First off love the game!!! Absolutely amazing. I was just curious why did yall have to black out the windows? I’m sure there was some technical reason but I genuinely missed being able to look outside to see what time of day it is and also the ambiance.
@@FunKingNerd On Quest 2 the overdraw from the windows and amount of geometry ourside being needlessly rendered was killing framerate. We tried a few different approaches to solving this and then someone said... "do we need to see outside?" and we gained 10-15fps amost instantly!
@ thanks for the explanation! I knew it had to be Something along those lines. I appreciate what y’all have created. It’s definitely one of my favorite games for sure!
Must buy for me. Been wanting to see a lightgun arcade cabinet in VR for quite a while. Would love a retro lightgun compilation without having to set up a ton of hardware to work around the limitations of LCD TVs.
@@MrGamecatCanaveral yes i am open to them. I got resident 8 and creed 2. Creed i only got so that people who come thru can just pick up and play. Gonna get gt7. What do you suggest?
@@yurpcrusher123 RE4. Saints and Sinners 1 & 2. No Man’s Sky. The Light Brigade. Walkabout Minigolf. Ancient Dungeon. There are plenty of other good ones out there too, checking this channel for those reviews will help. These I named are my big ones. Very excited for you.
@@yurpcrusher123 good choices already. Re4, no mans sky, gt7, Pavlov, barbaria, walking dead. I like beat saber, pistol whip, puzzling places, mini golf, propagation hotel scares me!
So I just bought it yesterday and this is fantastic.There’s something for everyone in the 30+ arcade games.I love the basketball and missle command spin off.The 80s ish tune “out run the world and most all the tracks are awesome with great variety.I dig the pixel people and how I get so aggravated picking up trash.I love this one.Really loved the zombat2 game too.
Awesome! I just bought it. I hope these great games keep coming out, it makes the FOMO of not investing in a capable PC for PSVR2 and PCVR a bit more bearable 😅
Near the University of Pennsylvania campus there used to be an arcade with a laundromat next to it. They were both owned by the same people. The building is all arcade now.
@@dadrester Thank you for your reply! 🙂 I know you're British, but I thought maybe one of you had been to the US for a semester or two as an exchange student. Btw, does the DLC for the regular, Steam version work with the VR version?
Based on many hours of experience with the original game, you really need to ignore the laundry and start playing the games right away. The games will make you ten times the money the laundromat will, DON'T devote any time to the wash.
As the game director and person who balanced the economy, I applaud this! We never tell the player they'll make more by just playing games, and just let them figure it out themselves, but it makes me smile a lot if i'm watching a stream and see the moment when people finally do realise!
What I love is the transition I went through as a player. From feeling like I worked at a laundromat to feeling like I worked at an arcade. Most people will probably want to get right to the arcade stuff but I’m glad I took my time and went on that journey
@@dadrester I never figured that out… literally watched credits rolled with every cabinet including dlc and never knew that. In my defense the laundry only takes seconds to load and you can very much play and work. You can earn quite a lot doing both all day.
I played the PS4 version A LOT and when the ps5 version came I was not able to transfer my data-file and the Devs weren't either. But now the psvr2 version is out I really don't mind to start from the beginning. I'm 1h30 in but I know what's coming and sooooooooooo looking forward to it. I feel like a little girl again and relive my 80's arcade time again that consumed too much of my weekly allowances at that time. Thanks for the great review. Take my money Wired, and already looking forward to the new arcade dlc's like you did for the PS4/5.
Laundromat arcade reminds me when our washing machine broke in the 90s and my mom had to use the nearby laundromat for a couple weeks. There was a Ms. Pacman game that she played and she ended up buying it for the Super Nintendo! It was the only game I ever saw my mom play lol but it was cool as a 3rd grader to see my mom get into a game.
There was a "Centipede" in the 7 eleven next to the "Suds -n-Tumble" coin operated launderette. I was an expert on that machine, and I would always leave many lives on it for other kids to play for free.
5:55 wait I’m playing a VR game where the in game character puts on a VR headset to play a different VR game…?! My brain will not know how to process that, it’s the start of the matrix.., This game does seem really cool though!
hahaha... just wait until you play "Knuckles and Knees" the side scrolling beat em up and go into the pixel art kingwash laundomat... where you find 5 fully playable micro arcades! (and also unlock the Arcadeception Trophy)
Thank you for a very thoughtful review, you are a gem for this community. I have yet to open up my psvr2 but I am anticipating some incredible experiences.
Wow, awesome! I spent way too much time in Pinball Petes in Michigan as a kid, this looks made for people like me. If anyone else is old af like me and misses that time make a pilgrimage to Galloping Ghost Arcade in Brookfield, Illinois. It's one of the last places left like this and they have EVERYthing there, like hundreds and almost all are working. Do it.
I loved the flat version and love it in VR! I hope for another game where you can get high profile players and invite them to your arcade and get a boost in money as well as cabinets and popularity. Maybe the ability to hold tournaments including some multiplayer tournaments for those who want that experience. There's definitely more for a follow-up game and I hope it happens.
Thanks for the review, Brian. Always appreciate your insight. I also appreciate that I can play this with the tv off so that my wife doesn’t see me doing laundry or cleaning up. If she ever found out that I was capable of such tasks… Well it would be bad.
"what'd you do last night?"........"Um....I spent it washing strangers delicates".....Imagine pitching this in the 80s and 90s..."Vr will be games about doing laundry, then playing lame arcade games"....We would have laughed so freakin hard....yet its so much dam fun...
Awesome review, as always! I was definitely considering this one when I first heard of it and wishlisted it on PSN, but after your review, I'm 100% getting this! I was a teen in the 80's and loved going to the arcade, though my mother didn't let me go until I was 13, because "drug dealers hang out there. " 😅
Already platinum'd the regular version last year and remember it having some frustrating trophies. But I enjoyed the game enough to persevere through it. Also remember enjoying most of the songs on the jukebox. Only $10 for the VR upgrade so I'll jump back in sooner or later. Originally played this back-to-back with Paradise Killer, a retro-style first-person open world mystery game that also had an amazing soundtrack. Would love for that to get a VR upgrade too someday.
I just noticed in the PS App, if you go to the little rocket ship icon thing where it gets you to Official News, the tile that says Arcade Paradise VR out now… if you click Learn More it opens the PlayStation web store and it has the individual game there BUT the link brings you to the UK site only. Have to assume someone will notice and fix this today. Hopefully.
Looks very good. I just recently finished the original Arcade Paradise PS5 game, which I really enjoyed. Aside from a few jangy game controls here or there. It sounds like everything that was and much more in VR, so with my new PSVR2 purchase I think I'm going to have to play through the VR version of it. :)
I Just downloaded the game and ready to play it. Too bad I gotta redo all the trophies and game progress on the VR version because I already played the flat screen arcade paradise. Good thing it's a fun game to play. Hope all the other gamecats enjoy it as much as I do.
Since you already bought the flat screen version did u buy the Vr2 version separately? Or did you find an upgrade path? I bought the flatscreen but I don’t see an upgrade path. I have the high score version and don’t want to pay for that version again because it’s like $50.
@w1ldone573 I did buy the $50 bundle just because It comes with all the DLC cabinets that you can't get with the base game. I got a bonus at work, so I had the extra cash, plus I took 2 days of vacation just to pay this.
@@jonathanbloxham2706 very nice that you bought the bundle. I had the High score bundle on the flat version and don’t know if I buy the $9 dollar base game that that will give me the whole thing or not. I didn’t want to buy the whole game again. Oh well we will see.
@w1ldone573 I'm pretty sure the base game is not going to come with the extra cabinets. That's how Sony makes their money is to sell you the game and DLC twice. 🤷♂️ maybe the company of the game gets some of the profit too. Just like shadow of colossus for ps2, ps3, and ps4. I bought them all for all 3 consoles, but that game was well worth it if you know what I mean.
@w1ldone573 but I will tell you this, the game in VR is a whole different experience and a must try. I wish I had two extra duel sense controllers so I don't have to take breaks from the controller charging. 😕
I bought this for me and my wee daughter. We love it. But having tracking issues which is weird because I thought PSVR2 solved all the PSVR tracking crappie lol its still a fun game though 😂🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊❤
I was too it turned out I was blocking the lights in the controllers with my other hand. same with Zombieland and Mini golf, I was holding it with 2 hands like a golf club and blocking tracking...Just a thought. Good luck.
this was a great review. i wasnt that interested in the game despite loving retro arcades, due to the arcade games not being authentic games, but the review sold me on it
deffo better looking machine models and emptying models and anims then the original version, i loved the flat one, just wish there were even more expansions to the building and more machines
@@dadrester Appreciate the response. Not sure what that means though. We can't access the dlc games in vr yet but maybe an announcement is forthcoming to fix that later?
@@RemyLabue Sorry, been a busy day, haha. To clarify, there's no crossover between flat and VR in terms of save or DLC. Best to think of it as a new game.
The PSVR2 version has 39 cabinets. There are 6 exclusive VR games and some ones that have been reworked for VR. DLC games Smoke'Em and ROGER are included.
I absolutely loved this game on the Quest 3. When I heard it was coming to PSVR2, I stopped playing and waited for that version. Sounds like it was worth the wait since it has some things the Quest version is missing like actual people in the arcade (unless they changed that after I stopped playing). Plus I'm sure the colors pop on the OLED display. Definitely getting right away. I don't mind buying the game twice as this game is awesome!
Does this one also have the Konami code that unlocks "Golden washers" which always net you the max amount of money no matter how long you take? if so I may have to double dip and buy the VR one as well.
@@ElephantTrap That I did :D (it's also a trophy though). In VR it doesn't make as much of a difference as timing is no longer an issue. We removed the mechanic where you have to be fast to get an S-Rank and replaced it with a much more chill loop where you just need to get the type of wash right.
@dadrester ooh cool. Really looking forward to this game later this evening. I can already imagine this with online. Spending time in eachothers arcade hall, playing together or just hang out. Maybe a possibility for the future 😊
This seems to be everything I’d want in a game. 90’s setting and music, some form of management/upgrade/growth system(s). Time to buy immediately! 20% off on the US store for PS+ owners so even more incentive!
Great review, Bryan! Question though - the game doesn't seem to be available in Canada yet, it's only as part of a three game bundle. Would you consider $39.99 CAD for Arcade Paradise VR, Tin Hearts and The Last Worker to be a good deal?
I'd hold off until the store updates and you can get Arcade Paradise VR on its own for about half that. The Last Worker was okay but Tin Hearts was meh.
I don’t know if owning the VR version allows for flat screen play, but if you buy the flat screen version the VR version price goes down to $9.99 so with the current sale it’s actually cheaper to buy both.
@@WithoutParole ok, now i see the vr version for 9.99. I guess it was a bundle for flat and vr for 30, without the upgrade discount. Still 30 for that bundle is a good deal
Let us know how far you expand your "Laundry Laundromat Paradise". Does Kate Upton show when you max out the Laundromat to Laundry mat Sauna steam-Room?!?! -_^
Unless there's been a patch that addresses this I believe the autosave kicks in at the end of each day or the beginning of the next so if you quit (the option should be on your tablet) make sure you do it then so you don't lose progress
How do you buy it cause the link on the official trailer leads to a bundle only. Is it cheaper to buy the original game then buy the VR seperate? But how do I buy the VR upgrade?
I'd hold off a bit. There was a separate listing for Arcade Paradise VR prior to launch, it just hadn't reappeared on the PlayStation Store yet. EDIT - it's back up now with a 20% launch discount for Plus members ! :D
you said the haptics was great. Can you specify exactly what you felt? Have you played this on the quest 3? Are you talking about the triggers or just the rumble? How much better is it than quest 3, if at all?
on quest3 u get to feel haptics every time the quest battery dies so to keep playing u get to throw the quest controllers against the wall to go buy psvr2. lol. :)
Im not sure whats wrong with my game. Only 15 minutes in, I cant do anything besides play the 3 games. I was just starting the tutorials, too. Last thing I did was empty the change drawer, but the prompt to do so stayed up after I emptied the money, only disappearing after playing a game. Now I cant do anything and there isn't a "quest marker" or the next tutorial ,which I think should have been putting the money in a safe? Idk but I cant do anything
Hey. Are you sure you emptied all machines? There are the 3 arcade machines in the back room during the tutorial and also the laundromat token machine. Gerald should call you and tell you to "remember to empty the token machine and put the cash in the safe". It's just to the left as you exit the backroom and head back into the laundrette.
Thanks, I had already contacted them. I figured out what was going on- So it appears the ps5's "resume game" boot up option doesn't play nice with the game. I ended up shutting down the ps5 and launched the game normally (clicking the game icon/card on ps5 hub). I immediately noticed on the home screen "new game" and not continue/load game. So I decided to start over since I was only in the tutorial anyways. Everything works as it should, plus there were more assets in the game. Books of cards, npcs, and other items. I've had "continue game" issues in the past. More flat than vr but issues like this nonetheless.
@dadrester I appreciate the suggestion. There was no option to drain the cabinets, only the change machine's. This was caused by my comment regarding "continue game"
@@J-SinI'm the game director by the way. This is a new one to me. You're saying that you suspended the game on PS5 during that section (where you have to empty the 4 hoppers) and when you went back in, 3 of the 4 arrows were missing?! If so we'll get QA to try and repro.
Can't interact with a ton of stuff (like pressing x for computer chat halfway in vid, and almost no controller/drink grabbing) and pretty buggy (weird screen tearing or air hockey computer looping itself). Surprised people are happy to double dip when stuff like demeo or cave digger lets you play non VR free. There's potential with what works (save in tablet forcing a quit is annoying too rather than intuitive autosave) though crazy that cleaning the toilet doesn't let you soap/wash your hands.
@dadrester I've played it and what interactions? You can't even clean with cleaning products nor 2 hand the toilet cleaner properly. You also should have to maintain the dryer/washing machines, but do tell me if that happens later on since I've only done 3 days. That tablet can accidentally make a player hit their controllers together too with how close the hands have to be, let alone who would go to quit to save the game in this autosave day it actually lacks? Trash is 1 hand and disappears by letting go (not putting in a receptacle) until it fills the bag to magically appear and you play basketball with the dumpster. You also don't fold laundry nor interact with the keyboard/mouse in addition to the controller/drinks I mentioned. It's patched on and kinda a ripoff given you pay a tax to get VR, and need a bundle for non VR. Any VR optional game doesn't rip you off like this. It can be fun when getting better arcade games, but is nowhere as intuitive as power wash simulator, which I doubt will ever have a PSVR2 release.
thanks dude, literally went over it perfectly and now i’m gonna buy it cuz of you. and it’s on a lil sale, 15.99, can you review the new game that came out called “Compound” it looks like doom
Absolutely. After the first couple hours you pretty much never have to do laundry again - and I probably spent way more time doing it than necessary. You can get to the Arcade stuff way sooner than I did :D
The arcades games that are not fun, in all fairness i used to hang out at arcades and there were games that were just just not fun, so on that it gets i right imo. And if you say Strike Gold. isn't fun I'll be over to have a few words.
yup. Long time VR vet here who plays GT7 for hours in PS VR2, Roller coasters, free motion, all no problem, but this, I had tp put on click turning and still nope. Going to keep at it though. It started to get interesting buying new games.

Already around 28% into the game and I agree with everything in that review. What a sweet little gem for a 80s kid.
This game is a distressing reenactment of my childhood, where I used my dad's laundry coins for video game tokens. 😵💫

The PSVR2 version has 39 cabinets. There are 6 exclusive VR games and some ones that have been reworked for VR. DLC games Smoke'Em and ROGER are included.
@@PrenticeSummerscales Nice, that's better than nothing. Hope to see the rest in the future. Thanks for the clarification.
I absolutely loved this game on the Quest 3. When I heard it was coming to PSVR2, I stopped playing and waited for that version. Sounds like it was worth the wait since it has some things the Quest version is missing like actual people in the arcade (unless they changed that after I stopped playing). Plus I'm sure the colors pop on the OLED display. Definitely getting right away. I don't mind buying the game twice as this game is awesome!
Does this one also have the Konami code that unlocks "Golden washers" which always net you the max amount of money no matter how long you take? if so I may have to double dip and buy the VR one as well.
It does. I asked the devs a question and after they answered they send me another tweet with a cheat code 😅
@@ElephantTrap That I did :D (it's also a trophy though). In VR it doesn't make as much of a difference as timing is no longer an issue. We removed the mechanic where you have to be fast to get an S-Rank and replaced it with a much more chill loop where you just need to get the type of wash right.
@dadrester ooh cool. Really looking forward to this game later this evening. I can already imagine this with online. Spending time in eachothers arcade hall, playing together or just hang out. Maybe a possibility for the future 😊
This seems to be everything I’d want in a game. 90’s setting and music, some form of management/upgrade/growth system(s). Time to buy immediately!
20% off on the US store for PS+ owners so even more incentive!
Great review, Bryan! Question though - the game doesn't seem to be available in Canada yet, it's only as part of a three game bundle. Would you consider $39.99 CAD for Arcade Paradise VR, Tin Hearts and The Last Worker to be a good deal?
I'd hold off until the store updates and you can get Arcade Paradise VR on its own for about half that. The Last Worker was okay but Tin Hearts was meh.
Try hitting refresh now. I've been told North America has updated.
Retro kid so I'm getting this for sure.
Thanks for the review 👍!
@WithoutParole This game is a distressing reenactment of my childhood, where I used my dad's laundry coins for video game tokens.😵💫
Do you have to buy the flat version and then buy the VR upgrade or can you just straight up by the VR version?
U mentioned a discount if we own flat version ?
Played a fair bit on Gamepass and had a blast. Certainly on the list for a future purchase.
Let’s gooo!
I don’t know if owning the VR version allows for flat screen play, but if you buy the flat screen version the VR version price goes down to $9.99 so with the current sale it’s actually cheaper to buy both.
Aewosme have been looking forward to this for a while. Held out for the PSVR2 vs just getting it on Quest.
The flat version was great but paused playing when i heard it was coming to VR. Can't wait to jump back in
On my to buy list right now!
How do u get the upgrade if you already own the game? Right now I don’t see an upgrade path.
The base game is $9 but I own the high score version and that one is like $40 something dollars. Feels wrong
Is there a demo version?
Playing on quest 3 and the wonky controls are there aswell,but the game is still fantastic 👍🤘🍻
This game needs real arcade machines via emulators.
I'm absolutely buying this
Why is tjere a bundle for aracde paradise, tin hearts, and the last worker,.. all for the same price as arcade paradise by itself?
Oooh nice find. It's $30 though and currently Arcade Paradise VR (by far the best game in the bundle) is less than $20 with the launch discount.
And 10 euro when you already got the PS4/5 version. A no brainer.@@WithoutParole
@@WithoutParole ok, now i see the vr version for 9.99. I guess it was a bundle for flat and vr for 30, without the upgrade discount. Still 30 for that bundle is a good deal
@@AndrewEhrenreich I think (but please don't quote me on this) the full Arcade Paradise pack contains both flat and VR but also all the DLC for flat.
Teleport walk? Demo?
I'm absolutely running that Laundromat for fun. 😅
Let us know how far you expand your "Laundry Laundromat Paradise". Does Kate Upton show when you max out the Laundromat to Laundry mat Sauna steam-Room?!?! -_^
Oh no your hand gets stuck in the washing machine you say? 😏
So is this out now? When I look in the Play Store I'm only seeing what I think is the flat screen version and some DLCs
In some places it is. Here in the States I don't think it's officially out yet. EDIT - it's out now with a 20% launch discount for Plus members
I still like carnival games so I’ll love this
oh man I played the HELL out of Carnival until I unlocked every prize and accolade. So much fun in VR, and super "one more go" addictive.
@@hsss1 my favorite is horseshoes and ringtoss
Does the game come with the original games DLC?
6 VR-exclusive cabinets feature in this version.
Maaaan, there goes $15 🌬💸 #purchased
Getting soon as get a new VR
Is there no way to open a menu to save and exit? Iv pushed all buttons
Unless there's been a patch that addresses this I believe the autosave kicks in at the end of each day or the beginning of the next so if you quit (the option should be on your tablet) make sure you do it then so you don't lose progress
@@WithoutParole i guess I don't know how to open the tablet haha thanks for the fast reply tho man
How do you buy it cause the link on the official trailer leads to a bundle only. Is it cheaper to buy the original game then buy the VR seperate? But how do I buy the VR upgrade?
I'd hold off a bit. There was a separate listing for Arcade Paradise VR prior to launch, it just hadn't reappeared on the PlayStation Store yet. EDIT - it's back up now with a 20% launch discount for Plus members ! :D
you said the haptics was great. Can you specify exactly what you felt? Have you played this on the quest 3? Are you talking about the triggers or just the rumble? How much better is it than quest 3, if at all?
on quest3 u get to feel haptics every time the quest battery dies so to keep playing u get to throw the quest controllers against the wall to go buy psvr2. lol. :)
Will buy immediately. Thank you!
Im not sure whats wrong with my game. Only 15 minutes in, I cant do anything besides play the 3 games. I was just starting the tutorials, too. Last thing I did was empty the change drawer, but the prompt to do so stayed up after I emptied the money, only disappearing after playing a game.
Now I cant do anything and there isn't a "quest marker" or the next tutorial ,which I think should have been putting the money in a safe? Idk but I cant do anything
I passed your message along to Nosebleed Interactive --- if I hear anything back I'll let you know!
Hey. Are you sure you emptied all machines? There are the 3 arcade machines in the back room during the tutorial and also the laundromat token machine.
Gerald should call you and tell you to "remember to empty the token machine and put the cash in the safe". It's just to the left as you exit the backroom and head back into the laundrette.
Thanks, I had already contacted them.
I figured out what was going on-
So it appears the ps5's "resume game" boot up option doesn't play nice with the game. I ended up shutting down the ps5 and launched the game normally (clicking the game icon/card on ps5 hub). I immediately noticed on the home screen "new game" and not continue/load game. So I decided to start over since I was only in the tutorial anyways. Everything works as it should, plus there were more assets in the game. Books of cards, npcs, and other items.
I've had "continue game" issues in the past. More flat than vr but issues like this nonetheless.
@dadrester I appreciate the suggestion. There was no option to drain the cabinets, only the change machine's. This was caused by my comment regarding "continue game"
@@J-SinI'm the game director by the way. This is a new one to me. You're saying that you suspended the game on PS5 during that section (where you have to empty the 4 hoppers) and when you went back in, 3 of the 4 arrows were missing?! If so we'll get QA to try and repro.
Can't interact with a ton of stuff (like pressing x for computer chat halfway in vid, and almost no controller/drink grabbing) and pretty buggy (weird screen tearing or air hockey computer looping itself).
Surprised people are happy to double dip when stuff like demeo or cave digger lets you play non VR free.
There's potential with what works (save in tablet forcing a quit is annoying too rather than intuitive autosave) though crazy that cleaning the toilet doesn't let you soap/wash your hands.
It does in VR
@dadrester I've played it and what interactions? You can't even clean with cleaning products nor 2 hand the toilet cleaner properly.
You also should have to maintain the dryer/washing machines, but do tell me if that happens later on since I've only done 3 days. That tablet can accidentally make a player hit their controllers together too with how close the hands have to be, let alone who would go to quit to save the game in this autosave day it actually lacks?
Trash is 1 hand and disappears by letting go (not putting in a receptacle) until it fills the bag to magically appear and you play basketball with the dumpster.
You also don't fold laundry nor interact with the keyboard/mouse in addition to the controller/drinks I mentioned.
It's patched on and kinda a ripoff given you pay a tax to get VR, and need a bundle for non VR. Any VR optional game doesn't rip you off like this. It can be fun when getting better arcade games, but is nowhere as intuitive as power wash simulator, which I doubt will ever have a PSVR2 release.
I played it on Xbox I loved it
thanks dude, literally went over it perfectly and now i’m gonna buy it cuz of you. and it’s on a lil sale, 15.99, can you review the new game that came out called “Compound” it looks like doom
Sure! ruclips.net/video/CE85xif_UY0/видео.html
damm this came out at the wrong time i just purchased the pc adaptator... half life alyx or arcade paradise? think the choise is easy made
It's also coming to Steam VR in... 1 hour and 14 minutes!
Both games are on sale (if you have PS Plus) so it sounds like a great double bill to me.
Nice
Skeeball?
In this universe The Matrix was released a decade earlier!
Can my step sister get stuck in a dryer and need my help to get out😂?
Can I transfer my professs from my ps5 version to this
No, the save files are separate between both versions.
@@PrenticeSummerscales ah okay Ty so much
2:02 NIN
VRFULAA.
lol vr within vr ❤
Haha right? You should check out VVR: Virtual Virtual Reality. It's that concept times 10 :D
It there a point whet you can just play the games, and not do laundry anymore?
Absolutely. After the first couple hours you pretty much never have to do laundry again - and I probably spent way more time doing it than necessary. You can get to the Arcade stuff way sooner than I did :D
@@WithoutParoleafter a longer while you break up the washing machines completely and only keep the arcade. A BIG arcade.
@@eldalymorningstar oh i'm aware lol. I rolled credits 2 days ago. super satisfying :D
Just bought this for quest 3......
Its ok, but i tried to refund it....but i missed the refund window......
So im stuck with it...😊🔥
I'm planning on buying this for my Quest 3 as well. What didn't you like about it? Was it different from the PSVR2 gameplay seen In this video?
this game is not what i thought it was at all , lol
The arcades games that are not fun, in all fairness i used to hang out at arcades and there were games that were just just not fun, so on that it gets i right imo. And if you say Strike Gold. isn't fun I'll be over to have a few words.
Ohhh this one has really peaked my interest!
Anyone else get motion sickness playing this? Very few VR games make me like that. 🤮
yup. Long time VR vet here who plays GT7 for hours in PS VR2, Roller coasters, free motion, all no problem, but this, I had tp put on click turning and still nope. Going to keep at it though. It started to get interesting buying new games.
And first
Hope I’m 5th
I hope I’m first
