I'm gonna rush in with the first nuclear take of the thread.

B&S is a pretty good physics toy but a terrible game. Play Until You Fall instead.

Here's my Steam sale VR adventures summary (too late to be useful to anyone but oh well):

Moss is loving precious and let's me pet a mousie.

Serious Sam Last Hope is a big pile of meh.

Serious Sam VR Trilogy is loving great in VR though.

PAYDAY 2 is also amazing in VR.

How far into Last Hope are you? The first world is by far the worst one. Gets better on harder difficulty levels too once you actually need to use some weapon selection strategy and powerups

I got through the third level. It's not bad but it's just a shooting gallery. I had more fun with the original trilogy since you have to dodge enemies and you get to explore the levels and poo poo.

Yeah that is easy except in the history of all games on any system no one has done it yet.

Why buy the dlc if you only play multiplayer with friends and one of them owns it. It’s better (monetarily) to take the call of duty route and fragment your player base on DLC and make them pay to play. It’s lovely, absolutely, but also it forces players into DLC purchases

There are a bunch of games that do that, not even just Paradox games. I think even Nintendo does that iirc? So it's not even a PC-specific thing to do that.

Music in Pistol Whip fits extremely well with what you're actually doing in the game.
I wonder what that genre is called though.

I started getting way WAY more red numbers in Pistol Whip once I turned on beat haptics and started tapping my foot to the beat throughout the whole song.

Do shots missed and hits taken really not matter when it comes to Pistol Whip's score or was that scoring article just not thorough enough?

Stormlands is great and I mostly only have nitpicks when it comes to criticizing it.
My biggest issue with it is that I wish enemies had projectile weapons instead of hitscan. Less loving non-stop tutorializing and attempting to drag you by the nose would be nice as well. Fortunately the game doesn't actually lock you into linear sections and you can do whatever you feel line but it does constantly bring up the quest log and have NPCs yell into your ear that you should go do the thing they want you to do.

Having so many different locomotion systems at your disposal at once is real loving nice though. Being able to switch between cloud surfing, running, jumping, climbing and gliding on a whim feels great.

EDIT: Oh and the performance could've been better. I got a GTX 2060 with a Ryzen 5 2600, which can run almost anything at max settings, but I can't seem to get stable 90 fps in Stormlands no matter what I do. It keeps jumping between 90 and 45 even on Medium settings, as far as I can tell. That's almost No Man's Sky level of performance.

Incidentally, is there a way to stop VR games from limiting the framerate to 45 as soon as you go slightly under 90 fps or is that something they just have to do?

Does H3VR have a VSS Vintorez or it's variants? I'm guessing no, but if it does then I'd have to buy the game.

It does actually! Not the Vintorez specifically, but there's a similar suppressed assault rifle that I believe is from the same manufacturer.

I'm guessing it's an AS Val then, the modernized version.
I'll have to get the game then.

Stormland is one of my favorite games but holy poo poo, I wish it would stop opening the quest log. Forever.
I can't remember a single time I actually wanted to see the quest log but I can remember a lot of times when they opened it up in the middle of loving combat, completely obscuring my vision.

On the other hand I think the campaign sucks because why does it have levels that actively require you to play bad?

Moss, Chronos, Lucky's Tale (I think you can still grab it for free?), Edge of Nowhere, are all really fun traditional 3rd person action/adventure games.

Moss relies on VR controls though.

I turned off ASW and it improved my Stormland experience dramatically, because now the game stays at around 80-90 fps instead of constantly jumping between 45 and 90.
