SirSmUgly Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 PSVR2 isn't backwards compatible. That's nutty. There are so few killer apps for PSVR2, and locking people out of Astrobot: Rescue Mission is crazy. They should have at least ported it ahead. I don't see a compelling reason to get a VR headset. Unless Nintendo makes a Virtual Boy 2, in which case, take my fucking money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLSigman Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Ah, so there's a new Overwatch character? From Thailand? He's pansexual? Siri, show me what Activision-Blizzard is attempting to distract from this time! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Wilson Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Loop Hero was surprise-dropped on gamepass. Very happy, been wanting to try it but it looked weird so I didn't want to pay for it and then hate it. About four hours in, its both dumb and very addicting. Recommended if you have gamepass to give it a whirl. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Yeah, I just noticed and grabbed it. I dig the amount of stuff Gamepass stealth drops, although I hate when I notice stuff I want to play and see it's leaving before I could realistically finish it (like Octopath) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirSmUgly Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Tchia is an interesting game. The developers wanted to do Breath of the Wild + Wind Waker with a lot of homages to their home culture of New Caledonia. As it turns out, the main story quest is short and mostly doesn't have you doing much of the game's mechanics compared to when you're out in the world (weirdly, a lot of the main story quest takes place doing boring combat inside facilities). It's worth playing if you have the level of PS+ that gives it away. The best open-world games have good traversal mechanics, and this game specifically allows you to catapult off of banana and coconut trees. It's a fun way to get around, at least when you're in an area where there are trees that give you the option. The music is also lovely and the islands are gorgeous. It's a slow starter and the main questline is mediocre, but if you like traveling around beautiful settings exploring and collecting for fifteen or twenty hours, you'll enjoy this well enough.

dragonzombie Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 (edited) Really wanna play RE4 Remake. I played RE4 on Gamecube and PlayStation 2 trillions of years ago. Wish Capcom remake the following games... RE 0, 1, CV. Edited April 6, 2023 by Red King 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've now gotten almost all of the games on PC, just need to decide if I want OG 8 or remastered 8. I adore 8 more than a rational gamer should so I have both. Each has their shortcomings, as you know, and the biggest one to OG 8 for me is (Steamside) the utter headache of controller support for that version. If you're fine with Mouse & Keyboard I'd probably slightly favor that one because it's more authentic to the old experience (actually a port of the 2000 PC version from way back when and actually includes the Pocketstation side game as a novelty), but Remastered 8 doesn't challenge me to Hell In A Cell over wanting to play with a controller so these days I prefer it. Both, fortunately, have the hi-speed option which is IMO mandatory quality of life improvement for playing Triple Triad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Fun fact the one time I played through 8 I mainlined the main story and as such you will never, ever encounter a single game of Triple Triad. I played the shit out of it in FF 14. I farmed good cards and everything I was an evil man. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Went ahead and bought Horizon Forbidden West while it was on sale. Maybe I can beat it before the DLC and/or Zelda come out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Wilson Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 For reasons UNKNOWN considering my backlog I started playing Stardew Valley again, at least I am using a different map this time. I think this is my.... fifth? time playing the game. I started it at 6 PM last night, forgot about dinner and sleeping, finally stopped at 2 AM. I love that game. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm only about 5 hours into it but at least have all the intro stuff out of the way. I just have so many games to catch up on but keep going back to Civ 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Decided to move on to God of War: Ragnarok after my Ghost of Tsushima run. It should be fully installed by the time I get home from work since I started downloading it just before I left. I liked the previous God of War game so this one should be a good time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They took the first game, added a bunch of side stuff that wasn't particularly fun, and gave Aloy a BotW-style glider. The first game + Frozen Wilds is a classic, IMO, but Forbidden West was bloated mediocrity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 The main story of Forbidden West was good, even if a little bloated. The side stuff was a chore and not nearly engaging as Zero Dawn's was. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirSmUgly Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Yeah, I enjoyed the story. That and the voice acting were top-notch as with the first game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 I'm just about to get to the embassy stuff. I'm slow playing and doing all the side quest. The one thing that's bugging me is some of the "?" don't seem to be where they are supposed to be. And I found one green item that is apparently in the middle of the rocks.

Craig H Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 This year's MLB: The Show is finally available for Game Pass subscribers. I nearly wound up buying it for $70 because I didn't think it would be a free game on Game Pass. I'm glad I waited. It's great as usual, but I only messed around with Road to the Show.

Raziel Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Haven't done anything besides RttS, but I plan on going into the Negro League stuff because I heard it's an amazing history lesson about the players. Once I get all the timings down I'll mess with Franchise but I don't go near Diamond Dynasty. I really like how they streamlined all the My Player stuff and have all the loadout, equipment, and appearance stuff in the same place instead of having to bounce different menu's all together like last year. RttS' opening is better as it's less of a reach to get drafted by your team if you want to play in your team's system, or can go for a random. I'm glad i'm only a month in and won't be too mad about restarting because I forgot to grab the Opening Day and Full Minor's roster file, as the default rosters are... questionable.
