I'm slowly easing my way into a new Fallout 4 VR run, with Sim Settlements and an infini-companions mod so I can recruit settlers as disposable allies. The approach is a more or less a normal game, but as a burgeoning civilization builder / warlord who recruits posses of followers to fight and die in order to win my battle. It already feels like a more interesting and fitting narrative than the traditional, lone mecha-god play style. I get that in every video game the main protagonist upends hundreds of lives by dint of being inexplicably better than everyone, but if I woke up in a post apocolyptic hellscape, I'd be insulating myself with allies and followers first, then buggy 200 year old spine breakers second. And the former has much more lore-friendly mechanisms for dashing the plans of every major faction on the board.

Playing a VR shooty game sort of betrays a fundamental lie of the genre- in VR it's obvious that you should absolutely not be able to win a gun fight against one trained gunman, and fighting alone against multiple people of any skill level is even more preposterous. Either you need to be able to get shot in the face a bunch, or you need to somehow know where everybody is and what they're doing while you cower behind boxes. Otherwise, you can't have human level perception and human level weaknesses to bullets and still win these sorts of fights.

must... not... post... about... cops.... in... james.... thread... Anyone know a good, but cheap, gaming monitor? I'm eating input lag in the 20-60ms range due to old, low refresh rate monitors and it bothers me. The only things that matter to me are low input lag and high refresh rate. Colors and 4k can take a walk.

Spelunky 2 is going to take me, no joke, 100 hours to fully beat. It's like a cellular automata machine that spits out platforming challenges and new ways to die on spike traps.

I just trolled around steam's store until I bought one game, tried to buy another game I already own, and then played titanfall 2 for 3 hours. God drat steam is good at what they do.

Be careful what you wish for in FO4 - vertibird travel is not immune to the raider guy in SE boston carrying a fat man. Yeah that more or less ended my survival save game with how far it set me back.

haveblue posted:I think I stopped because every expansion just made the game harder and more annoying so yeah that would explain it There was a distinct point where the creators decided that the game should be scaled in difficulty for the 40hr/week BoI streamers. It really made the game less fun to play.

I just picked up Star Shelter for VR and despite being buggy abandonware, it's actually a really engaging experience. It's a survival game set in space, where you're scavenging space junk to fix up your spaceship. Some games in VR just really work.

Any steam recommendations for an old who never liked video games, is probably going to be playing games from a lazy boy chair, and is likely to be using a usb keyboard/trackpad? I need a bunch of time kill activities for my dad, and he asked for games since the news has been so painful to watch lately lol.

For instance, this is a tier 1 support person between a rock (their boss / the dev team giving them zilch backup here) and a hard place (angry customers) winging it. Like, who would followed any of this mess and decide this company is a safe harbor for their emotional energy.

TOOT BOOT posted:I was hoping Cyberpunk would eventually get fixed and I'd buy it in a year or two but people don't seem optimistic that will happen The problem is that it's not broken in enough meaningful ways that it makes a difference. Unless, of course, you're doing a try hard no-kills silent assassin run out the gate, in which case the engine just isn't that reliable. Use quicksaves and it's fine.

I'm going to do my damndest to get a couple of 3060's next week. I want 2x for some machine learning bullshit I'm working on (and ofc I want one for games), and all I have to do is beat the odds. Twice. That's the kind of game I like to play.

Doom 2016 was novel enough to make a dying, over represented genre feel new again. It was a really good balance of big budget and unique ideas that made the game feel like a single, coherent idea being played out. Eternal was good fun, but it had a bit too much of everything to maintain that coherence. Real Turok vs Turok 2: Seeds of Evil problem. Turok is the game you'd go back to play, even if it doesn't have the cerebral bore.

The biggest misstep of cyberpunk 2077 is that it wasn't made by the eidos montreal team. That and no flying cars, did these guys even watch blade runner?

And yet entirely identical to cyberpunk 2077's annoying menu/unskippable cutscenes/loading screen issues. Does the witcher go into a nude T-pose sometimes when he's on horseback?
