Until You Fall I think perfectly captures the fun and thrill of VR while being relatively simple and approachable.

How playable is it in single?
Fun but short seems to be a common description among VR games.

you can grab stuff from a distance, just point your hand towards it and it will highlight when it's grabbable

Just one more thing!
I'm messing with VR stuff again for the first time in awhile. I have a quest 1 and have been using oculus link (via usb) + steam vr, mainly just to play games that I can play while sitting. I couldn't find a good answer easily with search so I was wondering if anyone in here would know:

I'm playing on PC, sitting, facing forward. Sometimes when I load up games, the view is rotated 90 degrees, as if I had started the game while facing to my right, so facing forward what I initially see is what I should see if I turned to my left. Resetting the view fixes this usually until a screen or environment transition happens. Any ideas?

edit: I figured out that it seems like resetting the view doesn't set things on a quest level so exiting and reentering quest link works if nothing else does.

Agreed 1000%

Games good. Captures VR very well. Is playable with moderate space.

forest spirit posted:

yeah not as a first thing for Nana but most people can hack the shooting range/sandbox after they've played something else for 10 minutes. The headbobbing isn't huuuuge and you have a slowmo which in my experience people just hold the gently caress down forever.

Gonna disagree with you and assume your sample size of people is a handful of gamers.

I still get sick from that lovely mess of a "game". its a tech demo at best.

I bought superhot in the current sale going on and I am disappointed how short the game is. I realize you can keep playing the different modes after finishing but I thought there would be more to it. That said, it is fun and I enjoyed it, but I wish it was more like $10 rather than the $20 I spent on it.

If you enjoy the concept you can get a lot of mileage out of the 5 endless mode levels

Huge? I completed it in an area a few feet square. Most areas are do-able from the point you spawn in, and in the larger ones you automatically teleport at certain points. The game is all about being economical with your movement, running around all over the place just gives the enemies more chance to get you.

Definitely true, but I had a blast with it after throwing a heap of mods at it (mostly the same mods I used for the pancake version). I've played it for 300+ hours in VR and really enjoyed just doing random excursions to random enemy strongholds and killing everything with random weapons and watching gibs go flying in random directions. Especially using a spawn mulitiplier mod and tossing grenades at a horde of ghouls is just great in VR. And killing yourself with your own grenade because throwing is jank in VR is also equally fun.

I think it comes down to what you expect from it and your tolerance for IK jank and head bob. I personally loved the game, but I can see why people don't like it. The good gunplay covers a lot of its sins for me, personally.

The reception may have been a bit different if it came out after ALYX, but since it came out before, it was the only game of its kind for a bit, really

Back when I had the CV1/Rift S and could better throw poo poo, I loved the level with the pool table and got really good at shotputting pool balls at guys' heads. I could kill the first five guys with pinpoint pool ball headshots almost every time.

No more than regular Skyrim. Maybe even less so because you really want to go barebones with VR mods, and there's like ten or fewer mods that you really "need". :shrug:

In case you're looking for a VR fitness thing, I've been playing X-Booster lately and it's working out quite well for me. It's pretty much just a more intensive Beat Sabre, but it's doing that quite well. The main thing that sets it apart is that it lets you upload your own mp3s and use those, which is the main thing that keeps me playing it instead of the competitors. Also it's surprisingly good at tricking you into doing squats.

Is Until you Fall any different on Steam rather than native on Q2? Like do the levels work differently as not being small little zones? Or is it pretty much the same?

I bought Scanner Sombre on the steam sale and it's kinda neat

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NFlo9FEfaY

It wasn't designed with VR in mind, was added later, so there's no height adjust (i started out taller than the tent) and theres no way to change controls. The VR controls are kind of a mess. On quest its the left controller to turn and the X button to teleport a fixed distance. The right controller aims the scanner and the trigger scans, stick changes beam focus. It works but it's not ideal.

Still, it's on sale for $1.20 and for that price it's just fine. Heard it was about an hour or so long but like I said, $1.20

I think I got to the very end of the game and it bugged out and soft locked me from finishing. It was interesting though!

I started the RE2 remake in VR tonight. Holy moly this is fun.

Ahhh, nothing beats spending the day installing Bethesda mods only for something to not be working.
Today its FO4 and the pipboy shows no inventory and I have a weird black thing along the landscape, almost like in the shape of the mountains in the background, but instead of staying there, the outline moves with my vision.

Otherwise FO4 VR looks good.
Did haul in a lot of Steam VR games today though.

I played a bunch of fallout VR using wabbajak and a nexus premium account for one month. Definitely worth it, it's really cool and fun, for me it was worth the money.

The steam sale has some good VR deals, alyx is available for 25 bux. Is that a good price and is it worth it for the maybe 6 hours it's supposed to be long?

^ IMHO, Alyx is the best VR game currently available and is absolutely worth that price. I'd say it's longer than 6 hours, too. Steam says I have 11.5 hours in it.

It's so loving good, like probably the most polished VR experience you can get, so yeah it's worth it. Plus there's some neat levels for it in the Steam Workshop to extend the playtime by a little.
