It’s that same feeling with VR. Truly game changing |

Date: July 8th, 2020 5:56 PM Author: Adventurous Newt Haunted Graveyard Yeah, if you'll regularly use it it's absolutely worth it, as long as you aren't a poormo. You get mind-blowing moments on a pretty regular basis in VR that are akin to playing a next gen game system on launch day. It's really impressive now that the Index has improved clarity to what I would consider an acceptable level. The original Rift was fun as a novelty but felt archaic in many ways other than the controllers. It was hard not to notice the lack of vividness, low resolution, etc. The index really delivers.
It does require some work to set up and it's easy to get into the habit of not using it for long periods of time. You will want to chill on the couch with a controller, not wearing a headset, when tired. Sometimes I go several months without playing it. Then I play a few minutes and it triggers a phase where VR is just about all I play, and I can't even imagine fucking around with TTT flat games. |

Date: July 8th, 2020 5:41 PM Author: Snowy temple rigpig What VR games do you recommend?
What are some good steam sales? Best saber is not on sale I see.
How do you get over motion sickness?
I got it several times and it turned me off of VR for a bit, even though I love it and am amazed by it. |
|
Date: July 8th, 2020 6:24 PM Author: Adventurous Newt Haunted Graveyard I don't have beat saber but I got Audica on sale and it's great, very polished.
Last night I bought pistol whip on humble bundle to get a 20% member discount (it's otherwise never been on sale), and that's my VR killer app now. Physically strenuous but it's the best game I own.
You want a quality, cheap rhythm game, beats fever is 6 bucks
Other games that are great and/or bargains:
Raw Data Creed: Rise to glory Distance Jet island Redout Rez infinite (it has a special vr-designed level that I like so much that it's worth it just for that level but playing the standard game in VR is great too) Pixel Ripped Windlands package Ultrawings Overload (if you're an old school PC gamer) Thumper Boneworks Moss Polybius (if you like retro shit this is a must buy. It's not on "sale" but used to be a $17 game and the "normal" price is now $7. This game will get your heart racing and give you a fucking seizure, it's the most visually intense VR game
My picks for standard racing would be Project Cars 2 and Dirt Rally series
There may be other stuff in my oculus store library also worth getting. Asgard's Wrath is supposedly a top tier game and I was thinking of buying it to play with Revive. Robo Recall is probably one of my favorite games too, and works pretty well on the index (not sure if I'd pay full price JUST to play with Revive though. I got the game for free with my rift).

|
Date: July 8th, 2020 6:02 PM Author: Adventurous Newt Haunted Graveyard Yeah I've played a few hours so far. It's pretty good and polished, great graphics, definitely a top tier experience, maybe a slight bit overrated though.
So far the best moment was right at the start, where you go into Alyx's little hideout and her plans are written on the window in dry erase markers. You can erase them with your finger. Needless to say, realizing that the markers could actually be picked up and used, and that I could write "NIGGER" on a virtual window was a peak experience. The rest of the game hasn't had quite that level of creativity/interactivity though. Sometimes it plays like a drawer opening simulator/scavenger hunt.
Boneworks has more jank, but the interactivity is much higher. Doesn't make the initial impression of Alyx but after a few hours with each, I think it's better. |

Date: July 8th, 2020 6:06 PM Author: Adventurous Newt Haunted Graveyard Never really had severe VR related nausea. Some games I can feel it in my stomach like a roller coaster, but it's an enjoyable rush. Only downside for me is the occasional headache.
My girlfriend does not really have her VR legs yet. I put her on Windlands 2 (you swing around like spider man) to see what would happen for just a couple of minutes, and she was loving it so I let her keep playing. Then very suddenly, she got sick and puked her guts out after about 20-25 minutes. |
|
Date: July 8th, 2020 6:34 PM Author: racy orchestra pit patrolman The motion sickness is what caused me to take a huge step back from it. I dunno if I need to pick it up and work through it or what. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4579475&forum_id=2#40570038) |

Date: July 8th, 2020 6:48 PM Author: Adventurous Newt Haunted Graveyard There are games that shouldn't cause any motion sickness. Motion sickness usually comes from moving your visual perspective around in VR without your physical body moving along with it (i.e. using the analog stick to walk forward in a first person game). Using teleport movement and snap turns greatly reduces this, as would using sort of a room scale setup where you physically look around and move.
Alternatively, you can play games that don't involve moving your perspective, like rhythm games. And the games absolutely least likely to make you sick involve looking down at the world from a third person perspective, like viewing a board game in 3D. Games like this include Moss and Final Approach. |

I love VR but every time I play walking dead I feel sick and I sort of avoid it even though I want to play |

Date: July 9th, 2020 12:43 AM Author: Adventurous Newt Haunted Graveyard 1. Gaming PC with a 2080ti. You can get an acceptable experience on a 1080ti, but the image will have less clarity because you won't be running the same resolutions/supersampling. There are some games where I wish even the 2080ti had little more juice.
2. Only thing that MacBook pro is useful for is being slammed shut, shitlib
3. It's the all around best consumer setup with wide support. There are various systems that may be better in one specific area, but have other drawbacks that make them much worse overall. There are also very high end headsets in the $3k-$5k range that are tough to even acquire, and have great specs but aren't widely supported. Index is the clear leader right now in my opinion. |

Date: July 8th, 2020 7:54 PM Author: exhilarant bawdyhouse Have you tried PSVR aim controller for FPS? It’s a gun controller and so fucking awesome. I play firewall with it (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4579475&forum_id=2#40570329) |
|
Date: July 9th, 2020 12:48 AM Author: Adventurous Newt Haunted Graveyard No but I used to be loaded up on Time Crisis and other guncon games pre-VR. It's pretty cool to have what are essentially souped up light gun games make a comeback.
I can imagine a gun controller would be useful (although I'm usually dual wielding in VR). Games where you mimic holding two hands on an assault rifle to aim really don't work that well without an actual physical gun.
Can't imagine playing on PSVR though. It's a large step below the original Rift, which itself was not good enough and had me wanting better image quality from the first day I had it. |
|
Date: July 15th, 2020 8:57 PM Author: exhilarant bawdyhouse Agreed on PsVR being lower graphics—it’s an entry level Vr. But the game firewall has really good graphics for PSVR, is 4v4 multiplayer and works amazing. There’s nothing better than holding the physical gun controller and looking around corners and basically acting how you would with a real AR. Adds so much immersion. I just wish the PC boys would realize that gun controller should absolutely be the standard for future FPS VR titles. If it was I would absolutely waste $3k and buy a great setup.

Date: July 15th, 2020 8:14 PM Author: Adventurous Newt Haunted Graveyard I just bought Asgard's Wrath to play on Revive and it's very impressive. The level of visual detail, scale, and cinematic presence is a cut above just about the every other VR game. It's one of the only VR games to truly look AAA. I'm really looking forward to playing through this one. Supposedly it has the content of a legit AAA (or maybe AA) game.
Only bad thing, and admittedly it's major for VR, is that the physics and level of interactivity are weak. . . there are many things you can't pick up, and they react in limited ways when you do. For example, if you pick up a bottle and gently sit it down on the counter, it's going to shatter in a predetermined way instead of rolling ( or sitting if you stand it up). If you open a door, you just press the button in the right spot and it automatically opens. You don't turn a handle and push it open. I'm not sure why they slacked off on this aspect of the game so much. Even games made by a single dude like Vanishing Realms do this better, and it's way way behind other top games like Boneworks and Half Life Alyx. The interactivity feels like a game that had VR grafted on after the fact (like Skyrim VR), although the level/scenario design was clearly made for VR from the ground up.
I can't wait to see true emergent gameplay hit VR. There is a tavern in this game that looks really impressive with all the guests drinking, band playing, etc. It really puts you in the scene. And picking up a bottle and smashing it over someone's head feels fucking badass. But then they just grumble and barely flinch and ignore it. Something like GTA, open world, everyone reacting sort of realistically to what you do, would be amazing.
