Vic posted:I refuse to play Hades because you can't change difficulty settings - It's kinda racist if you think about it. Also it's popular, which is another reason to stay clear. I won't play it to spite it's raving fans, which are the main reason the game's bad. It's all red and black. there is "god mode" option which is very clever as it makes the game easier (or rather buffs you) the more often you die. Hades is just good.

I loved Hades and I think you are missing nothing by not playing it, it's the epitome of well designed time wasting garbage (that I'll keep playing for 40+ hours).

Aren't expectations weird? I bought pokemon sword a couple years ago. I distinctly remember being vaguely disappointed by it because it was so similar to X/Y and I put it down Well I re-downloaded it and now I can't figure out what I was thinking. It's a very well made and fun game

It's not the 3d that makes you motion sick, you view the actual world in stereo without vomiting everywhere (idk though I don't know you). It's that stereoscopy when projected or on a TV is fundamentally broken and will never look correct as the perspective will be wrong 99.99999999999999% of the time by design due to limitations of the medium itself. VR does stereo mostly properly (eye convergance is still fixed which causes issues for some, though this is a solvable problem it's still R&D only stuff) but there's also a bunch of other sickness triggers at play depending on what you do. Watching 3D movies in VR at least gives you the most optimal position and removes crosstalk, so it is an improvement. Aside from the brick hanging off your face. Half Life Alyx rules btw.

Everyone knows the Switch is basically selling to gen Z nerds as a high-end Gameboy Imma be honest - IMO Gold Box D&D games were the high water mark of CPRGs  that doesn't include Baldur's Gate

You're correct, but the specific years Nintendo games weren't good was in the mid-late 2000s. They're good now because they haven't changed much while everything else has gotten worse.

Zeluth posted:I still have not a tried a VR controller or any modern VR equipment. I just got a PS4 VR set up because they're really cheap right now with the PS5 version coming. You're not missing much. From the two whole games I've played so far, it's an amusing gimmick but not a transcendent experience. I hapen to like games that have amusing gimmicks so it's working out for me. I completed Psychonauts Rhombus of Ruin and it was a two hour long extremely simple adventure game. If I had paid more than  it might have annoyed me that it was basically a "check this out!" experience, but I didn't so I was fine.I also popped in Skyrim VR and was less entertained. And not just because I was playing Skyrim.  The interface is set up like you're playing in front of a 70 inch screen and you're sitting three feet away so you can’t see your health or stamina unless you look,away from the action and you have to look almost straight down to see the compass (at least that could be changed). To try to deal with motion sickness, they default to rotating your character in 45-degree steps which I found to be more disorienting than smooth rotation where it was easier to put my head and movement axis in the same direction. Also, Skyrim's head tracking drifts a lot. I think it tries to reset at every loading screen, which would be right when you're moving your focus around. They put in a "re-center" function at least. The most goofy thing of all is that it really doesn't look good. Everything looks like it's flat walls that have some "rock face" wallpaper applied to it. I've got a ton of games coming for it so I can try out more options (another reason I got the PS4 VR is that I could pick the games up cheap). The Doctor Who VR game should arrive today and I'm fully expecting an awful game but I'm hoping it'll be an entertaining experience which seems to be what VR is good at. One of the big reasons I got the PS4 VR is that I could try out the concept cheap and decide if I'd want to invest in something bigger. And the answer to that is absolutely not. I'm having fun and I know that the hardware I have isn't great, but I spent <$200 on the set up. The headset gives me eyestrain after about an hour and so far I haven't seen anything in what I've played or the demos that make me go, "Yes! This is what VR is all about!" I've got high hopes for Ace Combat 7 and Resident Evil 7. tl,dr: VR is a cute gimmick if you like unique gaming experiences, but you really aren't missing out on much by not using it. Vampire Panties posted:3d movies made me motion sick I have about 75% of the Kinect games. They work even more poorly than the VR does.

Random Stranger posted:I just got a PS4 VR set up because they're really cheap right now with the PS5 version coming. PSVR kind of sucks and is the worst VR hardware currently available. To the point where developers have avoided releasing their games on the platform in spite of the PS4 being perfectly capable of running them, because the games rely on decent controller tracking and/or visual clarity better than the eyesight of a 90 year old man with cataracts. You're making some iffy game choices, there was a lot of hastily produced poo poo to cash in on the late 00s VR boom like that Psychonauts VR thing. I like Walking Dead Saints & Sinners a lot, sort of a Deus Ex Immersive Sim kind of deal which taking full advantage of physical input (knives get stuck in skulls and you gotta yank em out!) though keep in mind that the quality of PS Moves aren't representative of real VR controllers. Astrobot is also wonderful in it's Nintendo-like glee of maximal use of the hardware. Try a driving sim of some kind, any of them really though Dirt Rally thrills in particular due to all the near-field movement from the tight courses. SkyrimVR on PCVR is very, very different, at least once modded, just about everything you complain about has been fixed and then some, adding full player bodies with world collision, immersive on-body inventory systems and quite a bit more than that. Though I admit all this is indicative of how VR is firmly still an enthusiast thing. IMO the "best" VR game overall is Walkabout Mini Golf, which is basically what it says and I'm sure you'll look at the screenshots and say the 90s called and they want their polygons back. You'll play it one day and you will understand. Alyx is also up there. Neither are on PSVR. SCheeseman fucked around with this message at 18:20 on Jan 3, 2023 |

I knew going in it wasn't going to be up to snuff with other headsets, but I also paid less than 1/5th of what I would have for an Index and I'm not even sure I could make the Index work in my space; I don't have any room for getting up and walking around while playing games. PS4 VR is my "is this concept even for me?" trial without sinking an even bigger pile of cash into it. $200 is already a pretty big buy in price for something that I wasn't even sure I'd like. I didn't have the Walking Dead game in my list of things to try since every Walking Dead game after Telltale season 1 was awful, but I'll add it to the list to try out.

Walking Dead Saints & Sinners doesn't have anything to do with the telltale game, the show and only barely the original comics. It's a new setting based in New Orleans and mostly borrows general lore and tone from the license. The immersive sim elements are light but present, lots of moments that let you be creative. If you play it, might as well mention that most common friction point is the weapon handling, which is all physics based and as such everything feels far heavier than you might be used to. The trick is to mime the weight in your own actions, act as if you're swinging something heavy. Basically, if all your attacks are glancing off enemies you're doing it wrong, slow down a bit until your in-game body better matches the movements of your real one.

Don't need one anymore. There's Meta accounts now, though you could correctly argue that they are sorta the same thing in an abstract sense, they require far less personal information than Facebook does and don't hook into Facebook social media systems.
