I'd love to be able to build military bases, start wars with dozens of active players at once... go on an interplanetary bombing run, sneak into other bases and plant bombs in them or steal equipment (with some cool stealth kill options)... The game is still way too much flying over mostly identical barren land... My grandmother was watching me play the other day, and made the comment "It just looks like you're walking through the same area over and over again.", and she's right. Too much of this game just looks and plays the same. Exploring isn't fun because there's rarely anything new to find, anything new to see. We don't get different biomes on the planets, each is all just the same thing the whole planet over. No deserts, no snowy mountains, no ice caps, no lush green landscapes and forests, just the same old thing over and over.

You can say the same about all these procedurally generated open world survival games. Perhaps with their next game since the tech and engine they have has already been figured out they'll focus on adding more variety.

Markdn70d ago

More variety? This is a starfield, No Man's Sky is as diverse as a procedural gen game could ever be, there is so many routes or options you can do it how you want, I really don't know what some people want with games. Mw takes up 160gb and lasted me 20 hours. NMS takes up 15 gb and I been playing it for 7 years.... And you want more Variety looooool

It's been a while since I've last played NMS but I distinctly remember the planets having different looks according to their biomes (cold planets, hot planets, toxic planets, etc.) with many different looks and colors of the flora, and very few planets being completely barren. Has something changed since the last few game updates?

anast71d ago

I would like to know. It's on sale right now.

raWfodog71d ago

This guys videos shows all the different biomes that I was aware of (except the last one he mentioned):

This is still the biggest problem with the game. Wish they would fix this main issue before doing other things. This was also the biggest problem with Starfield with its generic, barren planets

"The Omega update also introduces the ability to defeat Pirate Freighters in combat and then board them to take control."

Yeah, but is it an AAAA Ubisawft Experience, though? Don't think so.

TRAAAASH!!!!

The support they've given this game only makes me more interested in their next game.

If you're wanting more PSVR 2 support, you should probably buy all of these games.

Speak with your wallet!

Profchaos39d ago

Bit rich to have to buy games you don't want because you want Sony to support the expensive headset they sold us which cost as much as the console it runs on beyond paying third partys to support it.
Seriously in terms of first party we have horizon on day 1 and a gt 7 vr mode.

They seemingly have made little effort to support it beyond paying Capcom to make re games in VR or a second party studio to make firewall which was mismanaged.

I'm a day 1 psvr2 user and the only thing I'm excited for right now is PC support.

I commented recently this bespoke VR game development model we have right now clearly doesn't work

crazyCoconuts39d ago

On the one hand I feel like there's been plenty of smaller non-AAA games to play and occupy me as a supplement to my flat screen gaming.
But I agree that Sony has done nothing to elevate this beyond the niche it's in and into the mainstream where it would be economical to create AAA games for it.

Babadook739d ago (Edited 39d ago )

Most of these games are worth owning for most people; I own all but 2 of them in fact. So I agree with kevco33. I think you're crazy if you downplay this list quite frankly. Sony can't keep funding software if people don't buy any of it, the ball is squarely in OUR court.

Sony has spent a lot on 3rd party stuff this gen like RE.

phoenixwing39d ago (Edited 39d ago )

Saving up for the headset is my first hurdle. Let alone buying games I don't want lol

mudakoshaka39d ago

People downvoting you for not having enough finances...what a world we live in, haha

phoenixwing39d ago (Edited 39d ago )

@mudako
They feel affronted at the very thought that I don't plunk down 500 immediately lol I have a little over 900 games in my backlog I've been buying games instead of hardware ever since I got my PC and ps5. I just don't know if vr is really for me honestly. Every time I have a couple hundred allocated to video games it makes more sense to buy a bunch of flat games instead of vr ones

mudakoshaka39d ago

I have 9 out of these 10 games. I try to buy all the VR games I like to support the advancement of VR!

TheEroica38d ago (Edited 38d ago )

I spoke with my wallet after watching the first headset get weak support. Easy pass until Sony earns my money. Feel bad for those who parted with 500 bucks, falling for the hype that Sony was actually gonna support this thing.

Neonridr39d ago

I own 7 of these titles off the list, lol.

NotoriousWhiz39d ago

I'm trying to decide if it's worth holding onto my psvr 2. I enjoy what it has currently, but it seems unlikely to get anything else. Might be better off just waiting for something with more support if that ever comes.

Profchaos39d ago

As a fellow psvr2 owner the question seemingly comes down to do you own a PC.

I think I'm all in I have a habit to hold onto my systems anyhow I still have my psvr1 to hell I still have my NES.

But while it's still worth something yeah you could sell it and if Sony turns the ship around you should be able to buy another one for less than you soldmit for I feel like we won't see any fix for the headset for the next 2 years rumours show that Sony has no current first party VR games in active development after they closed London studios

The whole psvr2 situation has left me feeling a little burnt on PlayStation as a whole to be honest. The first psvr felt experimental but it was supported far more than this superior headset

MIDGETonSTILTS1739d ago

GT7 surprised me, because I hate racing games, but i poured 100 hours into it way too quickly.

I’m looking forward to the Metro VR game this year, and I hope that WW2 dogfighter game releases eventually.

talocaca39d ago

I have most of them 😅

Waiting for a sale on Synapse and Arizona Sunshine 2.....also Metro coming this year looks great.
