All I can say is I'm glad I got rid of my chandeliers!

Recessed lighting is a requisite for Beat Saber (or high ceilings!)

PSVR Frank has a good video giving tips on how to play better.

To be honest I think I've already reached my max capability and I'm only around level 11 :eek:

Will check it out as I think I need all the help I can get

Those disappearing arrows are a bitch

Level 11 is the one I'm stuck on. Hvaing to make your arms move more than 650m I think. The only time I even managed to complete the song I think I only got 380m or so and arms were wrecked after it.

The trick I've found with the disappearing arrows is that you need to keep your eyes focused on the distance and then hit the blocks using your peripheral vision.

Also you don't need to concentrate on "which direction" the arrows are pointing, rather "which side" had the last bit of white before it vanished. Then hit that side as it passes.

Rick n Morty 12.99 on PSN store. Any good?

It's short but if you like Rick and Morty you'd probably like it.
I enjoyed the cartoons so it was fun being in one!

I've tried it about 10 times today, and every single time I hit 46. I can't do it.

I finally did it. Would much prefer a Guitar Hero style campaign for this.

what level?

Jerichoholic · 27-11-2018 01:22AM

That was 7 or 8 I think.

The music is pretty infectious too

Had this tune in my head for weeks after completing it: https://youtu.be/p3iXp9l67yk?list=PL4jUFKwCCT34wnO_0NHIM0ErPyCvHayA6&t=18

This has now become the latest tune stuck in my head

https://youtu.be/AsIStO2aifE?t=22

That's the one that always gets stuck in my head too. Great tune in fairness.

I'm so glad "In Death" made the transfer over to PSVR faithfully

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNRuqCqMJQI

Now ye can all experience what I dubbed the greatest VR game of all time (recently dethroned by Astro Bot).

I've spent more time on this game on my Rift than any other in my life. Equally fun to pick up and play for short bouts, or extended sessions. It's a joy!

Jerichoholic · 28-11-2018 01:42AM

Looks good. Medieval Persistence.

Grayditch · 28-11-2018 02:07AM

Only 24 quid at the moment, so I took a punt.

James74 · 28-11-2018 08:39AM

Was considering getting that. You just persuaded me to.... one day before payday. Damn you!

fixXxer · 28-11-2018 08:44AM

Can't do any of these games

been waiting a month for Sony Support to get back to me on replacing a faulty #4 cable.

Grayditch · 28-11-2018 11:05PM

In Death is really good, but I think I need to play it sitting down, I keep losing my orientation with the camera.

I still have to wipe the lenses every 15 mins no matter what game too, that gets annoying.

Is your room cold?

I find that leaving my Rift or PSVR above a radiator for a minute or 2, or less than a minute if its really hot helps eliminate the lenses fogging up.

It happens more with my rift as its in a colder room.

Also if youre just back from exercising or the gym that doens't help either.

The best thing to do for fog is to just start the game with the headset on, then leave it down for about 10 minutes. Fog will be gone.

Grayditch · 29-11-2018 02:04AM

Cheers lads I'll give that a go. I think I used to do that but just forgor about it.

Lads is there any difference between the second and third choice here? I assumed the headset paired with Astro Bot was V1 as it's the same price as the V2 headset on it's own but they both seem to be V2.

SeantheMan · 29-11-2018 04:33PM

Lads and ladies,

Tetris VR or Beat Saber......which should I buy ? (only getting one for the moment as I already got Red Dead 2 and Battlefield 5 this month, and Super Smash is next week)

Can anyone tell me how good of a port Beat Saber is and how responsive it is to the motion controls....which can be awkward and not really responsive at the best of times....so I can only imagine when you have to swing them quickly how they'd work.
I searched for reviews but there aren't many for PSVR as of yet.

mrcheez · 29-11-2018 04:54PM

Beat Saber if you have room and are prepared to work out.

Tetris if you prefer to sit down when playing.

Tracking is perfect on Beat Saber.

Seem to be the same to me. Both appear to be V2, but i'd ask the seller beforehand just in case.

As for Tetris or Beat Saber, I can only recommend Beat Saber as I haven't played Tetris. Also didn't play Beat Saber on PC, so can't say how accurate they are in comparison, but I've had no issues that weren't my own fault so far!
