To be fair, my Oculus is in Colorado where I Iive 50% of the time. But… um… yes!

Anyone want to buy a Vive?

2031

Just received the Vive Pro at work… will be digging into how we can use the dual cameras on it. The hardware itself is nice.

Also, for anyone interested, Google’s got a sale for their Daydream setup. It’s $50 off right now (bringing it to $49).

2032

Yikes! VR sale?

Arizona Sunshine and Fallout 4 and Island 359 and In Death are all very tempting…

…but Skyrim seems like the only VR game I need for the foreseeable future.

O, WHAT TO DOOOoooo?

2033

The Oculus Store has daily sales I’ve noticed. I think I got Arizona Sunshine cheap there.

2034

I’m really enjoying Fallout 4 VR, provided you have a beefy machine and are willing to put up with stutters even so. The pluses compared to Skyrim VR would be

  • Better graphics, probably comparable now that Skyrim has ENB
  • Settlements. Pretty neat to build your own city in VR, and even better with SIm Settlement.
  • Personally I find gunplay more satisfying in VR than melee.
  • Locational damage!

The downsides are:

  • Automaton DLC doesn’t work in VR, though all the other ones work, more or less (assuming you have them from the pancake version.)
  • Didn’t catch on with the modding community like Skyrim vr did, so no f4se etc.
  • terrible, terrible performance.

Picked up LA Noire off Steam, played for about 30 mins and didn’t like it. Refund requested. Perhaps I’m spoiled by Skyrim now, but I couldn’t put up with that control scheme, especially the driving.

2036

Just a reminder that if you have VR and haven’t played Gorn, do yourself a favor and pick it up for $15!

2037

What runs better - Skyrim or Fallout?

2038

Okay, okay! Done.

Easily Skyrim, much older engine.

2039

Enjoy Gorn! It starts a little slowly until you unlock more weapons but damn, what an awesomely fun game!

2040

Note to self: turn ceiling fan off before playing. :)

2041

then after turning it off you smack right into the now stationary ceiling fan. at least i do, anyways.

2042

Gorn! is making me consider getting a third sensor for the rift.

Anyone using a three sensor setup? Other than getting wrapped up in the cord are there any issues?

2043

I have three, and there are no issues with occlusion or signal loss. But I have a pretty small area…

With two, have you tried the diagonally opposite sensor setup?

2044

I stumbled across this mod today for those of you using Skyrim VR: It increases immersion to allow you to use voice to interact with the NPCs.

Reading the comments on Nexus, it works on keywords so you don’t have to say the dialogue exactly - but knowing the keyword to trigger might take a little bit of experimenting.

Lots of great comments, people seem to enjoy it if they can get it installed ;-)

I got my Vive Pro and am just hooking it up now. One nice thing I didn’t realize is that the incentive for current Vive owners is better than the 6 months of Viveport. Existing owners get 12 months of Viveport and a $100 credit in the store. Now granted it’s Viveport and I’d rather have games on Steam, but at least it’s something.

2046

Oh, cool! I didn’t realize that either. But I don’t get why they want us moving away from Steam. That’s the whole reason I went Vive in the first place. Argh.

2047

Wonder if they want you to spend it on games for the Vive, which they can’t restrict it to if it is just credit on Steam.

2048

Vive is an HTC product, and Viveport is probably owned by HTC? Steam isn’t.

2049

I guess I thought there was more of a corporate synergy thing going on between HTC and Valve. Booo.

I did end up picking up Arizona Sunshine (fun!) and Fallout 4 (haven’t tried it yet) on the Steam VR sale. I’ll get to the Viveport credit in due time but I’m pretty happy with these new games for now.
