I bought Astrobot a couple of days after its release, but I still haven’t managed to get into it - and my kid won’t even touch it. We’re both too addicted to Rogue Legacy 2, which is kind of scary considering how many hours we’ve already sunk into that game.
Anyway, the little bit of Astrobot I played was a slow start, probably reflecting the fact that it’s a longer game overall. Hopefully it’ll ramp up (and hopefully I’ll be able tear myself away from RL2 eventually.)

Thanks for the heads up. This one’s “free” on PS Plus.

Yeah, that's what I did, I just always assumed there were different versions for each console, but my timeline on when the PS5 was released is all screwed on account of no one being able to buy one for months/years.
Yeah I got mine November 2021 and there's still only like 5 games specifically made for the fuckin thing worth buying
The audacity to roll out a PS5 Pro at this stage is fucking crazy

Count your blessings you didn't buy a PSVR2 kit. Borderline abandonware.
And then they have the audacity to ask you to upgrade your PS+ account to a premium tier if you want access to the 4 crappy games with VR support. Didn't I already pay?

I'm not a retro gamer. At. All. Got my fill of jank during the actual '80s LOL. But this review is great. Enough to spark my interest:

I actually briefly considered it, but I tried out my nephew's HTC Vive setup and the shit makes me feel nauseated within 5 minutes

I believe there will be more content coming also on the PS5.
I was able to upgrade for $6 from extra to play the games on premium. Worth it.

Part of the problem, as I'm beginning to understand, is that I just don't like the VR experience in itself. The novelty of being immersed in a 360 degree 3D world with head-tracking was amazing at first (especially in driving games), but after a while the tradeoffs (graphics quality, general comfort) take their toll, and I realize there's not much being added in terms of actual gameplay. Most of the games out there feel like amateurish tech demos - and because they're so scarce, their prices are seldom, if ever, reduced.
Give me a nice big TV and leave the headcrab off my face, and I'm a happy camper. :)

Oh no. You shouldn't have told me that.

I feel this too. Not to mention the super small viewing sweet spot on the PSVR2.
BUT, Half Life Alyx is another experience. It was designed for VR and brings an experience with it that shows what is possible.
I hear Sony has acquired the rights to HLA for the PS5. I imagine it will launch around the time of the PS5 Pro.
On a side note, if Sony didn't offer PSVR2 at $200 off I would not have bought it.

First: I had no idea HLA might be coming to PSVR2. I've been hoping for this for a long time.
Second: I didn't know Sony did a $200 off promotion. I think I spent $600? A friend gave me a PSVR1 kit (pretty much impossible to sell LOL) and my brother-in-law gave us an Oculus Quest 2. So I'm a guy who mostly dislikes VR and somehow owns three VR kits.
(Back in the PS3 days, I had a 3D DLP TV with those weird stroboscopic glasses. That was actually a blast - particularly Motorstorm.)

They offered the $200 discount a couple months ago for less than a month. Was available at all stores.First: I had no idea HLA might be coming to PSVR2. I've been hoping for this for a long time.

Had some stereoscopic glasses for my PC some 20 years ago and loved them. Was great playing Doom and seeing body parts fly out of the screen at you. The rear end of a race car fish tailing out of the screen was sick too.

Walked to the right; climbed through a tunnel; am stuck.
Astrobot is warming up a bit, but it still feels more like a toy than a game. Which is fine.
