Meanwhile, the game’s eight-mission campaign starts off promising, with organic opportunities to teach players how the game works. Unfortunately, it jacks up in difficulty so wildly that I haven’t beaten it as of press time. I’ve repeatedly run into issues on “normal” difficulty in which I’ve laser-focused my entire build operation on a single path, just to try to chip away at my computer opponent, only to watch the AI generate more units, and more diverse ones, than I possibly can. Something is wrong with the campaign’s tuning, and I had to tuck my tail between my legs and opt for “easy” just to get through enough to at least explore and enjoy the game’s unit variety and tech-tree options.
Yes, there is single player skirmish, co-op, and multiplayer. All are available in the arena version. Arena is limited by the maps you can play on, and you aren’t able to make customized selections for what units you’ll have available in a match. You will be limited to the built-in defensive, aggressive, or balanced option.
I’m not a big sports guy but Viveport has Knockout League as one of its selections this month. It’s pretty darned good. The visuals are really nice. Gameplay is fun. The combination of dodging, blocking and punching was quite a workout for an out of shape guy like me. I think tht it’s one of the better titles I’ve played on the Vive.
One of the main thinks keeping me from a Vive 2, other than the fact that I already shelled out $400 for a Rift, is the controller. I really like the Rift Touch controllers, they feel great.
Wasn’t Vive or Valve or someone working on a Knuckles controller or something? I haven’t heard anything on that in quite a while.
Valve was/(is?) working on the knuckles controller. I’d love to see what ends up happening with the stuff the Haptx people are doing, but it will probably be a decade before it is commercially viable for regular folks.
Fuck you and fuck oculus for their crap-ass software.
Just a fucking driver, like my printer, my HOTAS, my graphics driver and my motherboard. I dont need no storefront and home and all that shit.
Anyway, this certification gaffe has turned the oculus forum into a vertiable shitstorm of whiny entitlement rage. Truly stomachturning. No patience these kids.
Yeah they really fucked up here. Then again they are owned by Facebook, the world leader in sloppy engineering practices so I am not too surprised. Hopefully they get it fixed asap.
The worst part is that there are no errors, notifications, or status popping up letting the user know what’s wrong. The headset is just… dead. Terrible design.
