secretly i have purchased this expensive item purely for pornography. the games are just to give my new sex toy a veneer of 'respectability'

Blue Jam

You do know it has no disc drive, right? Also the controllers may vibrate but they're a bit too big to fuck. If you're a man at least.

Nice one kittens, good to see you're joining us. Please allow me to recommend a wipe-clean silicone face pad cover, for purely non-sexual reasons.

Hello Friends my quest 2 arrives today and i can't wait to ruin cyberspace for everyone. i'm getting superhot, beat saber and i think 'walkabout adventure golf'. my computer is shite so i can only get ones that don't need that. what are the other ESSENTIAL VR EXPERIENCES?

Thrill of the Fight, it's only 8 squid and you'll get the workout of your life!
If you like shooting zombies, The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners is very good.

Blue Jam

Had a proper go on Thrill Of The Fight this week. Was a bit nervous about trying it because my flat isn't huge and I don't live alone. Anyway, it took two whole days for my upper arms, upper back and shoulders to stop aching afterwards. Fucking brilliant.

Anyone else finding that console gaming just doesn't cut it now they've tried VR? I've just cancelled Game Pass and after wanting a PS5 for ages I've found I'm just not that arsed anymore. Could be that there are just no new titles I want to play though.

A ludicrous purchase requires ludicrous funding, so I sold some Bitcoin and bought an oculus quest 2 with the profits.

Lads - I'm going virtual.

I'm the opposite. I think VR is smashing but Half-Life is the only VR game I've played so far with any depth. I tire of minigames and arcade games quickly, I want stuff to sink my teeth into.

It's funny - VR is the first major video game technology development I can think of that hasn't been an unambiguous step forward. There are so many things you can do in VR that were previously impossible, but there are also billions of things in traditional game design that you just can't do in VR, either because they're logistically unworkable or would make you hurl.

I was also relieved/surprised at how non-crap screen games felt after VR; very much a different medium I think.

kittens

beat saber is great. glad i bought it just for that. everything else is like fairly novel fun experiences but nowhere near that level. need to get a good pc and get alyx. be good to have some proper games for it

Blue Jam

I tell you what really breaks the immersion of VR: having a nice Sunday roast in the oven. Bit weird trying to shoot robots in the future and finding the future smells of sage and onion.

kittens

posting this from inside my oculus. incredible. is there a way to reposition the browser window like you can the screen in the netflix app? really craning my neck to type this crap

El Unicornio, mang

Yeah just aim your pointer at it, trigger and move.

You can reposition the screen in the Netflix app? Can you put it on the ceiling? I'd like to watch Netflix in bed pretending I'm in a planetarium.

kittens

yep - you need to go into "VOID MODE" and you can reposition it directly above you and lie in bed all day.

he'll soon get bored of it once he realises we all have him on ignore. then we can get back to drinking the special virtual booze that gets you drunk but never gives you a hangover or makes you gain weight

Ferris

Tuesday lads. I'll be there, in all your little CaB VR meetings drinking up the special booze and going on about how much hair I have.

popcorn

ffs he's going to fucking ruin the mainframe.

kittens

we'll be fine so long as he doesn't find the backdoor

Ferris

It arrives today. Will be exploring kittens' back door in the next 24 hours. Exciting.

Any Quest 2 users been getting an itchy phizzog?

Just submitted a request for a replacement face thingy, can't remember if I experienced any irritation before I got the silicone cover but better safe than having a scuba mask-shaped patch of irritation innit?

I thought I had an allergic reaction to the foam face pad when I first got my Q2, had swollen eyes and a red mark round my face. Turned out my eyes were rubbing slightly on the glass eye pieces inside the headset. Using the additional face gasket that comes with the headset cured the problem for me. No more irritated eyes. Might be worth giving that a go.

Mine's just been delivered and now there's itchy fizzog syndrome? Fucks sake.

It's not designed for anyone out cheekbones is it? Have to do some adjusting here, I can look down and seen the floor which breaks the immersion a bit (though I have to consciously do that so... maybe not?)

What's the first game then? What do I absolutely have to play (that costs less than 20 quid)?

BEAT SABER IS FUCKING MEGA

Ferris

Has anyone else here played on a Virtual Reality ("VR") system? I reckon it could be big.

(It is the best thing I've spent money on for a year - my thanks to Bitcoin for my chekky oculus quest)

I get the feeling that Sony QC would nix anything that vibrates the controllers for too long, although they did release an official peripheral for Rez on the PS2 that was so 'others could enjoy the beat of the game'.



I've nearly bought one a few times, but the idea of having to clean off some Japanese Okatu's ball sweat off them has always steered my hand away from the 'buy it now' button.

buntyman

I'm going to my local library at the weekend to 3d print myself a table tennis bat adapter thing for my controller. Might be something like that that you can customise for your vibrating pleasure
