I loved SR3, actually. Please try not to read into posts so much and lighten up. People have differing opinions and that's okay.

I always laugh at people who look at Saint's Row as anything more than a "jump in and gently caress poo poo up/have fun in an open world" type of game, which is the best parts of GTA.

I liked Saints Row 2 the most but although I am not a big fan of Saints Row 3, Saints Row 4 is a very fun game. Gat Out of Hell seems pretty alright and I'd like to play it at some point.



I thought 3 was a fun but flawed and 4 just went so far into the silly that I ended up not caring. I really hope they stop escalating the whacky for 5.

I don't know.. I'm not seeing much game there other than an experience/tech demo. After a week or so with the Oculus Rift you'll burn through all the demos and experiences' and similiar hunks of crap and start searching for something with actual gameplay to it made by an actual game developer.

Don't get me wrong it looks nice, but you've got demos like Sightline: The Chair and Vanguard Valkyrie that do the exact same thing for free.


With No Limits 2 you get a really well made rollercoaster sim that blows the hell out of the Unreal Castlecoaster demo, with the added bonus of Steamworks integration to go along with the built-in editor. Simply put I've found it to be an incredibly solid vr package that I'd strongly recommend to anyone with a Rift. Hats off to the devs as well for the flawless vr integration, one of the best I've had, and I've deleted a good half-dozen or so "no really the rift is cool let me just loving fiddle with the setup for 10min so you can try it" demos I've accumulated.

I'm thinking of grabbing Euro Truck as well later as that has some extremely positive reviews regarding VR integration.
Other than that I've played HL1 and 2, and their both a ton of fun in VR. Though HL1 suffers from a lot of hilarious scaling issues once you put the Rift on; though you can hardly fault a game over a decade old for it's newly added VR technology.
Oh.. And gently caress everything about Ravenholm in VR.

If anyone has any recommendations or is curious about how a game plays with an Oculus Rift I'd be happy to give a review if it looks interesting enough to pick up.

It seems to have made great inroads into the entire sim genre, for more or less obvious reasons. Games like Assetto Corsa and the upcoming Project: Cars both tout full Rift integration, not just because it looks neat but because that entire part of the control scheme is something that has been hard to “fix” in the racing genre before. ETS2 actually has fairly good automated camera controls, even though it's hardly even needed for what you're doing — for racing games (to say nothing of stuff like combat flight sims), not looking straight ahead is spectacularly important. While I haven't tried it, it apparently makes it a lot easier to judge your speed as well — at least if the VR is well done — which helps.

Pretty amazing to have this back in the game within a day of it releasing.

I played to Medical with my Rift, and then I had to stop. It was making me physically ill from stress/anxiety.

I mean that's either a stunning recommendation or a great reason not to do that, depending on your viewpoint.

given that Steam has completely given up on any sort of curation whatsoever but decided to take a stand on steamy anime dating games, i applaud this gross man's idea to just tell people how to unlock the nude anime babes and potentially force Valve to make the call that "it's not ok to patch nude anime babes into this game or any game"

bring on the animepornocalypse

Nude anime boobs was alright actually and is in the game as is, the problem was anime vaginas and anime female ejaculation.

quite honestly while the game itself existing is sort of funny in way that's been a thing for years now, what makes this interesting is the fact it's apparently sold very well (as I've posted before) and the emergance of Visual Novels being sold on steam pretty much is going to actually create a softcore porn sub genre on Steam.

I wouldn't call it "good" but it's definitely not as bad as everybody says, and most of the people who hate on it probably haven't played it. The dialogue mini-games are genuinely funny and pretty well-written for the most part. It's just a shame that they followed that up with one of the absolute worst games ever made and destroyed any chance of a LSL comeback.

I don't care if its intentionally a joke or not, shits hilarious. Having a voice actor say they'll "punch you in the oval office" or that they'll "hate-gently caress someone just to get their rear end beat" makes you think they must have had a little fun making it.

There's only so far games where legit pornographic content is the main thing can get on a platform like Steam though, unless they add a way to completely hide the existence of games on your account. A lot of people have real life friends and such on their friends list, and while the fact that a shitload of people watch all kinds of porn on the internet is a pretty widely acknowledged thing by now, the vast majority of people are always going to want to keep it private or at least hide behind more anonymity than what Steam provides. Even moreso when we're talking animes.

Personally it's not my thing but I can't really get morally outraged about it either, like I half-joked earlier real life porn is often tied to all sorts of lovely crime that legitimately harms a lot of people and yet it's a gigantic business, so to me someone drawing cartoon tits in dumb games people can laugh at seems like a really minor issue in comparison.

Will there be a game to it at some point, or is it literally just "Hitman at an all-girls anime school but without goals"? I guess the part where she loses her poo poo because there's blood all over her but then is miraculously cured when she changes outfits was pretty neat. And you can just casually talk to people covered in blood, no big.

I've bought it and am going to a mates place tomorrow to download it and like 100+ steam games.
I'm between houses at the moment, and I've got nothing but a tethered mobile to download games. loving Wolfenstein New Order is 44gb..

I've got a bunch of utilities to implement VR in games without native support, so I'm looking forward to fiddling about to get games like Skyrim and Borderlands 2 to work.
Which is why I really really like No Limits 2. 0 fiddling with menus and configs. The VR is integrated perfectly. No loving about. Launch the game "Oh do you want the VR version? Yep? Cool! Here's the menu rock out. The R button recenters you. Enjoy some roller coasters"
I really cannot stress how loving important a point that is and how good that feels as a Rift user; a fact I'm sure other owners share. The VR just works, and works well. Kudos to the devs, as it validated my Rift purchase and elavated it to a real bit of gaming kit rather than just a cool bit of tech you can show off to friends and family.

Also have a Leap Motion controller on its way so I'll have something else to dick about with as well.
