    Might as well get one of these started.

    Keep spoilers to a minimum for those of us still playing the games (or at least use the spoiler tag) :D

    Currently I'm gradually making my way through Half Life Alyx when I get the time (every odd evening). Playing using my Quest and Virtual Desktop.

    It's sickening how perfect this game is. I have dreams about it!

    I'm just starting the Jeff stage... the lights have gone out... now don't tell me what's next!

    Still on Alyx?! Jeez..I've parked the VR for a while..

    Had started Red Matter though, pretty impressive for the Quest!

    Looking to find a plank of wood for 'Richie's plank experience' to share with pals when the world resumes as normal!

    haha yeah I don't get much free time in the evenings believe it or not :)

    Also I'm savouring every moment as I'm playing on Hard difficulty, and also spend ages searching for items

    Tetris Effect on PC ..really trippy , and the VR makes a huge difference


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,583 ✭✭✭✭mrcheez


    QuestZDoom is amazing! Just playing it out in the garden (after sundown of course!) with all Brutal Doom hi res mods turned on.

    Neighbors probably think I'm mad. Little do they know I'm bringing unholy justice to hellspawn ...hence my loud swearing

    I was mostly playing Blade and Sorcery, found a mod that gives you more options to choose the types of AI, so endless one on ones with swordsmen has kept me busy, then I busted one of my controllers by thrusting it into a wall...

    Guess I'll be mostly playing IL2:sturmovik and City Car Driving until a replacement controller arrives


    Only played an hour or two of Alyx. The dialogue and voice acting was doing my head in, and then stupid puzzles making a comeback like its 2005 finished me.

    Ah stick with Alyx...it's really good...esp Chapter 7


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,583 ✭✭✭✭mrcheez


    Completed Alyx today... phew a long ride but incredibly enjoyable! I honestly don't know how people play it wired as there are so many times I had to rotate around stairways or creep down behind cover while walking backward in the room.

    Gonna try clearing off some long-unfinished titles on PSVR like Farpoint, plus I have No Man's Sky and The Persistence still in their wrapping!!


    Probably Farpoint first... hopefully the Aim controller still holds a charge :D

    Also booted up BBC Spacewalk again and Mission:ISS after the SpaceX launch at the weekend- two fascinating free(i think Mission:ISS was free - got it ages ago) - games....really make you get the sense of scale for the ISS!

    Started Astrobot. Only the the first World completed but it's great so far

    Currently play a rotation of Beat saber, pistol whip and space pirate trainer. Waiting for the sale at the end of June to get Alyx and possibly others.

    Im hoping Alyx is as good as everybody has said.

    Did they say Alyx would be in the sale?


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,254 ✭✭✭Shlippery


    Can't imagine Alyx going on sale as long as it prints money for em!


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,583 ✭✭✭✭mrcheez


    Works for Beat Saber!

    New to VR as of today, playing Project Cars 2 for the past couple of hours and cant believe how different the game feels in VR im like a little kid.

    I would say September is more likely before first drop based on the IsThereAnyDeal.com record for their other games.

    But you never know!! :)

    To me, this was worth every penny I spent on it, and I *NEVER* buy games full price... ever.

    Even my Switch games are purchased when they are at least 1 year old, and BOTW got a huge €5 discount :P


  • Registered Users Posts: 28,725 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    And credits rolled on Astor Bot. Quality game

    you mean Assetto Corsa?

    Interface is better on Project Cars for VR, though Assetto Corsa has more plugins

    Nope, I mean Astro(bot). Poster was 'new to VR'. He has to do Astro. As you well know, it's brilliant ;) I'm looking for a deal on 'I expect you to die'. Looks good, and I love those puzzle type setups - and Statik, I loved that too.

    Nope


    Interesting this came up though. Should we have 2 different threads for the PSVR vs PC VR ? But then what about Quest and Go??

    Maybe better people just post up what platform they are using :D

    As for me... I was playing Sonic The Hedgehog 2 last night on my Oculus Go via Oculus Arcade ... it's so damned immersive, they even have the air conditioning of the arcade in the background!


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,583 ✭✭✭✭mrcheez


    Playing Virtual Boy games on my Oculus Go at the moment.

    I can't get over just how great some of these games are, I don't think they ever got any recognition due to the hardware.

    Virtual Boy Wario Land is pure genius, and the 3D effect is great.


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,583 ✭✭✭✭mrcheez


    Tetris Effect on PSVR is my new addiction... pure zen


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,824 ✭✭✭ShooterSF


    Trover and really enjoying it. Then I love Rick and Morty and Solar Opposites and Justin Roiland's style of humour is all over this.

    It's so polished. I think it's pretty much an AAA platformer almost on par with Astrobot.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,254 ✭✭✭Shlippery


    Finished Trover (must do the DLC actually..) but now back to Tetris.

    I really can't believe how much I'm digging Tetris Effect.

    Feel like it'd be great craic after a load of mushrooms.

    I go t Alyx for free with my Valve Index. Every other headset is trash.
    I bet console plebs are seething they can't play it on their under-powered door stops.
