I fought with the dead forums to let you all know Beat Saber is great.

Beat Saber needs an inbetween for hard and expert. Something between "waiting a few seconds between beats" and "break your wrist so you can turn it to 3 different angles in half a second"

Alright I ended up saying gently caress it and put the expenses on a credit card (those are loans you can take your time paying, right?) and got a usb-c to usb-a and a copy of VR desktop


This poo poo is crazy I wasn't ready for this :catdrugs: Now I can finally stand while using my desktop lay down on my bed while using my desktop

King Spray is getting a Quest release here on Thursday

Not sure why, but super stoked for this title. Probably because I grew up in repressive boring suburbia. It's a spraypaint graffiti simulator.

Been playing Skyrim VR and man this stuff is crazy. VR is a loving trip guys. Had some vr sickness at the start but it seems changing the controls so that my character turns with my headset really helped.

I escaped Helgen and went to try out the swimming mechanics in the river. While heading into the river I hear wolves howling in the distance, and its dark as gently caress. As I step back onto the shore I hear them, extremely close and I start freaking the gently caress out and blasting fire into the bushes.

11/10 I don't know why people are so critical about skyrim vr, shits wack.

I guess I'll give it another go. Is there a nice bundled package of model, shader and texture mods to make it prettier?

Frustratingly, there isn't. All my searches for looking up skyrim mods gives me links to blogs where they have like 40 different mods. I've been slowly picking and testing some different graphical mods, its tricky to see what will work in vr and what wont.


And of course, what will make my 1070 explode :shepface:

Right now I got SMIM, Vivid Weathers, Realistic Water Two and Skyrim Flora Overhaul. Trying to find something that makes the flora not hilariously 2d cutouts. I guess that how it was in OG Skyrim as well? It just was never really noticeable cause you aren't right up in there like in VR.

E: Also I can't use bows worth *poo poo*

I tried using the 3d flora mod cause the 2d plants was reeeeally messing with my precious immersion, but it was stuttering my game really badly so I removed it. Then I had a bunch of purple plants and bushes. I tried everything, reinstalling the other flora mods I had to try and get their texture in, verifying game integrity, nothing worked. So now I gotta do a complete uninstall and reinstall. The real Skyrim starts here.

I could not confront my fears and ended up quitting out of Skyrim when the big spider showed up. I like to think I've gotten far better at handling my arachnophobia, but there is a large difference between not freaking the gently caress out when I see a spider on a wall the other side of the room and a spider bigger then a shack leaping at my face.


Playing with VRIK is a trip. Besides making my shadow do the YMCA cause I'm a mature adult, being able to use my bow, then put it over my shoulder and let out a few blasts of fire before reaching behind my side and pulling out my sword is amazing. This is it, this is the future of video games. Time to invest in an omnidirectional treadmill.

I think its the bad animation that makes it worse for me. Probably why I wasn't hype on claymation either.

Breaking into houses and sneaking around in Skyrim VR is a trip. Its so intense cause for the most part the sneak indicator is out of view, unless you look up at it. Also no third person camera to cheese and peek around corners, you gotta physically lean over to peek. Also easier to notice stuff mixed in with clutter, or just slightly out of sight on the lower shelf in the back corner. And if people are also in the building? Its intense, having to physically turn around to see if that door sound you just heard was someone walking into the room you're in.

Thief VR when?

If you use custom music in Beat Saber, do the beats actually reflect the beats in the song or does it use another song's beats for the cubes?

Then again, there's still the question how much of a game HL:A will be, anyway, in terms of hours of gameplay. Or gameplay itself for that matter.

10 minute firefights, 30 minutes wandering the scene trying to figure out what physics object you're supposed to interact with.

It really helped with my motion sickness when I changed settings to where I would look would turn my character, instead of being able to free look while using the joystick to move. Physically turning to change direction really eased up the feeling for me.

Yeah the steam thread was where I was told I deserve to get my head cut off cause I'm apparently a 1%er for saving up 400 bucks to buy a video game console. Wish I could tap into my 1% income and get out of this ghetto and my crappy retail job. Why mods seem to be cool with that when "kill urself" posts often earn a probation, I dunno.

I don't understand the perception of the exclusivity of VR gaming, when there are definitely people in any given Games thread who have G-sync monitors that are as or more expensive than the midrange VR headsets.

VR isn't all that expensive unless you make it so. Many goons have a VR-spec PC, and a Rift S costs about as much as a Switch. Just because you can drop two grand on an Index and 2080ti doesn't mean you have to.

Cause you need an i7 CPU and 2080 ti to maybe play beat saber, on top of having a 50x50 foot playroom you bourgeois gently caress

Espire is great cause outside of my room you hear me say "Freeze!", then a loud banging as I manage to punch a half empty monster can (thankfully closed) off my nightstand, and shout "gently caress!". Which scared everyone else in the household.
