfall is 40% off in the January sale, I might grab that. Any recommendations for VR games? All of the shooters look a bit same-y. I'm getting No Man's Sky, that should be fun in VR. The bundle I got already came with Astro Bot, Skyrim, Resident Evil 7, PS Worlds and some golf game.

Blood & Truth, Moss, Batman Arkham VR, Superhot, Tetris Effect, Accounting+, Trover Saves the Universe, Job Simulator, Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, Surgeon Simulator, Wipeout and Beat Saber are all brilliant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

probablyoliver Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 Tetris Effect is literally just regular Tetris, but it's absolutely one of the best uses of VR I've ever seen. It's truly one you need to experience because it's just stunning. Accounting+ is by Justin Roiland. It is very, very funny. Job Simulator is a game set in an automated future where humans go to museums to experience what it was like to do regular jobs in the past (ie current day). It is very, very funny. Surgeon Simulator is a game where you perform surgeries with a variety of tools. It is very, very funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tristy Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 Which ones do I need the move controllers for? I won't have those until next week at the earliest I keep imagining this is going to be a boring use of VR without those controllers, since I can't imagine doing it with just the regular PS4 controller, but we'll see today I guess.

probablyoliver Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 Of the ones you've got Astro Bot and Resident Evil 7 use the regular dualshock and they've both wonderful so start with them. Of the ones I mentioned, you can use the dualshock for Tetris, Moss, Trover and Wipeout. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaney Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 If you want a great use of the dual shock, get Statik. It's not too long but it's very immersive. Your hands are trapped in a puzzle box and you use the dual shock buttons and sticks to make different things happen, to solve the puzzles. It's very similar to Portal, atmospherically. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tristy Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 So, it's not super pixelated, but I thought it would be in like Ultra HD or something and it's definitely not. Really evident when you watch things like WWE in VR. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a fix? Or is this just how it is? I haven't played TOO much on it, just a few demos and stuff like the VR Playroom. Would I have paid full price for this when it first came out? Absolutely not. Am I satisfied with it as a $177 purchase? Yeah. Just wish it was more vivid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobfoc Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 VR in general looks pretty murky. It'll be a good few years before we see even PS3-quality graphics through a console VR headset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing Resident Evil, it didn't look very clear at all, and quite blurry in parts. Made me feel sick, fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
