VR gives me motion sickness to the point that I feel like poo poo for 12 hours afterward so I have no plans to ever play another VR game.

Why do goons keep saying that you need to spend $1000 on an index to play Alyx? It can be played on any headset. Even the ones that go on sale sometimes for $100. Is it some type of console war mindset that shouldn't still exist in people in their thirties and forties. All I'm saying is, release Bloodbourne on the pc Sony. I'm not buying your piece of poo poo Playstation just to play one game  Edit: I Just started playing Demon's souls on the pc with the 60 fps patch. It looks so much smoother now.

Do you know how much of a kickin'-rad joystick I could get for hundred+ bucks? VR is being pushed to a lot of people who don't see the appeal, particularly when the shittiest option is still more expensive than any other peripheral they own.

Counterpoint 90% of VR posts I see are people who have a bug up their rear end about VR telling people that like it, that it in fact "sucks". I've never seen an angrier group of haters than people who have convinced themselves VR is poo poo, and constantly have to let everyone who is enjoying the awesomeness of VR know that.

VR has come a long way. I puked in a Best Buy in 2016 when I first used a demo and now I have a PSVR and a Rift S. The PSVR is a great way to watch movies, its Netflix integration and all that is top notch.

It's the console wars resurfacing in a new headset. Doesn't help that people are understandably tired of game companies trying to push overpriced gimmicks on people they inevitably abandon. (except for Nintendo, because they're crazy)

I guess I can understand the appeal to VR but I don't play games to get fully immersed. I play games while I'm texting people and looking up stuff on my phone and VR just requires to much of my senses locked in and I'll never be willing to make that investment, even if it did get good.

I still think the best way to get your feet wet with VR is an older Galaxy S8 and a Gear VR headset. You can use an XBone controller to play Minecraft VR, which is pretty cool.

I still use my Rift S pretty regularly even after a year of owning it but for the most part VR is just a clunky way to play bad games. I've tried over a dozen titles but H3VR and Racing sims are the only thing that have had any lasting appeal. It's awesome but also disappointing in some ways.

I have put more hours into h3vr than any other game on my steam account, so vr was definitely a worthwhile buy for me. Dirt rally is second, and is amazing in vr.

Opinion of HL-Alyx They cut the Hydra out of Half-life 2 because it looked bad in first person on a screen, now they have a display that has 3d depth perception and they didn't take the opportunity to bring it back. Also The way the new VR half life game "fixes" the storyline is really really lazy to the point that it's almost the most laziest way possible.

I mean from my point of view having enough money to drop on an expensive peripheral, and a decent gaming PC, and then having a large enough space to combine all of that together is just too much for like 90% of the market.

For sure. That doesn't mean it isn't good though. The price and the amount of effort it takes is definitely one of the big things holding it back. Personally I just have the ghetto rear end Playstation VR but it's still a lot of fun and pretty affordable. I'd really like to get something nicer but I don't have a gaming PC atm, so the affordability of the headset is less of an issue than the actual PC. The oculus quest is pretty obtainable and is supposed to be real good but that's not really what I'm looking for personally.

New players being massively behind the curve in fighting games doesn't have a satisfactory solution other than decent skill-based matchmaking. Everyone's trying to simplify their games; nah. Just give the thing a normal MMR instead of the no calibration, start at the bottom mess most of these games have.

Play posted:Ah, I get it. You mean the grenade launcher? Yeah I kinda do agree about that, the damage should be a bit more standardized. Also I'm a bit confused at how, even beyond weak points, some guns are better on certain demons than others. The only one I explicitly remember being stated in the game is chaingun against hell knights and ballista against pain elementals, but I think there are probably more I am 100% playing this game on Easy when I get around to it

Sodomy Hussein posted:I am 100% playing this game on Easy when I get around to it I replayed some levels on the second to lowest difficulty to hunt down secrets, and the nice thing about it is that you still have to learn the very same techniques as you have to for the higher difficulty levels. The only difference is you are basically allowed to make more errors and have more time to decide what to do. With more time I mean like 0,5 seconds instead of 0,2 seconds, and with more errors I mean five instead of one. I totally get why this game isn't for everyone. At one point, id totally hosed it up (from a selling point): the game is brutal at the beginning. It's throwing you into the blender and you don't even know what's happening (tutorials or not). It takes some time before the game mechanics "click", and that's when you have to decide if you like it or not, and replaying it the third time currently, that moment could very well be outside of the "two hour refund"-range for - e.g. - Steam. I still think it's a realtime, superpaced JRPG in first person in regard to "if I do this thing, and then this thing, I gain X, while the enemy suffers under Y, so I now do Z that benefits from X and Y". Like combos in Final Fantasy or whatever, but you have to do them alone, in first person, at a very fast pace. tl;dr: even on the lower difficulties, you won't be able to get around the central game mechanics, and it depends if they are fun to you or not. there won't be a situation which you can simply dakka dakka out off because difficulty is lowered, you'll have to adhere to the game mechanics. ee: they are pretty awesome, though tuo fucked around with this message at 15:46 on Mar 29, 2020 |

I like all the people getting into VR early because it has pretty quickly boosted the quality of the headsets while reducing the price and giving devs a reason to pursue it I mean I'm not buying a VR rig yet but the people who are buying them are basically funding the development of something I eventually will buy, and that's cool. Thanks, early adopters

SilvergunSuperman posted:Is there any reason to make this hugely smug piece of poo poo post? I don't think their post was smug or lovely at all, early adopters do all of the things described in that post and that's well-understood by everyone. If anything signalnoise's post seems authentically appreciative of the people who pumped enough money into the nascent products to keep development effort flowing, leading to better products for everyone. It's cool and good. I don't even agree with Serephina's interpretation; early adopters aren't well-described as being fools, they surely already understand that the first headsets weren't going to be the best or most affordable ones but are happy spending money on it anyway because it interests them. That's fine, nothing prevents them from buying the newer headsets

Yeah the fools are the people who thought that it would be amazing out of the gate, but I genuinely appreciate those early enthusiasts with money following along so that I can eventually have one at a price point that is comfortable for me. I find it to be kind of an unpopular opinion because there are so many people willing to poo poo all over the idea of crowdfunding or whatever new tech because it's "a waste of money".

I love Dead Cells, but my broken brain refuses to unlock more weapons when upgrading my current unlocked weapons makes winning easier. I keep telling myself that I'm going to unlock and use something else, but nope.

I have some opinions Opposing Force > Half Life > Half Life 2 Hidden and Dangerous 2 > All other WW2 games CoH 2 > CoH 1 Civilization fans prefer bitching about the latest release in the series than playing any of the titles. Cosmetic DLC is dumb but fine to spend your cash on. Patch file sizes are too small. No OpenGL support (afaik) for Microsoft's 3D Movie Maker is the worst gaming travesty. Consoles are too cheap. Thanks for reading.

world of tanks was pretty great when it was in beta and everyone was using misc early-ww2 tanks with mismatched guns and engines, but then beta was over and they turned the grinding and pay2win way up and turned it into just wow with tanks where everyone rushes to have the same minmaxed endgame tank. company of heroes pretends to be a good close combat successor at first but then it turns out it's really dumb and gamey with the control points and progression. I bring up these two games because they both had the bones of a quality ww2 game and then went the other way with it

It has better dynamics in terms of movement, shooting, and environments in a way that makes it much less of a pain in the rear end than Half Life 1 is. Half Life 1 is absolutely the more groundbreaking and novel game, but Half Life 2 is just a more satisfying game to play when it's all said and done. Also idk if you mean single player WW2 games or Mulitplayer, and I've never played the game you referenced but Medal Of Honor:Allied Assault and Day of Infamy are both pretty incredible.

Half Life 1 is absolutely the more groundbreaking and novel game, but Half Life 2 is just a more satisfying game to play when it's all said and done. halflife 1 and 2 are both revolutionary in their moment in time and relatively bland and unimpressive with a broader view because every other game since has easily ripped off and built upon the things they did well, and because they didn't do everything well and those shortcomings are glaring in retrospect e: though at this point in 2020 I've slogged through so many gratuitous open worlds that I may be a bit nostalgic for some AAA corridor action
