TheWave VR just released globally, so if you're outside the US and haven't had a chance to check it out... It's a pretty cool experience.

Is Moss worth the price tag? It looks fun and adorable, but I need someone to confirm that it's $30 worth of game play, or if I should wait for a sale.

Someone asked if anyone besides Oculus is funding AAA vr content at the moment. As far as I know the answer is no except Valve are in theory making three VR games.Neddy Seagoon posted:I'm really looking forward to e3 this year (aside from the usual round of big-hype titles and surprises), because we're just getting out the first year since the Vive and Oculus really got released. If you've had a look at any console that wasn't the Nintendo Switch for the past decade or two, now's the time we should start seeing a decent quantity of titles from the big developers. Tom Guycot posted:You know, I wonder if revive will even be necessary. It's not coming out until 2019, openXR is coming out this year, and oculus have said they want to move to openXR as the main sdk, with OVR being legacy support. I don't know if they're too far along in development, or if it will be easy to switch over, but it seems there a good chance it will be running openXR. There were a bunch of reddit threads about it after that talk and basically it's looking like it'll just be another layer on top of the manufacturer's chosen SDKs. So no big leap as far as exclusivity goes... unless you've got a source for Oculus saying they are hoping to replace their entire SDK with it?? That seems incredibly unlikely given the amount they've invested in OVRs development. Anyhow, at the moment they are at least actively working to make sure they don't break ReVive with their platform updates, so anyone who has PCVR but hasn't checked out the Oculus games yet is just being mental at this stage (beyond those who have ethical objections to giving money to Facebook, I guess). Even if they did totally cut off support for other headsets down the road, if we're talking about current VR single player games it's not like they're likely to have fantastic replay value (maybe Lone Echo, but apart from that...)

The real question would be whether they would change their store guidelines to allow games to use OpenXR, or whether they would still require those games to use their own OVR SDK. Their current guidelines don't allow games to support other headsets even when that support wouldn't affect the Rift experience at all, so I'm not hopeful.

Some of the new DLC weapons in Sairento are fuuuuun. Twirling dual Kusarigama (sickle-chains) like ribbons of death is a real nice workout, and they can just cleave things like you wouldn't believe if you can get the hang of swinging it properly  . The Kigiri is a clawed gauntlet that basically let you be Wolverine. Except you can also shoot your claws off at enemies, with unlimited ammo. The Slugger SMG is kinda  though.

Game recommendation, if we're still doing that: Conductor. A good, cheap first person puzzler where you drive a train through a night time landscape, solving puzzles in order to remove obstacles blocking your path and discovering the narrative largely from environmental queues and media found along the way. Atmospheric and surprisingly well-designed. NRVNQSR posted:There's Sony, though obviously that's through exclusivity deals too.

Their current guidelines don't allow games to support other headsets even when that support wouldn't affect the Rift experience at all, so I'm not hopeful. So I guess if OpenXR somehow included or enforced the inclusion of all the important reliability/performance and other features of the OVR SDK (e.g. ASW, ATW, etc), to a quality that was the same standard as the implementations in OVR, and if the fact that OpenXR will run as an extra layer on top of the other manufacturers' SDK didn't have a negative effect on performance etc., then it might make sense (within the terms of Oculus's justification/logic as above) for Oculus to open support for other devices using OpenXR. ...in other words, unless I'm totally wrong about how OpenXR is going to work (very possible), I don't see why Oculus would open up their platform because of it. Then again, they may (hopefully, will) change their policy and thus do so. or just do it anyway. Here's hoping!

Twirling dual Kusarigama (sickle-chains) like ribbons of death is a real nice workout, and they can just cleave things like you wouldn't believe if you can get the hang of swinging it properly I think the slugger is pretty good actually. It absolutely requires a quantum scope relic and preferably also a sukukichi headband though. It has a big, bright obvious and relatively slow shots that are easy to lead into headshots and it's "magazine" lasts for quite a few kills if you keep firing single shots and make sure that you're getting headshots. I've gotten my longest killstreaks with the sluggers by chaining quantum scope sukukichi acceleration headshots until everyone in the room was dead and both sluggers overheated. I think my best was clearing an entire purge/gauntlet room start to finish in a single 13 kill killstreak. Sure you can do the same with any of the other pistols, SMG or rifles, but they tend to run out of ammo fast, and being forced to reload in the middle of a killstreak is a good way to have it time out before you're done. Also you can't dual wield the non-burst assault rifle, which has the longest lasting magazine of the remaining options and is probably the second best weapon to use for that trick. The infinitely recharging "magazine" also means that you can use a quantum scoped slugger as a secondary "chakra" pool for acceleration purposes, even if you're not going for extra long killstreaks. If you keep alternating between occasional quantum scope headshot, normally triggering acceleration and pick all the chakra recovery skills, you can basically keep yourself in constant acceleration mode, without taking the health penalty of the super hot knockoff headband relic.

The Walrus posted:dang, Rec Room BR is incredibly fun I'm having a lot of trouble with what I assume is hit detection. I got the Laser Cannon and managed to completely miss some guy, yet it still instantly killed them like a second and a half after the projectile passed them. They shouted over the mic, "What?! NO WAY!" and I responded "How the hell did that kill you?" Another time I had a blue full auto rifle, managed to hit someone no poo poo 30 times and they just didn't die, it was absurd. Another game, I had a purple shotgun and full health + full shields, I was peeking and poking some guy with a green three-shot pistol thing, and they took two point blank shotgun blasts plus ~5 hits from two bursts of the 5-shot-burst rifle and I was dead from three of their pistol bursts. It was still fun but after that last one I was just off it. There's not a whole lot of information on the game mechanics that I can find so I dunno if I'm just not quite hitting the right part of the enemy players or what.

I smoked a lot of cigarettes and caught some drat Commie agents  . The second mission is a lot simpler and shorter than the first, but they were still quite varied in what you're investigating to give it some measure of depth.

Nice deal for anyone lurking, looking to get into vr, until the 16th you get $75 of store credit with the purchase of a Rift through their website. Effectively bringing the price down to $325, a pretty good deal.

I imagine it is more cartoony like Fortnite it is, and the TTK is much higher than stand out, but it's a much more fun game than that is imo. wait times are tiny, the mechanics work, the hit detection is great, it is really just a very good game. I just had an amazing moment when I in one motion grabbed and drank a shield potion that had popped out of a chest, before turning and shotgunning the guy that I had just realized was sneaking up on me. most fun I've had in VR in a while.

Depending on how long ago you got it, you could check with amazon because from oculus' website: quote:Several of our authorized retailers have similar promotions to celebrate the season, including Amazon, Best Buy, Micro Center, Newegg, and Microsoft Store in the US. Details and availability vary, so check with your local store for the most up-to-date information. So it sounds like they have some deal as well (probably an amazon gift card). Might be able to sweet talk them or something.

6GB 1060s are still in the $300+ range. I mean, I don't even know what MSRP is supposed to be in the first place, but don't give him bad info. The 3GB model is a little less than that, but I got scolded by multiple people in the PC Building thread when I suggested buying it for my latest media PC, even when I said I planned to replace it once the new Geforces come out.

EbolaIvory posted:11-15% faster on a 1060 that’s 200 dollars ish. (keep in mind thats just synthetic benchmark testing, Real world would actually be better, more so in VR) When I upgraded my GTX 560 to a similarly priced GTX 760 a couple years later, that was a solid upgrade. Changing to a $220 1060 3GB from a RX480 8GB (also $220, when I bought it) appears to be a sidegrade. There's a bigger difference if I look at the 6GB 1060, but then we're comparing a card that I'm seeing at Amazon and Fry's for $300 today against a card that was $220 a couple years ago, and the difference is still not what I'd expect for spending an additional $80 two years later. For reference, someone who bought a GTX 760 for ~$250, and then two years later spent budgeted ~$330 for an upgrade, would have gotten a GTX 970, which blew the 760 out of the water. Or they may have waited another year and gotten a basic 1060, which would also be a massive upgrade from a 760. Maybe we've hit a technological/supply/whatever-the-gently caress-else wall and video card progress is gonna be slow going forward, and it's no longer the case that spending X dollars 2-3 years later should get you a decent boost (like from the 560 to the 760, and then the 760 to the 1060). Even if that's the new "normal," if you think that paying the same price two years later for basically a sidegrade is "solid," then I strongly disagree.
