Wow natural locomotion is amazing and anyone playing first person games owes it to themselves to get it. Only issue is that I tangle myself pretty easily. Still, it feels way better and doesn't hurt my head at all.

I've been able to complete several songs at normal speed without missing a beat but my score tends to hover around 75% of the global leaderboards. Like 5 mill for me vs 7.5 mill for the global #1 score. In other words it's actually sound "boxing" not just hovering your hands around to hit the bulbs.

I wound up downloading the AMD Ryzen Master software. I messed with it and my PC immediately crashed at 4.0ghz. At 3.9 it would run windows, but crash while gaming, and at 3.8 it seems stable. I played Rec Royale and Minecraft VR all night at 3.8 and it was fine. Not a huge overclock, but 600Mhz isnt terrible either for stock cooling. The Rec Royale stuttering was slightly reduced as well

Increasing the voltage may get you over the line to 3.9 but it's probably not worth the extra heat/noise and effort getting it stable.

If you have the room and specs for a PC VR setup, it's a much better buy than PSVR. Not that PSVR's bad by any means (I have both myself), but you're gonna get most of the same titles anyway and some much more immersive VR experiences.

Like 5 mill for me vs 7.5 mill for the global #1 score. it's a multiplier based on the strength bars in back. you need to not only hit the beats but physically strike them with timed force to get the bar to maximum. its possible to 100% a song and get a very low score if you are just trying for light contact. also, it you have any song requests let me know and I can make it for you. also also, the soundboxing discord is not super active but theres some good ppl there if you want to talk about the game more.

if anyone finds themselves in the boat I was in, using an underpowered card (1050 ti), the low power upgrade to the 1060 6g is a pretty significant difference in performance. I got amazon same day delivery with prime on a $248 card. works in my Dell xps no fuss. I don't know how much time I'll have to do much vr after the holiday but I'll be more inclined if I've got some goons to ridiculous it up with in some pavlov, contractors, onward and stand out. my steam id is drjeffgoldblum if anyone wants to add me. west coast time zone.

Like I said earlier in the thread, it’s not “this is a whole new world”, but the 1060 really smooths out the bumps that the 1050 just can’t, which leads to better immersion and less barfing.

Thank you! What's the soundboxing discord? Do accuracy and timing matter or is it just velocity and not missing any beat balls? I've seen a lot of conflicting information and the only thing I've seen the dev confirm is that not missing any beats is super important. I did finally manage to crack the top ten on one of my favorite challenges that has been around for a few months. Only 10th right now and my shoulders are noticeably tired in a way I don't remember them getting even on arm or benchlift days back when I went to the gym regularly.

It's just velocity. It's just that, it's easier to hit notes well on time because they'll be right where you want them. Too early and you're reaching out too far, too late and it's too close to get a decent swing at. Not missing is important because it wrecks your combo multiplier.

LLSix posted:Thank you! What's the soundboxing discord? to a degree timing can mitigate velocity. the best SB player I have ever seen has very long play sessions because they mostly use their wrist and are very accurate with the timing despite not moving all that fast. personally I prefer punching or from the shoulder or full on dancing for a much better workout and more fun play experience. soundboxing discord is https://discord.gg/WZjGzVG and this is my most recent challenge if you want a long fun one: https://www.soundboxing.co/challenge/14eb632d-0a3d-11e9-867e-0a580a20022b a couple messy parts but overall pretty solid for the length imo.

I've spent at least five hours trying everything I can think of, including trying stuffing socks on the top/bottom to adjust the angle. Either my headset in particular is hosed, the design is hosed, or my head shape is fundamentally incompatible somehow.

Cicero posted:Played Raw Data for the first time last night, and the first time when robots were just coming at me and I realized they might reach me before I could kill them all, had a very visceral feeling of "oh poo poo". Definitely triggers the ol' fear reflex in a way FPSes with a similar setup do not. For me it was getting caught in the Budget Cuts demo. I also found out I can't throw knives worth poo poo (although I read this might be a Windows MixedReality problem).

Naw throwing poo poo in VR is super tough even with a Rift because your brain is used to compensating for weight/angle/release timing but that doesn't actually work in VR where you're actually just timing a button release. I basically have to throw everything very gently underhanded, and everyone I've put through Accounting + also struggled to throw the brick through the window until I told them to toss it underhanded, at which point they hit it the very next shot.

I tried Talos Principle VR for the first time today and the motion controls are superbly smooth. The devs obviously put a lot of time and effort into getting them right so that even a VR newbie like me can cope with the step locomotion. The locomotion configuration has lots of settings you can change independently of each other so you can set things up exactly the way you want them. The one complaint I have, and it is very minor, is that locomotion speed is hidden under game settings instead of VR controls. There don't seem to be any limits to roomscale support. I have a pretty small area, but I was able to move around inside it freely and even walk off ledges. Walking into a wall is pretty weird though. Talos doesn't let you clip through walls via roomscale, so it feels kind of like my brain ran into a wall even though the rest of me is still walking. This isn't a complaint, Talos handles walls well. Other games let you clip into or through walls, and it is terrible. I'm really impressed with how well locomotion was implemented in Talos; I wish all games would give their movement systems as much polish. I spent most of the day playing it and haven't cleared all of the first set of puzzles yet, so it seems like there's a fair amount of content. Some of the earlier puzzles were too easy; however, difficulty ramped up quickly. The stars are really hard, but I'm pretty sure they're mostly bonus content for puzzle enthusiasts and amateur masochists. The terrain looks gorgeous. Trees look like trees and grass looks like grass, even when you get up close. The sky just looks right for the most part and the way Talos handles horizons is fantastic. I don't want to spoil what happens when you try to walk off into the distance, but it completely fits the game's tone. You definitely should give it a try when you play it. The sculpture and walls are admittedly lacking in detail, but that just means they support the narrative of being in an artificial world even better than they would if they looked entirely real. Throughout, the developer's devotion to producing an excellent game shines through. There are so many fantastic little details. The popup display embedded in your wrist that tracks items you recover as you solve puzzles is genius. As are the signposts that indicate which puzzles have been solved and all the ways the game provides information about what areas have or have not been fully cleared while still encouraging exploring every nook and cranny. Bottom line: I booted it up intending to play for just 15 minutes and only stopped playing an hour and a half later because I got hungry. This seems like VR done right to me. It's on sale for 85% off right now. Game is a steal at just $6.

I jumped on a $95 Lenovo explorer without controllers since I really only planned on doing flight sims in VR. This was an awful choice because now I've discovered there are pretty much no VR controllers for sale outside of bundles, and you need them to even do simple crap like the steam vr tutorial. Are there any decent options I should keep an eye out for? I've only been able to fiddle with the headset a couple of hours but I'm very happy with it so far.

Ok, I have been super try-harding at Beat Saber and I am getting pissed. My Rift keeps losing tracking on my right controller during a session. Its off and on and it is driving me nuts because it only seems to do it while I'm in the middle of a song. After I fail the track I try swinging my controllers around just like I would during a track and there is no disappearing controller. I swing it as hard as I can to try and dislodge the batteries and there is no losing tracking if I'm outside of a song. But as soon as I join a game it has the same problem. My system is pretty hefty (Ryzen 1950X 64GB ram and 1080ti) so I don't understand this problem.
