[FingerBang]

Woah. This I'm gonna play!

 

[LordOfChaos]

Wow. I really didn't expect this to be such a showcase VR title.

 

[Buggy Loop]

How long has it been for a VR game to be this well received, can't think of one since Half Life Alyx

 

[DenchDeckard]

What the actual fuck!

OK, I need to complete the first and then get onto this.

 

[Romulus]

The previews have been glowing across the board from several outlets for months now.

 

[tusharngf]

now that's rare !!

 

[DenchDeckard]

This year needs to chill at this point!

 

[diffusionx]

And it’s bundled with a Meta Quest 3.

 

[MidGenRefresh]

Is it new gold standard for VR or for gaming in general?

 

[SmokedMeat]

Happy to hear it! Shit, I’m going to have to watch some reviews.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Guess this is Meta Quest's 3 killer app.

[dorkimoe]

no psvr2?

 

[ungalo]

damn, it means it's as good as Deathloop

 

[Chuck Berry]

Keep reading it as Asuras Wrath 2

 

[DenchDeckard]

Meta quest 3 gonna sell a lot of units from this if other places rate it as highly.

 

[Interfectum]

Not on PSVR2 I take it?

 

[Dusktildawn48]

Not being able to play with the index makes me sad.

 

[Kilau]

Call me cynical but...

Spoiler

Meta instead of EA

 

[Spyxos]

I didn't expect that, the first part wasn't that great.

Ok i looks like ign give the first one 9,4. Now this 10 out of 10 seems strange.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

PS VR 2?

 

[R3TRODYCE]

90 hours is nuts

 

[GHG]

Do you need to play the first before playing this.

I still need to start the AC game which I bought a couple of weeks ago. This year needs to chill.

 

[LordOfChaos]

no psvr2?

The publisher is occulus studios/Reality Labs, it's a Meta funded showcase title so no go for anything but Quest

Well previews from the obscure hardcore VR channels must all be paid off too because they love it too. I've seen several so far with a very similar opinion.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Wow I’ve only played the opening of asgards wrath 1 with the kracken. first game is PC only.
Currently playing Half Life Alyx.
VR has been alot of fun. Quest 3 works very well.

 

[Buggy Loop]

... You'll have 5 followers integral to the story. I've yet to unlock the fifth however but there is so far a panther, a falcon, a monkey and a hippo. And they can all transform into a human body shape or their animal form and they all have traits and abilities you will need for each area to solve the puzzles to progress and man some of these puzzles are a massive head scratcher, not since the water temple in The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time have I felt so stumped.."

 

[Romulus]

I've seen some new gameplay that looks badass. Reminds me of Shadow of the Colossus scale enemies but with visceral combat.

 

[BennyBlanco]

This Quest 3 only? I wonder how it runs on Quest 2. Or streamed.

 

[Evil Calvin]

Awesome.....10/10.....oh...........VR?....................shit......nevermind.

 

[Romulus]

This a vr reviewer i trust along with beardo and GamertagVR above

 

[VanCityGamer]

This Quest 3 only? I wonder how it runs on Quest 2. Or streamed.

It runs well on Quest 2 also.

Like I said, call me cynical. Wouldn’t put it past Meta to buy some reviews for their killer app.

Can I just call you wrong?

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

IGN....

 

[VanCityGamer]

IGN....

Yes…?

 

[cyberheater]

PS VR 2?

Sorry. No chance. It’s developed by Meta.

 

[Draugoth]

 

[Kilau]

Can I just call you wrong?

You don’t need my permission to have an opinion, just like I don’t need yours.

 

[Senua]

IGN....

If this was for PSVR2 you'd be creaming into your chinos

 

[MarkMe2525]

Great to hear but I still am approaching with trepidation. What does a 100hr game look like in VR? Well I am about to find out starting tomorrow evening. I also am trying to fly blind with this one, so I ain't watching the video.

Edit: as soon as it drops I will be adding the discount referral link to my linktree page. Come here if you don't already have the game and want 25% off.

[alucard0712_rus]

Can't wait for my Quest 3!
EVERYONE said that this game is a game-changer. Will see!

 

[GymWolf]

I dislike the art design of this thing.

But 90 hours for a single player vr game is nuts.

 

[cyberheater]

Amazing they can squeeze this down to 30Gb.

 

[MarkMe2525]

I dislike the art design of this thing.

But 90 hours for a single player vr game is nuts.

It's obvious the Quest 2 constraints molded the art design. I don't find the little content I have seen very flattering, but I'll withhold judgement until I see it through the headset. Often, even a simplistic lookin game puches above its weight in VR. The sense of scale can add a lot.

 

[Ammogeddon]

Great news, can’t wait to play it tomorrow.

 

[Crayon]

Whoa outta nowhere. I'm not a fan of meta but it's great they could facilitate this. VR needs more of this.

 

[ahtlas7]

Sweet mama! Excited to play this on Christmas.

 

[Diseased Yak]

A system seller.

It's about to sell me one. Was thinking about snagging the MQ3 already but this is prob going to drive me over the edge.

Any opinions on whether getting the one with more space is worth it? And it looks like some sort of fancy head strap is also available...
