M137, do games w Dying Light
@M137@lemmy.world avatar

This is crazy, I just woke up and I remembered I drunkenly installed a game yesterday but couldn’t for the life of me remember what the game was. I opened my lemmy app and see this close to the top and remembered it was dying light: the beast. I finished the second one a couple of months ago and wanted to take a small break before diving into the new one, while also letting some more patches be released.

I’m currently playing Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 too but I’m unsure if it’s for me. I see why it’s so loved but I’m not at all good with tight timing stuff and I feel the exploration is a bit lackluster.

I wanted to like it but I hate the parrying mechanic so much.

PlantJam,

The parrying/timing mechanic is what stopped me from buying it, too. I’ve learned I’m too particular about games to buy them on release.

thermal_shock,

Same. Looks good, but not for me. Nephew loves it.

I used to a lot as a kid. It was pretty much the only way to get some more obscure games.

I pretty much stopped in the mid 2000s except for some collectors editions of games that I was 99% sure were going to be great Halo3, Fallout3, New Vegas etc. I still do the same thing now with the odd switch collectors edition xenoblade chronicles, the final fantasy pixel remasters, unicorn overlord but those were games I was 99% sure would be finished at launch.

The rest of the time I wait a year or so until the game is half priced and finished.

I felt exactly the same way with (combat) flight sims.

Without VR, a lot of it was practicing maneuvers and attitudes as the target or the airfield would be out of my view most of the time. With VR, it just feels right, you can just keep the target in sight and move yourself into position. Your sense of distance and attitude is also 100% better. I can fly altitudes better, dogfight much better and so on.

You also get a much better sense of the whole plane, how big it is, how it moves around, and it also is tons more immersive. I can do 2 hour flights without getting bored easy in VR - not that you don’t get hella tired from that.

krooklochurm,

I played the SHIT out of squadrons in very with a hotas.

I was terrible at it.

I didn’t care.

I was IN a tie fighter. I was flying a fucking tie fighter. I was obsessed.

excursion22,

It’s a game changer with non-combat flight sims too. Camera-attached face tracking is a great secondary option, but that ability to move the camera with your head instead of using a controller input is so freeing.

Bluefruit, do games w Do you preorder games?

Me personally, I’ll never pre-order a game. Pre ordering is different from early access because i actually get the game even in a unfinished state.

All that said, it depends on the game. Timberborn has been the only early access game I felt has been worth it. The Devs are still putting out regular updates and have vastly improved the game since i bought it. Its been very fun to play from the beginning and has only gotten better.

Compare that to something like cyberpunk, yea I’m good. Couldn’t imagine how that must of felt to preorder that and get that mess on release. I think the main difference is the studio. AAA games I rarely buy anymore. Indie games though? Thats where I’m at.

nutsack, (edited ) do gaming w VR is an absolute game changer for racing games

ya vr rules i hope the games keep getting made

for shooters its very intense. with into the radius I was practicing reload drills, and counting rounds as I shoot them so that I can keep one in the chamber and do it faster. knowing where all my gear is on my body so that I can grab things as I need them in a pinch. dropping clips on the ground as im reloading in a panic. practicing actually holding the gun and aligning the sights quickly.

bone lab had me smashing things over the head with the butt of the gun when they got too close to fire at them.

with a 2d shooter you are pointing and clicking a mouse and pressing r.

nutsack, do games w Do you preorder games?

no, I’ve never done that. I’ve never seen much of a discount so I’ve never had any incentive to

I had to share this because no one else in my life will listen.

I’m listening, but more importantly, I completely understand 😭

Also, if you think this setup (with the Xbox controller) is great, wait until the Steam Frame comes out with the new Steam Controller integration (it has IR LEDs on the front of it so you can see a virtual representation of it in the menus). You also won’t need to plug it into your PC as the Steam Frame itself is basically a full PC.

I’m so hyped about it! Finally, a real Linux OS we can customize TF out of instead of locked-down versions of Android that look like they are designed for toddlers.

@PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca avatar

Very hyped for the steam frame but not optimistic with the ram prices and subsequent shortage of every other pc part due to AI.

I wonder how powerful the Steam Frame will be. I’ve got a steam deck and I understand it will probably be similar in power. Wonder how it will handle pc racing games.

artyom,

I’ve got a steam deck and I understand it will probably be similar in power

Not even close. Steam Frame has basically a phone processor in it. It’s a “streaming-first” device.

PerogiBoi,
@PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca avatar

Ya so I’d need to use my desktop for any vr games

artyom,

I mean it’s no less powerful than the Meta Quest.

priapus,

The Steam Frame is mainly aimed at displaying games running on your PC, it’s specs won’t be as good as the Steam Deck.

PerogiBoi,
@PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca avatar

Ya I can’t imagine an ARM processors going to push that much power. I’m surprised with the meta quest 3s though. That’s what I’m currently using

priapus,

Yeah it’ll definitely still run decent stuff. From what I’ve seen it seems to be able to run a lot of the games that can run on those headsets. The tough part is that a lot of those games only have their ARM version on the Oculus store and are shipped as android software. Hopefully devs will be willing to release a Linux ARM version for the Frame.

realitaetsverlust, do games w Dying Light

Dying Light 1 is the best one anyways - DL2 was a big step down and DL:TB was fine, but wasn’t able to really “connect” to DL1 either. DL1 just had everything - great combat, great parcour, creepy nights with an actual INCENTIVE to go out (to kill bolters) - I honestly don’t know why they are unable to replicate that success.

To answer the question - Rimworld and Project Zomboid. As always.

Nelots,

Rimworld. As always.

How’s the Geneva checklist coming along?

realitaetsverlust,

I’m currently raising children in life pods to put them into the ripcore scanner to convert their brains into subcores to advance my mech army.

Nelots,

Nice. Last I played, I recently found out colonists’ moods are locked the second their enter a coma. I of course abused this by turning my colonists into unaging sangophages, getting them as happy as possible, having them deathrest permanently, and then giving them a psychic harmonizer.

Eventually I got my hands on a modified sangophage gene with psychic hypersensitivity, and it was smooth sailing from there. My little meat joy batteries would each give my colonists up to like +40 mood in a massive radius around my base.

Nethack. Been playing for 30 years and still never ascended. This time I’m fully kitted out and I’ll be damned if I don’t get a win!

Azathoth,

I adore Nethack; there is so much to discover! Although, most of it is stuff that kills you. My first ascension was with the very reliable human Valkyrie.

tomiant,
@tomiant@piefed.social avatar

Yeah it’s ridiculously deep. Like I said, I played it for 30 years and I still learn new stuff all the time when I read the wiki or watch videos, like “damn! Had no clue, that is pretty smart, what a bizarre mechanism but it’s perfectly logical when you think about it” hahaha!

badgermurphy,

I’m pulling for you over here! I never made it past the fortress right after Medusa.

Imagine my great sorrow when I discovered that turning Perseus back to a man didn’t make him tame! 🥺

tomiant,
@tomiant@piefed.social avatar

Hahaha! First run ever that I got a wand of wishing and genuinely have nothing more I need, so I wished for a blessed figurine of an Archon and applied it, and he spawned with Demonbane and just mows down monsters like it’s nobody’s business. :)

badgermurphy,

“What do you get for the guy that has everything?” 😂

Duke_Nukem_1990,

Downloaded it because of this comment. An good starter guide / tutorial you can recommend?

tomiant,
@tomiant@piefed.social avatar

Oh wow, you are going to spend a lot of time on the https://nethackwiki.com, there’s also a tutorial on YouTube that goes into the basics. First tip is: dying is fun! Just experiment a lot in the beginning. Start out with a dwarven valkyrie, that’s the easiest class/race to play.

In the beginning you’re just going to learn the controls and get used to visually id monsters and items. I don’t know which version you play, I can recommend one with a visual GUI, I’m an ASCII purist myself, but the interface for vanilla Nethack is just brutal. There are variants like Fiqhack and Dynahack that come with a bunch of QoL improvements like separate windows for message history, inventory, stats et c.

It takes a very long time to learn and master (as evidenced by my 30 year journey), but there is just something to it, it is so well thought out and it has been continuously tweaked over almost 40 years, and sees plenty of people still playing it.

There’s a nethack subreddit that I would recommend checking out when you have questions!

Welcome, and go with Tyr!

shadshack, do gaming w VR is an absolute game changer for racing games

Oh yeah VR racing is awesome. If you can afford one, I highly recommend getting a steering wheel with haptic feedback. They have motors in the wheels that will make it pull back to center to straighten out, just like a real car does, as well as interface with a lot of the games directly so that the wheel will shake a bit as you are hitting bumps in the road. I have legitimately never been as immersed in VR as I have been with one of these wheels.

The Logitech G920 is the one I have, looks like it’s on a good sale right now on Amazon too.

PerogiBoi,
@PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca avatar

I’ve been thinking of getting one! I have a force feedback airbus flight stick and it vibrates on take off or when I deploy flaps for approach and landing. Very very cool

If you have a gyroscopic controller, you can use it like a steering wheel too!

Sadly I don’t :( it sounds cool though

For me any faster movement is sadly an instant mostion sickness simulation. How did you get rid of that?

PerogiBoi,
@PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca avatar

Fast motion where it’s in my peripheral vision as well as primary field of view gives me nausea even with pretty strong VR legs.

Sometimes games (and headsets) will have a comfort mode which adds a vignette around the peripheral vision when there’s high movement. That usually helps lower motion sickness.

What racing games are you playing?

Assetto Corsa, Dirt Rally 2, Assetto Corsa Rally as well

I recommend trying Automobilista 2! It has decent VR support and decent VR performance compared to most sims, and makes it hard to race elsewhere for me.

PerogiBoi,
@PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca avatar

I’ll have to check it out! I’ve seen it around but haven’t heard much about it :)

If you want to test your vr legs or puke on your legs, try GRIP: Combat Racing

PerogiBoi,
@PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca avatar

Oof I played that in 2D and it was bonkers. There’s no way I’m trying it in vr haha

Lfrith,

Have you tried flying games? I’d imagine that would feel really cool in VR.

PerogiBoi,
@PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca avatar

Oh yes! Elite Dangerous, XPlane 12 (and 11), VTOLVR, Aerofly FS4 are all the flying games I play in VR. It’s incredible.

FTL is a standard holiday game fore, as well as getting people on a Total Annihilation server. Still super hard and still super awesome
