Job sim was great but I'm glad I got it for free. It really peters out by the time you get to the auto shop. I'll wait until this Rick and Morty game goes on sale.

Wow the number of people playing Rick and Morty (over 900) on VRLFG.net is pretty incredible.

I can't wait to see what kind of numbers Fallout 4 VR generates. I hope it also results in more headset sales.

When in doubt, err on the side of Awesome!

Job Simulator is great for introducing people to Room scale and motion controls, which is the only reason I've left it installed. It's not a bad game, but pretty much every other game I've played has been more entertaining.

I wish I'd gotten Job Sim for free with my Vive instead of that lake Zombie Combat Sim game and some junk on Viveport I'll never get to.

The Zombie Training game is surprisingly engaging, although very simple. But yeah, I absolutely agree. Job Sim is a great bundle game for the Vive, but it is expensive as gently caress and offers no replayability. It is absolutely not worth its asking price and even though I am a huge Rick and Morty fan, the game certainly isn't anywhere near worth its price.

Job Sim was fun. It isn't the best VR game in the world but it's perfectly fine.

Rec Room Quest is so drat good. I forgot where my bounds were for about half the game, and punched and/or bumped into everything around my space.

Agreed. loving hard though. Only played twice and the second time got pretty far, but god drat it's a pain if you pick up the rifle and then a swarm of the little explodey bastards come after you. Ended up carrying an SMG around with me and dropping it when fighting starts just so I could grab it when they appeared.

Doesn't help that pubs STILL love to teleport directly into the line of fire, or charge straight into the enemy spawning alcoves and then yell to be rezzed while surrounded by a dozen enemies. You have guns this time, assholes! You don't even need to be close any more! :argh:

By the way, about Rec Room and Quest, the Rec Room devs are aware that it's infested with little kids and made a response

Rec Room Dev posted:

Kids under 13 is a Code of Conduct violation. Please use the "Kick" feature in the watch and report as "Immature Behavior".

First kick imposes a one minute detention (locked in the Dorm Room), and you cannot rejoin the room you were kicked from.

Subsequent kicks scale quickly up to 48hr detention. When we see very long detentions happening, we will usually investigate that account to see what is going on, and may apply a more permanent ban.

We know the system isn't perfect, and we have planned improvements coming in the next few weeks. But for now it really helps when people use (and don't abuse!) the kick and report system.

We hear the requests for separate kids servers, we are investigating various options. Not 100% sure where we'll land. We will communicate with the community as we proceed.

Parents - we would love to let you bring your kids into Rec Room to experience the magic of VR. We get it, we really do. And it's possible we'll get to a place where we can support that. But for now it is against our Terms of Service, and you are exposing us to potential legal risk. Please don't do it. Rec Room is a platform for real time interactions with people from all over the world. We cannot guarantee an appropriate experience for your child at this time.

tldr - please report kids for Immature Behavior. Parents, please don't put your under 13 kids in Rec Room. It is against our Terms of Service.

The votekick system is very abusable, sometimes with 3 people in a session, 1 person is enough to kick someone else. Some people also think using the report function as a joke is a good idea.

This is great and I'm glad there's a kick feature. I'm already wandering around my bedroom with bigass space goggles strapped to my face, I don't need a bunch of screaming toddlers in my VR reminding me how much of a gigantic manchild I am. :classiclol:

I think Job Simulator is great for being like one of the first well polished VR games out there. I don't think I would give it as much praise if it was released today though. But it gets a pass for being out so early.

Down came the glitches and burned us in ditches and we slept after eating our dead.
Job Sim is still by far the best discovery/exploration game in VR. I think a lot of people just don't like the genre or realize how much more work is involved in it than other genres. I remember hearing almost identical hatred directed at pretty much every other discovery/exploration game I've ever played where that was the primary gameplay focus rather than tacked on.

Job Sim clearly had a shitload of effort put into it, and they're selling to a niche market. The price makes perfect sense even if it feels expensive.

It's also still has a really extensive level of convincingly immersive interactivity. What's weird is that it's competitors in that area like Rec Room and Gorn and Unseen Diplomacy are all free.

I can't think of another game that hasn't had at least one time, usually a lot of times, where I wanted to interact with something in a particular obvious way and couldn't do it, or had it happen in a janky way that broke my immersion. That freedom means a lot to me.

(I'll still probably wait for the Rick and Morty game to go on sale before picking it up though)

what?
If you're just buying for your own use, yea, definitely wait for a sale on Rick and Morty.

I bought it expecting basically what I got, but most of my friends still haven't played VR and a lot of them like Rick and Morty so I think it'll be fun to drop them right in to this for their first time.

Mature a little before you become a Multimillionaire?

I mean would you be the sane, mature, sophisticated person you are now at what? 24? With partially the soul credibility of Kickstarting VR into life once again and getting Facebook Millions in the process?

He may be stupid, but he is Rich and doesn't have to care what anyone thinks at this point.


Similar goes for Notch and Minecraft. Rich, don't care, aren't relevant at all anymore past what they started and sold off.

Ignore them and they might go away.
