Sales are going through the roof https://www.pcgamesn.com/oculus/quest-2-meta-sales-xbox-series-x-s - and its dirt cheap - you're never going to get the hardcore detail you expect from an XBOX/PS4/5 because its basically based on a Mobile Phone Processor but does that really matter

I'm a PC gamer, used to long bouts of hiding from the missus in my room. You can't, and really shouldn't do long hours with a headset on. Plus a load of the games play like the Wii but are far worse. Elite Dangerous is bloody brilliant in VR but where as I would happily play for hours at a time on the normal game I can't in VR. I drop out back to 2d mode. Which sort of kills the atmosphere a bit. Still I can drag in stuff to while away the long hours travelling but once the headset becomes a pain to wear then I'm out of it. Pity. Mind you the battles are amazing.

Look, it's exciting, but I'm not sure it's the future of gaming.
 
Probably another titanic moment but i copped this after starting a second playthrough after i bought it on release.

What a thing of beauty Red Dead redemption 2 is. I'd love to have the kit to play at these settings

Long hours of gaming on any platform is not good for you, is it really? ;-)

Elite dangerous is unreal in VR, I kickstarted that game being an Elite 80/90's player. But you're right, after a while in you need to jump back to normal

What did you think? I'm playing it again now and it's pretty shocking unfortunately :(

I thought it was ok pal but I wouldn't pay £45 for it especially with limited rights and players. It took some getting use to with knowing when to hit a drop shot using R2 but the rallies are fun. Thanks again for the heads up on the demo.
 
I’ve had A Plague Tale: Innocence installed for ages on Game Pass and never got round to playing it, until now. Wow! What a game. Feels like it deserves more attention than it gets, I highly recommend it.
 
Got a great deal on Divison 2 which i played back on PS4, started from scratch on Xbox it had so much potential, getting to level 30 is easy I’m taking my time and clearing up each area as I go, I got th expansion etc for £11 so ah e that to go out later. Pity it never really took off.

Big hit with my mates. We play a lot of 4 player. Trouble is, in typical ubisoft fashion, Division 1 was a great little game and they just dropped it to introduce 2. Then added a New York expansion...when all they had to do was continue with 1.
 
Does anyone know if Elden Ring is more difficult than Demon Souls? Reason I ask is I considered getting ER now it’s been out for a while but I’m struggling in DS so much I can’t even get past the first boss (Tower Knight). Pretty much at the point of throwing the towel in. Bloodborne seemed to be a breeze for me but this one I’m completely out of my depth.
