I don't mind air or hunger but the thirst timer seemed to be custom-fitted to bug the poo poo out of me. I kept hoping to find a stillsuit pisscycler blueprint right up until I beat the game

At least Microsoft has the new flight simulator, I think the XBSX will be fairly popular with the grognards.

jesus WEP posted:subnautica is amazing but it’s riddled with technical issues mega agreedo but it's definitely worth playing anyway related: why is there a ghost leviathan endlessly hanging around right next to lifepod 5 in my game? That's right where I built my first and largest base and it's annoying. safe shallows my rear end lol spoilerish:

ShadowHawk posted:Is Subnautica something that should be played in VR for the first time? it's cool but performs significantly worse in VR than normal '2d' mode (which is true of everything but really, really pronounced with subnautica- especially since not having a far rendering distance kinda screws up exploration) so yeah, despite it being an option i never use it

ShadowHawk posted:Is Subnautica something that should be played in VR for the first time? no. it wasn't designed for VR and it's clearly a hack and it sucks. if you have room-scale it might be nice to just go into a kelp patch with god mode on and spin around and look at stuff, but you can't play the whole game in vr. just play it in a dark room with headphones

sadly no. i deliberately busted through a bunch of class B airspace and restricted areas while tuned to 121.5 to see if they'd yell at me but nothing happened. i even landed at edwards air force base just by calling them up like any other tower and saying i was inbound to land. though if you don't respond to a radio call they will call back after 30 seconds and say "please acknowledge". maybe they will have interceptions in the release version!!!

installed subnautica after reading the op and the many positive comments in the thread and I really love it so far. about 4 hours in, i’m still discovering quite a few new things every half hour or so and I really want to find out more. the absence of any quantitative completion indicators is a big factor in this. you just discover and build and learn how to do things and it feels like real progress. I feel like a lot of games these days are stuffed with grindy make the number go up minigames (often with the alternative to insert $ in microtransactions to skip them) and while they’re not all bad, I kinda feel cheated out of my time after playing them.

subnautica has a whole lot of tricks that make the survival crafting loop feel more like a game and less like a grind. imo the best thing they did in the whole game though was make combat not a thing at all. imagine how much lamer this game would have been if 2/3 of the upgrades were just “build bigger gun to kill bigger thing gatekeeping new area”. ugh.

for VR hat-havers; FALLOUT4 and SKYRIM are available cheap via GMG right now. Skyrim is the more polished game (and even then it's a hack / shoehorn vr implementation) but I really liked the pistol gunplay in F4, plus they are both still the only true big open world VR games on offer. https://www.greenmangaming.com/games/the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim-vr-pc/ https://www.greenmangaming.com/games/fallout-4-vr/

maybe i'll pick it up again one day :/ i hopped on the last bethesda VR bundle and, after a couple of months having stuff installed/trying for 30 minutes at a time/getting frustrated and wishing I were playing something else, it's kinda not worth it also doom VFR was having issues with the index controllers but maybe that's better now

I think I posted it before, but one of my favourite VR moments was in FO4VR - I was at the Drive-in location where you can build a settlement but you have to clear it out of big ugly molerats first, I plinked a bunch of them from the roof then jumped down to finish off the last couple with my pistol. Now the game didn't ship with proper positional 3D audio but a patch added it, and a good job as well, I heard a loud SKREEK behind me and even as I was turning I put my gun hand behind me and cranked the trigger, finished the 180 turn to have a dead molerat literally slide to a stop at my feet. gently caress I wish I was recording that
