Been playing absolum with my buddy, as well as playing Tainted Grail since it was on sale. Absolum is an incredible co-op game, and tainted grail surprised me with how much I’ve enjoyed it. Really happy with them both all around.
I’m glad i gave it a shot, and managed to stay blind. Honestly really loved it (so much so it went on my favorite games list). I honestly see myself replaying this yearly.
It feels a bit empty after beating everything from all the runs to the achievements. I miss it already, which definitely means the game made the right kind of impact on me. I conflictingly want more, but don’t want the experience to be soured by more.
World Machine Edition was also how i played. I think the only thing you’re really missing out on (as far as i know) is the original map designs and Niko being able to die if you close the game, which honestly, is a welcome change even if i think the original idea was better. I know there’s times where i need to walk away suddenly
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.
Fast motion where it’s in my peripheral vision as well as primary field of view gives me nausea even with pretty strong VR legs.
Sometimes games (and headsets) will have a comfort mode which adds a vignette around the peripheral vision when there’s high movement. That usually helps lower motion sickness.
I know the Meta Quest 3 and 3s have this feature built in. For PCVR with other headsets, often games have this feature built in. Usually it’s called “comfort mode” or something similar. It’s a standard in VR UX.
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.
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.
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).
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.
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.
I felt exactly the same way with (combat) flight sims.
Without VR, a lot of it was practicing maneuvers and attitudes as the target or the airfield would be out of my view most of the time. With VR, it just feels right, you can just keep the target in sight and move yourself into position. Your sense of distance and attitude is also 100% better. I can fly altitudes better, dogfight much better and so on.
You also get a much better sense of the whole plane, how big it is, how it moves around, and it also is tons more immersive. I can do 2 hour flights without getting bored easy in VR - not that you don’t get hella tired from that.
It’s a game changer with non-combat flight sims too. Camera-attached face tracking is a great secondary option, but that ability to move the camera with your head instead of using a controller input is so freeing.
