LTTP: Thumper (This game is hard!)
- Thread starter Camstun187

There's nothing wrong with the laser ring. It punishes players that are slacking with hitting the blue notes consistently. It shows up for like two seconds and then it's gone. Hitting blue notes is a skill you deserve to be tested on by level 5, more than halfway through the game.
Bought this for PSVR last night. Played this morning and the view is stuck to the headset, ie. when I move my head the whole world moves. I'm sure this didn't happen in the demo, and looking at youtube vids it appears not to either. Anyone know how to change this?
Bumping an old thread here but thought this was relevant and interesting.

It talks about how reduced latency and arguably more accessibility of an immersive state in VR makes it easier to perform better.
Probably won't get VR for a long while but this is still like Top 20 games of all time. Been back to it these past few days and remember how engrossing it is. Don't know if I'll ever be on S+ pure perfect levels but I love it besides. Figuring out lately how I have a love of rhythm/rhythm-adjacent games like this, Elite Beat, One Finger Death Punch. The zen aspect always keeps me coming back.
I like rhythm games but I don't love thumper. It doesn't really give me that music flow feeling that other games like bit trip, guitar hero likes, eba, etc.
I think it's because I seem to rely a lot more on visual feedback and reflexes and memorization than the music itself. There's portions where that happens, but it's mostly empty face filled with short random obstacles.

I think it's pretty hard to argue that the VR experience is somehow less immersive, but I've always been of the thought that even just being a camera in a linear game's space is usually worth it. My favorite launch VR game was Chronos, after all.
me too i would love to have a physical copy, (i've miss this LGR sale..)
I've made it to level 6, but I'm just not having fun anymore. I love rhythm games, but the difficulty just doesn't feel fair. Most of the difficulty comes from it throwing really sharp curves at you very fast, so you can never really see what's coming up and it becomes more about pure reaction speed (or memorization test after failing enough).
I'm not playing in VR though, so that may be part of the problem. I imagine it's easier if you can turn your head to see what's coming up.
