I hate when you have to protect a person when a bunch thirties try to kill you

saladthieves4579d ago

Agreed - that and timed sections. Do this thing very quickly or the time runs out and you die...you're forced to play on a different pace and it just sucks.

Another is defending a certain area until the cavalry or backup arrives - with no indication of how much time is left for them to arrive only but an occasional "Almost there!"

xtremexx4579d ago

i dont know why buy timed section make me panic lol, and then i just get pissed. :/

Solidus187-SCMilk4579d ago

I was going to say the exact same thing. I hate protecting Sh@t in video games.

Ramses34579d ago

Agree, I absolutly hate escort missions, they are terrible.

sukru4579d ago

And even worse, you don't have to be in escort mission to be hit by this trope. I remember being literally pushed out of cover by friendly AI under heavy fire.

And of course let's not forget the one, where the entire game consists of escorting a stupid AI, I'm looking at you : RE5. The only way I was able to conserve ammo was by taking the guns out of Sheva's hand!

BraveToaster4579d ago

Why would you ever play Resident Evil 5 alone?

Kyosuke_Sanada4579d ago

The better question is why RE 5 had co-op in the first place?

Morbius4204578d ago

Because we're used to playing horror based games alone.

Because in this day and age some ppl get sick of multi-player and need a break from it.

Not every game needs to be Call of Duty like and rely solely on multiplayer.

I think Resi 5 should have required all players to complete the story alone before giving you the option of multi. I think ME3 should as well.

I'm really getting fucking sick and tired of all the MP crap in gaming now.

Kakihara4579d ago

Escort missions are the worst definitely, I also hate the 'Where do I go now?' moments and I've never been a fan of boss battles. Strange then that one of the highlights of my year was playing Ico and SOTC or Escort mission and Where do I find this next boss battle as they might be called.

MidnytRain4579d ago (Edited 4579d ago )

I don't really have a problem with the way Uncharted presents its environments. On the contrary, it has some of the coolest settings and designs I've seen. I've found that having to look for paths and solutions is kind of enjoyable. When I'm made to try to figure something out, it makes the game more immersive because that is exactly what my character would have to do. In real life, solutions to unexpected problems don't just fall out of the sky; we have to think.

Pozzle4578d ago

I'd agree with you if Uncharted was the worst offender. But Uncharted is actually pretty nice when it comes to navigation and figuring out where you need to go.

A game like Soul Reaver 2 would be a better example. You start the game by being sent back in time and Raziel then says he needs to go to the Pillars. Ok, that would be easy enough if we were still in Soul Reaver 1's timeline. But Soul Reaver 2 sticks you in a completely new world and expects you to automatically know which direction to go. I spent over an hour just trying to figure out how the hell to escape the damn knight stronghold Raziel was in (it turns out there was a TINY tunnel underneath a lake that I only found by luck. wtf). And that's only the first hour or so of the game. Grr so frustrating. :(

Final Fantasy games are also a pretty good example. I love world maps, but I can't count how many times I've also gotten lost on them or had no idea which town to go to. In FFVII, it took me forever to figure out how to get to the right island with just the Tiny Bronco.

L.A. Noire And Bully — Rockstar's Lost Gems That Deserve A Sequel As Much As GTA

Hanzala from eXputer: "I do appreciate GTA 6, Rockstar, but if I could trade it for a new L.A. Noire or a Bully game, I'd do so in a heartbeat."

Skuletor22d ago

How are they lost? You can get L.A. Noire on Steam, PS5, Xbox Series and Nintendo Switch and Bully is on the PS5 and Xbox Series too.

Psychonaut8522d ago

I want a new Manhunt game. But that will never happen.

Demetrius22d ago

Mfs are too sensitive nowadays and would cry instead of being concerned bout real world problems

Demetrius22d ago

Whenever gta 6 launch we won't be getting another rockstar title for another 10 years lol but on the positive side they bou to come back n show how open world supposed to be done 🔥

Skuletor22d ago

I won't expect any singleplayer DLC like IV's The Lost & Damned or The Ballad of Gay Tony after it launches either

The 10 PSVR 2 Games You Should Own

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

Speak with your wallet!

Profchaos41d 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

crazyCoconuts41d 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.

Babadook741d ago (Edited 41d 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.

phoenixwing41d ago (Edited 41d ago )

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

mudakoshaka41d ago

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

phoenixwing41d ago (Edited 41d 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

mudakoshaka41d 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!

TheEroica40d ago (Edited 40d 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.

Neonridr41d ago

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

NotoriousWhiz41d 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.

Profchaos41d 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

MIDGETonSTILTS1741d 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.

talocaca41d ago

I have most of them 😅

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