One thing that could be interesting to discuss is character creators and general restrictions on what a player avatar can and can’t do.

For example:

  • Require all player + npc relationships to be hetero.
  • Have most relationships be hetero, but sprinkle one or two bi characters for spice.
  • Lock certain clothing options or body styles to specific genders.
  • Tie the player’s pronouns and voice to their gender.
  • Tie the player’s gender to what’s in their pants.
  • Restrict genetal options to a boolean “male” or “female” (intersex people exist).
  • Force the player to only be in a monogamous relationship.
  • Allow the player to be polyamous but inexplicably punish them for being too poly (Looking at you, Stardew).

I’ve been playing Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel recently on PC and despite being relatively action heavy it’s 99% left hand (WASD + Q + space)

Most my time with Crypt of the Necrodancer was during a hand injury. It’s of course a pretty intense game though, so it’s not for everyone.

I played it last year. It was certainly interesting, though it showed me the challenges of VR games. Before, I always hated the idea of using the teleport feature because it seems cheesy. However, after several tries without it, I can say it’s necessary. You end up feeling very nauseous otherwise. But, as a player you’re just way less capable than non-VR games. You can’t move around as easily and so you can’t take on as many enemies or maneuver as easily around the map. In most encounters with enemies, you can only fight a max of maybe 3, before you start to feel overwhelmed. Even 1 is usually enough to feel stressed and when those saw drones fly at you, you’ll panic and possibly yank a cable or get disoriented and bump into something in the real world. Crouching behind cover and shooting is pretty cool though — possibly the most immersive part.

Sabata11792,

I had the opposite problem where teleporting makes me dizzy. I only used it as a last resort and can’t survive games that don’t give you the option to not use it.

MolecularCactus1324,

You’re able to tolerate moving around without teleport? I have a pretty strong stomach and never get sick on boats or planes, but that just completely fucks me up. I can tolerate it for about 20 minutes, but after that I’m ready to hurl. With teleport I could play for an hour or more.

Lv_InSaNe_vL,

I’m not the person who originally replied but locomotion is significantly more comfortable than teleports. The teleporting makes me dizzy and messes with my sense of balance and orientation.

I also don’t get motion sick in any non-vr setting either.

ultranaut,

The trick is to stop as soon as you start to feel nausea. If you keep doing that your body starts to adapt to VR and eventually you won’t get nausea except in really extreme experiences.

Sabata11792,

I think I’m just use to the movement style and teleporting is a bit jarring and makes me stumble. It takes a good dozen hours to stop getting motion sick in general. Now I can do it drunk.

Blackmist,

It took me a long time to get used to VR locomotion.

I still really can’t handle smooth turning at all, but using VRChat a lot (where the teleport movement is terrible) made me get used to the left stick movement at least which is really all you need.

Does the PS3 version include the secret Michael Jackson easter egg for your bed?

Not as far as i’m aware. The bed does put me inside blocks though (or at least the oldest version on my disk does)

One Finger Death Punch and One Finger Death Punch 2

What more is there to say? The reason why that works perfectly is already in the title of the game.

Caution: this game is addictive

JackRider, do games w One-handed games?

For the cozy-game friend, I’d say A Short Hike might be a solid pick. It’s super chill, no stress, and you can get away with playing it mostly with just the left stick and a button or two — easy to remap if needed. Spiritfarer could also work, though it might take a little tweaking depending on how much movement they can handle.

Ben Heck made a couple of one handed controllers a few years ago. One of these controllers might open up more games than remapping buttons.

I would lo to be able to justify buying a 1500€ vr set. But using it for one or two games does not make the threshold for me.

I hope they make more really good games so it become justifiable.

CannedCairn,

I use the 300 dollar quest 2 and stream it?

WolfLink,

Here’s a list of VR games I’d 1000% recommend:

  • Half Life: Alyx
  • I Expect you to Die (James Bond themed virtual escape rooms - 3 games in the series so far, all of them are good)
  • Super Hot (slo-motion first person combat puzzle game)
  • Beat Saber (a unique rhythm game)
  • Pavlov (CS:GO but in VR with extensive modding support)

There are other good ones out there but that’s the list that justifies the headset to me.

Also there are some good VR ports of non-VR games out there such as Myst and The Talos Principle. Also there are some good Minecraft mods that add VR support (Java edition of course). Stay away from the Skyrim port though.

DoucheBagMcSwag,

Vertigo 2

Rai,

The Skyrim port is amazing! …with 100 mods.

Lv_InSaNe_vL,
  • the walking dead games
  • Walkabout VR (putt-putt game)
  • Dungeons of Eternity (quest exclusive)
  • Any flight/racing sim (this is actually the biggest selling point I can make. Seriously if you like flight/racing sims, please get one. It’ll change your life)
  • No Man’s Sky (one of my demo games)
PhAzE,

What? Quest 2 is like $250 and it connects to your PC and works just fine for Alyx.

Smokeless7048,

Get a Quest 3 for like $400 CAD, incredible for its price.

Psythik,

Dude, VR has been affordable for over half a decade now. Get with the times.

Blackmist,

The headsets have (if you can stomach Meta). Thanks to the combines efforts of Nvidia, scalpers, crypto-bros and AI-nerds, the hardware cost has been sailing into the distance and shows no sign of stopping.

PieMePlenty, do games w Half Life: Alyx is Five Years Old Today

It wasn’t “my” Half Life but it was a damn good one. It felt true to the series and that brought a tear to my eye. The writing, the environments, the soundtrack all felt very Half Life without compromise. I didn’t like that it was a VR title but I understood why they went that route. In 2D, it would probably lack in depth (in more ways than one).

I borrowed a VR set from a friend to play it and bought the game at 60% off, which it frequently drops to. I’d urge anyone who has a VR capable PC to try and play it some way but VR is always going to restrict access to this. I’ll probably play through it in 2d Mode (via mod) some day in the future to try and relive it. And if non-VR is the only way you get to experience it, at minimum, use headphones… and dont go online saying it sucks after because, remember, it was made for VR.
