Move your feet… ? ;)
Really though, everything is based around your head position so you can just lean to the side to dodge those pillars.

oohhhh… of course - I tried all sorts of buttons and what-not! Thanks! I like the game. It has that cool-factor not many games do have, but was sad that I was to dumb to understand how to progress :-)

Yeah there are definitely sequences where you have to (physically) dodge to the left or right or duck, or all 3 in quick succession to avoid obstacles. At higher difficulties you’ll be doing twister to avoid bullets too.
Yep, Pistol Whip is a game that benefits of having a place large enough to do two steps at every direction, not only left and right, but backwards and forwards.
Some Oculus guys shares videos of MoH. Graphics are good, ragdolls are good, sounds are good, there is survival mode with modifiers, museum too, a gauntlet, but the weapon reload seems very arcade and simplified.

Pistol Whip has a new free update. Pistol Whip 2089. This update features five new songs and a new campaign story mode.There are also some new enemy types. I only played through the first two parts. It’s pretty cool so far.

I’m wearing out the refresh icon for my mail-box. Argg!
When did you order Jeff? I may just have you tell me when yours ships.

Everyone waiting for a G2, consider a Quest 2 to hold you over if $300 isn’t outside your holiday budget. Having a secondary standalone wireless VR is valuable even if you have a PC with a G2. There are plenty of games I would only play on a wireless headset.
Don’t know much about the Quest. If I buy most of my games through steam, can I play them in quest?
Yes, with some caveats.
You need a usb 3 cable (technically usbo 2.0 also works but I don’t recommend it), there is a small performance penalty because the streaming technology used, and a small image quality and latency penalty too.
You can also omit the cable and use an app called Virtual Desktop but it’s a paid app and it doesn’t work with all games.

Beat the campaign on normal. I like it. Good story and visuals that match the action. A slight new mechanic, which is awesome. I’m gonna try it on hard; I bet it will be even more fun.
The game does provide a warning that you shouldn’t try the campaign until you’re pretty familiar with the basic gameplay (i.e. you dodge incoming bullets instinctively.) I’ve been an owner of the game since release day, but Pistol Whip definitely just keeps getting better and better. Beat Saber is the only game I play more than it. (And the new BTS music pack for Beat Saber is a workout!)

Virtual Desktop at $10 is cheaper than the long USB cable you would need and works well with the VR games I’ve tried, but it is a pain to set up because you have to get an Oculus developer account to enable sideloading…
Still, the wireless VR is awesome provided 1) your PC has a gigabit wired connection to your wifi router and 2) you get an excellent wifi signal from the router to the Quest. It’s particularly good for room-scale games where you don’t have room near your gaming PC; you can play PC VR games with the same freedom as native Quest games.
So the newest kerfuffle being reported on reddit is that connection is shipping orders made in late October, but not pre-orders made between 8/24 and 10/24. Reddit is luckily not always the most reliable source of information and often a fount of hysteria. STAY TUNED!
…which takes literally one minute. Why is it a pain?

That’s just one step. The pain comes from not being able to find an online resource that takes you through all the steps so you can set it up without thinking too much; the absence of this is so obvious that it made me think there was some contractual reason it wasn’t provided. Once you get past the setup it is an excellent experience, and VR Desktop is pretty slick for what seems to be a one-man operation.
10/14 preorder through Connection here, so…awesome.
Having said that, there are quite a few people saying they’re already running into major problems with their units and having to RMA them (good luck with that), so if it means getting a newer revision absent these issues, I’m okay with that. But still, even as my first foray into VR, my excitement level for this has dropped off a cliff. HP have bungled this release about as much as nVIDIA did their 30xx cards.
What about the steps on the SideQuest site? Not super detailed but perfectly adequate
edit: I guess that doesn’t include VD setup. And I do agree it is a bit of a hassle! :)
