EdEddnEddy posted:... Oh god  quote:Bad in the sense that going back to my 27" 1440P screen feels like I am back on a 15" CRT after playing on an iMAX screen in my Rift. Jeez. It is actually quite playable and fun, however I tried to stream while doing that, and my 980Ti wasn't having any of that lol. Might try it lowered to 1080P and see if that helps some. It worked, but I played worse because of it (I think around 30FPS but it wasn't really the game, more Virtual Desktop starting to choke while the Game eats GPU cycles as well as OBS Studio doing its Streaming/Capture overhead. A 1080Ti should fix all that I am guessing. Oh. Yeah that sounds pretty kick rear end.

I picked up a Vive last night. I only had a few hours to play with it but it is awesome. Played Job Simulator for an hour and a little bit of vivecraft. I picked up some 6ft camera tripods from microcenter with the Vive for the lighthouses, figuring it would give me some flexibility in set up but to move everything I'd need to haul my pc around so I'm going to take the tripods back and just mount the lighthouses on the walls.

Ok, I know this is probably old hat to you folks who have had VR for months now, but Google Earth VR! Just the scale of everything. And I guess The Lab's pretty fun too. I also played through Call of the Starseed and it's short but cool.

Just finished Dead Secret. I liked it. The addition of VR elevated it a bit above a standard point and click and it didn't rely on moon logic for the puzzles. It is a bit short though.

Apple will wait a few years, come out with their own VR/AR, and be lauded for inventing VR/AR. The iVR will most likely be behind on features compared to Rift 2/Viive but will feature beveled edges. Also, they will be available in a few colors, but Apple will only make three rose gold headsets a week so they'll be back ordered for weeks. This will somehow be your fault. No, a black, silver, or white one won't be good enough! (gently caress working anywhere near sales during a new iPhone launch.)

I planed on trying a few minutes of Rec Room today. You know, tryout a game or two for 15 minutes or so. I went into the quest room and was the 4th person to join that instance. I finally logged off an hour later having learned that Quest was fun as hell and that I should never be allowed near the bow because I can't aim for poo poo when I'm not accidentally team killing. Soundboxing continues to be fun. I've taken to browsing the latest challenges to get a good variety. There's someone out there who loving loves anime soundtracks though.

Yeah, if it worked natively on the Vive I'd already have Robo Recall, but I don't want to have to jack with a third party app (that may or may not exist in the future) on top of having to split my game library between two store fronts.

If you like rhythm games check out soundboxing. Call of the Starseed is a great translation of the point and click genre to VR. It's a bit short, but if you pick up a Vive new it's one of the free games that comes with it. 8one6 fucked around with this message at 16:29 on Mar 27, 2017 |

I bought a few games on the Steam VR sale. Boo Breakers: The Ghostening: Ehh. It's a shallow Ghostbusters knock-off, but it was only $2.50 and I feel like the half hour I spend busting ghosts was worth $2. Vanishing Realms: Only played an hour so far, but I'm liking it. As The Lab and Rec Room have proved I'm poo poo with a bow. Knockout League: I thought "Well, 8one6, you've put in 11 hours in Soundboxing, how different could this be?"  Ducking and dodging are using muscles groups I abandoned in high school after I took up my all lasagna diet, (I'm a fat loser, you see)* but I look forward to getting into enough shape to play video games. The other games I haven't put any time into yet because of my work schg, but I'll be bothering the thread with updates as I play them. *It wasn't quite that bad, but I'm down 70lbs from my max weight and already down about 10 lbs this year thanks to major eating changes and being way more active.

I didn't so much finish playing Arizona Sunshine as I decided I was done with it. The good: This is a great looking game that offers sliding locomotion (in addition to teleportation), gun mechanics that are solid without being tedious, and the devs obviously put some work into the environments. That said, ultimately the reason I'm giving this a do not recommend is because it's an seriously frustrating game. The single player is a mostly linear progression from one location to another, broken up by searching for supplies and large hoards of zombies that are triggered by you picking up necessary plot objects. I got stuck on one such hoard of zombies and gave up after the ninth attempt to get past it. All of the previous waves at that point had been extremely difficult to deal with without cheesing the fights in some way (mostly finding a way to funnel them into attacking from one predicatable direction and then hoping the game didn't spawn them with bullet-proof motorcycle helmets.) The only change resigning myself to easy difficulty made was the game giving every gun a laser sight. Aiming isn't my issue with the game. The 15 minute EVERY-ZOMBIE-IN-ARAZONA hoardes were my issue. Go ahead, get your 'git gud' scrub comments out of the way but I wouldn't recommend this game at its current $40 price point. 8one6 fucked around with this message at 23:06 on Apr 16, 2017 |

Job Simulator is great for introducing people to Room scale and motion controls, which is the only reason I've left it installed. It's not a bad game, but pretty much every other game I've played has been more entertaining.

Gather around and hear the tale of my first seated VR experience! So I was browsing the Steam VR store in VR (my first mistake) when I noticed that Subnautica was on sale and it listed official Vive support (see section 2: Support Rant). "Hey," I spoke aloud for the benefit of the readers, "I've heard good things about Subnautica. Let's try it out for $10." Bought and installed the game, launched VR tried to launch the game. "This game doesn't support motion controls." Oh, well that sucks. Ok, I already bought so I guess I'll try out VR as a seated experience then. I plug in my 360 controller and launch the game sans wands. The start menu looks good (if a bit low to the ground, no big deal.) I point my face at the start button and hit "A" on the controler. Nothing. Hmmm. Windows sees the controller. I load up another game, it recognizes the controller and I can play a bit. I try unplugging the controller and launching Subnautica with just mouse and keyboard. Again, I point my cursor at the start button and lry a mouse click. Nothing. Enter? Nothing. Hmmm.... A goick google search doesn't reveal much other than this is a known issue and people get into stupid internet slap fights over everything, including what constitutes "VR support" and if the 360 controller is or is not the most supported controller on PC or of all time. "Well, that was fun." I again say aloud for the purpose of the narrative as I request a refund of my $10. I could have probably dicked around with it and found a solution, but honestly I was already disappointed in myself for not noticing that it was seated only and I didn't feel like troubleshooting a controller issue for an early access game. And that's my seated VR experience. Section 2: A small rant. If you don't support the controller/control scheme that came with a system, then you don't support the system. Just because you opened the project in unity and/or unreal and clicked the checkbox for "render in VR" does, technically, mean you created a VR game, but if you aren't going to bother to support the entire VR system then it's no better than a lovely android game port.

Honestly, don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. If you can still groove to the beat and work up a sweat the beat map is fine. Unless you're that giant who makes beatmaps that you'd need 5 elbows to 100% the challenge, then you can get hosed.

It looks fun as hell to me but I've been a Trek nerd since I was 5 so I'm biased as gently caress. I watched this (Trigger Warning: You tube personality) and I decided that I would pay full price for the game. Now I get if that doesn't look like fun to you (I couldn't give a poo poo about certain game genres) but for me it fires the wish fulfillment part of my brain hard. Like, I'm that rat in skinner box dot jpeg and the idea of a Star Trek VR bridge sim is the button.

I'd say that is tangentially related? Unless we have a different ideas on what that word means too. Yeah. If a significant number of the people someone associates with are white supremacist (as is the case with Palmer Luckey) then it's a pretty safe bet that, while he may or may not own a white hooded robe himself, he's likely sympathetic to those same beliefs.

Fooz posted:I'm not sure I'm ready to accept any locomotion solution overall yet. Stick/pad locomotion has a lot of advocates who whine about every single game without it, but even ignoring nausea it's not really any more 'immersive' to me. It just makes me feel like a wierd slidey man instead of a wired teleport man, things are strange when moving around nearby objects and i end up barely moving at all. I don't hate teleportation but I find myself preferring pad locomotion for most games if it's an option mostly because it feels like what I'm used to with non-vr games. You're right that (for me at least) one doesn't feel any more immersive than the other. SwissCM posted:There's two I like: The only one I haven't been able to get a handle on yet is the Climbey-style, but to be fair all I've played with that is the demo and I couldn't quite get the timing right on running jumps.
