It's a shame Cyberpunk 2077 had so many bugs at launch and they botched it. Cuz now it's actually a really decent game and looks really great at high settings.
- Do the cars still drive like shit? That was my biggest complaint. That, and all the side missions that were literally the same thing over and over.section_014

Been getting into detective games lately, highly recommend Return of the Obra Dinn, and just getting into The Case of The Golden Idol.

@Longcopylover VR post:
Definitely worth it, but don't start with driving games, flight simulators, rollercoaster things and such.
From my own experience it's best to take it easy first and "build a tolerance" for the motion sickness part. I've tried "Aircar" on the same day I got my Oculus delivered, and it was not a good idea.
Aircar being this:
I guess the inital queasiness problem for pretty much everyone is the disconnect between what your eyes tell you and what your body feels (you might "see" you are moving but your body would not feel the .. gravity, physics, whatever). You'll need your time to get used to it.
It took me about a week to feel comfortable enough to try Dirt Rally. 20 min sessions and then a break, cold sweats and all. After another week I was all good and played Elite Dangerous, Dirt Rally, Project Cars and that feckin' Aircar for hours, no problems whatsoever. Well, except the whole escapist aspect of it, but it was back in early 2020, lockdowns, so no real regerts there :)
Then again, that was me and everyone is different. Safest option would be to get a "30 days money back guarantee" type of deal.
- +1 to all this. I've got PSVR and went through similar. Now WipEout in VR is fun. I've tried GTA on the VR2 and it's incredible. Will be buying!MrT
- I threw up once playing half life Alyx, that game was beautiful though, never finished it.YakuZoku
- Gran Turismo not GTA and sorry you threw up.MrT
- Your body uses both vision and the inner ear vestibular system to work out its position. If there is a mismatch (your vision tells you your head is moving)drgs
- but your vestibular system does not register any g-forces, you get sickdrgs
- Thanks, all advice appreciated. Don't want to ruin it...Longcopylover

I'm not a gamer, never really was except some, Indiana Jones, Civilization and NHL on the PC in the 90ies and early 2000s.
But wow, I am so tempted to get a PS5 with VR2 just to drive some cars faster than you are allowed on real streets.
- test it before you buy it. some people get queasyimbecile

- ^^ good advice. I tried someone's Oculus and did not like it. Instantly felt like I was on a boat.section_014
- I sure will test, it's way too expensive not to. But it seems to be much better than Oculus for the motion sickness part.Longcopylover
- I just learned people actually can get motion sickness from animated gifs and animation in films. I've gotten it beforekaiyohtee

Way better than I was expecting—some of those early promo vids the game looked terrible. I'm only 3-4 hours in and it's fun! The attention to detail in HW is pretty cool.
- Tempted on this one; is it a kids game?
I've got an 8-9 year old who may be keen BUT also no need for MORE games I guess?!ideaist - They seem to made this for a wide variety of age groups. More complex than the Logo games. Seems to be more for those 12+ (there is a lot of lore to read).kaiyohtee
- Looking forward to pirating thisscarabin
- Looks fun, going to have to wait for april for PS4, though. I heard you can ramp up the difficulty and it can get pretty brutal!elahon

Just bought Rollerdrome. Runs great on my underpowered system with my found-in-the-trash graphics card.
Much fun, gorgeous graphics.

- Check the reviews therescarabin
- Around 3/4 of reviews are 4-star and up. Seems like as long as you have a USB keyboard and better controllers it'd be ok.5timuli
- But I've been burned by cheap knock-off shite on Amazon before. It seems to all be nameless Chinese factory crap these days.5timuli
- Then, ^
It's on Amazon. I'd not trust that shit for shit.Nairn - I bought one on Aliexpress. For retro games they are ok. The problem is that some games are incomplete. And yes, the controllers are pretty crappy.pablo28

My current favorite Switch games that I'm playing with the Egg NS emulator.
Blasphemous
Prodeus
Valfaris
Katana Zero
Dead Cells
- Wrong video last one, Dead Cells here https://www.youtube.…NBQ00
- Loved the look of Blasphemous, it got pretty difficult for me (ever since Wizards and Warriors, I've disliked platformers), but this game is solid!kaiyohtee
- Been playing dead cells and valfaris myself. Had an eye on blasphemous; i’ll check it outscarabin
- You should try Prodeus too, it's also on Xbox Cloud.NBQ00
- Will do!scarabin

Been playing Rollerdrome lately. It takes a while to get use to everything going on, but flying in slow motion upside down through the air and shooting a guy with dual pistols, or one handing a shotgun while grinding never gets old.
Also the clean Mobius art style rocks.
Its out on Playstation and Steam- Doing tricks gives you ammo, but you can never bail which is nice.Nutter

- You can also turn on cheat modes (unlimited ammo/health) when it gets too hard to juggle all the controls and it starts to feel like a grind (pun intended)koma_
- Only had a little blast and it was a blast. Worth sticking with yea?MrT
- Looks like it would run on my underpowered systemjagara
