Zero VGS posted:This is nuts to me that we're in a new thread and people are still buying and recommending Rift S over Quest. Yeah I'm butthurt about Oculus sending scary-grams about developer mode, but still I as a Quest user it has far more utility than S at this point. Wireless tethering is *already* at acceptable latency, I can say firsthand. I think its hilarious that people are already recommending the quest over the rift s before link is even available. Its cute really. I get it. Its a 2 in one device now. But come on. Recommending it as the choice for PC first? Ehhhhhhh

Lemming posted:It's already not clear cut that you should get an S over a Quest even if you have a good gaming computer without the link, considering the various upsides of the Quest. With the value of the link on top it makes it the clear answer for the vast majority of people. Like for anyone buying into VR right now I think the most reasonable choices are Quest or Index if money is no object. But selling it as a PCVR headset, No. I agree with it being the go to recommend for average people dipping into VR for sure.

Blade Runner posted:I think the Quest is just going to be the best for the majority of people, and even if you feel that you only really want to do PC VR stuff, the ability to do the fully wireless and take it wherever is just too much of a utility to pass up. Want to bring it to a party, your backyard, etc.? Yeah keep in mind I'm not talking poo poo on the quest. Love mine, Was in the first ad for it, bla bla. I just would never tell someone "buy this for PCVR".

ROFLBOT posted:The Cosmos has been out, all of 2 weeks and HTC has already acknowledged issues and pushed out at least one update. Lets at least give it some space in the OP and see how it goes... Yep. Exactly this. I'll freely admit its not looking great and I was super excited. But hey, itll only get better. As far as price. Yeah, HTC can't afford to lose the same kinda money Oculus can on hardware. Sucks but thats the facts. It gets better itll be worth it imo. Still hecking waiting for mine. -_- Neddy Seagoon posted:If it was about $200-300USD cheaper and the tracking didn't have issues, I think it'd stand an okay chance of competing against the Rift S. As-is... yeah, nah. They're really delusional about stepping to Facebook with it, especially with the Quest being able to tether now. They've got the Cosmos coming and going, for a much better service, product, and price. Yeah but does it not deserve a mention? I mean it does have use cases. Even if the tracking is never up to my level of BS play, It should be fine for a ton of other content creation and games. I'm still excited for it. Just, Hoping HTC keeps working on things. I mean Viveport is tons better these days. So things are looking up. EbolaIvory fucked around with this message at 10:09 on Oct 12, 2019 |

Mr Luxury Yacht posted:As awesome as the Index looks I just have a hard time recommending it to people because of the price, especially as a first VR headset. I would never recommend it to someone starting out. This is what this thread forgets. Goons don't tend to think about non Goons and Non enthusiasts. I'm 100% vive pro + Wireless + index controllers master race over here, I'd never swap to an index unless wireless hits. I'd NEVER recommend this setup to a normal person. Maybe people who can light money on fire, but even then, is wireless worth 1300 bucks to some people? Because thats basically the difference between the Index and my setup. 400 is cheap. Its a good entry point, and saying "oh the index is the best buy it" to most people would put a lot of them off simply due to price tag. Nicer or not.

Stick100 posted:Yes, most people suggest (myself included) you go bow/caster only for Skyrim. The waggle a sword is so much less compelling than playing as Legolas or Emperor Palpetine. I started a Dual Wield sword melee thing. Oh boy. Wiggling down insane hard stuff with no gear was pretty hilarious. Killing things way harder than you should be able to because the game gives zero fucks and lets you just waggle waggle. Wont lie. Its fun, But for the wrong reasons.

BMan posted:IDK what you're talking about, the attack rate is still limited to what it is in normal skyrim Since when? My (Launchish) play through (That lasted a few hours because LOL bugs) that crashed over and over begs to differ. I literally ran around just swinging wildly murdering everything in my path with pretty much no gear and basic 1h swords. So unless they added something to "prevent it" no, you can still do a manic amount of small white damage hits over and over and over fast as you can swing. Are you referring maybe to the trigger for big swings? That is limited, But it kinda don't matter. EbolaIvory fucked around with this message at 19:51 on Oct 16, 2019 |

My internet went out last night for several hours, and ALVR worked absolutely perfectly and now that I have a taste for that sweet sweet wireless H3VR with zero tracking, buffering, latency or FPS issues I can't go back to wired. I heard virtual desktop is even better.

Happyimp posted:For the index, Borderlands looks like a horrible 360 video. It isn't 3d, and you feel like you are flying over huge controllers. Heard you had to use revive, but I have not tried it yet. Also, when you press forward to walk, you jump as well. Basically that seems to be the deal. OpenVR is hosed, Oculus works ok for some reason, use revive on anything but a rift/rift s IDK. They aint getting AAA money from me for it. No MP is a no sale.

Enterprise care is amazing. They ship first most of the time, everythings overnighted, paid both ways. I won't talk much about consumer. But every time I get dumped into that queue and they realize its not a consumer account its sorrys and heres a label. I do know the horror stories, and I have had our dept get involved once or twice because it was really stupid. So I guess if you can deal with enterprise, Its better. Wish consumer was better though. I get told its staffing and that might be the case since I've been dumped into the consumer queue a couple of times now. Either way, Buy your HTC stuff from amazon. lol #sponsored

ShadowHawk posted:The only part of the process I cited where staffing would help is reducing the time it takes for them to approve the RMA. Everything else about it is anti-consumer by design, because some jerk correctly realized it would reduce the absolute number of returns. IDK who you know, or talk to about staffing, but thats what I get told by employees outside of that center who have to work with said people bla bla bla. It could all be bullshit, but there is a level of care there that works. I honestly think they just have a lovely system to keep track and theres not enough staff for fast turn around stuff. Like, Doing my payroll paperwork and poo poo so they can pay me? hahahahah guys. You have no idea how backwards and old timey some of the poo poo they do is. EDIT: What I'm trying to say here is MOST of the people I've met wanna help. The ONLY person whos been "hey ur shits out of warranty bla bla" and just shotgunned the whole thing was the most recent person and thats never happened like that. Normally I get someone whos semi chatty and ready to help (even when I get thrown to consumer care), but who the gently caress knows what happens after the call ends ya know?

Combat Pretzel posted:It makes no sense, because I have had the game just break performance without changing the installation or adding songs. Any "garbage collection" is memory bullshit that would get reset with restarting the game. I mean. I'm going off what the coders who write major addons for said game say. Which ends up being engine limitations + garbage collection. Liiiike, have you seen some of the new wall maps? My CPU/GPU does not 100%, yet the engine cannot keep up with whats going on at times. Fun fun fun. Keep in mind, Its my literal job to have this poo poo running well enough to not have issues. Its probably collection build up from cache saves bla bla bla. A fresh install fixes it basically for everyone unless they have deeper steamVR issues or something. And I mean fresh. No copying your old poo poo back over. Also the IPA thing, Is a piece of poo poo. If you notice something opening and closing randomly while playing, thats what that is. Reinstall BS at that point.

I know multiple people clearing E+ with top 10s on WMR LIke, Real E+, proper 300+ PP maps. WMR works great. Just like the Rift S does and the quest do. Note quite as good but its enough to score on serious maps. And score well. Hell I did tracking demos with sound boxing and art of fight back like 2 years ago and it kept up just fine.

Also WMR chat. https://scoresaber.com/u/76561198025285619 That guys on WMR (pretty sure thats the right guy). Top 100 world wide. 90% accuracy on a poo poo ton of maps.

Cartoon Man posted:They’re custom made, often poorly. Occasionally you find a good song with rhythm and flow but too often it’s just silly and technically challenging without any groove that coincides with the music. This is inaccurate. Because your skill level isnt to where some of these maps need, don't mean they have no groove. Old crap, Sure. But the crap to good ratio right now is much higher than before. Remember. Just because you can't beat a map, and think its "hard". Don't make it a bad map. Some of the things you probably think are insane, I can literally dance and spin playing. Zaphod42 posted:Its whatever someone built the level chooses. Typically this means it reflects the beats in the song yeah, but some are better than others. Believe it or not, some of those faster looking maps actually dance super well. Gold Dust, Back and Forth, Hoohah, Circus, Mean Girls (yeah, you can bop to it, dont @ me)
