I would say just go back to patreon and copy the RSS Link again. As long as you're still paying and getting the other patreon content. The RSS link should work.

What app are you using? I use Pocket Cast and that seems pretty solid

That is one excellent trailer

Votes are in.

I feel like I played a lot of games that I liked but found hard to separate them. Happy with the top 8 though.

Also think I mentioned this last year. I think I'd prefer we just have a higher points total. As in if we're doing top 8 then Number 1 should be worth 8 points and Number 7 worth 2. As is, I just feel like the honorable mentions just really struggle.

It made me even more tempted to look into Valve Index again... Half Life Alyx just looked so good and that system appears to really nail it's tracking.

@scotty

So I'll just start off by saying that I do really dislike the move controllers, I've said this before and will continue to. The tracking (whether it's my setup or not) is just really rubbish at times and unfortunately that's the same here.

The other big negative for this game is that once you've picked a difficulty, you're set. They patched in a Hard difficulty and I just went with that but due to the tracking, I had a good few moments where I was pretty frustrated due to getting killed pretty quick and the rough tracking.

Now with that out of the way, I think the game is kinda what you'd expect, just a constant blockbuster once you're in gameplay. It really digs into the cockney gangster scene while going a step further in terms of international organisations. Game is mostly pretty well acted and does have a lot of story moments in there.

The gameplay itself is a mix of high octane action, think a lot of setpieces with slow motion or driving sequences, sliding sequences etc and you move around from cover to cover.

The other thing I found difficult is aiming down sights, I was kinda similar with Farpoint and Firewall but I felt it was most difficult here so I usually stuck to machine guns as much as possible.

But ya... I would say it's fun and I wish the tracking was a whole lot better. It's no Astro Bot in terms of Sony exclusives but it can be a good time for sure as long as you don't get frustrated by difficulty like I did.

Blood & Truth

Total - 1

I saw Uncut Gens at TiFF and I actually hated it because the movie made me feel so frustrated and uncomfortable but as I left the cinema I did keep saying "I think this is exactly how the movie wants me to feel" but ya... I don't think I could watch that movie again.

Just very quick top 3. Probably The Farewell, Parasite and Knives Out for me. Maybe The Lighthouse but I feel like I still need to digest.

Mod Note - Topic being locked. @B-Cell Another topic like this that doesn't actually explain what you want to discuss clearly and that is just being used to lambaste future games you haven't even played, will lead to a ban

@sheria Possibly but I still think the controllers/tracking is a huge issue with PSVR

@tokyoslim Agreed. I saw it at TIFF and while I didn't think it was extremely funny, it was always consistently funny and entertaining.

@b-cell You mean like how Half Life 2 was used to push that stupid thing called Steam?

Thought that trailer was fantastic. I wanted to wait at least another full year before thinking of GPU upgrades and going all in on PC VR but god damn am I tempted to move that to March now.

This game has been rumored for a good year now. I'm very intrigued

Ya, became a patreon instantly and can't wait to properly dig into their content. I think Ben did an incredible job with the GI Show and I loved things like the game club so I'm in.

Lot of Sony business news today. Zhuge has a few tweets so may be worth checking out more details

Mod Note - Acidtrip-69 has been permanently banned for several infringments over the last few weeks.

I've removed some of the last few posts (apologies) due to the thread being pretty much totally derailed but left the majority from the last day since there were some very well written posts on the subject.

If you have any questions regarding this, please DM me or another mod. I don't want the topic to be derailed any further, thanks.

Haha, I love this. I need to just go back and browse on Dreams

I'm totally fine with that response. I'm certain we'll get something standalone.

@ezekiel You might have a better time playing grounded mode, doesn't have the listen mode but it is tough.

Absolutely cannot wait for TLoU2 but the no multiplayer news is definitely a big disappointment for me. It's amazing in the first game.

I'm just hoping (not much) that they release something standalone down the road or maybe dlc. Although I think people would hate the idea of multiplayer dlc.

Just on it too, I thought they had a multiplayer focused team but either they have been molded into all other parts or they're working on something.
