I guess the HDMI part of the 3 in 1 cable for my regular VIVe is busted? Getting the HDCP error and the display in the headset flat out will not turn on at all. Tried the HDMI cable that connects the link box to the computer and it works fine. Who knows how this happened. The cable seemed like it was pretty sturdy, and I don't recall ever tripping over it or yanking it or anything. It's still being tracked and if I turn on the HMD display on SteamVR the picture shows up fine on the monitor. One of those "Worked perfectly 12 hours ago, not anymore" things I guess.

Boneworks is fun, finished the story today. Only thing I didn't love about it is the lack of a save system. Also, this is a me problem, but in the heat of the moment I keep trying to holster my weapon and end up just throwing it behind me- not realizing my gun is gone until I reach for it again and whip out an empty hand like a dope. Also wish that when enemies died, their ragdolls stopped colliding with the player's body. Nothing like getting stuck on a fresh corpse trying to get some space between me and the other, living enemies. Kinda wish you could rebind controls too; I'd love to replace the left hand's menu button with the slow motion button. Also, is there not a way to adjust your hand's position on a melee weapon without letting go of it first? I see the gif on the store page showing off that as a feature - did that get removed?

Crisis VRigade is kind of fun. Extremely frustrating at first but eventually you get a feel for it. It's a blast if you somehow manage to match with one or two other people. ..Mission 3 is still bullshit though, like, right at the very beginning.

EbolaIvory posted:This game Crisis VRigade is fun once you get used to it, but man is it brutal one player. With one or two other players and therefore other things for the enemies to shoot at it drops from loving bullshit to actually kind of possible! It's definitely inspired by Time Crisis 1 in that you do NOT get any warning if a bullet is going to hit you.

Otherwise, while you wait is a good time to sit down and recover. I'm actually doing that right now, haha.

Zero VGS posted:Weird, I clicked "Order" to see what the stock would look like and now it just says "Ordered" with no confirmation. Does that I mean have Half-Life Alyx? How can I confirm? It didn't charge me and nothing shows in my purchase history. I'm thinking it works like back when the index controllers were available for reservation. Clicking Order locks in your reservation and once they become available and you officially confirm your order you'll get Alyx then?

Well this sucks. This is me pushing the thumbstick all the way forward. It doesn't register as being tilted all the way forward unless I push really hard.  Conversely, me tilting the same stick down and then letting it return to the neutral position. It thinks I have the stick held tilted downward. Hopefully this doesn't necessarily make Alyx unplayable. I kind of doubt that if I RMA this thing that I'll get it back before the end of the year so I'm gonna just kinda bear it.

Whew, liking Alyx so far. The thumbstick thing doesn't mess it up too horribly since you can do teleporting at the same time. I did go ahead and open a support ticket inquiring about an RMA for the left controller, though. Hopefully I get a response. We'll see!

Turin Turambar posted:I read something about players having to go in turns for attack and defend, which sounded weird as hell. Can you explain how it works? Yeah, absolutely. Here's the tutorial for the knight. So, turn-based is only half right, really. The way it works is that you initiate an attack with a button hold and a gesture. While you're attacking, you and the opponent enter slow-motion, and your blue energy meter drains. You have until you are out of energy to try to inflict damage to the opponent while they try to guard/dodge. You can also decide to pull back by doing another gesture, to save energy. You can charge up energy faster with a button combination, but it makes you more vulnerable to damage, indicated by your health bar partially changing color. At first I thought getting hit after would mean losing all of that health but you just take more damage from hits in general while that part of your health is "used up", so to speak. You can only charge up with what health you have. Upon connecting with the enemy/enemy's weapon, your weapon "breaks" and has to be "reloaded" by moving it behind you, basically acting like you're rearing back for another swing. If you check out the sides of the screen there it does flash subtly to tell you that your weapon has moved enough to become ready again. The Knight's claymore has two segments to offset how slow and heavy it is, so it's not just easily parried by, say, the Duelist's rapier. Also, The monk is basically darth maul and I love it Goodguy3 fucked around with this message at 00:48 on May 11, 2020 |

I can't believe I haven't broken anything playing this yet. My VR legs also developed somewhat quickly for smooth locomotion, but the instant I get into a situation where something is moving me, like a vehicle or an elevator, that really screws me up. I tried to play Thief Sim VR and it worked fine...until I got in the car and had to drive it.

By any chance is there a way to reset the thumbstick angle calibration? my left thumbstick got set at .7 degrees which admittedly isn't much, but since I got a replacement controller I'd like to set it back to 0 degrees if possible.

So out of curiosity is Saints and Sinners going to get pissy at me if I start getting fed up with trying to sneak past these stupid human factions to get at the intel caches and just start shooting back? Seriously, it started out so neat and now it's beginning to just get tedious dealing with the humans. I'm on the second intel cache in the shallows, in the blue mansion, and I'm about to just start shooting explosive arrows at everyone since it seems impossible to properly distract them otherwise

So far on the game festival VR page, https://store.steampowered.com/sale/steamgamefestival?tab=12 My favorite so far has been Traffic Jams. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1301930/Traffic_Jams/ Ragna-Rock is really good too https://store.steampowered.com/app/1345820/Ragnarck/ But Whew man the one song in the demo is five minutes long and the chart is pretty intense even on easy. Still really cool. I wanted to like All Hail the Cook o tron https://store.steampowered.com/app/1361490/All_Hail_The_Cookotron/ but it felt like it was just frustrating to play. I kept dropping stuff, sometimes things don't "stick" to the plate and you get the order "wrong" even though the ingredient was on the plate, dumping fries out of the basket is harder than it needs to be, cutting ingredients sometimes causes the cut part to just go flying, etc. Keeping that one on the wishlist all the same though.

I feel like I just skipped something in Vertigo Remastered, about an hour or so in. I extended the walkway to the surface elevator, got caught by that giant gold robot, and when he dropped me I managed to teleport back to the walkway in mid fall. He then just de-spawned abruptly. Also God drat it I spent so much fuckin' time going in circles in that vent area because I didn't realise I could break that glass with the little shock baton

Only issue with emuvr so far, which might actually be simple to fix, is I can't seem to get games that use both the controller and the zapper to work properly, it seems to be one or the other when it comes to light gun. For example, Konami's Lone Ranger on NES. Most of it is played using the NES controller, but there are several first person segments that use the zapper AND the controller, zapper to shoot and controller to change your faced direction. I tinkered around with it last night and it does seem like the default keyboard controls still work so I can technically play it a little if I scoot up to my desk and clumsily use my keyboard, but my efforts to rebind them to the controller resulted in the light gun not working when I pulled the trigger. Despite this, it is fuckin' buck wild getting to play poo poo like Hogan's Alley again, holy poo poo.

Tom Guycot posted:I don't know about NES, but using a bluetooth gamepad, works just fine with house of the dead 2 on dreamcast, where you need to do the menuing with the controller. I don't know that you can do the motion controllers as the gamepad and the lightgun though, you might need to just use a separate gamepad. I actually figured out a sort of workaround - since the default keyboard controls seem to be hard-coded or something, I just used Joytokey to make it think I was pressing keys when using my controller, that seems to do the trick.

I know this isn't really a fair comparison but I'm a little torn between getting either Into the Radius VR or trying Tales of Glory. On one hand, I like the idea of STALKER in VR, on the other, I also really like the idea of Mount and Blade in VR. I know both games have their jank. I've also tried the demo for Tales of Glory and it...felt kinda unpolished as Hell? But like, another part of me is thinking that the demo must be a very old version of it and maybe the full game is improved? Like these two games can't really be any more different in setting and tone and all that, but I'm curious if either one has any super glaring flaws that might inform a decision here?

Buccaneers is basically Sid Meier's Pirates with a VR mode and it rules. Unfortunately the developers don't have an Index to test with, so the game assumes you're using Touch controllers which caused some issues with hand placement. Fortunately, as you can read in that thread, they very soon added an adjustment option so you can correct it!

explosivo posted:How's Crisis Vrigade (ugh that name) and it's sequel? I just picked up the first one to see if it'll be a fun co-op game, we recently talked about playing actual Time Crisis in VR but this looks better. The first Crisis VRigade was....fine. Pointlessly difficult and frustrating though, and the dev had the very unfortunate "Git Gud" mindset when it came to addressing feedback about it. Was pretty fun when I could match into a 4 play co-op game though. VRigade 2 is a lot better balanced just for the sake of letting you continue on the spot. I'd honestly kinda recommend VRigade 2, they do seem to have taken the first game's criticisms to heart and actually, properly addressed them.

The best way to climb stuff in Boneworks, if I remember right, is to push down so you pull yourself up, then tilt the stick down so you "crouch", then physically lean forward a little so your guy's legs end up on top of what you're trying to climb. This works on ladders, too. Just...try not to fall over. Hasn't happened to me yet, though.

drat Dirty Ape posted:It looks like there was just a large Tales of Glory update released with procedural dungeons and new combat. Can anyone in this thread who owns it give a trip report? I've had it in my wishlist for a while now. Tales of Glory is OK. The combat's no Blade & Sorcery but it works. The concept of VR Mount and Blade is there but it's very vanilla and a bit more structured; you kind of have a goal of sorts, I think!? Not much is very well communicated to you. The game's writing is fairly juvenile, with "funny" discord quotes on loading screens. During some of the single-missions you can get, like sneaking through a camp or something, some anachronistic voice clips that I'm sure the dev finds utterly hysterical play (Such as a California stoner dude sounding voice saying "Wait, wait, wait.....there's GOOD cholesterol??" Every, five, seconds...), so if stuff like that turns you off, it might be a pass. I don't think it's bad or anything, but there are some rough spots, for sure.

Have a look at this, guys. I have no idea when or how this happened, but the trigger on my right Index controller seems to have broken "loose" or cracked or something? Whatever happened, the trigger sometimes gets stuck when I pull it.  Is this normal wear and tear? I HAVE had these things for a couple years, now...Guess I've been holding it too tight or something. After all,  the...panel? thing? on the back of both controllers has ended up coming sort of loose and I've been having to apply electrical tape to make sure it doesn't loosen more...
