Re: The VR Conundrum

Have you played the four other The Room incarnations for PC (not VR)? I have this on my Steam wishlist but haven't purchased it yet. (I have the other four regular games via Steam and have played two...

Re: The VR Conundrum

It'll take a bit of doing for me to fight anything in VR. :D

I like Moss and I've played Lucky's Tale, Deisim, and, of course, Butts: The VR Experience. :D :D

I own a bunch more that I...

Re: The VR Conundrum

Another question: One thing I like about my Rift/tethered headset is that, if someone is using the headset, I can still see what they're doing on my computer monitor. (We walked a younger person...

Re: The VR Conundrum

Ohhh, I see! I thought you had to be ON Facebook WHILE you were using the headset, and that just made no sense to me. So, the account is to go purchase games, etc.?

Aren't they the ones that are tethered somehow to your Facebook account? My son has a Quest and said something about it needing Facebook. Or is the Quest 2 something newer and differenter? :D :D

Re: The VR Conundrum

Oh, it also probably matters if you're as picky as others about things like framerates, etc. I'm NOT picky about the subtle stuff. I just don't want hiccupping or stuttering while I'm playing, and I...

Re: The VR Conundrum

ynwtf , you might not need as much "oomph" as you think. I'm running a refurbished business Dell computer right now that handles my Oculus Rift just fine. My specs are these:

My son (Yoda's younger brother) has a Quest but I haven't had the chance to take a peek at it myself. So you're saying their graphics aren't as good (and is that *because* they are standalone...

Re: The VR Conundrum

So I finally bought Beat Saber, which was originally one of the games that got me into VR when I played it briefly at a friend's house in Houston in April 2019. And I broke down and bought myself a...

Re: The VR Conundrum

I do like Moss, for example, which doesn't give me those issues. But it doesn't help that the headset throws me initially into that "room" with the grid behind it. Then I start out with an unresolved...

Re: The VR Conundrum

Let's put it this way: I LOVE VR and could spend way too much time gaming with my headset... but even that opening screen (the living room with the fireplace and the blank grid behind it) makes me a...

No, it's still free, and I'm downloading it now. Thanks for the heads up! I'm so far behind on my Oculus/VR gaming!

Re: The VR Conundrum

I actually do have the regular Garry Mod "thing" (I hesitate to call it a proper "game")... It's just... weird. And filled with weirdos. :D Glad to hear the VR version is more of the same. :D

Hey, Golgot ... I've got my VR set up with two sensors. A friend mentioned that three are better, but it dawned on me that I don't know if you have two or three sensors -- or a headset that doesn't...

So, last night and today I FINALLY revamped my office space to make room for using my VR headset again. You can tell by the marks on the carpet where the desk USED to be. I gave a good 4-5 feet...

Re: The VR Conundrum

That's fun. Love how the GameSpot reporter kept hedging on whether he'd ever buy one or whether he thinks gaming would eventually go in this direction.

Well, we'll all have to be here on MoFo's 40th anniversary then, to see if you're right. I suspect you're closer to the truth than you might have intended. :D
