Lmao, remember VR?Retards actually blew thousands on that shit
You keep reminding me everyday.
all i spent on vr was like, 250€~ for a quest 2, which was honestly a pretty fun toy for a while
It's gonna make a comeback The frame will be convenience and comfort focused which is genuinely its biggest issue
>>744647403True, but like where are the games?>oh you can play a Halo 1 mod in VR but it's actually inferior to just playing it on flatscreenDoesn't sound fun.
>>744647310VR is fine except valve are retards and their stupid thing will flop
Can Valve make Alyx playable without VR now that it's dead?
>>7446473106 years later, I still blow my load in it regularly
>>744647524If you're not a weeb loser or an agp troon, why should you get VR?
I paid 480€ (tax, tip, shipping included) for my Quest 3 and I have used it weekly for 2 years. It actually has the most play time of my gaming systems now. VR fucking awesome. I haven't even touched PCVR yet because there is so much standalone games.
>>744647549simulatorsFPS games
>>744647549flight/space simulators and racing games
>>744647403VRs biggest issue is that the expected price reductions never came after hardware crisis after hardware crisis
>>744647549Mods, they are getting better, and there's plenty in the work now.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOiEnuN1Kxk&t=206shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hU8s3nF-LEThere are a few ok games here and there as well.
>>744647310Lmao, actually playing it every day.
>>744647310I don't remember the last time a good flat game was released
>>744647373Same, but I still use it for Paradiddle. Paradiddle alone makes the Quest 2/3 basically worth it, against an actual drumkit if you are interested in learning drums. >>744647619My main problem with VR FPS is I just can't get the aiming down due to the slightest misalignment in the way you hold your controllers makes shooting in games like Pavlov basically go nowhere near where you intend to shoot. >>744647549Genuinely, Paradiddle and Pianovision. Probably the two single best and most intuitive ways you can learn an instrument. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fm8rrvV5BJIhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hScacmPAekAlso Bigscreen is worth it just for watching movies in a giant cinema in bed, sad most the public rooms are just pedos trying to entrap children with "i'm 12 yo looking for bf" rooms instead of kino fans.
>>744647310Mine was $300, I still have it. It's great for watching movies.
>>744647473>Alyx playable without VRwhy, flat gaming isn't playable at all unless it's some sweaty esport
>>744647473Alyx is ass without VR. Not because the game was super "VR only" but because it's a weak game. If you don't have the real world scale art, if you don't have the high quality VR weapon handling, the game just sucks.
>>744647340This, OP either has buyers remorse or is trying to get somebody to convince him to buy it. Nobody here has a fucking headset.
>>744648721playing alyx AFTER playing HL2VR was a big mistake. really made alyx feel like it had training wheels on.and perfect dark VR is making lots of other games feel like they have the training wheels on.
>>744648830kek I had the same experience with alyx after hl2vri just roll my eyes now when people mention it because i don't want to trash it but like uuuuuuugh
>2020+6>sunk cost fags will still claim it's a valid product they still use constantly Lmaoing
>>744648984My takeaway as a disillusioned VRfag>Hardware could finally be "good enough" with better lenses, weight distribution, and wireless PC streaming. In other words the Steam Frame.>The only good games are from 2019 and prior, everything that came after that was influenced by the Quest was largely dogshitIt's potential man.
>>744647310you are too poor to afford it so got mad about it. hahahaha
after playing VR games for the past year I tried to play flatscreen this week, holy fuck its like I'm gaming in the 1980s its so much of a step back in immersion
>>744648984>>744649118Vr is actually good now the problem is that the entry price isn't even the headset. It's the fucking hardware. A quest3 or psvr2 is enough because the games you could run on an 8k headset look like shit anyway and the ones you want to play in vr are the flat2vr titles which can't even Max out the 2 most common cheap headsets.8k headset probably needs dual 5090s to run well.But it finally is a valid product. If you have a high end gaming pc in the worst hardware economy since the 90s
>>744647310Was on its way until Zuckerberg devoured the most promising one
>>744647524are you gonna sauce a brother up?
>>744647549Muh immersionBut really, if you find that one game that really reels you in and gets you "into" it there really isn't anything else like it.
>>744647310a PSVR2 cost $300 on sale. cheaper than a good monitor yet 100x better for gaming.
>>744648729>Nobody here has a fucking headset.u wot m8?>>744649536https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/82208769
>>744647403The biggest issue is that early 2010s were used to shill Windows 10 and once lenses and screens became better the market shifted to standalone.It's like if large flat panel TVs had only had HDMI inputs while they were still ass, only for the later good flat panel TVs to be exclusively smart TVs that could only play content over an internet connection, we'd still be using CRTs.There is some Linux support now with standalone, but it's effectively airgapped, and while there are still wired chinksets, they are mostly Windows only or have other caveats.>>744647672>Price reductions Headsets are cheap unless you have an actual child's budget.>>744649506Yep, Faceberg is the worst.>Did not deliver the promised Linux drivers>Got into a fight with Valve, so everyone came up with their own patented, proprietary standards>Got on the Shartphone hypetrain and encouraged more walled gardens>Standardized wireless streaming using integrated Android ARM computers for ads and data harvesting>Normalized shit headstraps by not delivering functional headstraps after the first few headsets>Gobbled up resources and investors only to use them at single digit efficiency if that>Effectively ran an anti-marketing campaign in the form of Horizon and the Meta shit
>>744650501>Headsets are cheap unless you have an actual child's budget.Quest 3S is cheaper option than fucking Nintendo these days. Only chinkhelds are cheaper but no kid is going to play uncslop without a gamer dad who forces them to do so.
>>744649632amazing deal, getting one on a good discount. the pc adaptor and a comfort kit don't cost too much. regret the little controller charging stand i got, it SUCKS
>>744647310I bought a used Quest 2 for €120. Totally worth it, even just for Walkabout Minigolf and Thrill Of The Fight boxing.
>>744651364borrowing a quest 2 is what convinced me to get my own VR. faceberg shit aside, it's a very impressive device IMO
When are popular milsim games gonna have VR optionally?
>>744651928really wanting Nuclear Option to get proper VR support
>>744651049How do you find the controller tracking on the pc? Any software issues?>>744647950You need a VR gunstock to play shooting games well.
>>744652025controller movement with the adaptor is not a smooth as other options, and a handful of issues with games that were meant for more mainstream PC headsets have given me grief, but easily i'm able to play damn near whatever and enjoy it so the small bumps along the way don't bother me too much.i just wish i had more space in my room to move about
The technology is good. I remember putting on the Vive for the first time and seeing just the SteamVR calibration game and being blown away. The problem is that 10 years later, and there are STILL just no games. Half Life Alyx is the only good VR game.
>>744651364I use to be a gym rat and I'll have to say TotF2 is probably one of the best work outs you'll ever do. 2 months of that game and I was shredded.
>>744647549>He doesn't know there isn't a single weeb friendly game on vr thanks to meta.>He doesn't know skyrim and fallout 4 vr are the kiniest of the nono's. Especially with the treadmill. The Hud removable in f4 is the ultimate experience. Skyrim even more ultimate if your pc can handle decent llm's >>744650871You be surprised how much people use chinkhelds for live service games. At least acutal chinks.
>>744651049>charging standThe fucking connectors break all the time....
>>744652662all sorts of old games have VR mods now, including Metroid Prime, Halo, Perfect Dark and Morrowind.Plus you can play light gun games in EmuVR (Crisis Brigade 2 mogs every light gun game ever made though)
>>744647310Brand new Pico 4 cost me 150 EUR 2 yars agoGives you 85% of the experience of any other VR for 15% the price
>>744649435Quest 3 and PSVR2 are there spec wise, but comfort wise leads a lot of people to ragequit.
>>744656784does it work well for PCVR games?
>>744652698can sweat ruin the headset?
>>744647524Don't call Grim Aloe "it", that's not nice.
>>744648984I do use it regularly thoughever.
>>744660790I mean, if it's badly made like the 2016 OG Vive.
>>744660790my Quest 2 came with a washable silicone cover for the padding
>>744647672VR headsets became cheaper aside from standalones. PSVR1 and PSVR2 proved that even with relatively cheap rendering hardware and relatively cheap headset hardware people just aren't interested in the discomfort and prepwork VR gaming involves.
>>744660882I was referring to VR, if the "blowing on" pun wasn't obvious
>>744653319>30 minutes before you barf your guts out because free analog movementcool
>>744661510Works on my vestibular system.
Quick, what's your top 3 VR games? For me it's:>Beat Saber>HL2>RE4 classic
>>744662448>Forefront>Deadpool>Beat Saber
>>744662448Beat SaberVRchatBlade and SorceryPepperoni PizzaVanilla ice creamWaterHonda Civic
>>744662518>>ForefrontHow's the player population on that?
>>744647373>>744647552Were they always that expnsive? My mommy bought my sister and I one each, she told me it cost her $400 for one.
>>744662448Walkabout MinigolfSuperhotThrill of the Fight
>>744651978I wish vtol vr had the update speed of noption
>>744663895At least on EU hours there are multiple fullish servers every evening. It's still on Quest store top sellers list so I think new players come all the time.
>>744662448>Beat Saber>Blade and Sorcery>Koikatsu VR
>>744663895Take the steam charts number and 10x it since it has crossplay with questies
>>744660379psvr2 really needs a comfort kit to not hurt the back of your head.the default cushion is like a tiny layer of foam over a plastic milk crate
>>744662448HL2Blade and SorceryContractors Vr (when i can get a decent halo or star wars lobby)i think perfect dark VR will eventually get up there, though
>>744647672Well, VR's two biggest problems are:>it's a peripheral that, unless you're going for Zuck's VR hell, costs as much as a fucking console (not to mention the peripherals for your peripheral, that are equally as expensive)>there is a significant lack of GOOD variety in VR games, the best ones are either old as shit or mods for existing games (which usually makes them a pain to play)Not to mention that advancement in VR has been happening at a snail's pace. Its been over a decade now, and it still feels like the biggest achievement they've ever made was making it wireless.
>>744647672That's only a problem if you're making a standalone headset, which is generally a shit idea because how many people can you think of can actually manage a console ecosystem? "Dumb" PC headsets are still cheap to make, it's just the market is not only smaller but have high standards.
>>744667535>"Dumb" PC headsets are still cheap to make, it's just the market is not only smaller but have high standards.Tethered VR headsets still make up the cutting edge class of headsets. You aren't running lossless high resolutions and framerates through wireless communication. It all comes down to what content you plan on using your glasses for. Simfags use "dumb" headsets while freaks use the standalones. Freaks I mean those that use their headsets for VRC and porn as I doubt an audience that could be classified as "casuals" really exists for VR anymore.
>>744667929>as I doubt an audience that could be classified as "casuals" really exists for VR anymore.Yep. Closest thing is the Gorilla Tag kids and even those are quite dedicated.
just how good is the quest 3 for pure PCVR? i will never be able to get slimeVR stuff or full body tracking. also the steam frame wont be shipped here since valve cant even mass produce their controllers. i only managed to get an deck at a solid price because valve had fuckton of them to the point they were selling them in bulk to retailers.
>>744670037If you're getting a Quest 3, do not get the Quest 3S which shares the same lens stack as the Quest 2 (torture device). It performs about as well as the Pico 4 and Pico 4 Ultra, which can be found for about the same price if not cheaper."almost good enough", it's wireless but you will notice compression, especially in some games like Skyrim VR with a lot of moving foliage.
Got a PSVR2 on sale and after playing HITMAN WOA I can assuredly say that not only is OP a brownoid but also a faggot lol it’s fun as hell
>>744670172i know about the 3s. also the quest 3 is like 2300 in local currency while the pico is almost double the price for most models, the top tier is the pico 4 ultra enterprise edition which comes with body trackers, which is 4600 and is too much for my taste. while the cheapest is the pico g3 at 2500. maybe in the far future i would invest into slimeVR if i wanna bother with overseas shipping.
>>744670463You chose well.
>>744670527Ah, that's tragic. Pico 4 used to go for as low as $350 new like 2 years ago.
>>744670527>pico 4 ultra enterprise editionBody tracking but no eyetracking. Grim.
>>744648830>>744648967FUCK FUCK FUCK, why??? I was saving alyx because everyone was sucking it like the best VR experience bar noneI already played HL2VR, fuck
>>744672661alyx is baby's first VR, play Quake and Doom ports
>>744672661I mean, people are sucking off HL2VR as well, it's not better than Alyx lol. You can do more stuff but it's not as well implemented in the context of VR controls
>>744672763fuck man, I'm just going to play it and get it over with
>>744647453How is it inferior
When the frame comes out i will play distance and overload until i die from motion sickness.
>>744665116>costs as much as a fucking consoleIt basocally comes with 3 superwide monitors (virtual desktop) and your complaining it costs as much as just a console...
>>744674813Weapon handling is ass, vehicle sections are ass, enemy balance is clearly not meant for VR. Art style needs a revision to feel good in VR, everything's too jumbo sized and empty, which is part of the charm but in VR you need some assets for scale.I just uninstalled the VR mod and played flatscreen.
>>744673107it's absolutely well implemented. everything works great. and you can run and jump and fuck around rather than the lame pseudo-platforming alyx had>>744672661alyx is a GREAT VR experience but it's not a fantastic game. and if you care about the half life setting at all, it's kino
>>744675176>and if you care about the half life setting at all, it's kinophew, that's good actually, I like VR for the controls and the immersion
>>744651928Squad (custom servers or offline) the earlier one of that Vietnam one that's releasing also has a mod (hell let loose i think), sandstorm (i think there's 2 other titles in the same series) single player has a mod. Otherwise there's forefront but its vehicle slop mostly of the socialist variety. The gun handling is the worse and makes zero sense why it would be so bad for a supposed fps.
>>744675109All the mod does is make it VR you fucking retard niggerThere's no issues with balance or weapo handling or anything you mentioned at allLike at least try to come up with something believable if youre gonna shit post. Like holy fuck it's not a remake or ground up port, all it fucking does is make it VR
>>744675109>everything's too jumbo sizedOh... you're a midget. You cant enjoy vr things unless you're a vore fetishist
>>744675541>all it fucking does is make it VRJank VR mods are notably worse than just playing it flatscren. It's like my opinion man.You either go all in on game feel autism or don't bother.
>>744675690It's kind of the opposite. Everything feels 2D at that scale unless you have something to meaningfully compare it to. Retro FPS BSP level design feels unfinished in VR as a result. Meanwhile HL2VR does not have this issue.
>>744650501>It's like if large flat panel TVs had only had HDMI inputs while they were still ass, only for the later good flat panel TVs to be exclusively smart TVs that could only play content over an internet connection, we'd still be using CRTs.I dont know what this paragraph is supposed to be about but we didn't wait for prepackaged smart tvs like you did. For one that's why the ouya was always sold out. Basically a fully unlocked Amazon firestick back when those still had to be jailbroken and ps3 was a premium bootleg machine for the bulk of its life. Both turned your TV into a smart bootleg device
>>744649435Even if you can't display 8k, you definitely benefit from the signal (content) being above what the headset can display. By at least 50% more than labeled
>>744649328This is how you know the shill posts are fake. Its not even possible to go back. I can't even go back to watching a non floating television and yall think imma go back to a restricted view and button pushing because some idiot can't figure out how to buy a halo strap
Quest 2 was fun. I wish my 3070 was more powerful. But VR is for rich guys. It's best when you have a room at least an empty 10ft x 10ft room dedicated for it.
>>744647950>just can't get the aiming down due to the slightest misalignmentYou can either go gunstock (most traditional play style) or stick to one handed guns. Theres a problem with at least one of your controllers, might be software. The Virtual gunstock option in the settings also supposed to counter this but you loose the ability to blind fire around corners.
>>744676526Eh, most games aren't designed for roomscale. Also 2m x 2m is more than enough.
>>744676438This phase doesn't last long, VR has the potential to be good, but most games are done poorly and aren't very immersive. I was an early adopter and stopped playing once I got bored with pavlov and onward. The games simply aren't there yet.
I play gzdoom vr and it's a tragedy that troons took over and shitted all over the original project, it will take a lot of effort to update the vr branch and not merge the gay propaganda shit
>>744660646Yeah, as good as Quest 3. Easier even on my Linux. On windows it's more-less the same.Close to q3 in all but much cheaper. And you can play all meta exclusives.Would recommended for up to 200-250
>>744676973The games are all in the form of mods. Mods expose "made for vr" games as essentially scams and the dev posts make it even more obvious they were never up to snuff
>>744677397Has team beef fallen? Wtf happened been out of the standalone loop
>>744678076This is cope. For me it's the other way around.Some VR mods are good, most are unfettered ass, either for objective technical reasons or the game's design just doesn't click.
>>744676438>I can't even go back to watching a non floating televisionYour TVs must be complete dogshit. VR screen resolution just isn't good enough to show a proper 4K TV-like experience.
>>744678179troons added propaganda in the newest builds
>>744679649>philadelphia
>>744679649Retarded but like, who cares.
>>744679785It means you identify as chillin out, maxin, relaxin all cool, shootin some b-ball outside of the school
>>744647310I have a friend that bought a VR headset, used it like 3 times and then never touched it again
>>744681792I did that with a guitar. guitars are a fad
>>744680137troon faggot
>>744683285I'm not the one constantly thinking about them. Tried Doom VR, haven't noticed, moved on.
>>744647310My first ever playthrough of half life 2 was in VR and that experiance was worth the investment alone, it's slim pickings but the great vr games are really great like HLX, boneworks, RE4, VaM and general VR porn is kino aswell. Although they are very much just fun novelties, there's no future where VR Overtakes normal gayming on a screen with a proper controller. It's just too huge a barrier to entry having to put on a headset, connect it to a PC, fumble through menus and stand and wave your arms around with this big fucking box stuck to your face. And everyone owning a META Requires devs to handicap all their games to be easily ported to what's esentially a high end phone from like 6 years ago.
>>744683806>troon shitnothing to see here>AI slopstop right there
>>744687202>trans flag colors in a config fileDoesn't affect my enjoyment.>AI slopInfluences every decision made during development.I can understand not telling the difference with severe brain damage.
>>744687354Not using AI slop also influences every decision during development, but now with mentally ill politically biased freaks in charge
>>744687592You're asking to choose the lesser evil between creatively bankrupt corpo shills and performative Twitter activists?It sounds like the answer is neither.
>>744662448>Astro Bot Rescue Mission>Trombone Champ Unflattened>1943 Berlin Blitz
>>744684176I feel like I can't really play Skyrim or Minecraft anymore without VR. Especially Minecraft - it's such a dull game in many regards but imagine not being able to look around and appreciate vertical parts of builds. Ladder shafts are ass, granted, but I really enjoy aiming a crossbow with the motion controller. I'd also play plenty of gun-based games in VR if I could. VRChat was fun before all the "hackers" started forming anti-fun vigilant groups united against public spaces. Try to hang out somewhere and prepare to get your game crashed. I made a bunch of friends before all the adults began retreating to private rooms, but now all you meet is stoners and little kids.But you're right, I have not had any interest in many dedicated VR games because usually they're hardware demos instead of something intended to be plain fun. A lot of VRChat games are equally as good as some of the bullshit they want money for, and that's not saying much.
Does VR feel like you're actually there, anons?
>>744679260My tv is literally covered I'm a blanket. I stopped using those for projectors. But even that can't keep up with vr. My vr screen is x2 what's even physically possible in my home
I feel like I live a completely different world to VR enthusiasts.>narrow POV and clumsy motion controls massively restrict immersion>PSVR2 is so blurry I don't know how it gets even a passing recommendation>even with comfort mods, I can't wait to take the headset off after an hour or so>VR porn is so distractingly fake I can't enjoy it at all>flight and driving sims are less fun than watching paint dry>HL Alyx was another VR zombie hallway game>my favourite VR game (Astro Bot) is worse than its flat counterpartI don't get it
>>744688501If the designer isn't a complete retard, you have a headset with actual binnoculuar overlap (not the Quest), then it feels like you're sort of there.Think an arcade machine from the future, but in your home.
i'm too old now to get into fucking furry femboys on vrchat so i missed the vr boat
>>744688501A little. You get depth perception. It's also nice to play Skyrim and have weapons be tied to you own body motions instead of a goofy animation that leaves you wide open. It's great having a sword swing be a more precise motion you do from around your own shield instead of being a dumbass haymaker.
Yeah, I had fun with it. I still have fun with it. Once again, as sure as the sun will rise tomorrow, OP is a fag.
I will buy the Steam Frame if it's $500Not interested in spending more for like two games
>>744688563>>VR porn is so distractingly fakeWell there's your problem. You're focused to much on "vr" porn and not enough on "3D" porn. Now you can turn literally any video or picture into 3D, locally.
>>744688501Yeah, but the effect wears off after a while and then it feels more like being surrounded by a 3D screen
>>744688636The furry femboys are high effort power users, dude. They are still around, incidentally, but either way you were going to have to pretend to like Gundam or something for a while before they'd agree to show you the avatar they made with a working dick. Likely in their own personal world. Also they aren't really femboys.
>>744688501Not in the way you imagine. It's much more immersive than normal games, but the reasoning part of your brain still knows it's virtual. However, your subconscious is more easily tricked and VR can trigger things like fear of heights, vague sensations of cold/warmth depending on the environment, etc.
>>744660790Yes. Nta but I play TOTF2 daily and I've killed 1 headset, and my second is occasionally playing up.Sweat in it is no joke, but if you keep your receipt and you kill it within a year you should be able to return to base.
>>744689371Adding to this, I've kept my 2nd one alive much longer by toweling off between fights, sometimes rounds, playing with a big box fan and playing outside on drier days.But playing more than 70 minutes at a time on the highest difficulty is just asking for trouble imho, eventually you'll sweat enough that you should just stop.
>>744689145yeah like i said i'm too old now to want to put effort into rping with john alberts, 48, senior IT manager just to see his model's dick through the wonder of virtual reality
>>744688636VR chat is shit compared to how it was in 2022.In order to meet any actual adults with a functioning brain, you need to pay and get 18+ certified.I just want to hang out and it's just full of retards, teens and teen retards trying to role you up to amuse the 4 people watchijg them on twitch.In 2018- 2021 I met guys like Korean pianist who couldn't talk to girls, Norwegian autoshop worker who was tired of small town life, Israeli chef blowing off steam after work, some southern girl who made dog food packaging for a living and kept birds, an old retired cop whose grandkids bought him a headset to keep him socially active during COVID.It was pretty magical just chatting absolute shit to random people and getting their take on things. There were always mirror-dwellers, but now it's only that, and 80iq thirdie retards screaming
>>744689354Fear of heights was a funny one that got me for a while. I struggled with high places until I could mentally adjust back into game mode. You have the depth perception and that means your brain believes that's an actually deep pit, at first.
>>744690154I met one of the top artists on Webtoons by sheer random chance once. She friended me and everything but I'll be damned if I know the last time she logged in.
>>744690154I dunno how old you are, but that's pretty much just a speed run of the fall of the Internet in general.
Valve here, we have decided to delay the Steam Frame until next year.
VR always reminded me of motion controls in the sense that it sounds pretty cool on paper, then you use it and realize it's really only good for one specific thing (simulators) while being dogshit for just about everything else. The novelty of "Swing sword in VR", "Shoot gun in VR", "Throw ball in VR" wears off quick when it becomes clear that's all VR has to offer with nothing particularly unique beyond that due to being limited to FPV
Anyone play the L4D2 VR mod? Looks really fun, but is it?
>>744690690NTA but the internet fell thanks to Google and their SEO. Wiped out everything.VRchat has collapsed because it's so easy to crash other people's game clients that it's impossible to hang out in public worlds. I think a lot of people would still be having fun if there weren't a risk of some dipshit restarting the app on you every five minutes.
>>744691154Shoot gun or shoot bow in VR actually kicks ass, though. Skyrim previously required you to draw and hold a bow to get power, but VR is limited only by how well your stupid ass can aim a bow. Which is not well if you don't practice.
>>744688914Is being surrounded by a 3d screen supposed to be a bad thing?
>>744690154As a privacy schizo, the 18+ certification process kills most remaining interest in VRC for me. I will NOT give my identification to Persona.Some cool solo worlds out there though.
>>744691154This has never happened
Test
>>744690690And all because of the retarded "boycott" over eac. A Disney subsidiary probably got it for pennies on the dollar because of that.
Only recently got a cheap PSVR1 to finally try it out. Wasn't expecting much, but it's actually really fun, even if it's pretty low res. Got Astro Bot, Blood and Truth, VR Worlds, Skyrim VR and Psychonauts Rhombus of Ruin so far. Any recommendations?
>>744665102>perfect dark VRIs that a thing?
>>744691630Single player mod
>>744691616Almost everything was a tech demo not the full game. Borderlands 2 if it got a psvr 1 release it would be full game minus the multiplayer.
>>744691630Lately it seems there is an explosion of FPS to VR games. AI seems to be very helpful for this.
>>744691154Motion controls are still pretty cool, it's just that gamepad is the wider audience. I was never part of "muh gimmick" camp.
>>744688563Any attempt at a boxing, minigolf, bowling or tennis/squash game on a flat screen is going to suck compared to their VR counterparts.Some games that aren't bad in flat are just uniquely good in VR, like Superhot.>narrow POV and clumsy motion controlsagree>blurryAgree but I guess I just sort of got used to it...>I can't wait to take the headset off after an hour or soValve's new headset supposedly improves comfort a lot>HL AlyxAgree it would be considered a mediocre game if it were released as flat. Same goes for a lot of other popular VR games, like Moss.>flight and driving sims are less fun than watching paint dryTried any mecha or tank sims?I bought mine mainly because I see it as a form of exercise. I mostly stay away from regular video games because they're a huge waste of time.
>>744691723Well yeah, I figured. Played through Psychonauts with all trophies in like 3 hours and VR Worlds is obviously a (kinda crappy) collection of tech demos. But it's still new to me and I'm easily impressed, and I'm having a real good time with Astro Bot right now.
>>744691616>Wipeout Omega Collection>Farpoint>RE7I'd recommend more, but a lot of titles got rereleases for PSVR2 or PC.
>>744647310I used to have a quest 3 but sold it because of how shit the software was. I'm currently waiting for the steam frame because I know steams software isn't putrid dogshit that makes me want to kill myself. Otherwise I really like vr. Porn is fun and my favourite game with VR is project wingman with a hotas and vr setup.
>>744692702Quest's software updates are a means of harvesting human misery to power their AI datacenters.
>blade & sorcery gradually loses frames and eventually enters perma-slowmo if I play for any longer than 40 minutes without a restart>but funny enough, it doesn't happen that often because it just crashes for the most RNG reasons like throwing obe of the switches in the dalgarian ruinsWe're like two content updates past early access, this should be fixed already. Fuckin video games.
>>744692847I hate how every update seems to make things just slightly worse somehow. I couldn't describe it, but you do really feel that enshittification.One sorta minor gripe was we used to be in a cool little desert hideaway, but then they changed it to be in a lame Metaverse mall plaza, then they deleted that and now we have nothing. Just truly, fuck Meta.
>>744692701>I'd recommend more, but a lot of titles got rereleases for PSVR2 or PC.Go for it, I'm not upgrading anytime soon.
>>744693039Did you get the new UI update? It's so dogshit.
>>744693137Oh, yeah. And fucking. Yes, I love having everything everything moved around for no reason and I have to spend fifteen minutes looking for the button to connect to my PC again.
>>744693124Alright>Gran Turismo Sport and Drive Club (offline modes only)>Hitman 3>Rez Infinite>Tetris Effect>Doom 3>Ace Combat 7>Budget Cuts>Iron Man VR>Star Wars Squadrons>Superhot VR>Synthriders>The Walking Dead Saints and SinnersThe tech demos are worth while if you're already a fan of a series, like Danganronpa, Final Fantasy XV, Batman Arkham, Vader Immortal. There are some tacked on VR modes for Tekken 7 and Persona Dancing All Night. If you're a gooner, Dead or Alive Xtreme 3It had a good library in hindsight.
>>744693802Thanks, was already looking at Rez, Tetris Effect and Super hot. Budget Cuts looks interesting, and I guess I might try the Danganronpa one, even though I only played the first one.
>>744692463Lol that's just psychonauts. I figured it out after playing a modded version of an older one
>>744694595Super hot is good as a "first" game. Stick to pvp games if you can. Almost all single player games suck. Only pvp games are really worth it for "made for vr" at least until something is done about anticheat
I bought a vive in 2017, and regretted it until I played Anthro Heat in 2025.
>>744691616Statik is a hidden gem and exclusive. There's another called Separation which was recently made free that some people like but I stopped because it was too buggy.
i'll get back to using it later, just not right now.
Does anybody else's Meta Quest 3 have problems with bluetooth? For some reason headphones work fine but earplugs, but is so much better for the headset without purchasing a separate strap for built in headphones, disconnect every couple of seconds.
>>744647310>>744647373Same here. Spent $250 on a Quest 2 and had fun with the games despite the graphics and battery being underpowered. I always wanted to get a big gaming PC and Quest 3, but never got around to it
Going to get a lot of hate for this, but my consideration for the bare minimum of a vr headset is a decent wired dp headset.I would say the crystal light, and the bsb2 are the absolute LOWEST you should go if your looking for immersion.You lose so much fidelity through compression its similair to watching a YouTube playthrough of a game vs actually running it natively.I own a quest 3 for standalone and a crystal light for pcvr, and the light is a trillion gazzilion times more immersive than the former its crazy.I will boot up steamvr and change my enviorment to some of my favorite settings like an apartment penthouse with a great view and spend 15 minutes just starting off the balcony its unreal.
I got a 5070ti and a Q2 that I only use to fap to porn like maybe twice a month. Worth getting a used Q3? Frame seems out of the question now price wise but with the Q3 I'll need to get $80 prescription lenses like I did with the Q2.
>>744647310I dated a guy in 2016 who Frankensteined two gaming computers in order to play VR. Shit must have been expensive even back then and the games fucking suckedSex was pretty good though
>>744672661Alyx has the most "stuff" you can do with VR controls of almost any game. But yeah, it's a VR demo and not super hard.You can pick shit up and throw it. Use objects to block headcrabs from jumping on you. Pull open drawers and cabinets to find ammo. Inject yourself (I still think this is cool) in the heart with syringes to recover health. Reload the shotgun in real time by opening it, picking up your ammo, then shoving it in. Toss grenades with real physics, etc.You'll find yourself saying, "Can I do that?" and more often than not the answer is yes. Alyx will impress you, but only a few of the later levels have challenging fights and even then there's plenty of ammo/health to survive them.
I cant go back to elder scrolls games in flatscreen I CANT YOU DONT UNDERSTAND HOW IMMERSIVE THESE GAMES ARE IN VRRRRRR ARGGGH
I still play beat saber 3-4 times a week
Vr helped with my depression.When I first got my headset I would just play walkabout and hop from world to world in vrchat.It gave me the sensation of being somewhere else like a vacation.I started doing more things irl.
>>744647310Bambi uses vr headsets to watch bambi videos
>>744648830For me, it was Resident Evil Village on PSVR2, Such an amazing game, can't play RE without VR anymore. When I got to play Alyx, I was like, "Is that it? and I really hated all the hacking puzzles. Impressive graphics tho
>>744653319It's really been over 10 years now hasn't it.
VR is and was a hobbyist journey. Until we have full dive, it's more like some kind of Jarvis upgrade for your viewing pleasure. I love it because it allows me to have multiple screens in my own make-believe office, and it's especially great for 3D work, especially if the program has real-time rendering like VaM. It really makes for an excellent creative space. You can play some games with it yeah, but that shouldn't be the focus of VR. It has so much more utility than just plain entertainment. It's current shortcoming is pricing, if you aren't well off or set aside money for it, it's not something you can just pick up from Walmart.
>>744704046Are you the fabled office worker Zuckerberg was trying to make the Metaverse for? The supposed future worker who types on a virtual keyboard instead of the one connected to his computer?
>>744705928Maybe? He was making a lot of promises without understanding what he was doing. You can really tell he probably wasn't the brains behind Facebook at all. Come to think of it, I don't think he's actually come up with a good idea on his own. He will never be Jobs or Wazniak.
>>744647310i still use it on a regular basis though
