I was asked to vote to ban anime, does this mean I voted for nothing now?Warning!
The other night, my dumb ass got caught in a phishing scam.
I've since changed my password and email, also I have two-step authenticator set up. Hopefully things are under control on that front.
I know not all of you are on my Steam friends list. For those that are, please ignore any messages I sent, especially if they ask you to vote for something.

Oh, God no!Every vote to ban anime was actually changed into two votes for more anime.

Glad you didn't.WOW, I just got a message from you saying to vote for your team on play4cup. I ALMOST DID IT,, I went to the website and almost signed in through steam but decided not to :). The entire thing just reeked like a scam to me. The reason I almost did it is because I recognized your username and you were on my friends list for a very long time. Glad it wasn't you.
Glad you didn't.
Usually I can sniff out a phishing attempt, but the person who messaged me was on my friends list (and they were also hacked). Plus I've been so worried about the COVID-19 disaster.
Possibly, but keep an eye on your account. 12 hours passed before the hacker sent phishing messages with mine.Im safe right, just visiting the website isn't enough to get anything from me right?

Guys, how division 1 solo? I never played those games , but they are on sale and it looks visually nice . I just dont know the actual structure and stuff
Half Life Alyx looks really good, but If I'm being honest from the first couple of hours (maybe this changes later) it seems there's nothing there you couldn't do outside of VR with a minor loss of immersion at worst.

I'm not sure what you expect. By design, the first hours of the game are all establishing players from all backgrounds into VR, mechanics etc, in a way that is palatable even as a first experience, training them up and introducing them to various aspects. Mechanically the game doesn't have to do all that much, already benefiting wildly from the advantages of the medium as it gradually scales up. Calling it a "minor loss of immersion" to translate it outside of VR, is kind of hilarious from my approx 3hr experience with it. None of the moment to moment play of this introduction section is going to have anywhere near the impact outside of VR imo.

VR firearm operation isn't just immersion, it's gameplay. Like you might as well say you could do H3VR on flat, but that would defeat 97% of the entire purpose.
Beyond that, in the first few hours I've run into multiple physics based gameplay, hidden objects, etc - of which a lot would have significant gameplay downgrade outside of VR.
All that said it's not the most intensely VR game ever in the first few hours.
Well, like i said, it might ramp up later, but the early stuff all seems like interactions you could easily do with a mouse and one or two context sensitve buttons, and outside of VR would just be fairly typical HL gameplay.
I don't know what to say to you. I have to imagine you are watching someone else play on a flat screen... Yes - it's fairly typical HL gameplay, if you have absolutely no conception of how that is in the medium itself. You've got no comprehension of the wealth of options in how to play, the scope of sensory perception Valve is playing with and exploiting specific to the medium, making even mundane things rather insane when playing.
As the most simplest example that I stated ages ago and just did. I caught a headcrab in a bucket. Trapped it simultaneously with a plank of wood. And my next plan is to do the same when combine are around and stick it on their head - - because the flexibility of the physics systems and interaction, let me play in any stupid way I want. No amount of keyboard keys are going to provide the nuance of so many aspects going into the in the moment activity in just this one interaction, and the satisfaction of it all working. The encounters even at the most simple form are monumentally different in VR vs the same in flat - from the thought process, reflexes (and combating reflex you do not intend), scale, depth, presence, the combined emotive experience from situations, interactions, characters; the innate responses triggered thanks to this combination that you can't switch off - vertigo, fear, fumbling as you panic etc etc. Because it literally interacts on the level that you perceive reality, it has effects both in experience and in gameplay that are non-translatable to a lesser fidelity medium.
By all means, when a mod comes along and entirely compromises 95% of what is happening here, it will cease to be this game, and be something else entirely. Gun control from a two axis experience, to one with yaw. roll and pitch - it isn't comparable. Like translating a movie to radio.
Come to think of it, one of my favourite moments so far is an interaction with a character. Being present with a character like that, in the same way you experience reality, it emotes hard.
With that in mind I don't think it is worth having this conversation further, as I can't even express how wrong you are at the most fundamental levels, that are immediately obvious from playing the game.
To me the first couple of hours basically seem like something along the lines of Resident Evil 7 in the sense that, yeah, it's more immersive in VR and there's some stuff that's clearly designed around VR first, but you could mostly get the same experience outside of VR, especially since in a hypthetical official 'flat' version they'd have reworked the most VR stuff anyway.
I completely disagree, it's not very much like flat games at all. I also think you would miss the vast majority of the gameplay if Alyx were flat.
It's basically the difference of reading a gameFAQ of a game and playing it.
RE7 was very much designed for flat first, and so you didn't have that same gulf of mechanics. It IS a flat game. So it really does only add immersion in VR.
I can give you a whole list of better lewds than Sakura game.I almost feel like I should buy that Humble Sakura bundle before it expires tomorrow. I'm not a fan of lewd games, but the art styles all look so appealing. Seems like the wrong reason to be drawn to those sorts of games though lol.
Their art is pretty generic and uninspired imo.I almost feel like I should buy that Humble Sakura bundle before it expires tomorrow. I'm not a fan of lewd games, but the art styles all look so appealing. Seems like the wrong reason to be drawn to those sorts of games though lol.
peeling of the plastic from new bought phone or just any new gadget is more satisfying imoThere are few things in life as satisfying as pulling off the " swing-circle-strafe" with the super shotgun meathook in Doom .
Eh, to me the difference is more like watching a big spectacle movie in a theatre vs at home on a smaller TV. And yeah, just modding it be to flat would probably be a bad time, but IMO what I've seen of the the first couple of hours would work just fine if Valve themselves had reworked it it as a flat experience as an option.
4 is a better 3, 5 is whatever.
New Dawn? Didn't play it.
Far Cry 4 is very similar to FC3, but in the Himalayas. I loved the addition of the mini-copter and used it constantly. The snowy areas are pretty neat too.
Overlay does crash some games, including some being sold on Steam itself...Aaaand Odyssey is crashing again. It looks like it is Steam related not driver related. Everything worked fine until i started game via Steam (so i can have Steam overlay and Remote Play).

Tried to play Ace Combat 7, reached mission 5, uninstalled the game. I simply find it not funny or entertaining. The plot is....boring, and the game is boring as well, you do the same thing again and again, with some minor differences. I saw it's 20 missions long but can't play it so long, so give up now it's the best choice.
Gamepass console.The game starts slow but, as every Ace Combat, when it gets real its an epic blast.
Is it on Gamepass PC already?
By the way I'm just posting here to say how amazed I am by Doom 2016 and Forzá Horizon 4 optimization
Like, they didn't drop a frame while playing at 1440p 74fps
"All the resources for VR game development later in the cycle, during Alyx's development, all of those resources got moved onto Alyx," Coomer explained. "So at the moment, no, there aren't three other titles in development. But, as for what's coming, we don't really have something new or newsworthy for you to say: [no] 'Once Alyx is out the door here's what you should expect to have happen.'"
