Simply discard the thrown controller and unclip a new one from your bandolier of controllers. Also keep a ready supply of monitors. Geez guys it's not that hard.

Lemming posted:It's like announcing you wipe standing up; it's weird, and normal people will be surprised that people would admit something so shameful I really don't understand why its so weird though. The straps are there to prevent it going any further than an inch or two, and I'm not throwing it like a baseball or anything insane so odds of the strap really breaking are super low. Low enough that its worth the risk to not have a nade bounce of a wall and kill me instead of through the window like I intended. And again, I'm not in a room with a bunch of breakable poo poo. Like even my light above me is so high I cant hit it even throwing a controller straight up at it. Worst case, I'm out a monitor and thats assuming I'm throwing it at that one direction and right at it AND it breaks. I mean I guess I could "lose a controller" but I already gently caress these things up way more on walls and what not and really the extendo warranty thing I bought is going to get used anyways so I'm not worried about the controllers themselves. I understand how you're trying to compare it, I just dont see it that crazy. At least one other person already said they do similar.

Just flat out don't. Unless you have like literal seconds you can afford to stand there and use your other hand to put it back in or you take the time to do some weird pendulum flip back into your hand, and even then you're focused on messing with your controllers instead of playing the game. It's like, sure, you can, and nobody's going to die, but why would you when you could just... not let go. I've dropped my controller by accident a few times playing Echo Arena and if I do it on the joust or in the middle of a match I'm totally loving myself over for whatever I was about to try to do next.

The straps are there as a last resort they aren't meant to be constantly stress tested. Look up stories about people using the straps when the Wii came out. The straps broke and TVs were smashed.

Songbearer posted:Man I've played some more Onward and Pavlov and I still can't decide if I like one more than the other, I think they're kind of hard to compare ultimately. Pavlov will always be my go-to for a "Eh, I've got half an hour to kill" shooter game, and since I pretty much only play TDM I experience very little chatter and downtime and can just get on with some good old fashioned murder. I think my biggest criticism other than how budgety it feels (There's not much character or polish to the game, but that really doesn't bother me too much - par for the course with early tech) is how much of an advantage stock users have over regular dudes. You can immediately tell if someone's using a stock because their aim is always on point as they pretty much need to just stay level and they're guaranteed a headshot, since movement doesn't really punish gun position. Two rounds from an AK is a kill with a headshot, so if you're slumming it with your wavy hands technique you've got to accept you're going to get slaughtered. Also, the AK is a one shot headshot kill--that's the biggest reason to use it over the M4. Songbearer posted:With Onward I think the gun mechanics and the layer of semi-polish really add a lot to the game, but I'm absolutely behind anyone who says the controls are strange. There's a real learning curve to it for sure and I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people are put off by first impressions. If you adjust to it though, I think the long range, high risk encounters, slow paced gameplay and fast TTK and emphasis on teamwork and communication can really make for some unique gameplay when everything clicks. I'm pretty antisocial in multiplayer and it's exacerbated in VR, but I find it pretty easy to talk to people in this game and the community seem friendly enough. Don't be jerks to the Germans - they're lovely people and apparently make up 6/10ths of the playerbase. Ralith fucked around with this message at 02:56 on Sep 19, 2017 |

Ralith posted:Huh? Is "they're using a stock" the new "they were hacking?" Just hold your hands a decent distance apart and actually use the sights and you'll have plenty of precision to be competitive. Just like with a 2D FPS, practice is necessary to get good, but a stock is by no means important. Dude haven't you not played the game in months? A ton of optimizations, a few new maps, some reworked weapon models and lots of quality of life features have gone in.

If you're letting go of it you're letting go of it. That was the entire point you came in trying to make. If you're playing a game that's slow paced enough to allow you to disarm yourself for a second with no consequences then do whatever you want. It's still dumb when you could just not do that instead.

Guess those are slow paced. *shrug* Again, I think you're way overthinking things. And its cute how "I'm dumb" for playing a game how its most comfortable to me. Goons sometimes, I swear. You also act like the motion of throwing a nade, AND re-gripping your weapon takes no time if you dont let go. In fact, I'm doing both of those things while regaining control of my controller without thinking. So I really dunno what you're talking about as far as "having extra free time in slow games" or whatever you're trying to imply. In fact, The only thing that happens if I hold my controller is 9 times out of 10, I miss the window I'm throwing a nade through, and have to run the gently caress away anyways.

I know those aren't slow paced games, you missed the subtext. If your controller isn't in your hand you can't do anything with it. You can minimize the amount of time that lasts but it's always worse than not doing it in the first place. You can do whatever you want but if you post about how you do something weird I'm going to call it weird.

Adding to controller-destroying chat, while playing Gorn tonight I had the bright idea to do an arm-crossing scissor slice while wielding two blades. Third time I tried it I banged my Touch controllers together. No damage to either, but lesson learned. As an aside, has anyone trusted their friends enough to let them demo this game?

Those close range headshots can be amazing in maps like Office, and slowing people is always a plus; I tend not to even upgrade to a rifle after winning a round with one. I haven't spent enough time with the new M4 yet, though. If you like friendly sights, the P90 is great, but its damage output is pretty disappointing. Still, the big mag is great for engaging groups and keeping people pinned down, and it looks like its price got a big cut. Ralith fucked around with this message at 04:51 on Sep 19, 2017 |

Can be glued back in place if you manage to open up the controller without snapping any of the tiny fragile ribbon cables or screwing up the calibration; there are videos on youtube. Covered by warranty but RMA service from HTC is garbage.

Ralith posted:A little rubber nub under the middle of the trackpad has fallen off. Very common issue, widely regarded as a design flaw (probably didn't help to have people punching the wall with it regularly though This happened to both my controllers, and I've had the Vive about a month  . It surprised me that there was a flaw like this on something that's going to get some pretty heavy and intense use - I've got 2 new controllers coming in and haven't decided if I'm going to go the self repair or warranty route for the busted ones. Probably self repair since I'm sure it'll happen within a month on the new ones and I don't want to be dealing with HTC support on a monthly basis.

Considering I've had them 11 months I'm not worried, they've gotten used fairly heavily so I woulda put it down to wear and tear. The wall bashing has popped the casing open a few times, but it clicks back in no worries.

Zaphod42 posted:I have yet to have a fulfilling experience with VorpX. Another goon loves it but even if you can solve all the little issues and configurations you're still left with a game where your hands move with your face, which never feels great. It's more like your gun moves with your face, though I guess that includes hands. Thing is, except for when I'm fighting enemies I normally keep the gun holstered so it's not really a major problem. Even when my gun is out, it's not a major problem. Resident Evil 7 and Alien Isolation essentially have the same problem and people love these games in VR. Of course motion controls are always an improvement and welcome which is why I am playing New Vegas and not Fallout 4 VR nor Skyrim. I haven't played either of these games so I am sure it'll be a treat. My New Vegas run is an almost virgin run. Back in 2010ish when the game was released I played for 34 hours and then my hard drive poo poo the bed so I lost my save game. I shelved NV until I had my Vive and vr rig. Since I knew Fallout 4 was coming out for VR I decided to buy VorpX and dust it off. Definitely one of my top VR experiences despite lack of motion controls, and I absolutely love playing VR native games like Onward, Pavlov, BAM, Star Trek, Vivecraft, Raw Data, Robo Recall, Ironwolf, etc. iceaim fucked around with this message at 06:49 on Sep 19, 2017 |

I think the Pimax kickstarter is going live today not sure, but they also have revealed the ultimate mystery of how the Pimax transports all that video over a DP cable: they don't. Only accepts 1440p input per eye that is upscaled to 4k, which is still an improvement over Vive/Rift but eh. Sounds like they have a double DP board that drives the thing at full res that they might ship later on as either an option when you buy the HMD or as a DIY upgrade.

Ralith posted:FWIW, after one spectacularly painful RMA process for a single controller I haven't had the issue recur. I wouldn't expect to get it every time, or even most times. That's good to hear, and reassures me some. The internet effect happened when I researched it (the only people that post about it are the ones with broken controllers) so it seemed worse than it may be. Regardless, it looks like the glue fix adds some stability, so I think I'm fine with breaking my warranty to help guarantee a longer lifespan. I also don't want to deal with awful RMA processes, so thanks for the warning.

Unless the headset and controllers were designed to work together, it's most likely not possible. With two different tracking systems, you would need some way to translate between them. How do you get exactly he same origin between two differently shaped devices? It might be possible to hack together something that sort of works, but it's not going to be as accurate as just using devices that are supposed to work together.

I pledged for one of the Pimax 8K early copies, if it works for E:D then I'll never leave VR. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/pimax8kvr/pimax-the-worlds-first-8k-vr-headset They're also selling the "8K X" which is true 4k resolution on each lens instead of upscaled 4k, with this note: "- Only for those who own a PC with at least GTX1080ti (still testing, may need 1080Ti SLI, or the next generation graphic card e.g. Nvidia Volta), CPU i7, and 16GB memory. " So it only works on top-of-the-line computers and even then it probably doesn't work
