How's eternity warriors? That triple kill pack looks interesting as sairento seems like a great game to follow up robo recall and superhot (which are amazing). The zombie game doesn't look like much but it's almost free in the pack.

They just need to get the storymode/campaign in and I'm gonna be the happiest boy. No clue on the other 2. If you do pick them up, let us know how ZomDay and Eternity Warriors ends up being. (If my refund comes through before the sale ends I may actually complete my bundle. Ive had zomday on my wishlist for a while now. Hmm..

I've mentioned it a few times but Sairento is very much a must-play game if you want to see just how crazy VR locomotion can be in the right hands. That game has by far the most interesting movement options out of any game I've played so far: You can elect to play with dashing or teleporting, but if you're able to stomach stick-based locomotion then I highly reccomend you use it and ramp the maximum character speed all the way to the top in the options. You can jump like fifty feet into the air, double jump to add onto it and even triple jump with the right runes (this also extends to launching yourself towards the ground in mid-air with your second or third jump), wallrun on pretty much every surface, bounce off walls and raise your arms to backflip which turns your viewpoint upside down so you can blast dudes behind you without rotating your character, you can dash even if you're using free locomotion, physically crouching allows you to slide, and there's a slo-mo button you can press whenever you like, focus bar permitting. There's a ton of weapons to use and outside of your standard pistol/shotgun/rifle options (all of which have multiple versions which handle differently), you also have exotic weapons such as bows, glaives, shurikens, and swords, which you can dual wield in any way you like and you'll get to take several of them into each mission with your loadout slots. All of these weapons, and the armour your character wears, can be enhanced with runes which drop during missions and give percentage increases to weapon stats, with rarer runes even conferring brand new abilities. On top of this, there's a skill tree for your character as you build XP from successful missions. It's a bit wanting in the polish department but the devs are extremely active and there seems to be big additions and patches to the game every other week. I think they've recently added co-op in beta form but even without anyone to play with the game is an absolute blast. I've spent ages hacking dudes up with dual blades or double pistols and blocking and reflecting swarms of bullets in slow motion is incredibly badass. Highly reccomended. I put together a brief video here when they first added backflips if you want some idea how it looks.

Heads up to all VR owners new and old. Stand Out (VR PUBG clone) is giving out free steam keys. Just goto their Discord: https://discordapp.com/invite/BNsmVJj and DM @STAND OUT Keymaker#6572, you will be given a free key for the game! Here's some of the fun things I managed to do in this game: I ran over people with my motorcycle I successfully did drive bys in my ATV I managed to disarm somebody by stealing their gun from their hands and then shooting them in the head I can jump through windows and there's parkour. Locomotion options include arm swinging AND trackpad. Trackpad and arm swinging are basically 1:1 now so you can use either method. Below are some videos featuring our own Saq: https://clips.twitch.tv/RepleteFrigidMacaroniNotLikeThis https://www.twitch.tv/videos/202390806 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzD43vmTKDc See you on the island!

I think a lot of indie devs make the mistake of not understanding that the #1 content in a multiplayer game is the players. Hell, lots of non-indie dev teams have been making this mistake. The bots are a good idea to get SOMETHING going, but the bots are kind of bullshit. Most of the time they run around as clueless idiotic automatons, BUT, if you are near their forward field of view they will aim at you and fire in probably 5-6ms. I can always tell a bot is shooting at me because I'll like pass between two buildings for a split second and take a few shots because they appear to be able to "see" players through buildings. Their accuracy isn't amazing, buuuuuuuut..... Gunplay (gun handling and firing accuracy) is borderline broken in Stand Out right now, I've working with some of devs to try to work out why this is the case. Hitting stuff beyond ~75m or so is near impossible vs in other games its laughably easy. #1 https://clips.twitch.tv/SuperMagnificentDonkeyEleGiggle #2 https://clips.twitch.tv/LuckyAntediluvianTigerFeelsBadMan #3 https://clips.twitch.tv/AntsySpicyVelociraptorRickroll #4 https://clips.twitch.tv/ToughElatedFiddleheadsRickroll

Support was released two weeks ago: http://store.steampowered.com/app/719950/Windows_Mixed_Reality_for_SteamVR/ Seems like it works as well as Oculus on SteamVR, which is to say the headset itself works as expected but the way inputs are mapped by default may not be ideal until the developer adds explicit support. Also games that are designed for roomscale play may make assumptions about your ability to reach behind your back which don't apply to the MSMR platform. That said the general conclusion on the Microsoft headsets overall seems to be to avoid them and just get Oculus unless you have a specific reason to want them (either really wanting internal tracking or developing directly for the MSMR platform)

I have the Samsung and the steamvr home thing kinda runs like poo poo, but it's a known issue. Playing games works well though, although sometimes I need to restart it. I will say that it's already much improved since close beta so I expect it to get better. Haptics and the thumb stick don't work in steamvr, the latter because steam said so. Revive also works. Tracking works pretty good in the right conditions, but it'll be bad or unusable in certain games. I've never used a rift or vive, but the Samsung/wmr experience is for sure no where near as polished. I wanted vr for iracing so I opted for the highest res screen. Rift for $350 if you want it for anything other than seated sims I suppose.

Oddly I consider roomscale the only part of VR that isnt a novelty for me, its the only genuine value add. I dont need VR to play regular computer games, Stardew Valley and Crypt of the Necrodancer play just fine without VR. But GORN and Superhot and H3 and stuff wouldnt work any other way.

In general I prefer monitor games over VR because they're a lot easier to get in and out of, but I'm been hankering for some VR since I sold the Vive. I ended up selling because despite how cool it was, I found it annoying to set up and difficult to get the fit right, and the screen was a little disappointing (though I get that other offerings are not leagues better). I'd like to get into something that's a little more comfortable and easier to fit; the Oculus and Odyssey seem to both fit that bill, and the Odyssey has better screen of the two.

Hey gang, I just got an Oculus as an impulse purchase on Black Friday and am all about this poo poo. I did the 2 sensor 360 setup and it is pretty good - have you all noticed a remarkable difference adding a 3rd sensor? It pretty janky since I have the computer and sensors in weird places in my living room to accommodate the setup so the 3rd sensor might just be worth it to not have it al out in the open in aesthetically unpleasant ways but at least I can be using the optimal 360 room size setup for now even though it looks like poo poo. Do any of you all play Rec Room? I have met some cool people there in the two days I have been playing but also some screaming kids so I’d love to play with goons to avoid the trash, even though there are some good people it is kind of a crap shoot. My name there is blitzstrahl of you see me around. Also I am looking for some recommendations for my daughter. I have bought way too many games to start out but not many that are appropriate for her. Her head is a little to small for the headset so she keeps one hand free to adjust the headset while using the other touch controller in her right hand so games that can be played with one hand without much in the way of elaborate button pushes would be good. Fruit Ninja was the one she tried so far and that went well. She also would like just things where you explore I think.

Took a chance on an EBay magnetized gun stock for my Vive controllers. Played in Pavlov and it really helps with the immersion, it’s a shame lots of games stick with one handed weapons.

Skip passed Rec Room and try Onward, Bullets and More VR and Echo Arena for good multiplayer VR action. Rec Room is.... babbys first VR game. It gets a LOT better than that. Also, for your daughter, Job Simulator. Its a little pricey, and a little basic, but kids LOVE it. There's a little handle in the startup room under the pedastal to turn on 'tiny human mode' that brings the height of everything down. My 5 y/o son loves playing Job Simulator, its a great little playground for kids to experiment and be silly even if you just ignore the objectives and just mess around.

So what's kind of killing games like H3, Serious Sam and so on is the lack of ability to turn without physically turning my whole body. That goddamned cable just makes me super loving leary of turning in complete circles and I'm also terrified of putting a controller through the screen. I really wish I could map a button to just turn (even in Gorn it's pretty weird you can't rotate using the arm motions you use to walk, just with one forward and one going back).

Turn on the steamVR always on floor frame thing. You'll get used to your playspace really quickly that way. Hell I still leave em on because id rather look like a moron with baby training wheels on than throw my fist through a window. You'll also get used to turning around. At some point, you'll just accept that you'll be giving Oculus money for a new cable. At least I have.

So I have a rift that's literally been sitting in my closet for 3 months unopened because I haven't had a chance to play with it, but the steam sale has finally given me a kick to hook it up. I want to get back into Elite (haven't played it since spring on the normal monitor) , but also bought xplane 11, dirt rally and assetto corsa. My system is a 6700k and a 980ti....which I assumed should be plenty powerful but been reading around sounds like a 1080ti is what I should have as a 980ti isn't quite enough for most cranked visuals. Is that the case? I could consider picking up a 1080ti. I would plan on selling the 980ti to partially recoup some of it so its not the end of the world.

Everyone with a Rift set up roomscale and try to play Robo Recall at least once. As dumb as it looks in videos of people flailing around its amazing when you play. Alright last minute Steam hemming and hawing. Rez Infinite vs AudioShield House of the Dying Sun vs Everspace Already bought Gorn and Vanishing Realms. Worth buying Tales of Glory? Virtual Mount and Blade looks amazing but also seems like it might require a stern VR stomach which I don't have yet. Still pondering Sariento or the bundle. Also, SteamVR is pretty glitchy compared to Oculus Home. It has already crashed a number of times and lurches around sometimes. Home runs perfect. Just Valve half assing the boring part of their software or think I have something wrong?

Rez Vs Audioshield(Look up soundboxing too, I like it personally) Totally different games. Ones gonna be a work out, the other isnt. Audioshield/Soundboxing will have longer shelf life IMO. Sairento is win either way. I'm upgrading to the bundle once valve gets my refund sorted out. Ive wanted that dumb zombie game for a little bit now anyways. What kind of hardware? SteamVR isnt as optimized for the rift like home is. My 960 was AMAAAZZZINNNGG with anything oculus only, steamVR just shat on it though. My 1080 is fine and I rarely have steamVR actually crash (And typically its some lovely buggy game taking it down). Now Payday 2 and other non oculus titles might crash but mostly its super beta poo poo doing that. Also install advanced settings and oculus tool tray. Keep an eye on frame drops and things. Might be something tracking related, who knows. EDIT: I liked house of the dying sun. I paid 10 bucks, I didnt refund it. Not sure how much replay if any I'll really get out of it. But it was fun.

House of the Dying Sun and Everspace are both unfun to me, and I love that genre. House is definitely less bad in that the combat looks and feels polished, both they both have issues with directionless pacing. They both feel like permanent early access, I have no idea how they have the super-positive reviews they have. Everspace has more issues though... VR feels very "flat", game has Rogue-lite mechanic where you have to die constantly but the gameplay itself is bad so that just amplifies how bad of a grind it is. House is also $10 right now vs $17 for Everspace. If you have to get one, get House, but keep your finger on the refund button in case you gotta bail out before two hours. edit: Put it this way, I gave up Elite Dangerous like 8 hours in or so when it launched because there was like no content at all, but it held my interest a lot longer than either of those other two, and it's $13.49 right now. edit 2: Also if you want a good dogfight experience, War Thunder is free-to-play and lets you battle in WW2 biplanes and poo poo, I had more fun with that than the three aforementioned spaceship games and didn't spend a dime on it.

Just Valve half assing the boring part of their software or think I have something wrong? I’ve been having a little weirdness with SteamVR home on my new Oculus. Basically, little flashy/twinkly V-shapes (like 3 pixels each) all over the display in the home. It seems to go away in actual games. I did have some insane rainbow flashiness the first time I tried Nvidia VR Funhouse, but it went away when it went to the second scene (and I happened to take the headset off and it was on the monitor version, too) and didn’t come back the next time I opened it. One other app got them when I changed a graphics setting, but went away when I turned it back (maybe the FSAA setting?). I have to dig around the SteamVR settings and see if I can figure out what’s doing it. But I guess the settings aren’t accessible for the headset, so I don’t know what my options are. It’s a new PC so I haven’t gamed on it much, but I haven’t seen anything like that with any non-VR stuff.

Her second favorite thing is tilt brush and she's done some pretty impressive things in it for a 6 year old but I think VR suits kids really well since they just 'do' instead of overthinking 'how' like a few of the adults I've seen play VR.
