I mean if it’s popular it must be good right? *blows life savings on micro transactions on mobile games* Let’s just be cool with what people like. If you’ve got legit complaints about a game, air them out with respect explaining why you disagree. We don’t have to be goons all the time, right?

I mean, i hate art and philosophy 101 discussions of the subjectivity of artistic works, but going down the road of 'popular = good' (whatever "good" means) tends to be rather silly. FNAF is undoubtedly popular, but theres nothing wrong with anyone calling it poo poo as well. For the record I don't have a horse in this race, I've never played a FNAF game and have zero opinion positive or negative towards the series, I just really hate these weird essentialist arguments where someone can't call something poo poo just because its popular.

I am finally getting in on the PCVR world. Very Excited. My friend is selling me a relatively new VR ready laptop for extremely cheap so I ordered a Rift today.

All right, my Quest arrived before my link cable did so I have a few days to fiddle with the Virtual Desktop. The OP says that it's both on the oculus store and the sidequest, but doesn't say which version to actually buy, should I get the OG Version or the Sidequest one? I want to try PCVR and see if it's viable on my lovely 5GHz router. Also the thing blows my mind, the tracking and graphics are miles ahead of what it was on PSVR, amazing for something with basically smartphone specs. I'm glad I pulled the trigger on this.

Essentially VD lets you stream your desktop to the PC, but for some reason it can't be bundled with the VR streaming, so you have to buy and install it, then install the VR streaming upgrade from sidequest. You can't just get it from sidequest, because you need to own the base version first. Unless i'm wrong about that and its changed over the last year.

Ordered a Rift S today with an expected delivery of next Wednesday but just got an email saying it’ll get her this weekend. Already downloaded Alyx, anything else I should have on my pc for when it gets here? My buddy said he’d gift m a copy of The Forest because he has a bunch of steambucks and wants people to play VR games with. Planning on getting Beat Saber and I already have Elite Dangerous so I’ll need to figure out how to configure that. Is there a goon vr discord or something for shooting the poo poo and organizing games?

Play Boneworks before Alyx if you intend to play Alyx, its hard to go back for many. In fact look into trying most VR games you are interested in before Alyx, its kind of nuts the production quality difference. Goon VR Discord

Does the Oculus store have sales? I'm surprised that the early Oculus exclusives are still pretty pricey. I'd love to try stuff like The Climb but I would also never pay $30 for it and it also seems steep for Robo Recall. Kind of disappointed the headset doesn't even come with one free game tbh.

They do a lot of the standard things, holiday sale, summer sale, anniversary sales, etc. Sometimes they have good discounts, but depends on the game, and if its cross-buy with the quest its not likely to have a big sale as they've been pretty stingy on quest sales. Some of the PC only stuff though, I mean I've seen Lone Echo 40% off, I've seen chronos, edge of nowhere, wilson's heart and other stuff 5-10 bucks a few times during the big sales, so they do have some good deals sometimes. If you're looking for some free stuff on the oculus store, the launch game 'Lucky's Tale' was the original free pack in game, and its still free. Its basically a sort of mario bros. 3rd person platformer. Its cute enough, I enjoyed it at the time. Also its not a game, but if you're interested in spaceflight stuff, its worth checking out the 'Mission ISS' experience. Its free, and a recreation of the space station interior and exterior you can explore in zero g. Tom Guycot fucked around with this message at 06:50 on Jul 30, 2020 |

Was thinking about picking up BoxVR when it transforms into FitXR this week. Can anyone who has used it on both PC and the Quest talk to me about the differences? (Other than I think the PC one can do custom songs?) I'm curious because although I have wireless and the VR Cover replacement on the Vive for getting sweaty with Beat Saber, the 100% wireless anywhere nature of the Quest makes me think it could potentially be a better overall experience. I've got a DAS on the Quest so it is comfier to wear now at least.

fnaf 1, the premise and the mechanics, are pretty distilled. it is beautiful in it's simplicity. but I had to return the VR version because it was too much for me to handle, and I had zero problems at any point in Alyx. Alyx was tense/spooky enough that some people had to take breaks for (level spoilers) the sewers, or Jeff, or the poison headcrab apartment and I kinda blew threw them in awe. I was nervous but never outright spooked. But seeing and hearing the haunted animatronic homies in fnaf VR was too much. I chilled with my pup on the couch for a minute after and ate some comfort food. Then requested a refund I'm not a tough guy but I enjoy horror movies/thrillers. I may get it again down the line to scare the gently caress out of some of my friends

I just tried Vox Machinae and despite me not being a big mech fan, I have to admit it was cool as hell. It looks pretty nice (once you put enough SS and tessellation), and they implemented the feeling of being in a giant mech very well, with things physical controls that feel very analogue, aiming with the scope being done with another 'physical' screen that moves to the front, or smart details like the jump jets triggering by pulling a button/lever, instead of pushing it. The servers were totally dead, lol. I found that bots would play a TDM, but not in a more complex game mode (I can't remember the name, something about gathering scrap?) .

News about VR support in Flight Simulator. https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2020/07/30/microsoft-flight-simulator-steam-track-ir-and-vr-support/ However, journalists are saying it will be an exclusive to the Reberb G2 for a time? Uhh? https://www.engadget.com/flight-sim-2020-vr-fall-hp-reverb-070123550.html https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2020/07/ms-flight-simulator-our-yoke-on-look-at-new-features-gorgeous-flights/ Ars quote imply they have asked about it directly to the devs, they aren't making it up for clicks quote:When pressed, Neumann and the rest of the MSFS team declined to specify exactly what about their VR implementation might require a limit to a single PC-VR system, especially since every headset on the market relies on OpenVR calls for axis orientation. (Indeed, this is exactly why non-Oculus headsets can be tricked into loading Oculus-exclusive software.) The Reverb G2 also happens to borrow the engineering and design of the Valve Index's lens array. Thus, we're hopeful that the game's VR mode removes these device-limiting flags and supports other headsets shortly after its launch.

Someone will probably patch it in, like, a day (at least the Steam version, Windows Store's sandboxing might cause problems). Though they could be using the WMR API which means it might still be locked to that ecosystem.

WMRs SteamVR compatibility is achieved using a wrapper, though unlike Oculus it's officially sanctioned and developed by Microsoft.

At the prices or TrackIR I'd just spring for a Quest or something. Can't even compare. I actually build my own free version of track IR using a playstation webcam and a DIY LED headset. Worked great and only cost like $50. No even close to VR though.

I had a track IR before I upgraded to the rift. If I didn't have the cash it seems like a decent alternative for sims or something. Or in the case of elite, so you can have a second screen pulled up.

nobody reasonable buys trackir, they use one of the many much much cheaper options, and it's still pretty alright for some uses.

Yesterday I fooled a bit with Angry Birds VR, as in the last months they had introduced an update with online level sharing. Alas, it's a pity that the discoverability options aren't enough (you can sort by difficulty and by 'hotness' but you can't combine both as filters) and more importantly, the player made levels don't have the score/star rating system, which makes them much less interesting. I don't know why, it should have been so easy to do it, just give the players a way to put 3 numbers (the score values to get 1, 2 and 3 stars).

I'm going to assume what they mean is its exclusive to the WMR api, not G2 specifically, since there are no other new WMR headsets and most of the old ones are all discontinued. The alternative of it just being the G2 and other WMR sets not working would just be.... weird as hell.
