Seems like the 64GB version would be more than enough for these games, as the more demanding ones I want to play via Virtual Desktop anyway. Is this the general consensus? Yeah, I think the 64gb is more than enough unless you want to store 3d movies on it or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd definitely check out a few 3D movies, but I could also just stream them through Virtual Desktop as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cusideabelincoln Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 So far the app that made me most giddiest was a browser-based Spider-man game in Firefox. It looked like a PS1 game and the physics were pretty basic, but the feel of shooting your webs and swinging was fucking amazing. I reaaaaaaaaaaaaaally want a more fleshed out Spidey game. Also I am intrigued by just drawing the Guardian area upon setup. Are there any decent augmented reality games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No AR stuff yet, but there are a few games that support full hand tracking. I also saw a video that allowed you to bring in your physical keyboard into VR, but it had to stay in the same spot. Some oculus updates also hinted couches and other home object that can be placed in the gaurdion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost_MH Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 I couldn't find the Reverb G2 anywhere in stock, so I just caved and shelled out the $300 for a Quest 2. I'm not sure I want to go back to tethered gaming after getting to enjoy Alyx complete wireless with nary a dropped frame in sight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They places new restrictions in Indiana and I will probably make a third of what I did this week last year. However if finances aren't ruined this week there is supposed to be a big sale on the Quest store for Black Friday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spork3245 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 What games do you guys recommend for an 11 year old? Looking at the BF sale, and limiting to $50 max, we were thinking Vader Immortal, Robo Recall Unplugged, and maybe like Thrill of the Fight or Fruit Ninja...? Could also nix two of those in favor of Moss ($30), however then he’ll just have two games to play. Also, we wanted to set it up for him (my fiancé’s nephew), but I know you need a Facebook account for Quest 2 and he doesn’t have one. If we create one for him (his mom said we could) is it going to get flagged as a burner account for Quest? The other option would be to tie it to his mom’s account. Lastly can you buy gift cards for the Oculus store? We don’t want our CCs on file since it’s not ours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dash Dash World isn't on sale but great for an 11 year old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPCyric Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 PSA Star Wars Squadrons is $13.99 with coupon on the Epic Games Store for the holiday sale! Also Tetris Effect for $16.79 if you prefer to get the PC version (is there much of a difference between the two versions does anyone know?). Operencia: The Stolen Sun is on sale for $11.99 and looks interesting has anyone here played it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I own the game on EGS, but I load it through Steam. So when I launch the game through Steam it opens Origin, which then opens EGS. To get the VR to actually work, I had to wait until the game is fully loaded, go to settings, and manually toggle the VR option on/off while I have a mission loaded (so when there's a 3D load on the system). So the game didn't launch in VR mode automatically for some reason, and I had trouble getting VR to enable from the main start menu. And before you people ask why I just don't launch from EGS, I use the Steam controller with custom bindings and gyro support to play the game Hopefully the game goes on a good sale on Steam because I think I'm just going to double dip. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly, since it won't be a native Steam game. I had to manually add the game to my VR list on Steam as well. Not sure how the VR desktop software is for the Reverb, but for Oculus I was also running other programs to get the headset completely wireless.

I get the Reverb today which suprises me. Any other game recommendations? I have Squadrons, want to get Rick and Morty and that ghost hunter game.

Polybius, Moose Life, Rez Infinite, Tetris Effect, Audica, Until You Fall, Superhot VR and Thumper are all games you should own. There are some other titles I would recommend but I feel those are core VR experiences. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
