An utterly awesome game

@NTA It's fucken cool right. This is my first proper time trying VR and it's awesome. Played a few demos (Star Wars, Horizon etc.) and purchased Kayak.
Only problem for me is that I played the Kayaking game for about 15 minutes and started to get the cold sweats and thought I was going to vomit.
I love it but might have to sell it if I can't get used to the motion. Will try a few other games (Drums Rock, Swordsman) and see how it goes.

It might week be you need to fiddle with the settings. I'm not sure about PS but PC VR had a lot you can change to get it right for you. I often use the teleport movement, I guess that wouldn't work in kayak. But I tell you half life alyx is the best game I've played, so good. VR can be amazing, great for Sims too

Yep that one is on the boys list for his birthday next week although not released until May so he’ll have to wait.
I do love sitting watching him play, the scope in those games is pretty incredible.

@MN5 gaming is actually pretty great value for money entertainment, ive pre ordered so it was $70 i think and the first one was a +200hr game if you do the side quests, this looks bigger

Ha, the boy tried to tell me it’s 100$ ! I think he wants to pocket the extra $30 the cheeky fucker !

@MN5 i can respect the hustle
there are a couple of collectors editions he might be meaning.
just checked EB in NZD$120! with a shitty luggage tag as the pre order gift and $99 at JB with a free coin....
AUD$74 is only about NZD$80 on amazon...thats what i went with

I know plenty of Switch users and they love them. I just can't see why myself, I guess I should ask for a demo and playtest it.

I feel so old. And new. I hope it hasn't gone PC (politically correct, that is).

I meant the switch as a device!

@nostrildamus oh! you cant see the attraction of the switch? i know for me other than travel in general, great for flights etc, but im kind of casual so play most of my games whilst hanging of an evening with Mrs Womble, so i dont have to go off to another room etc
obviously cant play the photo realistic games of the PS or Xbox but plenty of older games with good stories with just dated graphics or more cartoony/animated graphics like zelda

I like spatially immersive games-the display just seemed so small for the price, but I'll look again.
Hmm wonder what I could do with this: https://www.nintendo.com.au/games/nintendo-switch/nintendo-labo-variety-kit -
@nostrildamus ive seen those and they look like huge fun without ending with loads of useless plastic when you get bored
you obviously have the ability to still play through you tv with a pro controller, was just now talking to a mate about him controller and if it was worth it

yes I didn't know it could drive a big external monitor, that is def useful.
The best Dishonored game goes free on the Epic Store next week
