@EvaUnit02 I really love the Souls games but have been hesitant to try AC. Where would you recommend a new player start in the series?

Well, understand that it doesn't really play like a Souls game at all. That said, I'd probably just wait for the new one if you're excited for it. If not, either AC4 or AC5 would probably be the way to go. The early games didn't map camera movement to the right stick; so, I would avoid those as a newcomer.

AC4 plays a lot more "super robot-y" than the other games. AC5 has much smaller mechs by scale which makes terrain and cover much more important tactical considerations.

Like others mentioned, Subnautica, No Man’s Sky, and Skyrim are fun in VR, but not made for it. No Man’s Sky, though, almost feels like it was. Also Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice is really good in VR (and spooky). For “VR-First” games, obviously Beat Saber, but also found Thrill of the Fight (Boxing) fun and a great workout. On PC/Steam, many of the Steam Home places are very cool.

Skyrim can almost be modded like Skyrim SE, so that’s a huge plus. There are also VR specific mods that give you a more natural VR feel, like HIGGS (Haptic Overhaul), VRIK (giving you a body) and PLANCK (gives you the ability to interact more freely and directly with your environment) This definitely gives Skyrim the VR feel that it needs.

Having something like VR Weapon Throw also gives you a lot more options to play the game, adding thrown weapons and semi-medieval firearms. They don’t make a lot of sense canonically, but the added gameplay value is tremendous.

Another Idea is to add a couple of “Survival Mode” mods, to make it truly immersive. Speaking of Immersion, you definitely should install as much graphical overhauls as your PC can handle, especially for NPCs and Items. You can handle muddy textures in the forest, but it’s not pleasant to speak to a muddy textured face. Or looking at a sword that’s just a blob of grey and shiny.

shiveyarbles,

Yup my only used games are beat sabre, thrill of the fight, and eleven table tennis. My 13 year old loves bar fight though

Tubulous,

Forgot about Drunken Bar Fight. I have the Halloween one and can vouch for it as well.

Nice. Mine were all bright red or pink (depending on which TV I was playing on).

    Told someone I played rust and they asked if I was racist or suicidal because those are apparently the qualifiers.

    It really does bring the worst out of humanity, but at the same time I’ve met and known people for years who were my neighbors or even rivals

    Was looking for this lol.

    I bought a Rust ages ago, back when the development basically had it turning into a new game every year. Maybe I just got lucky back then, but never had a toxic interaction.

    Cut to last year, when a group of guild members went to Rust so I redownloaded it after 5 years. Most of us only lasted a few hours and we tried half a dozen servers lol.

    GetsThruBuckner, do gaming w What are y'all's all time favourite game OSTs?
    @GetsThruBuckner@lemmy.world avatar

    Persona 5 Royal. Close 2nd is Nier: Automata. Both amazing OSTs

    youknowthatthing,

    P5R had an excellent soundtrack

    BluePhoenix01,

    My main wish after P5R soundtrack was released… is that I wish there was a definitive playlist of the order once both soundtracks are merged. As of right now, there is a set list for P5 and then a separate one for P5R…

    Maybe I need to keep looking, or generate it myself (it’s harder than it seems though).

    Check out J-music Ensemble’s Persona 5 cover album Metagroove! It’s really well made, I couldn’t go back to listening the vanilla soundtrack without thinking of it.

    That TLD is a problem too. A lot of network admins are blocking domains like *.zip and *.mov because the majority of them are used for malicious link abuse and it isn’t worth the work to check them.

    elkaki,

    You can always connect your quest to pc right? (Hope OP has a good computer to do that, haven’t checked the quest 2 but I remember how much worse roborecall looked on quest 1)

    nivenkos, do gaming w Whats a game that everybody seems to love that you cant stand for one reason or another?

    Terraria - I just don’t understand what you’re meant to do or why it’s interesting.

    I actually really like TOTK though, it’s a big improvement over BOTW with a slightly more alive world and the vehicle creation stuff is fun.

    Kindajustlikewhat,

    Idk if I’m just dumb or something but I have tried to play terraria on 5+ separate occasions and the controls and UI just DON’T make sense to me. Like how to craft?! How to equip? How to do stuff? It was just so confusing. I tried on mobile and steam deck. I even looked up the controls online and mapped it out. It just never clicked for me. I felt like an 80 year old using a smartphone for the first time.

    rejpal,

    Go is the most amazing game I know. I often regret not sticking with it as a kid. And IRL games are wonderful. The feeling of the stones on fingertips, the rattle of prisoners, the clicks and clacks when placing stones on the goban…

    What does this even mean? People shouldn’t talk about it because it doesn’t have as many users?

    BeardedSingleMalt, do gaming w What are some of your LEAST favorite game mechanics?

    Radiant quests. You can never complete the game because of this, the quests are generic and repetitive and offer nothing but “stretch the playtime”.

    That and mechanics like “rando dragon attacks in Skyrim” and “City is under attack” from Fallout 4. I quit F4 because I was on my way to a mission and got the "city under attack notification, and on my way to defend another city was under attack.

    isosphere,

    To yes-and this: procedural content in general. No Man’s Sky is a snore-fest for me, big, empty, meaningless. Missions in Elite Dangerous and X4 are similarly pretty boring, though the former is more fun the first time around. There has to feel like there’s some world-affecting point to what you’re doing. IMO

    AngularAloe,

    I found the procedurally-produced planets in No Man’s Sky to be stunningly beautiful. Then I would walk around on them and the similar-but-not-quite look of every part of the landscape would slowly drive me INSANE.
