Finished my first full VR game in Resident Evil 7. It was very fun, but the PSVR really does need an upgrade. That and of course it'll benefit from being attached to stronger hardware in general. Sometimes just sprinting in the game, it'd take a few seconds for the resolution/textures to stabilize, creating a really eye-straining headache effect.

Are you sure that's the game causing it, and not your brain/sight?

@Dezzy Lmao, no, it's definitely the game. But it's worth noting that it's easy for the lenses to get greasy and cause general bluriness, but that wasn't the issue here.

Fair enough. I wouldn't have thought you could move fast enough in RE7 for it to cause any loading problems though.
Also, doesn't VR just render the same scene twice from 2 different perspectives?

@Dezzy Yeah, that's also the reason why VR in general looks "worse" by default compared to non-VR games played on the same console. And the fact that VR pretty much requires a high frame rate, and can't sacrifice frame rate for resolution.

Just got the confirmation that The Last of Us Part II is on its way to my mailbox! Anyone else planning on playing it this week?

I wish you could get digital codes for Playstation from other retailers but Sony banned it. Would make it a lot easier and cheaper for me to afford but hopefully going to play it soon if not this week

Also if anyone wanted to see this then Spiderman Miles Morales has been confirmed by Insomniac as between 5-10 hours (orignal was about 15 hours although it seemed like it was longer than that when i played)

Lol so the user score for the Last of Us 2 is currently 3.3. Compared to the 9.5 critic rating.

Is that all trolls or is it genuinely one of those games where the critics fail to represent the audience, like the Last Jedi?

@Dezzy I highly doubt that all those people had the time to play through the game, let it sink in and formulate a proper opinion. Even if I don't agree with the direction of the story, I highly doubt I would score it a 0/10. It has to be completely unplayable for it to get a score like that IMO.

@Octane
Agreed. I've spoiled the entire story for myself and I think it's complete trash. That said, I've watched a good number of videos and just from those I can tell the gameplay is a big step up. I think this will be the opposite of TLoU 1. That game was carried by the story, Part II's mediocre story will be carried by stellar gameplay.

Well yeah obviously people exaggerate if they hate something. Like when people gave Mass Effect 3 0/10 scores based on the ending. Obviously no-one thought the actual game was 0/10. It was brilliant right up until the last hour. It was just a way of expressing their extreme disappointment.

But it still reflected genuine dislike. In reality, it probably meant something like "This felt like a 10/10 game up until the end, but now it feels like a 7/10 game. So even if the whole game is still good on average, my disappointment is quite extreme."

@Dezzy I don't know. I haven't played the game, and I doubt those review bombing have. I'll judge the game when I see the credits roll.

It feels like every big exclusive gets review-bombed these days. It'll go back up once metacritic removes the 0/10 scores, like they have with a bunch of other releases.

@Ralizah That is true. If the scores were 3/10 it is more like it. But also most big exclusives are getting 10/10 from critics while a big portion of the independent reviewers are giving a game 4-5/10.

It does not seem right as most game critics does not event play those games.

Spider-Man was not bombed - https://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-4/marvels-spider-man
God of War was not bombed - https://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-4/god-of-war
RDR2 was not bombed - https://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-4/red-dead-redemp...

So maybe there is a reason TLOU2 is. Just saying.

For anyone curious, Cyberpunk will be upgraded for PS5 free of charge.

@Zuljaras Astral Chain, BotW, and other almost universally praised big releases were review bombed as well.

All a game being review-bombed means is that people want to reduce the user score for whatever reason.

@Ralizah Awesome! Too bad it's 2021 though. I was hoping for a patch as soon as the next gen systems came out. But playing on a PS5 will still be a better experience than on a vanilla PS4.

@Zuljaras Yep. Same for other review bombed games.

Metacritic has been removing hundreds of troll reviews for big games during review bombing campaigns. It can pretty dramatically alter the user score afterward.

Sometimes it's defensible (the PC port of RDR2 was apparently poorly optimized at launch, and it kicked off a review bombing campaign for that game), but oftentimes it's literally just because people are salty about console exclusivity.

The user score average usually recovers after metacritic steps in, though, so the only way to tell if something was review bombed afterward is if you can find articles about it.

This happens with some movies too, btw.

Been playing TLOU2 for a while and it's pretty amazing graphics and very panicky gameplay at times. Will have to take a break soon because this game is stressful....i'll need to play some Animal Crossing to calm down!!
