I played this game years after its release, luckily without spoilers, but I had heard a LOT about it and how great it was.
It’s one of the very few instances of a game living up to its hype. Loved every second of it! The humour is always on point, gameplay is unique, soundtrack is on fire, and the story’s not bad either. I only had minor grievances with it, but nothing that made it drop below a 9/10 for me.
Most can get past the simulation sickness with time. The key is to never let it get so bad that you get sick or experience pain. Only do small sessions of activity that slightly push the envelope, and be patient.
I don’t recommend racing games to anyone new to VR.
Ive got pretty decent vr legs and I experienced some nausea after about 30km of rally racing (around a half hour). Went away after a few minutes. I’ve got a very strong pc so there was zero lag and it was buttery smooth but the nausea still happened 🥴
If you think it’s worth the investment you could keep on trying. It does get better over time. What helped for me initially was only turning my head on straights, and keeping it straight ahead on turns. I’m guessing because then you’re not mixing real and fake acceleration. It defeats the purpose a little, but might be worth it. Oh and also what other people said: quit while you’re ahead. Recovery can take hours if you really push it, similar to seasickness. Oh and don’t do accidental donuts in your Ariel Atom all the time. That was fun until it wasn’t 🤢 😉, back with Driveclub on the PSVR 1.
You can just kill everyone in stealth sections so far, and there was no eavesdropping in the missions I’ve done. There are some escort missions, but they give you time and tools to try killing all of the attackers before they even approach
I never pre-order. I broke that rule exactly once and pre-ordered No Man’s Sky, boy did they make a fool out of me. Never again.
There are plenty of games I play that are on early access, the qualifier is whether the game is in a playable state and is fun to play (by account of online reviews or friend’s recommendations).
Exactly this. If it’s already fun, and especially if the early access price is good, then buying a somewhat janky game that will get better seems fine.
Apparently this game came out before the pandemic and also predicted it. So-so gunplay, great rpg progression so far (I’m level 23/40), and the world is insanely beautiful. I like dungeon crawlers, I like exploring, I like shooting stuff, so this game fits pretty well.
Unfortunately, it has this weird, mouse sensitivity jitter issue that seems pretty tied into framerate for some reason. I dropped my mouse polling rate way down and that helped a ton, but it’s still there for whatever reason.
I remember the first Division game, it didn’t even come close to predicting the pandemic. Some nebulous enemy group decided to spread a super plague bioweapon through cash on/before christmas. It also “wasn’t political” if you believe Ubisoft.
Replaying the division at the mo, but love both D1 and D2 although noting the engines/environments are great but the stories characters are pretty bland.
The first game is so incredibly atmospheric. Walking through the empty snow-covered New York streets, looting through abandoned houses, apartments and offices; exploring the subway and other iconic NYC locations.
Nope. Trust has been broken too many times. I don’t even buy anything anywhere near release anymore. I won’t buy anything anymore unless it’s either an indie game or its on sale and even then I deep dive the reviews and make sure I’m not wasting my money.
I don’t think I’ve ever pre-ordered a game. I’ve always been a patient gamer.
The only game I can recall purchasing during early access was Vampire Survivors. It was cheap as hell at $3 and was due to launch in about a week or so. There wasn’t a downside to getting it for me.
Dying Light plus its dlc THE FOLLOWING are a ton of fun. The dlc is completely different from the main game e.g countryside / driving and a decent length So worth checking if you haven’t given it a spin.
I got screwed over so many times with both pre-ordering and early access, that I never pre-order again and I very rarely buy early access games. I honestly don’t really buy any game at full price anymore and I only buy early access if a developer hasn’t abandoned a previous game and releases regular updates, unless if they have a really good reason to leave a long time between updates (looking at you Detail Valley).
The PS5 lets me play Gran Turismo with VR. and turn by using the gyro function on the controller, effectively mimicking a dedicated steering wheel by turning the controller itself rather than stick steering. I could use a wheel, but without a dedicated space to keep the wheel, setting it up and packing it down is just too much of an issue. Gyro steering gives me much of the same control as a wheel does, but without the hassle.
So gyro steering and VR together was a game changer for me. They were so amazing that I can’t play racing games any other way now…
But VR on the PS5 is basically dead in the water, so hardly any games support it, and gyro steering is basically unheard of in most racing games. So it’s pretty much Gran Turismo…
In theory it’s technically possible to use the PS VR headset on my PC, and configure gyro steering, but so far, the combination of getting them all working and configured correctly AND finding a game that supports it all has defeated me…
Last, and only time, I ever got to preorder was BioShock Infinite. Got the game an a guidebook ( still have that guidebook, even if I’ve never really used it ). Was kinda lackluster, IMO, but at least I got the game and didn’t have to wait outside for hours like my brother did for GTA V.
Nowadays I stay away from preorders because they’re basically all digital and you don’t even get anything besides maybe early access for a week and some useless cosmetic things that eventually get handed out to everyone who wants to buy it. At least in the case of triple AAA games.
I haven’t seen much for preordering for indie titles besides being a kickstarter backer. Even then, I was able to not be a kickstarer for one of my favorite gamed released the last couple years ( Broke the InvestiGator ) and still managed to snag some of the leftover kickstarter rewards. Never backed one besides a tie-in comic for the game, so not much of an opinion either way since I don’t have enough experience to say one way or another.
As for early access, it depends on the game and if it either looks interesting to me and/or if I’ve seen someone else play it and looks fun. It’s the main reasons I got into games like Peggle, Shotgun King, Dungeon Clawler, etcetera. All games I saw plenty of videos on and/or played demos of, if they had a demo.
I don’t have a problem with early access so long as your game isn’t early access throughout its whole life cycle. A game that has been in development as early access for 3 years? At that point, if you’re still giving updates, why not put it in alpha or beta and be upfront about it? I swear some devs don’t do that so they can just disregard all criticism of their title because It’S sTiLl In EaRlY aCcEsS.
