I haven't played much VR but I like horror a LOT. I played VR Resident Evil 7 at my friends place and ohhhhhhh no no no. Like, yes, but mostly no no no it is extremely loving intense and I was pouring sweat and my heart rate must have been 180bpm. I love horror and I get a rush out of getting scared but it was a lot.

In the SNES days I thought yoshis island was terrific. SMW has this aesthetic cleanliness that i always found, frankly, creepy. YI is not so shiny, it's grungy, and has personality that borders on comix territory, but it's gorgeous. The character control is better, and you get limited flight and projectiles that breaks it out of the usual platformer's abilities that feel so neutered. I remember fewer single-level twists/gimmicks than SMW, and probably less content, but there were always things to keep you surprised and delighted. Personality is the word. The world as a whole had it, and each individual baddie had individual personality, like different cats do in real life.

Constantly stop and stand still to shoot and do a floaty jump aren’t fun gameplay. Gimmick levels are cool and good. It’s not fun to hear Yoshi strain trying to take a poo poo every time he jumps.

I tried to play yoshis Island when it came out for the GBA after hearing all the hype not having an SNES. It was really boring, and I agree with the above poster that stopping to aim and picking up the crying baby aren't good mechanics, or at least they aren't well utilized. The obstacles and levels felt like a chore instead of a fun game. I'll grant that it looks fantastic, but that's about all I can say about it

abigserve posted:The best VR games (eleven, walkabout) are about taking an existing real life experience that involves generally little movement but a lot of fine motor skills and converting into VR. Imo, it works great for this, and there's a bunch of other sports that would translate really well like golf, snooker, darts, air hockey, etc. Importantly, you don't need any suspension of disbelief with these types of games, you just start playing them and totally forget you're even in VR. Golf feels completely artificial to me without feeling the correct weight and grip of the club and impact of it hitting the ball. Any other sport game I tried felt wrong for similar reasons. Admittedly I haven’t tried many in VR and I’m mostly going off of how they felt with Wii motion controls, but I think I still wouldn’t enjoy them nearly as much as the real thing.

VR isn't a complete simulation of the world or a replacement for any actual activity, its still just a video game but with a different screen and controls. Expecting golf to feel like real golf is a silly and unrealistic expectation.

The lack of weight/feedback/resistance definitely makes most things feel "not quite right". Things emulating table tennis feel pretty good due to how lightweight paddles and pingpong balls are, but everything else has the same problem the wii did. Anything emulating boxing in particular really suffers. You have an opponent in front of you and you want to throw a punch that your brain is telling you will connect with a physical object, but there's nothing there so you have to mentally train yourself to remember you're only shadow boxing so you don't over commit. In some ways the wii is actually better because you don't have that mental disconnect when you're looking at a television

Some people manage to have fun doing it by getting loving loaded with their friends, but I know a lot of people who go golfing by themselves or with one person fully sober, early morning on a Sunday. I understand doing it for work reasons but it’s a big ol’ yikes. I’d rather hang out with literally anyone doing anything else. Need to relax and feel rich? Go buy a boat. Golf Story, accordingly, is over hyped and is just not a good game. The only good golf games are the N64 ones played with friends when you were all drunk and not good at it.

I agree it’s too expensive, but really it’s not much outside the price of video games as a hobby. You can get a cheap set of clubs for about the price of a console (nice ones are more in the gaming PC range, I guess), and rounds + the balls you’ll lose on a public course are less than the price of a AAA game and provide a few hours entertainment with friends. Expensive private courses for the rich can gently caress right off, though.

I'm definitely a middle class oval office, but I paid like 100 quid at Argos for a bag of clubs and then the course near me is 8 quid a go. I appreciate that's a fair whack of cash for a lot of people, but it doesn't feel prohibitive? I'm not 40 (yet, eugh) nor do I go every week, but it's something quite nice a fatass like me can do instead of play New World all day. I think there's far worse. /edit: oh right, yeah, I go with my wife. gently caress a bunch of going with golfers. All sports computer games are poo poo except Tony Hawks and wipeout.

You literally CANNOT tell the difference between max and min settings, and it looks like poo from a bum. But then every so often, you get a glimpse, where it's loving stunning, and it's super weird, because why isn't more than 1% of the game visually appealing?

That's fair enough really. 8 quid is a steal from what I've seen. I'm in Scotland so my nearest golf club is £95 a go and has a 3 year waiting list for membership (£500 plus) And yet strangely id rather to spend my entire evening at the driving range skiting balls 40 feet along the ground than play 20 minutes of New World.

I dunno about your comparison because the driving range is better than a course anyway, and is awesome. But yeah, New world is poop soup. It's just a bunch of our friends play, and so is a nice, non committal thing to be doing while we hang out on discord. The PVP is better than any MMO I've played, but it's still very obviously a poo poo game, no bones about it.

Mechwarrior 5 is a bad video game guys. About half the missions in the game put you up against opponents who have artillery and the game draws these big red circles on the ground so it's basically a "don't stand in the fire" MMO mechanic except that the artillery fires every 10 or so seconds with pinpoint accuracy. There was like 8 guns tucked into one corner of the map on one mission so I dragged my rear end over 2 kilometers out of the way to blow them up so I didn't have to deal with that stupid bullshit and they RESPAWNED. RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. WHY DO YOU EVEN PUT THEM ON THE MAP AND MAKE THEM DESTROYABLE IF YOU'RE GONNA DO THAT? You have pretty much no control over your lancemates. "Follow me" and "attack my target" is it. They will follow you, unless they see absolutely anything to shoot at, including a turret armed with short-ranged lasers that have a max range of about 100 meters that is about 500 meters BEHIND you. They'll go all out to try and get that thing, nevermind that it's harmless and the mission objective is still 800 meters in front. There's also nothing you can do when they get banged up a lot. You can't tell them to ease off and fight more defensively, or tell them to try to stay at a certain range so their weapons are effective. It's balls-to-the-wall even if they're crippled and since nobody tries to hold a formation or anything it just ends up being circles of death at 50 meters for the entire battle (a problem in all Mechwarrior games, admittedly). And they have some lovely, lovely voice acting. I had a lancemate that was supposed to be Asian and I think the only reason they don't have her say ME RIKEY when you give her a command is because they know they'd get dragged for it. The missions that don't (usually) have artillery usually involved destroying a base. The base is huge, has to be 100% leveled, and it's not always entirely clear what parts count as the base and what parts are just window dressing around-but-still-basically-in the base. It would take hours to 100% level one of these bases with just your weapons, so all you end up doing is crashing into things and grinding your face across the walls, unable to see anything or shoot at anything, until your idiot fucker XO tells you you're done. I love Battletech. I have been playing Battletech in one form or another since the 1980s. I am not hard to please when it comes to Battletech stuff. Mechwarrior 5 is a bad video game.

I always wanted a game with a gameplay loop like MW - manage a mercenary company - choose contracts - upgrade you and your company - customize - but with controls more like Far Cry and is an honest first person shooter not a mech sim. Lol you can call the contracts ‘levels’ like a real video game.
