Oh god, it's so bad, 5 minutes was enough for me, terrible graphics too - couldn't even change the brightness slider before starting the game which made just finding the generator (first task) incredibly hard because the torch was so unrealistic.

Lol, game of the decade for sho

Naturally it'd be awesome in vr though...

Killing zombies in VR never gets old

Hit 200k GS today.. kinda fucked it up and actually landed on 200040 just to annoy my OCD.. got it finishing JumpJet Rex (didn't realise it would unlock 3 achievements at the same time) - the last level is fucking tough.. so maybe the final achievement wasn't as worthy as my 100k achievement (100%ing Lost Odyssey - 50 hours to get one poxy achievement).. but I still had to work for it!

Congrats, mate. Helluva milestone!

[harv]

I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing. The WHO has called video game addiction a disease lol

Congrats!

[jman]

Well it is over the space of around 12 and a half years.. by that calculation that's around 16k Gamerscore per year.. the equivalent of 100%ing 16 games a year... doesn't sound that bad when you put it like that

Forgetting the fact that arcade games used to only be worth 200GS of course

I think I'm addicted to Skyrim VR and VR Porn...especially the latter lol

I went scorched earth on my system drive on my PC a few weeks ago which fucked up my mods for Skyrim VR somehow and these last couple of days I've been downloading and installing mods in between matches and at night after the matches have finished.

Now I've finished them and I'm itching to play the game. Someone on the Skyrim VR sub-Reddit did an eye candy mod guide so I've been following that. It looks a lot better than my previous mod list I think, particularly where the lighting and fires are concerned.

It's a shame that Microsoft aren't having a VR option for the Xbox One X because playing Skyrim in VR, even if you've put hundreds of hours into the vanilla game, really is amazing. You'll see little things that you completely missed whilst playing it flat (AKA Flatrim to some lol) and spellcasting, archery and to a lesser extent melee combat are amazing to do in game.

And even without mods seeing some of these views from INSIDE the game is literally jaw dropping at times...but with 4K textures things are on a completely different level altogether.

Yeah I played it 7 years ago.. Good for you, your playing a really old game.  How many current triple A titles are available in VR, could probably count on one hand.  VR hasn't taken to the mainstream,  I think that's evident.. The fact it was pretty non-existent at E3 should be enough to know that there's gonna be sod all incoming too.

Yes, it's an old game. But like I said people that have played the game to death on other platforms are still enjoying the game in VR. There's no adrenaline rush in Flatrim like there is in Skyrim VR because playing it in VR is on a completely different level altogether. I just got attacked by bandits earlier and it was a real rush.

And of course VR hasn't gone mainstream. That's probably going to take another 5-10 years. As for AAA quality games there are plenty:

Elite Dangerous
Skyrim VR
Fallout 4 VR
Project CARS
Project CARS 2
Assetto Corsa
DiRT Rally VR
Lucky's Tale
Chronos
Edge Of Nowhere
The Climb
Robinson: The Journey
Wilson's Heart
From Other Suns
SuperHOT VR
The Mage's Tale
Arktika.1
Dead & Buried
Robo Recall
Obduction

That's 20 off the top of my head - and don't include PSVR games - if they're not all AAA quality games they're not far off. And these are all first generation games too.

In 5-10 years time when VR goes mainstream and you have a VR headset in your home you'll finally understand what all the fuss I've been making is all about. Particularly when it comes to horror games lol

It's going to take some time but VR headsets will be similar to tellies and DVD/Blu-Ray players - every home will have one.

[jman]

lol keep dreaming.. you've listed about 2-3 AAA games there... and nothing current either - you've also listed a plethora of games that got slated for their shitty VR experience - Robo Recall, Wilson's Heart, Edge of Nowhere and Robinson: The Journey to name a few.  Your opnion on "great" games is ridiculous anyway - the guy who claimed that ZombiU was a console seller - I couldn't bear playing the campaign for more than 5 minutes it was so bad LOL.

I won't be buying a VR headset in the forseable future - you'll be going back to normal gaming when the support for VR games dries up, just like you moved on when you finally realised the WiiU was a pile of wank

[harv]

I can't go back to normal gaming now, once you go VR you never go flat.

[jman]

Well, we'll see.. give in 3 or 4 years and VR will be superseded by another fad.. no doubt.

Anyway, if you are into your Skryim - you should google Malukah - she has a cracking version of The Dragonborn song - it still pops up from time-to-time when playing my mixes - I must have listened to it a LOT lol.  She has a few Skryim songs but nothing as good as Dragonborn.

[harv]

Nope. The only reasons why consumer VR didn't take off in the 80s and 90s were because the technology wasn't there to make it good enough quality and because it was WAY too expensive for people to buy.

VR isn't going anywhere.

And with standalone headsets like the Oculus Go and soon to be Santa Cruz you don't even need a powerful PC to make it possible.

Trust me, when you get a headset and play games in VR in 5-10 years you'll completely understand how awesome it is, and maybe by that time you'll have 16K per eye headsets with over a 200 degree FOV so that it's going to be VERY difficult to tell the difference between VR and real life.

The only downsides to this first generation of VR are the low resolution and 110 degrees FOV, there's plenty of SDE (Screen Door Effect) and it looks like you're seeing everything with ski goggles on but Oculus will be releasing their second generation high-end PC VR headset next year with a 140 degree FOV and what's likely to be 4K displays per eye with eye tracking and dynamic foveated rendering.

After experiencing games in VR I can't go back to playing games flat. There's a huge difference.

Can't see me bothering with vr or ar until we get it in contact lenses or some sort of implant. Can't be doing with wearing those silly headsets, just to play old games which aren't really designed to be played on vr.

Don't bother arguing the point or telling me how awesome it is. My opinion won't be swayed by anything you say.

Besides, your best argument seems to usually be the porn, which is fitting - vr at present is mainly for wankers.
