Yeah I think this game came out on a Tuesday Saturday I was supposed to do some work on my boat that involved a bunch of contortionist movements in one of the storage lockers I managed to get in there, caught my breath, got back out, went home and drank beer on the couch for the rest of the weekend because my muscles were jelly from playing TotF Thrill of the Fight is THE killer cardio app for VR

If you like boxing, in games or real life, you will enjoy thrill of the fight.

I played the intro fight and the second fight after that. Then I did the gym things and fought the zombie (no idea how to win that). My arms are destroyed so I haven't played for a while but I'm looking forward to it. Yes it's fun. It's boxing but without the brain damage.

There's a good variety to the fights to. You've got "my temples are stone" guy where you have to find another target, "I'm going to be in your face the whole time" guy, "I'm 3 feet taller than you" guy, and so many more. Definitely a good variety.

I started playing Paper Beast and I had to stop playing because it's too good to burn through it. The WTF surreal factor from the start, the originality of everything, the puzzles so well integrated into the environment that are almost invisible, the nice art style, the physics with sand and water, the sense of living creatures that they got in the titular beasts and how they live in their own small ecosystems, I'm liking everything.

CrazyLittle posted:When do you throw the star punch so you can get the TKO You're probably kidding, but in case anybody reading is curious, TotF has no concept of special punches, stamina bars, etc. The foes have weak points (sides of chin, liver, etc.) where they'll take more damage, and the game calibrates to your strength (more accurately: hand speed) based on the average speed of the punches you throw. It also does a basic check for form, so you can't just waggle your wrists around to score hits. It's neat as hell and very much worth playing. Instabuy especially if you have a Quest and a space where you can move around.

A pair of Paper Beast screenshots I love the clouds, and the azure rock formations in the desert are striking.  This is actually a puzzle, you can't see it clearly here, but there is a very strong wind in the area and you have to help some horses to overcome. Meanwhile, a family of weird beetles is slowly migrating... edit: the inbuilt screenshot capture in Oculus is pretty lovely, compressed jpegs? eww

Mechwarrior 2 had horrific graphics too, but once you're actually piloting your brain is mostly focused on geometry and not crashing into it anyways. It's a sim game.

My tip for that fight is to drink a bunch of Jameson and get real angry. I beat the zombie and 5 upper difficulty fight back to back with that tip.

So I just went to a friend's house today, and he just got a rift S. The display is actually pretty good, but it feels like I'm in an old timey diving helmet. It's crazy getting use to the index then going back to a smaller fov device. I remember the cv1 being really open looking, but going back is so weird.

Captain Apollo posted:Got TotF - soaked in sweat after 15 minutes. drat you pandemic body. If you hit an opponent "hard" in a weak point and they wince, then you've hurt them particularly badly. Their jaw will start to hang slack/eyes will start to roll back if they're particularly hurt. You can see what the game generally considers weak points by using the practice dummy. The chin weak points on the sides require you really hit them in the sides, so either with hooks, or if they Ronda Rousey flail past you and you can throw a straight while standing off to their side.

Everything else is comical now that I'm used to a ~200 degrees FOV which is kind of unfortunate because I feel like the more polished competitors might not reach that for a decade or ever. What the world needs now is some kind of universal wireless VR adapter, not this "proprietary to one model" poo poo.

Yeah, use the practice dummy and check the impact force on the readout to the right There's an option to show a "ghost" of the controller "inside" the gloves. I turned this to about 50%, it had a dramatic effect on my accuracy Also just practice tapping the dots lightly. If you can't make the dots light up 19/20 times in a controlled setting, you're gonna fail swinging wildly at full force. There's some important hand eye coordination you may not have learned on the playground as a nerd that you'll need to level up first Also also, TUCK YOUR ELBOWS IN. They ought to be pointing at your belly button laying flat on your chest. Look at any old vintage boxing toy, that posture isn't an accident. If your elbows are sticking out like chicken wings you're gonna lose all your endurance trying to fight gravity, and wear out your shoulders

I'm getting really into Boneworks but is it me or do the assault rifles and other long guns really suck in it? Since your body is a physical object I need to stretch out my arms basically to the max to even try and aim down both sights properly. I think maybe even the devs might know this since a dude threw me an AR at the start of a level and not ten minutes later I found one with a laser-sight in the trash.

Is an Index worth getting without the controllers? I have a Vive and got in the queue for an Index thinking it wouldn't prompt for payment for the full 8-10 weeks. That's apparently not happening and they're shipping sooner than expected? The controllers are still way out but I've got my base stations and wands sooooo

BoxVR is rebranding itself and getting a graphical update. I think it's a good idea, very possibly people had the idea it was a pure boxing game, and not what it is, a boxing-adjacent exercise program. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bify6K87lOQ -- https://twitter.com/Oculus_Dev/status/1287848849961361409 OpenXR is officially supported by the Oculus Store.

Okay, don't wanna wait for the Quest 2 reveal, I need my VR fix now. What's a good cable to use with the Quest, or what should I be looking for? I'd need around 5 m I think because I have space adjacent to my PC, but I'm a tall being.

Turin Turambar posted:https://twitter.com/Oculus_Dev/status/1287848849961361409 Unfortunately in the small print it requires you to build with Oculus' libraries as well, so you still have to make different versions of your game for Oculus and Steam. More commitment from them to supporting OpenXR is good news for people who are happy to just release on Steam, though.

My buddy just got an Index and it's making me feel the VR bug again.I want to play Alyx, and also the rhythm games like beat saber and audica, and then also stuff like Elite Dangerous and that new Star Wars dogfighting game coming out. I put myself on the waitlist for the index but I'm wondering if maybe I should just grab one of the cheaper headsets instead? I can afford the Index but it also feels like blowing money away on something very silly, where a $400 pricetag seems much more reasonable. Also I have glasses.

Headset, Yeah fine, whatever, its technically the best tech headset atm even if quality control isn't fantastic. But controllers? ehhhh. Totally depends on the user.

I've been following different headset releases for a while now, but a bunch of the specs mean absolutely nothing to me because I haven't had the chance to use one yet. I'm fine with paying extra to have something that will last/be supported/ hold resale value and just deliver a better experience. Pierson posted:easier to set up and use Inacio posted:consider the G2 or the Rift S as well (do some research) Totally forgot about HP being in the VR game. I'm running a 1070 right now, which should be able to handle most VR games as near as I can tell, but is under the recommended specs for the G2. The Rift S also would be able to get here way sooner, which would be cool cause I'm still stuck at home. The Quest looks promising but I really want the good PC VR and the implementation there looks pretty janky. You can use the Rift S for Steam VR stuff right? or does it require working through the oculus store? Like how does navigating your PC/launching games look in either headset? Does any of the Oculus stuff rely on linking to facebook? I have no interest in that. Thanks for the help with this, It's kinda hard to find reviews and stuff that aren't just dorks getting mad or excited about the per eye resolution or whatever.
