Just picked up a Quest 2 and holy poo poo, this is unbelievable! Echo VR is mind blowing, and Until You Fall is probably the most fun I've ever had. The choice to model your whole body and shadow, and make you walk to the beat of the music was just

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

Wabbajack is confusing me. It's asking for a download location and an install location, and the directions aren't very clear.

Piell posted:It will download the mods into the downloads folder and then install them into the install folder. Unless you're going between SSD/regular hard drive and are limited in space there's no real reason to make them different locations. Also once you start the download it should pop up a site that walks you through everything, assuming you use one of the big packs. (Here's the Skyrim FUS one and the Fallout VR Essentials Overhaul for example ) Is the install site not the actual game location?

Jim Silly-Balls posted:picked up into the radius. I am not necessarily a survival horror person by nature. Any tips for starting out? It's less horror and more survival. You're very capable of dealing with threats, especially as your gear improves. Be sure to calibrate your height and, most importantly, arm length. The game is pretty specific about where you move your hands, and you also have arm slots for small items (flashlight and knife for me). Food and drink all do the same thing, restore max stamina. Each one just does different amounts; the game doesn't track hunger and thirst individually. Monsters can see a pretty realistic distance away and will spot you in the open from half a map away. Spawn (tentacle spiders) are really annoying until you realize that they are stunned for a few seconds after a missed jump, you can pretty easily sidestep that jump, and they die to two knife hits. Sell loot items by throwing them into the shop bin. Artifacts don't usually spawn IN anomalies, but rather in the spaces between clusters of them. You can reverse grip with a flashlight by pressing B or something to do this:  Preparing for a run is half the game. Enjoy the tedium of loading magazines and organizing gear. Weapons can only be manually repaired by cleaning if they are orange and above. Anything in the red needs to be repaired in the train car for money. You have two longarm slots: over your right shoulder, and strapped to the side of your pack. You can't access the pack one without pulling the pack off first. Your pack will automatically return to your back if you move away. The base is completely safe at all times no matter how spooky it looks, especially at night.

Piell posted:If you stick a lit up flashlight in your pouch on your left side it will keep working and free up a hand to do MGS-style knife gun tactics You can also find lamps that light up in front of you when on a chest slot, and head lamps. There's also gun flashlights later and an artifact that gives you night vision. Knives are also super loving fragile and will deteriorate rapidly if you use them to pop fragment orbs.

Turin Turambar posted:An advice if you believe you are in the segment target for a game like The Last Clockwinder: the game needs a good amount of space, despite having the usual artificial locomotion, you are constantly throwing or catching stuff or stretching yourself to push a lever, etc so the game can be a 'boundaryfest'. Not having high ceilings in my new apartment has led me to stop playing Echo VR because holy poo poo I've punched the ceiling twice

Hyperlynx posted:Pretty much. I've mostly played games where you can grip with two hands but the game doesn't give you any accuracy plusses for doing so, or ones where there's no two-handing at all. I've had the opposite experience. I find it far more immersive and enjoyable to have to mimic the actions of holding a rifle, and the extra mobility that comes with being able to adjust your aim with either hand. Some games may not execute it that well, but others are outstanding. Contractors comes to mind as a great implementation of it.

This is the second save file in Into the Radius where distance grabbing has just stopped. No ui element, no functionality, just gone. Loafing previous saves doesn't fix it, its just gone from that save file. Anybody know what the hell?

I just played around with the update and the new gravity spells are FUN AS poo poo. In slow-mo everything physics related is more powerful, so the launch jump sends you super far and the hover jets are powerful. I finished a wave by clearing a jump between both sides of the Ruins upper level and pulling my spear from my back to dragoon a dude. The enemy fights better too, much more fluid. They can even sort of parry now! On the subject of creative violence, one of my most  moments was when I ducked under a guy's swing and grabbed him, slit his throat and then threw his body into an oncoming duo, knocking them down. Just felt so assassin's creed or somethingSandwich Anarchist fucked around with this message at 04:46 on Jul 11, 2022 |

explosivo posted:I bought B&S tonight and kinda struggled through the tutorial and then had no fuckin clue how to do anything once in the home area. After wandering around aimlessly for a while I finally saw the board by the dock and tried the arena out. Fun stuff, but I think I need to spend some more time with it as it's late and I have to work tomorrow. I did get one particularly gnarly kill with a sword that went like through their hand and into their neck and it was visceral enough to make me exclaim "holy poo poo!" in real life. Yeah the first couple times I played it I got queasy and I don't think it was entirely motion sickness.

explosivo posted:I played a bit more B&S tonight but I'm just not feeling it. I think the issue is that while the weapons and magic fx and animations all look very nice you're still waggling around a fake VR sword in combat and none of it really feels particularly satisfying to me. I think it's partially the way the enemies react to getting hit, like most of the time it feels like you're fighting a ragdoll. Standing there holding someone's head and rubbing the sword back and forth on their neck trying to get it to count as a slice. I think there's something here but unlike H3VR the basic sandbox elements don't feel satisfying enough to spend a ton of time on so I'll definitely be coming back to this whenever they inject some game into that game. The trick is to follow the physics that are baked into the engine. If you waggle things around it feels like poo poo and will do nothing, but if you swing slower and steady to match the weight of the weapon you will see major effect. B&S is easily one of the most viscerally satisfying things I've played once I figured out the quirks.

Jack Trades posted:Tried out the new B&S update since they updated the animation system. Yeah it's way way better. Dual wielders have gotten good at dealing with thrusts actually, they will use both weapons to deflect center if mass stabs. I did a dungeon run last night with rapier and dagger and had to really focus to get through it. It was way more fun than it has been.

Just getting tired of all the "I hate Meta and want them to fail and make no money, but I'm still going to buy their product because it's affordable" poo poo. But their stuff if you want to, have fun with it. Or don't, go without this one particular entertainment novelty and satisfy your conscience. Nobody needs to preface their purchase with a disclaimer about their feelings on Meta, and you not buying one of these isn't going to do anything to effect them at all.

The bundle looks great but i have contractors already and I'm not sure if I just want into the radius for that price. It's a well made VR flight sim, that's basically it. ItR is absolutely worth the price though.
