I am considering a quest specifically because the wires thing. I borrowed a PSVR once for like 2 weeks and the hooking up and wires and all that made it basically unusable for me

I got a quest ! It’s really cool! Is beat saber still uncustomizable or did people figure that out? The default songs are not very much my type of music, but it’s still a really cool game. I’ve used plenty of PS VR with friends but this is sooo much better. Standalone and plug and play makes such a difference

Oh cool! Good to know. I know there was some controversy over the capability being patched out but guess they got it back in. I gave the custom songs a look and wow that’s a lot of anime. Some of the Videos I saw seem to suffer from the same issue custom rock band stuff did where yes it’s a cool song but the person mapping it is not a game designer

SirViver posted:Dude, it's Steam. Buy it, try it for less than two hours, refund it if it made you puke. Also a pleasant surprise - The Oculus store lets you refund stuff in a 2 hour window as well. I haven't tried it yet, not sure if it's an almost instant refund like Steam is but given the highly variable quality of VR stuff it made me take a lot more chances Apparently they've started having sales too - I seem to have missed it but I'll wait to see if Christmas has one.

I will definitely try the Link stuff at some point. I was really excited to play lots of stuff on the quest and ya it quickly dawned on me how much of what I thought was on there actually needs a PC. Oh well a reason to revisit steam sales

BabyRyoga posted:A week into Beat Saber, and I am on Expert+ stuff. Really having fun with the game except for one fatal flaw. I haven't started installing Custom stuff yet but I can't stop playing Angel Voices and just slightly bumping up the difficulty each time (Slow mo no fail, then try it legit, then do slo mo no fail on the next difficulty). I'm waiting a bit on custom stuff because from experience as cool as it is to have a huge song selection in a rhythm game, like you've noticed, custom chart creators often do not understand how to make things good. They also generally design for one difficulty and I'm not really able to do Expert yet. Even on Hard though it all feels so cool and professional and you feel like you're properly dancing and my wife actually recorded a video of me and I look so much stupider than I imagined I believe there are settings to turn color override on and off? When you select a song it's on the left with the other modifiers. Stick100 posted:Keep trying USB A -> C and USB C->C cables and your different ports, you'll eventually find a combination that works at some point. Unfortunately they required a cable that can transfer power and USB 3.0 data at the same time. It's pretty rare and requires the heaviest cable I have. I have about 12 cables and only one works. Could have used any cable but then you'd have to stop and charge every once in awhile I really hope they change over to use easier to source cables. Thanks! Man I get why people flock to stuff like the Quest where it's just plug and play instead of "Have a GTX 970+ and try 20 wires and check your FPS and don't throw up" But I really wanna play Half Life VR eventually

I have been super interested in VR for a long time and the Quest is the first time the price/convenience/offer made sense yes. Honestly I borrowed a PSVR and even unhooking and hooking up the drat thing you then have wires running across the entire living room that you are chained to, before having to account for the $400 console you need first (I hope you have a Pro!). Then the actual thing does not work incredibly well, I ended up only really playing games that used the PS4 controller while sitting down because the move controllers are so jittery and weird. The fact that this is standalone makes such, such a big difference. In usability, keeping it hanging around the living room. Being the Switch of VR where you CAN tether it and play more stuff is just another plus.

I finally sat and spent an afternoon getting the quest to run the custom beat saber stuff as well as Steam games through Remote Desktop and all that First of all Beat Saber went from best game on the quest to this might be one of the best games ever made Second of all jeez virtual desktop works well. Like, less than a frame of lag it is ridiculous - I connected my PC to the router with Ethernet which might be helping. I think I’m gonna buy a BUNCH of steam VR games now (I just downloaded Alyx to see if this runs ok)

I tried virtual desktop > ALYX on quest and I think my pc just can’t handle it. Virtual desktop works fantastic and very low latency but Alyx is just jittery and slow. Again though GTX 970 (which is old) but also 8GB RAM (very very old) Worth getting some RAM and seeing if that makes it usable? Edit: actually re reading the last page it’s definitely RAM isn’t it THE AWESOME GHOST fucked around with this message at 17:43 on Jun 9, 2020 |

Aww. I kind of expected that to be honest but a GPU is a much more expensive upgrade than some RAM - at the moment I can’t really justify it.

Your old setup sounds super similar to what I have now yeah - my PC is basically a brand new PC away from being able to reliable handle VR (and probably new gen games) I’m not really bummed about it - I got a Quest to have a quest but thought it would be cool to try how the Virtual Desktop stuff worked, was not expecting it to work as well as it did outside of games.

Origami Dali posted:Imagine making a game where you chop at blocks to the tune of lovely electro pop and a few years later loving Facebook buys you out. What a world. Well yeah because you can mod in all sorts of music, like lovely electro pop with japanese lyrics Honestly if I have learned anything about myself it's that I actually love rhythm games but the music selection is extremely important. Beat Saber went from a good game to one of my favorites when I modded in. Guitar Hero/Rock band I liked from day 1 because they put in the effort to have some good songs and then DLC for more good songs (The Beat Saber DLC is not good)

I just want to get in on the PCVR poo poo so bad and have the best experience. Seems like you guys have throughly landed on quest over rift S though I should probably go that route. Just worried about comfort/getting a lesser experience or whatever. No wires no light house no camera.

Von Linus posted:Ahoyhoy, I just got an oculus quest, and Beat Saber and Superhot VR. Is there anything else crazily worth playing? I did like the Room on my phone whenever it came out. Kind of wondering how long the VR version would last, is it completely different from The Room in terms of puzzles, and also are sales frequent? You need to get one of the.. VR social games? I don't know what to call these. But VR chat, Rec Room, even Poker Stars. It's a pretty surreal experience if you've never done it before sitting and talking with other people in VR (or staying quiet and just watching). I think they're all free too. If you end up liking Beat Saber a lot and wanting something similar take a look at Audica (Another music game) and Pistol Whip (Sort of a music game but also you shoot people in time to the music). I dunno what it is but the immersion of VR makes rhythm type games a much better experience for me

I know this isn't really PC chat but I'm on a GTX 970 with 16 GB Ram, both of which are outdated - but also my CPU is an i5 from 2011. I've been steadily upgrading this PC in pieces but do you ever get to a point where you go gently caress it new PC time because too many pieces are the bottleneck

peter gabriel posted:I tend to do a CPU upgrade every other GPU upgrade, so my old PC was a CPU the same as yours with a 1080ti It does handle stuff ok when it isn't VR! But point taken on the 1080 - I never even considered I don't have to upgrade to the newest series  I honestly don't see the need to upgrade at the moment because really every (not VR) game I play on PC still runs well on my PC. I'm sure it'll change when the new gen of consoles comes out and games start shooting for higher specs on PC because of it. But yeah I will definitely see who is upgrading away from their 1080s later this year and try to pop it in and see what happens

Do they typically patch custom stuff to work on the new version or will I one day lose custom songs forever unless I revert? I'm ok losing temporary access to the custom stuff but I know with like, Vita hacking you could go too far and totally break it

Superhot does benefit from motion a bit though - I played standing in a decent sized space (not like... an empty basement) and was able to reach over and grab things in a cool way. I also saw a video of a guy playing Pistol Whip wirelessly in "Ninja Mode" and he was literally running around slapping enemies and rolling out of the way of bullets. I was going to throw up
