No progression system is not a con / negative. It is a pro / positive strength of the game where you can just step in and play any mode, use any gun, with any attachment. This game is obsessed with weapon details and realism and your progression is tied to you learning how to use each weapon and get better at the game.
Aside that, which I realize is a subjective difference of opinion, great review. This game is a lot of fun.
I think he meant that he wishes there was like unlockable skins
this game is probably the most fun I have had in VR period.
fax
Pistol whip, gt7 and puzzling places has us stuck in vr. 😂
Absolutely. I was skeptical about it before I bought it, but man, what a blast.
Was the bone series now this
This n gt7 is all I play! Still haven't even beat call of the mountain yet lol I'll get around to it eventually
Best game ever! The fact that there's no crouch button is my favorite part. You have to do the work if you want to be sneaky.
Absolutely love this game . Basically COD in VR which is amazing. Graphics are awesome and gunplay is fun. It can be a little hard , but as soon as you get used to it, becomes very enjoyable
In my opinion contractor's is more of a cod like game
this game plays more like counter strike in vr than cod
I love your reviews and I love you, bro. Please keep continuing your vision for VR community. Thank you!
Great review, and maybe the best value PSVR2 game right now. I can see myself dipping in and out of this game for a while to come. My one criticism is the tutorial can only go so far. For instance, there's nothing in game to tell you what all the roles do in TTT, what they are, how to use all those gadgets, what they are for, etc. Or how they can be an asset to one side or the other. It's all learned through word of mouth, searching the web & trial by error. These modes have gotten added over time to the pc version.
The best value has definitely got to be pistol whip. Endless fun, great music, accurate shooting and emulation. And above all else it's cheap.
@@GFG2gifted well I paid £20 for Pavlov.
I wish this game had a single player campaign because I don't do PVP anymore. It looks such a good game. Thank you for the great review.
I just picked up a PC and an Oculus in exchane for PSVR 2. If you ever do, try Pavlov on PC. The mod support makes you fall in love with PVP again.
They've uploaded all the old COD maps, you can play Black Ops 1 maps (Kino Der Toten included) with zombies, they even have a D-day map that extended to beyond Normandy. Def a game changer with mods
Your review style is fair, calm and informative without spoilers. Great stuff. Ŕegards from the Carromkid.
Thank you, I appreciate the compliment :D
The reviews are always fair. No fanboyism here.
Looking forward to jumping into this one. Still got so much stuff to get through first.
No grinding just gaming
This has been my favorite PSVR2 game by far!
On a Pavlov break so checking this vid out. Nice review! Well, guess it's time to go play some more Pavlov.
This turned out to be my favourite PSVR 2 title so far. The TTT mode is just hilarious and many times I've had to remove the headset from tears of laughter making everything blurry.
Great review but here are my issues. Pop in is more than once in a great while and happen on even small boards. Hit detection especially up close is poor. You will shoot someone point blank in center mass and it will not register at all. Spawns are crazy bad. You will spawn right infront of a whole team then respawn there twice more getting slaughtered immediately. The game is fun. Very fun. Once this goes cross play it will be hard to argue against getting it especially at cost. A few patches and this will be a great value but fix the hit detection And spawning.
Play in lobbies with lower ping & your shots will register. I have around 20-38 ping where others have over 300 because they are not using a lobby in their own country.
Love this game. Most fun I've had playing VR since my first PSVR experience in 2019, and the PSVR2 community on the game has generally been super fun, rarely have seen a lot of rude people. Will be playing this one for a *long* time
I cannot get over how beautiful this game looks. Woah.
Edit: Without a Crouch Button, I can't play due to space restrictions and disability.
Like others said, it is also for me the most fun I had in vr. What I like it is that you can play it "Cod style" or "SWAT style" . What I mean by "SWAT style" it is that you can apply real life tactics in the way you clear rooms, the way you shoot, reload, cover etc. A lot of fun and replayability. Just wish there was the modded modes and maps from pc (didn't see any in the server list yet ). And for finish great review as always !
Do you think something like this could be a training tool?
For personnal purpose yes, but as an official tool for example law enforcement, I don't think it is appropriate. Like you use joysticks for deplacements, which is not a good way to learn realistically how to walk in real life to clear a place, engage threats, take cover, etc. Like i said you can apply real life tactics in the game and the weapon manipulations are pretty good for most of the guns, but in my opinion, it will never replace the real thing.
@@alexlafreniere2599 the military already uses simulations to train, I don’t think it’s meant to replace the real thing-more of a supplemental program…but you can pick up the basics, no?
Omg. Pavlov. Love it so much. Lol
It's also one of the crispest looking psvr2 games, great clarity, really feels like a next gen title.
Man! This game is s blast once you get the gameplay. First time vr user here, and the ps vr 2 experience has been awesome so far 👌😂
Top marks as always Bryan 👌
100K subs inbound 🎉
Great review Bryan. While I'm not the greatest at PAVLOV, I've had a lot of fun with it. Will have to join you and the cats on a Sunday some time. Stay awesome!
Great game. A few more medium sized maps would be great. Hopefully they can get us on their community servers in the future (which I believe is the plan).
This review was ruined by having my voice in it 🤣
Thanks Bryan
Thank you for this fantastic review not played the game yet but definitely will it’s on the to do list, we are very blessed to have Brian Paul and withoutparole, for creating a VR community we can all live in you have definitely enriched my life and I speak for everyone thank you 🙏
Wow. Thanks for the kind words David
It honestly was a little weird for me. The transition from pcvr pavlov to psvr2 pavlov but after a couple plays I love pavlov all over again. I've had more fun in the past week than I've had in a long time in that game.
Great review! Love to see modes like TTT and prop hunt living on after their GMod haydays, but now in VR and on a current generation game console too!
Wait I can play prop hunt on vr 😂😂😂
I love the no progress XP deal. It means you can use all weapons from the start & someone who has been playing longer has no advantage in weapons because all because they unlocked better weapons. This game needs multiplayer target range so you can have competitions with others. OmegaBergs
Then you'll love this game even more than I did! :D
For real! I've been playing it for a few days and I love how I don't have to think about grinding for anything. You know how some games feel like work, after a while? You don't get that with Pavlov. It's just fun all the way. At least from the 20h I've played.
Stop killing me! 😆
It could do with a little customisation to help the longevity. Because right now you can't even choose what gun you use except in S&D
@@DanFarrell98 I'm guessing you mean "can't"? Because in most modes you can select whatever weapon and Loadout you want when you spawn and keep it for the entire match (or change it again next time you spawn). It's only random if you don't choose something.
TTT being called like among-us when it’s existed for much longer made me feel old
TTT was added to Pavlov in 2021, Among Us has been around since 2018. Don't worry, we're all old here lol
Biggest plus for this game is the tracking. It works so absolutely well making you feel like you're really inside that world. All the other games I play had wonky tracking compared to this, or lower graphics, or unrealistic relative size of surroundings.
It really is the best game on PSVR2
Spot on review!
Cosmetics would be the only thing I would want be added to the game to unlock. I love how you can just jump in and use every gun.
Great review of course.
Yeah the footsteps glitch is silly. For me I'm glad it has no progression system because that's what KILLED Alvo. :(
Loving pavlo, great people on there too bit of a learning curve but worth it
I'm glad you pointed out the footsteps 😂😂😂 Thought I was going crazy
Like the look of the game but no interest in multiplayer or the social aspects so hoping for a single player fps
Can you play mods, like maps etc? I once played it on PC and some of the most fun I had was on the role play style modes.
Why does this look better than when I play it with quest link pcvr
When do we get ctf?
My one complaint about Pavlov is the lack of a crouch button.
I'd love to play seated, because I can't stand for long periods of time on account of my arthritis... so if I play I'm either perma crouched or in a lot of pain standing for long periods.
But that aside I always have a blast when I play.
no slide and jump also
Some people use a bar stool to play. So you can sit in real life and still stand. And you can pick things up when necessary
The game is great but I really hope the rumours are true and the workshop comes to psvr2 where you can play custom maps like the PC version. If it does then I think games like firewall and Alvo might have a hard time pulling players back to them
Once Contractors VR got mod support on Quest, all the other games slowly withered away. Mod support is so important.. Once a game has it, few days later we'll all be playing Call of Duty maps all day long, and loving it. CoD maps are sooooo good in VR!
No progression system is WHY this game stand out. I'm so sick of that in CoD and the like.
Ahh yeah I'm sure if you play the annual Call of Duty games then you'll be sick of the things they've been doing for 2 decades now. I don't play them (I think the last one I spent time with was Modern Warfare 2 on PS3) so if a game doesn't have some kind of progression system it feels a little empty to me.
This game is the best online shooter i ever played. The people are awesome particulary if you disable the crossplay with pc. The voice chat and specially the hand gestures are hilarious yet immersive. After small learning curve with weapons and finding your favorite weapon every1 can be decent player in pavlov. Even me im so proud i was #1 of the winning team of TDM today i had 2 superb matches. 45 kills 30 deaths. There are so many funny and memorable moments and the gunplay in vr2 is just so rewarding. 100x better than controller. And pavlov dont have crouch button so you need to get down on floor yourself. Today i literally sat behind a sandbag or something like that and it was an excellent trap at the bridge i was hugging floor. I usually have stiff back but "pranks" like these get the best out of me. Killed many enemies like that. The rifle with medium scope that cost like 2300 is the best one. Today i dropped it 2 times and both times my team member stole it and didnt give it back :d. Also the hand gestures when i played infection and i was the monster and teamed with other monstet player and the gestures were awesome. I did this hands on side shrug like showing i dont know what to do here(my first infecgion match and map) and he start doing these comedic hand gestures how i go up the stairs etc. Also the hand signals when you accidentally shoot your team mate are hilarious.
Cant believe how much better psvr2 is than playinh with flat tv and controller. Ofc i enjoy games like dead island 2 and Elden ring still but VR is where im the happiest and most emgaged.
Played pavlov more than anything else yet on pvsr2, its lots of fun.
Though think the game would be better if more maps had set sides for spawning in team deathmatch, and it would be nice if the programming was smart enough to not spawn people (in any game mode) where people are looking and waiting. Ive been killed instantly after spawning many times and have smoked several others when they spawn in and it always feels like a cheap kill. The maps are big enough that they could have way more spawn points to avoid this.
It released later in Scandinavia. So when I got the game I already felt like I was way below everyone else in terms of skill. I kept getting stomped whatever I played, this is after I practiced for hours in the shooting range and against a friend. I had crossplay disabled as well. Haven't booted it up since.
Yoooo come join our discord and hang with us. Playing with friends is the only way to go! :D
Play offline against bots until you feel comfortable enough. Even the hardest difficulty is fairly easy in team deathmatch offline.
i use the PSVR:WP's Reviews intro song as my ringtone
Let's gooo bois
It's kind of hard as a new player to go up against long time veterans
I prefer no xp. Its all fun and skills. Counter strike is the most popular shooter ever on pc and there was no xp.
Any feedback on prescription lenses with PSVR2? I am considering Hons or VR Optician. How clear is the image? Do you slide the lens on? Any issues with eye tracking? How long to deliver? I am getting me prescription updated this week ... had PSVR2 day 1 but haven't opened the box. Have been waiting to get prescription lenses.
Nothing yet. I want to get my eyes checked and get a set for myself though, so if I can make that happen soon I'll let you know!
I just got my VR Optician ones. Highly recommend them. Made a big clarity difference for me.
Until my friends get a psvr2 im probably not gonna be playing online.
Bryan what would you rate the solo part of this game?
I almost forgot-
Great review as always 👏
You rock 🤟
If you are not planning to play online, I would not recommend Pavlov. It is a multiplayer shooter. That being said, even if your real friends aren't playing with you, there are a ton of cool people playing on here that it doesn't really matter. You will have a blast with strangers and they will strategize with you (for the most part).
Can you break necks in Pavlov? Or any way to stealth kill?
Love this game. Plus, now that I am in your review video, I am an international celebrity!
I'll definitely be picking this up eventually. Too much singleplayer content to play still!
So glad to see the channel taking off and becoming such an awesome independent game channel! You are a really awesome person to play these FPS VR games with and I couldn’t think of a better personality from the firewall community to become a voice for Playstation’s VR exclusives
Channel took off a longtime ago🎉🎉
Haven't had as much fun in VR, via a social community probably ever. Solaris was great fun however.
Yessssssss one in the chamber is awesome.... until I played TTT Simon says ... it's fk crazy 🤪
Tho it's abit repetitive. Lack of modes/maps. If you get a good group going, this is top 3 VR games. The problem is lack of everything. It feels like more a beta play test than a full release. The lack of alot of basic features. But its a great game specially for its price tag.
Best psvr2 game for now. Love it really muuuch.
Still haven't picked this one up. I want to finish RE8 first. BTW, silly question - how do I pull up the map in RE8? LOL
Reach behind your left lower back. This gives you the map in your hand and and if you use the trigger button will allow you to zoom in and take a closer look. Basically, it’s on the back of your left hip.
@@randystegnersr.5478 Thanks a million!
One of the only issues I have is with your own footstep audio. The audio moves places as you turn your head which makes it harder to tel if it's your own steps or someone else's at times... it isnt just me right? Anyone else find this?
Oh never mind, the video mentions this further on (I was watching while commenting). So not just me then 😂.
Rip alvo you will most likely be forgotten
3:36 how do you playing mod with tanks ?
How long are the waiting times?
Nonexistent. Chose a server, click on it and play.
Watched this video and convinced me to buy the game. So happy I did.
how is the movement? what buttons do what?
Full locomotion with Thumbsticks. Buttons do things depending on what you got in your hands.
Spot on review. Not a perfect game but also the perfect game. And never trust Myles Dyer in TTT lol
Don't you have an issue with finding lobby? I still didn't have chance to play zombie coop online, there also 1-2 lobbies with gun game which usually are full, join to any game is a huge success
Yea that suck man. When I bought psvr 2 I expected to mainly be solo so I’m not surprised
It uses the old server browser system, so you have to play at the right time of day and day of the week to play the less popular modes
Does it have matchmaking with randoms?
Tried playing with a friend who has pc. He hates the game as they have a rampant cheating issue with people flying across the map. But for ps5 players its really fun
Just found your channel from lsm
That's awesome! It was so cool to hang out with Dustin and talk, love those guys! :D
This looks amazing. Wow
This or after the fall?
Since last week my latency has been horrible on 1 gigabit fiber optic. PS5 gets around 160-250 mbps wifi. All was good previously, now I am hitting 200+ ms ping on average. Low as 88, but jumps up every few seconds. Can't even reload, anyone else have this issue?
Why isn't mine launched yet?
I wish they would have ported Contractors instead of Pavlov
Do i need a psplus to play this?
I'm into it.
Hey I need some help so I just bought Pavlov and psvr2 and for some reason it only lets me point and click and not move with the joysticks so I figured I just needed to learn the game in the tutorial but I go to the tutorial and it tells me to sprint but the sprint was not working for some reason either do I couldent make it passed even that pls is there some setting I need to enable or something plz somone help I get that I just got this thing so there is a learning curv but all the let’s plays on the same setup seemed to just work I dident see them mess with any settings or anything pls sos
Hey! You've got to change your movement settings in the in-game menu. The problem is that every game calls their settings something different. The "point and click" movement you're talking about is usually referred to as teleportation, whereas normal movement is called "smooth locomotion" --- but it goes by quite a few names. Let me know if that helps at all :D
@@WithoutParole thanks im so new to the vr space i just used my brothers quest two and was blown away so i waited for the psvr2 to come out bought it and flipped when nothing was working but right now im waiting for one of the controllers to charge sense i put it on wrong i guess the first time also can the official chargeing stand charge both controllers at the same time? i tried it on the last one and one of them was fully charged whilst the other one was still dead which was frustrateing after waiting 2hrs
yea so plugged the headset in and it emidiatly started working with all games only one i have not tried is no mans sky @@WithoutParole though for as fun as games like pavlov were even in my small room i felt kinda underehelmed for some reason maybe because i bought into the youtubers who were hypeing the vr2 to the moon along with the games. but if i compare it to the vr1 which was my last headset its pretty nice but idk still enjoyable enough i suppose but i only just started so it would be unfair to just judge it based on 3hrs or so of testing it out and basicly playin through the tutorials of the games i bought
so addictive
Dear devs, please fix pop in for perfect immersion.
Thank you, John Krashinski.
o.O
How do you play pvp
I'm the only one in my friend group that has PSVR 2. How is it playing this game with randoms?
Sounds like you need more friends with PSVR2 headsets Bryant! Feel free to join our discord - we've got a pretty awesome community of people to play games with. Randoms will always be hit or miss...
Is they add a battle Royale game mode I don’t think I’d ever ever ever stop playing this game🤷 but I’ve also already put so many hours into this game I guess they don’t need to lol
I bet its nice to not have to play with a million kids, since the cost of entry is much higher than the Quest. Im definitely looking forward to picking up a PSVR2 at some point.
And it was only £20 on the store when I got it. A steal.
Is it cross-platform?
Not yet. But the announced to enable crossplay with PC somtimes soon.
Weird that it's free on quest though
Not weird. On Quest it's the truncated Pavlov Shack and it's still in Beta.
Can you play that while sitting down?
This is what I'm curious about. And the motion sickness...
No
@cyphersuit1 That's no good I was thinking about buying it there's no point now
If they want more gamers to buy it they should install a sitting mode
Even with both new shooters released this month (I purchased both) Pavlov is still better
Being disabled, can i play this game sitting down? What are the cons if sitting down?
Unfortunatly it's meant to be played standing. If you are sitting or to short (for example: a kid) the game registeres you as crouching...
do you need playstaition plus
????
Outside of F2P games, you need PlayStation Plus for ANY online gaming. So yeah, Pavlov needs Plus
@@WithoutParole oof well thanks for the info
I'm a single player gamer to a fault.
Wish it had a full campaign and i would have gladly played it.
Too bad i can't stand other people in my games. Which is totally on me but i just don't like to be social in games....
I can identify with this. I was only into single player adventures until PSVR came around. Still though - I have to be in the right mood to play with other people. And by "other people" I mean friends, not randoms online lol :D
@@WithoutParole definitely, I've had some horrible experiences that completely turned me off of multiplayer modes in games.
I remember i was playing the division at some point and some dude started telling me where to go and where to wait to ambush the enemy.
When i didn't do exactly what he wanted he started yelling at me and call me all kind of names.
I was done after that.
Same here. I'm not playing online. I miss far point and blood and thruth. Psvr 2 is still very young, maybe something like an RPG or a remaster will come up. Let's see
How can you not mention Counter Strike??
I bought it and I'm scared to even start it. I think I'll feel sick immediately :-/
I'm so jealous of people who can just run in a game like this while in reality just stand still. I wish these games had third person modes.
You can get used to motion sickness,play other games first. I played horizon sitting first.
Same fear here, motion sickness. Would really want to buy it, but in doubt
@@stefandinu6389 I've dealt with it since years ago with PSVR1. If I regularly play games it gets better over time. But I'm busy and I don't play games regularly, especially not VR games. So after not playing for a while, I feel sick pretty fast.
And even when I do get used to it, standing in place or sitting down while moving around in space is not "immersive" to me. It's weird. It would be more immersive if I was in that space watching my character from a third person camera.
I wish I wasn't so curious about missing out on something special. Would refund it, but PS store policy is lacking even in EU. Don't like the "usual players" so far and the gameplay loop isn't mine neither. If I had to choose one game I regret buying it would be this one. 🙄
Same.
trouble in terrorist town sure is… a name.
Not my kind of game but if it helps sell more PSVR2s that's all for the good.
TTT is the best mode by far! BUT it can also be the worst when the lobby is full of bro bros and safe spacers always askin if you mad bro? Aim assist seems so be a thing too, magical headshots I know Im not making happen often in 1v1 encounters.
You mad bro? :D
No Campaign to plays Off-line 👎👎🏻
