Anyone else looking forward to The Callisto Protocol? I was hoping to check some reviews before it releases in a week, but it appears the review embargo doesn't lift until the day of release. Isn't that usually a bad sign?

It's definitely on my radar. I'm leery though. It hasn't convinced me that it's a day one-er. I'll wait for the reviews and maybe even a quick price drop before Christmas.

Same thought as @incubus421. With Dead Space coming out too, I'll wait out some reviews.

My birthday is the week after it comes out and I asked for it. Not sure if I'll get it but it's certainly on my radar.

Yeah I’m gonna hopefully get it for Xmas The Callisto Protocol. I’m hoping it’ll satiate those Dead Space needs we’ve been lacking before the remake comes out that is. If for nothing at least those graphics on the Unreal engine look mighty robust and almost uncanny next to the actor which is pretty nuts. I hope it performs as well as it looks.

It’s kinda weird. I know someone in the Callisto protocol 🤣 first time I’ve seen someone I know fully rendered 🤣

The Callisto Protocol is currently at a 76 on Metacrtic. It's not bad, but can see why they kept the review embargo locked until release date.

Horror games are a mixed bag for some people. The Evil Within has about the same rating.

That one feels a little too familiar for me to be excited. Don’t think I’ll ever play it.

I got one of those Sony Pulse 3D headsets yesterday. I didn't wanna do it at $100 but they were $70 for Black Friday/Cyber Monday and I just wanted to replace the cheap headphones I had been using (and I mean cheap, like they were under $20).
I'm no audiophile, and maybe I'm just easily impressed after using cheap headphones for the past couple years, but these sound great...when they're working. When playing BioShock 2 last night the audio kept dropping if I leaned back too far, or put my hand over the left side of the headset. Even right now, I'm doing neither of those things and sitting less than 3 feet from the console and it sometimes drops.
I've seen threads on Reddit where people say it happened to them too, but they changed to the USB slot on the front of the console and it fixed it, but that's the slot I was using from the start because the rear USB slots are taken up by the PSVR and it's not helping. I guess I can get around that by using it wired, but a big part of the reason I had bought it was because I wanted a wireless headset.
edit: Saw another suggestion about using a pin to press the reset button on the USB dongle thing and I did that and so far the audio signal hasn't been dropping.
edit 2: That didn't help for long.

That would be fine then.
I agree.
I am also OK if people review with a disclaimer. Starting with "I'm not a horror game fan, so this review is from that perspective".
Just don't get your scores listed on metacritic if you do that

Same argument if they have rose colored glasses and love the genre. Better to just get a bum from the streets and let him play it. That’s super fair for everyone involved.

I've been playing the Cowabunga Collection the past couple weeks.
Last night I finished TMNT (NES). I'd played it way in the past and don't think I ever got through the dam level. Even with a guide and gratuitous use of the rewind it wasn't a walk in the park. I can't imagine how anyone could have legitimately finished this in the past. What a ridiculous game.
Also played through a few versions of the classic beat 'em ups. They delivered on just as much fun as I remembered. My 8 year old nephew had a blast. Good times.

I recently got this headset too. From what I know this uses 2.4GHz to connect so if your wifi or other electronics are using that frequency nearby maybe it's causing problems. Maybe try switching to 5GHz for other things to lighten the load on the 2.4GHz frequency? Might be worth a shot.

I'm excited to play The Callisto Protocol even if it is just a Dead Space clone. We need more decent sci-fi horror games in our lives for fans of the genre that is.

My copy of Marvel: Midnight Suns is “back ordered” even though I pre-ordered it months ago from Target. (They consistently do this, but I keep going back for the B2G1 deals). So, I picked up The Callisto Protocol for free with points I had saved up from GameStop on the way to work. I’m gonna give it a shot later tonight.
