My most regular VR game is No Man’s Sky. Then probably In Death, and some occasional Beat Saber.

I also love Project Cars 3 and have been thinking about getting back into Elite Dangerous, which used to be a regular.

Beat Saber, Eleven TT.

4580

Beat saber, pistol whip, gorn.

Squadrons and elite too but I really need a new gpu for them.

4581

Me, almost all DCS all the time. I hardly ever touch the keyboard, but I have climbed the learning cliff ages ago and rock some specialized equipment (pointCTRL) to allow me to do that. It’s like practicing etudes on a clarinet or something.

Sometimes a spot of Il-2, SW squadrons and E:D.

I don’t even have VR controllers, so I haven’t bothered with any of the “conventional” VR games so far. I did order a set of VR controllers with the G2, and am quite curious to check out Beat Saber, Alyx, etc. But I’ll probably keep returning to the viper pit.

I think I told that story once. In the beginning, the rift was sold without controllers for a year or so. That’s when I got mine. They never even gave 5% off a set of controllers, even when they sold them packed in at a lower price than I paid for my headset. I have always felt that as a hearty Fuck You to their early adopters and supporters and have carried a grudge towards oculus since. Fuck them, Fuck facebook and fuck their idea of customer loyalty. So no, I never even thought about plunking down the 150E asking price for the controllers.

4584

Understood. My 2nd-hand CV1 was the base model too – one tracking station, the headset, and that stupid little dongle thing. Having to shell out for at least another tracking station AND the controllers pretty much got the CV1 delegated to “meh, it’s okay once in a while” status.

Having the full meal deal with the Quest 2 has completely changed my opinion on VR gaming. It totally opened things up.

As for Facebook, well, I’ve just lived through 4 years of a Trump “presidency”. Having Omnissiah Zuck finger my butthole doesn’t bother me that much.

4585

Thanks everyone. I love seeing what people are enjoying.

I’ve never even heard of this, but several of you listed it. Is there something that makes this game special?

4586

How do you like the table tennis? Do you play mostly against the CPU? I’m trying to find a good intuitive “sports” game that friends can play, but also a game with some depth.

4587

I generally play Population One at the moment, but I have a thin friend list in VR. I’d be all about Echo Arena or Combat, wouldn’t mind trying Settlers of Catan

4588

I ordered mine pretty much for MSFS and ETS2 /ATS. I also bought one of the new IL-2 games (Stalin grad maybe). I’m sure I’ll pick up Alyx but what other sim type games am I missing? Is Squadrons good really?

4589

It’s the closest video game recreation of a real sport I have ever tried. It’s a lot better with the 90hz support on the Quest 2 now too, 72 was pushing it for such a fast paced game. (currently in beta but should be out in public any day now)

4590

I have a slower Quest 1 but I’m still interested.

I kind of regret gifting Piston Whip to someone on his new Quest 2 because now I kind of want to play it and I’m not sure I want to buy it twice!

4591

Archery in VR is really cool and In Death to my mind is the best archery game.

It helps that it is a procedurally generated rogue-like style game, with a Dark Souls kind of vibe to the atmosphere.

Sweet, I really like the game but the 72Hz was just not good enough for me.

4592

It’s still playable at 72, but I used to play pretty seriously and once you get the velocity up into the range of real games (players standing back 5 or 10 feet) it’s so fast it’s hard to react. It’s still uncanny though!

If they ever actually enable 120 hz on the Quest 2 this is one game that could really take advantage.

4593

I read some reviews and I was a bit disturbed how many table tennis enthusiasts there are out there! And they all loved it, I should add.

4594

That or tennis seem like they would be really fun in VR.

4595

I think you could do a very accurate tennis simulation, so good you could really learn to play, but nobody has put in the effort because you’d need a huge empty room to play it that almost nobody has. And tennis isn’t that popular, I guess. You could automate movement but that’s more like a batting cage than a sim. You would also need to attach a controller to a real racquet. Even for table tennis the game supports an adapter with a real handle.

Oh Walkabout mini golf is a really solid multiplayer sports game, perfect for hanging out with friends.

4596

Yes it is.

For il2, if you liked what you saw but want more familiar names, planes and scenery, get bodenplatte.

4597

I’m still playing against the cpu, because the last time I played it in real life was almost 20 years ago, and were just a handful of informal games with friends without knowing how to play. In other words I’m bad and I’m earning now by myself. But it’s fun.
When/if I can be the AI consistently at skill 30, I will start playing against other players.
