Vib Rib posted:I liked Return of the Rottwieners, but I didn't like how it doesn't save your inventory. Every time I load up the game I have to spend like 10 minutes just going around the various shops and reward buildings and getting myself equipped before I head out. If saving inventory was impossible in the engine, it would have at least been nice to put all your unlocked stuff in one central armory, so I didn't have to take long hikes to all the different locales just to pick up stuff I've already earned. It's a Roguelite with persistent rewards.

When using Oculus Link, is there a way to mount my desktop screen in a way that doesn't render over everything when ingame? Is it really not possible to make near objects actually go in front of the displayed screen? It really fucks with my depth perception, but it's a really useful thing to have when working in Quill.

Pinned windows from Oculus Home will render behind close things, at least in some games. I don't know if it's something the game has to have programmed in or what, but I have for sure had desktop pinned windows rendering behind other stuff. deep dish peat moss posted:Can anyone recommend PC VR games where I can play with mouse+keyboard controls but use VR?

I had heard Demeo was a hard game, but I won my first two matches, and with some margin of error. Although I also heard the second scenario is harder, which I still haven't tried. In any case, I hope they deliver with regular updates, because they are missing some essential features, like saving the game, difficulty settings, and if possible custom rules/mutators (it would go well with the tabletop ethos).

thecluckmeme posted:the sheer spectacle of it could only be done correctly in VR. The first time I went back to the tavern in Asgard and realized I could be the tiny little human on the anvil, switched perspective, and then looked up at the GIGANTIC blacksmith giving an inquisitive look toward me is something I don't think you can recreate without VR. That poo poo was like staring into the face of God and realizing how small you are. If the MCU ever wanted to make a VR game, the Ant-Man franchise seems very well suited to this. Especially since he has to put on a visor thingy, so wearing a limited FOV headset is immersive. Then you can gently caress with perspective by become tiny or gigantic and do crazy quantum realm VR poo poo. It's perfect. Brilliant opportunity for a AAA VR game if there ever was one.

Martytoof posted:I’m having a really weird moment with Rez Infinite on Quest. I wondered if it has something to do with how the cursor movement is no longer tied to analog stick movement speed? I always loved Rez and would play it idly occasionally, but never made it past the 3rd or so level playing with a controller, i'd just rapidly get overwhelmed and die and never practiced enough to get good enough to get through those levels on ps2 or later on xbox. When I grabbed the quest version earlier this year I was expecting the same (i was actually... a lil drunk when i bought it on a whim and thought i'd half-cuttedly wobble through a couple levels then put it down forever just like before), but the cursor being fully motion controlled and aiming being so effortless and thoughtless meant I actually made it all the way through the game barely taking any damage. Finally got to see the last 2 levels! I wonder if part of the intrinsic almost accidental rhythm of enemies getting "snapped" to on the controller versions is partly a function of how your cursor can only move so fast even at max analog pressure, but motion control means you can fling that thing around faster than the game ever allowed before and with no mechanical limits on it beyond your own physical ability to whap your arm back and forth.

I never noticed any significant differences between them as far audio and timing goes. If you fire off individual shots they've always fired instantly, not synced to the beat. Chain shots do. I never noticed any stuttering on Quest though, so perhaps it's running strangely for you for some reason? e: Lord Bob posted:I wondered if it has something to do with how the cursor movement is no longer tied to analog stick movement speed?

And possibly Trover Saves The Universe? I don’t know tho, but I don’t remember it requiring much movement. I think Obduction would also work with m+kb. Edit: I should also say that I don’t know if Trover or Obduction can be played with mouse and keyboard, but I’m fairly sure you can play both with a controller/without motion controls. imhotep fucked around with this message at 13:25 on Aug 16, 2021 |

In the past they mentioned that they didn't want to have separate leaderboards for each modifier to not split the community. Modifiers were all a %bonus to score which worked well, I think maybe some kind of hybrid where modifiers still give a bonus, but scoreboards maybe split between Deadeye and Non-Deadeye, or maybe per weapon.

Can the DAS headphones “snap points” be adjusted? For some reason the left one needs a smidge more room to snap closed than is comfortable on my fat head and likes to pop open when moving around. The metal arms look like they could be bent a bit to make it fit better but I don’t know if that’s the best idea. deep dish peat moss posted:Can anyone recommend PC VR games where I can play with mouse+keyboard controls but use VR?

You lose out on the excellent bow mechanics but building stuff works a lot better with m&k. Both Subnauticas are controller-only as is Star Wars Squadrons.

Although I also heard the second scenario is harder, which I still haven't tried. The second level is much harder, and in a bullshit way. Your sight radius is very reduced (3 times less at least?). It makes you having to go slower and you jump in ambushes, you can't plan ahead because you don't see far away enemies, it's a big nerf to ranged combat and using traps, etc. This is all ok. It's harder, but you adapt to it, you buy torches, etc. The bullshit part is that it doesn't seem to affect the enemy, with their archers being able to fire at you from the other side of the map.

You know, this brings up something I really like about the original Quest: it's flat at the back. If I want to rest my head back against the headrest of my chair to watch something, I can. If I wanted to lie down with the headset and watch a movie or some trippy 3D stuff, I could. (I haven't yet, but I like that I could.) Can't do that with any other headset. The back of the Index (for example) bonks up against the headrest of my chair if I lean back too much. It's a bit of a shame since the back is a sensible place to balance weight, etc. It just makes sense to put some junk in that trunk for a variety of reasons. But in some ways I really appreciate the flat back of the OG quest.

I watched Friday the 13th Part 3D yesterday and my solution was just to put a neck pillow just behind the crook of my neck. Not the most comfortable solution but it was fine. Also watching a 3D movie in VR is awesome, like yeah it's not a "real" theater and no you can't see your actual body IRL so you lose that sense of the image popping out into the real world, but it's still pretty drat cool. Also the screen's way bigger than my real-life TV (which is big but not that big, and also not 3D-capable).

I remember we got it for free from oculus for whatever reason and I could do an rpg that doesn’t involve loving with Skyrim The seat, and the extra sensations were good. Graphics were somewhere between quest and pcvr. But the game was glitchy and buggy as hell. Not surprising since its software developed for such a small niche. Hopefully it turns people on to VR. The place sold the cheap smartphone VR headsets. And some nicer ones I think. But not stuff like the valve index or hp reverb.
