Yep. Via an app like Virtual Desktop, they act as a monitor or multiple monitors.

Here you go:

1786

Thanks! I’ll probably pick that up.

1787

It says now including The Mercenaries. What is that? I know, I should google, but I’m lazy and someone here can tell me yay or nay on if it’s any good.

1788

It’s a horde mode for re4

Got another 30% off coupon from Meta this morning… I like this trend, even if it makes me spend money… I bought Bonelab and Moss2 last coupons back and I haven’t even had a chance to try them, as I’m still working my way through the Doom3 Dr.Beef VR mod (which is a decently long game, turns out! I had stalled one third in, back in the day, glad I did, since this is such a fantastic romp in VR).

Now I have to figure out what I want. Have to say, there’s no lack of choice on the platform, despite not having triple AAA devs. I have about 25 games in my wishlist.

1790

Report back on Bonelab, I’m intrigued by the series but haven’t jumped in yet.

1791

I have to try that mod, given how much I like the game.

1792

Just bought it. Thanks! Nice to save $50, since I was going to get it anyhow. I might poop in my pants if I play RE4 on it, though.

1793

I haven’t tried it but it sounds like RE4 VR is really great. And it includes Beat Saber too. Enjoy!

1794

I’ll try it and let you know if I experience a UFR (Unexpected Fecal Release).

1795

I’ve given Bonelab about three hours… it’s a bizarre game, kind of a mashup of HalfLife vibe and Sinners & Saints mechanics, with the parkour and climbing of some other titles. Kind of surreal setting, no real story. After a two hour intro, I’m at a ‘main menu’ area where you can do some generic testing of the systems… I assume the ‘story’ mode continues once I’ve finished mucking around here.

But overall, I feel like I’ve had better experiences in other places. I know that the physics system is a draw, but rigging of the entire player body is clumsy when climbing and jumping, and they make you do a fair bit of it, and I don’t love the platforming style. The gunplay feels good, but so far it’s not in service of much.

I dunno, maybe it gets more engaging, but so far I’m lukewarm.

I played the new Myst course for Walkabout Mini Golf last night. Great stuff, as always. The course gimmick consists mainly of floor-plates you need to roll your ball over to trigger contraptions like pivoting ramps or guardrails that raise and lower. And all that immersive 90s nostalgia! It’s like taking a trip down imaginary memory lane.

1797

Recommendations for some apps/games/experiences that would be good for kids in the 10-12 range?

1798

I would think Beat Saber, Walkabout Mini Golf off the top of my head. Maybe Moss (though I never played it). Looks cute and cool.

1799

Bait! is pretty cool

…it’s a fishing game with fantastical elements

1800

Mission ISS is free for a cool in orbit experience.

My kids like Walkabout golf… The Reef was enjoyed for a good hour between them. I expect the Job simulators would do well, but I haven’t picked them up. I’ve been thinking since my daughter likes the Sims games and Animal Crossing, that Raccoon Lagoon looks like her jam. My son loves Open Brush.

Walkabout Mini Golf is my favorite VR game but mostly because we play it multiplayer as a weekly social event. Really fun though and the courses have really gotten better over time with the DLC. Clash of Cooks, Loco Dojo, Catan, and Cook Out fit the MP mold too, though you’d need a second Quest (which I highly recommend too, if they really get into it).

If you or your girls like puzzles, the ‘I Expect You to Die’ games (1 and 2) are excellent. Basically a spoof on James Bond, where you’re placed in a scenario and have to escape (stationary, you can sit or stand). The Room is also great for that, though it’s a bit more serious. It has some violence but more cartoony stuff.

Rhythm game-wise, either Beat Saber or Pistol Whip are great. Pistol Whip obviously involves guns and shooting though.

Moss and Moss 2 are fun 3rd person games where you control a mouse protagonist. Really neat to see the VR effect with a platform type game.

My girls like Job & Vacation Simulator as a fun toybox to kind of play around in. Cosmonious High is by the same maker and is supposed to be fun in the same vein. Startenders is another one in the genre but you’re working as a space bartender while you uncover some sort of conspiracy. Raccoon Lagoon is a fun little Animal Crossing type game that fits in here too.

Real VR Fishing is one of the better looking VR games & it’s a nice peaceful relaxing take on the genre.

Demeo is an excellent tabletop board game that I think has pass-the-quest gameplay for local MP.

For action RPG type stuff, Until You Fall is a great 1st person melee roguelike. Or In Death: Unchained but might not be better for you instead of them.

Traffic Jams was a fun cartoony game where you work as a traffic cop, sort of.

For shooters, Swarm is a heck of a lot of fun and somehow doesn’t cause motion sickness. Like Spider-man crossed with a bullet hell (more of a heck here) shooter.

Vermillion is a neat painting tool which lets you basically create digital paintings like you would on a regular canvas.

1802

I finished Moss II, and I can recommend it, although not without reserves. It’s better than the first game, but it isn’t notably better.
It’s a pair of hours longer than the first game, there are more environment types, the puzzles are slightly more involved, you have a pair of new weapons and a pair of a new enemies, there are three boss fights and they are well done. Still, the combat is very simplistic and the platform sometimes can feel a bit imprecise, apart of being in general an easy game, not having difficulty settings, not rewarding exploration beyond some collectibles I don’t care, and not being a replayable game at all. So maybe wait until the next oculus30 code you get or next sale.

Now that I have a rtx 3070, I wanted to try some VR games I had pending since time ago. Like Star Wars Squadrons, which I abandoned on the third mission waiting to have a new computer, and it was retro-projecting too much. Ironically, since then, the game has been given for free, added to Gamepass, and again given for free next week (on EGS) so I wasted my money.
What I have learned is that it is a piece of shit of a game to move. On normal 2d mode, I cash push 200-250 fps on ultra, but on VR to get 90 fps I have to lower it to low-medium details. I guess the engine is just not appropriate for VR and that’s it.

But still, one more thing. There is something happening with the gamma, look at the main menu. What the hell. Does anyone knows how to fix it? I’m playing it without SteamVR.

Eleven Table Tennis recreates the feeling of playing ping ping very accurately. Expect to try to lean on a virtual table to return a close-to-the-net shot.
