Light Brigade is amazing so far. Shooting a gun with these controllers is next level immersion and feels great.

Glad to hear it. I bought it and am really excited to try it eventually, but I’m still playing Horizon: Call of the Mountain.

man wish I still had access to ebay. My PS5 no man's sky has no text on the front. Some dude selling "misprint label" on ebay for $80. I'd be making bank with this stupid crap. As it is now, I have to return it to amazon til I get one that's not misprinted.

I tried the kayak game a little tonight and felt decently comfortable with everything in the tutorial, but I’m getting wrecked in even the first race. I’m having a hard time keeping the paddle from dragging in the water after some strokes, which is weird, because I’m pretty decent at real kayaking. The boat also seems really sensitive to you moving your body at all. It’s a beautiful game but a little frustrating to control.

Update: I got the hang of it. Just a bit of a learning curve.

Yeah, I watched a couple reviews this morning. Seems like it should've been delayed longer to polish it up. I've heard complaints of low-res graphics, the game in general just not being very scary, and underwhelming use of the haptic feedback.
That's disappointing, but I can't say it is unexpected, because for the past couple of years everything Supermassive Games has released has felt unpolished at launch and you're stuck waiting weeks or months for the patches to roll out so you can finally play the games how they were intended.

That's unfortunate. Although, Horizon: Call of the Mountain had a 79 average, and it was a much better game than those scores suggested, so I'll play it for myself and see eventually.

Yeah but this is sitting at a 69 currently. At least with horizon it had a few really high scores so it was some loved it others didn’t care as much for it

I didn't even notice the Metacritic score for it. There's a few YouTube channels that are dedicated to covering PSVR/PSVR2 games and one specifically (PSVR Without Parole) I trust enough to base my purchases solely on their reviews.

It reviewed lower than I expected, but it's still staying on my wishlist because it doesn't seem to be a terrible game.

Yeah I follow and watched the without parole videos. It seems like a game to play on sale and when and if they hopefully improve the resolution

The Light Brigade is tough, but it's also really satisfying to play. I finally beat the first boss tonight, made it through the next level, and then died in the one after on my first run using the Assault class. It's my favorite so far, although I haven't unlocked the two classes after it yet.

The developers of Switchback are looking into the blurry graphics issue and may have found a potential cause of it. yes

I’ve been playing The Light Brigade a ton, and I was able to get to the second boss without a single death, but, then, I lost all three lives to the boss. It’s so rough. The boss is invincible while this acid goo stuff is pumping into her. You have to pull four levers to stop the goo from flowing to her (two near the ceiling and two on the floor). You have to teleport to the levers, because large sections of the floor are that acid goo and keep eating away your health as long as you touch it. While you’re trying to pull the levers, the boss is spitting big chunks of the goo at you (which sticks to all surfaces, creating another environmental hazard) and shooting a pistol at you. If you hit all of the levers, you have a limited amount of time to shoot at the boss. Then, you have to pull all of the levers again. When you damage the boss, rats come down conveyor belts to her, and she can eat them to restore her health. You also have to find ammo and equip it (which is hard to do quickly while also doing all of the above, because you have to eject the clip in your gun and then manually reload it and cock it to shoot. I’ll keep trying, as I can upgrade my stats a bit more each run, but this may be a wall for awhile.

So a little over a month since release, what are your impressions from those who own it? Did it exceed expectations so far, or still needs more killer apps to convince you? How much playtime is it getting?

So far, I’ve played and beaten three games on it: Horizon: COTM, Kayak VR, and The Light Brigade. It’s definitely exceeded my expectations, and I haven’t even played the most well-reviewed games for it (like RE: Village and GT7). Horizon’s climbing was really fun, Kayak VR was beautiful but initially quite frustrating until I got used to the controls. Then, I enjoyed it . The Light Brigade has been my favorite so far. The graphics are simple and not especially impressive, the controls took me some time to get used to, and it’s tough, but I got better with practice, and, then, the gameplay was great. It’s one of those “just one more run” type of games. Compared to the PSVR, the tracking is much better, and the visuals are quite impressive at times. I’m happy with my purchase.

I saw that right before I made that post yesterday evening.
I want to hold off on getting one until there are more must play games for it. But...if they'd finally send these suckers out to retail and I could just walk into a Best Buy or Walmart and impulsively purchase one and be home playing it 20 minutes later, I'd probably do that. By making it so I can only get one through their website, they're just helping me not to spend that money. I can't be the only one.

If the sales projections reported months ago for psvr 2 sales were truly expected- someone should be fired. Those were asinine and clearly way off.

I haven't played it any since I moved my PS5 to the home theater system with the projector screen. But I've been busy watching lots of movies. I mean I spent a lot to get the 4k projector and new receiver that was capable of 4K gaming. On the bright side, 4K movies and 4K games look amazing on it. So I'll get my monies worth eventually raspberry

Humanity releases May 16 and will be hitting the PS+ Extra/Premium tier's Game Catalog on day one, which I believe makes it the first PSVR2 game available on the service. It can be played without VR as well, and also has support for original PSVR (good on them for including that because it is how I'll be playing it).
