Daft

They literally play a second character who flies around in a little space ship with a hoover attached and they can suck stuff in and shoot the items back out. They can also pick up coins. The Player 2 interaction isn't half-baked, it's a lot of fun to play, too.

You need a second player to play on the TV. That's like the best part of it, too. Such an amazing idea for co-op.

I didn't like Flash 21 at all. Thought it was really week. I don't think Howard Porter is suited to the story and Joshua Williamson uses waaaaaaaaaay too many thought boxes and exposition. Batman 21 was just in a whole different league.

I wouldn't say it was poorly supported. For a niche peripheral that's been out only 7 months, I'd say its support was pretty good. I don't think anyone is arguing that it's ready for the mainstream either. It's a good piece of kit, with a solid line-up but it comes with the early-adopter caveats. There's no killer app for sure, but for the moment there's definitely support. And you hardly seem that satisfied with the base PS4 experience, no idea why you'd be even remotely tempted to shell out for PSVR.

LOL, I scrolled up to look before it clicked.

Yes, plz. VR too, plz. Is there a trailer for this?

My brother has loaned me his PSVR indefinitely so I've been playing it over the past few days. Holy shit, what a blast. For starters, it is obscenely easy to set up and get going. While the image quality isn't stellar, it's really quite forgivable because of the immersion – and I will definitely be buying any future upgrade with a PS5. Playroom VR is brilliant. And it's a crime those little robots aren't used more, like in a full on platformer. The platforming level is the most innovative thing Nintendo would have created in the past decade. It's an absolutely wonderful co-op experience and the depth that the VR gives you is gorgeous. The other mini-games are good but the platformer really felt like it could/should have been a whole game. Played Trackmania in VR, too. That is a lot of fun, too. Both games have really made me think VR is a perfect fit for third-person games more than first-person (at least at the moment). Finally Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes. Another amazing local co-op game. Super tense and properly exciting. I'd really like to see games like Abzu in VR.

To be fair...

God yes, 5 onwards. I love them. They're just so stupidly enjoyable. I LOVED 8, too. Not as good as 5, which I consider the pinnacle of the series, but it was great and better in different ways.

You can change them in the safe room?! I thought you had to go to the start of any Palace...which seemed unnecessary, but when I talked to them in the safe room they never gave me the option to switch.

Prop them up on other weights or a box. There's always a way! Negatives are eccentric movements, so yeah in this case lowering the bar. I found they help pushing past plateaus.

@drahkon Try Pendlay Rows, they're amazing (make sure you're doing the negative on them). And for OHP, try adding in some volume every other session. Either 10 sets of 5 reps or like 5 sets of 15 to 20 reps.

Pre-ordered it after Eurogamer's review earlier

Well you're missing the opportunity to use your bench as a virtual luge... You should really think about it.

Clearly you need another PS4 and a PSVR.

So, I've been think a lot about this issue. The hockey game is meant to reflect the fight between Batman and Thwane. So is the referee Dr Manhattan in this fight? He's nowhere to be seen. He's not stopping the fight. He's complicit in the fight. The commentator says "We're all just trying to have fun out here. I mean, is this fun?" as one of the players is being gratuitously beaten to death. One of the themes about Rebirth is about reinstating hope and joy into the universe, so is the commentator meant to reflect us, the readers? Except Dr Manhattan (or whoever) does step into the fight between Batman and Thawne. Although maybe not intentionally, since Thawne picks up the Button and gets pulled somewhere else. Maybe Dr Manhattan didn't intend to step in and his transportation was an accident. Another thing, Thawne returns and literally no one escapes Dr Manhattan in one piece. Which makes me think Thawne stood a chance of escaping. And then it starts to click a little. Manhattan gets rid of Wally West (and thus his kids). He de-ages and sends Jay Garrick to Earth 2. With Thawne the only person in the history of comics to escape (at least partially) intact from Manhattan, that makes me think that Manhattan is targeting speedsters, and that speedsters will be a problem for him. I've got to read this issue again. It was so dope. Edit: Also, holy shit there's more, Trinity #8

I didn't, although I've been meaning to read Morrison's Batman & Robin for a while. I basically jumped on with the New 52 so my reading beforehand is a bit all over the place.

Weirdly I've basically just kept up with the Supes books. Superman, Action Comics (I've fallen a little behind on both but I'll catch up soon) and Super Sons which I think is a blast. The art is really lovely. Jon and Damian are super cute together, they're like a pair of squabbling brothers.

Batman #21 is so great. This whole Flashpoint-New52-Rebirth-Button story has been so exciting. The way Forever Evil got pulled into Darkseid War and then into this. That it's pulling so many threads from everywhere is amazing, along with the little touches like Reverse Flash's appearance back in the first issue of Rebirth Flash, the call-back to Before Watchmen, the hand of creation, etc. It feels like I can see a lot of the pieces of a bigger picture but I can't quite see how they connect, not just yet. But they're slowly coming together. I've never been so excited by a story.

This looks damn rad. Any news on co-op?

I pre-ordered and had a go on it this morning. I used to have this game on my Game Gear and I'm so happy it's back. Like HoT said it feels very retro. And the art style is bloody wonderful. Got to add, in terms of UI, it's immaculate. Definitely give it a go.

You're lucky you're pretty.

Was making progress in January and got a chest infection. Started making really good progress again and I get hit with a cold over the weekend. I hate being ill. I think it's mostly gone and I took the past four days off so I'm going to do a light gym session today. And probably for the wrest of the week so I can come back strong next week.

Yeah, I'm on the third palace and with Takemi levelled up to Rank 7 I got SP Adhesive 3 for 50,000. Plus with my boost in negotiation it's super easy to extort more money from Personas. Literally got about 13,000 Yen from one battle, although that was an extreme example.
