It was free on PS Plus and that's what caused me to grab it for steam during the sale. I much prefer playing it on the PC.

Witcher 3 is cool and good because you can cut dudes in half. And then watch pretty sunsets.  And listen to Geralt make puns.

I was hankering for more Batman, and noticed Arkham Knight is only £10 at Bundle Stars so I snapped it up. Is it still broken, technically? I don't care about DLC. Are there any tweaks I should do before I play to make sure it runs as smooth as possible?

When I first saw this I wasn't sure if it was real. Then I remembered Geralt is the same character who charged out into a storm, drunk off his rear end to kill monsters in the first game.

I had a lot of fun with that game though and you can just slice your way through stuff with a big-rear end 2H sword. I actually do have KoA for some reason, never really played it (maybe I picked it up in a bundle or something?). Might as well give it a go- is it as MMO-ey as people say? Or is there some actual storyline in it besides 'collect 5 bear asses'?

The story is ok there is one at least there is a lot and I mean a lot of side quests I ersonally I just ran around and did lots of them but a lot of people say if you keep doing them you out level everything so dont do too many. If you want a good "2h smash things" game thats your go to until you get a chance dragons dogma in te future possibly but yeah kingsom of amaular it really good. I dont realmember much blah nm

duckfarts posted:i'd say yeah for the waving your arms about bit, but no for the stereoscopic 3D + head tracking for presence. motion controls kinda died off because people couldn't figure out what to do with it or just ran out of ideas, so there were only a few games that did things right and a lot of games where they try to shoehorn it in. the 3D and head tracking stuff is far easier to implement due to how 3D graphics are done now anyway, so it fits with a lot more games more easily, including existing ones. The stuff that I thought worked the best was in Oculus's Dreamdeck which is the tech demo that has the "stand on the edge of a really tall building" bit, and the "you're a god overlooking a city" bit. I dunno that any of the slices in that tech demo would make particularly good games had they been spun off, but they do a better job at least of using the format. Granted, this is the early growing pains that you would at least expect a little bit, but you still expect there to be one title that like, really sells it. And that title doesn't exist. That to me is a concern.

Quest For Glory II posted:I mean, I agree with that, but, just looking at the games, it seems like developers don't know what VR is good for, outside of the Wii shovelware style game. The highest budget stuff that I saw in the GB Oculus stream was either a questionable fit for VR or wasn't particularly well implemented. I was surprised that the space sims had issues in VR since that seemed like the slam dunk genre. There was a $50 action game that was third person and used Resident Evil fixed camera (to avoid motion sickness I assume), and I just don't get the third person thing. There are games that are third person and the camera follows the character but also there's head tracking?? That would just give me a headache or at least disorientation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwFOI-xjeM4

Or is there some actual storyline in it besides 'collect 5 bear asses'? It's got a decent (if not generic) and lengthy storyline. A lot of stuff to do. I think there are a fair few Bear rear end Side Quests and optional achievement type stuff. I can't remember for sure, but I think a lot of the time you could stack a few quests and grind them out coming and going and doing story stuff at the same type, which I tend to like. Elements of WoW, Diablo and Elder Scrolls. Combat is fun and fast. Lots of classes, skills and combos, light and arcadey, but satisfying. The progression through the (all designed, no random dungeons) world and story feels a bit MMO like in terms of zones and hubs and level ranges rather than the openess of an Elder Scrolls type game. It's one of the few games of this type I actually finished. One of those games that I always assumed was poorly received because of all the financial/studio bullshit surrounding it, but checking a couple of aggregate review sites (as well as Steam itself) it looks like it reviewed fairly well.

I thought about shooters, and I realized that I prefer comfort and convenience over immersion. The HTC Vive is cool if you have the open space I guess. But I just like to sit in a chair and either play with a controller or with mouse & keyboard. The less my body moves the better, imo. Just let me be lazy please, I'm countin my calories, I'm watchin what I eat, I dont ask for much. give me my sedentary gaming

Havent re-played it, but it is certainyl decent fun and provides a lot of character abilities that make combat interesting. The story is mostly silly, but serves its purpose well enough.

If you ever wanted to listen to podcast while half-falling asleep killing spiders and talking to dwarves though, this is THE game.

Based on the launch titles, adoption is going to lean heavily into third person stuff like action adventure and hell we might even see RTSs come back. All the first person "you're there!" stuff looked laughable, and the staff was all the most positive about the third person like-a-train-set stuff.

A city simulator with the same quality as Cities Skylines, or maybe just that with a fancy new content patch, where your VR avatar has tall-ish buildings coming up to like waist or chest height, would be neat as hell. Especially in like a vive situation where you could physically loom around your city.

Could use a bit of recommendation here: I'm looking for a game to play in a window while half watching/half listening to TV shows. Preferring something that can be played on autopilot without devoting brainpower to what's going on, mostly had success with platformers in this regard: Downwell, Rogue Legacy, Spelunky, Super Panda Adventure and so on.

Downwell is SO good for listening to podcasts and stuff, it's kind of amazing. It doesn't stop being fun but you can also just completely engross yourself in the podcast without making it hard to do well in the game. Binding of Isaac is good for that too
