Just the other day I did the new Hitman celebrity mission with snoop. Call me "the pound" because I just put the dog down on the first try.

That got me back into my old library. Oddly enough, I was not expecting to replay the VR classic, "Job Simulator", but I did! And I forgot how much fucking fun that little game is!

Also, the one game I always recommend that keeps slipping through the cracks is

"The Last Clockwinder". It is a 10/10.

You record a loop of your body movements and leave behind a robotic clone, repeating those movements. Then, you do it over and over until you have a room filled with robots all working together to solve a puzzle. It's fuckin brilliant. Perfect use of VR technology.

Your description reminds me of the puzzles in Ratchet and Clank: Crack in Time, which had similar sounding mechanics. 

Doing that in VR sounds fantastic.

Please check it out! It's one of those indie games that I will always desperately try to get people playing. This game is one of the reasons the PSVR2 exists.

I was the same way with "STATIK: Institute of Retention" on the VR1. That game needs to be ported over so badly. That game was as entertaining as "Portal" to me, and I'm not saying that as an exaggeration. It was that smart.

Same with clockwinder!

Clockwinder is goated af. Nailing the perfect combo is so satisfying.

u/kapucheeno 3d ago

how many hours to complete Last Clockwinder?

u/gogoALLthegadgets 3d ago

I can’t say as I haven’t finished it, but also am one of those neurotic people who try to beat each level before moving on. Basically you get graded on how many clones you use to complete each level and I like to either use the least or 1-2 less when possible before I consider it “completed”. It’s the game I look most forward to playing when I can set aside time for it.

u/doc_nano 1d ago

I’d guess it took me somewhere between 5 and 8 hours, but I’m sure it varies a ton. It’s not a long game but you can spend a lot of time experimenting and perfecting your solutions… or just goofing off. Really an ingenious game, there’s nothing quite like it out there, and the music and voice acting are pretty good too.

Love it. GT7 I haven't played it a without vr2 since getting it. Its insanely good on base ps5 alone..

u/Visible-Run-6205 3d ago

Yeap i upgraded to pro for gt7 and its marginal improvement but games that good.

3

u/rifran 3d ago

So. I owned a vr1 and enjoyed it (wish they'd bring eve to vr2) but ultimately felt it wasn't supported enough. Wasn't going to get vr2 but then they announced it for gt7 and I was like...ok...new logitech wheel, race seat, ,vr2 and never looked back.

At this point, ive seen the improvements for ps5 pro and very tempted. If gta6 ever does vr or states ps5 pro enhanced, I think that would be thr trigger for me.

u/mattyg1027 3d ago

Have they not announced GTA will be PS5 Pro enhanced? That would be extremely odd, no?

"Grand Theft Auto 6 is officially listed as PS5 Pro Enhanced on the PlayStation Store" says Google

I'm having a great time with Maestro, Walk about mini golf, Arizona Sunshine Freddy's bundle! (Both games + dlc's) & GT 7 at the moment

u/Zealousideal-Neck289 3d ago

No man's sky is awesome. Building a spaceship than chilling in it in vr.

u/astrobe1 4d ago

Yep bootstrap island is my current game of choice. Recently bought the flight stick for MSFS so need to get that setup as well. I’ve had PSVR2 from day one and never stopped using making it my most used gadget next to PS5.

u/Crunchewy 3d ago

MSFS is honestly amazing even though not perfect. It’s an incredible experience in VR. And now the Hotas 5 is fully supported in PS5/Hotas 5 mode (I did have to do another reset of all controllers to get it to work right, but now it’s 100%).

u/LudenWhoDare 3d ago

Replaying RE8 (realizing it’s among the best titles) and playing Roboquest, it feels so much better after the last update, except it’s a bit broken with occassional lags

3

u/Some-Professional-25 3d ago

The best and worst thing for me was getting into Hitman freelancer mode in VR. It’s addictive as hell, but means my backlog of games is piling up.

3

u/Visible-Run-6205 3d ago

This is why im intentionally not getting into this even though i own it. Just to many games to play.

1

u/Immediate-Night1044 3d ago

Haven’t touched it for a while now. Not since my daughter played the hubris demo and loved it so I got the game for her. loving it until the hugger jumped on her face she’s not been keen to pickup the vr again. I’m going to get on it today

u/Prometheus-lv 3d ago

I’ve been playing AC shadows during my spare time tbh, but I’d like to go back to Alien Rogue Incursion. I’m just bummed because you only get 5 save points with it and it keeps overwriting the oldest save. I missed a trophy opportunity so it’s on the bench now. However I did purchase an additional Devaso head strap to go with my AMVR CM1. Moreover, I too am protesting Sony’s all digital library imposition on us, so trying to play lowkey, atm.

u/calico810 3d ago

My absolute favorites: Half Life Alyx, Beat Saber, Resident Evil 4 Remake

u/BoardsofGrips 3d ago

I recommend RE7 if you haven't played it. It was designed for VR.

u/Icecold_Antihero 2d ago

Maestro! Has hand tracking to conduct an orchestra! It's surprisingly a good work out for your shoulders and core muscles. Also you can throw things at the French dude.

I just got Hitman and it's really fun in VR

u/mattikake2010 3d ago edited 3d ago

I'll be selling my lot soon.

I play Aces of Thunder and the only Hotas approved by Sony is dogsht. I'm on my 3rd since February and now need a 4th.

GT7 realism has been decimated by the latest update and the uneducated arcade mongs think this is a good thing.

Other VR games - COTM, Stellaris, NMS, Cities VR are minor requirements.

Now Sony have decided we don't own games. Their woke and automated T&C's policy is an ever-present threat to cancel services you've already paid for...

So when Aces gets PC cross play and AC Evo 1.0 drops, I'm done with PS forever as there will literally be no point in owning a PS5 any more.

So watch eBay, there will be a games loaded PS5 + PSVR2 + TM Hotas 5 joystick (a new working one under warranty) going. £1300 of games and hardware, I'm thinking £1000 is a good starting price.

u/BoardsofGrips 3d ago

You think the Japanese are "woke"?

Also as a PC only gamer the idea of physical games is strange to me. I have not bought a physical game since 2009.

u/Decent-Part7385 3d ago

What did the uodate do!?!? GT7??

u/mattikake2010 3d ago edited 3d ago

It turned it from simcade to arcade. In fact not even that, it turned into a game with stupid unrealisms to force players to play it like a game, rather than a sim/simcade.

It's dead to me. There are no other VR "Sims" on PS5 so the whole console is now redundant.

I'll play and have fun, but when the PC versions of games are ready, so will I be.

Just currently debating if it's worth keeping the PSVR2 for the PC or get a Quest 3.

1

u/supermanscottbristol 2d ago

Definitely keep the psvr2. Its a lot lighter on the face for sat down gaming. Also they've got foveated rendering working and stuff. If you're gonna do on your feet stuff then the Q3 has the wireless advantage.

u/mattikake2010 2d ago

Useful comment.

The Quest 3 is roughly the same weight as the PSVR2, but are you saying it's front heavy?

I use a head sweatband with my PSVR2 and it's very comfortable and doesn't slip.

The Quest battery life is crap for wireless (2 hours is practically one league sim racing round), so I will need extra batteries, which will add weight and change the headset balance.

1

u/supermanscottbristol 2d ago

Wow i had no idea. My q3 definitely feels like its pulling down on my face significantly more than my Psvr2 does. Im guessing the Globular Cluster is making all the difference on the psvr2.

Dont get me wrong, both are comfortable but the q3 has always felt significantly more weighty on my face. How strange!

You don't own vehicles either. You rent them of petrol companies. Gona stop buying fuel aswell?

u/ItWasMyWifesIdea 2d ago

I don't know about the rest of your post, but calling corporate anti-consumer practices "woke" is stupid. You're just applying "woke" to something you don't like, it has nothing to do with being "woke" or is the opposite if it applies at all

u/mattikake2010 2d ago edited 2d ago

"Woke" as they have proven to be interpreting their T&C's policies. For e.g. players receiving bans for having a dukes of hazard livery on a dodge charger. Or siding with a deliberate rammer... because they had an LGBTQA+ livery on their car. Or giving people warnings because someone complained about being called harsh words like "you're dirty" after being rammed off the track. Or as in one case for me receiving a warning for literally saying "?" in the chat after someone who was a PSN friend (no longer), rammed me off the track in bad losership.

The latter three being clear siding-with-the-victim default mentality wokeness.

The cases are numerous and are regularly reported on FB.

Sony are woke liberals, clearly on the side of the WEF and globalist agenda of "you will own nothing and be happy" with their move to temporary digital licences with game and their frequent exploit of CCR, price fixing. Woke is a globalist mind psyop strategy that they have encoded into academia.

That kind of WOKE. The enemy of humanity itself and the side in the ideolocial war which will eventually inevitably, lose.

Get therapy.

u/mattikake2010 2d ago

What? From one of the corrupt doctors who exist to prop up the $tn pharmaceutical industry that preys on people deliberately made sick by the $tn big food sugar industry?

More victims of the psyop mind control programme that "woke" is part of. No thanks.

Wake up. Your entire life is a lie.

u/Ayrios440 4d ago edited 4d ago

Really? It's still just a forgotten child. 

Any games that come out now are low level slop. 

EDIT: Downvoting me is cute, but it doesn't change the truth.

u/CHROME-COLOSSUS 3d ago

True.

As long as you ignore all the awesome stuff, like MICROSOFT FLIGHT SIM 2024, ROBOQUEST, BOOTSTRAP ISLAND, FNAF SECRET OF THE MIMIC, etc. etc.
