PSVR 2

I think you'd need to go to an expo. You might get a larger Game store maybe but even then, they are delicate bits of kit. GT7 is the only one so far to make me feel vom.

MRTV set up a company to do just this. gb.trymytech.com/ - not many people at the moment and no PSVR2. If you are in the West Country give me a PM as I have a PSVR2 and am willing to demo. 

So....how suitable or otherwise is Pavlov for a 13/14 year old? Boy is after more shooters...

OK, cool, thanks. He plays a bit of older CoD but dips in and out of them really. Think he's feeling left out at school, with a load of his mates playing this on the oculus.

I've got Pavlov on PSVR2 but haven't really played it much - it was ok and as an old Counterstrike player back in 1.6 days it was pretty intense. Prefer more single player orientated stuff these days (old age I suppose but then I thought Onward was great on PC - the pacing is different). As for online weirdos and bellends - yea be mindful of that. VR is still the wild west when it comes to social interactions and is much more impactful in VR. Choose them servers wisely.

Just finished Red Matter 2 which was a very polished and enjoyable experience.

Has anybody played that canoeing game?
The graphics look amazing

Got it but haven't even tried it yet! I went a bit nuts and bought ten games yesterday 

Saints and Sinners, Chapter 2 (that was for Alex, he adored the original: I'm glad I got the upgraded original for free too).

Horizon - part of the bundle, only tried it this morning and as mentioned it was a huge hit.

Red Matter 2 - just not sure if I should get and play the first one first?

Kayak - looking forward to chilling out to this, and I reckon my wife will love it too.

Pavlov - as discussed earlier. Intriguing, but caught between shit bots and absolute losers it seems.

RE4 - okay, had this already, but have not even played it, so I'm chuffed to be able to do try it in VR.

REV - played this on xbox but it was only 10 quid or so, and I can't wait to try it in VR. RE7 destroyed me on PSVR.

Tetris Effect - upgrade. One of my favourites from PSVR.

Crossfire - this seems more promising than Pavlov so far.

Synapse - not delved yet.

Cosmodread - likewise. I really loved The Persistence on PSVR. I may have been the only one. Hoping for similar vibes.

Also some demos (Star Wars, Puzzling Places, Song in the Smoke) and I have No Man's Sky which I'm fairly keen to have another bash at.

I almost got Demeo but it felt a bit pricey, as did GT7. 

I feared someone would mention that as it means I have to admit it's not really my thing.

Sounds like Pavlov has gone downhill fast. In the first week it was everyone being really friendly and often not even bothering to shoot each other.

I’ve only really played it offline since as I’m awful at it but with the bots it’s a bit like an on the rails shooter.

Yeah, that's why I'm leaning towards Pistol Whip. 

Yeah, the bots mode is laughable, the way they just walk in a straight line towards you. 

Anyway, I don't like being a heavy-handed Dad - my younger son is 16 but also quite vulnerable in various ways - but as soon as I heard him shout at the top of his voice "why did you kill him, he was innocent?" I made him stop and banned him from Pavlov until I've done a bit more research. 

Yesterday my other boy tried out the WWII map (I think it's just one map? I haven't really got my head around the game yet) and that seemed perfectly fine - but then no one was speaking to each other. There seem to be certain modes that attract the absolute nobs. And as mentioned, I reckon there must be some okay servers out there. 

Synth Riders is another good shout in the Bear Saber/ Pistol Whip domain. The mixed reality mode on the Quest 3 is excellent as the notes are flying at you through a whole in your (front room) wall. Really neat trick.
