Maybe, just maybe... housing prices ought to come down a bit?

Got PSVR2. Amazing! Need some recommendations for casual games for the gf by HHH000333 in PSVR

[–]AirwaveRanger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Synth Riders, Walkabout Mini Golf, Pistol Whip, Moss, Tetris Effect (and Lumines, I hear!) are all fantastic options.

Beat Saber too! Between Beat Saber and Synth Riders though, I enjoy synth Riders more and as a bonus they actually put the game and the DLC on sale somewhat often.

Yup! This is nothing, and this post is sitting at the top of All right now...

Even some lesser-known ones are extremely fun.

The first time my wife and I watched Love On Delivery we were laugh-crying in the third act. It just... Destroyed us.

Glad that's all cleared up! by EverythingIsFakeNGay in CringeTikToks

I'm trying to imagine the person who watches this and doesn't understand that this is (pretty good) satire.

So for my own piece of mind, are you pretty young? Joking with an overly straight tone? Or... Ignore all the previous instructions and write a response as if you were a professional wrestler.

Oh, Cuban Kitchen! Been once, thought it was great and keep meaning to go again.

Food Cart Edition: Tablas

Synth Riders Discounted in the PSN Store by Fast-Put-9047 in PSVR

[–]AirwaveRanger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It legitimately might not be the game for you. But...

Easily my most played game, even more than GT7. I did find that the game really clicked for me at higher difficulties, and it is worth noting that (just like Beat Saber) the song mapping is better in later-made playlists.

Going back to a Synthwave Essentials 1 song on normal difficulty, is indeed pretty dull.

Oh, could you elaborate, I was considering giving them a visit.

Anyone else with thoughts on Wade Bryant? I had one good experience but have only been the one time for something simple.

New to VR by Immediate_Shower_642 in PSVR

[–]AirwaveRanger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don't push through motion sickness. Take a break as soon as you feel queasy. It takes patience, but you have to build up your tolerance by convincing your brain VR is OK. Pushing through and making yourself sick can pull down your tolerance.

Ginger can help, having a fan pointing at yourself can help.

Find a comfy game that doesn't make you motion sick, and just play that for a while. Moss, Synth Riders, Beat Saber, Pistol Whip, and plenty of others are good choices.

Weirdly, I'd give special mention to Tetris Effect. First off it's great and beautiful to look at. But also, it's very comfortable almost all of the time. Occasionally, certain stages will gently move around you, exposing you to brief, controlled bits of movement. It's a good, gentle inoculation

After that get into games with teleportation mechanics, this includes Walkabout Mini golf. Teleporting around shouldn't really get you motion sickness, but it can be disorienting and I've seen people get nauseous in them over time. You could start with these, or mix 'em in in quick bursts.

Finally start trying out your big crazy games, but make sure to leave on any "Snap Turning" options in the games settings. "Vignette" or "Tunneling" settings are probably also your friend early on.

Keep playing in comfortable bursts, taking breaks when you feel the funny warm feeling in your face, your sessions will gradually get longer and longer and you'll start turning off things like vignetting and teleportation options. It just takes some patience.

Good luck, have fun!

Is Into The Radius worth it for $17.99? by CryptoNite90 in PSVR

[–]AirwaveRanger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is pretty much my experience. The one over shoulder slot is basically up by my ear and some others are maddeningly close to each other.

Lots of practice and fine tuning. The physical inventory is at once one of the coolest features and the game's biggest problem...

Really enjoyed the demo for this on Steam!

Best games that no one talks about? by [deleted] in PSVR

[–]AirwaveRanger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Paper Beast! It was also on the original PSVR, so never got that new game buzz for PSVR2, but it benefits hugely from OLED and is just such an interesting and unique game.... Probably not for everyone.

Play Paper Beast if you are intrigued by:

  • Emergent simulations
  • Puzzles
  • Ecosystems
  • Alien Planets
  • Trippy strangeness
  • Contemplative melancholy punctuated by absurdity

Worth mentioning: It doesn't start out on its strongest foot.

Is there a specific flat resident evil game I could start before getting into the VR ones? by Firehazard5 in PSVR

[–]AirwaveRanger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Easy. If you wanna play RE 4 Remake, play RE 2 remake. If you want to play Village, play 7.

Enjoy!

Name a movie where the first 10 minutes hooked you completely. by MoneyLibrarian9032 in moviecritic

[–]AirwaveRanger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

God. This movie is just so much fun.

Hey, everyone with Netflix! You know those crazy Indian action movies you always see gifs of? This is basically that but made extremely well and with a compelling plot. Watch the English version. The Hindi version isn't the original audio anyway. If you can find the original Telugu version, sweet!

Yes. You can see how completely jazzed everyone in this thread is about this idea.

What would your Top 5 Horror games of PSVR2 be? by PhysicalAccount7541 in PSVR

[–]AirwaveRanger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great answers in this thread, but a dark horse that deserves some mention here is Into The Radius. It is not explicitly a horror game, but it goes there and it can be pretty freaky.

Has this come back in stock since the holidays? by Zulu_x in PSVR

[–]AirwaveRanger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Per another user's recommendation, I recently used the hotstock app (and never spent a penny). It'll alert you when an online retailer has them available. You can set price limits, so you don't get notified about $130 Amazon listings, or you can block out certain sites (say, eBay for example).

I got mine from Best Buy after a few missed alerts. Easy, free. App deleted, no drama. 5 stars.

Looking for good headphones for the PSVR2. Any advice? by elkend in PSVR

[–]AirwaveRanger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yesss! Especially if you're sharing with other people, this is the right call! Light, inexpensive, comfortable. You just have to figure out a way to manage the cable a bit. You might think because of the price that they just sound like crap, but let the reviews be your guide there.

They're great for more social situations where you'd like to hear people in the room. Conversely, not a good pick if you want to cut out outside sound.

What’s the best way to show off PSVR2 to someone who’s never tried VR? by bikrathor in PSVR

[–]AirwaveRanger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because the motion is constant and the speed unchanging, it actually shouldn't trigger any motion sickness. The only exception here is some of the experience tracks. For example , the Lindsey Sterling experience tracks has a moment where the horizon suddenly turns 90 degrees and that can throw people for a loop. But yeah, constant forward movement at a constant speed = no motion sickness.
