Tip posted:Has anyone here played the Quest version of Tetris Effect? One of my friends said that it was very flat and he refunded it. One of the people that said it was amazing was playing the quest version. Its on sale for 31.99 and I have a $10 off coupon. Is it worth a a 20 spot? This talks about the downgrades for the quest version. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzZ1QJcjBuA quote:So how does the jump to the standalone hold up? Well, that’s an explanation told in two parts. First, it seems some of the visual effects that flourished so well elsewhere were sacrificed for the Quest port. You can see it in the comparison video below with things like smoke effects that seem far less detailed on Quest. MarcusSA fucked around with this message at 08:19 on Jul 25, 2020 |

MarcusSA posted:What is up with this VR Tetris game I keep hearing about? Is it really that great? I've heard it from like 4 different people that its like amazing or something. If you like single player Tetris it's the best that game has ever been and easily worth full price. If you don't care for single player Tetris it's not likely to change your mind. It is, fundamentally, just extremely slick and pretty Tetris.

Tetris Effect is trippy as gently caress as basically designed to put you "in the zone" while you play. If you spent the early 2000's sitting in a dark room listening to loud music and watching Winamp visualizations, then you'll appreciate it.

Tetris Effect is excellent. Most of Tetsuya Mizuguchi's later work (Rez, Lumines etc) are attempts at the same sort of thing, using relatively basic, repetitive game mechanics, abstract visuals and EDM to induce a trance state, helped by their synethesia inducing visual, audio and physical feedback. Drugs help. The Quest version is a clear downgrade from the PSVR and PCVR versions, but it's portability means you can go outside and play it while sitting under a tree or on a seat swing. When block clears match up with gusts of wind it feels pretty magical. SCheeseman fucked around with this message at 09:42 on Jul 25, 2020 |

Tetris Effect is probably worth $20, but with the VR tax $30 makes sense. If you don't like tetris, don't buy it. But if you do, it should probably be on your list. It's a nice sit down game. I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was, but it didn't blow my socks off and leave my toes singed.

It's a nice sit down game. Ok thanks I’ll probably get it since I have that $10 off coupon. A little irritated that it’s epic store only though. I’ve read it’s a little weird to get started because of that.

I'd say it's worth 20bux just for the experience of working your way through the first third of the campaign and then getting smacked in the face by Ritual Passion.

MarcusSA posted:Ok thanks I’ll probably get it since I have that $10 off coupon. Tetris Effect is coming to Steam later this year, and then also later this year a new version of it with multiplayer is coming to the Windows Store. All the features from the new version will be free on the other platforms if you own the game, but they won't get the update until next summer. They are really milking that timed exclusivity poo poo.

I don't know if that's the case really, Rez is an on-rails game that was designed to give you rad visuals. It's ALSO a videogame where your worth as a sexual partner and gamer is determined, because the Trance vibrator your girlfriend is sitting on works much better if you're skillfully playing with rhythm instead of mashing the buttons and sweeping the screen like some non-gamer virgin or something forest spirit fucked around with this message at 16:05 on Jul 25, 2020 |

I was annoyed at first, but the pick-up-and-play nature of the Quest offsets that a bit. Also I think anyone who only has access to the Quest ver would be perfectly satisfied

Shine posted:I like that calibration screen the Oculus software had on my old Rift, with the green crosses and instructions on how to make them look clean (by adjusting both the headset position and IPD slider). I wonder why SteamVR doesn't have something similar. "gently caress with this knob until the vertical lines look smooth" is easier for most folks to make use of than "set to your IPD" or whatever. I wanted to ask about this for a while. This does nothing for me. I don't see any difference at all, no matter where the slider is. Yes, the lenses move physically, my slider isn't broken (CV1). Also in game I don't see any difference. Is there something wrong with my headset, my eyes or my brain?

thats a no from me posted:Just tried this, it’s the mech game I always wanted. Does the population get better around peak times? Like the majority of VR multiplayer games, outside of a handful of hits, i think its mostly dead. Though you might want to try checking the official discord for it? I imagine you'd be able to find people scheduling times and stuff there or something.

Right now all I've got are beat saber and Alyx I can't unrecommend war thunder enough I finally got it working where i'm sitting in my chair and looking as if i'm in the tutorial cockpit, and my joystick (logi 3d extreme whatever) is controlling the thing The controls are bouncy as gently caress, and then the thing is like 'press your M key to ssee a map' motherfucker i'm in VR there's no M key here Anyway i uninstalled it, what a pile of crap At this point I'm just waiting for x wing and hoping they play tested the VR mode

War Thunder is a flatscreen game with a slapped-on VR implementation. I find the in-the-cockpit aspect to be fine (especially the framerate, which is rare for flight sims) and I have things like the map bound to a button on my throttle, but yeah, it's not a game that was designed for VR and the interface reflects that.

hhhat posted:should i do the vader game If you like star wars its a fun roughly 2-2.5 hour experience between the 3 chapters. A lot of cool set pieces and locations. If you look at it more as an interactive star wars movie going into it, I think you'll enjoy it more and I think its worth it mostly. The meat of replayability is the dojo mode which there are a few versions and its all pretty fun even as its own stand along lightsaber version of space pirate trainer sort of, so with that on top of the story, i think its worth whats essentially the cost of a movie ticket.
