So games I have atm that support the PSVR are..

Resident Evil 7
Rise of the Tomb Raider
Star Wars Battlefront
Drive Club
Geometry Wars 3
Final Fantasy XV
Fallout 4 (update incoming)
Skyrim (update incoming)

Plus cinematic mode for other games and when watching movies.


Games that I will want anyways that can or will also support PSVR:

Ace Combat 7
Gran Turismo Sport
Rez Infinite
Farpoint
Dirt Rally


So then the question is are these games worth playing in VR?
Certainly I can say the most worth it would probably be Ace Combat 7 and Gran Turismo to me..
But after that whats coming out? Sony didn't showcase PSVR to the degree I hoped for at E3.

I guess I should consider the fact that PSVR even though nearing the 2 year mark, is still in its infancy. Also perhaps by the time it does really take off, a version 2 of the hardware might be out.
Also its only available in white.. I have all my entertainment center stuff in black. That would just totally clash like as if...

I guess my biggest fear is that both of these at one point or another will collect dust for months after I go through the honey moon phase with it.

I could spend my money on something else but the cool factor of both these devices draws me in.

In the end what ill do is just go back to playing MLB The Show religiously as I always do.
Literally just got Mass Effect Andromeda, played for 20 minutes and went back to MLB.

Ok so just sold my old PS4 like I said I would.
Got more than I thought too.
Then tried to find a Switch at all the big box retailers.. couldnt find it.
Finally decided to check out this small shop. Boom they had it and in all black like I want..
Then it just hit me.

What the hell am I doing? I still haven't finished countless games in my back log. Especially Persona 5, Mass Effect Andromeda (which ive barely touched) and Horizon Zero Dawn.

Do I really need to spend over ¥50,000 right now?
So I walked out the door with my cash in hand.
Fuck me right? I still want it but thats alot of money for a system I dont think ill be playing even half as much as the PS4 Pro.

This needs to sit in the oven for me abit.

Hay guyz I just got a Switch :lol:

I sold a ton of shit I didnt need anymore in my life. Like half my movie collection which was half garbage anyways. Like half my PS3 games of which zero fucks and or on PS4 in better fashion now. Other crap too like a guitar I haven't touched in years and have no desire too. So combine that with my old PS4 money and I got some stacks lined up. Got the Switch and Mario Kart 8 without spending anything extra.
I hyped. I love this thing so far. Its such a.. REAL system. It doesn't feel gimicky at all. It almost feels like a Sony product. You could honestly fool me on that.
And I got Mario Kart first cause thats what I can play with my wife right away so she doesnt get mad I got something new just for me.. it's for us.. Yup! =D>

I'll get Zelda soon enough. Although really can just play some more PS4 games for awhile too. But Mario is dope and that will be enough reason to have a Switch for awhile.


Oh ya and gimme friend codes! I need friends on this thing asap! (eww.. friend codes..)

Mine is
SW-6600-3863-0131

Awesome. But please don't spoil anything for me. I generally like to keep myself in the dark about every game I want to play. ;)

The Switch with the wife.
Mario Kart 8 we are having fun. But..
Sniper Clips we are having a blast. After playing the demo we were hooked and immediately bought it. What a delightfully smart game. Having a couple drinks and yelling at each other "Ok now cut my head off!" "Don't stick it in there" etc. So many sexual innuendos and nonsense. GOTY lol

Nintendo be like

You know even though I already made my decision to buy the Switch and have throughly been enjoying it, I finally saw a PSVR on the shelves here in Japan. Usually they are grossly over priced due to a lack of availability. I'm talking double mark up on it. The demand here from perverted otaku is high. So I thought maybe I should buy it and resell it online in one of the Japanese online market places and make some money. Then I checked the going rate and it seems stock has been refreshed across the whole country. Shucks.
And I think Japan is really only interested in PSVR right now. I see nothing on Japanese TV shows talking about oculus or the others. Its totally a PSVR market out here.

Anyways, I still want one for myself but first I want the 5k iMac by the end of this year. Then 4k TV eventually too. Those take priority so I don't know when ill get a PSVR. Maybe I can get a slightly spooged on one randomly though. Or just wait for the next iteration.

The only thing mint about my Xbox One is you and Hugh Grants' brother in-law are on my friends list.

Just saw Batman vs Superman finally. I came in low expectations but in the end damn that was awesome!
Batfleck is good!

People on Splatoon 2 are great. Someone really hand drew this. Just saw and snapped this. (marina is a character in the game)

For the first time I feel disappointed by them. They put us into hype mode about saying the game will be shown at Gamescom but now its no demo or videos?

So will that mean pictures? Like a substantial amount? Cause why tell us so in advance like that only not show off something substantial?

At this point we really need to see some new content. They delayed the game (granted totally welcomed by that) but now we need to see the counter to the delay with some fresh content.
Ya I really hope they have a ton of new screen shots..
My confidence is in them but just show us something solid to gawk at please!

I've made a post on Phantom River Stone which hopefully captures the essential points from the last 3 updates about it, and reduces any confusion.

Great recap. Really helps. Looking forward to the best of possibilities.

Interfaces

Remember our prior discussion about interfaces? Well, the points that I praised on the xbone's behalf will soon be meaningless it seems: MS are overhauling the xbone (in a big way) for the 4th time (2nd time this year) and according to what's been said by those in the alpha test ring, things are really not looking good.

https://www.reddit.com/r/xboxone/comments/6sjmmz/the_case_against_the_new_xbox_ui/

*sigh* they need to do something about this quick, there's hardly anything redeeming about this new UI other than a more versatile guide which is has now introduced new issues.

And remember how the ads didn't bother me because they were visually nice/lively and ordered neatly in a column on the right. Yeah, that's no longer the case, they're right front centre now looking out of place and annoying, presenting things as 'suggested content'.

The home area itself looks to be a visually awful and the fact that they're removing some features (like 50% of pins) baffles me what's going on there. I sincerely hope they reconsider releasing this and think things through a little better what they're actually doing. You gotta question there focus sometimes, they we on the right direction until now.

Honestly, if you haven't already sold your xbone and are content with your other platforms (PC, PS4 etc) now might be a good time to give it some thought. I'm still sticking with it as the majority of my games library/friends is on there and still enjoying what's here and the things to come like backwards compat etc but if you don't have those ties, might be worth reconsidering.

Just thought this was worth bringing up. Let's hope at least sony/PS4 is going in an upwards direction with v5.0...

I saw a news post about that and thought oh good! Then saw its basically still a jumbled mess, just in a different way. In some ways trying to be more like PS4 and Switch yet missing the point altogether still.
Doesn't really change my desire to sell the thing or not. System still doesn't have the games I want and for the foreseeable future. Just need a tipping point like wanting something else enough and being strapped for cash.

The environments look great.
Everything else, no.

Give me your friend codes.
Mine is
SW-6600-3863-0131

Hopefully the game comes to PC.. atleast eventually. Surprised to learn recently that RDR1 never came to PC.

Just had a heart attack with my new 5K iMac.
Incredible optimization by Turn 10 that im able to play Forza 7 at native 4K and 60fps with only the occasional dropped frame. All at high settings and never overclocked the computer at all.
The colors, the motion, the feels. Just holy mother of god..
BUT I played the demo. I didn’t buy the game and wont be for the foreseeable future. Why? Because they completely left out car part modding and customization. Like wtf.. what a shame. Maybe I’ll take a look at Project Cars 2 now..

I disagree with that sentiment. The fans have been begging for this for years and years. It comes up every single Blizzcon. And Blizzard at every turn has said no. If anything, I don't think they had any intention of every launching a Vanilla server and caved solely due to mounting pressure from the player base. Hardcore fans launching their own private vanilla servers and making money off their property was probably the last straw. If they don't provide it, a fan will.
I will definitely play Vanilla WoW if they do include quest tracking and the dungeon finder.
And especially if they leave the gameplay exactly as is where you can grind kite 50 mobs at once. Sick pleasure.

So it's kind of weird, but watching the current Olympics has made me develop an extreme appreciation for figure skating. I've honestly never given a shit about the Olympics before; other people pretend to care, but it's always seemed awfully shallow to me that most only pay attention to any of these events once every four years, and tend to only care about their own country's participants. But whatever the case, somehow figure skating has sunken its claws into me. So much to the extent that I think it might actually develop into a major interest far outside of the Olympics themselves.
I've never taken an interest in any sports or athletic events before, but it occurs to me that this is one of the few that legitimately doubles as an art form, and that's appealing as hell . Some of the performances during the Olympics were actually beautiful enough to hit me in the same way a great piece of music might, where you get lost in how oddly mesmerizing it can be. If I were a younger man, I might have been inspired.
So yeah, never thought I'd say it, but I love this stuff.

It’s been nothing but Hanyu Hanyu Hanyu on TV here. Every station is all about him. Poor Uno-kun. He’s good too. Fernandez also an ace. Ya.. I like the figure skating too. Well maybe it’s more of a respect for the difficulty.

^Completely agree.


And also HOLY SHIT SHENMUE HD COLLECTION..

Guys.. we did it. After all the hastags and pestering and waiting and wondering... wonder no longer. This is real life.. I cant believe we will all be able to walk into a store sometime THIS YEAR and buy the games that started it all again.
I mean think about it..many of us will also download too but, we will all be able to hold a brand new shrink wrapped Shenmue game to peel open and put into a system again.
It's gonna be like I'm 13 again.
Simply mind blowing.

Looks like ill be buying all 2 for every system so 6 total.

It would be amazing if Shenmue 3 would at the least maybe just do a check of your hdd for the Shenmue 1&2 saves and award you an original item or even a move scroll.
