    Anyone fancy a game of Payday 2 in VR at some stage?

    Didn't even realise it was in my steam library until I checked the price! Thank you whatever bundle site!

    Anyone have some favourite YouTubers they watch playing VR.

    I find the PSVR guys the most fun.

    PSVR Without Parole is my favourite for general VR discussion and reviews (I use his reviews to judge if I should buy Oculus games as well)

    Seraphim190 is my favourite for let's plays as the guy is insanely funny because he's just crazy.

    It's not even remotely similar to the previous iterations.

    Regardless how many times you've played it before this is a completely new game/experience. Well worth purchase price.

    Wonder how much I can get for my PSVR retail.

    I like idea you can mod this version.

    It's worth finishing first. Nearly done with the Dragonborn DLC now, just that prick at the excavation site I keep giving money too. I hope my investment is worth it.

    Ah I got 12 hours in and then got sidetracked on other games. Need to get back to it but want to play RE7 first (still only played that for about 20 mins!)

    I was never a big fallout fan but tbh I tried getting into fallout VR but 4 hours of play and I just found it to be ****e, as much as I like Skyrim I'm not getting excited about this.

    Many people had issues with Fallout VR from what I can tell.

    Skyrim VR is pretty faultless. If it can work so well using clunky Move controllers on an OG PS4, it should be amazing on PCVR.

    Im.a pretty big Elder Scrolls fan so Ive played skyrim a ridiculous amount and played it with vorpx on pc so I'll be curious to see how different it is from that. Despite the game engine being similar the combat in fallout is very different so not sure how it'll compare to FO4vr.
    (also as someone who played a stealthy archer in skyrim im in for a damn workout!)

    oh yeah ...remember that "wrath of loki" hidden item puzzle game that cropped up in the indiegala bundle last month? Well a Thor's Hammer SteamVr prop unlocks in your steam inventory for playing it (after an hour or so ).
    It's currently the highest priced steamVR item in the steam market at the moment. Cheapest one is tenner ..dearest was around 40 quid. (I sold mine on for a fiver last week).
    Bearing in mind the game sells for 2.99 it’s bizarre...

    I was there at the beginning with VorpX and the other one (can't remember), it's night and day. The difference is outstanding. Fair play to VorpX for trying, but it failed miserably compared to this version.

    There's nothing like it, especially if you are a big ES fan.

    The massive difference (and why it supports Oculus) is controller support. There is a cohort of people, including me, that want VR without Wii style motion controls.

    Roll on FalloutVR controller support. (And hopefully therefore KB & Mouse.)

    Actually really excited for Skyrim as I never played it in it's non-vr form for more than an hour or so.

    Skyrim VR will hopefully be better than Fallout 4 VR

    V-Racer Hoverbike is coming to the Vive and Rift in April and looks promising.

    Like a wipeout style racer except on bikes.

    That could work quite well if you need to lean your head into sharp turns etc

    I got In Death for €14.99 with my free €13 ... absolutely killer game. Bow mechanics are outstanding.

    Pick it up if it drops again.

    The first three "ready player one" tie in games are up.
    https://www.roadtovr.com/htc-releases-ready-player-one-oasis-beta/
    Its a vive exclusive at the moment (via viveport) but they're free so theres that.
    I was pretty excited about the Gauntlet one ,as the original arcade game is one of my favourites ever (and I've played nearly every sequel since)
    and its..not bad , at least on first try .(It's probably more Archery/Dungeon simulator than Gauntlet (I mean there's no thor,thyria or merlin option, and no multiplayer, and a lot less corridors than I'd like).
    Going to do a a proper review on this in a day or so (when I get a chance!)
