I think it's more like listening to a podcast, with a visual element that allows you to focus on it visually as needed I think I watched all three seasons of original star trek, first three seasons of next generation, and all seven seasons of the west wing, all while playing minecraft during it's peak in-between jobs a decade ago. But on my second monitor. Talky shows like that have more dialog than action and plays out like a podcast than a michael bay movie.

Captain Hygiene posted:Hi VR thread, maybe you can offer me some advice. I have an Odyssey+ (hey, it was cheap) that I've been exploring the last couple weekends. Last weekend it was all working, then I stupidly followed SteamVR's advice to update my graphics drivers which broke everything, then I refreshed my Windows installation and got things mostly working again over the last few days. Is it just Boneworks? This seems to be a pretty common issue on r/windowsmr. I guess make sure you are on the beta branches of both SteamVR and Windows Mixed Reality for SteamVR.

Inacio posted:125 brl. for comparison, HL:Alyx (which i believe is the most expensive VR game down here) is 99 (and is a proper single player full campaign game). While not for this game specifically in China, some games have miscalculated exchange rates or something and end up being ridiculously overpriced. Maybe the same is happening for you

Just played through Toran. It's a fun little puzzle demo. Took me about 10 minutes and the puzzles were fun (and easy). The game is free and well worth the short amount of your time it takes to play through it.

Crisis VRigade is kind of fun. Extremely frustrating at first but eventually you get a feel for it. It's a blast if you somehow manage to match with one or two other people. ..Mission 3 is still bullshit though, like, right at the very beginning.

AndrewP posted:It's not as good. Way worse framerate, for one. But the bigger sin is that it doesn't let me watch Youtube on a big window above everyone's heads while playing poker. The audio part is the most complicated part of how Quest Link works. They have to install fake virtual audio devices (oculus headphones, oculus microphone) on the PC with their own drivers, and then somehow feed them data taken from the PC or from the Quest and pass them along to the drivers of the virtual devices, making Windows believe it's normal audio of normal audio devices. The idea is that the solution should be universal and the games themselves believe it's just a normal pc speaker or microphone. If they would be trying to only support games on the Oculus store with their own Oculus api, the solution would be less complex. I just finished Lone Echo. I got right something the huge spaceship wasn't really alien although of course I couldn't guess the nature of the real plot twist: time travel. It is a very promising setup for the next game, with our protagonist suddenly thrown 400 years into the future in 'interesting times', in the middle of what it seems to be an interstellar war with an unknown enemy'. If they want, it's a good enough plot to make a quadrilogy of games, or whatever. Coming back to the game itself, I actually found a pair of bugs (I had to use a energy router 3 times to make one of the connected devices properly, and a physics bug in a battery recharged trapped the battery in a inaccessible place), which is a bit disappointing given the number of interactive things in the game is kinda low. Also, in truth the game shows by example how if you are pursuing maximum VR immersion, then the expensive part of video games (photo realistic graphics, super detailed game world, well done animated, captured facial performances, etc) are even more important than in normal 2d games, where it's more 'pretty!' 'ohh!' 'uhh shiny!' effect, while in VR it's really noticeable when an aspect of the game isn't lacking in that regard.

Good grief, I thought Skyrim VR support was bad. I can't even start Elite in VR. I have to run through a bunch of menus with my monitor and mouse before getting to VR anything. Been at it for 20 minutes (including running through their aggravating account linking process) and have yet to be able to send a single command with my vive wands.

As people have commented before, Asgard's Wrath is truly a game-rear end game. But not only in comparison with other VR games, I would say even in comparison with traditional non-VR games. The super tutorialized first hours, the upgrade everything philosophy, all the collectathon and weak side quests, the repeated minigames (hit 5 shields in 30secs!) as challenges, the character armor upgrades that just give you extra health, etc. Also, can anyone say to me if there is a trick to parry the stupid enemies? I feel as if I'm doing something wrong, I only parry 1 in 3 attacks on average. I'm not sure if I'm doing it too early or too late or maybe I have to change the direction of the swing... really not a fan of this arbitrary system as one of the central pillars for the combat.

caldrax posted:I think Chomposaur is referring to the same headphones but that because of their range of motion, when they do extreme movements they change positions so they aren't directly facing the ears. I haven't had this problem, but it sounds like they're loose? I don't know if there's a way to tighten them, I haven't attempted that as mine have been fine. Late response but yeah that's my issue, the most noticeable is ducking under obstacles in Beat Saber, the headphones swing away and I can barely hear the music anymore. Apparently it's something people have found a workaround for so maybe i'll give that a shot: https://www.reddit.com/r/ValveIndex/comments/cf8jpe/simple_mod_ordering_part_required_to_fix_drooping/

caldrax posted:Has anyone gotten past "When the Levee Breaks Part 3" in Walking Dead? In case anyone is suffering like me, I looked up a tip because I got sick of dying here I guess if you wait for the bell, the npcs take off so you're only facing zombies, so it's easier to traverse. I haven't tried it yet but I'm gonna go back in shortly I think. Also Chomposaur: someone pointed out after your post that they have tiny torx screws that you might be able to tighten? Worth a shot. edit: I also realized I was talking about the wrong quest, above, it's the tower and the tomb part 3... I think? Something like that. edit 2: Got it done, waiting for the bell to toll was crucial. Will remember that for any future missions, though on the way out the hordes were thiccc I ended up dual wielding with a shiv I found on site and a knife I'd been carrying, really felt like a badass there for a bit. God, every time I dive into this thing I love it, it's just so much more intense of an experience than playing a game on a normal screen, I'm still in awe. I do want to play some stuff with nice environments though at some point, the dark damp New Orleans atmosphere and the polygonal intensity of Superhot leave something to be desired in that regard. If anyone has any suggestions for games with more pleasant environments, I'd be happy to hear them. caldrax fucked around with this message at 08:40 on Feb 17, 2020 |

Asgard's Wrath is starting to irritate me. Once you finish the main quests of an area, there are still a bunch of sidequests, challenges, etc ok? But when you finish it the area is 'revitalized' which is code word for 'enemies spawn again'. Not only spawn once, but they seem to spawn... forever. So I'm trying to finish some challenges, in some cases going back and forth looking for a puzzle or where to do a miniquest, and enemies appear again and again and again. And this isn't a game where you an dispatch them with a few mouse clicks, this is a VR game so every time is an involved process of swinging, parries, etc. It really is not something adequate for a VR game. Never mind the fact that the combat itself is very one note and you fight the same three enemies.

Tetris Effect will run well on lower spec PCs and will Oculus Link / Virtual Desktop to the Quest just fine. Oculus Link seems ideal since it's a sit-down at your desk kind of game with no locomotion; the wire doesn't get in the way.

20 minutes of the The Room VR game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dc_OpmYvQHo It looks like very ... The Room. So good puzzle game, although on the other hand, it seems a very straightforward adaption to VR, including the fixed teleportation system. I was hoping to have a bit more of freedom in the rooms.

So I don't really mind the 90's digital void that Jet Island fits into. You can also put on your own music to really get into the 90's vibe something like the RAMA soundtrack or Visions of the Past would be good
