big fov, less lag, teleportation not motion, and a vibrating dildo or other vibrating thing next to your inner ears, those are the things that help motion sickness

teleportation works as vr movement but isn't really a thing in most 3d games on a 2d screen. and i'd rather not play than have anything vibrating on my head

i'm immensely amused about the thought of certain elements of the gaming community strapping ali express vibrators to their heads with sweatbands to combat motion sickness

not casting aspersions at anyone here, but the thought of the kind of person who yells homophobic slurs doing it while they have vibrating dongs on both sides of their head is pretty great

i don't get motion sickness from vr but it does make my eyes hurt after a bit

i think i need a really minor eye prescription that's just different enough to gently caress my vision up in vr

yeah i was worried about getting sick in vr but it's been great. you might need an rx or also it's a lot of light right next to your eyeballs for an extended period; can sometimes make anyone hurt after a while.

my experience is that dualshocks involve janitoring, but that was with a knock off ps3 model, not sure about the current ones

the model 1708 xbone controller is very good and uses regular bluetooth or can be plugged in with a usb cable. it's officially supported by ms and on win 10 at least just works

360 controllers are still a viable option, but ms broke compatibility with knock off wireless receivers, and official ones were stupidly expensive the last time i looked. you can get the knock offs working, but it's a pain in the hoop

you'll see a lot of 'partial controller support' on steam, but that just means that not 100% of everything can be done with the controller. if it's a console port it'll be fine for gameplay, but you might need to use the mouse for graphics settings or such

try increasing the field of view. a number of years ago i noticed fps games were starting to make me sick and i thought i was getting old. but it turned out to be that console fps games are hugely zoomed in, with like a 60 degree field of view, because otherwise you couldn't see poo poo from across the room, and that default fov was getting ported directly to the pc version. boost it to about 100 degrees (on a 16:9 monitor) and my brain goes ahhhhhh and i can play for hours once again.


just triggers on/off at 50% travel iirc.

FOV and Headbob are two ones. I usually up the FOV in almost every game I can just because I feel claustophobic if I don't and that's unpleasant, but not Motion Sickness inducing

Weirdly though just every once in awhil ehteres a game or two that just absolutely demolish me. for example, Talos Principal gave me horrendous motion sickness, even with tweaking the fov. I ended up having to play in 3rd person and doing some other changes but I have absolutely no idea why that one particularly game did it. There's also been a few others here and there that's like UGH WHATS GOING ON HERE, but sometimes I can manage it with FOV+Headbob or maybe Windowed Mode changes

the new PlayStation controllers are awesome. the haptics simulate different materials so you feel the difference from dying to a giant hammer swing or dying from a fireball. the triggers have dynamically changeable resistance.

I expect these features will be used in no more than a handful of first party games.
yeah, the demo stuff in astro's playground is very cool, but i have little belief the features will get picked up. i guess it's neat to feel miles shotting webs but it's not like a big thing

pretty much goes for every NEXT GEN LAUNCH hype feature. lol remember 6-axis poo poo? kinetic? whatever

sadly the fact is it will probably never work on the PC. DS4 button faces and stuff are barely supported as it is, and nothing even uses 6-axis poo poo either. There's also the fact it may have to be included within a game's design framework pretty early on and not just as simply as flipping a switch so it'll take game dev time, so with multi-console launches like having to support XboX X Series S e X gimped version and all that fun stuff, it probably won't be used in many, if any, multi-plat games.

nms had this problem, for me, and yep 100 fob fixed it and made the game seem less claustrophobic

which was weird considering its a procedural space and planet game

they tighten the fov specifically in the derelict freighter missions though to fit in the confined space which i both hate and respect because it adds to the creepy factor

You used to have to do some janitoring with DS4windows (which had a memory leak from ads that'd crash your system after awhile lol).

Steam supports DS4 controllers now, but some games will still use the Xbox button prompts.

i use a ps4 controller and assassination creed it knows what’s up and it just works

I would love more peripheral vision with it, and even with the average peripheral vision, you kinda have to face something to look at it rather than just move ya eyes around. maybe that can’t be solved idk

I just found the Sphinx in AssCreed Odyssey and one of the riddles she posed me was Gollum's nearly-successful gambit :o:

This thing all things devour: birds, beasts, trees, flowers; gnaws iron, bites steel; grinds hard stones to meal; slays kings, ruins towns; and beats high mountains down.

I'm nearly a hundred hours into AssCreed:Odyssey and its a fantastic ancient greece simulator, I'm enjoying the gameplay loop but I think the sheer effort that's gone into the world here (even more so than Egypt in Origins) is what really impresses me.

Currently on sale https://www.greenmangaming.com/games/assassins-creed-odyssey-gold-pc on a deep discount (and the standard edition without the extra story dlc is a few quid cheaper even), the cash-per-hour outlay is some good value for money.

that also ignores the plenty of black people making comments that don’t say anything about the reviewers blackness except to say that he’s not the final arbiter over whether they thought it was an appropriate way to review the game. reactions were pretty clearly six of one half dozen of another in that community.

with that said the gamespot editor is probably right about the original comment but I don’t consider any opinion I have about the review or responses relevant bc I’m not a poc.

It's very good. I only wish the games had been made in the other order so that egypt had had a slighty better engine and attention to detail. some places in the desert in origins are good.. and the fact you can see the pyramids from almost anywhere on the map? and the variety of terrain? and bayek? and bayeks hot as gently caress wife?

viking simulator that I am playing now is more different from the last two than the last two were from each other. I've been playing for almost ten hours or maybe more and I am still using the same equipement I got in the first hour. so far it's feeling kinda grindy, basically have to raid enemy bases to get building materials to build my own home town, because there ain't just horses everywhere and I don't have a horse yet and only just got a blacksmith.

just want more progress and may burn out who'll find out
