Probably a strategic decision. Adobe driving VR on the professional side is good for VR's expansion.
Does this mean Medium will be part of their sub service now? Wonder if it'll come to Steam or be purchasable on non Oculus hardware now
As some other people have mentioned it doesn't go on sale. See the price history here: https://steamdb.info/app/450540/
It's worth it at full price, it's absolutely the best firearm simulation in VR and the Take & Hold mode is my go-to when I'm looking for some intense gameplay. Extremely replayable and high skill ceiling since the weapons are all simulated and there's a ton of difficulty customization.
It's just so damn good. I put in 20 hours over the last week. It's really a testament to the teams coding that you can learn all the major weapons platforms (AR-types, AK-types, Glock-types etc.) and still get better with specific guns the more you use them. Really well-implemented simulation.
Regarding Take and Hold - do you know how the game handles your visibility? If I peek a corner am I actually less visible than if I walk around it? Or is it basically a visible/in cover all or nothing type deal?
I know this feel well and I'm starting to creep into it again. I have short spurts of enthusiasm where I come back to VR from a break (sometimes a few months) and get hooked all over again and begin ranting like a coked out preacher that it's the best thing since sliced bread, and then my brain just kinda cools on the experience after a few weeks. I hope my brain is still engaged for Boneworks cause I've been pining for that for ages. And if it isn't no biggie it'll still be there the next go around.
I was hoping this one would be marked down during the last sale and especially now post Adobe announcement. Hope it doesn't turn into a sub model.
Not sure but I think it's both based on how long you're visible and how far from the wall you are. If you're leaning it's definitely a lot quicker to pull your head back than to jiggle back and forth with the joystick given the somewhat weighty movement momentum.
I love playing full MGS mode and throwing an empty magazine (if you have duplication enabled) or tapping my weapon against the wall to bait them out.
That makes sense. MGS mode just got better when I realized you can sneak up on Sosigs and actually rip their head off in a kind of stealth take down. Now we just need lockers to hide them in.
I'm really hopeful for Boneworks tomorrow, but damn if H3VR isn't still my absolute favorite VR game.
if those are accurate..... uh... I think you will meet the min.
I need a new video card to hit the recommended lol and I just built a new computer (though I didn't get a new gpu)
Looks like I'll be joining the VR gang next month! Are there any hidden gems that aren't talked about much?
I have noticed the same thing, compared to Pavlov and some other games the two handed weapons feel a little off.
LOL
Saw that on Twitter yesterday. Could only laugh at the awesomeness of it.
How much shit is too much shit? Trick question. You can never have too much shit exploding in your face.
EDIT:
LOL. I know he's posted in the past how he's gotten "bug" reports back for how he failed epilepsy guidelines on his games. He was already mentioning it with this before he turned the crazy up to 11:)

Thanks for the heads up! I had to add two games I didn't really care about for the promotion, but even at $2.49 for The Invisible Hours it's a great deal (Lowest discount price on Steam is $10.19).
I thought this at first but then realized I was holding the controller wrong. I would default to tilting my forward hand like I was holding the underside of the barrel when it actually wants to be held like a foregrip even on weapons without one. This made it a lot better for me. Still not perfect though.
I feel like not enough people talk about Windlands 2. It's one of my favorite VR games. The movement and freedom to go anywhere in that game is amaizing. It also runs silky smooth. Only caveat is that you need to have your VR legs to play it as it's rather intense for newbies.
Thank you! I added it to my wishlist along with some others. Do VR games usually go on sale or are prices mostly fixed?
There's a ton of great stuff out there that noone ever mentions.
Just got a PCVR headset because of Half-Life: Alyx and want some game recommendations? I got you covered. (IMG HEAVY)
With the announcement of Half-Life: Alyx, a lot of people have recently taken the plunge in to VR for the first time and I've seen a lot of requests for game recommendations. I thought I'd compile a list specifically for PCVR to point to and give you some ideas. Everything here is playable with...

My Oculus has been currently sitting at a FedEx facility for the last 3 days, the same FedEx facility that I put down as the pickup point but yet the FedEx tracker just says "Package is not yet available for pickup."
I think I am starting to lose my mind a bit.

Make sure you're holding your off-hand further out like where the stock/grip is. If it's too close it will still grip further out but kind of extrapolate your hand position since you're not holding it correctly.
Hmmm, very interesting. I didn't hear about this but I remember them showing Substance Painter in VR before the Adobe acquisition. I've been waiting to hear more about that since then. Wonder if they're related? A Zbrush quality app with painting in VR would be a KILLER app for me.
Index controllers are back in stock on Steam. I just ordered a pair (currently have HTC Vive with deluxe audio strap). I may get the index headset in the future but for now I'll start with the controllers. I'll try them out with H3VR since you guys have convinced me to get it.

They're so awesome. Make sure to stop by The Lab, Aperture Hands Lab and Moondust.
I do that, don't think it's the problem. there's just a lot of smoothing to your movements when you have two hands on the weapon.

Graph shows SteamVR usage for VR exclusive/majority player count games. Things are flying since October, lets see how long it lasts. Definitely on a consistent uptrend over the past year. You can also see specific title concurrent/peak players for VR games with some filters on the main site here.

So it's an opt in service but it seems like features are being tied to your Facebook account. They already have enough of my data. Facebook and Google really want to know literally everything about us to monetize to marketers.
Yeah I'm catiously excited try them out. I also ordered portal themed 3d boosters off of Etsy too that I'll slap on the controllers when I get them to compare versus using them without the booster.

Facebook is far and away the worst part of owning an Oculus headset. My Quest is great, but completely tainted by being owned by Facebook. I will jump ship the day something else delivers what Oculus does with the Quest (portable + pcvr). I buy every game I can on Steam.
The Facebook creep continues too. The Oculus app now allows messaging friends....but only if you are linked into Facebook.
Yeah. I love what Carmack has done with the Quest. And I love the vision he laid out for the future at OC6. But for the love of all that's good, please let this roadmap be picked up by someone a little less scummy, please.
I refuse to even have an active Facebook account. I would make a dummy account just for the Quest, but then Facebook will now it's me and pester people... "Hey, guess what, here's Johnny" and beg for invites.
Oculus Venues have had some cool events, but it requires a Facebook login. So, oh well. Not for me. I'm sure the Facebook requirement is coming down the pipe. But I won't be jumping on that. Hopefully Quest will get jailbroken before that ever happens and I can just stop any firmware update that introduces it.
Index users, how you do the process of putting on, taking off and adjusting the headset and knuckles? What goes on first for you and what comes off first? Do you turn on the camera to see what you're doing? As someone new to VR and Index I'm struggling a bit with this hahah
Sorry if this is not the correct thread for this.
Sorry if this is not the correct thread for this.
I can do it blindly in either case so it doesn't really matter. Just make sure the controllers are on first if you're going to pick them up after the headset is on that way they show up in VR.
I normally put on my knuckles first, I have the band tight but not too tight, I can remove the hand without pressing the button. Then I put the headset.
That's it.
So Budget Cuts 2 is releasing today to almost zero fanfare...didn't even know it was releasing today till I saw a post on r/valveindex about it. It comes out on Steam at 1 pm est, so in about an hour and a half. UploadVR's review:
Lol yeah, I totally forgot that was today. I actually still need to play the first. I got stuck in the first room when the note tells you to go to the elevator and never got around to coming back (I believe I know what I'm supposed to do now).
I can't be excited for 2 until I play 1 and I'm waiting for proper Index support before I play 1. They said they'd patch 1 so I'm just waiting
Trailers did look really good but launching so close to Boneworks was probably a mistake.
So was Twisted Pixel's Path of the Warrior previously announced or was this a shadow drop? Looks pretty rad.
Unfortunately, doesn't seem that great:
Might buy when its 5 dollars to try out via Revive.

So my Quest has updated itself, but the PC app update isn't available yet, and so I've been locked out of PCVR for the time being.
Fuck me, I wanted to continue playing boneworks.
