Add me to the list of people who played Demeo recently and had an absolute blast. The foundation here is really solid (it understands what makes a good dice-chucking dungeon crawler tick and discards anything that would slow it down too much) and the content that does exist shows that the developers know how to make something out of these systems. And on the VR side of things, it's got the same appeal as PokerStars VR of simulating a social experience really well. It also doesn't hurt that it's one of the best looking games on the Quest just because it's emulating something fairly simple and doing it perfectly rather than reaching for something greater and coming up short like too many other games do.

Its even funnier when it was 2 years ago and no quest was around and you knew they spent 1000+ to do VR. Can't buy 20-30$ game but have a 1000$ gpu to run VR.

waiting to see if vive 2 wireless performance is good enough to get me to ditch my g2 and go in for another four digits thinking I'm going to skip this generation, if I can stand to. 90% of what i play is seated anyway.

Warbird posted:God drat they keep getting better and better with the OS features. I wish to god it was anyone other than FB though. Oh well, may as enjoy hellworld. If we make a list from the release of Q2, the list of new feature is at this point pretty impressive: Link improvements. A bit more stable, better image quality, which can be forced for more resolution Air Link 120hz screen mode Guardian improvements: bring your couch or desk to vr, keyboard too with the Logitech one the whole Infinity Office initiative Voice commands AppLab MultiUser accounts App sharing for those accounts Facebook Messenger integration Oculus Move Improved casting Hand tracking improvements That said, they still need some more work: The social features, party system etc is so badly designed it received a heavy scolding by John Carmack in his last keynote The library app/home widget, it's too small, it lacks ways to hide things, or to do custom organization, it needs more categories for things like AppLab, etc Oculus tv need filters and sort order. That's just the basic stuff, on my wishlist it would be subtitle support like in Youtube too

The desk/couch stuff is real nice if you have a setup that has either. What kills me though is some apps won't launch if you're at your desk but give no cares if you're in a standing config 3 feet away. Speaking of it's really nice that the HMD can scan and remember play areas. "It just works"

About Demeo. I think it's funny the push it's receiving on Quest... if only because the game doesn't seem to be designed for it? I'm talking of the length of the games. With 4 friends, in between the casual talk (part of the tabletop experience!), the 4 heroes actions, and discussing what to do, a full game can exceed a full battery charge of the Quest! I hope people play it with an extra battery or plugged to the wall, it has to be super funny when the devices turn off just before killing the final boss, lol. In fact, it seems to me the game is lacking in customization options, like dungeon size presets, difficulties, maybe even an option to turn off the infinite enemy spawn....

Yeah this all made me kind of hesitant to buy it, kinda seems like once you play the scenarios that's about it right? And as of now there really aren't that many in the game?

Yeah I have still been using VD, I find the UI much better than the oculus link stuff and also i paid for it so  . If someone was just getting into VR I'd probably just suggest AirLink though.

Anyone use any of the productivity apps on the oculus store? I've been using Immersed for a few weeks and aside from a couple annoying features, it's pretty polished and it's nice to float in outer space surrounded by monitors. It's got hand tracking too so you can poke and pinch things to access them and move them around, although that part could use a bit of improvement. The free version streams one extra "virtual monitor" in addition to any real monitors you have hooked up and the paid version gives you 4 extra. Not sure what the max number of screens is that it'll stream if you combine virtual and real, though. It's $12 a month for the paid version which feels like a bit much, but it's great for keeping me organized while shitposting on the side and I'm trying to evanglize to people at work so hopefully enough other people want it that they'll eat the cost for me. I also tried vSpatial when looking for alternatives that don't cost as much, but it's pretty ugly and clunky and the interface seems largely centered around using controllers only. Also doesn't have virtual monitors, apparently from what I read looking around about it it's difficult to implement and Immersed is the only one I was able to find that actually does it.

Yeah this is definitely an issue, a 3 man run took 3 hours the other night and without external batteries one or more of us would have ran out of power. The game shouldn't really take that long though, I'm realizing. We didn't know about the infinitely spawning enemies so we probably wasted an hour on the second level just holing up in a room fighting off a bunch of waves thinking it would eventually stop. We probably could have finished quicker if we realized that. I really want an option to turn off the infinite enemies, or at least limit the number of respawns. I was thinking it'd be more like Hero Quest where each room presents a scripted group of enemies.

Anyone having issues with VRChat? In the last couple of days the streaming performance has crashed hard for me. The game itself is running as smooth as butter, but over Virtual Desktop, AirLink and regular Link it is struggling to display a stable picture, and frequently shows SteamVR as it drops entirely for a brief moment. No other games are affected.

Beer_Suitcase posted:https://play.decentraland.org/ inb4 we mine our VR headsets for extra crypto It looks too sketch to be of use, not gonna lie. That said, I tried out two weird games last night: VR Skater and Hell Road VR. VR Skater seems alright, though I'm still doing tutorials since the game considered Flip And Shuvits more noteworthy than doing a grind. That said, it kinda feels fun to do the basic tricks. Flick the left wand forward-left for a kickflip, flick the right wand past your rear end to do a shuvit, swing your head to the left or right as you're ollieing to ollie in a direction. Might be a good sale one, but I'd need to get into it more. Hell Road VR is... kinda okay? Gunplay's way too loving lightfeeling, as someone who frequented H3VR. Also there's only really one tolerable controlling mode (JOYSTICK), as the other to modes either require you to tilt your head to turn or simulate grabbing a handle bar with one hand. Both really don't bode well when the objective is to not get eaten by zombos. It's still pretty nice feeling to drive by the undead, though. Or skewer them with a spear. Definitely a sale game, not gonna lie.

widespread posted:inb4 we mine our VR headsets for extra crypto Skater, all of that agreed plus pushing is sketchy af. As someone who used to skate, like, its fine if it all worked right all the time. Theres some bullshit though. They need to let you move a few steps when it resets you. They just need to revamp that part of the game to be honest. Hope they take the feedback because its a lot of fun. HellRoad VR, Thank you for the review, just saw this poo poo went "wait, this looks kinda fun for 12 bucks". EbolaIvory fucked around with this message at 01:51 on May 18, 2021 |

Anyone have fps issues with Halflife Alyx? I have a 3080 and i5 8600k, and while it runs fine almost all the time I occasionally get drops down to 40fps. Happens on both Rift S and Quest 2, and doesn't seem to matter what quality settings I run it at. I've never really been that fussed, but just read a tech performance review that says a 2080 gets 180fps n never drops a frame. fpsVR has my cpu n gpu both running about 60%.

Fired up my Q2 for the first time in a few months bc I was craving some Superhot and was bombarded with 'tracking lost' errors, and now even though they've gone away following a few reboots it's still horrendously nauseatingly wobbly. I was worried that it had somehow developed some kind of hardware problem in the time it's been sitting unused but a quick search on Reddit suggests that v27 and a bunch of other upgrades have introduced, fixed, and re-introduced this nasty wobbly tracking problem and god jesus christ. Factory reset time maybe I guess?
