wow, Risk of Rain 2 VR really is incredible. Highly highly highly recommend. It's so cool to play a game in VR that feels this fleshed out and 'complete' anyone have any tips though? I've made it to biome 3 but keep dying to the boss there. I did turn off the dual wield on the default character so i do do all my regular fire damage with one gun, think that should make it easier.

add this "always sprint" mod besides that mod it to your tastes. Play as Vegeta or Trunks if you want and general gameplay tips: always be circle strafing and always be jumping. Double jump hopoo feathers are game changers for a run. Hit the teleporters asap. When you get used to the maps you can look around more in less time so leave the exploration for later runs. Try all of the characters. Work towards unlocking items and other characters Bandit is the best (most fun) in VR imo. forest spirit fucked around with this message at 12:58 on Jul 20, 2021 |

Oh that always sprint will help a ton. Though it will make the stupid shield graphic on the buckler even more distracting and annoying. Is there a way to turn that off?

Blade Runner posted:I've decided to get rid of my Pimax and go back to my Index because of the weird focal length and the comfort factor. It kinda sucks, since it really does make things look way better to have the FOV and the crazy resolution, but it's annoying to adjust and get it right, and the focal length makes you feel like you're looking at a screen close to your face. The Index, in spite of the FOV, just feels vastly more immersive. Oh well. Out of curiosity, what model Pimax was it? I found the focal length on the 5K and the 5K OLED to both be fine, but when I tried an 8KX from Amazon the focal length was horrifically close and I had to return it. For comfort, I've been using a Vive Deluxe Strap which is nice, but the 8KX had a ratcheting rear cradle with a huge forehead foam and it was even better than that. If it wasn't for the 8KX's focal length and the nerfed refresh of 75hz when at 4K per eye, it would have been the ultimate headset for sure.

personally, if you're already playing on Easy, I'd switch to deadeye and try to learn your way up through the difficulty that way before you learn too many bad habits. It's very tough but a much better workout and much more fun imo. also a fun IRL modifier for exercise is what I call 'planted mode' - try to play the game with your feet staying in the exact same spot. Loooots of squats. It really takes a toll quick.

You can get 90 Hz in 4k per eye with a 3090, but eh. The foam was also good, but it wears out really quick. After a few hard sessions in thrill of the fight, it soaked up enough sweat as to be basically useless. It was also difficult to get it into a good position, and prescription adapters basically just don't exist for it. Also, it's really hard to describe how much I actually care about the little things after going back to them; like, the controllers turn off automatically when you leave Steam VR on the Index, and you can just click the game button and start.

I'm more of a Beat Saber player than Pistol Whip, but generally I played every track on Normal, then cleared through everything on Hard, then worked through almost everything on Expert (except one or two songs that I just can't get) before giving Expert+ an attempt PS, gently caress Expert+

I'm having a tough time imagining how Deadeye makes the game a better workout? It seems good for working on precise movements, which is a goal in and of itself, but if you're aiming ( ) to get your heart rate up then hitting that difficulty slider sounds the much more effective choice I would imagine.Like, in Beat Saber having more cubes flying faster is a way harder work out than if I just try to maximize points-per-cube by working on my slicing accuracy... Ergo flailing from left to right back to the left and back to the right to shoot 4 guys sounds way better then precisely shooting the one guy on the left then precisely shooting the one guy on the right. Give them both a shot and make your own judgement IMO. Maybe Easy Deadeye will be more fun for you than simply just Normal with Assist. "Playing Right" sounds like a made up rear end term 🤨 Are you having fun? Then you're playing it right Edit: Oh right, I hadn't considered missing shots due to Deadeye = more dodging of incoming bullets required. Yea I guess actually I can see that being a big workout modifier -- but I still standby just figuring out which is more fun you

Pistol Whip took a little time to get used to, but I found it to be fun completing the levels on Hard with normal settings, then started doing things like randomize to make it harder to know how many shots an enemy will take. Also, have you done the story mode yet?

Sab669 posted:"Playing Right" sounds like a made up rear end term 🤨 Are you having fun? Then you're playing it right the term evokes the outrage some people felt when Mark Rosset got a gold medal for playing a different kind of tennis than was "right" and that makes me laugh. I just wanted to call out that repetitive stress injuries are a real thing and careless use of exercise of any kind can be problematic, and I think VR can exacerbate this because depending on the game you may be doing very specific and somewhat "artificial" actions over and over, along with button press and the wrist implications there. HMD weight needs to be considered, too, it's not nearly as bad as a motorcycle helmet but you're also much more unstable and prone to rapid movement than you are on a motorcycle. I'd say "if you're having fun and having a neutral to positive impact on your muscles and ligaments, then you're playing it right". I'm hypermobile and maybe think about this stuff more than the average person, but my observation is that lots of "average people" I know actually live with some amount of pain related to their postures and behaviors, and aren't very tuned into it unless it gets severe. It's better to stop that stuff from happening. I do like 3 mins of yoga stretches with one of my kids in the morning; I bet if I did that like 5x a day I'd be in overall better shape.

Its because the developer is anal af. I swear he is a perfectionist. I've had a "retail key" or whatever for 3+ years or something. He could have released this as EA years ago, made a fortune, and not a single person would have complained. Hes added so much content, and graphical upgrades, that its almost a new game at this point. Its wild. Highly highly recommend. Then review the hell out of it and be like "RELEASE THE FULL GAME ALREADY YOU TWAT" XD The Walrus posted:personally, if you're already playing on Easy, I'd switch to deadeye and try to learn your way up through the difficulty that way before you learn too many bad habits.

My Township Tale rant. TLDR: I feel deceived and ripped off. I do not recommend this game on the Oculus store. I think the private server thing is an absolute piss-take. You're meant to find some random dude hosting a private server and then just hope that the server stays active, just hope that people are nice, just hope you don't need to move and start over again for any number of reasons. And then you can only view 4 servers at a time, or at least in my experience (the turnstile wouldn't populate past 4). And while I was looking at them, wondering which one to pick, the list randomly updated them all (outside of the 30s countdown) so I lost what I was looking at. I cannot view servers I previously viewed. Ie: truther's server will appear once and never again. They tell you to go to discord to find a server except this won't apply if you're outside of the American realm, like in my case (New Zealand), as no one bothers to list which realm it's on - not that you have any control or visibility of that. Nevermind the fact you can't even get invited using an Oculus system? It seems more designed for PCVR players so why direct Oculus users to the discord (I loathe game which use external sites/apps in place of proper matchmaking or server browsing)... ... which brings me to the difference between the Oculus release and the PCVR version. The PCVR version is free. The graphics are significantly better. There is more content. Larger servers. More people. Turns out the Oculus "release" is actually a beta release. The store does not mention this at all. I only noticed when the version number was 0.0.2, or something close to that, after I logged in. Then the Oculus server cap is 8, not that I've seen any server with more than 6. 8 people is a piss-poor amount when you consider this is meant to be a bustling township. And because of this, it relies on each of the 8 players to focus on a different class... imagine finding out there are three blacksmiths and no chefs, limiting what you have access to. I get that it's a MMO-lite but 6/8 people? They're being pretty drat generous using MMO to describe the game. It's also absolutely terrible at explaining mechanics. One example is going to your township and entering the empty shops with inventory spaces on the walls. Who's that for? Can anyone deposit? Can anyone withdraw? Am I meant to just stand behind the counter? Why? Am I seriously meant to wait for 1 of 7 people to care that I'm selling stuff? How long should I wait? What if no one wants to buy anything? Work it all out yourself, because the game doesn't tell you jack poo poo. Oh and there's every chance you'll join a server to learn much later that people are already well past the early loop of the game and you won't find anyone to help you collect and craft stuff. Have fun collecting 200 wood by yourself... truther fucked around with this message at 23:55 on Jul 20, 2021 |

Morter posted:Fair point. Thanks! Echoing what some other posters have said, if you're having fun, who cares? Plus, if you bump it up a difficulty and you get murdered, at least you tried. There's nothing stopping you from going back down. And maybe later you'll get there, so what does it matter? Though some of my most fun moments in beatsaber have been when I cue up a difficulty that I've not tried in a long time because it wrecked me and just annihilating it on revisit. Also if you never challenge yourself, you won't grow!

That's normal. I just sit down in an office chair and spend 15 seconds spinning around to draw the guardian. The main downside is I normally play seated, so after the guardian is redrawn I have to turn on the experimental "treat it like I am standing" option

Oculus will refund if you played less than 2 hours. If you're one minute over they'll say screw you. I tried to refund Star Trek Bridge Crew after 2.5 hours because it's a buggy mess and they refused. You can play ATT for free on PC. Download the Alta Launcher https://townshiptale.com/download, create an account, click play on the launcher through virtual desktop to start it. The discord can help you find a server to play on since you can't create your own without becoming a supporter (for the same cost as the quest version). I doubt they'll make a steam version and if they do it'll probably just launch their lovely launcher. Sucks that the tutorial was broken for you. I remember I was really confused about the tutorial at first because it was talking about "docks" and I didn't realize there were spots on my belt to hold items which is what they meant.

Since I've had it, the Quest 2 has been a brilliant combination of frustration and astonishment. It has some of the coolest cable-less VR experiences that I imagine you can get vs. current headsets, but it is so loving fiddly. One update will break a key component of the whole system, but when that component works it just fuckin WORKS. I had a couple solid months of little-to-no issues, then delved into VR desktop/AirLink, which worked for another month but now it's super fiddly. I feel like it's the best intro headset for its pricepoint, but if you're willing to buy a gaming PC just to try out all the options available in the VR shops, I can't see why I shouldn't have saved up another good deal of cash for a headset that has all of the extra poo poo figured out more than the Oculus does. The Quest 2 can't even figure out how to connect to my router 70% of the time now That being said, I also don't want to give valve 1000 dollars, nor do I want to turn around and give facebook however much for a rift when they can't even get their entry level poo poo to work with a computer via WiFi. I have to buy a PCI-E card to even have Link work with the recommended powerline USBC-A cable, and I won't spend 80 bucks on the Oculus cable. This is absolutely the fool's hobby for somebody that wants to just play Myst in VR, but god loving dammit I am that fool and I love this stupid hobby
