I finished world 5 the other day, I haven't gone back to the other challenges yet cause I want to stretch it out. The best game I've played in quite a while, or most enjoyable anyway.

Finished world 3 today. Trying not to rush, want this beauty to last as long as possible!

I like that I'm not the only one doing that. What are the chances of any DLC do we think?

So... having just gotten another few games off my backlog I can FINALLY start into Moss.

*takes a deep breath* ...

Not heard a whisper of any DLC so probably unlikely. I'd love to be proved wrong though!

there's no downhill in astrobot

I meant once I complete it

I'm hoping for games that are as good. I have wipeout lined up, Firewall zero, RE7 & Static all ready to go. I do think I'm really gonna miss Astro though. And for that reason, I'm intentionally slowing down World 5. The little fella's ship is nearly back together - and he'll soon be off with his mates. Just to see him jumping into and out of the DS4 is simply fab. Will we ever see the likes of it again. Not had this much fun since Spyro launched way back

Are the challenges in AB as much fun as the main levels? Not given them a go yet

Ah Quill is there to take up the cuddly reigns in Moss

RocketRaccoon · 06-01-2019 2:37pm

Yep, go with Moss after Astrobot. The cuteness levels go up a level.

Good to know, cheers lads. Might just flip it on it's head and go RE7 next

I'll pick up Moss soon.

RE7 is cool, but it's a HUGE game... I never realised what I was getting into.

About 11.5 hours to complete, and I wasn't dilly dallying

Moss might be a bit quicker to get through... think it's about 4-5 hours

I can live with that. I've spent more than that on Astro, but half the time on that was lust looking around the place in amazement ! Have you started Moss ? Graphically up there with Astro ?

Jerichoholic · 06-01-2019 4:57pm

Moss is cool but it's no Astro Bot. It's impressive though.

It's not quite as sharp as Astro, but where Astro feels like you are in a Mario game, Moss feels like you are in a movie like The Hobbit, or Willow. Pretty damn great.

So I bought the PSVR / astobot bundle on the GameStop site. This is my first time ordering online from them.

Bought it 3 days ago. Got an email right away confirming the order, money was taken.

Should I be getting any more emails from them? Dispatch confirmation? Package tracking info? Or will it just show up?

Picked the 1-2 days express delivery. But that was 3 days ago....

EDIT! And wouldn't ya know it. About 5 seconds after posting that they sent me a dispatch confirmation email! XD

Soon™

Got this for Christmas with Astrobot/Moss. I've mostly been playing Wipeout which is amazing. Fully planning to play the other 2 games eventually but Wipeout is just too much fun. Also ordered the Move controllers, going to pick up Beat Saber soon. Also interested in games like I Expect You To Die (which also needs Move).

You think wipeout is good.....
Wait until you pop in astrobot. I’m jealous. I’d love to be starting it again for the first time.

Question re: Wipeout.

Any motion sickness at all??

I have a few demo's which really messed with my head after a minute or so.

The Luge one, and the DriveClub VR.

I'd say if I had played them for another 5 mins I would have had my head over the toilet!

Wipeout has a load of comfort settings you can use till you get your VR legs.

Luge and Driveclub had no comfort settings afaik. Also the blur on those games can sort of make you feel a bit worse than the relative clarity on Wipeout.

This is my experience too, I turned off the comfort settings pretty quickly.

Even if you have them on, there's some tracks where the game turns them back on because those tracks have higher risk of motion sickness.

There's a free trial of Firewall Zero Hour from today until Sunday. PS Plus members only though.

Jerichoholic · 18-01-2019 12:19pm

Pixel Ripped is 12.99 on the store. Heard good things about it.

Highly recommend giving this a go if any of ye haven't tried it, my favourite PSVR game. Must have about 40 hours put in to it at this stage - so good, and very easy to play for extended sessions (especially if you get in to a good squad with everybody on mic).

It's class if you ever grew up playing Gameboy. Lots of Easter eggs!

and none of them d**kheads.
Granted I have only had one experience of it, but it was enough to put me off playing it for awhile.

I've only encountered one person like that in all my hours so far, and he was far too young to be playing it. I'm actually surprised by how sound the community in this is compared to other online games, level 30-50 guys are always helping newer players out with tips, tactics or letting them take kills,laptop hack for XP. And a solid team with good communication during the match is practically unbeatable.

Managed to order some Move Controllers off the Smyths website if people are still looking for them
